Last Life, I Divorced Him and He Became a Billionaire. This Life, I’m Keeping the Billionaire Chapter 05
But I didn’t care.
In the days that followed, I did nothing but attend classes and bring food to Hudson.
My belly grew bigger each day, and my clothes grew looser.
I started learning to wear natural makeup, my long hair falling over my shoulders, my pregnancy glow becoming more obvious by the day.
Men were visual creatures.
Hudson’s gaze toward me grew softer and softer.
One day, after finishing his soup, he put his arms around me. “Honey.”

a Louis Vuitton.”
Hudson chuckled lowly, “Alright. I’ll buy it for you. I’ll transfer the money to your account tomorrow.”
Two people with completely hidden motives yet looking oddly warm together.
The next day, I took the hundred thousand dollars Hudson had sent and went to a jewelry store.
There, I ran into Caspian again.
His wife must have passed away. He looked drained.
He stared blankly at a diamond ring lost in thought
The shop assistants exchanged nervous glances and didn’t dare speak
I walked over and pointed at the ring. “Excuse me, could you take this out for this gentleman to try on
Caspian finally looked up. He looked slightly surprised.
“What are you doing here?”
