The Cherished Wife의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1961 - 챕터 1970

Peter's eyes narrowed when he saw Sean. "You got here quickly."Sean let out a chilling laugh, his face fixed with a fake, friendly smile. "When you call, Peter, I wouldn't dream of taking my time."Peter glared at him, and Sean quickly put up his hands. "Okay, okay, no need for that look. You didn't just call me here to stare me down, did you?"Peter scrunched his eyebrows together and then handed Sean a student ID. "Vista University?"Sean raised an eyebrow, but when he saw the student ID, his eyes landed on the innocent face pictured, and he could not help but smirk. "Wow, looks like a young girl has totally played you!""She's not that skilled!" Peter snapped back, his fingers laced together on his lap. His eyes seemed colder than before. "Do you know her?"Sean's mouth twitched at Peter's intense gaze. "Could you look any scarier?""Out with it!""Her name's Tania, Liliana's classmate and bestie," Sean said casually. "What's she done to you?"Since Liliana was involved, S

Lareal glanced at Peter. The light in the bedroom was dim, casting shadows on Peter's face and making it hard to read his expression. However, for a split second, Lareal caught a glimpse of a mischievous twinkle in Peter's eyes. "Go on," Peter said with a hint of amusement."Let me tell you about Tania. Her story is quite unusual. The parents she lives with now aren't her real mom and dad. She was adopted from an orphanage by a woman named Yasmin, who later married a man named Christian. They made a family together. Christian is really kind to Tania and Yasmin, treating Tania as if she were his own daughter. Yasmin has everything she could ever want. ""Your main point is…" Peter said, looking up with a frown.Lareal cleared his throat. "The main thing is that Yasmin isn't nice to Tania at all. You'd think Yasmin would love Tania since she adopted her, but when Christian isn't around, Yasmin is mean to her, yelling and hitting her a lot. That only stopped when Tania got a bit older

Liliana could easily see the panic on Tania's face and instinctively held her hand tighter. "Liliana, I... I..."Something was definitely up with Tania, Liliana thought, as she examined the photos and the story in the magazine. Even though the photos were not very clear, she knew Tania so well that she instantly recognized her. The man with her was Peter.In the photo, Tania and Peter were wrapped up in each other, and Peter was barely dressed. He had just a towel around his waist and was clearly fresh from a shower.Liliana swallowed, feeling a bit shocked. Even without Tania's explanation, she could piece together the story from the photos and imagine it all too clearly.Peter might have been a mystery to Tania. She had only heard whispers of his name around town, but Liliana knew the truth. He was cut from the same cloth as her big brother Charles, but he was much colder.Charles and Sean liked to play with their prey, wearing them down until nothing was left. However, Peter wa

Liliana's words struck a chord, and Tania paused, suddenly still. She nodded. "Yes, Peter. I need to find Peter."If Jamie and Yasmin had set that trap for her and Peter, then she and Peter were in this together. After all, an enemy's enemy was a friend. They were both caught up in this mess, and she might have even upset Peter. Her next step was clear: she had to find Peter.Liliana watched Tania settle down and let out a relieved sigh. "You're not yourself right now. Stay home and rest for the next couple of days. Don't go out, okay?"Liliana kept reminding Tania, but seeing her unresponsive, she felt uneasy. She stayed by Tania's side all day. Tania was quiet the entire time. After dinner, when she was resting, Liliana seized the moment to call Sean. "Sean, can I talk to you for a second?"Sean had just walked through the hospital doors when his phone buzzed with a call from Liliana. He was the head of the hospital, but he still made sure to treat everyone the same. Though he wa

Liliana had thought Sean would not remember the incident, or if he did, it would not bother him. To her surprise, he had brought up Keith.After a brief pause, Liliana said, "His name is Keith."She looked straight at Sean and added, "He's my boyfriend."The moment she said it, the room went silent. Sean's expression did not change, but his eyes sparkled with a teasing glint.He stared intently at Liliana as if trying to read her. However, Liliana just met his gaze, her eyes revealing nothing more.She was not lying. Keith really was her boyfriend."When did this start?" Sean asked.He was not shocked that she had a boyfriend. She was nearly done with college, and dating was normal. However, a strange, suffocating feeling crept into his chest, leaving him feeling uneasy.He hated feeling out of control, but deep down, he knew Liliana was his sister, and it was only natural for her to date. He pushed down that odd feeling. "Does your older brother know about this?"Liliana was
