Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 96. A Grave Amidst the Roses
Nikkie's POV"But I'm fine," I said, confused. What's going on with Richard? He just started work today, but he's already acting strange. I stroked Richard's back gently, trying to calm him down. I had even forgotten that there were other people besides us here. Richard's condition worried me."Are you feeling sick? Does your leg hurt? You don't have to exert yourself, don't you have a capable new assistant? It's your first day back at work, but you're pushing yourself and going home late!" Unexpectedly, I nagged Richard instead. After realizing how presumptuous my actions just now were, I could only stand still. Richard chuckled softly. He rubbed the top of my head fondly, then released our embrace. I didn't dare to raise my head out of reluctance and embarrassment."I'm fine. Have you eaten? I'm so hungry," Richard said, breaking my stiffness. He led me to the dining room where Aunt Karina, Grandma, and Uncle Denise were waiting.Richard's family watched the interaction between
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 97. Nikkie; Good Bye
Nikkie's POV"Because I saw with my own eyes how deep and how much love Richard had for Krystal. Sometimes, even the smartest person can turn into a fool in the face of love," I said. I suddenly felt tired, body and soul. "Then, you don't have to worry. As long as Richard has spoken, then he will keep his word. He will raise his child well, with or without a life partner," Grandma said.I smiled bitterly. What could I expect from a grandmother who loved her grandson? She would stand by her grandson, no matter if he was right or wrong, and defend him to the hilt.I said. "That's good, Grandma. I hope Richard finds a good life companion after this if he can't be with Krystal anymore.Above all, I hope Richard finds happiness. He is a good man, a gentleman. He deserves better."There was a pause for a few moments before Grandma finally spoke up again."Wait. Why are you talking like this? Aren't you and Richard...?" Grandma hung on the words. She seemed to be afraid of saying the wrong
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 98. A Trail of Peculiarities
Richard's POV"Auntie, have you seen Nikkie?" I asked when I got home. Today, I had deliberately gotten home a little earlier than usual because I wanted to take Nikkie to her mother's house. That's why I was home by 4 pm.Aunt Karina gave me a strange look. "Didn't Nikkie leave this afternoon?" Aunt Karina asked back. I froze, quite surprised. Why is it suddenly like this? "Our family driver is taking her home, don't worry," Aunt Karina added. She then walked away with the books to her room.Grandma appeared from the kitchen and greeted me. "Is it true Nikkie has left?" I asked Grandma. Grandma nodded in confirmation."That's strange. She never said that she had to leave today," I muttered in surprise."There's nothing strange. Try to put yourself in Nikkie's shoes. She just lost her baby and then lived with a stranger for over two weeks.Most women need their mother after giving birth or after miscarriage. Nikkie has been holding back for a long time. Just give her time to be
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 99. The Empty House
Richard's POV"Didn't bring many clothes? But all the clothes in the closet are just some of the clothes Sharon brought with her when Nikkie moved here," I said in surprise. My heart was racing. A bad feeling was starting to bother me. I gave my divorce certificate to Grandma and then quickly called back Calvin, who had returned to the office."Go to this address. Right now," I ordered as soon as Calvin returned. I entered the address into the car's navigation, and Calvin made his move without question. A few tens of minutes later, I arrived at Nikkie's house. My heart skipped a beat when I saw that the house looked neglected. The ornamental plants that lined the front porch looked wilted. Even all the doors were tightly closed."What's going on? Why do I have a bad feeling?" I asked myself. I opened the front passenger door and got off so quickly that I almost fell because my leg was still not fully healed."Be careful, Mr. Richard!" exclaimed Calvin, who was circling the car and i
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 100. Richard: A Misunderstanding
Richard's POV "Let's head back," Shawn commanded Calvin. The three of us quickly entered the car and drove away from Nikkie's hometown.It was already late when Calvin dropped me off at home. I felt like my energy had been sapped, and I didn't have the power to do anything else."Tomorrow, take a day off. I'm not going to the office either," I told Calvin as I was about to get off.Calvin had been with me all day and even late into the night. These days, he didn't even have a day off as he was busy assisting me with various matters."Yes, Mr. Richard. Good night," Calvin said before walking away with Shawn. I staggered towards the front door. I don't know why it felt like the front door was so far away to reach.Halfway there, the front door suddenly opened. The figures of Grandma and Aunt Karina, wearing quilts on their shoulders, immediately came into my view."Oh, Richie. What's going on? Why do you look so messy?" the two women immediately ran to meet me. My tears fell again when
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 101. Krystal's Grandfather's Suspicions
Krystal's POV"What are you going to do now, Krystal? You can't run a company, and now you're officially a widow!" Grandpa exclaimed in a high-pitched voice.Why does everyone always ask me the same thing? Do they think I have 1001 solutions to every problem?I nibbled on my thumbnail, feeling depressed at seeing the divorce papers lying on the table. Grandpa wasn't helping at all, just pacing around, making me even more dizzy! I held my nose, which had been bleeding a lot lately. Ever since I hit Richard's car that time, I'd been feeling unwell.Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go to the hospital to get my health checked. Why? Of course, because of my current status as a police fugitive!Grandpa suddenly stopped pacing when he got a call from who knows who. Shortly after, he turned his body to face me. The look of anger he had shown me lately no longer frightened me.Usually, he would immediately spout out curse words. But now, Grandpa seemed to have run out of words and could
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 102. Encourage Jeremy to Cooperate
Richard's POV"Did you try to find out from the real estate agent? Shouldn't it be traceable to the person who bought the house?" I suggested to Shawn an idea that came to my mind this morning."I've already done this method first. But this house was sold about a month ago by Miss Nikkie's mother. The payment was made in cash, making it even more difficult to check through the bank," Shawn said on the other end of the line.My eyebrows furrowed at this oddity. "Why is Nikkie's mom selling the house all of a sudden? Is she in dire economic straits?" "I found out through the nurse you assigned to look after Miss Nikkie's mother. The answer is they are not experiencing economic hardship.The nurse mentioned that Miss Nikkie's mother had mentioned that she wanted to move to the countryside, which is why she is selling her house now," Shawn explained.I let out a long breath. Who would have thought that Nikkie's mother would move to heaven? "Why can they still live there when the house h
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 103. The Selfishness of Mayer Goldman
Richard's POV"Since you mentioned it, I've been thinking about it. You're right; Krystal's male mistresses all have something in common with me!" I exclaimed in disbelief. My eyebrows knitted together, an oddity crossing my mind. "But I don't understand; what do you mean by Krystal loving me so much? Just because I have some things in common with those men?"Calvin explained again. "From a study I read, it was explained that love is complicated. The way each person loves another person and expresses their feelings is unique and different from one another.Some of them cannot distinguish love from obsession to the point that they commit deviant acts.But I won't talk about deviant acts here."Calvin paused momentarily as he overtook a car in front of us."There seems to be an emptiness in Mrs. Krystal's soul that makes her look for an outlet outside the home. It could be loneliness or an unhealed childhood wound.Or it could be that Mrs. Krystal is wrong for thinking that she doesn't
