Mr. Frost’s Reluctant Prisoner Bride Chapter 282
Lately, Vanessa's temper had improved significantly. She argued with Julian less often, and even in sleep, she would face him, her hand occasionally reaching out, unbidden, to embrace him.Julian found this very agreeable; his own complexion had brightened considerably.In the past, with Ivy, he had never truly experienced what it was like to be with someone he loved. Being with Vanessa was different. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder as the cold wind seeped into his bones.Julian pulled her clothes tighter around her. "We'll go back to my place in a few days. We won't live with Great-Grandpa anymore.""What's wrong? Didn't you want to live here at first?"Back then, it had been to humiliate Vanessa, to place another layer of shackles on her, to have the Old Master keep her in line. But now, Julian no longer wanted to treat Vanessa that way. He wanted to treat her as his true wife."Great-Gran

The private room wasn't crowded. Since his marriage, Julian rarely frequented such places. Adrian was about to get married, making it even more crucial that the Zimmerman didn't find out.However, Monica's demands weren't that high.All she asked was for Adrian to maintain a basic level of loyalty.When the door opened, a flicker of panic crossed Adrian's eyes. He quickly stood up, pulling Monica to sit beside him. “Why didn't you say anything when you arrived?”“I just happened to be walking by, and I guessed you'd be here.”Monica glanced at Julian, who was standing nearby. “Guess who came with me?”“Who?” Adrian followed Monica's gaze to Julian. “Why are you looking at him?”“Because Vanessa came with me.”At the mention of Vanessa's name, Julian's eyelashes trembled slightly. “Vanessa came with you?”Monica leaned against Adrian's sho

Monica offered to give Kelly a ride.She sat in the passenger seat, turning to smile at Kelly. "Speaking of which, Vanessa's ear hasn't fully healed yet. We'll still need to trouble Dr. Lane."Her tone when she said this clearly indicated she already considered herself Adrian's wife and Vanessa's sister-in-law.Kelly's expression was as usual, though with a hint of gravity. "Miss Brooks's ear, I'm afraid, will be very difficult to fully recover. I've asked her a few times, but she doesn't genuinely want to get it healed.""That's just how Vanessa is, a bit stubborn."Kelly nodded. "If it's convenient for Mr. Voss, perhaps he could try to persuade her. If things continue like this, it could lead to many long-term complications.""Who can control her?" Adrian truly couldn't. "If she's willing to suffer, then let her suffer.""What kind of brother are you?" Monica was immediately displeased. "Alright, let me talk to Vanessa. If there's a

Between the mess at home and the endless issues with the wedding, Adrian was burdened by a heavy heart, his frustration etched plainly on his face. Kelly, however, said nothing, like a stranger sharing a table. “Are you really not going to eat? It’s such a waste.”“If you like it, eat more.”Somehow.Ever since he helped Kelly last time, he had unconsciously ended up having dinner with her many times. Being with her was far more relaxing than being with Monica. “Has that man who harassed you been bothering you again?”Kelly blew on the soup in her spoon, took a cautious sip. The broth was incredibly fresh, and a visible relaxation smoothed over her features. “No, but my family has been arranging a lot of people for me to meet recently.”“Aren’t you and Felix from the same hospital? He’d be a suitable candidate.”“Dr. Keller?”Kelly quickly shook her head. “Dr. Keller comes from an excellent family. I’m not good enough for him.”

Vanessa rather liked the sound of coffee beans being ground. Standing by the bar, she listened as Julian explained from behind her, "So, you’re going to be Adrian’s stand-in, taking care of Leila.""Not taking care of her, just giving her a place to stay."That sounded really nice. Anyone who didn't know better would think Julian was a saint."Is this for Ivy?"Julian tasted the coffee Vanessa had personally ground. He added some milk and sugar; it was a bit too sweet. "I suppose so. You know I have no feelings for Leila. Why else would I have sent her to Adrian?""Isn’t it because there’s a dirty trade between you two, using women for personal gain?"Vanessa showed absolutely no mercy. "Julian, I don’t care how you arrange things for Leila. And don't bother pretending you're asking for my opinion. Our marriage is fake to begin with.""Vanessa, for me, this is my only marriage."Vanessa turned, a slight smile playing on her lip
Mr. Frost’s Reluctant Prisoner Bride Chapter 277
The call from Leila came in the dead of night, jarring Julian awake. They hadn't spoken in two years, not since Adrian's birthday party. He hesitated, a fleeting thought, then answered, propping himself against the headboard. His gaze drifted to the figure beside him, Vanessa, her back to him, deep in sleep. Every night since their marriage, it had been the same. An embrace? That was an even more distant memory.Leila's choked sobs shattered the quiet stillness. "Julian, please, can you come get me? Adrian kicked me out. My sister... even for my sister's sake, please.""Why would he kick you out?""I don't know," she whimpered. "He just said it was because of my sister."Leila, bundled with her luggage, was sitting by the main gate. "Julian, please hurry. It's freezing out here.""Leila," he warned, his voice low. "You had better not be lying to me.""I'm not!" she insisted. "Have I come seeking you out at all these past few years?"S

Vanessa didn't feel ashamed at all, and bit her ruby-red lip as she replied, "Who told you to hide from me and not meet me? I had no choice but to wait for you here.""I'm hiding from you. Don't you know what that means?"She was so innocent back then, and truly shook her head.Julian had already m

Vanessa could vaguely guess who was on the other end of the phone.Her return was undoubtedly met with Julian's disgust and abhorrence, hence his need to confirm her condition with Adrian in the dead of night.He was overthinking things.Someone who had rolled in the mud, been utterly shattered, ho

Tending Towards Fear.Vanessa gripped her umbrella, her voice trembling, "...I won't. The past was my fault. I caused you trouble, I'm sorry."Standing in the wind and rain under the umbrella, her thin, malnourished body was hidden in oversized clothes. The wind blew through, and her pant legs were

The scenery along the way was both strange and familiar. Icy rain, like beans, fell from the sky, blurring the car window. Vanessa Brooks looked out, both apprehensive and curious.So much had changed, including her.Three years had passed. The face reflected in the car window was no longer full an
