All Chapters of The Billionaire Rejected Me : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 30I heard a knock outside the guestroom followed by an unfamiliar girl's voice."Ma'am? Sir Lazarus is asking for you downstairs.""I'll be right there," my plain voice was loud enough to be heard outside. I didn't even have time to open the door for the maid because I was only wearing a white towel around my body.I was looking for something to wear now that our suitcase had been delivered. I was the one who arranged Zon's clothes in his room. The child even asked where I sleep because he wanted to sleep beside me. He used to sleep in my room whenever he got scared before our house in the subdivision burned down.My hair was wet and I hadn't dried it. Drops of fresh cold water were streaming from the squares of my shoulders to the tips of my fingers.Because I was in a hurry, I didn't bother to dry myself. I quickly wrapped the towel around me and put on the expensive slippers outside the bathroom to avoid slipping.I didn't know what to wear. It felt like my simple home clo

Chapter 32The arrival of Laki and Ruin was highly anticipated. The sun was setting, casting a twilight glow, and we were all dressed in formal attire. Impatience was palpable, everyone seemed weary from waiting.The two of them were also dressed to impress, having received a call from Noah that they were on their way. Yet, they still hadn't arrived.Law stood silently beside Manang Letecia. Surprisingly, even the men were unusually quiet. Their behavior had shifted since they stepped foot in the mansion.Back at the bar, they never ran out of things to talk about, even if they were several meters apart. Now, lined up beside Law, I couldn't hear a peep from them. They would exchange glances, trying hard not to smile.It's really different when we're in the presence of the older Cavanaughs. Maybe that's why Lazarus took over Cavanaugh Finance Corp., since Law was a lawyer. He wasn't into the family business. He held the law of this mansion in his hands."Momma! Uncle Laki's car!" Zon p

Chapter 34It's warm and bright here by the pool. My cousins were having fun and decided to swim again after my son requested to swim. He doesn't know how to swim yet, but he's being guided by his uncles. He's just five years old, his birthday is coming up soon, but even so, I don't allow him to swim in the pool alone. I only agreed this time because his uncles are here.Law and Lazarus didn't join. Law is probably inside the private room, and Lazarus is pretending to sit beside me. There are wooden chairs here, but they have cushions to make them more comfortable. He's wearing a simple white t-shirt that looks refreshing on him with black shorts.Both of us are watching Luzon and his uncles playing in the pool. My son is floating in the pool because of the ring-shaped float around him, like a life buoy.Since I woke up this morning in Lazarus' room, he hasn't left my side."Baby boy, do you see Uncle Ruin's abs? Your Tito Laki's abs were embarrassed when the ladies saw this," Ruin st

Chapter 36I know what to do now. I should have known this before. I should have hidden Luzon from his father if only I knew this would happen. But I was confident that Lazarus didn't care about Luzon, so why should I hide my son? I was wrong because he cares for Luzon now, and it's too late to hide him.They're just too much. I could endure the pain when I gave birth to my son, but this doesn't count. I want this to end.I'll go to the so-called dinner. I won't back down from this. I was so glad that Ysa Cavanaugh wanted me to stay away from Lazarus. But I'm still nervous because they might take my son.The day passed, and now the dinner is taking place in a nearby restaurant. Of all the people in this mansion, only Ms. Lauren, Manang Letecia, and the servants treat me with kindness.I know the people who will attend this dinner. Zacharias Cavanaugh, Lazarus, Francesca, and her parents, and then me. I won't be afraid to face them because I've had enough of their cheap attitude.They

Chapter 38We found Luzon still awake, with Saul asleep beside him. Saul woke up when he heard Lazarus' voice and they talked outside. We retrieved Luzon's belongings from his room, and I packed them along with my things.I didn't bother changing our clothes, both for myself and my son. I simply put a black hoodie on him to keep him warm. The night was deepening, and the air was getting colder. The entire mansion was asleep, except for the guards at the gate."Come here, son," Lazarus called to our child as he entered the room. Zon immediately approached him, wanting to be carried. Lazarus eyed my dress with disapproval. "Calista, we'll be escorted to the bus terminal by Saul. You should change your clothes.""Why don't we use your car instead?" I asked, but I picked out a pair of jeans and a hoodie from my packed belongings."It's not my car. It's my father's. I left my car at the parking lot of my condo building," he answered, his tone calm but without much respect, even when addres
