Chapter 251

Author: Lightmoon
Marisol nodded, trying to reassure herself that even if Lucian caused trouble, it wouldn't lead to anything serious.

Even though she still felt slightly uncomfortable, she doubted Lucian would actually come over. After all, he had brought Nevaeh with him, and surely he wouldn't want to upset his lover by confronting her in front of everyone.

With that thought, she felt more at ease. She would bid on the ruby diamond earrings she wanted, complete the payment, and leave immediately.

...

As she waited for the auction to begin, Marisol skimmed the detailed auction list laid out on the table one more time. The earrings she wanted were listed in the latter half of the event. They were clearly positioned as one of the final highlights.

Soon, the auction commenced. The auctioneer, Jamie Brooks, who was on stage, provided detailed introductions for each item, and the atmosphere in the room grew heated with frequent gavel strikes.

Marisol remained an observer throughout.

  • Turning Heads After Divorce   Chapter 277

    Under the deep night sky, a lone service station glowed with lights on the side of the empty highway. Several cars were already parked inside, with people moving about, creating a relatively lively atmosphere.Soon, a black SUV pulled up. Zachary jumped out of the car and went into the service station, quickly returning with a thermos filled with hot water and some fast food."Marisol, time to eat and take your medicine.""Thank you."Marisol had given up trying to get him to use a more formal way of addressing her. She'd figured out that this brat was used to doing whatever he wanted—he'd nod and agree but forget immediately, continuing to call her by "cousin-in-law" or her first name as if they were close friends.She was too tired to keep repeating herself. Whatever. A little familiarity wouldn't kill her.The atmosphere in the car was quiet. During their meal, Marisol noticed Zachary kept glancing at her from the corner of his eye. After several times, she finally couldn't st

    This was Marisol's first time liking someone, and she had no experience with pursuing anyone—she could only learn from what she found online. She did everything she could to pay attention to Lucian's preferences and be good to him.But because of those past rumors about him being uninterested in women, she was afraid he might be put off. So, she tried to approach him gradually and subtly, hoping he would get to know her better. She thought, with patience and persistence, there might be a chance.This pursuit continued into spring, after another game had ended.After handling the various cleanup tasks around the court, Marisol noticed a black bag left on a chair in the corner. It looked like Lucian's.Had he forgotten his things?She hesitated for a moment and looked around, but she didn't see him anywhere. So she grabbed the bag and hurried after him, wanting to return his belongings. It would be a good excuse to interact with him more.But just as she chased him out of the gymna

    The sun was setting as the black SUV crested a hill. The highway stretched ahead, increasingly desolate with hardly any other vehicles in sight. Green wheat fields lined both sides of the road, vibrant with life.Marisol stirred awake, her eyes unfocused as she struggled to shake off her dream. Ever since leaving Everton, she couldn't stop drifting back to memories of the past.The memories she'd tried so hard to bury had been stirred up by those documents, replaying endlessly in her mind. It felt like they were trying to tell her something or maybe forcing her to confront what she'd been avoiding.Perhaps it was time to settle the score with her past once and for all, make a clean break, and finally start fresh."You're awake?"Seeing her wake up without saying anything, Zachary—who was driving and couldn't stand silence—had been holding back his chatter for half the trip. Now, he opened the floodgates and wouldn't stop talking."Marisol, you still haven't told me if you're Drea

    Zachary had picked up the road atlas earlier. She studied the route he'd marked in red pen, and from Everton to New Andar, it was broken into two major segments with three stops total.First, from Everton to Cozam, then Highway 317 from Cozam straight to New Andar. It was nearly 3,000 miles altogether. She did some quick math, and it would take seven days if they really pushed it.Setting down the road atlas, Marisol turned to watch the spring scenery flying past the window. Her heart suddenly felt hollow.How long had it been since she'd come out to enjoy the scenery like this, with the simple intention of sightseeing and relaxing?She couldn't remember. Too many things had consumed her life, leaving her overwhelmed.Lost in these thoughts, drowsiness crept over her. She'd just recovered from her fever, had taken medicine after lunch, and was both mentally and physically exhausted. Her eyelids grew heavy, and before long, she'd drifted off to sleep.Zachary, who was driving, gla

    "Maros? You want to drive all the way to the mountain region?" Zachary was stunned.He'd figured that anyone bold enough to get tangled up with his cousin and actually make that arrogant, ruthless man suffer must be quite something. But he hadn't expected Marisol to be this fearless."Marisol," he drawled, "that's nearly 3,000 miles. Are you sure?"Marisol nodded. "If you can't make the trip, just lend me the car..."Before she could finish, Zachary raised his hand to stop her and jumped to his feet. His face lit up with excitement. "No, no, no! I'm going! I'll drive!"At 19 years old, he was at the perfect age for this kind of adventure.Marisol's proposal hit exactly the right note for a teenager deep in his rebellious phase, someone who was always looking for a chance to play the hero. Just thinking about driving nearly 3,000 miles across the country had Zachary buzzing with excitement. He was ready to leave right now.But then..."Your fever just broke, and you're still wea

    Marisol still didn't fully grasp her current situation. She only remembered running into the rain, and everything after that was a blur. Now, staring at the unfamiliar room and the different clothes she was wearing, she was naturally confused.As she puzzled over this, the door suddenly burst open. A little girl who looked to be about seven years old ran in. The two stared at each other in silence.The little girl shouted at the top of her lungs, "Mommy, Mommy! The pretty lady is awake!"After yelling, she didn't leave but ran closer, tilting her little face up to stare at Marisol. Her dark, round eyes were absolutely adorable.Seeing the child, Marisol couldn't help but smile slightly. "Little one, where am I?""At my house!"The little girl tilted her head. "I'm Sasha. A young man brought you here. You're so pretty, ma'am.""Thank you..."Marisol was about to ask who the young man was when Zachary walked in. He greeted her cheerfully, "Hey, you're awake!"Marisol instinctive
