Chapter 270 “Got it,” Brinley said with a small nod, her voice soft. Without wasting another second, Austin strode from the room with Miguel, his steps brisk and purposeful. Once Austin had gone, Brinley wasted no time. She packed up her belongings and drove straight to VantagePath Realty. The moment
Chapter 269 For the next two days, Austin was surprisingly well-behaved—no pranks, no antics—though he rarely let Brinley out of arm’s reach. Whether he was reviewing documents with her beside him or reclining nearby with his eyes closed, he never allowed her to drift far. Early one morning, the hospital
Chapter 267 Night had fully settled over the city by the time the nurse arrived with dinner. Austin’s earlier energy had dwindled, leaving him pale and heavy-eyed. Brinley coaxed him through half a bowl of warm porridge before clearing the tray away. When she noticed his eyelids starting to sag,
Chapter 266 She unlocked her phone, her fingers steady now, and typed a brief message to Austin: “It’s done. Heading back.” His reply arrived almost instantly: “Waiting for you.” Brinley’s lips curved, the first real smile of the day breaking across her face. By the time the car rolled back
Chapter 265 After ending the call, Brinley noticed Austin’s clenched jaw and softly brushed her fingers along his cheek. “I’d like to meet with Alayah.” Austin clasped her hand, his thumb tracing slow circles over her skin, his voice tinged with irritation. “Why bother? The Palmers are manipulative schemers.” “Because
Chapter 264 After ending the call, Brinley noticed Austin’s clenched jaw and softly brushed her fingers along his cheek. “I’d like to meet with Alayah.” Austin clasped her hand, his thumb tracing slow circles over her skin, his voice tinged with irritation. “Why bother? The Palmers are manipulative schemers.” “Because
Chapter 263 Yet her mind was a blur. She couldn’t recall half of what left her mouth for the rest of the meeting. Austin’s presence was impossible to ignore—his chest warm against her back, his arm locked possessively around her waist, his breath brushing her ear as he whispered little
Chapter 262 Brinley let out a soft, helpless sigh, though there was no real anger behind it. She knew Austin well enough—idleness was his enemy. If he wasn’t stirring up mischief in small ways, he would feel caged. And beneath it all, he only wanted to keep her from working
Chapter 261 Still, he wasn’t the kind to surrender so easily. If he couldn’t work in his hospital bed, then he had to find another outlet for his energy—usually by pestering Brinley while she worked in the lounge. Brinley had just organized urgent files Corbin had delivered and was preparing
Chapter 408 Eira’s Boyfriend Eira’s POV Jason and I went downstairs, hand in hand. Others were sitting quietly around the drawing room. As we descended the stairs, all the gazes shifted to us, to our hands. They had heard it all and must have questions for Jason, about how he
Chapter 407 Comforting Kiss Eira’s POV I felt much lighter after talking to him. The thorn of his silence had been stuck in my heart for a long time. “You can get up. How long are you going to kneel?” I asked, seeing him not in a mood to move.
Chapter 249 I think maybe.. And the worst part, the part that sat uncomfortably in his chest, was that he didn’t know what to say. Not because it wasn’t true that he had gone to Josh first. But the reason she was thinking what she was thinking was more complicated
Chapter 248 Don’t look at me like that His fingers lingered against her cheek. “I know you’ve been here this whole time,” he said quietly. Amara looked up. “But I missed you.” His voice cracked slightly. “I missed my wife so much.” Something tightened in Amara’s chest. Because she had
Chapter 247 Missed him Amara watched him. She had her hands folded in her lap, and her posture was still, composed, the way it always was when she was gauging how something would land. Then she uncrossed her legs and leaned forward slightly. “Listen,” she said, and her voice dropped
Chapter 246 It’s time The Saturday afternoon sun fell heavy through the tall windows of the Pedro mansion, throwing long gold bars of light across the marble floors. It was the kind of quiet that only money could buy: no traffic, no noise, just the distant hum of the air
Chapter 452 I want Voren to see me the way he sees Sera Noelle studied her daughter carefully for several long moments. She wasn’t sure involving Daisy was the right decision. The sorceress dealt with dark forces that always demanded something in return. Nothing she offered ever came without a
Chapter 451 When the time comes, she’ll swap your wolves The Flashback itself continues. (The flashback in a flashback was about Noelle telling the story to little Daisy). Daisy sat there quietly, trying to absorb everything Noelle had just revealed. The more she thought about it all, the hotter the
Chapter 450 You should have left our daughter where she belonged Madison listened carefully. “You must tell everyone your daughter was born prematurely.” Confusion spread across Madison’s face. “Prematurely? Why?” Noelle nodded. “According to everyone else, she cannot be older than one year.” Madison blinked several times, clearly lost. “I
Chapter 174 The Southern Summit The great hall had been transformed. Gone were the formal rows of benches where council meetings convened. Gone were the raised dais and throne that symbolized royal authority. In their place stood a circular table of polished oak, surrounded by chairs of equal size and
