My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 230: Quiet Visit
“Take those to the car,” Chloe instructed the maid as she finished loading the last box.*I just need to leave without him knowing. I don’t want to get on his bad side,* she thought, remembering Eric’s explosive temper over the past couple of weeks. Living with him had been hell.His mood swung between hot and cold — hot meaning pure anger and snapping at everyone, cold meaning complete emotional detachment where he treated people like they were invisible.No one was safe from his temper, not even Finn.She had been doing her best to avoid him at all costs.“Where are you headed?” Eric’s voice suddenly called out from behind her.Chloe felt the blood drain from her face.“I’m talking to you, aren’t I?” he repeated when she failed to answer within the three seconds he expected.*I don’t know which mood he’s in this time. His tone sounds cold, but the words feel hot,* she thought bitterly.She turned to face him. His expression was impassive, but his eyes showed he was on the edge of sn
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 229: Growing Rift
The sound of the television was the only thing that filled the quiet apartment.Autumn lay on the sofa, wrapped in a thick woolly blanket, her attention fixed on the screen. Her breathing was the only real sign that life still existed in her body. She hadn’t moved in hours.The sound of the front door opening and closing finally pulled her gaze away from the television.Ezra stood at the entrance, a bag of groceries in one hand. Snow still clung to his coat as he carefully shrugged it off.“You’re still lying there?” he asked when he noticed her eyes on him.She turned back to the TV after confirming it was him. “Yes,” was all she said.“Have you even moved since I left?” He carried the bag into the kitchen.She didn’t answer. She didn’t need to. The answer was already obvious.After putting the groceries away, he stepped back into the living room with a bowl in his hands.“Anita told me you haven’t eaten.” He walked over and held the bowl out to her. “I know you’re still shaken up ab
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 228: Blowback
Autumn sat by the window, staring out at the busy street below the hospital. The distant sounds of traffic and people moving about had a strangely hypnotic effect on her mind.She had been brought here two days ago with only minor injuries — scratches and bruises she sustained during her struggle with Sebastian.It had taken hours of pleading and bargaining (with quiet pressure from Ezra that Autumn wasn’t fully aware of) to stop the hospital from reporting the incident to the authorities. On paper, it looked like a domestic dispute that had turned into assault.But Autumn didn’t want the matter to go any further. If she pushed it, Sebastian — a master manipulator — would spin the entire story against her. She could lose the opportunity she had been given. Since she hadn’t lost her life, she refused to lose this as well.That was exactly what she had told Ezra when he called her insane for protecting Sebastian. He had argued that Sebastian could easily claim self-defence. In the end,
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 227: Director’s Threat to Thorne
The sound of distant murmuring echoed off the walls. Patrons were absorbed in their own activities — some typing furiously on their laptops, others talking and laughing with the people sitting close to them.Hidden in a darker corner of the establishment, Eric sat with a cup of coffee in front of him. Steam still rose from it, left completely untouched. His mind remained fixed on the only reason he was here.He opened his phone and checked the text Gabriel had sent him earlier that day — the address of this particular restaurant, along with a picture of Sebastian walking inside with someone who looked like Chloe.He took a deep breath, forcing his rage into silence, and put the phone away.He hadn’t visited Autumn, but from the report he received, she had returned home after the hospital. A bit shaken, but still holding up. If one could even call it that.His eyes swept across the room to where they were seated. Chloe was laughing at something Sebastian said.*Cute,* he thought sarcas
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 226: Midnight Briefing
"—that would conclude today’s meeting.”Eric spoke the words,before exiting the video call, and turned off his computer. His hand found his head, resting on top of it as he rubbed his eyes, trying to fight off the approaching headache.His gaze moved to the digital clock on his desk. It read twenty-five minutes past midnight. The rest of the world should be asleep by now, yet he was still stuck here, finishing last-minute adjustments.He stood up from his desk, arranged the files, then walked toward the couch where his coat had been draped since morning. He pulled it on and moved toward the door. Being the last person left, he switched off the lights as he walked out.“You’re still here?” he asked, taking in the sight of Gabriel still fully engrossed in the work in front of him.“Yes, sir. You hadn’t finished your meeting.”Eric let out a low grunt.“You may leave. Continue the work tomorrow.” He started walking again after dismissing him, his posture slumped and heavy with exhaustion
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 225: Safe Extraction and Breakdown
Autumn safely nuzzled deeper into his chest as he descended the stairs. His grip on her never wavered — instead, it tightened just a fraction, as if to reassure himself that she was truly safe and alright.He reached the lobby and swiftly walked through the doors leading outside the building. His eyes darted around frantically, searching for where he had parked his car in his desperation to get her out.Locating it, he walked over and opened the front passenger door. He gently eased her inside, then moved his hands to her face, cupping it within his palms.Her eyes were unfocused, glossed over and slick with tears as she looked around blankly.“Hey,” he called out softly, afraid she would break if he raised his voice any higher. “Are you okay?” His hands moved over her, checking for any injuries he might have missed.She remained silent, her eyes still glossy and unfocused.“Hey, Autumn,” he called more firmly this time, using her name to pull her attention back. “Are you okay?” he as
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 34
It had been a few days since the incident at the bistro, and a heavy, suffocating silence had settled between Eric and me. We moved around the estate like two planets in a dangerous orbit—close enough to feel the pull of gravity, but terrified of a collision. I had managed to sneak a text to Marco

Autumn stood before the ornate mirror in the foyer, checking her reflection one last time. She adjusted the strap of her bag, her fingers lingering on the leather. She felt like herself again.Chloe, ever the observant shadow, wandered into the foyer with a bowl of sliced fruit, munching slowly. Sh

The car pulled up to the Seta by Antonio Guida, and we were led through the sleek, turquoise-accented halls of the hotel to Seta by Antonio Guida. Eric had reserved a private section, a secluded nook that felt worlds away from the bustling streets of Milan. The lighting was low, the air filled with

"No, no, no!" the man shrieked, his voice hitting a pitch that probably had the neighborhood dogs howling. "Dear God, I am going to die of a heart attack from how unceremoniously ugly your taste is!" He began fanning himself dramatically with a silk-bound lookbook, his face twisted in a mask of the
