Billionaire, Let's Divorce! novel Chapter 404

DENNIS

My hands idly stroked her hair and bare arm, a lazy smile on my face as I looked down at her sleeping form snuggled against me. Clad in my sleeveless t-shirt, one that I had just helped her back into a few minutes ago, she looked like the sexiest woman on earth.

The peace I felt right now, the calm, the contentment and happiness… it could continue to be like this. Infact, I'll make sure things continue to be like this. I'd make everything perfect again.

I'll do everything in my power to bounce back on my feet with my finances. Losing such an amount to swindlers would not be my downfall. My bars have potential. They get flooded everyday. I'd make back that money and even more. Then, we can move to another country. There, we can live peacefully without the bother of an ex or anyone.

I was wondering what country Ana would prefer when I felt my phone vibrate from wherever I had discarded it. I felt around the bed for a while before my hand finally landed on it. I grabbed it and held it up over my face.

It was a message notification. It was a text for my first appointment at Tabitha’s church.

I frowned as my eyes slid up to the top of the screen to check the time. Why does it have to be so late?

I almost pouted. I didn't want to leave Ana yet. I loved this position we were in but if I want things to get better, I'd need to go.

I placed a kiss on her cheeks. Then I carefully untangled myself from her. I successfully did so without waking her up.

Climbing off the bed,I grabbed my phone and made my way to the closet to get ready. I took a quick bath then I donned the first tee and slacks that I found.

I was about to step out the door when I heard shuffling behind me, followed by a soft moan as she yawned.

“Dennis?“

I turned back to her with a smile. “Hey babe.“

She groggily blinked at me and just watched me for a while. Then she asked, “Where are you going?“

I turned back to fully face her. “It’s some urgent work,“ I said smoothly. “It won't take long.“

She nodded as she wrapped her arms around herself. “Okay. Call me when you get there, okay?“

“Sure,“ I answered as I walked back to the bed. Placing my two hands on the bed, I leaned in and gave her a kiss on the lips. “I'll be back soon.“ It felt difficult to leave her here all alone. If it was really work, I'd have just asked her to tag along.

I briefly contemplated telling her but I immediately changed my mind. Until I see what the big deal was, I'll keep it to myself.

She nodded, a soft smile on her face.

Eventually, I dragged myself away from her, walked out of the room, down the stairs, and out the front door.

In my car,I brought out my phone and opened up the message they had sent. I inputted the address into my car's GPS and headed to the location.

It was quite a while before I finally got there. As I parked, I could see Tabitha in front of the building.
