Second Marriage to the Billionaire: Ex-Husband Begs Me Not to Go Chapter 398
Archer’s black eyes were as cold as ice as he sidestepped, deliberately avoiding Mandy. His gaze swept across the small office in a sharp, searching glance. It didn’t take long to scan the space—no sign of Aria, but he did see Christina.Christina was still frozen in shock, staring at him as if her brain had short-circuited. Archer’s cool, low voice cut through the room. “Where’s Aria?”“Mr. Duncan, wait a second. I’ll call her back,” Christina stammered, grabbing her phone from the desk. Her fingers trembled as she scrolled for Aria’s number.What was he doing here all of a sudden? He usually just waited in the car across the street for Aria. Why the sudden decision to come upstairs in person?“Mr. Duncan, please have a seat,” Mandy offered quickly, dragging over her own chair since the office didn’t have a proper guest seat.Archer didn’t even glance at it. He walked past her without a word, leaving Mandy standing there awkwardly with an empty chair between them.He stopped by

“Where do you even get so many of Rothko paintings? I’ve been hunting for them forever and can barely find a few, yet you seem to have an endless supply!” William complained.Archer’s voice was calm, almost indifferent. “Most of the ones not in private collections or exhibitions are with me.”William: “...?”He didn’t even know Archer had this kind of interest. Wasn’t this a little absurd?“What do you collect them for?”Archer clicked his tongue softly. “To deal with you.”William: “...?”What kind of answer was that? Was he sick in the head?Still, Archer’s approach clearly worked.William wasn’t short of money, and with the Luther family backing him, the only way to make him yield was to dangle something he truly wanted—and Archer knew exactly how to bait him.Hearing the whole exchange, Aria’s lips twitched despite herself.So that was why William had suddenly agreed to join the trip when he’d initially refused. This wasn’t persuasion. It was pure leverage.Aria shook her

Archer’s heart pounded as he pressed a trail of light, lingering kisses along her cheek, unable to stop himself—as if he needed to kiss her endlessly just to reassure himself she was truly his.Looking at her—so delicate and breathtaking—an unshakable fear welled up inside him, a fear that one day she might really leave.He tightened his arms around her with sudden urgency. Startled by the shift in his mood, Aria felt his grip nearly crush her bones. She raised her hands and gently rubbed his back. “What’s wrong?”Archer drew a slow breath, inhaling the faint scent of her hair as if it could steady him. He turned slightly, then pressed a firm kiss to her cheek, his lips warm and insistent. Breathing in her soft skin, he finally straightened up.He buckled his seatbelt and started the car again, but he didn’t release her hand. Instead, he brought it to his lips now and then, planting quiet kisses as he drove.He glanced over at her. Her hair was still a little tousled from his hand

After Aria’s words, Archer didn’t say anything more, so she slowly let the matter go.But a moment later, he spoke again, his tone deceptively casual. “Melvin overheard what Mark said in the backyard. He told me everything.”When the light turned red, Archer stopped the car and turned to look at her fully. His deep black eyes seemed to say: I was waiting for you to tell me yourself.“I didn’t bring it up because I don’t believe a single word Mark said,” Aria answered, meeting his gaze without flinching. “I was afraid you’d think I doubted you. I know you might do anything, but you’d never do anything to hurt me.“He might be able to repeat details from the day you came to my house, but that doesn’t mean his accusations are true. Sometimes lies sprinkled with a few facts sound just as convincing.”When the light turned green, Archer’s focus returned to driving, but after a few seconds, he abruptly pulled over to the side of the road.Aria was about to ask why when his long fingers

After Archer finished speaking, he stood up and walked out with Aria, ignoring the curses still echoing from Robert behind them. He didn’t look back once.When they were far enough away, Aria couldn’t hold back. “Aren’t you worried you’ll make your dad so mad he ends up in the hospital?”“There’s a live-in doctor at the estate. He won’t die.”“...”That was cold—completely void of father-son sentiment. Archer didn’t seem the least bit concerned.Once they were in the car, Aria asked softly, “Did you really mean all that? You sounded like you were standing up for Fifi.”Archer replied, “I don’t have much of a sibling bond with Fifi, but she’s still my cousin. We can give her a hard time if we want, but outsiders? They don’t get to.”He glanced at her and added, “Besides, can’t you tell? I don’t want her marriage to Mark to last. I have my reasons.”Aria’s heart gave a quick jolt. Why wouldn’t he want them to last?The thought crept in—maybe Archer just didn’t want Mark hanging

Yvette was still upset by the things Lilian had said, but since Marianne had already spoken, she had no choice but to agree. After all, she and Calvin often relied on the Duncan family.Archer let out a short, mocking laugh.“What’s that supposed to mean?” Robert snapped, his face darkening.Archer’s tone was calm, but there was an edge to his words. “Why is everyone acting like Fifi has to be the one to tolerate everything? Did our families spoil her all these years just to have her marry into the Simmons family and get treated like this?”Yvette blinked in surprise. She hadn’t expected Archer to take this stance.Robert barked, “She’s married now! That’s the Simmons household, not ours, and certainly not the Chancer family’s. Marriage is about two families, Archer. You’re old enough to know better than to say something so childish and ridiculous!”“Two families?” Archer’s long fingers tapped the table, his voice cold and even. “You all know why Mark married Fifi. Don’t talk to
