"Mom, did you find that fairy tale book?" Celine's voice was low but sharp, each syllable edged with impatience as she spoke into her phone.

She sat on the king-sized bed, still dressed in silk pajamas that clung to her frame.

The luxurious hotel room was dimly lit by warm bedside lamps, casting soft shadows across the plush carpet and elegant furniture.

Outside the tall windows, the city sprawled beneath them, its lights glittering like scattered diamonds, a celebration of what everyone beli

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 172: The Fire of Lingering Hope

    Marcel sat across from Nathan in his office, his face calm but his words sharp enough to cut through the heavy silence hanging in the room. Earlier, he had been pacing restlessly beside the glass walls, his polished shoes scraping lightly against the tiled floor, but now he leaned against the edge of the desk with his arms folded firmly across his chest.His eyes stayed fixed on Nathan.“Boss,” he said quietly, “the stakeholders were right. You know they don’t talk that way unless it’s serious. The media has been on our neck since the whole uproar about Jennifer’s pregnancy. Headlines everywhere. It’s not just you, it’s dragging the company down.”Nathan pressed his lips together tightly, biting hard enough to feel pain sting through them.Slowly, Nathan turned his swivel chair away from Marcel. For a moment, only his back was visible while his reflection appeared faintly against the tinted glass walls.His voice came out strained.“So what do you suggest I do now then?”Marcel hesi

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 171: Living the Disgrace

    It had been one month since the scandal that shook the Mills mansion, yet for Rosemary, the shame still clung stubbornly to her heart like smoke that refused to disappear after a fire. Every morning she woke up hoping the humiliation would fade a little, but instead it returned stronger, replaying itself vividly in her mind.Jennifer Drake’s trembling voice. The pregnancy revelation. The reporters’ flashing cameras. The whispers. The gossip.Rosemary could still hear it all.The memories tormented her endlessly. Sometimes she sat alone in her room for hours, staring into space while the events replayed over and over in her head like punishment. The disgrace had bruised her pride deeply.She rarely stepped outside now.The once-powerful woman who attended charity galas, business dinners, and elite gatherings with confidence had suddenly withdrawn from society. Even the thought of stepping out of the mansion made her chest tighten painfully.She imagined people whispering the moment

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 170: The DNA Test Result

    In the living room, Rosemary sat stiffly on the couch, her phone pressed tightly against her ear. Her face was stone cold while her tone remained sharp and commanding.“Yes, I need you here now, to attend to someone,” she said firmly.On the other end, the family doctor’s voice sounded calm and professional. “What exactly am I coming to treat, Mrs. Mills? I’ll need to bring the right tools.”Rosemary’s lips tightened instantly. “I want you to check if a bitch is pregnant, and to identify the true father.”There was silence briefly on the line before the doctor cleared his throat awkwardly.“Okay, Mrs. Mills. I’ll be there shortly.”Rosemary ended the call immediately, lowering her hand slowly onto her lap. For several seconds, she simply stared blankly at the wall ahead of her, her chest rising and falling heavily with restrained anger.The atmosphere inside the mansion had become unbearably tense.Even the ticking wall clock sounded cautious, almost afraid of provoking Rosemary’s t

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 169: The Pregnancy Confession

    Jennifer quickly apologized, her words tumbling out of her mouth, saying she didn’t mean to get Rosemary upset. Her face was pale, her body trembling as though she had been caught in a terrible act. But Rosemary wasn’t moved by the sudden display of fear. She had advanced closer to her now, her eyes steady, her lips tightened, her breathing sharp. The tension in the air was so thick that even the sound of the restroom tap running faintly could not cut through it.Rosemary wasn't a woman who wasted words. She was the kind of person who could look at you and make your knees buckle.In her silence, Jennifer already knew she was in trouble. “Apologize?” Rosemary asked, chuckling sadly, though her eyes betrayed rage. “You think one sorry will erase the embarrassment you’ve just caused this family? You nearly turned my nephew’s home into a circus. Tell me, Jennifer who is responsible for this pregnancy?”The question dropped heavily inside the restroom.Jennifer’s hands trembled harder

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 168: The Rage Behind Closed Doors

    Rosemary Mills climbed down from the stage with firm, controlled steps, though her heart hammered violently inside her chest. Her face remained composed, elegant, unreadable, but inside her, anger and fear battled fiercely.Without saying another word, she headed straight toward the restroom Jennifer Drake had rushed into moments earlier.The crowd parted immediately for her.The reporters watched hungrily, sensing scandal thickening in the air. Cameras flashed endlessly around Rosemary.But she ignored everything.The penetrating gazes. The restless whispers. The aggressive reporters trying to follow behind her.Her attention remained fixed on only one person.Jennifer.At that moment, nothing else mattered to her anymore.When all a woman wants is for the person she loves to live peacefully and happily, every other thing slowly loses meaning.Nathan remained standing where Jennifer left him.His chest rose and fell heavily.Confusion clouded his face.Marcel stood beside him silent

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 167: The Storm Beneath Smiles

    Rosemary Mills stood gracefully beneath the golden chandelier lights, her red gown flowing elegantly around her body as she faced the crowd. The expensive fabric shimmered each time the cameras flashed, and the diamonds around her neck sparkled with intimidating brilliance. In moments like this, she looked every inch the powerful matriarch people feared and respected in equal measure.The hall remained quiet after the earlier applause, everyone waiting for her next words.Nathan stood near the center of the room, one hand buried inside his pocket while the other loosely held a glass of untouched wine. Though he wore an expensive black suit tailored perfectly to his body, there was still an emptiness in his eyes no designer cloth could hide.Beside him stood Jennifer Drake, clinging subtly to his arm as if trying to claim her territory before the entire room.Rosemary inhaled slowly before speaking again.“Ladies and gentlemen,” she said, stepping closer to the microphone with measu
