Stolen Heart: A Marriage on Paper のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

It didn't sit well on Tyler that she had avoided his touch as if he was carrying deadly virus. With a dark countenance he eyed her. "Go and freshen up, we are going out for dinner." Jade wasn't able to stop her eyebrow cocking up and asked, "What's the occasion?" "Do we need an occasion to dine outside?" Tyler sneered, answering her question with a question. Jade shrugged her shoulders and turned to go upstairs. While she was trudging to their bedroom, Jade tried hard to find the reason why he was taking her out for dinner. It wasn't her birthday and neither he, Tyler had just celebrated his birthday weeks ago. She gave up when she couldn't find a plausible reason. Tyler rubbed the spot between his eyebrows as he watched his wife having no idea what the occasion was. They have been married for a month today and he had come home to take her out for dinner. So, it was just him who remembered their monthsary. His mood was dampened even more as Jade seemed not to be excited see

The car was already moving when Jade finally recovered from her shock.She couldn't believe it. Tyler exposed their relationship. "You shouldn't have told her about us," Jade couldn't suppress her anger as she talked to him. Tyler was surprised to see her angry. No matter what he did to her in the past she never showed her anger. "I did that to protect you," Tyler didn't like that woman casting an accusatory glance and remarks at Jade. Jade gritted her teeth while she fisted her hands. Revealing their marriage just made things worse. She will be seen as someone who ruined a relationship. A woman who stole someone's fiancée. If she only knew that Tyler's girlfriend was a famous ballerina she would have a second thought on marrying him for protection and revenge.She was sure that she could find another way to exact vengeance and be out of danger. She reprimanded herself for being impulsive when she sensed danger. "I don't need it, I just need you to keep quiet at that time," Ja

In a flash, time flew by and it was time to clock out when Jade received a text message from Luke and replied to his message. Soon after she sent her reply, her phone beeped, notifying her of the received text message. [I'll wait for you to come home. Be home at 9pm. Hubby] "Control freak," Jade muttered under her breath. Despite being annoyed at his message, Jade didn't forget to register his name on her phonebook. At exactly 7 in the evening, Jade was already in the restaurant. She was ushered by a receptionist to a private room. Luke was dashing in his three piece charcoal custom tailored suit. Remembering those gentle hazel green eyes gazing at her with such tenderness when she was a young girl, her eyes lit up and warmth flooded her heart. Her Luke hadn't changed. He was still as gentle as he used to be. Luke drew a chair for her and mouthed "Thank you" before taking her seat. During their conversation, Jade secretly wished that he would mention about the orphanage but

Luke remained silent and chose not to make things harder for Jade. "Can we go now, it's getting late and I'm famished," Jade sounded coquettish. She was left with no choice to make the tense atmosphere relax, hence, she resorted speaking to him in such a coquettish manner in hope to pour cold water over Tyler's burning anger. At the restaurant, Tyler had been attentive towards Jade the whole time. He would put food on Jade’s plate, pour water in her glass and sometimes would wipe the corner of Jade’s mouth even if there was nothing to wipe. Jade’s cheeks were suffused with color the entire time Tyler devoted his time attending to her needs. All the time that Tyler was trying to rile up Luke, he kept his cool and didn’t want to misbehave in front of Jade. "I'm fine, Tyler. You haven't touched your food, you should eat now," Jade held Tyler's arm when he was about to put more food on her plate. "If you're so worried about me then, feed me," Tyler responded, making Jade's beautiful

Soon after they entered the bedroom and the door was shut, the room was filled with chaotic sound that would make the listener blush. Thankfully, the room was soundproof so the four corners of the room absorbed all the noises. "Take a rest today and don't go out. I might be coming home tonight," Tyler didn't continue what he was supposed to say leaving the rest unsaid and gave Jade a suggestive grin. "Don't come home," Jade was too tired and couldn't imagine doing it again tonight. Tyler chuckled heartily and went straight to the bathroom. Jade was sound asleep when he was ready to go to work. He sat at the side of the bed and spent a few seconds staring at her beautiful face before he left but not before he planted a kiss on her forehead. Jade groaned. "Go away!" Tyler chuckled. It was already noon when Jade woke up. No one disturbed her sleep as Tyler instructed Gregory that no one was allowed to wake Jade up except for emergencies. Due to the intensity of their love makin
