Miley's POV.

I wandered alone through the vast corridors of a bustling mall in Quezon City. It was my day off, and for once, I had decided to indulge myself—to shop for new clothes I could wear to work. Only then did I realize how monotonous and worn my wardrobe had become.

I stopped by a row of skirts, running my fingers along the fabrics. And just like that, an image of Chanda surfaced in my mind. She had worn a black sleeveless dress, yet what lingered with me was not the dress itself, but the aura she carried—poised, refined, untouchable. Almost instinctively, my hand went to my chest. I wasn’t lacking in curves, but compared to Chanda… I faltered.

A sigh escaped me as I moved on, letting my hand glide across another rack. Dresses this time. That was when my eyes caught sight of a black sleeveless dress—eerily similar to the one Clifford’s ex-wife had once worn. My hand reached for it, almost possessive, but before I could claim it, another hand took it first.

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 83. Home Theater

    Miley’s POVThe days passed quickly and peacefully with no problems between Clifford and me. He had been nothing but sweet and caring, and I felt as though I was finally recovering from all the stress—simply because he was right by my side.Ever since we came back from the hospital, I hadn’t seen Chanda return. I wasn’t sure if Clifford had dismissed her or if she had chosen to leave on her own. Maybe she was just giving me space to recover fully. Who knows?But just as the days slipped by smoothly, new problems seemed to arrive just as swiftly. On Sunday morning, I woke up to find Clifford missing from my side. According to Nora, he’d been locked up in his study since early and hadn’t come out yet.I waited patiently for him at the dining table with the breakfast I had prepared. The food grew cold, but still, he didn’t appear. I wanted to bring him a plate but something held me back.“Nora, put the food away for now. Clifford must still be busy. I’ll just take a walk in the garden fo

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 82. Tender, Love, and Care

    Miley’s POVThe days that followed felt light and relaxing for me. Clifford was always at home, constantly fussing over me. I felt happier than I had in a long time, as though the old Clifford was gone—replaced by someone more affectionate, more talkative, more attentive, and always close by. He made sure I was comfortable in every way, just like now as we sat by the pool. Out of boredom, I had asked him to swim with me, but he hovered around me like I was a child needing supervision.“Are you sure you’re okay? You’re not feeling cold?” I’d lost count of how many times he had asked me that already.“I’m fine! You’re so persistent,” I laughed as we sat side by side on the loungers, snacking.“I just want to be sure. I can always ask Nora to bring another towel,” he said, his focus on peeling a pear.“How could I possibly feel cold when the sun is blazing overhead?” I replied, tilting my face up to bask in the warmth.“Come here, let me put sunscreen on you. I don’t want your skin burni

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 81. Phantom Pregnancy

    Miley’s POVThe next day, the doctor repeated the tests as promised to confirm if I was truly pregnant. But just like before, the result came back negative. A wave of sadness and disappointment washed over me, but I kept it hidden from Clifford.“I’m sorry to break the news to you, Mr. and Mrs. Alfonso,” the doctor explained gently. “What you’re experiencing may be caused by psychological stress, which can sometimes trick the body into believing it’s pregnant. It’s called pseudocyesis, or phantom pregnancy. We strongly advise you to avoid stress and, if possible, take some time off to relax.”“Thank you, Doc,” Clifford replied with a polite nod, his hand never leaving mine as he kept squeezing it reassuringly.I couldn’t bring myself to look at the doctor until he and the nurse finally left the room. The moment they were gone, Clifford sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at me.“Are you okay?” he asked softly, his hand tightening around mine.I forced a smile. “O-Of course. Why woul

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 80. Like A Dream

    Miley’s POV“I love you, Millicent…”I didn’t know if I was dreaming or if my mind was simply playing tricks on me, but I clearly heard Clifford say those words.“A-Am I in heaven?” I stammered, my voice trembling.Clifford lifted his head to look at me. “W-What?” His brows furrowed in confusion.“W-What you just said…” I stared at him intently, searching his eyes, trying to grasp if what I heard was real.He gave me a gentle smile—different from all the ones he had given me before. This one wasn’t forced, wasn’t a mask. It was raw, sincere. He lifted our intertwined hands and pressed a soft kiss against the back of my palm.“Forgive me for saying the words only now… the words you’ve longed to hear all this time. But after everything that happened tonight, I realized I can’t keep holding myself back. I can’t keep hiding what I truly feel.”Tears welled in my eyes before I could stop them. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.“I was a coward,” he went on, his voice low. “Fear consume

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 79. The Magic Words

    Clifford’s POVEvery step I took seemed to add to the dread weighing on me. The hospital hallway felt endless, each second dragging like a lifetime.On the bed lay an unconscious Miley, being rushed forward by the doctors and nurses. They were asking me questions, but their voices were nothing more than echoes—distant, hollow, slipping past my ears.When we reached the emergency room, a nurse blocked my way.“You can’t go in any further, Sir. Please wait here,” she said before closing the door in my face.I had no choice but to stare at that closed door. Frustration surged inside me, and I dragged a hand down my face. I was late—that’s why this happened to her.Restless, I paced the corridor, punching the wall at one point just to stop myself from falling apart.I hadn’t even finished off the man who took Miley. The moment I saw her condition, panic consumed me. I left the kill to Chanda.But I couldn’t get her last words out of my head—the ones she whispered in the car before losing

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 78. Held Captive

    Miley’s POVI ran and ran, even though I could barely see the road ahead of me. I stumbled more than once, but I forced myself to get back on my feet. My arms burned with pain, but I gritted my teeth and kept going.I didn’t bother screaming anymore; I knew no one would hear me. When I glanced back, I was blinded by the harsh headlights of Oliver’s car trailing me.The moment I turned forward again, my foot caught on something and I fell hard. “Ahh…” I groaned as my body slammed against the cemented ground.I sat up, wincing as I cradled my elbow. The light behind me grew brighter, closer. Fear pressed heavily against my chest. I pushed myself to my feet and started running again, though my pace slowed under the weight of exhaustion, pain, and overwhelming drowsiness.A strange ache gnawed at my stomach, sharp and unrelenting. I clutched it instinctively and came to a stop.“What’s the matter, Miley? Tired already? Just get back in the car,” Oliver called out.I ignored him and forced
