Opening My Eyes to Reality Chapter 698
Victor's fingertips still carried the coolness from the keyboard. When they brushed against the back of Bethany's warm hand, he couldn't help but gently stroke it a few times.When he noticed how drowsy she was, even the corner of her book creased between her tired fingers, his voice instinctively softened as he reached out and tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear."What kind of secret was important enough to keep you awake? You can barely keep your eyes open."At those words, Bethany straightened a little. Her hands gently fell on her lower abdomen as if she were holding a precious treasure.The warm glow from the bedside lamp illuminated the flush on her cheeks. Even the tears from her earlier yawning made her look adorably soft. Her voice was soft and light, brimming with barely contained joy as she said, "Victor, I think there's another baby in my tummy. Laura's going to be a big sister."At that, Victor froze. His hand, which had been resting on her shoulder, ho

When Natalie got home, Rowley, Wanda, and Susan were already asleep. She returned to her room and took a hot shower before slipping into bed.She'd finish the last of her work tomorrow. After that, she wanted to catch the late flight to Velmont. Something in her gut told her that she should be near Rowan right now.With that thought, she called Victor.He picked up with a slightly hoarse voice, as if he'd just woken up. In the background, she could finally hear the faint clatter of keyboard taps, which suggested that he might have been wrapping up unfinished work from during the day."What's up, Natalie?"She shifted her pillow into a more comfortable position. "Nothing. I just need you to compress tomorrow's schedule as much as possible. I'm thinking of taking the last flight to Velmont, so help me book a seat."There was a two-second pause before the scratch of a pen on paper came from the other end of the line. "The last flight departs at 10:15 pm. After checking right now… I

Xavier's hand clenched around the steering wheel as his knuckles paled from the force. Outside the window, shadows of trees blurred in streaks into the darkness as if they, too, were trying to outrun the suffocating tension in the car.He let out a scornful laugh as the venom in his eyes brimmed. "Now that you're trapped in my car and stuck in the middle of nowhere, who exactly do you think is coming to save you?"Just as the words left his lips, Natalie suddenly leaned forward. "Tell me… Why do you think Jason never laid a finger on me all these years? Was it because he couldn't bear to or because he never got the chance?"Xavier's movements faltered. A flicker of panic crossed his eyes.As a madman, Jason's obsession with Natalie was practically feral, but why hadn't he made his move over so many years?A dangerous flicker of realization struck him, only to be buried under his aggression. "Cut the crap! Just because he's useless doesn't mean I am."He stomped harder on the gas

The moment the words left Natalie's mouth, the atmosphere instantly shifted.Benjamin didn't speak. It took him a while before he finally stubbed out the cigarette and said, "I want to marry her."Bella sprayed the bite of watermelon she'd just eaten. "What? I must've misheard. Are you talking about marrying Cheryl?"Oh, my lord. You didn't propose to her in 11 years, and now you're suddenly ready to marry. Can you believe it, Natalie?"Natalie didn't answer the question. Instead, she said, "It's not just about what you want because she has to be willing to marry you, too. If a woman truly lets go, that means she's utterly disappointed. You have to tear your heart out to win her back, and even that doesn't work for every woman."Benjamin looked at Natalie and was abruptly reminded of what Cheryl had once said.Natalie would never forgive Jason, just like the way Cheryl would never look back. In a way, Natalie and Cheryl were cut from the same cloth—decisive, clear about loving or

Cheryl's hand instinctively wrapped around the cool metal of the balcony railing. The summer night breeze carried a heavy, humid edge and tugged at the loose strands of hair around her face.Her voice was tinged with urgency as she said, "I'm not looking down on Lucille. I just know her better than anyone. She's not built for this job at the law firm."Mr. Zimmerman, for the sake of our acquaintance, could you maybe just—""Fire her?" Benjamin suddenly cut her off. He leaned forward slightly, and the smile in his eyes dimmed. "Cheryl, you might've forgotten that you joined the law firm as a new graduate with no experience."Cheryl's hands tightened around the railing again. His words left her speechless because she did have an ulterior motive.She didn't want Lucille working at the law firm because she didn't want more reasons to cross paths with Benjamin in the future.When she stayed silent, Benjamin let out a soft laugh, though it never reached his eyes. "If you don't want Luc

Seeing Cheryl's sharp brows draw tighter in a frown, Lucille snatched the suitcase back from her and loaded it into the car. Then, with a sway of her hips, she climbed into the car and called out through the window, "Are you getting in or not? I'm starving."Cheryl stood frozen for some time before finally snapping out of her thoughts. She took a deep breath and said, "That job doesn't suit you. If you really want to work, I can arrange a position for you at Attenborough Group."Realization immediately dawned on Lucille. "Attenborough Group? So that's where you ran off to."Well, that's impressive since I didn't think you had it in you, but I'm not interested in switching jobs. This assistant role suits me just fine."As a woman herself, Cheryl easily read the schemes in Lucille's head. "Benjamin isn't someone you can mess with. Drop whatever ideas you have now."Lucille scoffed. "Oh, please. Just because you couldn't get anywhere doesn't mean I'm as dumb as you. And speaking of
