Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Wife

Back there in grampa Lancaster’s room (grampa is intentionally written without D) something else had been going on, since the old man was aware of the arrival of Diego too. But now that Nathalie had already chosen him as her husband, he could not let Diego to ruin the happiness of his only grand-daughter.

“What do you mean by ‘take her away’ grandpa?”

Lucas was in utter confusion since he had no clue about whatever the old man had been saying, his face showed disbelief. The old man had accidently blurted out the truth in one o as soon s Lucas walked in adn settled himself in the seat.

The old man imminently laughed to change the subject though he realized of his blunder and successfully covered it up.

“I meant to say that it’s been a while you both are married, but due to the circumstances you guys did not get a chance to go anywhere.”

Lucas thought for a moment with his squinted eyes, and stared a the old man with his silver eyes penetrating through his face.

“What!? Why are you staring at me like that, uh?”

The old man confronted him on the stare by throwing his act on Lucas as he glare back and complained.

“Now don’t play innocent in front of me, I know you want to spend some time alone with her, away from here. Don’t you?”

He questioned Lucas, who became dumbfounded by the bold confrontation of the old man.

No doubt they both shared a friendly bond but Lucas had kept his stuff to himself, and the old man’s statement made him wonder if he was really old or had telepathy!?

“I got that, but don’t you think that Nathalie will catch our lie immediately after I go to her and ask about honeymoon?”

Lucas settled back in the chair with a disappointed expression, since his concern was valid too because his sharp wife will catch him on the spot.

“I’m fully aware that someone like you who is an employee here can’t take my lovely granddaughter on a trip,”

The old man suddenly shifted his tone and signalled through his eyes on the laptop which was paced on his desk. Lucas leaned over the desk and saw Nathalie approaching the room, he gasped the new situation an kept quiet.

Of course to expose his identity even accidently was a big no, no!

“But as I want my child to be happy, I will grant you some money to take her on a trip since you both deserve to be left alone for a while.”

The old man saw that she had reached nearby the door and thus raised his voice for Nathalie to hear the conversation.

Whereas Lucas smiled like a fool seeing how the old man had been helping them both. He lifted his both hands up and gave him a thumbs up.

-.-.-.-.-

Whereas outside the room Nathalie had been undergoing through various emotions in one single day. At first it was Diego’s arrival which scared the hell out of her, then it was Lucas who wanted to take her on a trip.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

‘So, this is why grandpa had called him. He wants us to leave the country for a while, it means he is aware that Diego has arrived.’

Nathalie had concluded the whole situation but perhaps Lucas was the only person unaware of the truth.

‘I have to talk to grampa, yes.’

She knocked the door and without waiting for the permission she walked inside, however she kept her expressions as normal as she could.

“Err, grampa,”

She glanced at Lucas with shyness which overcame her in that moment after recalling that they both had been sleeping together, though they did not have sex yet since Lucas wanted to tell her about himself first.

“I want to talk with you about something. Can I have my gramps spare for a moment, honey?”

Nathalie looked at Lucas as if she had been asking the permission, while the old man chuckled and tease her.

“Haha, are you jealous, my child? We spend a lot of time together and get along with each other really well.”

His words burnt something within her that Nathalie tucked her arms on her chest and glared at both men.

“As if I am!

She pouted and Lucas stood up from the chair and walked towards her with a loving gaze.

“Okay, there is no need to flare up the nostrils. You can have grandpa all to yourself, you little angry bird.”

He gave her a head pat and walked out by closing the door.

“Grandpa, why is he here? Did you call Diego here?”

She burst out her frustration on him but within a whisper, since she did not want the word to get out of the room.

“No, I didn’t. I’m equally surprised that why is he here after you rejected his proposal.”

The old man thought for a moment but nothing came to his mind.

“Someone is using him, Nat. But Diego is not the kind of man, who could be lured that easily. We have to prepare for the worst, Nathalie.”

Grandpa Lancaster only knew that Nathalie had rejected his proposal, which was the truth.

But the remaining half truth was still in the shadows!

“That’s what I am fearing, grampa. Who could it be? nd what do you think, is Diego going to attack us now for revenge?”

She placed her utmost fear in front of him while the old man shrugged, and a silence fell in the office room.

On the other hand Lucas was back in his room equally confused.

“Why is that brat back now? Nat refused him for marriage then for what is he back for?”

Of course the marriage rumor about Nathalie and Diego had been circulating on the media, how could Lucas not know!?

He rattled out his phone and called his secretary.

“They both are hiding something from me, I have to find out with whom Diego has been meeting now a days.”

No wonder he had seen their worrisome faces.

“No matter what, I can’t lose Nathalie at any cost!”

His eyes shone with determination.

But what are your guesses as readers? What is going to happen?
