The car door slammed shut.

Julian finished his cigarette, turned the steering wheel, and drove back. He even bought some medicine for swelling and pain relief, which was probably the first time he'd taken the initiative to treat a woman like this, especially one who didn't appreciate it.

The stairs were narrow and steep, the light was broken, and there were no windows, making it necessary to be careful even during the day.

Julian's footsteps were light, but before he reached the top, a voice dr

  • Mr. Frost’s Reluctant Prisoner Bride   Chapter 275

    No matter what Adrian said, Vanessa remained unwavering, dead-set on severing ties with the Voss family and never contacting them again.Seeing her like this, Julian's emotions were complex. If she could treat the mother who had loved and protected her like that, how could she possibly still harbor any feelings for him?But he was a stubborn man.No feelings.Then he would simply take the person."Vanessa, you're being a little heartless."Julian wiped the blood from his hand, uttering the words as if an afterthought. Vanessa's eyes snapped into focus, staring at him with profound disbelief — the man who had promised to make amends again and again, only to wound her repeatedly. "Am I heartless? Who was it that knew I was innocent, yet still threw me into the eye of the storm?"Julian had brought it up casually, not expecting such a fierce reaction from Vanessa. "You misunderstand. Back then, no one knew you were innocent. Who el

    Julian had been injured, though not as severely as expected.The Voss' first floor was silent, the interwoven breaths of everyone present forming a suffocating net. Vanessa felt breathless as she stepped inside, her eyes immediately drawn to Julian sitting on the sofa, blood still trickling from the back of his hand. Blood also smeared his face, his pupils dark, as if harboring an unvented hatred.Cameron's blood pressure surged with rage, his face a mask of fury. The moment Vanessa entered, he abruptly stood, glaring at her not like a father at his daughter, but like a judge at an unpardonable criminal. "Get this person out of here right now! I haven't called the police this time, all for your sake.""Then you should just call the police. I don't want that consideration," Vanessa retorted. She glanced at the Voss' reception hall, which remained untouched, unlike the living room she'd passed on her way in, now a complete wreck.Cameron, still fuming from Julian's earlier antics, now h

    Vanessa was at the piano store when she received a call from the Voss family. After a moment of hesitation, she picked it up.She walked aside, away from Cameron, and Cameron's voice came through the receiver, "Vanessa, come home immediately and take your husband away.""Julian?" Vanessa didn't understand Cameron's words. "Why is Julian at the Voss family home?""He's here for Ivy. You married him, yet you can't even keep an eye on your own husband. And even now, he's still coming to me for another woman, isn't he?" Cameron found the mere thought absurd, let alone the fact that it was actually happening, Julian right before his eyes, undeniably real.Vanessa still didn't understand, but she caught the note of reprimand in Cameron's voice. She no longer called him 'Dad'; he had no right to lecture her."So what if we're married? Didn't Aunt Evelyn fail to keep an eye on you?" Vanessa was not fragile. Her previous demeanor was a result of being terrified of life, having endured enough b

    As they stepped out of the private room together, Adrian, unable to hold back any longer, shoved Julian hard, deliberately keeping his voice low."What exactly are you trying to do? Are you only satisfied when everyone knows about this?"Julian patted the collar of his shirt, his downcast eyes slowly lifting. "It's not me making things this way. It's you hiding secrets, and of course, I'll stop at nothing to figure them out.""Why should I tell you my business?" Adrian scoffed dismissively, as if looking down on Julian. They had once been united on the matter of Ivy, wronging and humiliating Vanessa because of it.But not anymore.Julian had married Vanessa, and asking about this now was simply wrong of him."Is that your business? That's Ivy's business," Julian declared with righteous indignation, as if he'd forgotten that Vanessa was his wife."You're going to such lengths to find out about Ivy, but have you ever cared about Vanessa's feelings?"Vanessa didn't care, so what could Ju

    With a single sentence, Adrian successfully sowed discord.As they went upstairs, Julian walked behind Vanessa, holding both their coats. The material was soft, so even if crumpled, it wouldn't wrinkle.“Vanessa?”Julian's voice was faint as he called out.Vanessa paused on the stairs and looked back. “What is it?”His wife showed no reaction whatsoever to his nervousness over his ex-girlfriend. This wasn't what Julian wanted. He longed to see Vanessa as she used to be, flustered and jealous over his affairs.But it wasn't like before, not anymore.“I'm just curious, trying to understand what happened. It has nothing to do with Ivy.” Julian knew how hollow his explanation sounded. “Those things are in the past.”“I know they're in the past. Your explanation, however, seems a little forced.”Her words clearly displeased Julian, but he didn't show any sign of embarrassment. He simply offered a nonchalant smile. “Then what if I told you that I genuinely still have feelings for Ivy? After

    Seeing Adrian's knees hit the ground, Vanessa felt no particular satisfaction. Only an overwhelming sense of weariness from the constant entanglement. the Voss family's persistent meddling was truly suffocating.Vanessa's gaze was icy, fixed coldly on the man kneeling before her. When she'd returned to the Voss family all those years ago, all she'd wanted was to survive. Instead, she'd been ridiculed and bullied by Adrian, treated like refuse.Now, it was his turn to kneel."Must I really go?" Vanessa asked, utterly bewildered. "Where were you all those years before? Why didn't you come looking for me then?"Just how much was expected of her before they would finally let her go?Adrian had considered kneeling his absolute bottom line. Yet Vanessa remained so stone-hearted, leaving him truly at a loss. "Vanessa, you clearly know we were all misled. You suffered for three years, yes, but tell me, who among us had an easy time?"This, again, was insufferable.Vanessa couldn't help but le

    Vanessa pursed her lips, remaining silent."Are you listening to me?"Clutching her skirt tightly, Vanessa choked back a breath, cautiously saying, "...Could we try it, for a month?"Bart was pig-headed, not understanding. "What do you mean?""It's just, we spend a month together. If it doesn't wor

    Evelyn’s heart ached, a sharp, stinging pain that made her nose tingle. Bringing Vanessa back this time was something she’d insisted on, but it came with conditions. She couldn’t indulge Vanessa anymore, couldn’t spoil her rotten again. If she offended the wrong people, no one would be able to save

    The umbrella was tilted, barely shielding Vanessa, whose clothes were soaked through again and again. She didn't mind getting wet, but Julian shouldn't be soiled by the dirty water.They walked side by side in the downpour. There was only one umbrella, held by Julian. Vanessa didn't dare get too cl

    The three women surrounded Vanessa, scrutinizing and probing, their gazes a mix of shock. They were all familiar faces, but three years had passed, and they had all changed.Back then, when she was driven away, the Voss family had given her father money, entrusting him to take good care of her.The
