Ch30 - Manipulating her
Last Updated:
2025-04-21 20:02:52Emily clutched her chest, startled. “Jesus, you scared the hell out of me.”
Still shaken, she hadn’t even had time to ask what Aaron was doing there. A cigarette butt smoldered at his feet—still giving off a thin wisp of smoke. Emily instinctively covered her nose, already wanting nothing more than to get inside and shut the door.
Aaron stamped out the cigarette with his shoe and stepped in front of her door. He looked tired, drawn. “Em, I’m not here to cause trouble.”
“I don’t care why you’re here,” Emily said coldly, automatically taking a step back.
“Please, just hear me out.” Aaron’s voice was softer than usual. “Grandpa fainted just now… after hearing about our divorce.&

After divorce, He regretted Ch63 - Was his?
Aaron was drenched in sweat. Ever since receiving Emily’s medical report, a thought had started to gnaw at him—was there even the slimmest chance that the baby she was carrying... was his?At 2 p.m., the Lopez estate was quiet—until the sudden sound of an approaching car. The butler, surprised, rushed to the door. Aaron wasn’t expected home, certainly not at this hour. Neither he nor the housemaids had ever seen Aaron return so early.The moment Aaron stepped out of the car, he stormed toward the front entrance, his strides wide, urgency written all over his face. The butler hurried to open the door.Without even removing his coat, Aaron barked an order: "Bring Mia—the maid who handled Emily’s meals."Less than a minute later, Mia was
After divorce, He regretted Ch62 - The truth
Emily’s eyes lit up, a flicker of hope cutting through the haze.“What do you mean?” Her voice held both surprise and worry. “But I can’t take your money. That debt belongs to Aaron. He should pay for what he did.”She assumed Theo meant covering the bar’s two million himself—an impossible sum she couldn’t imagine repaying. Whether or not that amount was a small change to Theo didn’t matter. She couldn’t let him carry it.But Theo quickly clarified, “It’s not what you think.”Emily looked at him, puzzled.“Trust me,” he said steadily. “I’ve got a way to fix this properly.”
After divorce, He regretted Ch61 - She was pregnant?
Aaron exploded like a storm.Just moments ago, Theo’s bodyguards had shown up in time to stop him. All he could do was watch helplessly as Theo whisked Emily away right in front of his eyes.Furious, he slammed his fist against the car door with a heavy thud. The metal rang with the force of it, the door visibly shaking. Pain shot up his hand like an electric jolt—like he needed the sting to snap him out of the chaos in his head.His assistant, Leo, stood off to the side with his head down, hands clasped politely in front of him. He’d already borne the brunt of Aaron’s fury just now—accused of incompetence for failing to report Emily’s hospital visit.Aaron had made it clear: he was supposed to be informed about everything
After divorce, He regretted Ch60 - Loyal defender
"Helped her?" Aaron looked genuinely surprised.Amelia put on a pitiful face, her voice soft, eyes wide. “I knew she meant a lot to you… so when I saw her about to fall, I didn’t even think. I just reacted.”Aaron’s expression turned serious. He spun around toward the doorway where Emily and Theo were just about to step out. “Emily, don’t you think you owe someone an explanation? Ami just helped you, and you’re leaving without even a thank you?”Emily paused mid-step, confused. She hadn’t heard what Amelia said earlier—and had no idea what the hell Aaron was talking about. She didn’t even remember almost falling.Before she could speak, Theo’s voice cut through the tension, sharp as a blade. “Helped? Or pushed?”Amelia’s face went white. “Excuse me? Why would I push her?!”She couldn’t believe this—this man, who looked so polished and composed, was accusing her like she was nothing. He hadn’t even checked on her after she fell—hadn’t shown the slightest concern. Every man she’d ever
After divorce, He regretted Ch59 - Jealousy
Emily and Amelia were both taken to the nearby clinic for treatment. Before the way, Amelia kept her head down, sparing only two humiliated, angry glances at Emily and Theo before going quiet.No one really knew how the accident had happened.Emily recalled that she’d only been trying to get away from Amelia, who was badgering her endlessly. She’d taken a step forward, twisted her ankle slightly, and instinctively bent over for a moment. When she looked up, Amelia was already on the ground.Maybe Amelia had tried to grab her and lost her balance in the process.Amelia’s injuries were quite serious—her palms and legs were scraped up, and there was a nasty red gash across one of her calves, probably from hitting the edge of the steps. The clin
After divorce, He regretted Ch58 - Words are cheap
"I hope you remember WHAT you said before—you said we shouldn’t meet alone ever again," Emily said, looking calmly at the uninvited guest standing in front of her.It felt like ever since she’d joined the company, nearly every bit of drama had ambushed her right in this building.And now, it was Amelia’s turn.Emily knew exactly why Amelia looked so anxious and wound up—it was because she had left her message from yesterday on read. Not replying only made Amelia more desperate.Amelia lifted her chin, trying to look composed. Her gaze flicked to Emily’s stomach. “You’ve done a good job hiding it...”“You can pretend you never saw anything,” Emily replied coolly
After divorce, He regretted Ch57 - Belong to her
Perhaps it was guilt gnawing at Aaron, but whatever the reason, he ended up staying for hours—well into the night—before finally leaving.The moment his foot stepped out the door, Amelia’s expression dropped like a mask slipping.Of course she thought this place wasn’t nearly big enough. Her sorry excuse of an ex-husband had made her sign a prenup before they got married, like she was some schemer he had to guard against.So when they split, all she was left with were a few gifts—nothing more.The car he gave her? Sold long before she came back. The designer bags and jewelry? Barely worth anything secondhand. She kept them for appearances&rsquo
After divorce, He regretted Ch56 - Had to pretend
Amelia spun around at the sound of Aaron’s voice, nearly dropping her phone in shock.Aaron had been in a foul mood all day—frustrated, irritable. As his car passed near Amelia’s apartment, he figured he’d stop by, since he hadn’t reached out to her in over a week.She’d given him the door code a while back, saying he could come by anytime. He didn’t expect to walk in and hear her sounding so agitated on the phone.He tossed his jacket onto the sofa, tugged at his pant leg as he sat down, and glanced up. Amelia was still frozen, her face full of panic."Why’re you so nervous?" he asked calmly, but there was a subtle edge in his voice.Her mouth opened, but no words came ou
After divorce, He regretted Ch55 - He did a lot
Emily had just finished her check-up at the OB-GYN when Cecelia stepped in front of her, smiling and pretending to chat like they were old friends.It was weird—downright bizarre—considering how their last run-in had gone. Cecelia had been all high and mighty, telling her to step aside and give up the title of Mrs. Lopez.Now Cecelia was grinning and gushing about just confirming she was pregnant? What kind of show was she putting on? Emily had zero interest in hearing it.Emily didn’t want to hang around and raise suspicions, so after the third time politely saying she had somewhere to be and trying to sidestep Cecelia,
