MARRIED TO THE HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE

Matilda became alert at the sound of what she just heard, and she rushed towards Skyler. “Are you okay?” She looked worried as she stared at her.

Skyler bit her lips hard, her stomach hurt but she didn’t want to tell anyone so she came up with a lie.

“My fingers, I burnt my fingers by accident” she lied.

“You burnt your fingers? How come? I thought you were putting on a hand glove?” Matilda tried taking her hands but she pulled back.

“It got burnt somehow but don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine after a little ice ” As Skyler talked, she walked to the fridge to get some ice cubes.

When she was done, she began leaving the stopper after two steps and turned back.

“Please don’t tell Mason I burnt my fingers, don’t even tell him I was here, I don’t want him to get mad” She looked at Matilda with a pleading eye.

Matilda still looked worried for her but could only just nod and watch Skyler leave. She looked at the wasted fish on the floor and shook her head.

It was a pity that such good food was wasted.

MASON’S ROOM★

The running tap of the water could be heard as Skyler took water from the tap in her hands and washed her face thoroughly.

Thankfully her stomach pain was gone.

“It’s just four days and I’ll finally tell Mason that I’m pregnant again, I can do this,” she said to her reflection in the mirror before leaving the bathroom.

To her surprise, Mason was in the room already, he was unbuttoning his shirt and losing his tie.

“You’re back” She checked the time, it was just seven pm, it was a little early for the typical Mason to leave his office.

“I had to be here. Grandpa kept calling me nonstop, he said that Ivy’s boyfriend, I don’t think I know his name but he’s coming over for dinner” he creased his brows.

“Blake and Ivy were excited about it” Skyler gave him a type of smile but she noticed his face suddenly changed to a frown.

“What’s wrong?” She asked with a confused look at the sudden change in facial expression.

“How come you even know his name?” He mumbled.

Skyler’s eyes widened, was he jealous because she mentioned another man’s name?

“Don’t tell me you’re getting jealous of Ivy’s boyfriend ” She couldn’t help but chuckle.

“I only like it when you call my name, it rolls out sexily from your tongue” he replied.

“Mason, you’re crazy,” Skyler chuckled.

“Crazy about you beautiful” he smiled and moved closer to her then held her by the waist.

Skyler smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck and he gave her a short peck.

“Look at your face, you look stressed these days, is the sales party doing this to you? You know you can always ask me for assistance” he said softly.

“I’m fine you’re fine you don’t have to worry and I can do it on my own too, everyone will be doing theirs themselves” she pouted her lips as she replied.

Mason smiled and pecked her again.

“I love your beautiful attitude, I feel so lucky to marry such a hard-working woman like you and I owe you a surprise if you perform well in the party,” he said with a smile.

“Oh, can’t wait” she gave him a devious smile.

A knock sounded on the door, interrupting the both of them.

“Who is it?” Mason asked tiredly.

“Butler sir, your grandpa said I should you and your wife downstairs, the dinner is about to start” the butler spoke with his usual British accent.

“I’ve heard you” Mason frowned and fading footsteps could be heard, the butler already left.

Mason sighed tiredly and Skyler suddenly remembered something.

“Mason, your face will get exposed to someone new, are you okay with that?” She gave him a curious look.

“It’s fine, he might have seen my face before anyway” Mason rolled his eyes.

“He might have seen your face before. When?” Skyler muttered to herself with a short reason on why she didn’t know that she couldn’t remember any of these.

“It was Ivy’s launch party, you were unwell at that time” he cleared her thoughts and she nodded, understanding everything now.

“We should go downstairs, let me get you a T-shirt” She walked to his closet brought out his black shirt, and showed him.

“Why this shirt of all shirts” he gave her a curious look.

“Because it makes you look sexy, put it on” Skyler threw the shirt on him and Mason could only just shake his head as he wore it.

If his woman thinks he looks sexy in this particular type of cloth then why shouldn’t he look sexy for her?

Back to the living room, Ivy held Blake’s hands as they walked into that living room.

“Your house is quite huge” he muttered as he looked around. This would be the first time he was stepping foot in the Delgado mansion.

“I know right? It has existed since the existence of my great great great grandfather, all the first sons of the Delgados will inherit this mansion and renovate it to any style they want” she explained to him.

“Wow” Blake felt impressed with all that he just heard.

“Let’s go to Grandpa’s study, he’s always there” She held his hands and was about to make him cry when she saw that old man sitting on the couch and talking to Dylan.

“Great even my dad is there, we’ll just greet the both of them, come on” She held his hands and pulled him over to them.

“Dad and grandpa, Blake is here” She held his hand and pulled him closer to them.

Dylan only looked at him from head to toe without saying anything but the old man was quite different, he was easy to see how this guy was.

“Good even Mr. Mario Delgado, it’s a really big honor to finally meet you,” Blake stretched his hands out.

Grandpa Mario accepted the handshake.

“Ivy told me you’re into calligraphy so I brought you one of the best homes” he opened his suit jacket and brought out a folded paper then passed it to the old man.

The old man collected it and opened it. He looked impressed with the writings he saw there.

“Who wrote this? They are really good and is this a new type of brush or ink, it’s nice” he nodded as he stared at it.

Ivy couldn’t help but grin ear to ear, she was glad that her grandpa was blending with him.

Finally, everyone was sitting in the dining room. Matilda just dropped the last bowl of the dish and then gave a respectful bow to them before leaving.

“I’m sure everyone here knows Blake Andrews, he is a popular actor and also my boyfriend. ” Ivy started with a smile.

“I don’t know him” Mason replied and Blake stared at Ivy with a smile.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s okay if you don’t know me but I’m honored to be in your sister’s life, I promise to give her the best treatment” he flashed a smile at Mason.

Mason looked at him but didn’t bother smiling back.

“Gosh Mason, this is your sister’s boyfriend we are talking about here! You don’t have to show everyone your cold side” Maya rolled her eyes at Mason but he looked like he didn’t care.

“Blake dear, I hope Ivy is not getting you fed up with her character. She can be a handful sometimes” Maya gave Ivy a knowing look.

“Mom!!” Ivy pouted.

“I thought this was family’s dinner, why do we have to stay and watch Ivy and her boyfriend steal the table?” Edna finally said something and she looked annoyed as she complained.

“You’re just jealous of me in everything. It’s not my fault that guys are afraid to ask you out, you’re horrible” Ivy smirked and the old man cleared his throat.

She scoffed and kept her mouth closed.

“Hey Blake, can we take a picture together after this? I’m a big fan of all your movies” Carson asked.

“Sure,” Blake replied with a smile.

“I came prepared, help me sign this” Hudson brought out a small book and pen from his pocket and then passed it to Hudson.

“The dining room has no autograph room, how about doing all these after dinner,” Rosa said.

“Aunt Rosa is right” Skyler seconded and Hudson pouted as he withdrew his book and pen.

And the dinner kept going on.
