I wish it were you의 모든 챕터: 챕터 891 - 챕터 900

What happened next had left a devastating mark on Yvette.After losing her baby, she finally saw that man for what he truly was—and made the decision to leave him for good.But the man refused to let her go. He stalled, dragged things out, made every excuse he could.She had no income. No way to afford a good lawyer.The court-appointed legal aid was careless and dismissive, treating her case like a chore.So the divorce dragged on and on, unresolved.Earlier this year, when Scott traveled to Japan for business and learned about her situation, he stepped in.He hired a competent attorney on her behalf, and finally, after years of misery, helped her secure her freedom.Just as his business in Japan wrapped up and he prepared to fly back to China, Yvette attempted to take her own life.She slit her wrists.She was found in time and rushed to the hospital. She survived.But Scott had no choice but to delay his flight home.It was then that he found out—Yvette had been struggling with dep

Julissa shook her head with a pout. “Didn’t I just say it? No breakup, no breakup~”Honestly, it was fear that made her take those words back earlier.But now that she’d heard the full story, she wasn’t even thinking about breaking up anymore.She never really wanted to, anyway.“Well then…” Scott said, a wicked glint flashing in his eyes. “It’s time for me to properly punish my dear Miss Hickman.”Julissa shivered. “Why punish me?!”“To remind you,” he said, stepping closer, “that I’m not the kind of man who gets dumped so easily.”With that, he scooped her up into his arms like she weighed nothing and carried her up the short staircase to the mezzanine level of the lounge, toward the soft, white double bed.“Scott—! You promised me—you said you wouldn’t force me into anything…”“Relax,” he murmured near her ear. “Just a few kisses, nothing… more.”The last two words were whispered in such a husky, low voice that Julissa’s face immediately turned the color of a ripe tomato.Who would

Julissa felt like her feelings for Scott perfectly fit the saying: attracted by looks, captivated by talent, and loyal to character.At first, it was his appearance that caught her eye. Then, after working with him and witnessing his work ethic, admiration followed.Now, after hearing about how he had selflessly helped Yvette with her divorce case, stood by her side through her struggles with depression, and continued to care for her after returning to the country—it all spoke volumes about his character.This wasn’t some unresolved attachment to an ex.Scott was simply a man of loyalty and integrity, even toward those who had hurt him.And looking back, he had only ever treated Yvette with basic courtesy—never crossing any inappropriate lines. It was Yvette who had misinterpreted his kindness, not him who had given her any reason to.After sorting through all this, the impulsive Julissa finally had complete clarity.She looked at her boyfriend, now finding him even more pleasing to t

Julissa stood frozen for a long moment after hearing those words. Then her face slowly flushed with heat… which soon turned cold—an icy chill creeping into her hands and feet. She wasn't a “proper” untouched girl anymore. That night when she got drunk… her first time had been with that stranger. It was a scar she carried deep in her heart, a wound that brought waves of regret every time she thought about it. She had always wanted to give that beautiful first time to the person she loved most. But what was done couldn’t be undone. Now, it was just a lingering regret. Still… regret shouldn’t mean shame. It shouldn’t be something that defined her worth. Then why… why did Scott have to point it out like that? Did he say he didn’t mind just to sound noble, when deep down, he did care? Even if it was only a joke, she didn’t want her scar—her pain—so casually exposed like that. She began to struggle in his arms. But Scott held her even tighter. Her face reddened again, this time

After quickly skimming through the report, Scott picked up his pen and signed his name with practiced ease. He then slid the document back toward Jenny.But Jenny didn’t leave. Her eyes flickered with hesitation—like she had more to say.“Anything else?” Scott asked.Jenny glanced at Julissa with a look of apology.“Miss Hickman, I’d like to speak with Mr. Nichols in private. Could you give us a moment?”Julissa’s brows knit slightly.Under normal circumstances, she should step out. But this woman clearly had ulterior motives toward Scott—Julissa wasn’t about to just hand her that opportunity.While she hesitated, Scott spoke first.“If it’s work-related, there’s no issue with my assistant staying. If it’s personal, we’re on the clock—I don’t have time for casual chatting.”Julissa: “…”Damn. He really didn’t care about saving face.Jenny’s eyes suddenly turned red, her expression pitiful and aggrieved.“…All right,” she murmured, choking up a little. Then she took a deep breath and s
