Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 512

Nikolai, Drake, and the rest waited outside, giving Wiona and Conrad space as they walked deeper into the quiet corridor. When they were far enough in, Conrad slipped his arms around Wiona from behind, holding her tight.

“Did today get to you?” His voice was soft near her ear. “Why didn’t you ever talk to me about any of this?”

Wiona blinked, surprised. Was he… really bringing her here just to comfort her?

“I… I guess I got used to it.” She gave a faint, self-deprecating smile. “These past couple of years, I’ve learned to keep everything bottled up. No matter how hard things get, I just… swallow it and move on. I don’t even tell anyone what I’m going through anymore.”

Conrad turned her around so she faced him. He reached out and pinched her nose, gentle but firm.

“From now on, I want you to promise me something. No matter what happens, don’t carry it all alone. If you’re hurting, I want to know. Wiona, I’ll show you every part of myself, even the messy parts. Don’t shut me out, okay? Remember, I’ll always be the other half of your soul. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. I only care about your happiness.”

Hearing that, it felt like another piece of the wall around her heart crumbled away. Her eyes stung and she had to blink back tears.

Conrad, do you have any idea how good you are at saying all the right things? she thought.

She tried to play it cool, sniffing as she answered, “You’re always busy, and I never have time to dump all my problems on you. Besides, you’re the one who figured out what Taylor was up to. I just assumed you already knew what kind of mess I was in with my professor. So, I didn’t think I needed to bother you with all these little things.”

Conrad rested his hands on her shoulders, his gaze serious.

“Wiona, none of that is little to me. Everything about you matters. So, we’ll take things slow. I know I’ve been too busy lately and not really there for you, not really helping you handle all this. I forgot that life doesn’t wait. I’ll try to do better from now on. I hope you won’t get tired of me.”

Wiona let out a laugh, the last of her tension melting away. She reached up and cradled his gorgeous face in her hands, grinning.

“Tired of you? You’re Conrad Sullivan! Do you know how many people freeze just hearing your name?”

Conrad pouted, feigning hurt. “Then why won’t you use my name to your advantage? No one even knows you’re my wife yet. Do you know how sad and disappointed that makes me? Wiona, am I really that embarrassing?”
