I ate in silence, pushing my food around the plate as he talked. He told me about his day, shared silly stories from work and school, and asked me questions about mine.

I answered, but my words were short and quiet. When we finished, he stood up right away.

"Let me wash the dishes. Go rest," he said firmly.

I smiled to myself. I know he’s not used to doing chores around the house. Usually, I’d jump up to help, tell him to let me handle it. But tonight, with the anger still lingering just below

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 293: Sunset

    That afternoon, Theo invited me to take a walk along the shore so we could watch the sunset together.I immediately agreed. Ever since I had first arrived in Pattaya, watching the sunset had become one of my favorite things to do. No matter how many times I saw it, I never grew tired of it.In fact, it was one of the main reasons I had chosen this beach house in the first place. The sunsets here were breathtaking. Every evening, the sky transformed into a masterpiece of gold, orange, pink, and violet, stretching endlessly above the sea. The sight always left me speechless, as though nature itself was painting something beautiful just for us.Theo and I walked side by side along the shoreline, our feet sinking lightly into the sand as the waves rolled gently onto the beach. Neither of us spoke. The silence between us was comfortable and peaceful. The only sounds were the rhythmic crashing of the waves and the distant cries of seabirds soaring above the water. The

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 292: Contentment

    Life continued moving forward and with every passing day, I found myself falling deeper in love with the simple life we had built. The beach house was peaceful, the ocean was calming, the air felt lighter andost importantly, there was no one around trying to interfere in our relationship. I felt truly free. I was especially grateful that Theo had chosen this life with us.In the beginning, I worried constantly. What if he regretted leaving everything behind? What if he missed his old life? What if one day he woke up and realized he had sacrificed too much?Those fears haunted me during our first few days in Thailand but as time passed, those worries slowly disappeared. Every morning I woke up beside him, every evening I watched him playing with Theodore, every night I saw the peace in his eyes, gradually, I realized something.Theo wasn't forcing himself to be happy. He genuinely was happy. I could see and feel it. The stress and pressure he had carried for year

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 291: Serenity

    After spending nearly two weeks in the country while Theo settled everything he needed to take care of, the day finally came for us to return to Pattaya, Thailand.Surprisingly, the transition felt natural. Almost as though we were finally returning home. One of the first things we did after arriving was check on the beach house where we had stayed before. To my delight, no one had rented it during our absence.The moment I saw the familiar white walls, the wide veranda, and the endless stretch of ocean beyond it, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. It was still ours. Or at least, it felt that way.Without hesitation, we rented it again. The place held so many memories for me. It was where I had learned how to survive on my own. Where I had carried my son and where Theo had finally found us again. Now, instead of being a place filled with loneliness and uncertainty, it had become a home filled with love.The first few weeks were incredibly busy. Espec

    "Don't tell me you're actually going to believe him. You saw us standing here together, didn't you? You'd have to be a complete fool to forgive him or take him back." Her words were deliberately provocative as she folded her arms.And then something inside me snapped. All the patience I had been holding onto, all the restraint and calmness. Everything finally reached its limit. And for the first time since arriving, I was ready to speak."Is that so?" I replied coldly, meeting her glare without flinching. "Then tell me, which one of us is truly delusional? Is it me, or is it the woman desperately forcing herself on a man who clearly wants nothing to do with her?"For a moment, Cleo seemed stunned. Her eyes widened in disbelief, as though she had not expected me to fight back."What did you just say?" she demanded."You heard me." I sad as I let out a humorless laugh.I took a step forward, my grip tightening slightly around Theodore as I hel

    Eventually, our conversation shifted toward the future. Both of them looked disappointed when I told them that Theo, Theodore, and I would not be staying in the Capital for very long."We just got you back," Lily complained through her tears."And now you're leaving again," Irene added with a dramatic sigh.I laughed softly."I'll still be around for another week or two.""That's not enough," Lily said immediately.We all laughed. Still, I could see the sadness in their eyes. The thought of saying goodbye so soon clearly hurt them. Thankfully, they quickly brightened when I suggested they visit us in Thailand whenever their schedules allowed.Both of them immediately agreed. Then an idea suddenly came to me."If Theo and I decide to have Theodore baptized, would you two be willing to become his godmothers?"For a moment, neither of them spoke. Then Lily burst into tears again."Oh my God!" she cried. "Of course I

    Then, he suddenly pulled away and stepped back. The loss of that wonderful contact left me feeling empty, as if something precious had been taken away.I cleared my throat, my voice coming out rougher than I'd intended. I kept my gaze fixed on the water, desperate not to let him see how much his ret

    When we pulled up, I stopped mid-scroll, the place was stunning. The two-story home sat right at the edge of gentle wooded slopes that dipped down to a calm lake, balancing perfect seclusion with the warm charm of waterfront living.The house features two striking pitched-roof sections, one clad in

    I didn't have anything scheduled, but the thought of going to the lake house alone with Theo made me uneasy. Sure, we were on better terms now, we talked, even went jogging together one time but being just the two of us felt different entirely."U-Uh..." I stammered, my mind racing."Yeah, you don'

    It was a Friday night when Theo came home, prompting Uncle Greg to gather the whole family for dinner. He hadn't been back in several weeks, likely tied up with school projects and activities that demanded his attention.The moment I took my seat, I noticed Theo staring at me intently. His eyes seem
