The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 198
Remembering that this was a business setting, Adriana pretended she hadn't heard anything and took her seat as if nothing had happened."The dishes will be served shortly."Oliver wasn't sure whether she had overheard and felt a trace of concern.Francesco remained indifferent, leaning by the window as he fed the fish.Oliver changed the subject and continued discussing the partnership.Adriana quietly sipped her tea, only speaking when the conversation touched on her area of work.After the meal, she used feeling unwell as an excuse and asked Oliver's driver to take Francesco back.Francesco glanced at her, as if wanting to say something. But seeing her head lowered, absorbed in her phone with no intention of acknowledging him, he said nothing and got into the car.Oliver slid into the driver's seat of Adriana's car. "Let's go. I'll take you back to rest.""Take me to the lab. I'm fine."Adriana had only made that excuse to avoid being alone with Francesco.Sensing that she

Although the car was inexpensive, Adriana drove it with a sense of ease.Francesco fell silent for a moment. "This car isn't bad, actually. Not much worse than the Phantom."Adriana let out a soft laugh. "To earn your praise is truly this little junk car's honor."Even a random collar from Odysseus would cost more than her car. The electrical wiring in the Este family estate was said to be made of gold—there was no reasoning with someone at that level of wealth.The restaurant was a private kitchen tucked inside a classical garden. Oliver was already waiting for them in a private room.Through the antique-style windows, they could see a vast pond outside. Green lotus leaves floated across the surface, while plump goldfish swam leisurely among them.A small container of fish feed sat on the windowsill. While Francesco and Oliver talked, Adriana grabbed a handful and scattered it into the water.Ripples spread across the surface as the goldfish rushed forward, scrambling for the f

Today was the regular project meeting with the Paradigm Group. As usual, Adriana arrived early—but when she pushed the door open, she was surprised to find Francesco already seated at the head of the table.He was flipping through documents, his fingers gliding across the pages.They had come too early; the conference room was empty except for the two of them.At the sound of the door, Francesco looked up slightly."I'll be personally overseeing the project's progress from here on. I hope you won't slack off."Adriana smoothed her skirt and took a seat, offering a flawless professional smile. "Rest assured, I never slack off when it comes to work.""Six years in exchange for thirty-one percent of the Slater Group's shares—not a bad deal."Francesco arched a brow, a faintly mocking smile curling at his lips. In his deep-set eyes, her slightly pale face was reflected with unsettling clarity.Adriana held his gaze for a moment. Her lashes cast a faint shadow as her fingernail scra

Bella took a bite, about to continue, but Patrick cut in."Alfred is too small-minded in business. He lacks decisiveness. During economic upswings, he could still muddle through, but now that the market is declining, continuing to work with them brings me no benefit. Adriana, you don't need to take it to heart."Adriana hadn't expected the two of them to be together. She smiled. "Thank you, Patrick. No matter what, you've done me a huge favor.""It's a pity Chris helped the Hill family this time. What do you plan to do next?" Bella asked.Adriana tapped her fingers lightly against the desk, a faint smile curling her lips. "Return the favor—on their own terms."Only after investigating the Hill family did she discover that Joan was not an only child.In the second year after Joan went abroad, her mother, Cassandra, had given birth to a son.The Hill family had likely feared Joan would make a scene, so they kept the boy tightly hidden. Yet, all of the family's fixed assets had bee

During dinner, Joan glanced around the table but didn't see the child anywhere. For some reason, a trace of irritation stirred in her chest."Mrs. Higgins, have your grandson eat with Edward.""Umm…" Mrs. Higgins hesitated, looking troubled. "Miss, Dennis has a cold and a fever. We wouldn't want him to pass it on to the young master.""That's right! We can't let him infect my precious grandson," Cassandra chimed in, lifting Edward into her arms and personally feeding him, her eyes brimming with affection.Seeing how doting her mother was toward Edward, Joan didn't think further on it. Instead, she asked, "Is Dad not coming back for dinner?""He wants to, but the company's in such a mess he's overwhelmed and can't get away."As she spoke, Cassandra cursed silently to herself. Alfred had originally been on his way home, but the moment he heard that his daughter had brought his grandson back, he turned the car around and went straight back to the company.Joan frowned. "Which suppl

Joan was welcomed, not like the owner of the house, but more like a guest."Where's my mom?""Madam didn't know you were coming. Mrs. Higgins was just about to inform her."Joan stopped in her tracks and shot the servant a sharp look."Coming? Am I a guest in this house?"Her voice was icy. The servant paled and hurried to apologize."Miss, I'm sorry—I spoke out of turn.""This is my home. When I return to my own house, I don't need to notify anyone."Taking Edward's hand, Joan walked toward the living room.They had just entered when Cassandra came downstairs."Joan! And this must be Edward!"Cassandra smiled as she approached, scooping Edward into her arms and planting a kiss on his cheek."So adorable. If you hadn't broken off the engagement back then, Edward would have been—"Joan cut her off. "Don't say things like that in front of the child."She handed her bag to a servant and made a slow circuit around the living room, her gaze landing on a photograph of an unfami

Adriana was closer to Chris. Before the German Shepherd could tackle him, she stepped in front of him."Adriana!"Several voices cried out at once as everyone rushed forward.Joan ran straight to Chris. "Chris, are you okay?"Chris pushed her aside and asked urgently, "Adriana, are you hurt?"A

"Mr. Este, are you satisfied with the results of today's little test? Five years ago, she already gave you her answer. And today, five years later, she repeated it. So from now on, please keep your distance from my wife and me."Chris had once worried that Adriana truly intended to leave him. But a

"I've known him since I was eight or nine. It's been over ten years. Even without love, there's some sort of family bond."He took advantage of the fact that no one had my back. If my parents could see me now, in my twenties, living like this… they'd be heartbroken."I admit I'm weak. I'm afraid o
The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 99
Adriana had always worried about Chris, fearing he would hurt himself.But seeing Joan emerge from his room that morning, clarity struck her: the one suffering all along was herself.She was the one left alone. She was the one upholding the boundaries. She was the one repeatedly making compromises
