Her Only Exception CHAPTER 218 - BREAKFAST GUESTS
Marcus walked over to where Mindy was standing, leaning down to poke Sophie's soft belly. Sophie blinked her cute eyes up at him like she was trying to recognize who he was, then she let out another little gurgle, reaching out to grab Marcus's thumb. Marcus’s face melted into a genuine, soft smile, letting the baby hold onto his finger. "Looks like she remembers you, Marcus," Mindy said, looking up at him with a proud smile. "Of course she does," Marcus said, lightly tapping the tip of Sophie's nose. "She knows who buys her the best stuffed animals." While Mindy and Marcus were completely distracted playing with the baby in the living room, Andrea took the bakery box and coffees over to the dining table. She began unpacking the warm cinnamon pastries onto a serving platter and setting out plates, napkins, and cups. Henry walked over to the kitchen island, pouring fresh water into glasses and bringing them over to help her set the table. "Need a hand?" Henry asked softly, leaning
Her Only Exception Chapter 217 - SO GROWN UP IN A WEEK
The next morning, the rich, dark aroma of freshly brewed espresso and the comforting scent of toasted artisan bread floated out from the kitchen, instantly making the grand, high-ceilinged penthouse apartment feel extraordinarily cozy and lived-in. Soft, golden morning light filtered through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, casting long, warm beams across the polished hardwood floors and plush area rugs.In the middle of the spacious living room rug, Henry sat cross-legged in a simple pair of dark lounge pants and a fitted grey t-shirt that showed off his broad shoulders. Stripped of his usual tailored suits and the commanding presence he carried in the boardroom, right now he was simply a devoted father, completely focused on the tiny life in front of him.He was gently holding a soft, plush yellow duck in front of little Sophie, who was sitting propped up against a carefully arranged pile of plush velvet cushions."Look at this, Sophie," Henry murmured, his deep, resonant voice c
Her Only Exception Chapter 216 - THE OTHER HALF
Inside Mindy’s cozy, modern apartment, the warm yellow ambient lights were dimmed to a soft glow. The city hummed faintly beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, but inside, everything felt quiet and contained. A faint scent of lavender from the diffuser still lingered in the air, mixing with the mild herbal smell of freshly steeped tea. Marcus sat on the plush gray sofa, wearing a simple white t-shirt and dark sweatpants, his posture finally loosening after the long day. His phone rested face-down on the glass coffee table, the screen dark after his call with Henry about the finalized Cole Group deal. He stretched both arms along the back of the cushions and let out a long, low sigh as the fatigue from the flight finally settled deep into his shoulders and legs. From the kitchen, the soft scrape of a bar stool against the floor announced Mindy’s approach. She walked into the living room carrying two mugs of warm tea, the silk of her nightie whispering against her thighs with each ste
Her Only Exception Chapter 215 - WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT, WIFE
Andrea pushed open the heavy wooden door to their master bedroom, stepping into the softly lit space.The steam from the master bathroom was just beginning to drift into the bedroom, carrying the crisp, clean scent of sandalwood and expensive body wash.Before Andrea could even head toward her side of the bed, the bathroom door swung open, and Henry walked out.Her breath caught in her throat, her feet practically glued to the rug.Henry stood there in the warm lighting, wearing nothing but a dark grey towel wrapped low around his waist. Droplets of water glistened on his broad shoulders, slowly trickling down the defined lines of his chest and abdomen. His dark hair was wet, slightly tousled, and dripping onto his neck.Looking at him right now, Andrea’s mind involuntarily flashed back to their trip to Paris two years ago when they were still strangers.She remembered it clearly—the luxurious hotel suite overlooking the Eiffel Tower, the quiet evening when Henry had ordered room serv
Her Only Exception Chapter 214 - LATE NIGHT CALLS
Andrea wrapped her sweater tighter around herself and leaned back against the outdoor sofa, the soft cushions sinking under her weight. The night air was cool against her face, carrying the distant hum of the city below. She held her phone to her ear and stared out at the glittering skyline, the lights blurring slightly as she blinked back the heaviness that had been sitting on her chest all evening. On the third ring, the line picked up. “Andrea?” Mindy’s voice came through, sounding slightly groggy but immediately sharpening with concern. “Are you okay? I was just about to text you.” “Bestie…” Andrea let out a long, heavy breath. The tight knot in her chest loosened just a little at the sound of her best friend’s voice. “I missed you so much. I’m sorry to call you so late, especially after your long flight back from London.” “Forget the flight, Andrea,” Mindy said quickly, and Andrea could hear the soft rustle of sheets as she shifted in bed. “I couldn’t even sleep properly bec
Her Only Exception Chapter 213 – Coming Home
The air inside Henry’s black SUV was cool and quiet, a sharp contrast to the suffocating smell of bleach in the hospital room. Henry drove smoothly through the evening traffic, keeping one hand steady on the steering wheel while his other hand reached across the center console, wrapping his fingers firmly around Andrea’s. Grandma Grace sat in the back seat, her hands resting over her wooden cane as she stared out the window at the passing city lights. "Are you alright back there, Grandma Grace?" Henry asked, checking her in the rearview mirror. "I'm fine, Henry," Grace said softly, letting out a long breath. "Just tired in my bones. It takes a lot out of you, looking at a ghost from seventeen years ago." Andrea squeezed Henry’s hand tighter, looking back at her grandmother. "Are you sure you don't want to come stay with us at the penthouse tonight, Grandma? We have plenty of room." "No, sweetheart," Grace shook her head gently. "I need my own bed tonight. I need some quiet to pr
Her Only Exception Chapter 6 - TRAPPED TOGETHER
By Friday evening, Andrea felt like her brain had been scraped clean. For four straight days she'd been buried under spreadsheets, reports and acquisition files, trying to understand the Hillcrest project with almost no guidance from Harrington. Every time she thought she was finally making progress
Her Only Exception Chapter 5 – THAT'S THE CEO?
It was three days into her new job, and Andrea hadn't embarrassed herself yet. Considering her first day had involved coming to work late, getting lost and arguing with a stranger in the executive wing, she considered that a personal achievement. Most of her time had been spent watching training vi
Her Only Exception Chapter 4 – EVERYTHING ABOUT HER
Andrea had been staring at the same training slide for almost ten minutes. Something about workplace compliance policies or data structure or maybe cybersecurity. At this point, she honestly had no idea anymore because every time she tried to focus, her mind drifted straight back to the man from t
Her Only Exception Chapter 3 - AFTER THEY COLLIDED
The elevator doors opened with a soft chime and Andrea stepped out onto the fiftieth floor, clutching the orientation papers against her chest. The atmosphere upstairs felt completely different from the rest of the company. The lower floors had been busy and noisy, filled with ringing phones and ca
