The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée Chapter 24: I'm already married
When work ended, Denis followed Annie to a nearby coffee shop and chose a table by the window. He felt a spark of joy at having some time alone with her, but he didn't expect her first words to strike him like a thunderbolt, freezing his expression in place."Denis, I'm already married. My husband and I love each other deeply and live together in perfect harmony," she began, her voice calm but unwavering."I'm not the right person for you to pursue right now."Denis's smile faltered, and an awkward stiffness took its place. He stared at Annie, utterly baffled by what he had just heard."What are you talking about? Married? When did you get married?"His eyes widened, his voice tinged with confusion and disbelief. From the moment he had met Annie, she had always seemed unattached, hadn't she?"You don't need to make such an excuse just to brush me off. If you don't like me, say it outright, Annie," he said, his tone tinged with both frustration and resignation."I won't cling to you or

"Slap!"The slap landed on the porcelain-like face of the young girl, leaving a vivid red mark that gleamed in her eyes. The stinging sensation on her cheek left Annie momentarily stunned, her lips slowly oozing blood. She instinctively covered her face, unable to believe the disappointment in the eyes across from her."Don't look at me with those innocent eyes; it's disgusting. I've just asked you to help Sofia look after her blind fiancé for a while, but you can't even do that. What a selfish girl."After striking Annie, Calliope retrieved a handkerchief from her purse and delicately wiped her hand as if she had touched something filthy."That's right, my sister. Just a little favor, and you can't even graciously agree to help me."Sofia, bored, inspected her freshly painted nails with indifference. She expressed her disdain while glancing in Annie's direction, and she couldn't stand the sight of this run-down house either. If it weren't for things to do, she would never willingly a

As Annie left the hospital room, she crossed paths with the doctor primarily responsible for her mother's treatment. Annie engaged in a brief conversation, taking the opportunity to inquire about the status of the medical bills."Doctor, can I delay my mother's medical bill payment for a few more days? I really don't have enough money right now," Annie said sadly. She had been working multiple jobs lately, but the enormous medical expenses remained a pressing issue. No matter how hard she saved, it never seemed to be enough. The doctor empathized with Annie's family's situation and shook his head helplessly."Unfortunately, that's not possible. What a pity, we can only proceed with treatment after receiving the payment.""And your mother's condition is specific, requiring timely and regular treatment; otherwise, it could lead to health complications."Annie looked down at the ground in despair, thanked the doctor, and promised to do her best to gather the money. She then left and head

Sofia scoffed, her arrogant and cold attitude unchanged. "Agreeing sooner would have been better, my dear sister. Showing hesitation and reluctance is quite repulsive."Sofia then briefly recounted her situation and that of her current blind fiancé, Finn, to Annie. The engagement between Finn and Sofia had been arranged when both families were wealthy and prosperous. At that time, Finn was the only son in his family, handsome, talented, and possessed strong business acumen, making him a dream marriage prospect for many young women. Given the affluent circumstances of Sofia's family, they were considered a suitable match.However, recently, after Finn's mother passed away, his father hastily remarried a younger, beautiful stepmother, who had a son from a previous marriage, older than Finn by two years. Finn's father appeared to favor this stepson, Hubert and even had plans to groom him as the future heir to the family business. Consequently, Finn went from being the esteemed heir to an

When they entered the room, Joyce and Isolde were engaged in a cheerful conversation. They turned to look as they heard footsteps."Mom, I brought lunch for you," Annie said with a charming smile, placing the lunchbox on the small table beside the hospital bed. Denis, by her side, also spoke up."Hello, ma'am. I'm Annie's colleague. Today, I brought a little gift for you. It's quite a coincidence; I didn't expect you to share the hospital room with Annie's mom."Isolde was a gentle and kind-hearted woman. She politely thanked Denis and invited him to sit down. Joyce, on the other hand, seemed pleased and somewhat amused.After the initial greetings, the four people gathered around the small table for lunch, and the atmosphere was relatively warm.Joyce seemed to have a fondness for Annie, constantly asking about her job and her relationship status. She even inquired about Annie's feelings toward Denis. In the face of such enthusiastic curiosity, Annie responded somewhat hesitantly, an

After Finn had gone upstairs in a cold manner, Annie had no choice but to follow him, keeping a safe distance to avoid making him feel uncomfortable. Back in her room, Annie slowly began to tidy up her belongings, neatly stowing them away in the drawers. Since she had brought very few possessions, Annie quickly completed the task.Annie wasn't accustomed to idleness, so after sitting around for a while, she decided to go downstairs to find Keelin, who was busy in the kitchen."Hi, can I help you with anything?" Annie asked with a hint of boredom in her voice. Keelin had heard of Sofia's reputation as a haughty and disdainful fiancée, even going so far as to pour wine over the head of the maid in her home just because the food wasn't to her liking. Therefore, Keelin was initially wary when Annie approached. However, Annie's demeanor and warm smile quickly dispelled any reservations."Don't worry; I just want to help you prepare dinner. May I join in?" Annie spoke sincerely, her face r

"In the future, don't let Annie into my room. I don't like it."Keelin acknowledged it quietly and placed the meal in front of Finn, guiding him to the location of the food. Afterward, she didn't rush to leave but handed Finn a small tube of burn cream, her elderly voice gently rising."This is the burn cream Sofia asked me to bring for you. She said, Your hand got burned."With that, Keelin left the room, leaving Finn sitting in silence. He held the tube of cream in his hand, and his brow furrowed in deep contemplation, his thoughts a mystery.Finn had been furious in the evening, so naturally, Annie didn't dare to approach him anymore. Annie lived as if she were invisible, having dinner with Keelin and then returning to her room. She didn't even dare to look straight ahead when passing by Finn's room.Annie woke up early the next day, perhaps due to her habit of being busy in the past, so she wasn't used to idleness. Excessive free time made her feel somewhat out of place, so she st

As Annie reached the door, she coincidentally ran into Denis. They nodded at each other in greeting and walked inside together. Denis casually spoke first."Annie, you've been quite busy lately, haven't you? I heard from your mom that you're working a lot and don't have time to bring lunch to her every day like before."In the past, Annie used to cook or buy meals for Isolde for every meal. However, these past few days, due to moving to Finn's house, Sofia also requested that Annie spend more time with him, so she had to lie to Isolde, telling her that she had a busy job and had become a maid for a wealthy family, which required her to move in with them.Isolde's hospital bills were substantial every time, so Annie didn't inquire much about Annie's situation. She only reminded Annie to take care of herself and not to overwork."Yeah, I've been taking on more jobs lately to cover my mom's medical bills. Even though I could borrow from my friends, you know how it is, I still have to pay

The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée Chapter 23: Prey
After rushing outside, Annie instinctively let out a sigh of relief. The tightness in her chest from earlier made her acutely aware of how fast her heart was racing now.She could vaguely guess that Finn might be teasing her, but she didn't dare to be entirely sure. After all, Finn's usual demeanor was cold and aloof-not the type to enjoy playful banter like that....Later that night, Annie lay lazily on the sofa, watching TV. She stretched her legs languidly while nibbling on the fruit Keelin had prepared for her. Though it was already late, sleep evaded her. The show she was watching grew increasingly engaging, and every now and then, a soft, amused giggle escaped her lips.Just as she stretched with a yawn and prepared to stand, the faint sound of footsteps reached her ears from the staircase above. She looked up to see Finn descending slowly.Almost unconsciously, she stepped closer to help him. Finn, for his part, accepted her support with ease, leaning slightly against her with
The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée Chapter 22: You're a coward
The rekindling of Annie and Finn's relationship was a wonderful development. However, Finn's newfound closeness at times made Annie a bit withdrawn and hesitant. Having never been in a romantic relationship, let alone being physically close to a man, Annie struggled to adapt to Finn's sudden shift from being distant to gentle.For instance, this afternoon, Annie and Finn leisurely sat together on a swing, comfortably reclining on a soft cushion behind them. Annie lazily closed her eyes, savoring the sensation of each breeze caressing her ears and hair, as if blowing away the burdens of everyday life.They sat there well into the late afternoon, with the chilly autumn breeze bringing a shiver into the air. Annie wore a thin, long-sleeved dress, so her exposed legs felt a slight tremor in the cool air. She thought about getting up to fetch an additional blanket, and it seemed that Finn noticed her intention as he gracefully turned and gently urged her to remain seated.Subsequently, Fin

Annie and Taylor left the bubble tea shop, their excitement carrying over as they continued their shopping spree. Taylor seemed thrilled about spending money, eagerly buying whatever caught their eye to the point that when they left, most of the shopping bags in the car's trunk belonged to Taylor.After another tiring round of shopping, they both decided to head to a highly-rated nearby barbecue restaurant, enjoying a delightful dinner together. It appeared that this meeting had lightened Annie's mood considerably, as her smile remained a constant fixture.After arriving home, Annie changed into her cozy slippers, put away her shopping bags, cleaned up, and then happily made her way to the kitchen.She had not anticipated running into Finn at this moment, so she was a bit taken aback by his busy figure. Of course, Finn also noticed Annie, but he was so engrossed in his work that he didn't pay her any mind, continuing to play the role of a blind person carefully heating water to brew c
The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée Chapter 20: She's Not Sofia
As for Annie, after reuniting with Taylor, both of them happily went shopping at the city's largest mall. Taylor was a shopping enthusiast, so she swiftly accumulated several shopping bags from various high-end brands, with Taylor continuously pulling Annie into different stores.Annie maintained her frugal spending habits, only purchasing a few reasonably priced outfits from budget-friendly brands and buying a few warm clothing for her mother. Taylor also bought Annie some items from famous brands and a Dream necklace. Annie was embarrassed to accept the necklace after seeing its price tag."Don't be shy with me, Annie, we're close friends. Besides, you'll look beautiful wearing this necklace," Taylor generously swiped her card, satisfied with the silver necklace featuring a sparkling swan pendant around Annie's neck. The delicate chain accentuated Annie's slender neck and alluring collarbones, and the swan was adorned with numerous precious stones, making it bright and eye-catching.
The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée Chapter 19: Taylor
After a night of deep, restful sleep, Annie woke up feeling significantly better in the morning. She furrowed her brows, gazing at the familiar white ceiling. She reached out to sit in bed and suddenly noticed a figure sleeping soundly beside her."Is Sofia awake already? Do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere?" she inquired.Sofia, still groggy, shook her head, indicating that she was feeling okay, aside from a slight headache. Annie's condition had improved, and Keelin had helped her double-check her body temperature, putting Annie's mind at ease.Yesterday had been a frightening experience for her."Are you hungry? Let me make some porridge for you, okay? Recovering patients need to eat well to regain their strength," Keelin softly said, running her fingers through Annie's hair. Her gentle and caring tone made Annie suddenly miss her mother. Annie nodded with pursed lips and attempted to sit up, only to be gently assisted by Keelin."Brush your teeth, and I'll have some hot porri
The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée Chapter 18: Do You Like Him So Much?
This evening, a married couple visited the restaurant with their seven-year-old son, who was energetic and constantly crying, demanding ice cream, and no matter how much they tried to soothe him, he wouldn't quiet down. The helpless woman looked at Annie and called her, saying, "Could you please run to the nearby convenience store and buy my son an ice cream? I'm sorry, he's crying so much, and I don't know what else to do."At the restaurant, they need to do everything that customers require, and Annie found the task straightforward. She nodded in agreement. The mother seemed a little embarrassed about bothering her and handed Annie $50 to purchase the ice cream, telling her to keep the change.Annie nodded her thanks and hurriedly dashed outside. There was a large convenience store near their restaurant, about a seven-minute walk away. Annie quickly selected a few types of kid-friendly ice creams and paid for them. On her way back, the sky suddenly poured rain, drenching her smooth
The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée Chapter 17: Leave my home
Since returning home, Finn couldn't shake the need to pretend to be blind. He relied on Keelin to guide him back to his room, where he remained secluded. After Annie had turned down Denis's advances and also returned home, she noticed that Finn's room remained tightly shut, so she refrained from disturbing him.Annie took a shower, changed into her usual attire, and went downstairs to prepare dinner with Keelin. She then brought a portion up to Finn's room. She gently knocked on the door after some time, but Finn seemed to be in a foul mood, as he took a while to respond, offering only a cold reply for Annie to leave the food outside."What's wrong, Finn? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Annie's voice was tinged with concern as Finn's distant demeanor worried her. She probed with a sense of urgency. However, Finn didn't want to explain much and only said he was fine, urging Annie to leave early."In that case, if you need anything, remember to call me," Anni
The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée Chapter 16: Do You Like Her?
Mike gently nudged Finn, lowering his voice deliberately to add a hint of mystery. Finn remained impassive, leaning back before responding."Don't beat around the bush, Mike. But I've noticed that Sofia's personality has changed drastically recently as if she's become a completely different person.""We should investigate this later," Mike's eyes lit up as if he had just stumbled upon some intriguing information. He smirked while organizing the pill bottles on the table."Oh, is your interest piqued because of her? Has Sofia's recent demeanor made you like her more?""I'd advise you that if you like her, don't act distant; show more interest in her. Otherwise, if she falls for someone else in the future, you'll regret it, haha."Mike was a skilled doctor, and there was nothing to criticize about his professionalism, but he tended to talk a lot. Being someone who disliked noise, Finn quickly stood up before the conversation veered off track."Alright, I'm heading out."Mike shrugged in
