  She grabbed her coffee and took a quick sip to cover her reaction.But it was too late—her entire face felt like it was on fire.

  "When we what?"she managed to say.

  Adrian remained perfectly calm,as if he hadn’t just casually mentioned marriage over breakfast.

  "When we get married,"he repeated,setting down his coffee cup with ease."I assume you’ll want to keep eating food like this."

  Emily stared at him,utterly thrown.

  He had said it so naturally,so certainly,as if their marriage was already a settled matter.

  "Adrian…"She swallowed,suddenly feeling restless."You can’t just—say things like that so casually."

  His gaze softened ever so slightly."You don’t have to be nervous,"he said smoothly."I’m not forcing you to decide anything right now."

  Emily opened her mouth,then closed it,unsure how to respond.

  He was so calm about it.So assured.

  As if he knew she would say yes eventually.

  She set

  • I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 131 A Breath Between Heartbeats

      Her breath hitched as his hand found the curve of her waist, pulling her closer until there was no space left between them.“You’re everything,” he murmured against her collarbone, his lips brushing the delicate skin there, as if mapping a constellation only he could see.She smiled, her fingers threading through his hair, guiding him back to her gaze.Their eyes locked, and in that moment, the world beyond the room ceased to exist—just them, tangled in the quiet rhythm of their shared breaths.He moved with her, slow and deliberate, each touch a promise, each sigh a confession.Her dress slipped from her shoulders, pooling at her waist like spilled silk.  His shirt followed, discarded without thought. They took their time, as if relearning each other—inch by inch, breath by breath.When his hand grazed the inside of her thigh, she shivered, not from cold but from the aching tenderness in his touch. He paused, looking up at her, asking without words.She answered with a kiss, deep

  • I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 130 No More Waiting

      She kissed him.  The taste of wine still lingered on her lips, but it was him she was searching for—him she was finding.  When she finally pulled back, her voice was low, eyes damp.  “Don’t ever store something that bitter again,”she whispered.“So strong. So harsh. So—sad.”  Adrian didn’t answer with words. He leaned in and kissed her back—slowly, gently, as if trying to rewrite every ache she had just swallowed.  When they parted, he rested his forehead against hers. His breath was warm against her cheek.  “It’s over,”he murmured.“All of it. Don’t be sad anymore. I have you now. That’s enough for me.”  His arms wrapped around her again, drawing her close, and this time, he didn’t let go.  They moved together, slowly, until the backs of her knees touched the edge of the round table in the center of the room. She didn’t resist when he lifted her up, settling her gently onto its surface. Through it all, their hands remained intertwined—never once breaking apart.  “I added a n

  • I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 129 Found

      The woman hesitated only a moment. Then nodded, retrieving it with careful hands and pouring a small glass.  Emily lifted it to her nose first.  Dark berries. Tobacco. Blackcurrant. A touch of smoke.  Then the taste.  Sharp.  Tart.  Uncompromising.  It hit the tongue with a punch of acid and tannin—unyielding, intense, bone-dry. A wine that didn’t pretend to be gentle. Complex, yes. Structured, absolutely. But it carried the kind of bitterness that lingered long after the first sip.  Emily swallowed slowly.  The back of her throat burned.  And suddenly, she understood.  This was what it had felt like for him. That year. That silence. That kind of waiting—not soft or hopeful, but bruised and hollow. The wine didn’t cry out. It endured.  Just like he had.  She set the glass down.  Her fingers hovered for a moment above the bottles…then reached for a new one. One that hadn’t yet been stored.  “I’d like to add one,”she said.  The attendant brought over the form.  Emily

  • 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
