  They pulled up outside a discreet, upscale restaurant tucked behind a row of townhouses. Candlelight shimmered through the windows.

Inside, everything was warm and muted—white tablecloths, low conversation, soft piano murmuring beneath it all.

Emily reached for her menu. Then paused.

Her eyes had caught something.

At Adrian’s wrist, just beneath the cuff of his jacket, was a familiar flash of deep navy.

She leaned in slightly. “Wait… are you wearing—?”

He followed her gaze. Said nothing.

She reached out, brushing her fingers lightly against it. A blue-toned cufflink, imperfect in shape but carefully made. The one she’d designed in high school, just for him.

Her voice was quiet. “I can’t believe I’m only noticing it now.”

“You weren’t supposed to,” Adrian said. “I just… wanted to wear it.”

She turned his wrist gently in her hand, studying it. The enamel was intact. The edges smooth. No scratches.

“You’ve kept it in perfect condition.”

“I tried.”

“Did you ever wear it? You know… durin

  • I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 128 The Flight Toward Him

      Night had fallen by the time Emily made the international call.  She sat by the bedroom window, the city lights behind her casting long shadows across the floor. The world outside was quiet, stilled in twilight, but halfway across the globe, it was morning already—sunlight pouring over distant vineyards and limestone hills. She dialed the number listed at the bottom of the wine estate’s emails, her fingers steady despite the thrum in her chest.  A few rings.  Then a woman’s voice—warm, polished, with the faintest trace of a European accent—answered.  “Good evening, Leclair Wine Estate.”  Emily hesitated for half a breath. Then said gently,“Hello. My name is Emily Hart Blackwoods. I believe…you’ve been working with my husband for some time.”  There was a pause on the other end. Then a small, delighted gasp.  “Oh! Mrs. Blackwoods. My goodness—we’ve heard so much about you. It’s an honor to finally speak with you. Is there anything we can assist you with?”  Emily’s lips curved

  • I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 127 The Year He Waited

      Most replies over the years were purely logistical. Address confirmations. Shipping instructions. Name labels.  Early entries all bore the same default phrasing:  Label:Ms. Emily Hart  Requested by:A. Blackwoods  But then she saw the timestamp.  The date they got married.  On that day, he had replied to the wine estate’s routine inquiry:  “Would you like to keep the current label format:Ms.?”  Adrian’s response was brief, typed in that same composed tone she knew by heart:  Please update to:Mrs. Blackwoods.  There’s something special I’d like to share—yes, we got married.  She blinked.  It wasn’t just that he’d kept every part of her in his world.  It was that he’d claimed it, quietly, without spectacle.  Even in a place she’d never meant to look.  And somehow, it felt more intimate than any public vow.  Emily sat still in front of the screen, her fingers trembling slightly above the mousepad.So many dates.So many moments.Each one chosen, remembered, recorded—like

  • I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 126 Every Bottle, A Memory

      A few days later, Adrian left the country.  Emily woke alone the next morning, the bed still faintly warm where he’d last laid. On the pillow beside her, a folded note waited, written in his slanted, elegant handwriting.  Remember to eat well. The chef will still come by every day at the usual time.  Call me if you feel even a little lonely.  We’ll video chat every night. I already miss you.  —A.  She smiled, touched the edge of the note, and tucked it carefully into her drawer.  The first few days passed in quiet rhythm. Mornings with soft light and coffee, afternoons spent working in her studio. The private chef arrived at noon each day, polite and precise, preparing elegant meals in the sleek open kitchen.  By the fourth day, the doorbell rang unexpectedly.  It was Lila.  And Adrian’s mother.  “We figured you’d pretend you’re not lonely,”Lila said with a grin, walking right in with a paper bag full of pastries.“So we decided not to give you the chance.”  “We just came

  • I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 124 Stay a Little Longer

      Emily let out a quiet laugh and leaned back in her chair, stretching her arms.“That’s a dangerously sweet thing to say.”  He walked toward her now, slow and unhurried, until he was standing right behind her chair.  “Is it?”He leaned down slightly, his breath warm near her ear.“Because I meant every word.”  She tilted her head to look up at him.“You always know exactly what to say.”  “Only when I’m looking at you.”  His hand came to rest gently on her shoulder, thumb brushing the edge of her collarbone.  Emily reached up and covered his hand with hers.  Emily tilted her head, her gaze catching on the side of his neck. Her smile froze for a second, then softened into something slightly flustered.  She reached out without thinking, fingertips brushing lightly along the edge of his collar.  “That…”she murmured, biting her lip.“That’s from last night.”  Adrian’s lips curved, slow and deliberate.“Mm. I know.”  A faint flush rose to her cheeks. She glanced instinctively at the o

  • I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 123 You Were Her Past Tense

      Mike’s scoff was almost a bark.“You expect me to believe that?”  “She knows everything now. There’s nothing left to hide.”  “Bullshit,”Mike snapped.“She might not want me anymore, fine. But she’ll never fully trust you. You don’t get to have her heart. Not really.”  Adrian didn’t respond at first.  But then Mike’s eyes narrowed, his words caught.  He was staring at something—something just beneath Adrian’s collar.  A faint, pale mark at the curve of his neck. Barely visible, but unmistakable.  His expression froze. Then shifted.  Rage. Envy. Realization.  He stepped back half a pace, as if the air had knocked out of him.  But then, calmly, he adjusted the collar of his coat.  His voice came low—measured, but with an unmistakable edge.  “Well, since we’re throwing around the word liar…”  He stepped forward, gaze steady.  “You want to talk about deception? Let’s talk about you using someone else’s phone to send that message to her. Pretending it came from someone she tru
