Lahat ng Kabanata ng Post-Divorce Seduction: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Chelsey had cared for Lucas for three whole years without him ever complimenting her. He even thought she'd only done what she was supposed to since she'd taken money from them. Now, though, he was starting to sing her praises.Once again, she couldn't help thinking of him as a changed man. She felt bittersweet as she said, "I'm not a god or anything. I can't make you recover with a few simple massages. It's the doctors' treatments that worked out. I only helped a little.""No, I think your massages were the key." Lucas transformed into the ultimate clingy husband; he refused to let go of her hand.As a creative type, Chelsey's hands were smooth and supple. Her fingers were slender and so delicate that they seemed to have been carved from the finest marble. Yet these hands had cared for him for three years.Lucas' heart twisted painfully as he looked at them. His thumb, the only finger free from the gauze, tenderly grazed against the back of Chelsey's hand. It felt even smoothe

In the past, Chelsey wouldn't even have dared to dream about Lucas cooking for her. He was a bit of a male chauvinist; he didn't think men belonged in the kitchen. In his mind, men should either be suited up in boardrooms or donning military garb and charging on the battlefield.Aprons weren't meant for men. But when Lucas saw how happy Chelsey looked eating Timothy's cooking, he found himself wanting to cook for her. He supposed it wouldn't be too bad for him to put an apron on every now and then.Besides, he was a lot more considerate now. He could fill Chelsey's plate with food, too.Chelsey couldn't help giggling when she saw Lucas getting jealous. "Sure, I'll wait for you to cook for me when you've recovered. Don't let me down, alright?""I won't!" he said, looking serious.Timothy's expression hardened at what a suck-up Lucas was now being when he used to be such a bully toward Chelsey. He said to Chelsey, "You said you wanted to go to Vegviser Mountain with me, right?

Chelsey could tell it was Shannon's voice. She straightened up with a slight frown as she said, "Shannon's here.""Yeah." Lucas didn't want to see Shannon, but she'd already barged into the room.When she saw Lucas lying in bed, swathed in bandages, tears streamed down her face. "Luke, how did you injure yourself so badly? How do you expect me to live if anything were to happen to you?"She threw herself at Lucas as her wails reverberated around the room.Chelsey stood to one side and watched her coldly. After bawling her eyes out for a while, Shannon wiped her tears elegantly and said to Chelsey, "Thanks for taking care of Luke. Now that I'm here, you can go. After all, you two are divorced, and I'm his girlfriend. I'll take over from here."Shannon's appearance suddenly reminded Chelsey that she and Lucas were already divorced.Lucas looked at Shannon and said calmly, "The urine bag should be full by now. You should go empty it."He couldn't get out of bed, so he had to

Josie had just been discharged from the hospital and was recuperating at home. Lucas had hired a caregiver to take care of her. She hadn't been allowed to use her phone lately, so she didn't know anything about Lucas being hospitalized after being seriously injured.Lucas had Chelsey call Josie to tell her he was away on a business trip and would only be back after some time. Chelsey had also told her to take care of herself while he wasn't around.Josie didn't suspect a thing. After all, Lucas had recently delayed much of his work to care for her. Besides, he always disappeared for a week or two when he was busy.It was because of this that she could recuperate in peace. She was seated in the living room when she heard Shannon's voice. Initially, she thought Chelsey had dropped by. When she saw that it was actually Shannon, her expression darkened."What are you doing here? I already told you that I don't want to see you. Get out!" Josie detested Shannon more than anything els

Although Timothy's words sounded harsh, he was speaking out of concern for Chelsey.If she were to forgive Lucas and continue being his caregiver, their divorce would be pointless.Repaying a favor and sacrificing your happiness were two different things.Timothy couldn't understand Chelsey.Chelsey's lips twitched. She was so choked up that she couldn't speak for a moment.On the hospital bed, Lucas responded anxiously, "Chels, you are my wife, not my caregiver. I won't treat you like one again. Don't leave, Chels. Don't leave me."Chelsey looked at Lucas and then at Timothy.In the end, she chose Lucas.She walked to the bedside and held his hand. "I won't leave, don't worry."Looking back at the heartbroken Timothy, Chelsey gave him a small smile.Her smile was sad yet decisive."Tim, thank you for your care and love. As a caregiver or a wife, I will always be by Lucas' side. You can leave now. Thank you."Ten years of love couldn't be given up overnight.No matter what
