Semua Bab Rejected, But Trapped By The Alpha King: Bab 491 - Bab 500

Luana's fingers dug into Cline's collar, her knuckles whitening from the strain.After a moment of hesitation, memories of walking on eggshells around him flooded back.She abruptly released him, her tone ice-cold and mechanical, "Mr. Moriarty, we were once business partners. Now that we've parted ways, why speak of love?"Outside the door, Dorian's anxious shouts cut through the heavy air, "Dorothy!" Pushes and muffled struggles accompanied his voice.Luana stiffened, frowning at Cline. "Let me go. Stop this."Instead of releasing her, Cline pulled her closer, his chin grazing her earlobe, his breath hot against her skin. "I won't let you go.""Cline!" Luana erupted, veins throbbing in her neck. "I married Dorian as Dorothy and Albion as Luana! I belong to them, not you! Why can't you leave me be?"Her words struck Cline like a hammer blow.His arms went rigid, emotions draining away to leave numbness.Slowly, he releas

Cline lifted his hand and gently touched her cheek, saying, "The person I've wanted to marry has always been you."His voice was deep, yet tinged with restrained deep affection, causing Luana's heart to tremble for a moment before quickly being replaced by disbelief.Cline opened his thin lips as if to say something more when Russell's voice came from the front, "Mr. Moriarty, we've arrived."Cline slightly lifted his head and looked at Luana, reluctantly hugging her tighter once more.However, Luana gazed at him indifferently, as if reproaching him for his inconsistency.Cline curved his lips into a bitter smile and softly said, "It's over."Luana glanced at him, then released her arms around his neck and stepped down from his lap.After exiting the car, Cline called out to her again, "Luana."Luana turned around and looked at the noble and cold man sitting inside the dimly lit car.The darkness seemed to envelop him, c

She tilted her head back to look at him, her tearful eyes crinkling into a smile. "I'm here.""Thank goodness, I heeded your words," Albion said, a gentle curve to his lips."What words?" she asked.He froze for a moment—it seemed she no longer recalled their past conversation.But it didn't matter, as long as he remembered. Extending his arms, Albion pulled her into a tight embrace with all his strength, whispering into her ear, "This time, I haven't forgotten you..."Every day, he recalled her appearance countless times, etching every detail into his memory.Even when memories occasionally blurred, he dared not let her image fade, for she had once said, "In the next life, don't forget me again...""I'm sorry, Albion..." Luana's freshly stopped tears began to flow again.She recalled the pain he must have endured when she wished to see Cline one last time before her death."You have nothing to apologize for," Albi

"No trouble at all. Mr. Moriarty's salary is way more than what I earned as a nurse in the hospital," Vivian said with a shake of her head.Because of her gentle nature and caregiving skills, the hospital director had recommended her to Mr. Moriarty.He offered her a salary ten times higher than her nursing job, asking her to take good care of Mr. Preston. It was a rare and desirable opportunity."And Mr. Preston isn't like other patients in the hospital. No messy duties like helping with bathroom needs. I just cook and wash clothes for him."As for his personal care, Stanley takes care of that, so it's really a pleasant job," Vivian added.After serving the rice, she said to the two, "You start eating first. I'll wait for Stanley to come back and eat with him."With that, Vivian left the dining room, giving them space to be alone.After Vivian exited, Luana was somewhat dazed—she hadn't expected that Cline had not only saved Al

Luana looked at Eva with red eyes, as if she could no longer hold back her emotions."Eva, if he loved me, would he have made me kneel to pour him alcohol after we broke up?" she asked."Would he have slapped a check for five million dollars in my face and called it payment for five years of service?"Would he have laughed at me, saying I was nothing while holding his fiancée's waist?"Would he have slapped me hard, knowing I have a heart condition?"Would he have deleted my phone number?"Would he have stayed with Runa even as I was dying?"After this barrage of questions, Luana clenched her fists and demanded of Eva, "Tell me, what is love?"Eva was stunned and didn't know how to respond for Cline anymore.Except for the last three incidents, she was unaware of the others.Though she couldn't fully empathize with Luana, as a woman, she sensed the desperation in Luana's words."Cold spells and hot s
