He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 267: We Thought We Had Found the Balace
By the time the week finally ended, I found Damien already home when I walked through the door, and before I'd gotten past the second sentence of describing my day, he'd crouched down and started loosening my shoes without asking, pulling them off one at a time while I stood there mid-sentence, entirely derailed. "You're not even listening.""I'm listening. I'm also freeing your feet. Both things can happen simultaneously." He straightened and pulled me against him, kissing me until whatever remained of my sentence dissolved entirely, and I noticed, pulling back, the particular exhaustion sitting behind his eyes that matched my own."You look tired too.""I am tired. Thoroughly." He let me lead him toward the sofa this time, and I pulled his tie loose the way he usually did for me, working the knot free while he watched with something warm and grateful in his expression.We ended up tangled together with the last of yesterday's leftovers, both of us too exhausted to bother with anythi
He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 266: He Ignored His Phone for Me
"Are you sure it can wait," I asked, glancing once toward the phone still lying face down on the counter, some small guilt already starting to prick at me despite his obvious decision."It matters," Damien said, honest rather than dismissive, pulling me back against him properly. "It doesn't have to matter tonight.""That seems like a fine distinction.""It's an important one." He kissed my forehead, unhurried, entirely unwilling to let the conversation continue any further in that direction. "You don't need to rescue me from a boundary I set on purpose.""I wasn't trying to rescue you.""You were absolutely trying to rescue me," he said, and kissed me properly before I could argue further, effectively ending any remaining protest I might have offered."You're using kisses to end conversations," I said, once he'd pulled back far enough for me to speak again."It's proven remarkably effective so far.""That doesn't make it fair.""It doesn't need to be fair. It only needs to work," he
He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 265: I Made It Home for Dinner
I made it back to the regional site with just enough time to finish the pieces of the revised proposal that genuinely needed my attention, leaving the rest of the budget preparation squarely in Claire's hands. She glanced at me twice while I gathered my things, checking the clock on the wall a third time before I'd even finished packing my bag."You keep looking at the time," Claire said."I have somewhere to be.""You never have somewhere to be. You usually stay until the office empties around you." She said it without any real accusation, more curious than critical, and I felt a small, private satisfaction at being able to answer her honestly."Tonight's different.""Clearly." She waved me off with the particular ease of someone entirely capable of handling what remained without me hovering over her shoulder. "Go. I've got the rest of this."I left when I said I would, no last-minute crisis pulling me back through the door, no email demanding one more response before I could reasona

I stepped away from Claire and called him immediately, my thumb hovering over his name for only a second before pressing it. He answered on the second ring, his voice composed, occupied but not cold, the particular tone of a man mid-conversation with someone else in the room."I forgot," I said, before he could say anything at all. "Damien, I completely forgot about lunch. I'm so sorry.""I gathered as much," he said, dry humor threading through it despite everything. "The restaurant began clearing our table around one thirty, which felt like a reasonably clear signal.""I should have called earlier.""You should have," he agreed, no bite in it, simply plain acknowledgment. "The regional problem sounded important, though, from what little you managed to tell me this morning. We can have lunch another time."His reasonableness made everything worse somehow, the easy forgiveness sitting uncomfortably against something quieter underneath it that I could hear even through the phone. "Are
He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 263: Money Could Not Make Me Move Faster
The funding representative had nearly reached the door when I asked her to wait. She turned back with one hand still resting on the handle, while the regional partner lowered himself into his chair again with the weary expression of a man expecting another argument. Claire and Grace stayed where they were, watching me carefully."I'm not keeping the original launch date," I said. "More money wouldn't make this team ready faster, and the possibility of losing money doesn't change that. But a delayed launch doesn't have to mean we do nothing until the full programme opens."The funder released the door and faced me properly. "What are you proposing?"I pulled the abandoned notepad toward me, turning to a clean page. "The partner already has people asking for help. We can start weekly information sessions here without calling them New Ground enrolment. People can learn what support currently exists, get referred to services that are already operating and leave their contact details if th

I called the meeting for that afternoon, all four of them gathered around the small conference table at the regional site, and started without softening anything first. "There are two separate problems here," I said. "The partner's announcement needs to come down immediately, with a public correction that takes responsibility rather than blaming anyone who believed it. And New Ground's own approved launch date has to move as well, because this team isn't ready, and I committed to that timeline before I'd confirmed it was actually safe to promise."The partner's expression shifted immediately, some defensive edge rising before I'd even finished speaking. "Pulling the announcement now looks worse than leaving it up," he said. "We've generated real attention. If we retract it entirely, people will assume something's wrong internally, and the next time we announce anything, they won't believe us.""Something is wrong internally," Grace said, not unkindly, but without hesitation either.
