Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Mason was unusually serious, so I tilted my head slightly, observing the expression on his face.

His eyes were dark as he stared at Ash. His expression might have been neutral, but his gaze was intense. I knew his eyes were saying something else, something I couldn't quite understand. "That's good."

Instead of being affected by Mason's intense stare, Ash smiled and placed his hand on my face, stroking it before moving his hand to my stomach. "Because she's pregnant, Mason. You need to take care of her while I'm gone."All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"Ash!" I shouted his name, but he just winked at me.

I had already told him earlier about this. That we should make sure I was really pregnant by going to a doctor, not just relying on a pregnancy test. But now he's already telling my brother!

Because of that, Mason's grip on my wrist tightened, and I winced in pain. If he hadn't noticed, he probably wouldn't have loosened his hold on me. He didn't say anything after that. He just pulled me towards the car without speaking to me.

Mason didn't shout at me or scold me, and that's what made me nervous because I couldn't read his mind.

"Why are you so grumpy, Mason?" Evangeline asked from the passenger seat.

I hadn't noticed her earlier because the front seat was so large. If she hadn't peeked at me, I wouldn't have known anyone was sitting there. "What did you do, Jade?" she asked as she applied some hand sanitizer. "Do you know how hard it is to deal with him when he's in a bad mood?"

She turned her gaze back to Mason. "Geez, just don't take your anger out on me, and we'll be fine."

Mason started the engine as he replied, "She's pregnant with Ash's child. He told me earlier-what the fuck, Rose!"

Mason swore repeatedly when Evangeline sprayed the sanitizer in his face. It seemed like some of it got into his eye, so he closed them, unsure of what to do, while Evangeline froze after hearing the news. "It's not 100% confirmed," I told them. "We'll see a doctor to make sure, but for now, we're focusing on the upcoming graduation."

And I'll also think more deeply about my plans.

Having our child means I'll need to adjust some of my plans, but that doesn't mean I'll stop pursuing my dreams. If time hinders my plan to live the life I want, then I'll create my own timeline.

"I'll kill you once we get home, Evangeline Rose Varlett," Mason told her, but Evangeline ignored his threat.

As Mason recovered from the pain in his eye, he drove the car. Evangeline, on the other hand, was just staring at me. I couldn't see any emotion in her eyes except for shock.

I thought she'd be angry at me because I know how much she likes Ash, even now that I'm his girlfriend.

But she did something unexpected.

"Congratulations," she mouthed.

Even though I was surprised, I smiled before looking out the window.

What a kind witch.

"You don't follow what I tell you, but just one word from your boyfriend, and you listen?" Mason started a new topic while driving.

I wonder if we're close to his house or not, and I wonder why he's suddenly talking to me now, even though he was so upset with Ash and me earlier.

"Why, are you my boyfriend?" I shot back at him before crossing my arms and raising an eyebrow.

And of course, if he has the right to be grumpy, then I do too. I'm still a Parker, after all.

"You really are siblings," Evangeline muttered as she adjusted her lipstick. It seemed she had already moved on from the news she had just discovered. "What is Ash going to do there?" I asked, suddenly remembering him as we left the house.

I was worried about him, but like I said earlier, I trust him.

"Deal with the devil, I guess?" Mason replied with a shrug.

BACK TO Sapphire's house, Ash immediately ran toward the house as soon as Sapphire left with Mason. He didn't even bother to knock or anything. Ash remembered the mission Silver had told him way back then.

"I want you to kill the illegitimate child," Silver commanded when he came to the room where Ash was studying.

"Pardon?" Ash asked back, not immediately grasping what his father had said.

Instead of answering, Silver placed a photo in front of him.

"Evangeline Rose Varlett," said Silver. "That's Mason Parker's illegitimate sister. Our people already confirmed it, and now it's your turn to do the job."

Ash frowned at his father's order. Of course, he knew her. She liked him and was often around him, along with Haze and Mason.

But he couldn't kill her, despite his father's order. And more than that... he couldn't kill anyone.

Because the same thing had happened with his cousin, who was so close to him. He wouldn't make the same mistake.

Remember that, Ash was afraid that Silver might have already done something terrible to Sapphire's parents, and he knew that Sapphire would curse his father if that happened. But things didn't turn out the way he expected...

"Dad..." Ash called his father softly as he lay on the floor, blood pooling around his mouth.

There was a man on top of him, delivering another punch before turning to face Ash.

Ash didn't need to ask his name to know who he was. He knew it was Sapphire's stepfather, Randall. Sapphire had told him about him before.

"You and your father are both scumbags for messing with the lives of the three of us," Randall said in rage as he delivered another punch to Ash's father.

Ash winced at the sight.

He was about to approach, but Silver immediately looked at him and shook his head. His father's orders could not be defied.

Despite wanting to help him, Ash remained standing there until Randall had enough of beating him.

The only thing Ash couldn't understand was why his father allowed himself to be hurt.

'Is there another reason why he's here?' Ash wondered as he looked at his father, who, despite being badly beaten, still managed to smile and give him a thumbs-up.

"Are you happy now?" Silver asked Randall with a smile, his hands still gripping Randall's collar. "You can give me one last punch if you want. But this will be the last one." Blood immediately spilled from Silver's mouth when Randall suddenly punched him, though he wasn't surprised. It was harder than the previous punches he had received. Randall had thrown many punches at him, but with the last punch, everything seemed to spin for Silver.

Instead of getting angry, he was amazed.

'Randall has potential,' Silver told himself as he closed his eyes. The punch had an impact on his vision, so he needed to do that. "Dad!"

"Stop right there, Ash!" Silver commanded authoritatively, causing Ash to step back.

Ash didn't like what he was seeing, but there was nothing he could do. He knew how good Silver was at fighting. He just couldn't understand why he let himself get beaten until his lip was split. But Silver had his own reasons.
