If You Want Me to Walk Away, I will Take Steps Back
Gryphon froze at her action, enough for him to keep mum. He just pulled back a little before moving his arms to wrap her around her. There was a certain strength to it, but he was so scared that he might even break whatever was left intact inside Andrea.
He was not an affectionate person; he didn’t know that he shouldn’t have held her a little bit tighter.
They ended up returning to their room together. Even if they spared a few minutes to change into their sleepwear, there were no more words exchanged between the two of them. As they lay on their bed, they just kept their backs on each other.
Gryphon—no matter how much he valued this free time—couldn’t sleep anymore. As for Andrea, that was all she could do for the night.

The next moment that Andrea woke up, she found herself lying on her side on their bed. She remembered how she passed out in Gryphon’s arms after eating a lot that morning. With the elegant clock facing her from the nightstand, she could see that it was almost lunch. She furrowed her brows at the thought of eating again as soon as she woke up.“You don’t seem to understand what I’m saying. We’re not hurting VNVS’s sales. What made you think that it’s on the table?” Gryphon’s stern CEO voice echoed behind her, and the wife turned her head to find Gryphon on the phone while working at a desk. He even had two laptops in front of him.What made her look was that he was talking about VNVS—her company.Gryphon did say that he was going to work the entire time that
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling He only Has Me
Gryphon was drinking water when Andrea started talking to Roxanne. When she tilted her head, he knew that something else was already going out. That woman next to him suddenly stopped being his wife—or at least the pushover carpet that she had become.That was why, when she kept on sending attacks at the two girls, he didn’t know how to respond. Should he keep quiet, or should he help her out? Erm, nah, his name got mixed in this. It’s best for him not to speak at this point anymore.It’s just that he felt how someone else’s hand pressed on his thigh. When he felt it, he quickly jerked to look. It was Sammy’s hand, but she was pressing a towel on him… because he was already spilling water on himself. He brought the glass down and subtly patted the towel to dry his lap.

The faint music in the background flitted into his ears as soon as he opened the door of their suite. Gryphon had to wait for the elevator to return to the lobby, like an idiot who got left behind. However, he was only annoyed at Bettina’s decision to exclude him. Whether Andrea told him what happened that night or not, he’d get it out one way or another. That was why he just walked inside their room as soon as he got there.His eyes landed on Andrea’s back view. In her dressing robe, the shapely wife was humming along to the faint music and seemingly preparing something on the small table near the bed. Gryphon only watched her for a few seconds before speaking again.“Andy, that’s not some poison that she gave you, is it? Why are you pouring wine for us?” Gryphon hummed as he looked away and decided to change into his dressi
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling I Promise to Never Make You Suffer (2)
The island that Bettina promised to be a sight of a lifetime ended up being a paradise on earth for Andrea. Around them were sandbars, and the supposed resort was nothing but a collection of cottages. Some cottages could even be pushed into the sea and left to float. The wife grew giddy before turning around her spot to flash her smile at the whistling husband.However, even if she wanted to rent a cottage and stay afloat in the water, the diving site was on another part of the island. They just walked a bit further than Bettina’s main group as Joshua led them and two other couples to the diving spot. There, they met the instructors and the small cottage that served as the locker room for the customers.Andrea and Gryphon removed their outer clothes, donning their swimsuit underneath. The other couples also did the same. Even if they were not diving very
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling Have a Drink with Death
The phone continued to ring, but the other end wouldn’t answer it for the third time. Gryphon had grown tired of dialing the number that wouldn’t pick up. He declined the call from the landline and just told the receptionist to pass on the message. However, it didn’t seem like Roxanne would have it any other way. He was only left to stare at the failed call screen before letting it close to show the home screen.Ding, the vacant phone screen with Andrea’s face as wallpaper was marred with a message notification. It came from the concierge, saying that his package had arrived.“…screw it. If she doesn’t want my terms, then we won’t play a game.” Gryphon hissed as he finally pocketed his phone. He excused himself from the room in the guise of picking up a package from the reception, so he just made the concie
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling Ashley Should Never be Alone
The phone on the nightstand rang out one after another as if all the emails and notifications from weeks ago decided to assault Andrea as soon as she connected to Gryphon’s home Wi-Fi. They just finished unpacking the luggage from the honeymoon trip, and Andrea did the laundry while the phone was left to fend off the vibrations and notification sounds that wouldn’t even finish playing.Soon enough, the battlefield had gone quiet. Andrea picked up her phone and saw that there were more than a hundred of them waiting for her. However, she just mercilessly swiped all of them to the side after taking note of all the apps that sent in the important ones.She sat on the bed and looked at the photos of the finished [Cosmic Paradise–Fantasy] that Leon sent. He also sent photos of the rough draft for this questionable watch that Monarch wanted to consu
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling The Gryphon to the Andrea
Days passed after their return. Andrea quietly worked on two plans while waiting for the launch of [Fantasy] in the coming weeks. After all, the two companies decided to wait for [Expression] to be finished. Yes, the next watch in the [Snow Paradise] collection was called Expression. For now, she should focus on the third [Gardener] watch.Andrea scrolled through the ideas sent in by the R&D department of VNVS. They knew that the Gardener series involved the least used flowers and gave fantastic remixes to them. It didn’t have to be extremely luxurious as the series catered to the middle class.“Oh, this is a fun idea…” The owner lifted her brows and saw a suggestion for a luminescent case. It would stay dark in the morning, but it would light up at night. Though this would take quite a while to have a functioning design, Andrea had
The Billionaire's Pretend Darling Hyena
The lights of the Moissanite Hotel grew bright again, and the staff was working their asses off to make sure that the conference was going to be the most successful. Andrea sat on her vanity and had the make-up artist work her magic. Sammy was on the phone with another person on the other side of the room, dealing with the influx of people coming in. After all, this was a joint exhibit of both Monarch’s Delight and VNVS. Some weeks ago, they had already announced Pearce Empire’s acquisition of the other timepiece giant. Right now, as if royals of the watch-making brands, Gryphon and Andrea Pearce sat on the throne. Cameras flashed all over the place as the guests were allowed to enter soon enough. The same faces who walked inside the by-invitation parties were the same people in this launch event. Of course, it was their money that flowed in and out of the co
