All Chapters of Billionaire's second wife: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Thinking of his mother, Alden couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. His world was crumbling, and he wondered when he would truly grow up. Even now, he still made his mother worry, still relied on her protection—what a disgrace for a man. The more he thought about it, the more useless he felt.Distant memories slowly crept back, pulling Alden into a time of youthful recklessness.Back then, he was only twenty, living amid extravagant parties and drifting through countless women. One day, one of them suddenly showed up at Helen’s gate, boldly claiming she was pregnant—and that the child was his. Alden didn’t believe her. Neither did his family. He had always been careful, never allowing himself to get tangled in such messes. But his mother, Agatha, didn’t let the matter slide so easily.She kept a strict eye on the woman, even hiring people to investigate thoroughly. In the end, under the immense pressure from Agatha, the woman finally admitted she had fabricated the whole story in a

A month had passed since the incident between Alden and Emma. Everything seemed to have returned to normal—at least from the outside. But what about Alden? For him, nothing had settled. Inside, he was still in turmoil. The wound in his heart had yet to heal, and each passing day only pulled him deeper into his negative thoughts. He shut himself away inside the Helen family estate, cutting off all contact with the outside world. His family didn’t force him to change—they simply waited in silence, hoping that time would eventually ease his pain.But Alden’s withdrawal made things even harder for Emma. For the past month, she had tirelessly tried to reach him, hoping to rekindle what they once had, hoping for his forgiveness. Yet all her efforts were in vain. The Helen family guarded Alden too tightly, and since he never left the estate, Emma couldn’t get anywhere near him.As for Cara, today marked her discharge from the hospital after a month of treatment. She had gone through a difficu

Agatha chartered endlessly with Cara about everything in the house. As Cara listened and observed, she couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by the foolishness of the rich world. She silently reminded herself to recover quickly so that she could leave. Cara wasn’t sure she could comfortably live in such a foreign place. It felt as though this world wasn’t meant for her.At that moment, Agatha was giving Cara a tour of the house’s ground floor, introducing her to the staff. The number of servants was far too many for a family of just four. Cara had to make a real effort to remember their names and faces—people she would soon be living with. According to the doctors, it could take up to a year for Cara to fully recover.Agatha was explaining to the staff how to care for Cara, while Cara’s gaze wandered out to the garden. It was a beautiful garden with all sorts of flowers blooming in full glory. Cara had always loved flowers. Perhaps this would be her favorite part of the mansion."Isn't it b

Alden just wanted to rest, so he intended to return to his room. However, Dante and Lyna wouldn’t let him have peace. They insisted on pulling Alden into the living room to talk. The truth was, Dante didn’t care whether Alden stayed hidden in his room or not; his main goal was to see Cara. What he wanted most was some private time with her.But unlike Dante, Lyna was eager to see Alden again after a long time apart. She was in love with him, though her feelings had never been returned. When Alden married Emma, Lyna cursed that the marriage would fall apart quickly. And as she had hoped, Alden and Emma did get divorced. As soon as she heard the news, Lyna rushed back from abroad, hoping she could be by Alden’s side once more. Today, she came here with Dante, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity. Lyna believed that, in Alden’s moment of grief, she was the one who could soothe his heart.Now, in the living room, the atmosphere was heavy with silence. Alden, Dante, and Lyna all rem

Dante didn’t seem to care at all about her clear attempt to avoid him. He tilted his head, a dangerous smile playing on his lips."You’re truly beautiful. I’ve never seen a girl as stunning as you."His voice dripped with flattery, the words so insincere that Cara could hardly suppress a bitter laugh. But she held herself back, maintaining a calm expression."Thank you for the compliment. But I think you're going a bit too far," she said, trying to keep her tone polite, while reaching for a piece of cake, pretending to focus on it to avoid his predatory gaze.But he wouldn’t let up."I’m speaking from the heart," Dante emphasized, his voice slightly insistent. He was trying to earn her trust, using any trick he could. If possible, he would probably swear an oath right now."Yes, I’m very flattered," Cara responded indifferently, making an effort to keep her distance.Dealing with Dante was exhausting. She silently wished for someone to show up and rescue her from this situation. Normal
