All Chapters of The Billionaire I Married: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

“Kate, you’re back!” Tony exclaimed excitedly when he saw her at the doorway of his study.Kate’s eyes immediately went to his lips. There was no sign of lipstick stain there. He had probably wiped it off while Duchess was giving her unsolicited farewell speech.“What was she doing here?” Kate asked Tony coldly.His excitement dimmed instantly. “You mean Duchess? She came to drop off a birthday gift for Adonis.”“Wasn’t his birthday last week?” Kate asked suspiciously.“Yes. Both Duchess and her daughter, Venice, were out of town then. Venice has given him a gift already, so Duchess came with hers today.”“And where is it?” Kate inquired.Tony stepped aside and pointed at a small black box on his desk. The little box was tied up with a silver ribbon.“It’s the key to a Harley Davidson Cosmic Starship motorbike,” Tony expl

After seeing off Venice, Tony returned to the dining room to get his phone. He dialed Kate’s number but to his chagrin, she did not respond to his call. He dialed her number again, and as before, she didn’t respond.Tony put his phone in his pocket and left the dining room. As he passed the new painting on the wall, he made sure not to look at the ugly piece.If it wasn’t for Venice’s fragile mental health, he would have told her outright that the painting was an abomination that shouldn’t see the light of day.Nevertheless, the poor girl had managed to get through a three-month stay at a rehab facility without attempting to escape as she did before. It was commendable and this little creation from her was her thoughtful way of thanking him for convincing her to get help for her addiction.Tony decided that he would leave the painting on the wall for now. After a while, he would relegate it to the art room upstairs where it w

After that scary episode with Tony, he went back to being his normal self when he woke up. Despite Kate’s insistence, Tony refused to go to the hospital for a checkup. According to him, there was nothing to worry about.The day of the Wilcox party finally came. It was going to be an evening party at the Wilcox residence in Hyde Park.Kate had enlisted the help of her glam squad to get ready for the party. Her hair was curled and styled in a half-up-half-down style that cascaded around her shoulders. She’d chosen a silver dress with a deep V-neck. Tiny pearly tassels dangled around the entire length of the dress.She accessorized with diamond jewelry and had her makeup professionally done. The clingy dress molded her curves and baby bump tastefully.“My goodness! You look ravishing!” Tony gushed when he saw her.“Thank you,” Kate grinned happily.“You look like a movie star,” he continued deligh

Penelope was the first to recover from Kate’s unexpected presence.She smiled warmly at Kate and said, “Oh, it’s the pregnant wife. You’re quite a sight for sore eyes.”Kate ignored Penelope who was dressed like a party guest who time-traveled from the 1920s.“Dinner is about to be served in the ballroom,” Kate informed Tony in a level voice. “Are you coming?”“Of course,” he said immediately. He looked at Penelope and asked, “Won’t you join us?”“Maybe later,” she said and opened her satin purse to bring out a cigarette.Tony left Penelope on the balcony and followed Kate quietly. As they crossed the main hall, Tony held Kate’s arm to stop her.“Kate, I swear it wasn’t what it looked like,” Tony said in reference to the scene on the balcony.“Guess what? I don’t care,” Kate said coldly. &ldq

Things remained tense between Tony and Kate after what happened at the Wilcox party. He tried multiple times to assure Kate that there was nothing improper going on between him and Penelope, but she didn’t believe him.According to Tony, Penelope was not just Athena’s godmother, but she was one of Agne’s closest friends, even closer than Duchess.Despite his seemingly sincere explanations, Kate knew there was more to the story but Tony wasn’t ready to go that far. It made her wonder what he was hiding and who could tell her what she needed to know.With things still awkward between them, Kate decided to postpone the shopping trip she had initially planned to go on with Tony. That wasn’t an activity she wanted to do with the man who was keeping a secret from her.Kate wished there was someone she could pour out her heart to. Someone like Wendy. Oh, how she missed her best friend!Would this be a good time to forgive her
