Chapter 276

Penulis: Lightmoon
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

  • Turning Heads After Divorce   Chapter 280

    Marisol sat beside her, forcing a weak smile. This was her first taste of how easily power could crush someone, leaving no room for dignity or pride.Just as Alinta was ranting about filing a complaint, Marisol received a call from an unknown number. When she answered, Lucian's voice on the other end was as casual as ever."That aid you applied for… Although it may have been approved, it hasn't been distributed yet. Things can still change... "Let's talk, Marisol. Come to this address tomorrow night."He gave her a hotel name and room number. As if certain she would come, he hung up after delivering what sounded more like an order than an invitation.Marisol gripped her phone, expressionless. After a long moment, she suddenly grabbed Alinta, who was still ranting, and asked, "Ali, how does your family compare to Lucian's?""Huh?" Alinta paused, confused about why she was suddenly bringing up Lucian. Instead of answering directly, she held up her hands, gesturing with one high an

    "A deal?" Marisol's mind was already foggy, and she asked without thinking.The alcohol had gone straight to her head as it always did, leaving her cheeks flushed. When she looked up at him with slightly unfocused, glistening eyes, there was an innocent confusion that made Lucian's gaze darken.His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice grew even huskier as he spoke slowly. "Yes. I've been thinking—if you need a stable relationship to feel secure, I can give you that. But it won't be as boyfriend and girlfriend."Marisol stared blankly, not understanding what he meant.Then he said in a casual, indifferent tone, "I know you need money. I can support you."What about 200 thousand dollars a month? You'll come to me whenever I call, but it stays private. When it's over, I'll give you additional compensation."You won't lose out. That should work, right?"Having said that, as if certain she would agree, he lost all patience. He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers almost hungrily.

    If Marisol could forget the pain her family had inflicted on her since childhood, she could forget her feelings for one person. She had always been capable of being ruthless with herself.After that night, Marisol decided to quit her job as a court assistant. When she went to submit her resignation to the court manager, Lucian happened to be there, chatting with the manager about something. He saw her arrive but showed no reaction; he didn't even look her way.Fortunately, having just cut those feelings out of her heart, Marisol felt completely numb inside.She handed over her resignation letter. The manager seemed somewhat surprised. His gaze unconsciously fell on the expressionless Lucian beside him before quickly shifting back to her. After some back-and-forth, Marisol cited her studies as the reason, and the matter was settled.From then on, she never went to the basketball court again and never asked about Lucian, forcing herself to shut him out of her world completely.The t

    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

    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
