Come Home With Me のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 271 - チャプター 280

"Hmm?"From behind her came a deep, muffled sound. "What is it?" His deep, husky voice rang out right beside her ear and seemed to crash against her eardrums. It felt like an electric current had jolted through her body, making her feel all tingly. Outside the window, fireworks were going off. They lit up the dark room in flashes of light. Gabriella flipped over, and the first thing she saw was Henry's sexy Adam's apple and his perfect jawline. She paused briefly, then took a deep breath and propped herself up. "How did you get into my blankets?"Henry looked sleepy as he scrunched his eyes up and scratched his head. "Did I?"Gabriella pulled her blanket over. "Didn't you? Open your eyes and look—"Gabriella suddenly stopped mid-sentence. She stared at the blanket in her hand, stunned. This blanket … seemed to be Henry's …She sat up at once and looked around. Finally, she saw her own blanket under the bed … At that moment, Gabriella wanted to die from embarrassment!

Gabriella couldn't help swallowing, and her fingers dug into her sleeve as she looked around her cautiously. There was only one unit on this floor, and right outside her door was the elevator. Beside it was the emergency staircase. There was silence surrounding her, except for the faint noise coming from the elevators moving up and down. However, Gabriella felt like she could hear breathing behind the door to the emergency staircase. The person who had sent the paper must be hiding there, watching her reaction. Gabriella took a deep breath, turned to close the door and locked it. She leaned against the door, feeling the strength leaving her.After a few minutes, Gabriella calmed down. She took a photo of the piece of paper, sent it to the building manager, and requested for him to check the security camera footage. Before she decided to investigate this incident and after Leonard had received the death threat, she had already thought of the consequences. There was nothing to

Jacob hesitated. If he remembered correctly, Frank had been the president of the Chatanese Association when Gabriella was studying overseas. He had helped Gabriella a lot and was one of the men who had been close to her. He might even be the father of the child that Gabriella had once had!Perhaps he was so hostile toward Henry because he knew that Henry was Gabriella's ex-husband!One of the reasons that Henry had returned to Toussaint Holdings was because the Caddel family had poached several core workers at a high price from Toussaint Holdings' new energy project. The project had been stalled. Every day delayed was a huge loss. Henry had singlehandedly propped up this project at the start, and he had invested a large amount. The management was not willing to cut their losses, and neither was Henry. In any case, this Caddel fellow was not to be underestimated. Jacob was about to remind Henry about the relationship between Frank and Gabriella, but then the elevator doors ope

Henry carried Gabriella into the car and put her in the backseat, looking closely at her.Her forehead was red, and there were two bandaids stuck on it. The left side of her face was red and swollen, with a clear handprint visible on it. And her right foot …He lifted Gabriella's right foot and tried to take her boot off. Gabriella tried to pull back, but he held her calf tightly.When the boot was off, it was obvious even through her socks that her ankle was extremely swollen. In summary, she looked completely disheveled.Henry's eyes were intense as he asked, "What happened? How did you get injured? Who hit you?"Gabriella remained silent for a few seconds. "Don't interfere.""Gabriella!"Gabriella turned away from Henry's accusing gaze and closed her eyes. Henry was both resigned and angry. Did she think that he wouldn't know if she didn't say anything?Who could have made her keep it a secret despite being wronged in this way?Henry hadn't had a drop of alcohol at the ga

Sam gently smiled as he came to the faucet next to Colene to wash his hands. "Colene, we meet again. Happy Easter."Colene asked unkindly, "Why are you here?""I'm here for some work. What about you?" He pulled a couple of paper towels from a dispenser on the wall to dry his hands. His posture remained graceful the whole time. "Just hanging out." She grudgingly uttered some words and shook the water off her hands before leaving. Sam grabbed her arm. "Is there a chance for us to have a meal together?""No." Colene shook off his hand and strode out of the restroom. After she returned to the dining table, Gabriella noticed her unusual demeanor and asked, "What's wrong?"Colene snorted coldly, "I just ran into a piece of trash. It ruined my mood."Gabriella immediately understood who she was referring to. "He's staying here too?""Uh-huh." Colene took a few more bites before putting down her fork.She added, "I'm done eating. I'll head back to my room. Are we going
