Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 374

He even ate dinner in his room.

Conrad had gone straight to his guest room, and not long after, Wiona heard the unmistakable sound of something shattering. A moment later, Conrad came out as if nothing had happened.

Wiona hurried over, concern written all over her face. “Are you alright?”

She checked him over, head to toe, and only relaxed when she saw he was perfectly fine.

Conrad reached out and patted her head. “What could possibly happen to me in this house?”

“Come on, let’s go back to our room.”

After her shower, Wiona stepped out with a jar of stretch mark cream in her hand. She was planning to wait until Conrad went to shower before sneaking it under her shirt and rubbing it on. But Conrad’s eyes were sharp. He caught sight of the jar immediately.

He’d been lost in thought, staring out the window, but now his attention snapped back to her. “What’s that you’re holding?”

Wiona tried to hide it behind her back. “Just some regular body lotion.”

Conrad gave her a sly smile. “Really? You know, saying nothing is sometimes the same as admitting everything.”

“Alright, fine. It’s stretch mark cream. For my belly,” she admitted, a little embarrassed. “To prevent, you know, the lines.”

Conrad’s eyes lit up, and he wandered over, hands casually in his pockets. “So this is one of those things dads are supposed to help with, right? How could you leave me out of this?”

“Wiona, I’m honestly hurt.”

She could only laugh awkwardly.

They weren’t at the strip-everything-off level of intimacy yet. How was she supposed to handle this? What was she even supposed to say?

Just when Wiona was about to give in, her phone rang.

She picked up without hesitation. “Hello?”

Mason’s voice came through, rushed and anxious. “Boss, something happened!”

“It’s that bastard Florian. He’s back to gambling again!”

“He must’ve lost big, because today he went to Molly’s hometown and tricked her into leaving with him.”

“Now she’s missing. I only found out because her dad called me.”

“Boss, I’m scared Florian sold her!”

The news hit Wiona like a punch in the gut. She slammed her fist down on the bed in frustration.

“Are you sure?”

“Florian was doing fine. I thought he’d cleaned up his act, that he was finally trustworthy. Why would he suddenly go back to gambling?”

“Have you heard anything about what pushed him?”

Mason sounded furious, practically grinding his teeth. “Boss, gamblers never change. Not really. They’re all rotten.”

“Once they get hooked, it’s for life. There’s no escaping it.”

“And I found out his mother’s missing. She’s been gone for a while now.”

“But he doesn’t even care. He’s just been hanging around the casinos all day.”

Wiona’s face grew tense.
