The Billionaire's Replacement Bride 136. Mirror
All the staff had gathered in the living room. The interviews with the entire family were done, as well as surveys of the employees and Zeroun's residence. "I apologize for my grandson's absence," Mrs. Rosaline said apologetically. "He's not feeling well and is resting now. I hope it won't affect your evaluation." Her words were directed more towards the middle-aged woman who had conducted the interview in Gerald's office. Hearing Mrs. Rosaline's words, the woman smiled and nodded. "I understand," she said. "I am a mother too, and I know how it feels to be unwell during pregnancy, like Mrs. Ariana. I had morning sickness all the way until my children were born." She continued. Mrs. Rosaline looked relieved hearing this. "Such matters won't change our assessment. But we need to inform you that after this, we will also go to Axel's school to interview the teachers." Mrs. Sri, as the woman was called, continued. Mrs. Rosaline and Gerald just nodded. "I'm sure the school will also spe

Mrs. Rosaline called the nearest servant to her. "Where is Yosef?" she asked the servant, who turned back to look at Mrs. Rosaline with fear in his eyes. Understandably so, her Christian face clearly displayed anger. "Um, ma'am, Mr. Yosef went out with Mrs. Ariana's guest earlier," the young servant stammered. Mrs. Rosaline simply nodded and went back into the living room, closing the door behind her. She grabbed her phone and searched for Yosef's name there. He picked up the call on the first ring. "Where are you?" she asked the middle-aged man who had devoted more than half his life to their family. "On the way to the hospital, ma'am," Yosef replied from the other end. He was now sitting in the car being driven by Jody, looking back where Ariana was held in Amber's arms. "Which hospital?" Mrs. Rosaline asked again. Yosef mentioned the name of a hospital well-known to Mrs. Rosaline. "Very well. Do as we discussed earlier," commanded Mrs. Rosaline before ending the call. Yo

"From the EKG results we've obtained, for now, we can confirm that Mrs. Ariana is experiencing tachycardia. This is a condition where the heart beats faster than it should," he continued quickly as three pairs of eyes stared at him with confusion. "Have you ever experienced your heart beating faster during exercise?" the young doctor's question was directed more towards Jody. Jody nodded. "That's what's happening to Mrs. Ariana right now. But clearly, it's not because of her exercising." "There are many reasons why someone might experience tachycardia aside from exercise. Hypertension, anemia, stress, and several other factors can cause a patient to experience something like this," the senior doctor explained again. "We need to conduct further tests on Ariana's condition." The three people in front of the doctors nodded. "Do your best for them, Doctor. I want my granddaughter-in-law and future great-grandchild to be under the best care," Mrs. Rosaline said. The two doctors nodded si
The Billionaire's Replacement Bride 139. Tell Him
Amber stared at Ariana with a sharp gaze. "What do you mean?" she asked, unsure. "I'm going away," Ariana replied again, deliberately repeating her words even though she knew Amber had heard them before. "As soon as the adoption papers are out, I'm leaving." Amber continued to look at her, confused. "Where are you going?" she asked, anger rising again. "Where do you want to go? Your family, your home, everything is here," she reminded her. "I've consulted with a doctor, Amber. I can't stay here for long," Ariana said softly. "So where are you going?" she asked again, her voice filled with frustration. "You want to leave? To whom? Your family, your home, everything is here," she reminded her. "I've consulted with a doctor, Amber. I can't stay here for long," Ariana said softly. "So where are you going?" she asked again, her voice filled with frustration. "You want to leave? To whom? Your family, your home, everything is here," she reminded her. "I need to go far away," Ariana answ
The Billionaire's Replacement Bride 140. What If
The next morning, the atmosphere at Zeroun's residence seemed tense. Since leaving Axel's room, Gerald spent his night intoxicated. Meanwhile, Axel cried in his grandmother's arms until he fell asleep, his sobs fading away. Now, when they met at the breakfast table, both avoided each other. Axel didn't want to greet his father, and neither did Gerald. The older man deliberately kept his distance from Axel. Mrs. Rosaline knew that Gerald's actions were not driven by anger towards Axel but by the immense shame his grandson felt. "Axel, why?" Shelma's soft voice made the little boy glance briefly and frown. "Axel, did Grandma teach you to be disrespectful to your elders?" Mrs. Isidora asked sternly. Axel looked at his grandmother and then frowned again. "Axel!" Mrs. Isidora exclaimed, her voice raised. "Be quiet!" Mrs. Rosaline replied sharply. Immediately, Mrs. Isidora fell silent. "Can't you all be calm? If Axel doesn't want to talk, don't force him." She continued, addressing Mrs.

Amber stared at Ariana with a jumble of thoughts in her mind. "I don't understand your thoughts," she said softly. Ariana, who was reading a book in front of her, looked up to gaze at her cousin and friend. "What don't you understand, Amber?" she asked just as softly. "You! I don't understand your thoughts!" Amber huffed in frustration. Ariana just smiled. Amber's explosive emotions were oddly entertaining to her. "We've kept this secret for years. Even your dad doesn't know anything about your illness. You let everyone believe you're fine, when in fact, you're not. And now, you're pregnant with the person you love, and he loves you too. But why are you keeping all of this a secret from him? Isn't love supposed to be accompanied by facing hardships and joys together, sickness and health? Why do you want to bear it all alone?" she asked again. Amber knew, she understood what Jody had said earlier. But still, she was curious about Ariana's mindset, and she wanted to hear it all from A

"Mom!" called Amber's mother again. They seemed unaware of the two little heads peeking out from behind the nearby wall. "That's the truth. She never really considered Bradley her husband, just a replacement husband. She only saw Bradley as a substitute for Anton, especially financially. To her, Bradley was just a walking bank account. She asked him for this and that for her needs but never appreciated Bradley the way she should have. Bradley indeed became a perfect father in the eyes of their two daughters. But not a perfect husband in her eyes. More than that, she treated Bradley like trash. I can't blame Bradley; love is blind. But that doesn't mean he couldn't redirect his feelings to another woman. He was wrong, why stay in love with a woman who was already married to his own twin brother? But I can't justify Caitlyn's actions either. I don't know what was going through her mind when she accepted Bradley's proposal. Maybe she needed to feel financially secure, but if in the end

A week after the arrival of the orphanage officials, the long-awaited decision finally came. Fortunately for Ariana, two days after being admitted to the hospital, she was allowed to go home. So, when the foundation representatives came to hand over the adoption confirmation documents, she appeared healthy, as if she didn't have any illness at all. "It's good to see you well, Mrs. Gerald," Mrs. Sri said with her usual smile. "I'm healthy, very healthy," Ariana replied, full of gratitude. She was aware of Gerald's sarcastic glances and soft scoffs beside her, but she chose to ignore them. "Alright, we can start signing the documents," she said, returning to the original topic. The woman then took something out of her leather bag and read it aloud. "Here, in this document, it is stated briefly that Axel's custody rights now fully belong to Mr. and Mrs. Gerald." She paused, looking at Ariana and Gerald alternately. Both Ariana and Gerald nodded in response. "This document was create
