Chapter 369

Author: Your Candy
Isolde's voice was soft and sweet, with a coquettish lilt. "Hubby, I want lobster. Peel it for me."

Bruce straightened, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Almost mechanically, he picked up a lobster and carefully peeled it.

He was about to place it on the spoon when Isolde suddenly leaned forward, parted her lips, and bit the lobster straight from his fingers.

Her soft, warm lips, whether intentional or not, brushed his fingertips. A faint but electric jolt shot from his fingers through his entire bo

    Bruce's nose brushed lightly against Isolde\s. The intimacy sent a sharp electric thrill through Isolde, a tingling rush that swept from head to toe.His low, seductive whisper brushed her ear. "You figure it out yourself."'Figure out what?' Isolde's thoughts scattered. The man before her was irresistibly charming, and her heart raced out of control.One wild thought took hold. 'Four days… I don't even want to share him with anyone for a single minute.'He was hers.Bruce let out a low laugh, his chest vibrating with quiet delight. He adored her jealousy, her petty possessiveness, all of it directed at him. Whether it was real or feigned, born of love or something else, he accepted it without reservation.He drew her tightly into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head. His voice was deep and steady. "All right. Then you won't have to. For the next four days, we'll stay together and pass the time. When they're over, I'll take you to Caldovia, and we'll have a proper ho

    Bruce's pupils flickered, each word she spoke striking his ears like thunder.Isolde knew the truth. Just as he had once expected, she chose not to continue the treatment. But her reason overturned everything he had assumed. It was not pride or responsibility. She cared more about him. She had said it plainly: he mattered more than healing her hands.Shock and various emotions surged through him, tightening his throat until he could not speak.Isolde's soft words were lethal, leaving him with no defense.Bruce drew a steady breath and forced himself to regain a measure of clarity. His voice came out low and firm. "Your hands must be treated. Isolde, I don't need you to make that choice for me. Your hands matter. You should live freely and do whatever you want."If you want to be a research genius, then be one. If you want to be the boss's wife, then be that. You shouldn't be forced to choose only the latter. Besides…"He paused, his tone softening. "Things aren't as serious as yo

    The car sped along and finally stopped outside the international airport's departure hall.Bruce stared at the terminal through the window, his brows slightly furrowed.Isolde had already stepped out. She looped her arm through his and led him inside. She brought him to the counter and had the staff print two tickets. They were for a flight to Caldovia, departing in one hour.They were one-way tickets with no return."Karsden is too cold. I've wanted to go to Caldovia to soak up the sun for a long time." Isolde tilted her face up at him, her eyes bright with anticipation. "Travel should be spontaneous. That's where the surprise comes from. Hubby, let's go. We've been married so long and never even had a honeymoon. This time, think of it as making it up to me, okay?"Bruce did not answer at once. He looked at the destination and departure time on the tickets, his brows knitting tighter, his voice low. "You have treatment tomorrow.""I don't want to continue it," Isolde said firmly

    The man who had secretly loved her throughout his youth stood alone at the edge of the crowd, watching from afar. In the end, he turned away in silence and disappeared into the brightly lit entrance of the banquet hall.The screen dimmed, and the credits rolled.A wave of regret swept through the theater. Several emotional viewers sighed softly or wiped away tears.Isolde felt a heavy weight settle in her chest.The story of the man in the film, who had silently protected her yet ultimately missed his chance, pricked at her memory like a fine needle.Her thoughts drifted to her own engagement party.She had worn a pre-wedding dress and held Alan's arm when, by chance, she spotted Bruce among the guests. He had just returned from abroad and still looked travel-worn.When he saw her, shock crossed his face, followed by barely restrained hostility.At the time, she had assumed it stemmed from that absurd night between them, and from the fact that she was about to marry his cousin.

    At the palace…Claudia sat on a luxurious leather sofa. Her beautiful face was ashen, and her chest rose with restrained anger."Are you certain not a single photo or video reached Her Majesty?" Her voice was tight as she held back her rage."Yes, Your Highness," her personal shadow guard replied with respect. "All related materials were intercepted and completely wiped before they could gain traction."Claudia exhaled slowly. The tension in her shoulders eased slightly, but the resentment in her chest did not fade.In the next instant, she seized the crystal glass in front of her and hurled it onto the polished marble floor.The sharp crash rang out as water and shards of glass scattered across the floor."Bruce!" she snapped, her teeth clenched, each word forced out. "You dishonest bastard!"She had planned everything with care. She had even accepted the stigma of being the other woman to create the impression that Bruce was deeply infatuated with her and that his relationshi

    "You don't get it. Even when people in high society divorce, they do it with class. Watching one last movie together as a send-off feels like a proper beginning and ending.""Tsk. Are rich people's goodbyes always this romantic? I learned something new today."…Bruce had just taken the two cups of Coke from the staff when his grip shifted, causing some of the ice-cold drink to spill over his fingers.His expression darkened. 'Last movie? Goodbye? These people…'He ground his molars and pushed the cup back. "Change it."After getting the cola and popcorn again, he turned and strode toward Isolde.Under countless subtle glances from those around them, he extended his arm and pulled her openly into his embrace, his posture intimate and possessive.He lowered his head and handed her the only large cup of Coke he held. The lid had two straws."They're out of single cups." His tone remained calm, but his eyes flickered slightly. "This is all that's left."Isolde blinked. She had c

    Besides, the couple might not even be willing to share food with them."So what's your plan? Not eat or drink and wait to starve to death?" Bruce's voice carried a sharp edge of anger."During a lockdown, the government should provide supplies, right? Or at least allow purchases through specific c

    A flicker of guilt crossed Sandra's eyes.Then she recited the words she had prepared long ago. "I heard there was a severe shortage of medicine here, so I brought a large supply with me, hoping I could help a little. But somehow the news leaked. Before I even left the airport, they went crazy and

    When she opened her eyes again, Isolde found herself in an unfamiliar living room.She lay on the sofa, her body burning, a sharp ache deep in her bones. Barely able to prop herself up, she scanned the room through blurred vision.Joan lay curled on the other end of the sofa, her face ashen.The

    The driver snapped his head around, panic flooding his voice. "Mr. Princeton! S-Something's happened!"Alan's heart clenched as a sharp sense of dread surged upward."Ms. Carter… She also came to Preta. Her plane had just landed when a group of infected patients surrounded her near the airport. Th
