My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Themis’ POV

I heaved a sigh of relief as soon as Winter left my room. I already started my plan of teasing her back this morning and I could clearly see that it’s working. At first, I hesitated. But then I realized nothing would happen if I just sat still and let her do what she wanted.

“Want me to drive you to your filming site?” I asked her as soon as I saw her outside the mansion.

She obviously got surprised by my voice, but then she immediately looked away.

“You don’t have to. I have my driver, anyway.”

“I see. So, see you later?”

“Okay.”

I smiled at her before stepping into the car. I drove straight to the company and talked to James about the new updates on the people that I asked him to investigate for the past few days. Until now, the progress in our investigation is slow. All the people that we investigated weren’t really involved in the incident.

“Sir, our next subject would be the director of Deighle company. He was at the nearby mall while the incident was happening, but then he also left exactly after the shooting. He also does underground jobs, which helps him to have enough money for himself.”

“I see. I’ll meet him tomorrow.”

“But sir, it has been said that Mr. Deighle never shows himself, even to their biggest investors. He only shows up to intimate family events. That’s how much he values his privacy.”

I nodded my head as I leaned on my swivel chair. “I’ll be in charge of that. I’ll make sure I would be able to see his face and get his trust.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Where’s Winter?” I asked the maids as soon as I came home.

I don’t really get to rest, because even at home I still have to continue my plan for Winter. Anyway, I don’t mind not having any rest as long as it’s for our family. I chose this, and so I need to sacrifice in order to succeed.

“Miss Winter is currently taking a bath in her room, sir. She just arrived a while ago.”

“Okay. I guess I’ll just take a bath for a while too. By the way, can you tell her to wait for me before having her dinner?”

The maid nodded her head with a smile on her face. “Yes, sir..”

“Thanks.”

I went upstairs to my room to take a bath, just like I said, then I went back to the dining room and I immediately saw Winter sitting at the table.

“Hey there.”

She turned her head to me. “The maid told me to wait for you before having my dinner. Is there something you want to tell me? What is it?”

“Oh, yeah. By the way, can I have dinner again with you?”

“Okay. Take your seat and the maids would prepare dinner for us.”

“Thank you,” I said as I sat down beside her.

The maids prepared some food for the two of us, and so we started eating. Winter wasn’t saying anything. She was just eating as if thinking deeply about something at work. That actually made me think if I should continue what I was about to tell her, or maybe I’ll just say it some other time.

“What is it?” Winter asked again.

Fine. I guess I’ll have to say it now.

“I am actually planning to ask you to go somewhere next week. I mean, if you are free?”

That made her stop eating and looked at me. “Go where? What for?”

“You know, we haven’t had our honeymoon yet, so I was wondering if we could celebrate our wedding by going to that place.”

Her eyes widened. “H-Honeymoon?!”

“That’s right. I mean, we’re still a couple. It’s normal for us to have that, right?”

“I-I mean, yeah. But you know, honeymoon is just for newly-wed couples who truly love each other.”

“I know that. But I just want to hang out and have some time alone with you. I hope you can think about it.”

She drank some water as if she was very nervous before responding to me. “Well, okay. Let’s do that. But, can you tell me where are you going to take me?”

“It’s a secret. Actually, I’ve always to go there again. I even promised myself before that if ever I marry someone, I will surely take her there.”

“I’ll just tell my manager about it. I think I can ask for a three day vacation in maximum.”

I nodded my head. “That’s cool. I have also told about the honeymoon to your grandpa, he said we should really enjoy ourselves there.”

“Really? You told him?”

“Uh-huh.”

“I see. Then it’s final. If grandpa said yes, then there is no way I could decline.”

“Okay. I’ll just settle things in the company too, then we’re finally off to go.”

“By the way, are we going to a beach? I need to know, because I might bring the wrong clothes.”

I thought for a while before looking at her again.”Fine, I’ll say it. Yes, it has a beach. A private island.”

“Well then, I should prepare my swimsuit. Also, a lot of sunglasses. By the way, are you sure there won’t be many people who could recognize me there?”

“I already rented the whole island for three days. No other people outside or any other tourists can go there except the two of us, and of course the staffs.”

She just kept nodding her head until we were both done having our dinner.

Yes, I am planning to take her to a private island. Actually, that’s because I am also planning to meet someone there.

For sure Winter is now thinking about so many things about my plan. She’s also probably thinking I rented the private island with her grandpa’s money.

I need her to stop being suspicious of me and hate me at the same time. If that’s the only way to keep my identity safe, then I’ll do it.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
