The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 202
Chris tried to stop Adriana. "Adriana, don't say anything more.""Chris, please let me finish." Adriana smiled calmly and continued, "Six years ago, Chris was disabled in an accident. Joan called off the engagement and left the country.""Under Grandma Rosie's witness, I married Chris. Yet, five years into our marriage, Joan returned—with a child. They moved in to live in my home. To avoid any awkwardness, I moved out last year."She simply stated the facts. It wasn't difficult.The guests, recalling the online rumors about Adriana, quickly pieced together the truth.Public opinion immediately shifted, praising Adriana and mocking Joan.Adriana's mind was calm, but Joan felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles. Her plan had been to have Edward call Chris "Daddy" in public, ruin Adriana's birthday party, and force Chris to acknowledge his son—but Adriana had turned the tables instead.Francesco squinted slightly, watching Adriana with keen interest.Oliver's eyes softened

Chris stood beside the towering five-meter-tall cake castle and spoke loudly, "Thank you all for attending my wife's birthday party. It is a tremendous honor for us as a couple."My wife and I have known each other since childhood. Growing up together, our bond has always been deep. After my accident left me disabled, she chose to marry me, giving up her own career to care for my daily life. In my heart, she will always be my little princess, deserving of my utmost care and protection."Turning toward Adriana, he said, "Adriana, please cut the birthday cake."Adriana took the knife but didn't immediately cut."Before we cut the cake, I'd like to say a few things to our old friends who have always cared about us."The moment she spoke, Edward suddenly appeared out of nowhere, rushing to Chris's legs and wrapping his small arms around him.Taking a deep breath, Adriana raised her voice and announced, "Yes, Chris has a son."The hall fell silent for a heartbeat, then erupted into a

In the blink of an eye, the day of the birthday party arrived. Adriana got up early and went to a studio to have her makeup and styling done.A dark green evening gown paired with an emerald necklace—classic, timeless, and impossible to go wrong.Her hair was swept up high, revealing the graceful line of her fair, slender neck, lending her an air of cool elegance and noble poise.By the time she reached the hotel's banquet hall, Chris was already there."Mrs. Slater, you look stunning."He stepped forward to greet her, offering his arm.Adriana smiled and looped her arm through his as they welcomed their guests together.To any onlooker, they appeared deeply in love and perfectly harmonious. And indeed, the guests showered them with praise—some sincere, others merely polite."Mr. and Mrs. Slater, you are truly a match made in heaven—talent and beauty combined.""Mrs. Slater is even more beautiful than a celebrity. Mr. Slater is a lucky man.""Mr. Slater is so refined, and Mrs

The feeling of "finding light at the end of a winding path" filled Adriana with anticipation for what lay ahead—and, more importantly, with confidence.After the meeting, Oliver hurried over, brimming with excitement, and handed the documents to Adriana."Francesco is making a bold move. He's investing two billion into the 001 project. With funding like this, we can really go all out."Adriana pressed her lips together, stifling a smile as she watched Oliver's eyes light up with eagerness.It had been a long time since he'd taken on a project this promising. The workaholic in him—the one that lived for the lab—was already itching to get started."Let's pick the technical team first. I'm taking Brian and Nina with me—you can choose the rest."Brian and Nina were both fresh graduates this year. They were steady in their work, full of ideas, and got along well with her.When they arrived at the lab, Adriana shared the news with them.Brian practically jumped with excitement. "I wa

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

"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

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

Until the end of the next workday, Adriana hadn't received a reply from Chris.She had dinner with Oliver, and on the way home, she saw Joan and her son on a video call in the living room."Chris, I want a toy.""Alright. Tell your mom what New Year's gift you want."Chris's voice was clear, tho
