My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Themis’ POV

I couldn’t help but smile as I watched Elisse and Winter having fun with each other.

“They look like sisters, don’t they?” Mr. Wesley whispered to me while we were having some wine.

“That’s exactly what I told them. They look alike. How strange, right?”

Mr. Wesley just nodded with a simple smile. “Thank you for doing this for Winter. For sure, she almost thought no one’s going to remember her birthday since her parents don’t really celebrate it.”

“It was you who had this idea, anyway.”

“That’s not true. I just told you that it would be better if you greet her with a happy birthday, but then you decided to prepare a party for her.”

I smiled. “Actually, one of the reasons why is because Elisse is trying to get Winter’s favor in order for her to be allowed to have her playroom.”

“A playroom?”

“Uh-huh. As you can see, she is still a kid, but she never really experienced playing with the other kids or having toys. Instead, she grew up selling fruits and vegetables. That is why I am asking Winter if we could use the vacant room as Elisse’s playroom.”

“It’s your house, anyway. You can do what you want.”

“And that’s what Winter should never know.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Mr. Wesley and I laughed because of that. I looked at Winter and Elisse again and I suddenly thought of something.

Actually, the two of them are quite the same. They both longed for a family that would treat them like they belong to them. I think it’s actually a good idea to let them be together. For sure they will learn a lot from each other.

“Brother! I think you and Miss Winter should dance!” Elisse suddenly approached me.

“Huh?”

“The two of you should dance!”

I glanced at Mr. Wesley, and he just nodded his head with a smile on his face. I had no choice but approach Winter who was also busy drinking her wine.

“Would you mind dancing with me?”

“W-What?” she was surprised.

I lay my hand in front of her. I thought she would reject me, but then she put her glass of wine on the table and reached for my hand. “Just make sure you won’t embarrass me in front of so many people.”

“I’ll try my best.”

We walked to the center as the music coming from the violin started playing. Everyone started dancing too, and so Winter put her arms around my shoulders while I placed my hands on her waist. That’s the only kind of dance I was good at since our parents used to hold parties in our mansion before.

“The decoration looks incredible. Were you the one who planned this?”

“I already told you Elisse was the one who organized all of this.”

“It’s impossible for a kid to organize this kind of party. But anyway, thank you for this. I really thought no one was going to greet me again. I-It’s not that I want people to greet me during my birthday, I-I’m already used to it. I’m not craving for anyone’s greeting or attention.”

I smiled. “It’s alright. It’s okay if you want people to greet you. It’s your birthday, you deserve to be greeted and celebrated. You don’t have to feel embarrassed.”

“You talk just like that kid. Maybe she’s actually your kid and you’re just hiding it from all of us.”

“How I wish she is. But you are the one who looks exactly like her here. Some people might think she’s your younger sister.”

She rolled her eyes. “I’m Winter Wesley. No one looks like me because I’m the only one.”

“Right. I’ll give that to you since it’s your birthday.”

“And what do you mean by that?! By the way, don’t you still remember what happened that night?”

“What night? Oh, you mean that night we both got drunk? I don’t really remember it, but I’m sure nothing happened between the two of us.”

She raised an eyebrow at me. “And how sure are you? If there is someone who should know if something has happened, it’s me.”

“But I didn’t see any blood stain on the bed sheet the next morning.”

Winter’s eyes widened. She almost fell because she was planning to slap me, but I was able to pull her close to me. “You really are a pervert.”

“I’m just stating the fact.”

“You don’t even know if I’m still a virgin or not, so you can’t really tell. By the way, who’s Belle?”

That shut me up. I knew that happened too.

“Is she your ex-girlfriend? O maybe the wife you’re trying to hide from us? I mean, if she’s a relative, why would you moan her name while you were drunk and while you were kissing me?”

“T-That’s.. uh…”

“I knew it. It’s alright if you don’t tell me who she is. Is she prettier than me?”

“H-Huh?”

“Fine. You don’t have to answer that one, too. But I just want to tell you that you can never see some other girl while you’re still married to me.”

I nodded my head. “I understand.”

We both stopped dancing, and Winter moved away from me. I thought she was already going to leave me there, but then she looked at me again. “You still haven’t forgotten about what I told you before, right? I will make you see that I can seduce any man. And that includes you. Matthew, the time will come when you’re going to head over heels for me. And when that time comes, don’t go crying to me, okay?”

After that, she already left me there and went to her grandfather. I heaved a deep sigh as I watched her. Looks like she won’t stop doing that. I thought I already changed her mind, but it turns out she’s still eager to know all of my secrets.

I should be more careful. I need to protect myself not only from the possibility that Winter might know about my real personality but also from letting her succeed with her plan of seducing me.
