Charles wiped away the tears on Darlene's face. "Don't worry, honey. I'll handle this.

"What happened with that woman was truly an accident. I'm a victim too. Besides, she's in a coma now and probably doesn't have much time left anyway. I haven't had any contact with her in all these years."

"Are you sure there's really just this one?" Darlene looked at him suspiciously, still not entirely convinced.

"Absolutely!"

Charles raised his right hand and swore with conviction, "I guarantee that she's the only one. I will only ever love you, Darlene. If I'm lying, may I be abandoned by everyone and die a terrible death!"

Darlene reached over to cover his mouth. Tears were glistening in her eyes. "Don't say such things."

"You're not angry anymore?"

Darlene glared at him twice but said nothing more.

Charles smiled and leaned in to kiss her face. With his other hand, he skillfully lifted the hem of her clothes. She pushed him away halfheartedly a couple of times before giving in. She grip

  • Turning Heads After Divorce   Chapter 295

    Marisol thought the nickname 'Sol' sounded so familiar. In a daze, she asked, "What did you call me?" "Sol, you still don't remember me after all this time?" Nick replied with a soft sigh. His gentle features were shadowed by something bittersweet.Hearing that nickname again, Marisol stared at him, stunned. For the first time, she truly studied his face. Gradually, the refined man in front of her began to overlap with a boy she hadn't seen in years.It went back to the summer when she was 12. Her parents were neglectful, and she was often left hungry. At school, her classmates were all raising butterflies from caterpillars. However, good willow leaves were hard to come by. So, she frequently went to an abandoned factory near her house to climb trees and pick willow leaves. Then, she would trade the clean willow leaves with her classmates for a little pocket money or a bite or two of snacks, which helped fill her stomach a bit and satisfy her cravings. There was an old willo

    Snow was falling steadily, and a black SUV was parked on the edge of a winding mountain road.Zachary sat slumped in the passenger seat, breathing shallowly. His head was spinning, and he pushed away the portable oxygen canister Marisol was holding out."J-Just give me a second... I'll adjust."Marisol wrapped her windbreaker tighter around herself and glanced at the altimeter with resignation. "We're at about 13,500 feet now. You've endured this far. Stop pushing yourself."Zachary insisted on toughing it out. Marisol decided not to waste time arguing and simply pressed the oxygen mask to his face, making him take a breath. After just one inhale, he fell silent.Marisol asked calmly, "Still dizzy?""No." Zachary caught his breath, grumbling in frustration. "I don't get it. I'm so healthy, and you're the delicate one, so why aren't you getting altitude sickness while I am?" "Maybe you're too healthy for your own good?"Zachary was left speechless. "Alright, just rest up. My

    The woman's voice instantly turned cold. "It's you? Marisol, right? You seriously have the nerve to call? Lucian's in the shower and doesn't have time for trash like you. Don't ever call again, you fiance-stealing homewrecker!""Wait... I really didn't know he had—" Marisol tried to explain, but the person had already ended the call. She stood frozen on the busy sidewalk at dusk. Her ears were ringing from the shock.A homewrecker? She had never imagined that one day, someone would call her that. The crushing sense of helplessness and ridiculousness instantly overwhelmed her. She couldn't make sense of it, and for a moment, she even lost the courage to confront the truth. Marisol stood dazed on the street for a long time. Eventually, she gathered her strength and called Alinta about Lucian's engagement. Alinta was the only person she knew who was remotely close to that world. Even though the Gardner family was also wealthy, they weren't in the same league as the Muller family

    That night, Lucian received a phone call and left immediately without much explanation. He did not even bother to go back to his room. Later, it was Zayne who drove Marisol back to campus.For many days after that, Lucian didn't come looking for her, nor did she run into him on campus. Even Zayne had disappeared entirely. It was like they both vanished without a trace.At the time, Marisol mostly just felt relieved. She honestly hoped Lucian had something to keep him busy. After all, dealing with him took a lot of energy and willpower.Not having to face him was a blessing.Just like that, the days left in their contract relationship quietly ticked away. During that period, Marisol threw herself into her project work instead.Then, about a week before their contract ended, they made some headway on the project led by Nick. When everyone went out for a casual dinner to celebrate at the restaurant, they happened to bump into a few of Lucian's usual basketball buddies.They were lau

    Nick? What was wrong with Nick?Marisol felt confused. Ever since that incident in the men's locker room, she'd developed a fear and disgust toward Zayne, and now she felt even more bewildered.What kind of nonsense was this now?Nick was the project leader. As a junior, she still needed his professional guidance and oversight. Why on earth would she stay away from him? Did they want her to lose this job too?This was ridiculous."What do you want?" Marisol spoke coldly, with no desire for a lengthy conversation.Seeing her displeasure, Zayne didn't say much more. He handed her a paper bag. "Mr. Muller asked me to give you this. He'll pick you up tonight."After that, he left. Marisol was puzzled and casually opened the bag to look inside. Her face turned bright red.Inside was an almost transparent white gauze dress, adorned with tiny crystals. It was so sheer and delicate that it would barely cover anything when worn.That perverted bastard. Was there anything else in his br

    Still, Marisol captured that landscape in her camera and etched it into her memory. The car continued forward.The canyon was treacherous, its peaks disappearing into clouds. They drove through dense vegetation. Their path was lined with streams cascading down the mountainsides, and the sounds of them harmonized with the calls of birds and insects in the forest. It was nature's own symphony.Zachary glanced at Marisol as she filmed through the window. "Marisol, don't just film the scenery! Record my heroic moments too. When this is over, I'm going to print everything out and cover a whole wall!"This was his first great adventure! When people visited his house, he'd drag them over to show them the photos and tell them all about it. His dad would have to give him props!At first, Marisol ignored his chatter, letting him ramble on. But when he finally quieted down, she immediately turned and snapped several photos of him. The teenager immediately wailed in despair."Marisol, why did
