Emily walked toward Vivienne with a gentle smile. She and Denovon had first gone to the hospital for a check-up earlier that morning and had stopped by the mall afterward to get a few things.

Denovon had mentioned that tomorrow was Leo’s father’s birthday and that they would be going to his place to celebrate. Of course, they couldn’t show up empty-handed.

Emily hadn’t expected to see Vivienne here. She still felt grateful to her for speaking kindly to her that day at the office. It had been the same day Evelyn was brought up to see her. Evelyn had apologized in tears, and that was when Emily finally learned —the level of bullying and assault Evelyn had endured in school just for being an illegitimate child.

Evelyn’s body had been covered with scars—faint blade marks and lighter burns that still hadn’t faded. Emily had been heartbroken. She never imagined Evelyn had suffered so much and in silence, never mentioning it to anyone, not even her own mother.

“Good to see you again,” Emily

  • The Beautiful Wife Of Mr Rowland    Chapter 229:

    Vivienne parked her car neatly in the mall's parking lot and exhaled, checking her purse before stepping out.She had spent half the morning thinking about what to get for Leo’s father, whose birthday was tomorrow, and she still didn’t know what to buy since he seemed to have almost everything.Adjusting the strap of her handbag, she started walking toward the mall entrance when a familiar voice, sharp and dripping with disdain, cut through the air.“Well, if it isn’t the so-called famous fiancée,” Serena Turner said, standing just a few steps ahead with a younger woman whom Vivienne recognized as her sister. Both were dressed elegantly, their expensive heels clicking against the pavement as they approached.Vivienne sighed deeply. She really didn’t want to see or talk to them. If she had known they would be here, she would have gone to another mall instead.These past few weeks, Serena had not allowed her to rest. She still hadn’t accepted the fact that Leo and Vivienne were together

    The food arrived not long after, and before Reuben could say a word or stand up to get it from the delivery man, Claire had already rushed to the door to collect it.She placed the bags on the table, humming happily as she unpacked them one by one.“Finally,” she said with a sigh of relief. “I thought I was going to die of hunger tonight.”Reuben leaned back on the couch, watching her quietly. The way her face lit up over food was something he couldn’t explain.Claire opened one of the containers, took a bite, and let out a soft moan.“Oh, this is so good,” she said with her mouth full. “You should try this one too, Reuben.”Reuben’s heart skipped and pounded at the sound of her soft moan, and he quickly looked away. He didn’t understand what was happening to him. How could her innocent sound make his body react like that?“It’s really good. You should try it,” Claire said again as she ate.Reuben didn’t answer. He simply stood up and walked over to the table. Pulling out a chair, he

    Reuben pushed the door of his apartment open and stepped in quietly. The silence inside felt heavy like his heart. He shut the door behind him and stood there for a moment, staring blankly at the floor.Emily's voice still echoed in his head.“You can’t just leave like that, Brother Reuben… We have barely known each other yet. We are family.”Her trembling voice replayed over and over, stabbing at his heart each time. He rubbed his face roughly, sighing deeply.“Damn it,” he muttered under his breath.He wanted to leave. He needed to leave. Staying here would only make things harder for him. He didn’t want to face the Rowland family again. He wanted to go back to his men, to the life that made sense ...simple, cold, and distant. But no matter how much he tried to convince himself now, Emily’s pleading eyes wouldn’t leave his mind. The way she had looked at him, it felt like someone had reached inside and twisted something in his chest.Reuben walked into the living room and dropped on

    Reuben stood in the hallway for a while after leaving the apartment. He ran a hand through his hair and exhaled deeply before heading toward the elevator.He didn’t understand why he felt the need to make sure she was safe. He had already done more than he planned to, but somehow, leaving her in that old building didn’t sit right with him.“Stubborn woman,” he said with a faint smile, remembering their conversation and argument throughout the drive to Willow Town—how she had challenged him and talked back to him without fear.He got into his car and drove out of the apartment, heading straight to the Rowland family mansion. He wasn’t sure if Emily and Denovon had returned to their villa yet, but his instinct told him they were still at the mansion.At the Rowland Family MansionDenovon was sitting in the garden, enjoying the fresh air while going through the project document Emily had brought home yesterday. He couldn’t read it the night before because he had come home late and drunk.

    It was evening when Reuben and Claire reached the city. The hum of traffic grew louder, headlights flashing against the car windows as they entered the busier streets.Claire leaned her head against the window, watching the buildings roll past one after another. After spending a few hours in Willow Town, the city suddenly felt too harsh. It reminded her that she was back and without a job since she lost hers.She sighed softly, closed her eyes, and swallowed the lump in her throat.Reuben drove in silence, but every now and then, his eyes flicked toward her, just to check. She looked pale, tired, and deep in thought.“Where do you live?” Reuben asked quietly, giving her a brief glance.Claire turned her head and told him her address.Reuben nodded and drove for a while until he slowed down and turned into a quieter street. Older buildings lined the road ... paint peeling, balconies crowded with hanging laundry and flower pots.“You live here?” Reuben asked with a frown when he stopped
