All Chapters of Easy, Mr. Bigshot: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

Jethro studied my expression, his brow furrowing in confusion before he gently asked, "You seem distressed. Is everything okay?"Met with his concern, I was unsure of how to respond to his question. I debated whether to tell Jethro about the conversation I had with Doris. I didn’t want to burden him with worries."It’s nothing. Probably just the heat making me feel uncomfortable. I’ll be fine after some rest," I answered, attempting a smile to ease his worry.I hoped he would accept this light explanation, but he saw through it. "That doesn't convince me one bit. What’s really bothering you?"After much hesitation, I decided honesty was the best approach. I didn’t want any secrets between us that might cause misunderstandings. "Umm... Your mom came to see me today."Jethro's expression immediately turned somber, his demeanor shifting to one of concern. It was unclear if he was upset with her for interfering or with me for tattling. My heart raced with anxiety. He remained quiet fo

Sean looked at me with surprise. "Thank you, Rina."This was the first time my brother had ever thanked me.The conversation then shifted, and Mom broached a delicate subject. "Rina, you and Jethro are about to get married. In our village, it's customary for the groom to present a dowry. Have you discussed this with Jethro?"I knew about the custom of dowries in rural marriages, but I didn’t want such traditional practices to dictate my relationship with Jethro. Our union was about love, not about financial transactions.I frowned slightly, not responding to Mom’s question. The truth was that I had never brought up the topic of dowry with Jethro and had no intention of asking him for one. Of course, Jethro could easily afford it, but asking for money from the groom felt like I was selling myself, and I despised feeling that way.Mom’s gaze intensified as she waited for my response. "Haven’t you talked to Jethro about this? You should know that this is a very important custom." Her

"Why are you angry then?" Seeing me dismiss his guess, Jethro grew more puzzled. He had no idea that I had caught him having dinner with Anna.I looked into his eyes. My mouth opened to ask the burning questions in my mind, but the words wouldn't come out. I had no idea where my courage had gone."Serena, if you have something to say, just speak up." Jethro’s expression grew dark, visibly getting impatient."Who were you with tonight?"The words finally escaped me. I needed the truth, no matter the cost to our relationship. Though just an ordinary woman, I couldn't tolerate deceit in my life.Jethro paused, taken aback by my question. He didn't answer right away, and his expression grew colder. "Why are you suddenly asking me this? What do you know?" His response, laced with a hint of wariness, suggested he had guessed my suspicions."Just answer my question," I said, bypassing his question. I was waiting for him to tell me the truth, hoping for no secrets between us.Caught off

I might not have felt any romantic feelings for Mason, but it didn't discount the platonic feelings I had for him. I certainly didn’t want our friendship to die. As Mason smiled, I could tell my answer relieved him. He had always been very easy on the eyes, but a smile like that made him look even more handsome. I liked seeing him smile, but it ultimately didn't reach his eyes. The essence of our relationship had changed. We had become gingerly with each other. The elevator doors finally opened. I stepped out first, knowing that the crowd would dispel the awkwardness I felt around him. "Let's go," Mason said and tugged me toward the ultrasound room. "Wait, I haven't paid or taken my appointment number.” "You don't need any of that while I'm around."A nurse watched our interaction, wide-eyed, before regaining her composure and smiling.Mason let me go and ordered, "Please pen her in first.""Right away," the nurse replied and ushered me to a room. I was a little against

"Why are you so protective of her, Mason? Is it because she fucked you before or what?!" Anna snarled, her rage so ridiculously blazing that she even managed to keep up with her umbrage against me.Maybe I should’ve slapped her even harder. The Lord knew that this bitch needed more than one lesson."Watch your mouth, Anna! I've been controlling myself since you showed up, so you better not make me snap!" I returned fire. "You make it sound as if I've done something wrong. But no! You're just using bluster to cover up your guilt because I found you trying to get into Mason's pants! You two have screwed each other before, haven’t you?!" she retorted smugly as if she had found something to her advantage. "I said stop challenging me, Anna! You have no idea how close you are to being slapped again!" "How close am I? You're nothing without these men you spread your legs for. You're nothing compared to me. I just wish I knew what black magic you used to fool these two into becoming yo
