บททั้งหมดของ Taming the Mayor's Wrath: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

"Mommy, Daddy, I want those toys!" Luke exclaimed happily in a tone of pleading.Luke, being the only son of the mayor of that town, naturally inherits all of the toys that his father points out to him as being eligible for. They both proceeded ahead of us as we slowly strolled. I was serenely following them, barely behind them. Having them in my life in this way makes me feel more whole as a mother and a wife. I am at a loss for words to adequately express how grateful I am to have them in my life. The paper bags containing his toys are giving his nanny a lot of trouble right now. Even if she didn't express her displeasure verbally, it was clear from the expression on her face that she was unhappy. I really wanted to be able to assist her, but I couldn't because I was afraid of what Lucas might say if he witnessed me providing assistance to her."That's enough, Luke, you've already purchased a considerable number of toys. Son, that can't be played in its entirety all at once."Both o

Wearing a delighted smile, I reached into the handbag that was sitting next to me and pulled out my mobile phone. Glancing at the screen right now multiple times to see if Lucas has sent me a message. That was nothing at all. He may be a little preoccupied in his office at this very moment. When I contemplate what took place one month ago, I can't help but chuckle a little bit and feel quite proud of myself. Because of how Lucas has treated me, I feel that I have matured and grown not only as a woman but also as a responsible mother and wife. This feeling is a direct result of our relationship. And it made me find myself falling deeply in love with him. He also made me feel loved.The campaign trip that was supposed to be taken by Lucas and his uncle Elias did not take place for reasons that are unclear to me; rather, it was rescheduled for some point in the future. As soon as I remembered that, I immediately turned to the driver, who at the time was concentrating on driving. We are c

For an abrupt moment, I was speechless. I was so shocked, and I couldn't tell how I really felt at that moment. Even though my eyes were firmly focused on the table in front where they were seated, I couldn't help but hold back the need to carefully touch my own face to check our common face. I can't possibly be mistaken about what my eyes are telling me right now! It was completely unmistakable, as I am in the right sense. It was Dominic, and he was with a woman who, even in broad daylight, looked almost identical to me.Who am I, really?What did I do wrong to deserve this punishment?Who is the woman I have seen with him?Is this person the true Adeline?How about me?Which of us is true, and which is not?Who among us is telling the truth, and who is not?Am I the one pretending to be her, or is she playing a crazy game with me now?Is she the genuine wife of Lucas and not me, which is why I have no recollection of any of our lives together?But how is it even feasible for somethi

Thinking about my response made me remain silent for a second. Even though Lucas couldn't see me, I vigorously shook my head in response to his statement. Despite the fact that we are only communicating with one another over the mobile phone, I made the effort to respond to his question by doing that."Nothing, Lucas, I just want to—" "Lucas, don't be late, and hurry up as soon as you can! In a matter of minutes, we will be leaving for the airport. If we are unable to reach the destination on time, the airplane will take off without us! Do you hear me?"I was able to hear Lucas uncle Elias voice giving him instructions at that time, which I could hear in the background. My forehead became creased. My entire existence started shaking once more as I heard his voice on the phone as if the sound of his voice resulted in me being traumatized.They are going somewhere, aren't they? Where do they intend to go at this time?"Honey, please excuse my delinquency. Would you mind telling me abo

The eloquent language of Lucas made me grin. The fact that I thought about being able to hold my husband again on that particular day made me realize how much I miss him. It caused a happy flutter in my chest."Lucas, when are you going to be back at home?" I questioned him out of the blue while biting the inside of my lower lip.I couldn't help but conjure up an image of him in my mind."I am not sure when, Adeline, but hopefully we must be done with our purpose here, and next week we will be able to go home.""Lucas, I miss you."Yes, I did attempt to say that to him. I eagerly anticipate hearing his response. When I heard his gentle laugh coming from the other line, it made me realize how much I was missing him. He took a brief pause before he acknowledged that he feels the same way about me. I couldn't stop thinking about the day that he would return to the mansion. I will see to it that we get the most out of this opportunity. Make up for the time that passed while he was away f
