HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES 140. Before Goodbye
ANNA“Are you not sleepy?” Dylan asked.I sat against the headboard while Dylan lay beside me. One hand supported his head, while the other gently stroked my belly. Every now and then, he would place a soft kiss on it.Honestly, seeing him do that made my chest ache with emotion. I reached out and covered his hand with mine. Without being asked, he laced his fingers with mine and kissed the back of my hand, lingering there for a long moment.I stared at our intertwined fingers.Once, the same hands had been reluctant to even touch me. Now, he held mine as though he were afraid I would disappear if he ever let go.Something heavy lodged in my throat. So this was what it felt like to be loved by my own husband.“Not yet.” I glanced at Dylan, then remembered the fairy-tale books I had bought with him that day. I reached up and ran my fingers through his thick hair.“Can I make my twenty-fifth wish?” I asked.Dylan straightened. He narrowed his eyes at me. “What do you want now?”“So you

I don’t even remember how I got out of that house. All I remember is the sound of my own hurried footsteps as I rushed down the stairs. I yanked the front door open and immediately ran outside.At the gate, I half-ran toward the taxi that was already waiting for me. The moment I got inside, I patted the middle-aged driver firmly on the shoulder.“Go,” I said quickly.The driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror. “Where to, miss?” he asked politely.My uneven breathing made it difficult for me to speak. Suddenly, I couldn’t even answer such a simple question.I gripped my hair with both hands.Where? I didn’t even know where I wanted to go. My mind was blank. All I could see was Rean’s face. I quickly shook my head, trying to drive the image from my mind.Slowly, I steadied my breathing. Once I had calmed down, I gave the driver the address of Jessy’s house.The taxi began moving away from the house. I looked back through the window as the large building grew farther and farthe
HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES 138. A Deadly Decision.
I found myself standing in front of the house that had thrown me out only a few days ago. My breath came out in heavy bursts as my hand clenched around the bottle of medicine in my jacket pocket. Two days ago, I had managed to get the medicine without Jenna knowing.If she found out what I was planning, she would be furious. I was certain she would never agree to this plan, even if it would benefit us. I knew Jenna loved Rean. But that old man had thrown my mother away like she was nothing.I ignored the phone in my pocket. My manager had been calling me for days about a fashion show, but I kept refusing. The news about my affair with Dylan had spread across several news outlets, and the scandal had badly damaged both my reputation and Dylan's company.My eyes remained fixed on the large building through the taxi window. I glanced at my watch. Rean was usually at the office around this time, so I wouldn't have to run into him.I clenched my fists in my lap. “Stop here,” I told the dri

I pulled Jenna away from the gate. The iron door slammed shut behind us, leaving behind a long creak that made the night feel even quieter.“Lea... we’re completely ruined,” she whispered hoarsely. “Rean threw us out. Where are we supposed to go, huh?”My tongue felt numb. I didn’t answer my mother at all. Slowly, I turned around and looked toward the second-floor window, where Rean stood watching us leave without a hint of guilt. The man who had once promised to protect us had now thrown us away like trash just because of Anna. Just because of that woman.I watched Rean walk away. His shadow disappeared from the window, but my anger toward him remained like a burning wound.“Forget it, Mom. He already threw you away. He chose his pathetic daughter instead,” I said sharply, making Jenna finally stop crying. She roughly wiped the corners of her eyes, then nodded at me.We walked away without a destination. The suitcases rattled against the asphalt, sounding unbearably loud in the silen
HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES 136. Everything We Lost
-LEA-“Are you sure this will work? We already got caught off guard because of Eron,” I said to Jessy, who was smoking on the sofa with her long legs crossed.Jessy blew the smoke into the air. “Whether it works or not, what matters is making Dylan waver. Especially now that Anna is pregnant. That could be used as a weapon against us.”My chest tightened. My hands clenched around the cushion I was holding. To be honest, I had doubted the news of Anna’s pregnancy, but hearing it directly from the doctor treating Anna made me furious.So Dylan and Anna had slept together. Now, it seemed their divorce would be called off. There was no way Dylan would simply let Anna go, unless he was only after an heir from her to become the main successor of the Danforth family.My teeth clenched. I should have been in that position, not Anna. If only I had managed to stop Anna’s hundred ridiculous wishes, Dylan might still be with me.“What do you plan to do about the child in her womb? Abort it?”“I h
HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES 135. The Unborn Heir
I was still standing by the window when the sounds from the yard began to grow louder.Several workers were busy beside the house. The sound of shovels striking the soil mixed with the scraping of wood being moved, along with occasional instructions from someone nearby.The small garden was beginning to take shape. A box truck had arrived carrying several seedlings and potted plants.The swing that had still been nothing more than a pile of wood yesterday now stood firmly beneath a young tree. Beside it, a small slide was also nearly finished.I stared at it from behind the window.Dylan really hadn't been joking. I had thought his words were nothing more than a spontaneous remark from someone overly excited about becoming a father. Apparently, he had meant every word.My hand instinctively touched my stomach.It was still far too early to feel anything. Yet outside, the little garden for our child was already taking shape. I could imagine a little child running across the grass, then

I stared at the food I'd prepared with a satisfied smile.The servants who hadn't bothered helping me all morning simply watched with amused expressions. Some of them had even started placing bets on what would happen to the dishes spread across the table.There were only two possibilities. They wo

"Vallen, just pretend you never saw any of this," I said calmly."Damn it, Anna, what do you mean? How am I supposed to stay quiet after seeing something this unfair? You're fighting a disease while Dylan...""Vallen, this is my marriage."The firmness in my voice silenced him on the other end of t

I didn't know how long I had been lying on the floor.When I woke up, my head was throbbing and my entire body ached. Slowly, I pushed myself upright and rubbed my face. When I looked down, I found several dried drops of blood on the floor.Not wanting to dwell on it, I got up and walked into the b
HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES 4. A Comparison
For nearly half the day, I lay in bed, curled up as I stared blankly through the open window. My body felt hot, and I was utterly exhausted even though I hadn't done anything physically demanding.Fortunately, Jessy wasn't home. She was probably working at her boutique. If she saw me lazing around
