Chapter 58 The scent

작가: Ela Osaretin
The faint scent of wine lingered on her breath, mixing with her natural fragrance into something delicate, intoxicating.

Maybe it was the wine on her breath, or maybe something more, but Lucas felt lightheaded, his breathing unsteady. Her skin glowed under the light, and up close, every feature of her face seemed impossibly beautiful.

He couldn't tear his eyes off her.

Thump. Thump.

Amelia couldn't tell whose heartbeat echoed louder, hers or his, but one thing was certain:

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 362 Without blinking

    The idea that Desmond would risk his family's reputation for a divorced woman was almost unthinkable. Most were convinced Xavier’s anger would know no bounds.As tension filled the air, a few guests hastily slipped into the banquet hall, fearing they might offend Desmond because of their hostility toward Amelia and thus be barred from entry.Sophia and Eve fumed, their efforts to turn the crowd against Amelia unraveling before their eyes, thanks to Desmond’s bold intervention. Just a few sentences from Desmond were enough to scatter most of the onlookers, breaking the crowd's mounting dislike for Amelia.“Mr. Miller…" Eve stepped forward as she spoke, but Desmond cut her off coldly.“What? Looking to get thrown out?"Eve paled and quickly sought shelter behind Damian.Damian stepped forward, protective instincts flaring. "What's the meaning of threatening my sister?"Damian fixed his eyes on Desmond and then on Amelia, only to snap his gaze right back to Desmond, sharp and unrelenting.

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 361 Harsh scolding

    Sophia worried Amelia might simply brush off Eve’s provocation, so she quickly stepped in and said, "Amelia, I don't think you got the invitation dishonestly, but, well, others might not be so sure. How about you…"She let the sentence trail off deliberately, the implication sharp as a blade, Amelia needed to prove her innocence.Before Amelia could utter a word, the crowd had already erupted into cutting murmurs.“This woman carries herself with no class at all. There's no way she got that invitation the right way."“I actually thought she was someone from high society. But turns out she's just some temptress who got here by clinging to a sugar daddy."“She doesn't strike me as respectable. First, her adoptive parents cut her off. Then, she became a cast-off ex-wife from a prominent family. She must've done something serious for both families to disown her."“Didn't you hear what that lady just said about her? She has a sugar daddy. Bet she cheated, that's why she ended up divorced."

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 360 Just a caregiver

    Eve blinked, and Sophia leaned closer, lowering her voice even further. "She's just an adopted daughter, booted out of the bankrupt Brown family. And she's divorced. You think she wants that aired in public? Of course not. So, keep it to ourselves."At that, Eve’s eyes glinted with malicious glee. An idea had taken root. She brushed Sophia’s hand off and sashayed toward Amelia, her lips curled into a syrupy smile. "Oh my! Isn't this my brother's ex-wife?" she called out deliberately, her voice carrying across the room.Heads turned. More guests paused, curious. People loved drama, especially when it was someone else's. Those who didn't care simply strolled away, not wanting to waste their time.“Amelia, you look absolutely radiant tonight! I didn't expect that even after the Brown family went bankrupt in Meloria, you'd still have enough cash for such a glow-up." Then, as if struck by sudden realization, Eve brought a hand to her mouth and gasped theatrically. "Oh! That's right. You wer

    Time zipped by, and before they knew it, the day of Margot's birthday banquet arrived.Everyone attending was someone worth knowing.As soon as Eve stepped out of the car, she raised her chin high, like she was royalty making her grand entrance.She swept her gaze over the male attendees, mostly the young, eligible bachelors of Critport, a smile playing on her lips that deepened with every glance. If she could snag a decent husband tonight, the whole trip would be worth it.Hooking her arm through Sophia’s, Eve pulled out her phone. "Sophia, let's snap some pictures and post them online to make Amelia burn with envy. Even if she owns that painting now, it doesn't mean she's good enough to get invited to Margot's birthday banquet."Eve, practically glowing with pride, pulled out her phone and struck a confident pose, snapping a few selfies with Sophia by her side.Eve scrolled through the images with delight, her eyes gleaming as she laughed softly. "Sophia, I've got to say, I'm proud t

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 358 Triple it

    From what Pascal had gathered, Amelia clearly valued Howard, so endearing himself to Howard would surely make Amelia happy. And if Amelia lit up with joy, Lucas would surely beam, and who knew? Another surprise bonus might show up in an instant.With that chain of logic, Pascal concluded he was quite observant and doubled his efforts to win Howard’s goodwill.In the dining room, the group was dining pleasantly.“Howard, do the dishes suit your taste?" Amelia inquired warmly, placing a portion of fish on Howard’s plate.“This is the most amazing food I've ever had. Far better than anything at the Roka Restaurant!" Howard praised, sincerely.“If you're enjoying it, please eat more, Mrs. Wright. Anytime you want to dine here again, just ask Amelia to fetch you," Viola said with a gracious grin.“Oh, that'd be asking too much," Howard responded, slightly flustered.“Not in the slightest," Lucas chimed in smoothly.Viola’s gaze sparkled as she remarked, "Mrs. Wright, you remind me of my gra

    From the other end came a soft chuckle.“Is Pascal there too? He really knows what I like. Just hearing that made me crave your cooking, it's honestly so good."At her light, happy tone, Lucas relaxed. As long as she wasn't upset. "Then I'll cook tonight. I've got a bit of time right now," he said casually.“Really? That's amazing. I get to feast again! You're seriously unreal, handsome and an amazing cook? Guys like you don't exist anymore." She hesitated for a second and then added a little awkwardly, "But will it be too much trouble for you?"“Not at all. I actually like cooking," Lucas replied, a small smile playing on his lips. As long as she liked it, he'd do it forever. Even the most mundane tasks became enjoyable when they were for the one he loved.Watching her eat his food with that bright smile, it was a reward in itself.“Then I'll get the ingredients ready and wait for you to return," Amelia said, excitement in her voice.With a smile full of quiet contentment, Lucas repli

    "You've kept the laptop away! Why should I slap myself then?" Eve snapped, her face twisted into a stormy, defiant mask. "Out of my way!" She glared at Amelia, her eyes blazing with pure, venomous spite.“A deal's a deal. If you're going to back out now, don't blame me for getting a little rough," A

    Eve’s carefully prepared slides flashed open and were swiftly altered, the content changing line by line. Before long, the device powered off once again, swallowing the room in darkness.Across town, Amelia withdrew her hands from her own laptop, a quiet satisfaction gleaming in her eyes as she clos

    A heavy feeling settled in Desmond’s chest. Breathing suddenly felt harder. He furrowed his brows, confused by his own emotions.Amelia wasn't exactly sweet or soft. In fact, she could really pack a punch. Aside from her beauty, she was fierce, nothing like the gentle woman he once imagined.*******

    All eyes locked on the screen, tension rising as everyone waited for the reply.Lorraine broke the silence, her voice slicing through the room. "Xavier, nothing good ever comes from people too scared to show their faces. We should focus on tracking this person down, this is illegal hacking, plain an
