All Chapters of Marrying a Disabled CEO in My Sister's Place: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“What?!” Alice gasped, her blood running cold.“A heart-warming family reunion, isn’t it?” Massimo laughed contemptuously “But oddly enough, this was positive for me. I learned from day one that I wasn't welcome by anyone in that house, other than my father. He had hopes that things would change as time went by, but my mother and I knew the truth. That same night, I begged her to we go back home, but... She was honest with me. She told me that, soon, my father would be the only family I would have, so I needed to be strong and not allow those people to destroy me. Four months later, she died.” He revealed, making Alice's eyes become heavy with tears “My father tried to help her, but it was too late. Tuberculosis led to several widespread infections, until she could no longer resist. As she told me would happen, all I had was my father.”

If one day someone had told Massimo that he would be supervising a children's party with the same care he used to oversee his company's projects, he would probably have laughed for hours. Yet, there he was, standing in the middle of his farm's garden, watching as all the workers finished assembling the toys, stocking the food carts, and decorating every inch of his property for Millicent's birthday.“Is that Millie’s new daddy?” a childish and frightened voice asked, and, from the corner of his eye, Massimo noticed three children who had already arrived for the party watching him, close to their mothers, whispering to each other “Why is he sitting on a chair that has wheels? Is it because he likes riding in cars?”“Can I have a nice chair like his, mommy?” another little girl asked, grabbing her mother's skirt.

“How are you, Petunia?”“No, Massimo!” Millie scolded him, causing Massimo to lower the blonde doll he was holding onto her bed, where several other toys were scattered at a tea party “Beth doesn't have such a deep voice.”“Uh... Not even if she was sick for today?” he tried to dodge “That way, after the tea party is over, we can take her to the hospital.”“Then we can have a tea party at the hospital!” she said, excitedly, but approached to hold Massimo’s arm and try to lift the doll close to his face “But you have to start by giving her a kiss and telling her that it will pass. It’s like mommy always does!”"Everything will be fine." Massimo said, touching his lips to the to

Even though his desire to continue standing in the middle of the darkness of his room was strong, Massimo still forced himself to go through his routine as if nothing was wrong. Bed, bathroom, wardrobe. Making the bed, cold water on his face to wake him up, and any clothes other than the boxers he'd been wearing to bed lately. Oh, and brush his teeth well, too. Millicent would always try to escape brushing her own teeth when she realized he hadn't done the same. Massimo had to be her example.Finally, with a long sigh, Massimo opened the door to his room, trying to lock inside not only that damned nightmare, but also the memories of all the disastrous birthdays he had ever had, since the day his mother had died.The ramp he had requested to be retrofitted to the main staircase was now ready, which meant he had much quicker access to the ground floor rooms than

“Very well, Alice. You only go so far.” Massimo grumbled, just as Alice pushed his chair through the door to Dr. Lewis's office “Ask Josiah to take you somewhere. Just be here in an hour and a half.”“Are you sure you want me to stay? I can help with something...” she offered, preparing to take off his coat, but Massimo pulled at his jacket as if she were trying to undress him completely.“Having a family member around is always good, Massimo.” Dr. Lewis said, looking more relaxed than Alice had ever seen him so far “Are you sure you don't want to...?”“What happened to medical confidentiality?” Massimo growled, now sounding really angry “I want to do this alone. Which part didn’t you understand?”
