Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 61: Rafe
LUCIENIn response to my apology, Helene's grandfather smiled warmly.Though age had painted his hair almost entirely silver and etched deep lines around his eyes, his posture remained straight, and his gaze retained a quiet, restrained sharpness."Not at all. We've been looking forward to meeting you as well."Unlike his wife, who regarded me with quiet reserve, he made no attempt to hide his curiosity as he studied me openly.Without realizing it, I found myself sitting a little straighter."I should have made time to visit sooner," I said. "That was an oversight on my part, and I apologize for it."The moment I decided to come here, I had already accepted that this meeting wouldn't be easy. Making excuses or trying to skirt around the obvious would only leave a poorer impression, so honesty seemed the only sensible approach.As expected, the older gentleman's expression softened."Helene told us you've been very busy lately. The fact that you still found time to come today is thoug
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 60: Seeking Her Out
LUCIENThree days slipped by before I knew it.Ever since deciding to stop passively waiting for our relationship to progress on its own, I had begun making a conscious effort to change the way Helene and I interacted.Every morning before leaving for work, I'd send her a message, and every evening, I'd let her know when I got home.Whenever something mildly amusing happened during the day, I'd find myself telling her about it, even if it was nothing more than Adrian wearing a thoroughly resentful expression whenever I insisted on leaving the office on time.To my quiet delight, the effort hadn't been in vain.Helene gradually began replying more often.Sometimes she'd tell me what she had spent the day doing. Other times, she'd send me shots of her garden or the latest smoothie she'd made, asking which one looked more appealing or what I thought she should try making next.Our conversations remained simple, yet each one lasted a little longer than the last.It wasn't a dramatic chang
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 59: Grandparents' Arrival
HELENEAfter hanging up the call, I remained standing by the window for a long while, watching the evening gradually settle over the quiet neighborhood before finally letting out a soft sigh.From Grandma's sudden declaration that she and Grandpa were returning to Solstice, to their arrival and the relentless questioning that followed, I had barely found a moment to gather my thoughts.Only after speaking with Lucien did something occur to me.Even though I had known from the moment Grandma announced they were coming that I wouldn't be returning to Monarch Park that night, it hadn't even crossed my mind to let him know beforehand.That was entirely my oversight.Whether our marriage was real or not had nothing to do with it. It was simply basic courtesy to let the person I was living with know I wouldn't be coming home for the night.Instead, he had been the one to call and ask where I was.The thought left me feeling even more apologetic than before.When I returned, I'd have to apol
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 58: Staying Out
LUCIENAfter a busy, albeit rather uneventful day at work, I decided to leave right on time, much to Adrian's visible envy.As the car pulled away from Blackthorne Group, my thoughts drifted home almost immediately.More specifically, they drifted toward Helene.Over the past several days, although we hadn't spent every waking moment together, each of us keeping mostly to our own rooms or the study, there had always been the quiet comfort of knowing the other person was somewhere within the house.Habit truly was a frightening thing.Somewhere along the way, I had unconsciously grown accustomed to her presence. Throughout the workday, I found myself wondering what she might be doing.Had she spent the afternoon tending to her plants?Or perhaps she was in the kitchen experimenting with another smoothie recipe.The thought drew an involuntary smile from my lips.Perhaps she had noticed my absence today as well.After all, until this morning, there had always been the two of us beneath
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 57: Grandma's Fury
HELENE"Sweetheart."Grandma's familiar voice came through the speaker, warm and reassuring as always."You haven't called for days. Is everything alright over there?""Everything's fine," I replied as I walked over to the sofa and sat down. "I've just been a little busy these past few days."The excuse sounded weak even to my own ears."I'm sorry. You must have been worried.""No need to apologize," Grandma said, though the relief in her voice was impossible to miss. "As long as you're alright."The guilt that hit me was almost overwhelming.Calling Grandma and Grandpa had always been part of my routine. No matter how busy I got, I checked in at least once every few days. Going nearly a week without contacting them was unusual enough that they had undoubtedly noticed.In fact, they had probably realized something was wrong long before now.Yet neither of them had called repeatedly demanding answers.Neither had pressured me.Looking back, they were likely giving me space because they
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 56: Home
LUCIENAdrian's expression immediately turned serious."No."He shook his head."From everything I found, he's an ordinary employee. No suspicious financial activity. No personal connections to your uncle or cousin. No evidence they've ever crossed paths."The answer didn't surprise me.If Marcus and Julian truly had a connection with the Morgans, then they would never need direct contact with the journalist in the first place.All it would take was a word from his employer."Should I look into the Morgans?" Adrian asked. "See what they've been doing recently?"I was about to agree, then paused.A thought surfaced unexpectedly.Ever since the accident, one detail had continued to bother me.When I first began investigating Marcus and Julian, I had discovered a thread leading toward them.Nothing concrete or sufficient, but just enough to make me suspicious.What never made sense, however, was the execution itself.For all their ambition, neither Marcus nor Julian possessed the ability
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 48: The Meridian
HELENEThe answer wasn't difficult to arrive at.It was for her son.Of course it was.Was I disappointed?A little.Surprised? No.If anything, the realization made me feel lighter.Knowing where someone's kindness came from made it easier to accept without reading too much into it.My silence must

Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 32 Truth
HELENEAfter taking a few sips of water, the coughing finally subsided.“Are you alright now?” Old Mr. Blackthorne asked, concern evident in his voice.“Yes, Mr. Blackthorne,” I replied somewhat sheepishly as I screwed the cap back onto the bottle before bending slightly to place it beside my chair
Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir Chapter 31 Husband
HELENESeeing the bewilderment in Lucien’s eyes, a faint sense of embarrassment crept over me.To someone like me, there was hardly any place more irresistible than a room filled with thriving plants.From the moment we stepped into the sunroom, I had already been captivated.The warm air, the dens
