He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 288: He Thought We Had Made Up
"I know," I said again, and leaned into him, letting the words settle properly this time instead of just floating there between us. He kissed my forehead, something easing visibly in his shoulders, and I let that relief become mine too, at least for the night.We finished getting ready for bed together, the easy choreography of it returning naturally, him stealing the warmer side of the blanket before I could claim it, me retaliating by taking more than my share of pillows. "This is aggressive redistribution," he said, watching me arrange three pillows exactly where I wanted them."This is justice.""You said that about the dish towel incident too. Everything is justice with you.""Everything is justice when I'm the one deciding," I said, and he laughed, pulling me against him anyway despite the pillow theft, and I settled into the warmth of him, the joke from the reception still sitting somewhere underneath everything, unnamed and unresolved, though I didn't reach for it again that n
He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 287: That Joke Wasn’t Funny
"Apparently I need an appointment to see my own wife," Damien said, easy and dry, already smiling. "She sent me a calendar invitation for dinner. An actual meeting request, title and everything."The couple laughed, delighted, the husband clapping Damien lightly on the shoulder, and I laughed too, small and automatic, the correct social response arriving before I'd fully registered what had just happened. Underneath it, something tightened, quick and unexpected, the sentence replaying itself before I could push it away. He'd made it sound like I'd scheduled an appointment with him, assigned him a slot, as though the most vulnerable thing I'd offered him in weeks had become nothing more than administrative proof of how impossible our lives had gotten.Someone asked Damien a follow-up question about his own schedule, and he answered easily, then turned and caught my hand again, pulling me slightly forward into the conversation. "Olivia's actually the one who makes it work," he said, som
He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 286: Everyone Thought We Made it Look Easy
The week had passed in ordinary rhythm since the sketchbook evening, dinner together most nights, affection intact in every small gesture, no new cancellations to carry forward. I still thought of the terrible portrait occasionally, propped now on Damien's desk where he'd insisted on framing it despite every protest, and the memory of it made me smile while I finished dressing for the reception.Damien appeared in the bedroom doorway already in his jacket, and stopped completely when he saw me, something visibly derailed crossing his expression. "You're staring.""I'm recalibrating.""That's not an answer.""I had an entire sentence prepared about the car and the timing, and it's gone. Entirely gone." He crossed the room slowly, hands finding my waist, and I let him look, enjoying it openly."Say the sentence anyway.""I don't remember it," he admitted, and kissed my shoulder instead, unhurried despite the clock, and I had to be the one to finally pull back and remind him we actually
He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 285: We Used The Pencils Anyway
The word stalled, and Damien's eyes moved past me to the pencils still sitting on the counter, something shifting in his expression before I could finish failing to finish the sentence."We have tonight," he said simply, and crossed to the sketchbook, flipping it open to the first blank page, pressing one of the pencils into my hand before I could object properly."I'm exhausted. I haven't drawn in years.""You don't need to be good at it. You need to hold still less than I do." He settled onto a kitchen chair with exaggerated formality, folding his hands like a man posing for an official portrait. "Begin.""This is absurd.""This is art," he said, entirely serious, and I gave up arguing, pulling a chair close and studying him properly for the first time in longer than I wanted to admit, the line of his jaw, the particular way his mouth sat when he was trying not to smile.He lasted perhaps forty seconds before breaking position, leaning forward to see what I'd drawn, and I swatted hi
He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 284: This Time, I Was the One Who Cancelled
Damien woke slower than usual, still visibly tired, but his hand found my waist before either of us had properly opened our eyes. "You put the second earring in," he said, something fond in his voice. "I noticed.""You were half asleep when you got home.""I wasn't too asleep for that." He pulled me closer, his mouth finding my shoulder, and I let myself enjoy the lazy warmth of it, no rush pulling either of us toward the day yet."I have something arranged for tonight," he said eventually. "I moved the thing I had scheduled, confirmed you're actually free, and I'd like you to trust me with the rest.""No hints?""None. I've learned from your restaurant secrecy. Turnabout seems fair.""That's a flimsy excuse for withholding information from your wife.""It's an excellent excuse," he said, kissing me properly this time, slow enough that neither of us moved toward getting up for several more minutes.A photograph arrived midmorning, nothing but a corner of something wrapped in paper, de
He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 283: He Cancelled Our Date
A message arrived from Damien midmorning, nothing more than Still thinking about chocolate, and I grinned at my desk long enough that Claire glanced over with a raised eyebrow I ignored entirely. I left the partner check-in fully in her hands without a second thought, the satisfaction of walking out on time settling into something close to pride, and spent longer than strictly necessary deciding what to wear, the earrings he'd once told me he liked finally finding their way out of the drawer.You still haven't told me the restaurant, Damien texted while I was getting ready.You'll find out when you get there.I have theories.All wrong, I typed back, smiling at my own reflection in a way I hadn't done in weeks.His call came while I was finishing my makeup, and I answered expecting more teasing about the restaurant, not the particular weight already sitting in his voice before he said a single word. "The term we negotiated last week just got challenged by the other party," he said. "T
