All Chapters of Billionaire's Unwanted Contract Wife: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“N-no.” She was surprised by my question and then avoided it. “You are just very close to Sir Luke Davis.”Amusement tickled my stomach when I realized that's what she was talking about. “Really? I didn't realize. Is that how you see it?”The tiny little face nodded slowly. One incident she mentioned, was where she almost forgot how my face looked when I smiled. Before the wedding, he said I was a woman who was always cheap with a smile.“But when you knew Sir Mattheo, you never looked happy,” she said though her face was unable to look back at me. “But right now, you look so happy. It's so rare to see you smile without coercion. Which makes me happy for you.”“Happy? Sure,” I muttered, now reflecting on myself.What the girl said was not entirely wrong, but it was not entirely right either. I was happy with my marriage to Mattheo. Even when I knew it was just an arranged marriage to unite our companies, I was still happy because I could love him.Even though our marriage was just a t

Mattheo Sinclair's POVBelle's POV finishes hereI knew it. Ever since the incident at the apartment, Belle's view of me has changed.The severity of our marriage problems was another thing. No matter how hard, our problems were only related to the two of us as internal parties.However, since the incident in the apartment, I felt that there was another party interfering with our problems. The result was a misunderstanding. My view and her view were different. We talked while discussing unrelated things.I felt that the reason why Belle was angry with me, refusing my invitation to meet, was because she didn't know I had come that night.“I came that night, Belle,” I said not playing around. “Don't tell me, you also forgot about your call asking me to come help you immediately.”“What? How could I forget!?” She barked at my words. “How could you say such a thin

Slap!Her body slumped down from my arms. My hand grip loosened. A twinge of pain accompanied by a burning sensation on my cheek disrupts my focus on the body that has slipped from my dominance.“Don't you dare say that to Luke!” a small, high-pitched voice screeched in front of my face. “Kidnapping? I ran away from you! Why do I have to explain all this when you don't even care about me yourself? Seriously! I hate you, Mattheo! I hate you!”Hold on. What the hell is going on here?There was a bit of a gap in my head, between reality and hallucination. Before reality hit me hard, what I realized was that Belle had already put up her body to protect that bastard.With her body shaking, with her tears still falling. Like an angel protecting her favorite human.Him? Luke Davis? Protected by Belle, my wife who has been so obsessed with me?'No, no. I can't believe it.’“Belle, c

“No, I just-”Beep Beep Beep“There's a call.” Robert stopped what he was saying, turning to point at my new cell phone that was ringing very loudly.“I'll wait in my room,” was all he said. Without me asking, he managed to catch the clue and immediately gave me some privacy. I didn't mind him sitting here, next to me, while waiting for me to finish the call.Our conversation wasn't over yet, on top of that. I later found out that the reason Robert had left my side was because it was my mother who had called me.It wasn't long before the lightness I felt in my chest was replaced by a thick fog that made me breathe a long, tired sigh. Nothing good would come from calling Ragen, my mother.'Is it normal for a son to feel so overwhelmed by a cellular call from his mother? She could be worried about me.' was what I thought to myself. Even though it was very difficult to bring this hand to pick up the cell phone that had been ringing repeatedly.“Yes, mom? I'm here,” I said, picking up the

As if that wasn't enough, Robert stopped his hand movements when Natalia's insults were cut off. His gaze lingered on me with emphasis. Lying doesn't feel pressured. His mouth wasn't open but I could feel what he was saying now.I admit, I was cornered. Natalia with her shrill voice again protested to me watching my action of leaving her. I stepped into the kitchen, where I washed this face that was sprinkled with shame.'After getting the baby, you want to leave it.' Those words were sharper than any a rusty dagger. The magnet stuck to my heart, turning back the clock on how mean I was to Belle back then.My ego still says everything was a compulsion. My carelessness in letting my mother manipulate my desires back then. Belle was accused of having an affair with another man when I was struggling to maintain our company.My mother was so intent on Belle's family inheritance that she manipulated my feelings. None of this would have happened if I had listened to Belle instead of my moth
