The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 90

I know I’m getting a little hostile right now, but Patrick is getting on my fucking nerves by constantly staring at Vanessa.

“I didn’t say you weren’t taking care of her,” he says with a nervous chuckle.

“Then what did you mean by that?” I raise my chin, my forehead creasing.

“I was just saying that she deserves the best.”

“And I’m giving her the best.”

“Obviously, that’s why she’s so happy. I’m sorry if I sounded like I was out of line. I just feel awful up until this day. I just want her to be happy after everything that I put her through.”

“She’s definitely happy with me. I’m sure you can see that.”

“Yes and that’s why she always talks about you when we meet.”

“She does?” I clear my throat, the creases on my forehead fading.

“Yes, she does.” He slightly tilts his head, his gaze a little intense as he smiles. “Honestly, if I could go back in time, I’d do things differently with her and I’d never let her go. Thank the universe that time travel doesn’t exist.”

I can’t tell if he’s being serious right now or if this is supposed to be a joke. If it is, it’s definitely not funny.

The air is thick with tension between us and I don’t want it to carry on, so I change the subject.

“I’m curious about your current love life.”

“No, I haven’t been in a relationship for so many years. I didn’t have the time or energy for it. I didn’t see myself committing to someone when I have so much to work on and I still do.”

“I see.”

“Vanessa has such a big heart. She cares and loves deeply.”

“She does.” I smile a little, thinking about how the children love her so much.

“That’s why she offered to help me and I won’t let this opportunity go to waste.”

“You better not.” I get a little serious.

“She could’ve just let me be with my job the day we met at the orphanage, but she offered to give me a fresh start. I’ve never come across anyone like her. I remember seeing her on TV when she went to the children’s hospital and had a problem with her leg, but she still went around to see everyone.”

I furrow my eyebrows in surprise. “That means you’ve been seeing her around for a while.”

“Of course I have. I just didn’t want to appear before her. I asked myself where I would even start and if she would be nice to me. I guess I was worried for nothing, because here I am now.”

He looks outside again, stroking his chin with delight. I know he’s looking at her but this time, his head movements and eyes slowly change direction and that’s how I know she’s on her way back inside. Doesn’t he care that I’m right here and seeing this? I’d call him out for it, but it’s not like that’ll stop him later on.

Now that I’ve seen him looking at her so lustfully, I have this desire not to leave her alone with him.

“Hey, did I take too long?” she says as she approaches the table.
