Page 41 of Faking it With A Grumpy Billionaire

Elizabeth immediately looked in his direction, breaking her gaze from one of the expensive paintings on the wall.

“Welcome home, sir.”

The moment Anthony mentioned “home,” I could already feel Elizabeth shooting stares at me.

“Is everything all set?” I asked.

“Yes, sir, it is, and we have it all outside as you requested.”

“Great. You and the rest of the staff can leave then. I’ll take care of the rest.”

“Are you sure, sir?”

“Don’t worry, Anthony, I can handle myself and my fiancée, don’t you think?”

“Of course, sir. Do let me know if you need anything.”

“Of course I will. Now go home and rest with your wife, and tell Sarah I’m sorry for bringing you out on a weekend.”

“I will. Thank you, sir.” Anthony bowed slightly before leaving the room.

The moment he was gone, I knew it was time to face Liz. Turning to her, I was immediately met with her bewildered expression.

“You don’t look so excited right now. Why? You don’t like this place?”

“This is your home?”

“Yes,” I said with a smile on my face.

“Your home?”

“Well, I haven’t stayed here more than five times, but yes, I consider this place my home. Saving it for when I want to retire.”

“Retire? Not when you want to have a family?”

“Well, umm . . . I don’t really know about that. You know what, how about we go over to the back? I have a surprise for you.”

I immediately changed the topic, as I was uncomfortable with the conversation about family. The idea of having a family or children had not crossed my mind, especially when I was still grappling with my own understanding of love.

However, today was not the day for such conversations. All I wanted was to enjoy a good time with Elizabeth; that was all that mattered.

As I led her over to the back, we climbed down a few steps, and I watched her look around every now and then. It wasn’t until she saw it that she let out a loud gasp.

“Oh my god!”

I let out a laugh while still holding her hand as we walked past the barricade and onto the beach land itself.

“Oh my! Will?”

“Yes, Liz?” I replied with a huge smile on my face.

“You have a beach in your home? Oh my god!” she immediately detached her hand from mine as she ran further down to the water area, pulling off her sandals along the way.

With a smile, I went over to pick them up, along with her purse, and placed them neatly at the spot where we were going to sit.

I checked out the setup that had been done under the hut; it was exactly how I wanted it to be—simple yet elegant.

The food choices were also numerous; I wanted a bit of everything even though I knew there was no way we could finish up. I also ensured the staff stocked up more on juice than wine. If I was going to be driving back, I needed to be clear of alcohol. When I was done checking it all, I heard her call out for me to come join her.
