My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Themis’ POV

“I think Winter and her parents haven’t accepted me as a part of the family, yet. But I do understand them. I know it’s not that easy to trust someone so easily, especially because they never met me before.”

“I apologize if ever Winter’s parents say anything bad to you. As you can see, they want the company for themselves. That is why it really hurts their ego to see a stranger. I know it sounds weird, but I don’t even trust my son. That is because I know if he ever takes over the company, he would only use it to fulfill his selfish desires together with his wife.” Mr. Wesley said to me while we were talking inside the office.

I nodded my head. “I see. But you only have him, right? Who else would you take over the company to if not him?”

“To Winter’s husband. That is why I let you take over the role of the president. Winter isn’t really interested in my company, but I know she will find a good man who can do it for her. She has a good heart, and so does her husband.”

“I do hope she finds a good man someday.”

“How I wish that man would be just like you.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

I shook my head and smiled.

“By the way. Did you have any girlfriends back in your house? I mean, you’re already at the right age. And it is impossible for someone like you not to have a girlfriend, right?”

“Actually, I was never been into any romantic relationship. I was not interested in it because I never got to meet any people aside from our men and maids in the house. You know we couldn’t tell anyone we’re still alive.”

Mr. Wesley nodded his head while smiling. “I see. You are just like my granddaughter Winter. She never experiences being in a romantic relationship with someone simply because she’s too picky.”

“I see. I actually think she really has a high standard when it comes to men which I think seems reasonable. All women should have high standards when it comes to choosing someone they want to be with for the rest of their life.”

***

I left Mr. Wesley’s office as soon as we were done talking to each other. He always talks to me just to ask me how I am doing. He is concerned for me, which actually reminds me of my grandfather before. Although I also know I shouldn’t trust anyone.

I was finally done with all the meetings that I have to attend when my phone started ringing. I took my phone out of my pocket to check the person who was calling, but then I only saw an unknown number. Thinking that maybe it was from Winter, I answered it.

“Hello?”

“Hey, beggar.”

I immediately knew who it was from the way she calls me and the way her voice sounded.

“M-Mrs. Wesley?”

“Go here in our house, now. I have something for you to do.”

And because I didn’t want her to yell at me, I immediately answered her. “O-Okay. I’ll be there in a minute.”

“Hurry up!”

I don’t know what is it that she wants me to do, but it somehow makes me nervous. I just hope what isn’t something that would push me to reveal my real identity.

“Drive me to the mall.” Mrs. Wesley immediately said to me as soon as I stepped out of my car.

“H-Huh?”

“What are you still looking for there?! Hurry up and let’s go now!”

That’s when I came back to my senses and so I walked to my car and opened the door for her. I drove her to the mall and I thought that was all that she wants me to do, that is why I got surprised when she suddenly asked me to go inside the mall with her.

She just went to every boutique and grabbed any clothes then throws them at me after. I kept on following her with so many paper bags in my hands. I didn’t even know that she was that excessive buyer when it comes to clothes.

“Hurry up and put them inside the car” she yelled at me when we reached the parking lot.

“Y-Yes, Mrs. Wesley,” I said then we already stepped inside my car. “Are we going home now?”

She looked at me with a raised eyebrow. “Oh, are you tired now?”

“N-No, it’s not like that. I just—

“Let’s go to the supermarket next.”

“Okay.”

I didn’t have any choice but to follow everything that she asked me to do.

I wonder if my mom would also treat me like this if she’s still alive.

Anyway, our mom always reminds us to spend our money only on things that we really need and not on the things that we only want today and throw the next day.

Her and Dad also never gave us something just because we wanted it. They always make sure we work hard for it.
