All Chapters of Easy, Mr. Bigshot: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

The moment I heard the doorknob turn, I braced myself to face whoever was on the other side. The second the door opened, I swung with all my strength, aiming for a headshot before making a quick escape.However, my attempt at self-defense was instantly thwarted. Before the glass could even make contact, the intruder firmly grasped my wrist. The glass tumbled from my grasp and shattered on the floor. A sharp pain shot through my wrist, drawing a gasp from me."Serena, it’s me!"A man’s voice startled me, and I struggled to break free. But when I recognized it, I turned to look at the person in shock. Seeing Jethro standing there, my fear turned to disbelief."Jethro? What are you doing here?" His unexpected appearance was the last thing I’d anticipated."Why are you hiding behind the door in the middle of the night? Were you planning to murder your future husband?" Jethro quipped, eyeing the broken glass disapprovingly.His joking remark about “murdering your future husband” made

Upon hearing my question, Jethro looked into my eyes with a calmness that hid any underlying emotions. I held my breath, waiting for his answer."The baby is only half the reason," he revealed.This caught me off guard. I had assumed the baby was the sole reason for his change of heart."And the other half?" I asked, staring back into his eyes, nervous and somehow expectant."It’s because of you." His voice was steady, but the depth of meaning in his words set my heart fluttering.To think that I was a significant reason for his choice…A wave of elation washed over me as my eyes lit up. "Jethro, I..."Words chose that moment to fail me though. I was just overwhelmed by joy and surprise at his admission.It took me a long time to calm down. As I tried to process my feelings, Jethro gently quieted me with a kiss. When his lips met mine, my mind went blank. His scent filled my senses, and for the first time, I felt truly at peace. My usual insecurities vanished, replaced by the c

Alone in the living room, I found myself staring at today's ultrasound image. Although it was early in the pregnancy, the photo filled me with indescribable joy.My reverie was interrupted by the doorbell. With a puzzled frown, I went to see who it was. Opening the door, I was momentarily stunned to see who stood there. It was Jethro's mother, and seeing her suddenly appear here, my heart skipped a beat as a sense of foreboding spread through me."Mrs. Doris," I finally managed to say after a long pause, forcing out a smile and speaking politely."Ms. Serena, do you intend to have me stand at the door while we talk?" Doris' tone was cool and detached, implying her thinly veiled impatience.Hearing this, I hastily moved out of the way and respectfully said, “Please, come in and have a seat."Doris was Jethro's mother. After I married Jethro, she’d be my mother-in-law. I knew I should be keen on making a good impression.After frowning at me, she walked past me into the living room

Jethro paused at my question, his eyes searching mine for answers."Did she come to see you?"Though he phrased it as a question, there was certainty in his voice. Nothing could escape his discerning eyes.My silence spoke volumes, confirming his suspicion. Seeing my reaction, Jethro’s handsome face darkened, and I could tell he was agitated. He was about to respond when his phone interrupted us. Pulling it out of his pocket and seeing it was his mother calling, his expression grew even grimmer.Doris’ call likely related to her disapproval of our relationship, adding to my unease. I felt nervous, unsure of what decision he would make. I studied Jethro, my hands entwined tightly as I waited anxiously for him to answer the call.Jethro answered the call with a controlled voice. "Yes, Mom?" His tone was neutral, masking his emotions."Come home. We need to talk about Serena." Doris’ sharp demand came from the other end.Hearing his mother's commanding tone, Jethro’s expression sou

"So much time has passed, Liam. There’s no need for your apology, and I don’t need it either. Also, don't contact me ever again."I delivered these words with a finality, then promptly ended the call. Liam no longer stirred any emotion within me. His betrayal had hurt deeply, making me feel like I couldn’t go on. But looking back, I was grateful for it. Without that betrayal, I wouldn't have crossed paths with Jethro.I once thought Liam was the love of my life, but I couldn't have been more mistaken. Only in Jethro's embrace had I discovered the meaning of true love. Though Liam no longer pulled at my heartstrings, receiving his call still soured my mood. He was, after all, the person who had hurt me most.I spent the rest of the day cooped up at home. Feeling suffocated, I decided I needed a change of scenery and made plans to go shopping with Summer.After arranging to meet up, I walked down my apartment building only to be confronted with the last person I expected to see—Liam.
