All Chapters of My Contract Marriage : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“How are you feeling?” Sebastian asked both of his hands fixed in his pocket as he stared down at Mr. Connell, who seemed to be lost in thoughts and unaware of the environment. The old man jolts slightly but as soon as he noticed that it was Sebastian, he was relaxed again. “The only time I ever see you is in the hospital.” “I’m getting better,” The old man sat up in the bed. “My old age is catching up to me.” “I don’t think that’s the case,” Sebastian sighed running his hands into his night-black hair, he placed the roses he bought into the vase and disposed of the dead flowers. “Kayden really is bad for your health, Mr. Connell you might not be my father but you don’t deserve to be treated like this.” “I told you to call me father.” He said with a small frown. “It's not just Kayden that makes me fall into shock. You do too.” “That’s why I try to avoid coming over unless it’s important.” He said bluntly and he strolled over to the vacant chair in the room. “But you should stop w

“Why did you request to see me?” Mr. Andrews asked with an uninterested expression on his face, his arms were folded across his chest. He was repeatedly taping his feet on the polished floor and he was constantly glancing at the golden wrist watch strapped to his right wrist, as if to tell them he had other important places to be so they should hurry up with whatever they are about to discuss. “I am going to be late if you keep being silent.” Crystal glanced at Paige who had an idiotic smile slapped on her face, she was looking as optimistic as ever; Crystal closed her eyes in frustration, hoping Paige would just get this over with. “I am sorry that we are taking your time,” She started with an uneasy smile on her face. “I know you have a lot of places to be since working hours is closed al-"He interrupted her sharply. “I was hoping we can get this over with, I have wasted ten minutes of my off hours, and you are not even talking to me.” He gets up and picked up his dark coat f

Crystal got back into the car with Kayden, the poor driver; Akeem had been waiting there for at least forty-five minutes, they stayed a while before they could get to see Doctor Miller and they stayed for a while after Doctor Miller had attended to her; and Kayden also stayed back for some few minutes to discuss with him. “Akeem take us to the pharmacy, there is one close to the hospital.” He announced he took off his jacket; he looked very tired, if he is this tired, then why he is stressing himself even more? “You better use the pills as it is prescribed.” “You really didn’t have to do this.” She muttered to herself and he glanced in her direction. “I don’t know what to think when you do something like this.” “I am not asking you to feel anything.” He said closing his eyes. “Going on one trip to the hospital doesn’t mean anything.” “You don’t hate me anymore? Aren’t you someone who should be excited over my death?” She asked curiously, she was even more curious than before, she k

“Come back to your seat,” He ordered once more and Crystal buried her head in her palms, she let out a frustrated sigh before walking back towards him, she sat on the farthest sofa away from him.“Will you then tell me why you suddenly start to care so much?” She asked curiously but received no answer from him; he picked up his phone and was scrolling through it like she wasn’t there. “Are you going to ignore me?”“Crystal just sit quietly, eat, and leave when you are done.” He advised without breaking eye contact from his phone. “As for the reason why I am doing this, I already told you, it would be a problem if you died as my wife. You might not know this, but I have a huge sense of responsibility, I like all my things in good condition.” She was about to say something when they heard a knock on the door, and almost immediately Laurie came in with some boxes, she was surprised to see Crystal in Kayden’s office, she usually never visits the office during work hours, Crystal had a

"Mrs. Smith!”Crystal stopped in her tracks; she turned back to Laurie who seemed to have been following her for quite sometimes now. She had been hearing the voice in the distance, but she was too deep in thoughts to realize they were calling for her. Crystal had an unsure look on her face as Laurie walked towards her; she wondered why Laurie was calling her. “Mrs. Smith.” Her breathing was labored, she bent slightly to hold her knees, and her chest was heaving dangerously. “Laurie, are you okay?”She asked her eyes narrowing in concern, “I am sorry I didn’t notice you were calling me.”“No, its okay, you have been so absent minded recently.” She said as she straightened her back. “Are you okay?” “Yes, I am, is anything the problem?” She asked curiously as she proceeded to walk back towards her office, Laurie looked out vacantly to be sure no one was in sight, it has been two days since the incident in Kayden’s office and ever since then she hadn’t gotten the opportunity to tal
