Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 35. Richard Kept Himself Busy
Richard's POVMy right hand kept trying to find a file that I could use to work on. At the same time, my left hand was busy recontacting Jeremy. I finally stopped after three attempts. About 10 minutes later, Jeremy called me back. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize there was an incoming call. Can I help you?" Jeremy asked rather breathlessly. My ears faintly heard suspicious voices. I answered. "Oh, it's okay. It's about the documents I'm supposed to work on tomorrow. Where did you keep it?" "Did our client ask to finish as soon as possible? Did, ah, my lady!" I paused. Lady? Why does this sound so kinky? Who was Jeremy with? What was he doing right now?"I, I mean, do I have to return to the office and finish it?" Jeremy asked stammeringly. I could even feel his embarrassment up to here.I wasn't mistaken. It was Jeremy's sigh. Judging from his breathing, it seemed like Jeremy was having a sexual activity with someone. I replied. "No need. I need to know where the document is. I want
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 36. Krystal Wishes
Richard's POV"Nothing's wrong with me. Can't you be patient until someone picks up your phone call? You think everyone must always prioritize your call above all else?" I retorted coldly.There was a pause for a few seconds. Krystal probably never thought I would reply to her in this way. "Is this how you reply to a wife worried about her husband?" she exclaimed. I could hear she was taking great pains not to use a high tone again. A sardonic smile appeared on my face. "Thank you for your concern, wife. Anything else?" I replied in an unconcerned tone. Calling your husband in the morning after he hasn't come home all night doesn't necessarily reflect that you're a good wife. "Richard! Okay, I know you're still sulking because I didn't keep my word, but don't you know why I had to do it? I thought we both had the same goal of maintaining our household?" Krystal was persistent with her arguments.I let out a long breath. For God's sake, it's not even morning to start the day w
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 37. Almost Always
Richard's POV "So, Mr. Richard ...." Shawn was just about to say something when suddenly a knock sounded on the door.Shawn and I looked at each other. I signaled him to keep quiet. "Please come in," I said to whoever knocked on the door. The door opened, and Jeremy appeared with several files in his hand.Jeremy didn't notice that there was someone other than me there. Jeremy's gaze was entirely on the documents in his hand."Mr. Richard, can you handle these documents? Oh, sorry. I didn't know you had company," Jeremy looked guilty. I shook my head."It's okay. It just so happens that our business is over." I glanced at Shawn. Shawn quickly responded, understanding that this was not the right situation for him to report something.He nodded briefly at me, and Jeremy then got up and walked out of my room. I looked back at Jeremy with the file in his hand."To be honest, we've been trying to settle this, but the client insists on meeting with you," Jeremy explained after handi
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 38. Blake's Weirdness
Richard's POV"No... I haven't had breakfast yet. I don't want to have breakfast either," I said while staring at the table. Then looked back at Blake, who somehow looked nervous.I shifted my gaze to the pile of groceries. "Did you just do your grocery shopping? It's quite a lot, considering it's just me and Krystal at home," I said in surprise.Blake opened and closed his mouth several times nervously before answering. "I seem to have forgotten that Miss Nikkie isn't here anymore. I apologize," Blake said with a bow of his head.I patted Blake's shoulder understandingly. "It's okay. I forget sometimes that Nikkie doesn't live here anymore."Blake nodded slowly."Have you seen Krystal?" I asked Blake. Blake shook her head. "Mrs. Krystal hasn't been home since yesterday," Blake replied. "Very good. All right, I'm going to my room. You can get back to your work," I told Blake before turning around.As I walked up the stairs, I smiled sarcastically. Oh, the call last night was
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 39. Escape to MMA Gym
Richard's POV"Sure," I said with my heart racing. Shawn began to focus his cell phone camera on the object that was making out in front of the car. Judging from the number of neatly parked cars and the construction design displayed on the screen, I could conclude that this scene was taken in a basement parking lot.Shawn seemed to be keeping her phone in a steady position, and the image on the screen was enough to convince me that it was Krystal.I had no idea who the tall man who was now hugging Krystal was. The man looked younger and was wearing branded clothing from head to toe.Krystal seemed very familiar with the man to the extent that she could casually accept pecking on the forehead and lips.The sound of Krystal and the stranger's conversation could not be appropriately caught. I could only stare wide-eyed at all the things on the screen.Krystal and the man seemed to be having some conversation until they both decided to leave the parking lot and go inside.I don't know wh
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 40. Photos and Videos Evidence
Richard's POV"Wha, what? Why, Richard?" asked Krystal in astonishment. The real shock was plastered on her face. I snorted sarcastically. "You're snorting at me? Why are you being so rude, Richard? What did I do wrong?" exclaimed Krystal unhappily.I roll my eyes. I was fed up to the point where I didn't want to explain anything to Krystal. I felt that words had no impact on her whatsoever. It would only add to the endless arguments."Richard!" shouted Krystal, getting impatient."Shut up, Krystal! Weren't you the one who told me to come home once? Now I'm home, and you're still bothering me? Fine, I'll get out of here!" I exclaimed in exasperation.Krystal hurriedly held my arm as I almost passed her. I quickly removed her hand from my arm. I winced in disgust."Alright, Richard, I'm sorry, okay? Don't go, alright, I won't talk to you anymore," Krystal said nervously.I glanced sharply at her before turning around and entering my room. I knew I shouldn't have been that rude
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 41. Breaking In
Richard's POV"Alright. Good luck, then. Please investigate this apartment first, then you can continue your other task afterward," I ordered Shawn before ending the call.I then drove my car back to the office. I put the clean clothes from the laundry in my private room. I then decided to finish my investigation into the cause of Moonstone Corp.'s unending debt to Goldman Co. Ltd., Krystal's company. "The sooner this matter is resolved, the sooner I can decide to continue my relationship with Krystal. Cheer up, Richard!" I encouraged myself before turning on my laptop.I struggled in front of my laptop for over six hours. As the clues unfolded before my eyes, I felt both sick and annoyed.I decided to end my work and find something to eat. The weather at 5 pm was very sunny and perfect for eating out.I walked around the office in search of fast food. I bought a burger and chose to eat it in a park not far from my office.The park this afternoon was bustling with people with
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 42. Forget About the Boundaries
Nikkie's POV"Sharon, can we talk about that later? I'll talk to Richard first, just the two of us," I pleaded with Sharon.Richard's condition had not been good since he had suddenly entered the apartment. His face looked haggard, with dark eye circles and bruises on several parts.I didn't dare to ask further when I saw his gaze, which seemed to hold heavy difficulties. Sharon nodded in understanding. "Sure, take your time. Please talk alone, and I'll occupy myself with the dirty dishes and clean the kitchen." Sharon lifted the clothes basket. It looked like she had just returned from the laundry room. I smiled, feeling reluctant as Sharon had to clean up the mess I made in the kitchen after making bread. "Let's talk in my room, Richard," I invited Richard. Richard nodded obediently and followed me into my bedroom. There was still a trace of worry on his face.I closed the bedroom door after we entered. I then sat on the bed, followed by Richard, who sat beside me. He still
