The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 636

Allison blinked, her eyes a well of innocence. “Could it be because of me?”

Aaron was momentarily lost for words. He chuckled, “I’ve got a feeling you’re going to be an amazing actress.”

“I’m just getting started, but I’m going to give it my all.”

Hanging out with Aaron was effortless. There were no awkward silences or fumbling for topics. Whenever a lull in the conversation appeared, Aaron skillfully steered them onto something new.

After finishing their meal, they dived into a discussion about the script.

Allison cherished this opportunity and was committed to honing her craft. She practiced her lines religiously in private, working hard to shake the habit of mumbling her words, and she was already showing great improvement.

Aaron offered a few tips on pronunciation. Listening to Aaron’s command of the script, she realized just how wide the gap between them was. His voice was deep, his enunciation crisp, and it brimmed with emotion, perfectly fitting his character.

The night stretched on, and it was nearly dawn when a driver took them back to the hotel where they both stayed.

After a refreshing shower, Allison sprawled out on her bed and grabbed her phone, glancing at Lucian’s message. His profile picture was a cryptic English character set against a stark black backdrop, as cold and impenetrable as the man himself. She bit her lip slightly. Ever since the incident on the cruise ship when he had urged her to cancel the press conference, her heart had plummeted into an abyss.

She often questioned herself, for what purpose?

Nights of restless tossing and turning gave no answers.

She couldn’t fathom why fate was so unjust, why it was so cruel to her alone.

Lucian sided with Penelope.

Grace was Penelope’s biological mother.

And Christopher and Leah...

They doted on Penelope too.

Waking up in the morning, Allison found her pillow damp with tears. Sitting upright, she transferred a large sum to Emma for Grace’s ongoing medical expenses, with the stern instruction that no future issues should reach her. Even if Grace passed away, she didn’t want to know. With that, she put a full stop to this chapter of kinship.

From now on, she was a stranger to these people.

She had no intention of revealing to Leah and Christopher that she was their daughter, because to her, that was an insult.

She didn’t want Leah as a mother.

She was ready to leave it all behind, let them orbit around Penelope. She wanted nothing to do with it.

Nothing at all.

She didn’t just disdain it; she was repulsed by it.

Especially since Leah and Christopher were unworthy of being her parents.
