Chapter 413

작가: Chronos
Bianca's voice trembled slightly as she instinctively grabbed onto Adriana's sleeve.

"It's okay. Mars is outside," Adriana said gently.

She patted Bianca's hand reassuringly, then immediately called Mars and explained that they had been stopped at the exit.

A short while later, Mars arrived at the gate.

Two burly men stood in front of him, expressionless.

"You can't go in, Mars."

"I need to see Mr. Estev," Mars said coldly.

"He's asleep."

Mars stepped past them and looked toward Adriana

  • The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband   Chapter 661

    Adriana finished packing and came out of the bedroom to find a scene in the living room that was both funny and exasperating.Francesco was building blocks with Milo, the two of them heads bent together.Chris sat with Maeve on the other side, Maeve handing him blocks one by one.The four of them, each in their own little world, undisturbed by the others, the lines between them drawn perfectly clear.She let out a quiet sigh, keeping her expression neutral, and simply greeted Chris before calling out to Heidi to make a bit more for dinner.Chris spoke up. "No need to cook for me. I already ate. I was just passing by."As he said this, his gaze landed on the rolling suitcase sitting in the corner of the living room. "Heading out of town?"Adriana answered without much thought. "Yeah, business trip to Westin City tomorrow."Chris nodded thoughtfully, then gestured at the pile of toys he'd brought. "Edward asked me to bring these for Milo and Maeve."It took Adriana a moment to p

    Maeve's eyes lit up at the familiar voice. She dropped her stuffed toy and dashed for the entryway on her short little legs to greet Chris.Milo, though, stayed put on the soft rug, both small hands pressed flat on the picture book in front of him, not even lifting his head.Watching from the side, Francesco felt his heart ache a little for the small figure.The boy was barely two, and he could already tell, with unnerving clarity, who genuinely liked him and who didn't.Chris bent down and scooped Maeve into his arms, laughing as he settled onto the sofa.He glanced sideways at Milo on the rug, deliberately softening his voice. "Milo, Uncle Chris bought you a new toy car. Want to come see?"Milo still didn't look up, just shook his little head, his tone carrying an unmistakable edge of refusal. "I don't want it. Daddy already got me an airplane."Something flickered across Chris's face, but he held his temper in check and asked, gently, "Then what does Milo like? Tell Uncle Chr

    "It's not every day you get to go somewhere new. You should stay a few extra days and enjoy yourselves. I've got things covered here," Francesco said.That was exactly the answer Adriana had been waiting for. The corner of her mouth curved up, and she agreed at once. "Sure. Riley told me about a few popular spots out there. I've been wanting to check them out."She used to think of herself as still fairly young, but after spending so much time around Riley Olson, she'd realized just how wide the generational gap between them had become.Half the things Riley talked about, Adriana had never even heard of.Every now and then, stepping briefly out of the dual grind of work and family, she found herself wanting to try some of those new, unfamiliar things.Not that she was particularly drawn to them. She just wanted the experience.Life, in the end, was nothing more than a collection of experiences, and she wanted to gather as many interesting ones as she could.Francesco's mouth cur

  • The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband   Chapter 658

    Adriana spent every hour of the week-long New Year's holiday with her kids.The break had barely started, or so it felt, before it was rushing to a close.Eight days into January, she spent the entire day in meetings at headquarters.Two days after that, the company launched a new product: a set of prosthetic legs designed for disabled dogs.The price tag was steep, but with free repairs and free checkups for the dogs bundled in, the first batch sold out the moment it hit the market.High-tech products designed specifically for pets were rare enough as it was, and this one alone landed Adriana several innovation awards in a row.As her career kept climbing, Milo and Maeve kept growing right along with it, seemingly bigger every single day.Wanting to give the kids more room to run around, Adriana decided to buy a villa.She took advantage of a Saturday off and spent the whole day out looking, but nothing caught her eye.When she got home that evening, Francesco was sitting on

    Francesco turned into an oversized toy, letting the kids clamber all over him however they liked.Adriana, glad for the break, leaned back on her own and sent New Year's greetings to her friends.Bella's message popped up first, telling her to come over early tomorrow. They were doing a backyard barbecue.Adriana replied with a simple "sounds good."Her thumb scrolled to Chris's chat thread. Not a single message.She pondered a moment, then sent one first. [Happy New Year. Stay healthy.]Oliver sent his own greeting too, wishing her booming success and plenty of new products in the pipeline, and the two of them chatted a bit longer.Oliver: [Spending New Year's at the Slater estate again this year? I heard Dean got out. He hasn't given you trouble, has he?]Adriana: [Haven't seen him yet. Didn't go to the estate this year, actually. The kids and I are ringing in the new year at Francesco's place.]Oliver only replied with "good to hear" and didn't say anything after that.Fra

    Adriana lowered her voice in warning. "Francesco, the kids are right outside."But Francesco's arm around her waist didn't loosen. If anything, it tightened, like he wanted to fold her whole body into his.He bowed his head slightly, chin pressing into her shoulder, his hot breath ghosting over the side of her neck."It's fine. They're watching cartoons."His voice had gone low and rough, catching on a faint, unsteady breath.Adriana felt the heat climbing up her spine and closed her eyes, trying to steady her voice, but the moment she spoke, even that came out trembling. "We can't do this."Francesco didn't budge, didn't ease his grip by even a fraction.He pressed his mouth close to her ear, his tone bordering on pleading. "I miss you. Just let me hold you a while, okay?"The new stubble on his jaw scraped against her soft skin, an itch that stung. His voice was like a current of electricity, shooting straight through her eardrum and numbing her all the way down to her heart.

    Francesco's hand froze as he raised the wine glass to his lips, long fingers brushing idly along the rim. He extended the glass toward Adriana in a mock salute before tipping it back and draining it in one smooth motion."Today, we truly meet, Mrs. Slater."The words were deliberately emphasized—e

    Adriana hesitated, then stole a quick glance at Francesco. His expression remained cold and detached, revealing no trace of emotion."Could we use cooperation as leverage… to make them leave Chris alone?" she asked softly.Francesco tilted his head, not even bothering to hide the faintest smirk of

    Adriana stepped forward with calm composure. "Dean, gentlemen, this really isn't such a big deal. I'm sorry you had to make the trip."Dean got straight to the point. "Where's Chris?""He's in his ward. The doctor has instructed that no one disturb him for now, and he doesn't wish to see anyone."

    Alex skimmed through the two articles in the newspaper, then crumpled it into a ball and tossed it into the trash.If Chris saw the second article, he would only get angry all over again."And this Francesco… his remarks are completely inappropriate.""Achoo!"Francesco, lounging against the edg
