Billionaire's wife by Ashleh Queen (free ebook novel TXT) 📗

I was reluctant to get my hand out for the ring exchange but the women sitting in front of me had huge smiles on. And, I knew everything could wait.

I heard one of the women talking about how considerate he was about the kids and orphan kids at that. I don’t know why but it was getting my breaths low. I stared at my fiance who seemed busy in talks with Mr Hashimi. He seemed too unreal to be true. As if he has stepped out of some fairytale. Seeing people here talk about how to help foster kids and climate made me feel so right on. I was the girl growing up in an orphanage and I knew how much those kids needed families. The guy I still didn’t know what his name was seemed informed enough about everything. He didn’t look at me afterwards and I couldn’t stop looking at him but got utterly embarrassed when he caught me. And, the moment he offered me a smile at my shameless act I felt my heart swell. But it only stayed for the trace of the second as he seemed busy in the talks the next moment. Was I in love? Hell no...but he was like an expensive gift someone was offering me and I was having second thoughts wondering if it was a scam.

“You are so lucky, Julie. Matteo is a very shy and considerate person. I hope you like my gifts…” The woman was Mrs Hashimi from what I gathered so far.

After almost half an hour later, Mr and Mrs Hashimi were talking about the portraits the dining hall had. I wasn’t very much interested and it seems Mrs Hashimi too.

“You are very lucky, Julie. I hope my husband can be half sensitive about the things Matt cares about.” I don’t know why I smiled. I looked at Matt…his name was Matt or Matteo. And, he seemed very…very…busy talking in the German language now.

“Yes…he is amazing.” I just knew that. Anybody would know that for looking at him for a few seconds.

“Don’t get it wrong but the guys who seemed shy and geeks are really good in bed.” Mrs Hashimi’s sister added and both laughed while I knew I was getting my ears red. I don’t know why I turn to look at Matt but find him busy talking.

I really wanted to ask him why he was marrying with his father’s wishes. He didn’t lack anything at all. Was he too shy and busy all the time to not choose a wife for him? Well, that sounds too unreal so there were definitely other reasons.

“When’s the wedding?” Mrs Hashimi asked and I knew I had to come up with something that sounds genuine.

“You know his work…we will definitely let you know…” I tried to cover and was shivering inside realizing how quickly I made this up. I don’t know what he will think of me.

“Mr Lucca wants to talk to you,” I was called by Mr Winston and followed him to the far corner.

“Yes, Mr Lucca…” He raised his brows and I knew what he meant but I refused to call him dad from what he did in the morning.

“I am sorry…ok?” He said making my raging nerves relax.

“…I thought you will back off. You see how much of an embarrassment it could be…” He added and I wonder he could be polite this much in the morning too but he chose not to.

“It’s fine...but…I…don’t have much tolerance. It’s just…I respect you a lot Mr Lucca…I...” He raised his brows again and I gulped hard and took my time before adding. “…dad.”

“Your mother called to look for you. It seems urgent.” I narrowed my eyes on him and wonder what it was.

“I kind of was trying to get her here and in the process, she gets to know about…your engagement.” I looked at him shocked and knew I had to go. I started walking to Matt to tell him I had to leave when Mr Lucca intervened. “I will tell him you got the emergency.” And, at that moment I felt as if he did it on purpose but I didn’t have much time to think about it and had to leave.
