Her Only Exception CHAPTER 242 - YES, I'LL MARRY YOU!
Two days later, Marcus stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of Henry and Andrea’s penthouse, nervously pacing the rug. Henry sat on the sofa with baby Sophie in his arms, while Andrea poured tea at the kitchen island, watching Marcus with an amused, affectionate smile.Marcus reached into his pocket, pulling out a sleek velvet box and placing it carefully on the island counter. "I need your help. Both of you."Andrea walked over, looking at the box before looking up at Marcus with her eyes widening. "Wait, Is this...""It’s time," Marcus said, letting out a breath he felt like he’d been holding since landing back in Chicago. "I want to propose tonight. But I don't want it at a crowded restaurant or a public venue. Mindy loves design, light, and private spaces. I found a quiet, private glass studio gallery downtown near the river—warm lighting, views of the city, and surrounded by fresh white lilies. Do you think she’s going to like it?""White lilies," Andrea smiled
Her Only Exception Chapter 241 - THIS IS HOME
The dinner rush was still going strong when the front door chimed again.Mindy looked up from her seat near the window. The moment she saw who was walking in, her face lit up. “They made it!”The door opened fully and Mindy’s parents, Olivia and David, stepped inside, followed closely by her two brothers, Darius and Mark. They came in quickly, brushing the cool evening air off their coats and shoulders. For a second they just stood near the entrance, looking around the packed dining room with clear surprise. The warm lights, the full tables, the low sound of conversation and silverware — it was a lot to take in at once.“We made it,” Olivia said, smoothing down her coat as she walked toward the main table. “Traffic coming off the interstate was terrible. We were stuck for almost forty minutes. Andrea, sweetheart, congratulations. Look at this place. It’s beautiful.”Andrea came out from near the kitchen pass as soon as she heard them. She wiped her hands on her apron and walked straig
Her Only Exception CHAPTER 240 - GRAND OPENING NIGHT
By six-thirty, Oak Street was lined with cars waiting under the streetlights. People walked along the sidewalk toward Chez Marguerite, some checking the name on the window before stepping inside. The gold lettering on the glass caught the light from the street and from the warm lamps inside the restaurant.Inside, the dining room was full. Every table was taken. Soft amber lights hung above the dark olive booths, and the room felt warm and busy. Servers moved between tables with trays of food and bottles of wine. The sound of silverware, quiet talking, and soft laughter filled the space. The smell of cooked meat, garlic, and fresh bread came from the kitchen every time the doors opened.Near the front window, in the booth Andrea had saved for them, Grandma Grace sat with Aunt Sylvia and Uncle Rowan. Grace wore a navy dress and a simple pearl necklace. She looked around the room slowly, taking in the tables, the lights, and the people.“Look at this place, Sylvia,” Grace said as she sm
Her Only Exception Chapter 139 - CHEZ MARGUERITE
The morning sun hit the glass storefront on Oak Street, catching the delicate gold lettering painted across the main window and making the words *Chez Marguerite* glow against the dark frame. Inside, the restaurant was quiet in that particular way spaces feel just before they come fully alive — polished, waiting, full of held breath. Mindy stood near the center of the dining room, adjusting a linen napkin on a four-top table with the ease of someone who had already done it three times. She stepped back, hands on her hips, eyes narrowed as she checked the symmetry of the place settings against the soft overhead light. “Shift it half an inch to the left,” Andrea called out, walking in from the back hallway with a box of small brass candleholders balanced against her hip. Mindy shot her a look. “I am a professional designer, Andrea. My eye is precise.” Still, she nudged the plate half an inch anyway. Then she tilted her head back, taking in the warm brass light fixtures hanging from
Her Only Exception CHAPTER 238 - WELCOME HOME
Two months had slipped by, taking the sharp edge of grief with them and leaving behind a quiet, busy momentum. Jeremy’s affairs had been settled, life at home had found a steady rhythm, and the heavy rain of early autumn had given way to a crisp, clear afternoon in Chicago. Inside the arrivals terminal at O'Hare International Airport, the crowd was thick with people waiting near the international exit gates. Mindy stood near the metal barricade, her eyes glued to the sliding glass doors. She smoothed down the front of her tailored cream trench coat for the fourth time in ten minutes, shifting her weight from foot to foot. "If you pace any faster, Mindy, you're going to wear a hole in the marble floors," Andrea said with a warm laugh, standing right beside her. "I can't help it," Mindy murmured, checking her watch again. "His flight landed thirty minutes ago. What's taking so long? What if customs is taking forever?" "He's getting his bags, Mindy. Relax," Henry said smoothly, stan
Her Only Exception CHAPTER 237 - HE'S GONE!
The morning sun was barely up when Andrea pulled her car into Grandma Grace’s driveway. She turned off the engine and sat in the quiet car for a moment, letting out a slow breath before taking her keys and stepping outside. When Grace opened the front door, she took one look at Andrea’s face and instantly knew. "Oh, sweetie," Grace murmured softly. Andrea stepped into the warm hallway, closing the door behind her. "He passed away last night, Grandma. Around midnight. The hospital called us." Grace stood still for a second, her hands clasping together in front of her cardigan. She let out a soft, heavy sigh, her eyes shining with silent tears, but her expression remained calm. She walked over to the small sofa in the living room and sat down, patting the cushion beside her. Andrea sat down next to her, taking her grandmother’s cold hand in hers. "Was he in any pain?" Grace asked, her voice low and steady. "No," And
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
Her Only Exception Chapter 2 - THE FRESH START
Andrea woke with a sharp inhale, her body jolting upright before her mind fully caught up. For a brief second, everything felt still, almost peaceful… until reality crashed back in. Her phone lit up beside her. 7:37 AM. “Shit.” The word slipped out under her breath as her heart kicked hard a
