Married To My Ex-Fiance's Billionaire Uncle のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

(Emily’s POV)."Do you want to come or stay here?" I looked around. Even in the car, it was scary to see the crowd as if I were alone. I figured there was no harm in going with Mike, especially since he said it would only be for a short time and his friend was trustworthy."I'm coming with you."He got out and opened the door for me. He never forgot my hand to be held by him. His treatment so far has been perfect, just like a man a woman would want.But his confession just now ... was beyond my expectations. Honestly, my heart didn't even stop beating fast because of it, making me so nervous when I was around him.His hand never left mine. Even when waiting for his friend, he pulled out a chair for me to sit on while he stood by my side since we were inside the bar.The music was blaring and I tried to enjoy myself even though it wasn't my taste. At least I was not far away from him rather than in the car by myself."Hey, Mike!" A man's greeting voice sounded behind me. I turned my

(Emily’s POV).“Oh ... what's going to happen?” I asked him.Even though he sounded so obviously pouncing on me with his words, and even though I probably knew what he meant, I chose to respond.Every now and then I would look at him and he would just stand there with his jaw twitching as if he was holding something inside.I also tried to act casual and didn't say anything when he ignored me. I thought I might have caused him trouble by holding something inside him that I couldn't help.When the car pulled into my driveway, we got out together and I looked at him while letting out my breath. “Want to visit for a while? Maybe some tea will make you feel better?” I asked him.He raised one eyebrow and nodded. We went inside the house and I was surprised when the maid opened the door without me opening it myself with my spare key. I thought they'd come back after cleaning the house, but they didn't. And I guess I didn't need to ask Mike because I didn't want to make him have to explain

(Emily’s POV).“Is it too quick to fall in love with someone new?” I asked as I was thinking about my feelings toward Mike, my husband.“It’s not bad, girl. You have the right to have those feelings. I won’t ask you who he is, but you don’t have to feel sorry to fall for him.”I sighed after hearing what Barnie said. He supported me in feeling this although he didn’t know who the man I was referring to was.“Thank you, Barnie. You know, you are a friend who always supports me.”“You know I will always support you. Although you may make mistakes, I will always be behind your back to support you.”I nodded and drank shot per shot of white wine until I felt a bit dizzy but I still felt sober. I also tried to pause the drink because I wanted to feel this moment for a while after a long time I didn’t use my single time like this.I also let Barnie do his job and left me alone. Then I checked my phone and got so many texts and missed calls that I just knew.“Oh, shit,” I cursed. It was Mik

(Emily’s POV).“This is impossible!”I had sat in the dimly lit bathroom, my heart racing as I stared at the pregnancy test. Two pink lines.“Am I really pregnant?!”The reality of it all had felt like a punch in the stomach. My mind raced with confusion and fear.Mike, my husband, had always been a distant figure in my life. Our arrangement had been supposed to be simple: a temporary marriage. He was just my hero to save my company.Yet, there I was, staring at the evidence of a life growing inside me, a life that threatened to ruin everything I had carefully planned.With trembling hands, I returned the test to its box and put it in a drawer, hoping it would disappear if I didn't look at it.I knew that Mike would never want a child. Our marriage was just a formality, a legal convenience, and I was sure that the prospect of a family was as far from his mind as it was from mine.The decision to abort the pregnancy had felt like the only viable option. I couldn't bear the thought of s

(Emily’s POV).“Hello, Miss Emily. Your father can go home; it was good news for you.”My heart raced because the call from the hospital was the best news I had ever waited for. After months of sleepless nights and endless worry, the news I had been waiting for finally came. My father had regained consciousness. His recovery might take some time, but the fact that he was coming home was enough to make me feel like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders.As soon as I heard that, I dialed Mike's number. He picked up after the second ring, his voice filled with warmth.“Hello, Love. What's up?”I couldn't hide my smile because of the way he called me now. We were finally truly united because of our mutual feelings of love for each other.“Mike, my dad can go home now. I'm so happy about it!” I said with a smile and tears in my eyes.“That’s wonderful news, Love!” he said, his genuine happiness evident even over the phone. “Congratulations!”I could hear the smile in hi
