Billionaire's Pregnant Ex-wife novel Chapter 110

Grey said nothing.

I expected he would snap and lash out at me for keeping the truth from him all this time, but his silence was the reaction I didn’t expect. The lack of reaction on his handsome face filled my chest with tension. I would rather see him angry and furious than see that blank expression on him.

I held my breath, waiting for him to say something, but even after a minute passed, he didn’t open his lips. The only sound I could hear was the hum of the monitor and the thunderous sound of my heartbeat as I prayed he would express how he felt.

Please speak… Get mad at me… Lash out at me… Those were the words I wanted to tell him, but I couldn’t let them escape my lips.

The silence that seemed to go on forever was shattered when he finally opened his lips. “Why did you keep the truth from me, Lily?”

His achingly soft voice left a sting in my heart. I bit my lower lip, folded my hands in my lap, and kept the tears from falling down my cheeks as I replied, “It was the best thing I could do… You have a wife, and I thought she was pregnant with your child.”

“I’m not the father of Natalia’s child. It’s my stepbrother,” he quietly told me, his intent gaze locked on mine. “From the very start, I knew the child was not mine. We were never intimate. She tried seducing me more than a dozen times while we were married, but she’d never succeeded.” He explained.

“I just discovered that the child wasn’t yours after hearing it from your stepbrother. But the thing is, Natalia is your wife, and I chose not to tell you the truth because I thought you wouldn’t want a daughter.”

“I wanted a child, Lily. I wanted Isabelle,” Grey replied. His hazel–green eyes were filled with emotions as they stared back at me. “At first, after I thought Dylan died, I wanted to have a son because I still couldn’t accept he was gone. I was crazily thinking that if we had

another son, the pain and emptiness after losing him would simply disappear. However, it was foolish of me to even think that because I will never forget our son. He was irreplaceable.” He paused, took a deep breath, then continued. “Then I met Isabelle, and the first time I saw her, I thought she was the most adorable, sweet little baby I’d ever seen. Instantly, I wished she was my daughter without knowing the truth that she is indeed

I swallowed the lump in my throat and stared down at my lap, where my fingers were now clasped together. Grey caught my chin and gently raised it until I was looking into his

“I can feel that there’s still another reason why you kept the truth from me. Be honest with me, Lily… Tell me the other reason why,” he urged gently.

Taking a deep breath, I pushed my inhibitions aside and decided to tell him the truth. “Because I hated you,” I told him without stuttering. I hated you back then because I

thought you ruined my life, not knowing that it was Natalia, Elizabeth, and Ash who were trying to ruin our lives.

“Still, you should have told me earlier that Isabelle is my daughter. When did you find out you were pregnant?” he asked.

“Just months after Natalia kidnapped me, shot me, and pushed me into the sea. It was a miracle I survived the ordeal–so did my child, which I still wasn’t aware I carried. I found my real family, and they brought me to Europe to start a new life.”

Unable to hold his gaze any longer, I looked away.

“I’m sorry for keeping the truth from you, Grey,” I said in a barely audible whisper as a tear slid down my cheek. “We are divorced–and I thought we were–and I told myself it wouldn’t matter if you didn’t know the truth. But then what happened tonight took place, and I realized how cruel I’ve been for keeping the truth, especially after realizing that you’re also a victim of Ash, Natalia, and Elizabeth.”

He gently wiped the tears from my cheeks. “I don’t hate you, Lily, even after you kept the

truth from me….I couldn’t hate you at all. I just want to tell you that we both made mistakes. I’m sorry for what I did to you, above all for hurting you, and in return, I forgive you too. Let’s not dwell on the past anymore. It cost us a lot of pain we didn’t deserve, but it made us stronger than we were yesterday, and we became who we are today. From now on, we must focus on our children. We need to make up for the time we weren’t together, especially with Dylan. We must make him feel loved and cared for after what he’s been

through at the hands of Ash and Natalia.”

Grey said nothing more. Instead, he pulled me into his arms. I gently laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, savoring the feeling of his warm, comforting body pressed against mine.
