TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

It broke her heart, as Andrew continued to cry in her arms. They were both in the lad's room, Andrew and her, on his bed. She was sitting with her back leaning against the wooden backrest of the bed. Andrew was in her arms, sitting on her laps with his legs sticking out on the side and his head resting on her bossom. His tiny arms were wrapped around her waist but not entirely, as his fingers were mostly grabbing onto the hem of her dress on the side at both ends. His body was shuddering, sniffling sounds escaping from his throat every now and then.Maddie's hand was placed on the lad's back, patting it soothingly. Her other hand was at the back of his head, running through his hair there.She didn't know how long they stayed like that or how long he cried but he eventually stilled in her arms. Not long after, she heard his steady breathing and knew that he had fallen asleep. A heavy sigh escaped her lips, heavy as the way her heart felt. She didn't immediately leave the lad, she wait

Maddie spent roughly thirty minutes in the hot bathtub. When she stepped out of the bathroom it was already a few minutes to 6am. She hurriedly applied some body lotion all over her body, dressed up and brushed her hair, and then she stepped out of her bedroom, hurrying off to Andrew's room to wake him up. When she stepped into Andrew's bedroom and switched on the light, she saw the lad coiled up in bed, a pained expression on his face and she even heard him groan, like he was in some sort of pain. She hurried towards him, her hand moving to touch his face. The moment her hand touched his face, panic flew into her eyes. "Oh my God! Andrew? Andrew?" Maddie called out the boy's name as she carried him into her arms while sitting on the bed. She placed his head to rest on her bosom. "Mummy?" Andrew's low voice rang out. His eyes remained tightly shut, the pained expression still playing on his face. Andrew was burning up! He had a fever. Maddie started to get out of the bed while ca

"Feed me mummy," Andrew demanded after Maddie had brought in the chicken soup she had made and set it all up on a bedside table, right beside Andrew's bed, along with a glass of the fresh juice she had made. "Sure Sweetie," Maddie said to Andrew, and then picked up the bowl, coming to sit beside him and scooping a spoon of the soup to blow on it before giving it to him. "Smells savory. Is there any soup left for Sweetie's daddy?" Jake muttered, imitating a child's voice. Both Maddie and Andrew turned to look at him, and then they both burst out laughing. "Well, there is still some soup left in a pot in the kitchen on the second floor," Maddie said when the bout of laughter ended. Jake smiled, and then started to rise. "I better go help myself then," he muttered, giving Maddie a wink before he started to make his way out of the room. Andrew had mentioned to Jake that Maddie usually made him snacks during his lunch break and that she was a really good cook. He had therefore always b

Mathew was pacing about his bedroom as he played the conversation he had overheard in the office earlier in his head. "A diamond ring? Are you planning on proposing to someone or something?" Mathew had overheard Micheal on the phone with someone as he made his way into their office with two cups of coffee in both his hands. He made his way to Micheal's table to place one of the cups, receiving a nod of gratitude from him, and then he made his way to his own table, taking his seat while taking a sip from his own cup. "What! Who?" Mathew's head turned to Micheal when he heard the excitement in his voice. It made him curious. "I know who it is!" Micheal spoke again, the excitement in his voice even more evident. Mathew's curiosity grew even more. "It is that hot lady from the picture your son sent to you, isn't it? You even took her to the ball as your date. So much for her not being in your class." When Micheal's words registered in Mathew's head, he flinched. He had noticed how

She was already drifting to sleep when he stepped into her room again, this time alone. She stirred awake, and tried to sit up as she saw that he was carrying a tray containing her breakfast. Even before he reached her, the aroma of Apple Oatmeal Porridge hit her nostrils. Damn! It had been years since she had this dish. Her father used to make it for her during her periods. Every damn time. She hadn't had it since she lost her father. There was a cup of smoothie beside the apple oatmeal porridge dish. She couldn't tell what was in it at first glance only that it was red and salivating. Jake dutifully placed the tray containing Maddie's breakfast on the bedside table, and then she brought the bedside table close to Maddie's bed. "Red Alert Smoothie," she finally figured out the smoothie, and then she smiled, her gaze on Jake turning loving. Both the dish and the smoothie were good for her current condition. She had noticed this about Jake, his attentiveness and thoughtfulness. Even
