Goodbye, My Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

When Britney raised her eyes, she didn’t find that gaze she had felt earlier. She didn’t think much of it, but when Manuel placed a perfectly cooked shrimp in her bowl, Britney couldn’t help but feel surprised. Manuel, how do you know everything about me? In front of this person, Britney felt as if she was being completely exposed... “Manuel, you’re so good to Britney!” Livia looked at Britney with envy. “Britney will be your brother’s wife in the future. Of course, he should treat her well!” Natalia lovingly looked at her dazed daughter. “Yeah! A brother should always treat his wife well!” The mood during dinner was warm and harmonious. After the meal, Manuel accompanied Daniel to play chess, while Livia begged Britney to visit her art studio. “Britney, what does being in love feel like?” Britney pushed Livia towards the studio. After a moment of thought, Britney patiently replied, “When he’s around, everything in the world feels beautiful!” “Is that how it feels between yo

The innocent kiss gradually began to spiral out of control. A fiery heat surged from the tailbone, traveling to her lower abdomen, then deep into her heart. Manuel reluctantly pulled away, their foreheads touching as their breaths became ragged. His dark eyes lingered on her flushed lips, the misty gaze on her delicate face deepening with desire... "I'm really afraid I won’t be able to control myself." His voice was soft, like the most intoxicating wine, like the sweetest words of a lover, unintentionally stirring the heart. The sound was utterly mesmerizing. Britney thought, this voice was like poison! "Mu Mu..." The whisper was full of longing. "Mm..." Britney replied softly. "I might have to leave for a month." "Mm..." "I’ll be back before our wedding." There were still two weeks before the wedding. By the end of February, Goldmoor would welcome the spring... Their wedding would take place then. Manuel had chosen the date, saying that spring was the season Mu Mu loved.

That night, the cold was even more intense, with temperatures around -6°C. A black sedan drove toward a private villa. This was another property of the **Hammond family**. Though it wasn’t as old as the main family estate, it was purchased by Britney's great-grandfather during his lifetime and was still considered a rare treasure. After the Maxwell family moved out of the old estate, they had been living here. Britney’s family braved the chill and entered the living room, only to find the Maxwell family sitting comfortably together, chatting and laughing without any intention of greeting them. “Conrad’s parents heard that I’m expecting a boy. They’re so happy they can’t stop smiling! Conrad, don’t you think so?” Stephanie said, her face full of smiles. It wasn’t clear whether she meant this to be heard by Britney. “Yes! Mom and Dad are very happy. Actually, whether it’s a boy or a girl, they’ll love it,” Conrad replied, sitting with Stephanie with their backs to the entrance. “H

Stephanie and her mother, Jamiya, were in the room looking at clothes when suddenly, Stephanie remembered there was someone else in the house who made her uneasy. She rushed downstairs, but Britney was nowhere to be found, and Conrad was also missing. Thinking of the only possible explanation, Stephanie hurried to the garden. To her surprise, she saw it—Conrad was holding Britney! So, Conrad still had feelings for Britney… Britney, didn’t you agree to marry Manuel? And now you’re letting Conrad hold you like this without resistance? Isn’t this too embarrassing? She turned around and quickly returned to the living room. In the cold wind, Britney and Conrad stood facing each other. Catching sight of the figure walking away, Britney smiled faintly. Since there wasn’t time to deal with her right now, why not give her some trouble? Since Stephanie had gone so far, she wouldn’t feel sorry for her in the future! “Manuel can’t give you what you need, but you think Conrad can?” Britney

After finishing their Western meal, Britney took Karsyn shopping. They wandered from Universal Mall to New World Mall. Over the years, Britney wouldn’t say she fully understood the tastes of the Schwartz family, but at least she had a good grasp of them. The Schwartz family preferred high-end, tasteful items and had very particular standards. Britney put in a lot of effort choosing gifts, hoping that Karsyn would leave a good impression when meeting the Schwartz family for the first time. After picking out the gifts, they noticed it was still early. The two of them went into a luxury lingerie store, where the manager instantly recognized them as VIP customers and warmly introduced the latest arrivals. “Britney, this lingerie looks perfect on you! Why don’t I give it to you as a wedding gift?” Karsyn laughed mischievously. The pink leopard print set, with a mix of leopard spots and black lace, was both seductive and delicate. The thin straps were adorned with dazzling rhinestones, a
