My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Themis’ POV

“M-Miss Winter–

“Sssh.. I’ll just bring her to her room,” I said to the maids when they saw me carrying Winter in my arms.

They nodded their heads and smiled at each other as I continue walking upstairs going to Winter’s room.

I gently placed Winter on her bed as soon as I reached her room. I’m actually planning on reprimanding her, but then she’s already asleep, so I guess I’ll just do it tomorrow. After all, she looks so tired and I don’t think she would be able to sleep again if I ever disturb her. She’ll just get mad at me if that happens.

That man.

For sure, he’s the one who has a bad plan against Winter. He keeps on visiting here to get Elisse’s favor too, for sure he still likes her.

And today, I don’t even know where they went for them to take so long outside. Winter also seems to be so tired.

I already told her to call or text me so I could fetch her, but just like she always does, she never called or texted me. Probably because she was having fun with that man.

Just thinking about that makes me mad already.

Having fun with that man while I’m here, I couldn’t even sleep because I keep on worrying about her.

“You really are a hard-headed woman,” I mumbled as I tucked her in. I swept the strands of hair that were almost covering her face, and I took off her sandals.

I was about to go out of her room when she suddenly grabbed me by the arm. I looked at her and realized she was still sleeping because her eyes were still closed.

“Ian…” she suddenly mumbled in her sleep.

I immediately balled my hands into a fist as soon as I heard that. I brushed her hand off me, then I left her to proceed to my room.

I don’t even know what’s happening to me, but I get really irritated whenever I see them together. She’s still my wife, and so she shouldn’t be flirting with some other guy. She should also be calling me when she promised to, knowing that I am always waiting for her to do that.

What am I even saying right now?

I shouldn’t care about whatever she does with other people, since I’m just using her to succeed with my plan. After all, that’s what I’ve always wanted to happen. For Winter to find a man that would love her so she wouldn’t spend her time bugging me.

“You don’t have any right to tell her what to do, Themis. You’re the one who ruined her life.” I mumbled to myself as I lay down on my bed.

I need to find the people behind my parents’ death as soon as possible. I can’t spend a long time here, knowing that it could affect their family, especially Winter.

“You didn’t call me again,” I said while we were having breakfast.

Winter immediately looked at me. “H-Huh? Oh, I’m sorry about that. I didn’t notice the time, and I also forgot to call you.”

“I’m not saying that you need to tell me everything that you’ll be doing, but at least call me whenever you can’t go home early or have something else to do.”

“I understand. Don’t worry, that will never happen again. By the way, Ian brought me to his newly built restaurant yesterday. It was so beautiful there, I think that would make a hit. I also think we could go there some other time.”

Talking about that man again.

I suddenly lost the urge to continue eating, so I put my cutlery down. “I have to go to work now. Elisse, let’s go.”

“Y-Yes, brother.”

Upon arriving at their school, Elisse and I stepped out of the car and started walking to their classroom.

“Brother.”

“Huh?

“Are you mad at Miss Winter?” Elisse asked me all of a sudden.

I looked at her with furrowed brows. “Why do you say that?”

“Because you didn’t answer her when she was talking about Uncle Ian’s restaurant a while ago.”

“Don’t worry, Elisse. I’m not mad at her. I’m just thinking about work, so I wasn’t able to pay much attention to what she was saying.”

“Is that true?”

“Of course, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

A smile appeared on her face as she nodded her head. Elisse is really a smart kid. She notices even the small details around her. Especially when something’s going on between me and Winter. She’ll immediately ask me to confirm it.

“Be a good girl as always, okay?”

“Yes, brother!”

“That’s my girl.”

I was about to leave already, but then Elisse suddenly called someone. “Dr. Belle!”

My feet automatically stopped moving as I heard the name Elisse just called. I don’t know if I heard it right, but I only got to confirm it when I also heard a voice of a woman.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Elisse!”

I didn’t turn around. I just stayed standing there while listening to them.

Is it really her? Is it Belle?

“Did you just arrive?”

“Yes, Dr. Belle. I’m with my brother! Oh, there he is! Brother!”

I took a deep breath before I slowly turned around and faced the two of them.

Both of our eyes widened upon seeing each other.

It was really her.

It’s Belle.

I thought she would blurt out my name, but then she just smiled and pretended as if she doesn’t know me. “Good morning, Sir Matthew?”

“Good morning, Dr. Belle.”

“Brother, she is the beautiful doctor that I used to tell you! She always treats my wound whenever I get one.”

“O-Oh, really? Then I should thank her for that.”

Belle shook her head. “Oh, no, you don’t have to do that. It’s my duty to take care of the kids. Besides, I’m the official doctor here in their school. By the way, Elisse is such a good girl.”
