Billionaire’s

Billionaire’s 14



Due to my impulsive thoughts, my actions ended up embarrassing me. I realized that I should have informed him about the speck of dirt at the comer of his lips instead of attempting to wipe it away with my finger. It was as if he turned into a statue where he stood, with a surprised expression fixed on me. His cheeks even slightly flushed.

He was clearly angry!

“I’m sorry, there’s some dirt here,I pointed to the right corner of his lips.

“It–ifs gone now.” I stammered and took a step back, realizing how close I had gotten to him. His jaw clenched, and he gave me a cold look, saying “Don’t ever do that again!”

He turned his back and stormed away. I bit my lower lip and facepalmed. “I just gave him another reason to be mad at me. The other day, I hugged and not intentionally touched him, and now.

Earth, swallow me whole!

My cheeks were burning as I returned to the room, finding my mom asleep. I felt a slight relief that she had woken to talk. I took a deep breath as my chest tightened again, and the corners of my eyes warmed up. God had answered my prayer, and I was

up earlier, and we had a chance immensely grateful.

I took the orange from the basket and peeled it while I sniffed the citrusy scent. Not wanting to think about what Davin had told me a while ago. Placing it on a plate. I glanced at my mother’s bed. I wondered if Dad had found out what happened to Mom I hadn’t talked to Uncle either, maybe they paid a visit to Dad

I should have texted Uncle and asked him. I reached for my phone beside the basket and noticed a missed call from Davin and a message from here. There was a message from Steven. “I’m on my way there,” it said, sent ten minutes ago.

I was about to reply when the door opened, and I turned to see Steven holding a green square box, his handsome face lit up with a smile as he looked at me. He immediately hugged me

“How’s your mother, Lili?” he asked.

“She woke up. Steven.” I informed him, breaking the hug, I looked up at him. “Around four–twenty. I talked to her, and she said she’s feeling better. The doctor said she’s recovering?

Hi

is smile grew wider. “That’s great news, Lili. I brought pepperoni pizza” He raised the box.

I was still full from earlier, but I didn’t want to refuse him. “Our favorites 1 exclaimed, taking the box and placing it on the table. I cleared two baskets from the table to make space for the box since the table was small

As I opened it, the delicious aroma filled the air, making my mouth water. I noticed Steven doing the same. He sat in a chair next to me

“How’s work!” I asked, turning to him as he enjoyed h

his food, as if he hadn’t had lunch yet.

He chewed and replied, “Not too busy. I’ve been handling your dad’s case and dealing with Davin’s demands and needs. I’m sure you’re bored in the mansion. When’s your CISI schedule?”

I paused in chewing and shifted my gaz

my gaze away from him.

I didn’t know how to tell him that it had changed… I sighed! What should I say to Steven? It’s not the same anymore, I and Davin were going to do the actual. I took a deep breath

out and touched my arm

“Do you have a problem, Lild his voice was filled with concern as he reached out

I quickly shook my head. I didn’t want to think about that right now; I might lose my mind if I did. “Nothing. How’s Dad’s case?” I asked with a

smile,

He looked at me, not quite believing me. “Something’s bothering you Leould tell by how deep your sigh was earlier. Tell me, maybe I can help and

understand”

I glanced into his eyes for a moment and then looked away. I couldn’t bring myself to lie to him, but it was a personal matter, and I didn’t want to bear what he might say,

I’m giving myself for this contract, and Davin has the upper hand in this position.

111 PM

I smiled as I reached for a slice of pizza and placed it in his mouth. “Eat up. Really, it’s just about Mom 1 lied and grabbed another slice for myself.

He stared at me with a puzzled expression. After taking the pizza he bit to avoid dropping it. “Okay, I’ll believe you because you said so,” he finally

said.

“I still have a lot to do, especially since the other side has strong evidence, but don’t worry. Davin has someone inside to monitor the judges for any bribery from the other party. The truth will come out soon.”

“Thank you.”

Isn’t

He sank his teeth into the pizza, tearing it in half and savoring each chew. “You’ve said thank you countless times. Honestly, your

dad’s case easy, given the wealth of his opponent. Fortunately. Davin’s has people who can provide us with some evidence, and we’ve managed to recover the original CCTV footage that was deleted” he continued. “The first hearing is next month. Will you be attending?”

I nodded. “I hope the hearing goes smoothly.”

Steven took my hand and squeezed it. “It will,”

Steven stayed for an hour before departing. When Mom woke up. Zera arrived, overjoyed at the sight. She ended up in tears while talking to Mom, and the three of us couldn’t help but cry too.

As much as I wanted to stay to watch over Mom, I couldn’t. They thought I was busy with my work, and Mom had even sent me home because she was doing better. Two days had passed, and Mom was recovering well. During these two days, I didn’t see Davin, not even now. He hadn’t returned

to his mansion

Maybe he’s angry with me and doesn’t want to talk to me.

I sat quietly inside the car. Davin’s secretary had come this morning to take me to the hospital

I asked Achilles if Davin was busy, and his answer was a simple “yes” Perhaps Davin informed his secretary about what I did, which is why his response was so brief

The car stopped in front of the hospital. Tll wait here, Ma’am,” said Achilles before getting out and opening my car’s door.

“Okay

I

I walked inside and headed to the doctor’s room where she was waiting. The door was open, and I saw a man sitting there.

Wain’t be the same man who was with Davin at the restaurant before? Both of them turned to look at me. The man looked at me, smiling.

“Miss Damen!” he said, as if we knew each other.

“Son, we are done here. Let’s talk at home” the doctor said.

So, he was her son. Their facial features and smiles did match.

“Yes, Mom Miss Damet has an appointment,” he said as he stood up.

“Miss Damet, please have a seat, the doctor said with a smile.

I entered the room, thinking he would go the other way, and we nearly collided, but he stepped back in time.

I thanked him and he just smiled and left.

As I sat down. I noticed the doctor’s curious gaze on me and her son.

“Do

o you know my son“” the doctor asked.

I shook my head. “We just met on his date… I mean, when he was with Davin

Perhaps her mother already knows about her child’s relationship with Davin. However, I’m not entirely certain if they are in a relationship, it could Just be, who knows, righti

“I see. We can start now,” said the docet.

After leaving the hospital, I headed straight to the parking lot and silently got into the ear. But I noticed that Achilles wasn’t inside. Where could he be! I glanced outside, but he wasn’t there either, So, 1 leaned back in my seat, waiting for him.

The doctor said it had to be done within the third week of the month. I’m sure Davin is troubled by this too. He probably told his boyfriend abran in, and maybe they land a disagreement, which could be another reason why he didn’t come home.

4:11PM

1 sighed in frustration. Why does it have to be the natural way? Why is his father like this? I crossed my arms and sighed again. “I signed the contract, and I must do it.” I muttered to myself. “Where could Achilles be?” I wondered, looking outside, but he still wasn’t there. Why?

I checked my phone, it was already ten. I had told my mom I would visit. A car pulled up not far from where I was, and Davin got out. Wait! Why does he have a bruise on his face and a cut on his lip? Who’s that woman with him? Could she be his sister!

I couldn’t hear what the woman n was saying: h

her face was scowling as she followed Davin. I wondered

Then a realization came to me, my hand went to my mouth. Perhaps they had a quarrel with his boyfriend, and he had been beaten up. Poor

Davin

The two entered the building, the woman trailing behind like a puppy, muttering something. I stepped out and walked towards the hospital. They were quite a distance away, so I decided to follow them

“Davin! Why aren’t you talking to me? Did I do something wrong?” the beautiful woman still followed him, her voice tinged with irritation,

Davin remained silent, walking down the hallway in a straight line.

*Davin! Are you even listening?” the woman snapped. “What happened to make you act like this?”

Just leave me,” Davin said without enthusiasm. “Follow me again, and I’ll ask the guard to take you out.”

“Fine” the woman said, leaving the man who didn’t even glance back at her. She had an angry expression, so she didn’t notice me.

As I was curious about why Davin was in the hospital, I followed him as he turned down a corridor.

I was about to turn when I halted, my eyes widened seeing him standing there, staring at me with his crossed arms, “Why are you following me?” Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
