My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Belle’s POV

“Hey, Dr. Belle. You haven’t eaten your salad yet. Is there something bothering you?” Nicki, one of my co-doctors asked me while we were inside the cafeteria.

I shook my head and looked at her. “I-I’m sorry. I’m just wondering…”

“About what?”

“Is it possible for someone to forget about his feelings for someone when he meets someone new? Like, a person he just met?”

Nicki took a sip of her lemon tea before speaking. “You mean, there is someone that man loves, then there came another woman. You’re asking me if it is possible for him to forget about his first love and love the new woman better?”

“Y-Yeah.”

“Well, it actually depends on the man and it depends on the situations that happened while they were away from one another. Most importantly, it depends whether the man really loves his first love. Because if you love someone so much, then it would be impossible for you to fall in love with someone else.”

I continously nodded my head. “I see. Then that means he won’t fall in love with someone new, right?”

“Most probably if he’s a loyal man. But you know, men gets easily attracted to a more beautiful woman. When someone new comes and it gives them what they want and made them experience things that they never experienced before, then they’re most likely to fall for that woman instead.”

“But if the first love comes back, then he wouldn’t have any reason to fall for the new woman. Also, first love is the most unforgettable.”

“But there is only one true love. Being the first one who came doesn’t mean you’re already the one. Sometimes, your true love is the one that came in the most unexpected time. The one that changed your life.”

“But—

When I realized that I was being too defensive already, I just heaved a sigh and kept my mouth shut.

Nicki smiled at me. “Belle. If there is someone you like, it’s best to tell your feelings directly to him. Confess what you truly feel while it’s still early or you’ll surely regret it in the end.”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“O-Oh no, it’s not about me. I just watched a drama last night. The theme caught my attention, so I decided to watch it.”

Who are you trying to fool, Belle?

After taking a break, I decided to go back to the infirmary first. On my way there, I saw Elisse.

“Dr. Belle!”

“Oh, hello there Elisse! Are you done having your lunch?”

She smiled as she nodded her head. “Yes, Miss Belle! I ate the sandwich that brother prepared for me!”

“Oh, he really prepared you that? How about your mom? Does she prepare food for you, too?”

“Huh? No. Miss Winter doesn’t know how to cook. But it’s alright! We have lots of maid at home, anyway. And Miss Winter also tells me stories at night.”

I nodded my head. “Oh. Is that so? That’s good to hear then.”

“Yes, Miss Winter is the best!”

“I-I see. By the way, do you want me to accompany you to your classroom?”

“Okay!”

“Elisse, is your brother and Miss Winter close with each other?”

Elisse thought for a while, then a smiled appeared on her face again. “At first, Miss Winter didn’t like brother because he’s just a poor man, now, they are really close. One of our maids said that they look like a real couple now.”

“Does your brother like her? I mean, does he like Miss Winter?”

“Brother waits for Miss Winter every time she goes outside. He even falls asleep waiting for her sometimes. Also, brother takes care of Miss Winter whenever she’s sick.”

That made me stop walking. But when I saw Elisse glanced at me, I continue walking again. “I-Is that true? He takes care of her when she’s sick?”

“Yes. Brother really loves Miss Winter!”

“E-Elisse. We’re here already. I’ll leave you now, okay?”

She waved at me. “Thank you, Dr. Belle!”

“You’re welcome. S-See you tomorrow..”

I turned around and started walking away. I could feel something heavy on my chest, but I just don’t know what that is.

Themis…

Loves that woman?

***

As soon as I got home, I went straight to my room and sat on my bed. I reached for the photo album under my side table.

It was a photo album that I have kept ever since. This was the only memory I have and the only thing that makes me happy whenever I miss my family and whenever I miss Themis while I was studying abroad.

I skipped the first few pages of the album and stopped on the middle part where there were photos of me and Themis.

He was the one who always cheers me up before. He worries about me so much, and gets really mad whenever someone tries to hurt me. I even remember him fighting with someone who tried to bully me before.

On one of those photos was a petal of red rose.

“I’m sorry, this is the only gift I can give you.”

I could still remember how red Themis’ face was when he showed me the petal of red rose in his hand. It was my favorite flower, so he tried to plant one but failed. The only thing that he got was one petal.

I was over the moon when I received that. Because out of all the grand gifts that I have received that day, I know that Themis’ gift was the one I was always waiting for. No matter what it is, I will be happy as long as it’s from him.

“Belle, do you know what a red rose symbolizes?” Themis asked me one night while we were on the garden.

I looked at him. “What?”

“It symbolizes beauty, passion, and love. And when someone gives you a rose, that means they are going to love you forever.”

I heaved a sigh.

I wonder if he can still remember that?
