Ch45 - Why all around me?
Last Updated:
2025-05-03 20:00:51Emily roughly sorted her belongings, showered, and then collapsed onto the bed. The place was clearly well-maintained—clean, soft sheets and a mattress that supported her aching back perfectly.
It was leagues better than the one in her old apartment. Normally she wouldn’t have cared much, but ever since the pregnancy, her lower back had been in constant pain. Right now, this level of comfort felt almost miraculous.
Theo really is my lucky star, she thought.
The next morning, she sent Bella a message. She knew Bella probably wouldn’t be in the mood to reply, and there wasn’t much she could do to help, but she still wanted Bella to know she was there for her—because Emily understood just how fast someone could hit emotional rock

After divorce, He regretted Ch109 - Aaron's POV(5)
After that conversation, something shifted between us—it got weird. Emily never brought up the baby topic again.One morning, she got up early and actually started a conversation. Said she wanted to talk to me about going back to work. A friend had recommended her for a position. If she really wanted to work, I told her she could just join Lopez—I could easily give her a cushy job, and nobody at the company would dare give her attitude.But she still insisted on joining another company. I agreed. I didn’t want to control every damn thing and start another fight.She seemed to warm up a bit after that. I saw the softness return to her eyes, and something in me stirred. I cupped her face and kissed her—sweet and soft and suddenly my whole body lit up. I kissed her deeper, pried her lips open with mine, unable to hold myself back. I picked her up and carried her straight to the bed. But just as I was getting into it, she turned her head and said she wasn’t feeling well.I paused, disap
After divorce, He regretted Ch108 - Aaron's POV(4)
I went with Emily to visit her grandmother, Ruth. But I couldn’t understand why, out of nowhere, she suggested letting Ruth be discharged early. Ruth was in the best private suite in the hospital, with two full-time caregivers rotating around the clock. Emily had never objected before. So why now?After we left the hospital, Emily stayed quiet, visibly upset. When I said Ruth should stay hospitalized a little longer for safety, she sighed and snapped, “I don’t wanna fight with you. You’d win anyway. You’ve got power, money… in the end, you always get to decide.”I was doing what I thought was best for them. Was that wrong? Why did she have to say it like I was some kind of tyrant?Then she looked me straight in the eye. “Aaron, do you think just because I haven’t worked these past three years, I’ve gone stupid? Or is it that you really think I’m that naive—easy to lie to?”I didn’t know how to respond. Honestly, her mood swings lately had been erratic—unpredictable. It made me wonder
After divorce, He regretted Ch107 - Aaron's POV(3)
What happened next was a total disaster. Because I didn’t want to make a scene at the office, I raised my voice at Emily—something I instantly regretted.I let frustration speak first. “You’re being completely irrational! When did you turn into this?”She didn’t yell back. Just scoffed, cold as hell, with that look that cut deeper than anything she could’ve said.I didn’t know how to defuse the chaos. All I could think of was getting her out of there before things got worse. I grabbed my phone. “Leo, get up here. Now.”I needed her out safely. I needed to clean this up.Leo showed up in less than two minutes. I snapped, “Take her home. If she disappears, you’re responsible.”She left without a word, didn’t even glance back. And for a second, I hesitated. But maybe letting her cool off at home was better—for both of us.After she left, I told Amelia to go too. Said I’d think about the collab later. I tried focusing on work, but Emily’s expression—those eyes, just wouldn’t leave me. It
After divorce, He regretted Ch106 - Aaron's POV(2)
Married life with Emily turned out better than I expected. My grandfather and mom both liked her, and she was willing to go along with everything I planned. I don’t know when it started exactly, but every time she listened to me—every time she followed my lead—I felt this deep, satisfying sense of control.Whether it was her quitting her job to be a full-time housewife, or how she tried so hard to get pregnant because she knew I wanted a big family... it all felt like everything in my world was perfectly in place. Coming home was peaceful. Safe. She felt completely mine.And truth is, I did my best to meet her needs too. The things she asked for were simple—more time together, dinner with friends, just stuff like that.One night, after having dinner with her friend Georgia and Georgia’s husband, Emily was wiped out and fell asleep right away when we got home. A text came through on her phone. I was just gonna put it on silent—but I saw it was from Georgia, and something just told me t
After divorce, He regretted Ch105 - Aaron's POV(1)
Aaron's POVI still remember—it was winter that year. Miserable and grey as hell. Second year of college. That was when my dad passed away.It was sudden. By the time I rushed to the hospital, he was already under a white sheet.I couldn’t say a damn word. I just remember my mom standing there in all black, calm as stone. Her expression didn’t look like someone who had just lost her husband. She was so cold, it was like the man lying in front of her was just some stranger she barely knew.I hated her. Honestly, I did.She never said it outright, but I always knew she thought my dad was useless. To her, he was a man who spent his life painting instead of making money, someone who added zero value to her business empire.But to me, he was everything. He was the only one in the family who ever knelt down to talk to me. Who sat beside me while I painted. Who let me choose my own likes and dislikes. While my mom was always busy running the company, it was my dad who raised me. He gave up
After divorce, He regretted Ch104 - You're out
In the CEO’s office, an empty coffee cup sat on the desk beside a half-drunk energy drink. From a distance, Aaron looked composed, seated upright like always. But up close, the red veins in his eyes and the dark shadows underneath gave away the truth, who knew how many nights he hadn’t slept properly.Mera was one of the few people who still approached him like everything was normal. She handed over a thick document. “Here’s the proposal for next season. Need your sign-off.”The words next season hit Aaron like a slap. Emily had been gone for over two months. Two damn months. She’d fooled him into signing those divorce papers and vanished right after.He’d turned the city upside down trying to find her, but she hadn’t left a single trace. Not a photo, not a note, not a single scent of her left behind. Just gone. Like she never existed. So much for giving him a chance to make things right.The document in front of him suddenly felt like a brick. He pushed it away. “Whatever. You decid
