Falling For My Billionaire Savior - Chapter 113: Chapter 113

I knew Martin was unreliable, but I never thought he could be this unreliable. No wonder Delilah never let go of control. If she handed the chairman's position over to Martin, the Knight family wouldn't be far from ruin.
"Do you think they'll move out?" I asked, curious.
"Not sure. But you need to be extra careful these days. Elena didn't get what she wanted this time. Given Richard's personality, he won't give up easily," Mason said.
"Can I ask Joey for help again next time?" I asked, though I figured it was unlikely.
Sure enough, Mason shook his head. "Using her even once has caused a huge stir. They won't let you get the chance to use Joey again. Be careful these next few days. Joey might turn on you too."
I nodded in agreement, feeling a little uneasy.
Oh, right, something suddenly occurred to me. "Today, when I was buying her gifts, I maxed out all my cards. You have to reimburse me, okay?"
"Well." Mason nodded seriously and then pulled me into a hug.
I was stunned.
It wasn't until he started walking toward the bedroom that I snapped out of it. I followed behind, muttering nonstop, "I need cash, not a hug. That's all my savings. How can you... How can you do this to me..."
Mason suddenly turned around. He pulled a card out of his pocket like a magician. "There's 1.5 million dollars here. Is that enough?"
"Enough, more than enough." I beamed and reached for the card. But instead of getting the card, I stumbled into a warm embrace.
Feeling the shift in his body, I quickly tried to push Mason away. "No, it's not the right time."
"Stay still. Let me hold you for a minute."
I stopped moving. Nestling into his broad chest felt so secure. Even though there were troubles ahead, with Mason here, I wasn't afraid of anything.
Early the next morning, I went to the living room as usual to check on Delilah. But we were late. We were the last to arrive.
Helen's eyes were red and puffy. She'd changed into regular clothes. After that huge fiasco, she looked embarrassed and spoke awkwardly to everyone.
Delilah had worn a scowl since we came down. She even acted colder than usual toward me. I got why she felt that way. I wouldn't take it personally.
After breakfast, Richard announced something in front of everyone. He was bringing his girlfriend home.
My first thought was Elena. But these days I'd grown steadier. Even though that was what I thought, I didn't let it show on my face.
This was definitely good news for Delilah, and for Martin and Helen too.
The heavy, gloomy mood lifted in an instant. The air turned lively. Delilah, Martin, and Helen all asked who the girl was, how old she was.
Richard just smiled and said nothing. He only promised that Delilah would be pleased.
With that, Delilah stopped pressing. She said there was no better day than today. She told him to bring her over for dinner, so everyone could meet her.
He agreed right away. He said he'd do whatever Delilah wanted.
Richard was bringing his girlfriend home, so the topic of Martin and Helen moving out had to be put on hold for now.
Delilah glanced at everyone and said meaningfully, "If Richie's girlfriend is a good girl, they should set a wedding date soon. Get married early, so I can have a great-grandchild. Then if each has one child, I'll get to hold two babies at once."
Helen's face kept flushing and paling. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands or feet.
Luckily, everyone had to go to work soon. Before leaving, Delilah told me, "Kate, you'll handle tonight's dinner."
I quickly tried to back out. "Delilah, I can't. I might manage on a normal day, but today Richie's girlfriend is coming. If I mess it up, I'll bring shame on the family."
Delilah's face hardened. "Who are you trying to shirk your responsibility to? You can do it. And if you can't, you'll have to anyway."
"Yes, Delilah. I'll do as you say," I replied.
