I thought after I said I wanted a divorce, Derek would back off. But I was wrong, so very wrong.

In the days that followed, Derek transformed into the perfect husband—too perfect. He woke up earlier to have breakfast with me. He came home earlier from the office. He brought me flowers every day, expensive chocolates, and attention he had never given me during our seven years of marriage.

And the highlight came one afternoon when he arrived with a wide smile and took me to the garage.

  • Lust for My Father-in-Law: The Plus-Size Secretary   Chapter 160 - THE END

    Our wedding was not held in a hurry.We went through a period of courtship again, learning to know each other as two people who had grown and changed.Nathaniel started attending couples counseling sessions with me, not because we were facing a big argument, but because we wanted to make sure our decision was built on healthy communication and trust.We also talked about the past honestly.Nathaniel didn't force me to move to London. Instead, he was willing to divide his time between London and Boston until we found the best arrangement for our family.He also didn't ask me to leave my job or my own life.I remained myself.And he learned to love the woman who now stood before him, not merely remembering the woman he had married years ago.Six months after Nathaniel fully recovered, he invited me to dinner at a small restaurant overlooking the River Thames.The place was simple, very different from the lavish parties we had once attended.After dinner, Nathaniel took out a small box f

    A week later, the doctor allowed Nathaniel to receive more visitors.I came with Louis in the morning.Nathaniel was sitting leaning against the bed when we entered the room. His face was no longer as pale as before, even though he still looked tired."Dad!"Louis ran toward him, then stopped before hugging him carefully.Nathaniel laughed softly."You came again, little champion.""I come every day!""In that case, I have to get better quickly so I can take you out."Louis nodded enthusiastically.I put the bag on the chair, then helped Nathaniel tidy his pillow."You look better."Nathaniel looked at me. "I feel better.""The doctor said you still have to rest.""I know.""Don't be stubborn."He smiled."You're still the same."I raised an eyebrow. "And you still like ignoring other people's advice."Nathaniel laughed softly, then grimaced because the movement made his body hurt.I immediately looked at him with worry."Are you okay?""Fine. Just a little pain."I helped him lean ba

    Sera's POV"Thank you."Nathaniel's voice sounded so weak that I could barely hear it.I gripped his hand tighter, afraid that if I let go, he would disappear from my sight again."Don't thank me. You need to rest."Nathaniel looked at me with still-dim eyes. He tried to move his head, but immediately grimaced in pain."Don't move!" I shouted panicked.He smiled faintly. "You still like scolding me."I fell silent.Even after an accident that almost took his life, Nathaniel still had time to make a joke.My tears flowed again."You almost made us lose you! Do you know how scared I was when I received that phone call? I couldn't even think properly. I just wanted to get here immediately."Nathaniel's smile slowly disappeared."Sera...""I don't care about what happened between us all this time. I don't care about our past. I just don't want Louis to lose his father."I fell silent, realizing how emotional my voice was.Nathaniel looked at me for a long time, then shifted his gaze to Lo

    Sera's POVI entered the house with trembling steps. Louis was sitting in the living room, playing with his wooden blocks, accompanied by Eleanor who was reading a storybook. He turned when I entered, and his smile immediately faded when he saw my face."Mom? Why?" he asked, standing up and running toward me.I knelt, hugging him tightly. "Louis, sweetheart, we have to go to London.""London? Now?""Yes. Your father is sick. He's in the hospital."Louis's eyes widened. "He's sick? Why?""He had an accident. We have to visit him."Louis looked at me for a long time, then nodded slowly. "I want to see him."I kissed his forehead, holding back tears. "Come on, let's pack your things."Two hours later, we were on the plane. Louis sat beside me, with his face pressed against the window.I looked at Louis, and my heart shattered. He was only seven years old. He had just gotten to know his father and now he had to face the possibility that his father might never wake up.I gripped his hand t

    Sera's POVDerek's arrival was truly beyond my expectations.I was sitting on the porch of Father's house, enjoying morning tea, when a car stopped in front of the gate. I raised my head, frowning. Who would come this early?The car door opened, and a figure got out. I gasped.Derek.My ex-husband. The man who once destroyed my life. The man who once cheated, who once hurt me, who once made me feel worthless.He walked toward me with careful steps, still a little stiff, but much better than the last time I saw him. He smiled faintly, a fragile smile, a smile full of something I couldn't explain."Sera," he said."Derek."He stopped in front of the porch steps, not daring to come up without my permission. "May I talk?"I hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Sit down."He climbed onto the porch carefully, then sat in the chair across from me. We sat in an awkward silence, not knowing what to say."You look well," he said."Thank you. You too."He smiled bitterly. "I've learned to walk
