The Billionaire Heir Fell for the Wrong Girl (Hathaway Whitmore) novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113

Hathaway got up at seven this morning and was at the office by eight

The racing competition had already wrapped up, so she really didn’t have any reason to keep ining the trek

“Are you feeling better now?” Avery asked as soon as he walked into the office. If it weren’t for

have known you signed up for the race. What’s going on?

Hathaway replied calmly. “It’s nothing I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, so I didn’t go

Avery understood why she dropped out because she wasn’t feeling well, and he thought it made sen

online was saying Hathaway couldn’t measure up to Jessica, and that’s why Jeremiah broke off the engagement

Avery frowned and asked, “Isn’t there a saying that you shouldn’t fight a battle you can’t win? If you really wear to the rate did you think you could actually beat Jessica?”

Of course not, Hathaway thought..

She shook her head.

She never intended to join the race in the first place. It was a convenient excuse to get some early practice

After all, the folks at the top are all seasoned pros, hard to fool and quick to catch on

If she made the slightest mistake, they’d start suspecting her intentions.

If they ever found out she was saving people to cozy up to the big shots, she’d probably end up being hauled off and poked like some lab rat.

No matter how others mocked her, Hathaway couldn’t care less. All that mattered to her was what tomorrow would bring “Don’t go doing anything reckless like that again,” Avery said, sounding a bit helpless. He couldn’t resist teasing her, “Honestly, it’s a good thing you didn’t actually race. If you had, I bet you would’ve ended up dead last.

“How are you feeling today? What did the doctor say?”

“I’m fine now.” Hathaway had her excuses ready, had a legit hospital record for her stomach issues.

She had to make it look real.

Avery let out a sigh of relief and was about to leave when Hathaway suddenly grabbed his arm. Avery, no matter how mil trouble I got

into or how many mistakes I made, you always looked out for me.

“You couldn’t bring yourself to punish or yell at me. Now that we’re grown up, will you still protect me like you used to

“Of course, Avery replied.

“Promise me!” Hathaway’s eyes glinted with mischief as she pushed her luck, acting more spoiled. You have to promise! Promise you’ll never get mad at me, no matter what I do, even if I really mess up.”

“Silly girl, do you really need me to promise that?” Avery said.

Hathaway’s eyes turned into two sweet little crescent moons as she grinned. “Alright, remember, you said it!”

Killian walked in to report on work and caught the scene, watching quietly with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He only

stepped forward, looking more serious, once the siblings noticed him

After Hathaway finished talking to him, she said, “From now on, if Im not around go to Memory for dowry

Killian remembered she’d been out sick yesterday, so he figured she meant whenever he was on leave fe of it and replied, “Okay”

The next day, Sylvia watched Hathaway standing in front of the altar for ages and asked softly, a bit puzzle Wh standing here so long today?”

Hathaway lowered her eyes and gave a soft smile. “I wanted to talk to Dad a little longer

After finishing her prayers, Hathaway made her way to the living room and saw Celeste sitting quietly on the sofa She hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked over and sat down beside her.

“Celeste, Avery’s pretty average, you know? Nothing about him really stands out. So what made you fall for him back Hathaway asked.

Compared to someone like Calvin, who commands attention wherever he goes. Avery really was well, kind of ordinary in comparison.

Celeste smiled softly, her eyes gentle and sincere. “Being with Avery feels so steady and comfortable. Some guys might be super handsome or impressive, but there’s this chill about them that keeps you at arm’s length.

“But Avery’s not like that. He’s warm, soft-hearted, and genuinely sincere. He looks reliable, and you can’t help but want to stick around him.”

Hathaway listened quietly, a gentle glimmer of envy appearing in her eyes

She sighed softly. Turns out Avery really is that lucky.”

Mimicking Avery’s usual gesture, Hathaway gently placed her hand on Celeste’s slightly rounded belly

No one understood better than Hathaway how dangerous it was to save someone from a car crash. There were countless nights when she thought about giving up.

Every time she remembered the little life growing inside Celeste, even if it meant risking everything for her unborn nephew or niece, she knew she had to grit her teeth and push through, no matter how tough or dangerous it got.

With that in mind, Hathaway quickly grabbed her phone and set a reminder. “Celeste, when the alarm goes off, no matter what you’re doing, stop and call me, okay? Promise?”

The reminder was for thirty minutes from now.

Celeste suddenly felt a knot in her stomach, worry clouding her eyes. “Hathaway, what are you going to do

Celeste couldn’t help but feel Hathaway was acting differently today.

Hathaway stood up. “Really, it’s nothing big, Celeste, something I should’ve taken care of a long time ago Everything’s unifer control, so don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”

She went upstairs to her room and tucked the safety hammer she’d prepared into her bag

If the car door got mangled in the crash, she could always smash the window and make her escape She also grabbed a bottle of hydrating mist and a couple of sheet masks.

If her skin ended up burned, at least she could try to do some damage control.
