All Chapters of The Billionaire I Must Love: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Chapter 72Eden Pov Freida’s wide smile made me guilty as I stepped in the shop, she had taken off her apron and was in a midi length skirt and top, her platform boots added to her height.“At a point I thought you abandoned me for good.” She pulled me into a warm hug, one I could never get used to. “I’ve missed you too.” She rubbed my back and pulled back. “You look- tired.” She added as we sat on one of the empty tables, the place was empty and it was barely seven.“You’re closing up early today?” I asked. “Yeah, someone back in the house is sick and needs me.” She answered. “I didn’t expect to see you today, what’s the occasion and where’s Percy?”“Wel, I didn’t think I’ll need to come here myself but here I am.” I chuckled nervously and put my hands on my laps. “I just need a box of doughnuts, I’ll be leaving the city tomorrow for a meeting down in Asia, so I won’t be around for the next few days.”“Oh- that a bummer. Are you going alone?”“Likely, my plus one had an emergency

Chapter 74Eden Pov Don’t cry, Eden. Don’t f***ing cry Eden, you’re on the road and he’s watching you. It was difficult not to with everything he didn’t say to me back there. How stupid was I to think he would open up and tell me the reason why he had been avoiding me. It had to be because of Stella, he was seeing her behind my back. They were probably going to g at back together after this stupid contract ended and I was here falling in love with a man who had no single regard for my feelings. “Miss. Eden.” I snapped my head up and stared at the woman at the front desk.“That’s me.” The woman’s smile faltered as she saw my face. “Right, your package came in late last night-“ she paused and moved closer to me. “Are you okay? You look a little bit sad?”She could tell, bravo Eden you’re a walking sad person.“Yeah, I just- can I get the package?” The woman nodded and brought it to me. “Thank you.” I turned to leave when I walked into Greta and her son by her side, she hadn’t not

Chapter 76Eden povIt ended up with me at the back of the car with Percy, he insisted on getting me a new phone and I really needed to get back online. The ride was quiet as I stared out of the window, it was my first time here and nothing looked familiar, I had caught a whiff of places like this online. I sighed and leaned back at the leather seat, I needed to shower and have a long sleep, and my hair kept on disturbing me. “Here.” He handed me a scrunchie, it’s was pale pink and still in the packet. I frowned as I stared at the material in his hand, did he get it back at the airport? I accepted it, my hands brushed his lightly which had me pulling away immediately. I packed my hair in a ponytail and the car slowed to a stop.Percy got out of the car and I followed, he moved in fast strides that had me skipping to keep up with him. The doors parted and the gust of cold air rushed through my bare arms, I chewed on my buttom lips as I followed through the crowd to Percy who had alre

Chapter 78Eden Pov“I like you.” he repeated this time I didn't have to think that something was wrong with my hearing. “No you don't. You hate me.” I said in rejection and pushed back in my chair. It was difficult to look into his eyes. “People change-” he was clearly messing with me.“No, they don't. You can't just like someone you hate.”“Eden- I'm not joking here.” he objected. My mind was arching and his lie saddled on there. “Well I don't believe you.” I announced again with a fiercely. “I don't believe anything that you'll tell me right now Percy because you've always lied to me and then you want me to believe that you like me just when I caught you with your ex girlfriend which I remind you, you told me you'll never see if she even wanted to, and now you did-” I gasped trying to recover all my breath. There was a shallow hole in my chest as my eyes met with his, he had been watching me the entire time.“Eden-” he called slowly. “Breathe, your face is red.” I sighed and clo

Chapter 80Eden povThe flight back wasn’t as gruesome as the one we had when we left, we had sat together and I in his hands, we watched a movie together and I fell asleep afterwards. When I woke up, Percy wasn’t next to me, I adjusted myself on the seat and was ready to stand when he returned with a bottle of water. “You’re up.” He nestled beside me placing a quick kiss to the top of my head. “We’re almost at our destination.” He added.Now there was a problem, Percy confessed that he liked me and it left me with so many questions. One; he never said how much. Two; was I supposed to tell him about how I feel about him? It was among the numerous questions that lived in my head. He hasn’t said anything about me telling him anything in return but it’s been a bit difficult seeing that he openly confessed his feelings. When I felt soft lips against mine, I was brought back to reality. My eyes fluttered shot and his warm hands cupped my cheeks before pulling away.“You zoned out a bit.”
