All Chapters of Easy, Mr. Bigshot: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

Since my relationship with Jethro began, his days had been packed with work and wedding planning, leaving us little time to spend together. Confined to home due to my fear of running into Liam, I dared only to venture out if Jethro accompanied me."Sure, let's shop for baby stuff this weekend." Jethro readily agreed, his affection evident in his prompt response.Since we got together, Jethro's attitude toward me changed drastically. Everyone knew about our relationship now, so he was not bothered to hide it anymore. Basking in the warmth of his affectionate gaze, I felt elated. Being by his side would be the happiness of my lifetime.At night, nestled in Jethro’s arms, a contented smile graced my face as I drifted off to sleep.For the next two days, I counted down the minutes and seconds, eagerly awaiting the weekend. When it finally arrived, Jethro and I set out for the department store. As the local Mr. Bigshot, everyone treated him with great respect. Jethro was accustomed to s

Jethro's gaze was unnervingly calm, leaving me to grapple over his thoughts. I couldn’t tell if he believed my explanation, and this uncertainty heightened my anxiety.With my head bowed and my fingers nervously twisting the hem of my shirt, the silence stretched on. My anxiety swelled, haunted by the fear that he might be contemplating breaking up with me.Jethro then broke the silence, his voice carrying a note of frustration. "When will you start using your brain, Serena?"His question caught me off guard. Had I been thoughtless in some way?His cryptic words puzzled me, prompting me to look up at him. "What do you mean?" I ventured, seeking clarity from his mysterious comment.Jethro plopped down on the couch, his gaze cold as he said, "Can’t you see that the photo was deliberately taken from that angle? If it were a candid shot, would it have such high clarity and perfect positioning?"Realization dawned on me. "Are you suggesting Liam staged the whole thing?" The thought of

Jethro's fork halted mid-air, his eyes settling on me with a mixture of emotions before he resumed eating. His silence didn’t upset me. He had always been a man of few words and knowing that I held a place in his heart was enough for me.After dinner, as I lay in bed, my thoughts wandered to Doris' adamant stance that Anna was Jethro's ideal match. With our wedding a mere week away, Doris' disapproval weighed heavily on my mind. Despite the joy Jethro brought into my life, the lack of his family's blessings left a void in me.I shifted closer to Jethro, wrapping my arms around him and sighing softly."What's wrong?" His voice, deep and sensual, filled my ears."Do you ever regret choosing me?" I asked, raising my head to meet his eyes that twinkled in the moonlight."Why let such trivial worries keep you up at this hour?" Jethro frowned, his gaze tinged with disapproval."I feel guilty. If it wasn’t for me, your relationship with your mother wouldn’t be so strained. I’m afraid yo

The care Jethro had shown me lately was extraordinary. He cherished me like a precious gem, and those moments were undeniably the happiest of my life.Exiting the apartment complex, I was momentarily startled when a sleek black Mercedes came to an abrupt stop before me. I frowned briefly but didn't let it bother me as I was in a good mood. I started to walk around the car when the back window rolled down, revealing Doris' stern face.At the sight of her, my heart skipped a beat. Doris had always opposed the relationship between Jethro and me, and her unexpected visit was filled with ominous tidings. As the wedding draws closer, her anxiety must be escalating.Regardless of my unease, I approached her and greeted her respectfully, "Hello, Mrs. Doris."Ever since our first encounter, I had always approached Doris with courtesy. Alas, it was a gesture she never reciprocated.Doris’ eyes skimmed over me with a fleeting glance of disapproval, then refocused on my face. "Ms. Serena, we

"Why you!" Doris was taken aback by my resolute refusal, staring at me with a mix of anger and disbelief."Mrs. Doris, if your sole purpose today is to discuss this matter, then I must apologize. I can’t comply with your request. I will not leave Jethro regardless of what you say or do." I held her gaze. Being with Jethro was my only source of happiness now, and I wouldn’t let anything ruin it."You will do well to remember that I’m Jethro's mother, Ms. Serena! How do you think he will feel about your attitude toward me?" Doris said after recovering from her shock, her eyes glinting with anger."It's precisely because you’re his mother that I’ve shown patience. Yet, you’ve never given me even an ounce of respect," I countered in frustration.If Doris wasn’t Jethro's mother, I wouldn’t have strived so hard to gain her approval. But in her eyes, my efforts were insignificant compared to her expectations. It seemed like she valued benefits and opportunities over Jethro's happiness."
