All Chapters of The Billionaire & His Maid: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The words hung in the air between them, and for a long moment, Christian said nothing. His gaze remained steady, but there was a flicker of something in his eyes—something Olivia couldn’t quite place. “Olivia, I told you from the beginning not to expect more.”“I know!” she said, her voice trembling. “But I can’t help but feel how I feel. You’re not the only one affected by this Christian. I’m trying to hold on, but it’s getting harder every day. And I can’t just turn off my feelings like a light switch.”Christian sighed, running a hand through his hair. “This is exactly why I wanted to keep things simple, Olivia. I can’t give you what you want.”“What I want is to feel like I matter,” she said quietly. “Like I’m more than just a pawn in your business deal. Like I’m more than just Eunice’s nanny.”“You do matter,” Christian said, his voice softer now. “But I can’t give you more than that. My focus has always been on the company, on protecting Eunice. I can’t afford to be distracted b

Chapter 44Olivia looked at the dark screen of her phone and smiled. "Christian," she called. He turned to face her.“Ruth called and she said she has a big surprise for me, but the way she said it, it felt like she wasn’t referring to only me. She's coming over this evening to visit”, she informed him, searching for his reaction to the mention of Ruth’s name.Christian looked at Olivia with a wry look on his face. His interaction with Ruth from the previous afternoon flashed through his head and he groaned. “Whatever. You two can do whatever you want," he said coldly.Soon after, they heard a buzz from his phone. It was Josh."Beautiful!" Christian exclaimed. “Josh said he'd come over in the evening too. We’re leaving the office together," he continued.Later that evening, the Mason mansion was alive with quiet anticipation. The soft hum of the air conditioning and the occasional clinking of dishes in the kitchen filled the air as Olivia paced restlessly in the living room, waiting

Chapter 46Olivia’s fingers tightened around the edge of the counter as Christian lingered in the doorway, keeping her back to him trying to feign focus on the dishes in front of her but her mind raced, trying to brace for whatever was coming next. She had no desire to talk to him, not after what transpired the night before. The hurt of his distrust still hung heavy between them, and Olivia wasn’t ready to face it—at least not now, not when Eunice was so blissfully unaware of the tension in the room.“Morning, Uncle Christian!” Eunice’s cheerful voice cut through the icy silence, her face lighting up as she waved her fork in his direction.Christian walked over to Eunice, ruffling her hair. “How’s my little princess this morning?”“Good! Olivia made some chicken risotto," she replied happily.“Lucky you,” Christian said with a strained smile. His eyes flickered toward Olivia again, but she continued to avoid him.“You want some?" Eunice asked again, pushing her plate towards Christia

Chapter 48Can you not give me that ass reason?" Josh interrupted Christian, slamming his hand on the table. “Is there anything wrong?" Ruth’s agitated voice echoed from the living room.“There’s nothing for you to worry about, baby. We’re just doing some manly garlic crushing here”, Josh quickly lied to prevent her from coming into the kitchen.“If you say so," she replied.“As I was saying, don't give me that silly excuse. Eunice clearly loves Olivia, and, moreover, didn’t you remember how delighted she was at your wedding?" Josh continued, reducing his voice a bit.Christian narrowed his eyes at Josh, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. “You don’t understand, Josh. It’s not just about Eunice. There’s more at stake here, and I can’t just ignore it. It’s about Olivia, too. She’s dealing with a lot right now.”Josh raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “What do you mean? Is it about her feelings for you? Because from what I can see, there’s something deeper going on between you two.”Ch

Chapter 50All the adults froze at Eunice’s innocent question, and exchanged glances with each other and burst into laughter.“Eunice darling, Uncle Christian and Olivia are not steaming anything, okay? Ruth was just joking with them”, Josh said as he lifted her into his arms.“Oh! I thought they were going to make something again”, Eunice said in a downcast voice. Everyone sat at the dining table and they had a hearty meal together, chatting through out. Josh and Ruth did most of the talking, while Christian responded in agreement, while Eunice threw in some funny remarks occasionally.While all this was going on, Olivia couldn’t stop her mind from trailing back to Christian’s words from before. ‘Taking their relationship to the next step’, what could that mean? And he’d asked her to come meet him in his room at night. Were they going to do what she thinks they would?“Earth to Olivia!” Ruth shouted at her. “What were you thinking about so much that you forgot you had guests at your
