My BEAST HUSBAND のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

“Hmm?” Ruby shifted her eyes from the screen and looked back at Ed.“What?” Ed asked in return.“You said something.” Ruby heard something but wasn't sure what.“Really? I didn't say anything.” Ed shook his head in denial. Ed just realized he had said it out loud. He had intended to keep it in his head.“Oh, okay.” Ruby was hesitant, convinced she heard something. But she couldn't insist if Ed himself didn't feel he had said anything.“You’re twenty-four,” Ed said suddenly.Ruby turned again. “Age? Yes. I'm twenty-four.” Ruby didn't need to think while answering, given that she and Liz were of the same age. Ed should know that too.“You don’t look twenty-four.”Ruby finally put down her phone. It was her turn to feel a bit offended. She didn’t understand why Ed suddenly brought up age, but the statement ‘not like 24’ stung. Her face shouldn’t look that old. Discussing age was a sensitive topic for women.“Then how old do I look?” Ruby tried not to sound snappy, but she still sounded c

Time had never moved so slowly for Ruby. Each second seemed to pass more leisurely, giving her longer moments to absorb her surroundings.Her eyes were still darkened, and Ed's hand was still covering them, but Ruby didn't feel blind at all. Her other senses took over, providing intense stimulation and heightening every tickle in her stomach, as well as every nerve ending throughout her body.When he felt her pull away, Ed cupped and held Ruby's head. He knew she wasn’t avoiding him. Ruby wasn't scared, just weak.Ed wouldn't let her pull away. However, he couldn't resist the allure of her delicate lips. Ed wanted every inch of her, and every response from Ruby was like a fire igniting his body. Ruby didn’t reciprocate properly, but instinctively, her lips parted, inviting Ed to explore.Ed kissed those soft, innocent lips, brushing and playfully biting the corners. He inhaled deeply, taking in the warm pheromones she exuded.Ruby felt

“Gone? What do you mean? Dead?” When Otiz delivered the unpleasant news about Carlos, Ed had just sat down.“No, but someone helped him escape.”Ed immediately frowned. “You’ve been disappointing me a lot lately. Are you sure you still want to live?”“Forgive me, Don Rosas!” Otiz bowed. He didn’t dare lift his head. He didn't defend himself, knowing his mistake was grave.“How could this happen?” Ed asked.“The doctor ordered another CT scan because Carlos had been complaining of a headache since last night—they were worried about a fracture besides the jaw. There were people following him during the CT scan, but he didn’t return. It seems someone was waiting in that room and helped him escape through the window.”Otiz explained it as thoroughly as possible. Very honestly, despite the severe consequences.“Your skills seem to have rus

Esli read the message and frowned. It was from Ruby. It wasn’t like her to send a message first. The message asked him to call her.“How bold. Just like her mother,” he muttered. Esli pressed the call button. “What do you want?”“Tell Liz to stop posting photos!” Ruby immediately yelled in a panic.“What are you talking about?” Esli didn’t understand.“Photos! Liz is posting photos from who knows where on social media. Ed will see them! He’ll start wondering how I can be in two places at once.”“Damn it!” Esli cursed. He grabbed his laptop and opened social media—something he had never done before and never thought of doing.“You need to tell Liz to delete everything,” Ruby repeated.Esli groaned. It was already hard enough managing Liz. But Ruby was right; Esli had seen Liz’s posts.“Do your job properly and

“You…”Ruby stammered, but before she could pull away, someone suddenly yanked her hair.“AGHH!” Ruby screamed as her body was dragged away from Pedro.“You whore! We just got here, and you're already throwing yourself at him?!” Mia shouted as she continued to pull Ruby away from Pedro. Ruby's eyes welled up with pain from her scalp.“Mia… enough, Mia… Stop…” Pedro pleaded, trying to release Mia's grip on Ruby's hair.“How dare you flirt with him when I'm right here? You really have no shame!” Mia swung her hand to slap her, but Ruby blocked it with a grimace.“I wasn’t flirting! I didn’t even see him!” Ruby pulled Mia's hand, which was still gripping her hair, closer.“Nonsense! You’ve intended to seduce him from the start, haven’t you? You wouldn’t keep staring at Pedro if you didn’t have bad intentions!” Mia tried to attack again.“Staring at what?!” Ruby dodged and swatted Mia's hand away. She couldn't understand how Mia co
