Semua Bab Billionaire's Pregnant Ex-wife : Bab 71 - Bab 80

A YEAR LATER“Ladies and gentlemen, let us all welcome our dearest Summa Cum Laude, Lilibeth Phoenix, for her valedictory address!”A round of applause reverberated inside the huge auditorium. Everyone rose from their seats to acknowledge my presence. With the grace of a queen, I rose from my seat and faced the cheering crowd with a smile. With the same grace I showed earlier, I walked down the carpeted aisle, and a thousand eyes followed my every move. Cameras flashed in my direction, almost blinding me. I walked until I reached the stage and stood on the podium with my chin held high to deliver the speech I had memorized by heart. Just a year ago, I was nothing. As others put it, I was an insignificant speck of dust with no bright future waiting for me. However, I proved them wrong.I smiled, proud of the gold medals hanging around my neck, proof of how hard I had worked during those months, juggling my duties at school and work while having a delicate pregnancy. All my sacrifice

A leopard never changes its spots. That's my other way of saying a playboy will always remain a playboy, I thought to myself as I tore my gaze from the TV screen just as the commercial ended. Finishing my cup of coffee, I leaned back in my seat. I tried to sleep, but after an hour of trying, I gave up and waited for the luxury private helicopter to land.When my private luxury helicopter landed at the airport, the splendid summer morning sky greeted my eyes as I got out. The airport still looked exactly like the last time I saw it. Grey Gabriel Bradford owns this place now, and I doubt it will ever look the same once he's done with it.While I was waiting for my car to arrive, I pulled my phone from my handbag and dialed Sophia's number. “I just arrived, Mom. How is Isabelle doing? I was wondering if she's feeding on the milk I left her.”I had breastfed my daughter since the moment she was born. What worried me now was that she might notice I was gone and refuse to feed from a bot

My pulse jittered, and my heart began to beat like crazy as his gaze lingered on the window where I stood. Recovering from shock, I jumped away from the window and hastily closed the curtains with my trembling fingers.My goodness! Did he see me? The question thundered inside my head, making me breathless. My palms turned cold as ice, and I brushed them against each other to create some heat to ease their stiffness.“Are you okay, Miss Lily?” Christina asked.My eyes shifted to her. She had just finished placing the food on the table and was waiting for me to eat. However, eating was the last thing on my mind now. After seeing my ex-husband, I had lost my appetite.“I'm fine,” I replied.“Are you sure?” Christina asked politely, concern evident in her expression. “You look pale, as though you've seen a ghost,” she added, worry in her eyes.'It's not a ghost I saw, but the devil himself,' I thought to myself before meeting her gaze and forcing a smile to appear on my lips. “I'm okay,”

The night of my birthday party finally arrived. I thought to myself, looking at my reflection in the full-length mirror in awe. “I—I look like a princess!” I murmured to myself in disbelief as my gaze surveyed the gown clinging to my body like a second skin.The long fiery red gown hugged my curves perfectly, and the bright color made my fair skin look radiant. The plunging neckline revealed a generous amount of my cleavage, but it wasn’t vulgar. Overall, the tight-fitting gown made my hips appear slimmer while the halter top enhanced the look of my shoulders, giving me a classy appearance.The gown looked stunning, and I was proud of myself for designing it for tonight.“You don't just look like a princess, darling. You look more like a regal queen,” Leilani said beside me, a proud smile plastered on her lips as she surveyed me from head to toe.From looking at my grandmother, my gaze returned to the mirror to examine my reflection once more. I almost did not recognize the woman sta

He was having difficulty breathing, he thought to himself while looking at her in startled puzzlement. For a moment that seemed to go on forever, his world stopped turning. He could not believe what he was seeing.Is he drunk after consuming two glasses of wine? Was his imagination going wild again, and were his eyes playing tricks on him? Rapidly, he blinked, thinking that doing so would set his vision straight. But after several seconds of doing so, Lily remained standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking like a smooth porcelain doll with a sweet smile on her lips while more than a dozen men flocked around her like bees, as if she were a delightful piece of honey.Still unable to recover from shock, he stared at the beautiful hue of her eyes. He found himself captivated by the most unique eye colors he had ever seen in his life. The left eye shone like a green gemstone, while the other sparkled noticeably, reminding him of the color of a blue lagoon.Her eyes confirmed who she wa
