Unwanted Fake Wife The Top Billionaire novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233 What He Won’t Say

“Anything else… oh, wait, yeah, there is something.”

Sophia suddenly perked up, clapping her hands once in realization, which startled Elena slightly.

“What is it?” Elena asked.

“Well, I told you before, right? He grew up out in the countryside until he was about ten before coming back. Back then, his health wasn’t great. He got sick pretty easily. But by the time he returned to the Kingsley family, he was already completely fine.”

She tilted her head. “Why? Did something happen?”

Elena fell silent.

That didn’t match what she had seen last night.

So Sophia didn’t know either.

“It’s nothing,” Elena said after a moment. “I was just asking.”

Sophia nodded. “If you’re curious, you should just ask him directly. You’re married. There shouldn’t be anything you can’t talk about.”

That simple statement hit harder than it should have.

Even Sophia understood that.

They were married. There shouldn’t be secrets.

And yet, he hadn’t told her Fiona had come back.

“Alright, you can go,” Elena said.

Sophia didn’t ask further and left the office.

Elena poured herself a cup of water and sat down, thinking everything through.

She wasn’t someone who liked to overthink things or spiral.

So she simplified it. She needed to talk to Alexander about Fiona.

And tonight would be the perfect opportunity. She could ask him out to dinner and clear things up.

She picked up her phone and called him.

He answered quickly.

“What’s up?”

There was noise in the background, and a calm, professional female voice speaking, reporting something.

“It’s nothing. I’m having dinner with Chloe tonight. If you’re busy, don’t worry about picking me up. I’ll head back on my own.”

“Alright.”

He didn’t interfere. “Have fun.”

His tone was neutral, almost distant.

Elena didn’t say anything else. She ended the call and immediately called Chloe to set up dinner.

It had been a while since the situation with Graham, and Chloe seemed to be doing much better.

The moment she found out Elena was pregnant, she started piling food onto her plate without hesitation. “Eat more. Seriously. We are not starving my future goddaughter.”

Elena laughed. “How are you so sure it’s a girl? It could be a boy.”

“I’m hoping she takes after you. If it’s a boy, he’s definitely going to be like Alexander… and honestly? Your husband kind of intimidates me.”

Chloe grinned, then added casually, “By the way, where is he tonight? Just letting you go out alone like this?”

She noticed immediately when Elena’s smile faded.

Chloe’s expression changed. “Okay, what happened?”

Elena didn’t hide anything this time. She told her everything she had been thinking.

The moment she finished, Chloe slammed her hand on the table. “That’s a fail. No, actually, that’s worse

than a fail.”

Elena laughed despite herself. “Didn’t you say he was great before?”

“That was before. He knows Fiona has feelings for him, and he still let her come back? Fine, maybe it’s work–related, but the real issue is he didn’t tell you. If there’s no honesty in a marriage, what’s the point?”
