The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 48

"Sophia is pregnant?"

Paige looked at the message from Renata for a moment. She subconsciously replied, "How did you know that?"

"I saw it in the company chatting group. Sophia was seen doing a pregnancy test at the hospital. It is said that she was pregnant. Paige, did you and Ethan break up for good?"

"Yeah, there is no way we can be together again." Paige replied. All was over between them when Ethan, in a self-righteous way, betrayed her to be with Sophia and helped to bully her.

She had given up Ethan, but the news of Sophia's pregnancy still hurt her. She was in love with Ethan for real back then and even dreamed about marrying him and having babies. But everything changed now.

"Don't be sad, Paige. He cheating on you in your dating period proves that he is not your Mr. Right. You deserve someone better!" Sad still. She sighed heavily and put away the phone.

Joseph stared at Paige without moving and he thought, "The cutie was fine before checking out the phone, is there anything wrong?"

Having noticed that Joseph was staring at her, she said, "What are you looking at? Never seen a beauty before?"

"I've seen varieties of beauties, but I never met the ugly woman with sad faces." Joseph was in a very emphatic pronunciation of the word "ugly" deliberately.

"You got a death wish? Don't call me ugly!" Paige glared at Joseph in a huff.

His mouth twitched, "An angry woman is the ugliest. What's that makes your face so clouded?"

"Somebody tells me Sophia is pregnant!"

"What's her pregnancy to you? Why are you so angry?"

It made Paige angrier that Joseph had downplayed this issue, "Why are you thinking it this way? She seduced Ethan into betraying me and throwing me out of the house. Now she's pregnant. And I am supposed to be a saint?"

"Being angry for a s*umbag who betrayed you? You're really something!" Joseph's face gradually darkened.

"She is still thinking about another man, that s*umbag, when she is with me now? It looks like I'm nothing to her!" Joseph had never been ignored by a woman like this before, which made him get in a bad mood all at once.

"You are not standing in my shoes. Would you still be as cool as a cucumber if it happened to you? I doubt it!" Paige was irritated and retorted immediately.

With a grim smile Joseph said, "Yes, I would never be angry for the one who is not worth, because I'm not stupid or be used by others. That's the difference between us!"'

"Look how smart and amazing you are! Then why are you working as a pimp? You think that you are superior to others, but in fact you are the weak! You are not qualified to laugh at others in this way!" After hearing Paige's words, he gazed at her for a few seconds with his cold expression. Then he hissed through the teeth, "Don't call me pimp! I'm not!"

With this, he put down the tableware and stood up with a rush.

Paige stared for a moment as he strode out of the restaurant, "I pissed him off?"

What had she just said? The pimp?

D*n it! How come that she said this word again?

She was extremely annoyed.

Joseph went towards the car outside after leaving there. He lit a cigarette, take a toke and blew a cloud of smoke. Then he started the car and left after quietening down.

It came the night with prepared cuisine for Joseph. Whether it was good or not, it at least showed Paige's sincerity.

She felt that she made amends so sincerely that Joseph would not have any anger.

It turned out Joseph never showed up in the evening. Paige texted him to ask if he would be back for dinner.

"No!"

The indifferent word ruined her moment in an instant.

She sat in the sofa and thought for a while before sending another message to Joseph, "Where are you?"

"In Climax Space!"

"For what?" Paige immediately became nervous.

"Accompany the boss for guest reception." She felt much better knowing this. She would subconsciously ignore the fact that Bob was now James's chauffeur once she heard the words "Climax Space".

Now that James was receiving a guest at Climax Space, he must have been waiting there as well.

He might have not eat anything till now. Since she had already prepared the food, she shall take it to him.

Paige went on her way to Climax Space with packed food only to find no one was in the car that Joseph had drove this noon when she arrived there.

Paige had to call him. It took a long time before the line was through. It sounded noisy on Joseph's side. His voice was cold, "What's the matter?"

"Where are you? I am in the parking lot outside the Climax Space."

Joseph didn't expect Paige to come here. Because he wasn't meeting guests now. Instead, he was with Aiden.

Now that Paige had come looking for him, he had to get out of the room, "I'll be right there." C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

A few minutes later, Joseph appeared in the parking lot, "What makes you here?"

"I made dinner. I thought you probably didn't have dinner, so I bought it for you." Paige looked at him raising the food in her hand.

"You made it yourself?" Joseph was very surprised. He thought the cutie never cooked.

"Yes, from the recipe. I never cooked before, so it likely is not very good. But you have no option.

With a beaming face he said, "Thank you!"

So charming his smile was. Paige's heart kept pounding under his gentle gaze. She lowered her head coyly and let out an smile.

Looking at the ground she stammered, "What happened today... I'm sorry! I didn't mean what I said. I promise I will never say that again."

"Well, I forgive you! Remember, don't say the word again, or I'll wring your neck!"

"Got it! Eat up!"

Joseph opened the door of the car and Paige followed him into it.

The man started with a big mouthful of the food, with a gentle smile on his face. Paige saw him eating with satisfaction and couldn't help asking, "Is it good?"

"Not really." It was the truth.

"So what makes you enjoy it so much?"

"You." The man answered with a smile,

"You're the first girl to cook for me. My heart melts!"

"Come on." Paige didn't believe Joseph certainly. He was so handsome that there must be countless women enchanted with him. He tried to make her happy, didn't he?

Nonetheless, she still felt happy secretly.

Joseph felt an itch in his heart when he saw how shy she looked. He reached out to touch Paige's face.

He thought Paige would refuse. But she did not move and allowed him to continue.

Her skin was as smooth as cream. Joseph couldn't help lowering his head and kissing her on the lips.

At this moment, Ethan, who was in a car around, watched this scene viciously with hands clenched into fists slowly.
