Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 632 "Winnie and Michael were only childhood playmates. Sonya is his fiancée!" Oscar's voice carried weight, immediately silencing the murmur of speculation around them. At this point, if Michael didn't give an explanation, he would be completely humiliated. Without waiting, Oscar grabbed Sonya's hand and headed toward the private room. But Michael had locked the door. Amid the chaos outside, he was entirely focused on explaining to Winnie inside. He had only learned the day before that his father had arranged the engagement for him.

Michael intended to keep the marriage a secret for as long as. possible, so Oscar's sudden move had completely caught him off guard. He hadn't told Winnie because he didn't want her to worry. He wanted to figure out a solution himself first. Sonya was reasonable; Michael had planned to speak with her privately when his father wasn't around. But with Oscar present all along, and Veronica stirring up trouble outside, all of Michael's plans were thrown into disarray. He had no choice but to calm Winnie first amid the confusion. ---- "Michael, are you out of your mind? Just to tell me this...

Go out there and explain it properly to them!" Winnie was stunned. She hadn't expected things to be like this. Sonya wasn't someone you could easily offend-hadn't they already learned enough from the Starr family incident? Was. Michael destined to have bad luck whenever he was near her? "What exactly am | supposed to explain?" Seeing Winnie panicked, Michael remained calm, almost eerily so. He took her hand as she tried to rush toward the door. "Tell them that you and | have nothing going on, and that you and Sonya..." "| won't." Michael cut her off, pulling her back in close.

"If | explain, then I have to take responsibility for Sonya. She cannot be a shield or a tool between us." Winnie's eyes shimmered, tears threatening to spill without reason. She wasn't sad. In fact, she felt deeply moved. Michael wasn't impulsive, yet he repeatedly put aside consequences to protect her sensitivity and vulnerability. He was such a good man. He wouldn't hurt an innocent person ---- to protect his own position. Winnie felt that having a friend like Michael was perhaps the luckiest thing that had ever happened to her. She drew a deep breath and nodded. "| support you.

You and Sonya are well-suited. You've already done more than enough for me. Once we finalize the divorce, I'll personally explain things to her in private. I'm sure she'll understand." "What are you talking about?" Michael was momentarily taken aback before realizing what she meant. She had actually thought his words implied he wanted to marry Sonya? He couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head. He reached out to touch her forehead. "How did I never realize you could be this naive?" Winnie's eyes were still wet with tears.

She didn't understand at first, hearing only that he called her "naive." Had he really grown that dismissive of her? "Listen carefully, Winnie." Michael leaned closer, gazing into her eyes with unprecedented seriousness. "When | said 'I can't explain, it's not because of you. Even without you, | still cannot marry Sonya."
