The polished leather had once been a gleaming black, but now it bore the marks of the muddy streets, making her frown deepen. She ran her fingers nervously over the grime, as if hoping it would magically disappear.
Edward glanced at her briefly, his lips curling into a slight, knowing smile. “Worried about your shoe?” he teased, raising an eyebrow. She shot him a look that could freeze water. "Thanks to you, I'm late for the interview," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she glared at him from the corner of her eye. "Now I have to clean my shoe before I head to the building." The words came out like a reprimand, her frustration clearly simmering beneath the surface. Her gaze remained fixed on him, but Edward could tell she was more annoyed with herself than with him. She was trying so hard to stay composed, but it was clear her nerves were getting the better of her. He couldn’t help but notice how the messy situation was only adding to her already-stressed aura. Seeing the familiar signs of her anger returning, Edward couldn't resist. He leaned back in his seat, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "You look cute when you're angry," he said teasingly, the words leaving his lips with a playful edge. Her glare intensified, sharp enough to cut through the air. The silence in the car grew heavy, but her annoyance only seemed to amuse him more. "You're the worst," she muttered under her breath, but there was a hint of a reluctant smile tugging at the corner of her lips, betraying the fact that she wasn't entirely unaffected by his comment. Edward chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement, knowing full well that no matter how much she pretended to hate him, she can't escape from him. As they approached the towering company building, a silence had settled between them, one that Edward could no longer stand. His voice cut through the quiet, teasing and light. "I hope you're prepared for the interview," he said, a hint of mischief dancing in his words. His eyes flicked to her briefly, a playful glint behind them. She didn’t falter, her expression stoic, her determination clear. She nodded, though it was more a subtle gesture of confidence than an affirmation of doubt. "I've done my homework," she replied with a calm assurance, her voice steady, almost cold. She was confident, but beneath that certainty, she knew that her skills and her determination would ultimately be what spoke for her in this moment. The hours she’d put in, the research, the preparation—she would prove herself worthy of the opportunity before her. Edward gave a brief nod, seemingly satisfied with her response, but his thoughts were already shifting as he drove closer to the destination. The company building loomed larger in front of them, its sleek glass windows reflecting the pale blue sky. He slowed the car, pulling up a few feet away from the entrance. "We're here," he said, bringing the vehicle to a stop with a soft hum. As the engine quieted, he reached into the glove compartment and retrieved a small bottle of water, handing it to her with a smooth motion. Then, as if he hadn’t fully thought through the action, he passed her a napkin as well. "To clean your shoes," he explained, his tone still teasing but with an underlying softness. Her lips curled slightly, the corners of her mouth betraying a hint of amusement despite herself. “Thanks for your generosity,” she said sarcastically, her voice dripping with mock sweetness. The smile on her lips, however, couldn’t hide the genuine appreciation that flickered in her eyes. Deep down, she was grateful for the gesture, even if she wasn’t about to admit it. Edward couldn’t help but notice the small smile that danced across her face, the way it made her lips curve in such an alluring way. His gaze lingered for a moment too long, caught on the soft pinkness of her lips, remembering their taste, the warmth that had once been there. His throat tightened, and he swallowed hard.

In Edward mansion, Edward and Lucy was on the the dinning enjoying their meal.The grand dining hall of Edward’s mansion shimmered beneath the warm glow of crystal chandeliers. The long mahogany table, polished to perfection, reflected the flickering candlelight placed carefully between plates of exquisite cuisine. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed the night sky, while silk curtains swayed gently from the breeze of the central air. Servants moved silently in the background, trained to be invisible, ensuring that every dish was replaced the moment it cooled.Edward sat at the head of the table, his posture straight, his expression composed as always. His sharp jawline was illuminated by the golden light, giving him an almost sculpted appearance. Lucy sat to his right, dressed in a cream silk dress that hugged her figure elegantly.

Lucy was a bit caught off guard, but she hugged him back, smiling cunningly. “Yes, it’s me,” she answered softly.For a fleeting second, she almost forgot why she was here.Edward’s embrace was warm—too warm.

Fated love Chapter 118
Edward already knew what Anthonio was thinking. Even without hearing the words, he could see them written all over his loyal assistant’s face—the hesitation, the fear, the careful calculation of how much truth to reveal. Edward’s sharp instincts had not dulled, even if his memories had.“Don’t worry about my headache,” Edward said quietly, his voice firm despite the faint tremor beneath it. “I just want to know.”Anthonio had no choice. He drew in a long, heavy breath, as if preparing himself to reopen wounds that had barely healed.“You had a girlfriend before your accident,” he began slowly.The words hung in the air like smoke. Anthonio’s mind unwillingly drifted back to that terrible day—the screams, the flames, the deafening explosion. His expression darkened, grief flashing briefly across his face before he forced himself to continue standing upright.Edward blinked, surprised. “Girlfriend?” he muttered under his breath, staring at Anthonio as if the man had suddenly st
Fated love Chapter 117
On Jackson’s end, he had just stepped out of the hospital building, the automatic glass doors sliding shut behind him with a soft hiss. The late afternoon sun hit his face, but he barely noticed the warmth. His mind was still replaying Conrad’s words over and over again, as though his brain refused to accept the truth so easily. He had only come to the hospital to confirm what Conrad told him earlier, thinking there was a slim chance the results might prove otherwise. Yet here he was, standing in the open parking lot, gripping the folded test report in his hand like it might suddenly vanish.He was still surprised by the result, but more than that, he was overwhelmingly happy. A laugh escaped his lips before he even realized it. For years, he had always carried a tiny hint of doubt in his heart that Aria might be his daughter. It had never been strong enough to voice out loud, yet it lingered quietly in the back of his mind, especially whenever he looked into her eyes or heard her
Fated love Chapter 116
After Claire finally settled down in her small apartment, dropping her handbag on the chair and slipping off her shoes, a strange heaviness lingered in her chest. The quiet of the room felt louder than usual, and the events of the day kept replaying in her mind like a stubborn echo. The image of Edward standing in the amusement park, so close yet so distant, refused to fade. Her heart still beat faster whenever she remembered his confused gaze, the unfamiliar calmness in his eyes, and how he had simply walked away without his usual possessiveness.She moved toward the window and stared outside for a few seconds, watching the streetlights glow softly against the darkening sky. A deep sigh escaped her lips. She needed to talk to someone, someone who understood the past she had tried so hard to bury. Without thinking too much, she reached for her phone and dialed Cleo’s number.The phone rang twice before Cleo answered.“Hey Cleo,” Claire said immediately as the call connected.“Hey Clai
