All Chapters of The Crippled Billionaire's Darling Wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Living with the Rothschilds took some time for Hailey to adjust to. She no longer had to wake up early or do chores. She was pampered and the maids treated her kindly. Mika slept in an adjoining room, ready to assist Hailey if needed at night, although such instances were rare. Nolan made sure to speak to her at least once a day, and that brought her contentment. "Mika!" Hailey called one day while she was in the garden, enjoying the delightful scent of the flowers. Rows upon rows of them stretched out before her, some with complicated names that Mika had once told her, but she had long forgotten. After spending two weeks with the Rothschilds, Hailey had come to understand that things were never simple. "I'm in the garden!" Hailey responded, counting the flowers she had plucked from the abundant bunches. She had found the prettiest vase in the attic and wanted to decorate her room with some flowers. Her room was already beautiful, but flowers symbolized beauty and life. Mika came run

The drive to the hospital provided ample time for Nolan to brief Hailey on the details she needed to know about the patriarch they were about to visit. Initially tempted to write down the information, Hailey resisted the urge to avoid appearing foolish. Instead, she discreetly recorded the details on her phone, later listening to the instructions through her earphones to reinforce her understanding. Although the repeated information caused her head to ache, Nolan's soothing voice had an underlying ominous tone that captured her attention. Sitting so close to her, Nolan's warm breath on her shoulders made her self-conscious. A wave of discomfort washed over her, questioning whether she needed to maintain physical contact with him since they were not yet married. She shifted slightly, testing his awareness, and he instinctively pressed down on her palm. Unintentionally pouting, she was oblivious to how childish it made her appear. Placing his phone on the seat, Nolan scrutinized her sul

Hailey's response was a composed silence, refusing to engage with the petty insults. She remained focused on her objective and waited for Nolan, not allowing herself to be affected by the girls' taunting remarks. As Nolan approached, he positioned his wheelchair beside Hailey, signaling his presence and support. Hailey stood up, wearing a tight smile, ready to face the situation. Nolan coughed to draw Hailey's attention and remind her of her role. Hailey immediately stepped forward, greeting Master Rothschild with a polite tone. "Hello, grandfather. I have heard a lot about you." Master Rothschild's gaze remained stern and unyielding. His hawk-like eyes scrutinized Hailey, making her feel uneasy. It was clear where Nolan inherited his attitude from. Looking back at Nolan, Master Rothschild questioned, "Why have you brought her here?" "To pay her respects, grandfather," Nolan explained. Master Rothschild's gaze shifted back to Hailey, his scrutinizing gaze conveying his skepticism

Hailey and Nolan exited the hospital and walked towards the car. Tino, who was already there, quickly opened the car door for them, assisting Nolan inside. "Are you okay?" Nolan asked as they settled into their seats. Hailey nodded. "Yes, thank you." After that, the duo remained silent as the car slowly made its way towards the mansion. Along the way, Hailey recalled her appointment with Lynn and requested to be dropped off at her office. Nolan watched her leave thoughtfully, aware of the purpose behind their meeting. However, he wasn't concerned, as Hailey knew the terms of their cooperation. She wouldn't foolishly disclose anything to a third party. Upon arriving at the office building, Hailey approached the receptionist's counter and spoke up, "Hello, I would like to see Ms. Rosalinda Pepple." The receptionist, a young woman of average height with wavy brunette hair, smiled warmly at Hailey. "Hello. Do you have an appointment with her?" Hailey furrowed her brows; they hadn't

Bernard froze as he heard the man's angry shout from the other end of the line, and he glanced at his wife, who appeared equally mortified. "It's not what you think, Mr. Rothschild," Bernard quickly interjected, his flustered demeanor evident. "I can explain..." "You made me look like a fool in front of that insolent brat," Max reprimanded, still clearly annoyed. "I apologize. In reality, we haven't violated our agreement," Bernard began, attempting to clarify the situation. "How?" Max inquired. "Hailey is our eldest daughter," Bernard explained. "The agreement with your family was for the first daughter, and Cassidy is the second daughter. We didn't want you to think we were going back on our word. Honestly, we did it for your sake." Max remained silent for a moment, then sighed and asked wearily, "So, how reliable is this girl Hailey? Will she follow through with our agreement?" Bernard chuckled immediately, nodding vigorously. "Yes, sir. She will." "She better," Max warned.
