Chapter 234

Penulis: Cloud Drop
Elena summoned her courage and approached him, placing her hand over the document he was reading. She was doing this for little Archer, but the moment she realized what she'd done, her body began trembling reflexively.

She suddenly remembered the man before her was a monster.

She stumbled backward several steps like someone expecting to be struck, her eyes wide with terror.

Victor showed no anger. He methodically continued reading his document, only lifting his gaze to glance at her after finishing the entire file.

"He's my son. He doesn't need those useless emotions."

Useless emotions? Compassion? Love? Mercy? Or more?

Elena stared at the man before her, seeing through his mask to the horror beneath. He wanted to mold little Archer into a second version of himself.

A cold, emotionless psychopath.

Standing before Victor, Elena could feel her heart racing so fast it might burst from her throat. Every breath felt like battling inner terror, her chest so tight she could barely bre

  • Second Marriage to the Billionaire: Ex-Husband Begs Me Not to Go   Chapter 374

    James and Rachel hadn’t been home in a while either, but by the time Archer and Aria arrived, the house was already tidied up.When they stepped inside, Rachel was nearly done cooking.Today, her attitude toward Archer had softened a bit—not exactly warm, but definitely more natural. She even gave him a few polite smiles here and there.After dinner, Rachel started fiddling with the new dishwasher. But she didn’t quite know how to use it yet.Usually, a housekeeper handled the cooking and cleaning—especially when she was working long shifts at the hospital—and this model was a newer one she wasn’t familiar with.It had just been installed, and she still hadn’t figured it out.Seeing this, Archer rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the manual, and headed into the kitchen to figure it out himself.Aria stood by the doorway, watching him crouch in the small kitchen. His tall frame looked a little out of place in the cramped space. He held the manual in one hand, studying it intently.E

    As soon as the traffic light turned green, Aria hurried across the street. She only had time to toss out a quick explanation.“My boyfriend’s picking me up.”She didn’t say “husband” or “significant other”—just “boyfriend.” Mainly because she didn’t want people guessing she’d just gotten divorced.“I saw a Land Rover picking you up the other day,” Mandy said, quickening her pace to keep up. “Everyone at the office said it’s Mr. Duncan’s car. So your boyfriend is—”Before she could finish her question, they had already walked up to the Land Rover.The driver’s side window was down, and Mandy spotted Archer with one arm resting casually on the window frame. Even a simple gesture like that somehow looked refined and elegant.“Mr. Duncan!” Mandy called out immediately.Archer gave her a quick, indifferent glance and gave a faint nod.Aria also nodded at her, flashing a polite but distant smile. “I’m heading off now.”With that, she circled around the front of the car and got into t

    Aria was already sitting in the passenger seat of the Land Rover. The moment Oliver turned around, Archer pulled her away without so much as a polite goodbye.She didn’t insist either. She just quietly followed Archer. To be honest, she didn’t really feel like talking to Oliver anyway.She took out her phone from her pocket, still feeling a little giddy about it. She stared at the cute little sun design on the back, clearly loving it. Then she turned to glance at Archer, smiling with her eyes.Suddenly, a thought popped into her head—back when she and Oliver had just stepped out of the store, they’d run right into Archer. And it looked like he’d just hung up the phone. Like he’d just made a call.It felt a little too coincidental.Looking at his sharp, expressionless profile, she felt a flicker of curiosity.“You didn’t happen to call that tow truck, did you?” she asked.Archer shot her a quick glance. “What? You wanted to invite him to hang out too?”Aria blinked. That sarcast

    Aria beamed as she pulled two phone cases out of the bag like she was showing off a treasure.“I bought two! We have the same phone, right? So I got matching ones. Like a couple set.”She held one up. “Look, this one has a little moon on it,” she said, giving it a gentle shake. Then she handed the other to Archer. “And this one has a sun.”Archer stared quietly at the cases in her hands, giving nothing away.Oliver, standing nearby, looked visibly surprised. When Aria bought them earlier, he assumed she was getting them for herself. The designs were so feminine—guys like them rarely even used phone cases, and if they did, they went for plain black leather covers.If it were him, he definitely wouldn’t use something like that. And he figured Archer wouldn’t either. It just didn’t match his vibe at all.If Archer ever used a case like that around clients or subordinates, they’d never let him live it down.But to Oliver’s shock, Archer didn’t say a word. He glanced at the cases, the

    Right now, all Aria wanted was to get rid of him as quickly as possible, but she couldn’t just say it outright. That would be rude.She quickly took the phone case she had just spotted off the hook and walked over to the cashier. As the machine displayed the price, Aria was already pulling some bills from her wallet when Oliver handed over a card to the cashier.Aria frowned slightly, holding thirty dollars in her hand.“Since I’m here, let me pay for it,” Oliver said.“I don’t feel comfortable with that,” Aria replied immediately. “I’m the one buying it. There’s no reason you should be paying.”“It’s just a small item. No need to be so formal between friends. Besides, I’ve never been one to let a lady pay when I’m around. It just doesn’t sit right with me. Think of it as an apology gift,” he said as he firmly placed the card into the cashier’s hand.Aria frowned again. “If you’re talking about what happened at the club, you already sent flowers. And honestly, I wasn’t that bothe

    Aria was already used to how Archer ended his phone calls, so she didn’t think much of it. She kept walking, though she didn’t stray too far. Since she had time, she browsed every nearby store with care.The shop she had just left happened to be next to a quirky little electronics boutique. The window display caught her eye—rows of cute phone cases and small accessories. She didn’t go in right away, just stood at the glass, scanning the designs. One case in particular jumped out at her.It looked like it was made of simple plastic, but the back was printed with a dreamy night sky. Hanging in the center was a cartoon-style full moon with rounded edges, sweet and childlike. Aria smiled instantly. Something about it felt like it fit her—her name, her style, even her current phone model.Next to it was another from the same collection, but with a sun motif instead. A little cartoon sun beamed cheerfully at her.She suddenly had the idea to buy that one for Archer.Just the image of hi
