MARRIED TO THE HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE

When Skyler denied being sick, person didn’t buy it..”No, you’re sick, you’re burning up!”

“I’m fine, just tired” she muttered.

“Is it because of the sales party? Is it giving you too much stress?” He placed his hands on her forehead again when he asked.

“It’s not it” Skyler immediately denied.

She knew how Mason was, he might stop her from joining the competition because of her health but she didn’t want that.

“Beautiful…”

“I’m serious Mason it’s not it, I will be fine tomorrow, I promise” She gave him a pleading look.

“What have you eaten since morning?” He asked and she shook her head.

“Nothing?” He widened his eyes.

“I didn’t have the appetite and I don’t want to go out, I don’t want Grandpa to know I’m sick” she muttered.

“Fine, I’ll go downstairs and get you some soup, hold on” he leaned closer to her and kissed her forehead before leaving the room.

“Why are Mason, Sky, and Edna not coming down for dinner?” Grandpa Mario asked while the families were having dinner together.

Dylan and Antonio were present but as usual, they were always in their ghost mood once it comes to family affairs except it’s about business.

“Grandpa, Mason, and Skyler are married and are deeply in love with each other, they should be our least concern” As Hudson finishes making that statement, Mason comes down, giving him a kind of look.

“Mason, why didn’t you come down with Sky?” The old man asked with his eyes narrowed.

“Today’s hectic for her so she’s tired and can’t get out of bed. I came here to bring some soup to her” he replied.

“Ha! See what I was telling you, Grandpa, they did something that’s why Skyler can’t stand up from her bed, I think we should be expecting our newest Delga-”

Hudson couldn’t complete what he was saying because Ivy took a drumstick turkey and shoved it into his mouth.

“You can take this soup, it’s Skyler’s favorite,” she pointed to the second pot of soup.

“Let me help her dish it” Maya immediately took a plate and dished some soup in. “I also added some catfish because the soup goes well with fish” Maya forced a smile.

“And Skyler loves catfish very much too” Ivy butt in with a cute smile.

Mason just carried it.

“And when she’s better, please work on giving us a new Delgado so I wouldn’t be the youngest that everyone gets to pick on,” Carson said and when Mason gave him a type of look, he only smiled in return.

Mason left.

“Geez, doesn’t he know how to vibe with us? How do Skyler even cope?” He couldn’t help but ask himself.

“Because Skyler is a queen” Ivy shrugged her shoulders and the table agreed except for Maya and the two unbothered men.

“So what of Edna?” The old man asked again.

“I don’t know about her Grandpa, she did something wrong, especially to Skyler and instead of trying to make up for her mistake, she’s keeping malice with everyone and acting like we hurt her and owe her an apology” Ivy rolled her eyes.

“Edna is a proud person, she’s mad because you won best red carpet dress and hottest woman in LA because of her mistake and her ego is too strong to make her admit to herself that she was wrong,” Hudson said.

“And she was also used as a funny meme” Carson added and it started up a laughter.

“That’s enough!” The old man shut them up and they turned quite immediately.

“If it’s that way then when she’s ready to admit to her mistake, she will be forgiven” he added.

MASON’S ROOM★

Mason arrived with the soup.

“Beautiful, I brought your favorite fish soup,” he said softly as he sat on the edge of the bed beside her.

Skyler immediately blocked her nose and took her face away.

“What’s wrong? It’s catfish soup” Mason narrowed his eyes.

“I don’t like the way it smells,” she replied.

“But it’s your favorite” he gave her a surprised look.

“I just don’t like the way it smells today,” she complained.

Mason thought she was playing so he came to the other side of the bed and took a spoonful of the soup.

“At Least you should eat a little even if it’s a spoon” he put the spoon close to her mouth and she acted like she wanted to puke.

However Mason kept trying and she did something that surprised him next, she slapped the soup away from his hands and it poured on the bed.

Mason stared at the bed and her face, she looked a little sorry.

“I didn’t mean to do that, I just don’t want to eat,” she said slowly.

“But haven’t eaten since morning, at least eat something, what do you want? Even if it’s impossible, I will get it for you” he pleaded with her.

“Fine, I’ll eat some Chinese noodles,” she said.

“We don’t have that here,” he replied.

“But you said you’d get it for me and that’s what I want!” She frowned at him.

Mason gave her a look before nodding, he took off his suit and changed into a hoodie and joggers before stepping out of the room.

When he got down again, he walked past all of them and they gave him a confused look.

“Where is he going?” Ivy asked.

“I don’t know,” Hudson shook his head.

After thirty minutes, Mason came back with a nylon as he climbed back on the stairs, giving the family a confused look again.

“Where is he coming from?” Ivy asked for the second time.

“I still don’t know,” Hudson shook his head.

•••

Mason was glad that going out to get some Chinese noodles for his wife was worth it because she was eating.

“I’m full,” she muttered after taking one more spoon from him.

Mason nodded and kept it to one side. He lifted her from the bed and made them stay on the couch as he cleaned the bed and changed the duvet.

Skyler only watched him with a smile, she admired the effort he put to make her comfortable.

When he was done, he stood in front of her and took off his hoodie which made her crease her brows but she gave it to her instead.

“You should put this on instead, it will make you feel warmer” he stretched it over to her.

Skyler smiled and collected it then put it on, he carried her up again, placed her on the bed, laid beside her, and hugged her closer to himself.

“Good night beautiful” he kissed her forehead.

“Good night handsome” She smiled and hugged him tighter before closing her eyes and drifting to sleep.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

NEXT MORNING★

Skyler was the first to wake up because she didn’t feel too good. The sudden urge to throw up kept hitting her and she couldn’t resist.

She stood up from the bed and rushed to the restroom then vomited her guts out on the WC toilet.

When she was done, she raised her mouth and face with tap water before staring at her reflection in the mirror.

She looked sick but while staring at her face, she suddenly gasped when she realized something.

She began counting her fingers.
