Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford Chapter 424
Vance never held back when telling them what he wanted to eat. It was better to keep them busy than let them sit around sighing every day.After dinner, he helped Andrew tend to the small vegetable garden in the backyard. The once-overgrown yard now had neat rows of vegetables and finally felt alive again.But as he squatted among the plants, he couldn't help recalling the time he and Rebecca had gone back to Josette's suburban house.They had sat at the front door watching the melons and flowers blooming in the yard. The pain hit him without warning, but there was nothing he could do.Only when it was dark did he leave the place and return to the hotel.The next morning, he showed up at the office. Aiden had arrived earlier and was waiting with several outsourcing company representatives."Let's go to the conference room," Vance said."Now that Mr. Bradford is here, you can finalize the renewal contracts with him," Aiden told the representatives smoothly.Everyone sat down aro

Vance was stumped and felt a wave of embarrassment.Without another word, Edwin turned and went back into his office. Vance sat down in the waiting area, not stepping forward until Rebecca came out two hours later.A few days apart, saying her name felt like it belonged to another lifetime, but clearly, she didn't want to see him.In her mind, they had said goodbye and should not cross paths again.He saw the impatience in her eyes and smiled bitterly. "You won't even see me for a minute? Do you really hate me that much?"She shook her head. "I don't hate you."Hope flashed in his eyes, but her next words sent him straight back to hell. "I've already erased you from my life. If you don't show up, I don't even remember you."At that moment, Vance finally understood what people meant when they said indifference was crueler than hatred. For a second, he wished she would hate him. At least then, she would still think of him sometimes.She started toward the exit. He fell into step

"Of course," Vance replied. "How could I forget? Is the baby doing okay? "Catherine finally relaxed. It looked like he wasn't suspecting anything.On the other end of the phone, Vance sat by the floor-to-ceiling window of his hotel room. He set the phone down and stared out at the city lights. There wasn't the slightest sign of illness on his face.His phone rang again. He glanced at the caller ID and answered.Aiden's anxious voice came through. "Vance, where have you been? I haven't seen you for days."Vance leaned back in his chair. "Oh, I haven't been feeling well. What's up?" "Nothing too important. You okay?" Aiden started testing the waters with small talk, just like Catherine had done.Vance sounded perfectly normal. "I've been so sick I could barely think straight. I haven't even had the energy to plan the wedding with Catherine. Can you help me look into some wedding planners? She wants something unique. I'm too weak right now to handle it, but we can't keep putting

Lucas left her there without even offering to walk her upstairs, simply telling her to find a job or go look for Vance."Find Vance?" Catherine gave a bitter smile.At this point, he must have figured out something. Otherwise, why would he suddenly vanish when they were about to get married?She had already tried on the wedding dress, but he hadn't called or even texted her. That didn't make any sense, yet she was now at the end of her rope.Vance was her last hope.Curled up on the hotel bed, she finally dialed his number.To her surprise, he answered. The moment she heard his voice, real tears poured out. Not acting this time."Vance..." she cried, thinking back to the days when he had pampered her in every possible way.Now she was cast aside like a stray dog. Regret flooded her, but she still blamed him. If he hadn't always refused to take their relationship to the next level and left her feeling so insecure, she never would have let Aiden talk her into anything.Her heart

"That's not true. Don't talk about Izzy like that," Lucas said quickly, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed. "I asked her to manage the money. I'm terrible at it. She's been handling it since we started dating. How is that embarrassing? Izzy says taking care of the family is a good quality. Sometimes, I do want to stay out longer with the guys, but when she reminds me to come home, it's because she wants to spend time with me."He paused and added, "I'm busy with work all day and don't have much time for her. Staying out after work makes it even less. Her reminding me is completely normal. I may complain sometimes, but Izzy isn't wrong. When I'm out having fun, I actually feel uneasy and keep thinking about her. As for legitimate expenses like paying for client dinners, even if she gets the notification, she won't complain. Says she has the right to know because she loves me. If a woman doesn't care at all about what her man does, that means she doesn't love him anymore."Cathe

Aiden did explode, but his curses were directed at Catherine."I thought something serious had happened. I told you not to contact me lately. Are you deaf?" he spat. "Get the hell out! I'm busy!"He hung up, and Catherine's hand shook with rage.Lucas couldn't bear to watch it. He sighed heavily. "Forget it, Cathy. Just leave."What else could she do? Waiting for the police to drag her out?"Just you wait! And Aiden, too!" she spat, her eyes blazing with pure hatred. "None of you will have a good ending!"She walked out with her head held high. Lucas carried the suitcase for her.Sonia locked the door. Behind her, two moving workers carried the last two boxes.They waited for the elevator together. When it arrived, Sonia stepped in, but obviously, Catherine refused to ride with her.Sonia looked at Lucas and said, "I'll go first. You know what to do. Don't make Isabelle come ask me what happened.""I didn't..." he started to explain, but the doors closed. He shouted desperate

"What are you getting at?" Vance stepped closer. "Cathy suffered domestic violence because of her fertility problems. It's become a deep trauma for her. As her friend, I heard about a good doctor and brought her here. What's wrong with that? You're jealous over this?"Rebecca maintained her smile.

It was a call from Kaitlyn Perry.Rebecca had seen her aunt only a handful of times before. Since she was old enough to remember, Kaitlyn had been little more than a name in the family.Renzo had always complained that sending Kaitlyn away was like throwing money down a hole. He would ramble on ab

"Hmm?" Rebecca was still lost in the music."You're so glowing when you dance," Vance said, captivated by her radiant smile."Of course!" she laughed, teetering in his support. "Desmond, do you know my happiest days?"His heart tightened. "When?""Those four years at the dance academy. I flew fr

Vance froze, his eyes widening in shock. Rebecca watched him calmly, her expression serene.After a long, stiff pause, he got his voice back. "How did you...""You're not the only smart one in the world," she interrupted, looking straight ahead. "I didn't say it, but that doesn't mean I didn't kno
