《Billionaire’s Surrogate (ENGLISH)》全部章節：第 31 章 - 第 40 章

Elijah Theodore MartinezI didn’t want to leave Eliana’s unit, but I had no choice when Daddy went there. Even though he didn’t see her, I knew he had an idea about what I’ve been up to. After all, he is still my father; if there is anyone who knows me best, it’s none other than Dad.I put my mask back on before facing Eliana again, who remained exactly where I had left her earlier.“I need to go back to the office,” was all I told her before grabbing my coat from her chair. I waited for her to reply—the way she always does, always reminding me to take care—but I heard nothing from her. She only gave me a single nod before standing up to head toward the kitchen.When I arrived at the office, Dad was already there, comfortably lounging in the visitor’s chair, so I immediately went to my desk.“What’s the problem, Dad?” I started, asking while fixing some papers scattered across my desk. He wouldn’t just come to the office without a deep, serious reason. Dad trusts me completely when it

Elijah Theodore MartinezEven after arriving at the office, I was still thinking about what Anton had said. As much as I wanted to ask him for medicine just so Eliana could go back to the way she was before, he said there wasn't any, so he couldn't give me anything. He said the only thing I could do right now was to understand her, especially given her condition."You want to have a child, right? Then endure it," I muttered to myself while signing documents at my desk.My attention was drawn back when someone knocked, causing me to instantly stop what I was doing."Yes, you need anything?" I asked Miko upon seeing him. As far as I knew, I didn't have any other meetings today because I had rescheduled all the important ones for next week, so there was no reason for him to come here without me calling for him."Ahm, sir, it’s already lunchtime, aren't you going to eat yet? I was waiting for your call so I could bring your food here, but you didn't call," he explained hesitantly, probably

Elijah Theodore MartinezEliana didn't come home last night. She sent a message saying she would be staying at her family's house instead, so I wasn't surprised that even though I didn't reply to give my permission, she wasn't in her unit when I arrived.Instead of sleeping in my own neighboring unit, I chose to stay in the condo Eliana is currently occupying. Even without her there, her scent lingered throughout the entire place, which somehow calmed my system and eased my exhaustion.Because she wasn't around, I knew no food would be prepared in the kitchen. Even so, I still tried to look for any food she might have made for me earlier, despite knowing it was highly unlikely she would have left anything behind in the unit.But upon opening her fridge, I couldn't help but smile when I spotted a tub containing the adobo she had cooked. I took it out immediately and quickly reheated it while cooking some rice. Luckily, I at least know how to cook rice. Ever since Eliana entered my life

Eliana Grace Herrera"I'm sorry for what I did. I will try to make it up to you." — TheoI repeatedly read the note that came with the flowers delivered to me earlier. I was expecting that Theo had ordered some food for us, so I immediately called Calix and told him that I wouldn't be joining him for lunch today. But what I didn't expect was the bouquet that the delivery guy handed to me.It was only a simple apology letter and a bouquet of pink and white roses from Theo, yet my heart felt as though it wanted to leap out of my chest. Because of that, I slightly flinched when my phone suddenly rang, the caller being the man who had occupied my thoughts all day.I cleared my throat before finally answering the call. "Hello..." I said, trying to sound formal."Do you like it?" the man asked directly. Perhaps he had seen my reaction to the flowers from wherever he was.I found myself nodding, not knowing if he could still see me, before gently smelling the flowers in my hands."Yes, I li

Elijah Theodore MartinezI thought my day would continue to go well after talking to Eliana and, somehow, restoring the good relationship we once had. Even though I know she still feels hurt because of what I did, I'm grateful that she accepted my invitation to have lunch with me. We may not have been sitting together while eating, but I was already happy that, somehow, I was able to share the same lunch break with her and talk to her.I also sent her a bouquet of flowers as an apology. At first, I thought she wouldn't like them, but when I saw the sparkle in her eyes as she held the flowers, I couldn't help but smile as well.However, what should have been a pleasant lunch quickly turned into worry when I heard that Eliana had almost vomited at her table. I was about to stand up and follow her as she hurried to the restroom, but the moment I opened my office door, Rachel greeted me by wrapping her arms around my neck and kissing me without warning.With the company's employees gradua
