Semua Bab Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife: Bab 531 - Bab 540

The sky, once clear, was suddenly covered by a thick layer of dark clouds. The light indoors dimmed sharply—the air carried the momentum of an approaching storm.“It looks like it’s going to rain.”As she spoke, a branch-shaped bolt of lightning crawled across the window, hovering menacingly in the clouds before vanishing in an instant.Startled, Adriana quickly shut the window.Calvin found three books, and outside, the heavy rain began pounding down, as if squeezing time itself—clattering and rushing in a wild torrent.Summer rain came in torrents of lightning and thunder.Click!!!An explosive clap of thunder tore through the sky, as if it wanted to blow a hole right through it.Calvin frowned. “The weather forecast is getting more and more inaccurate.”“Yeah, the forecast didn’t say anything about rain.”Adriana felt a twinge of frustration—how could she possibly send Calvin away in such a downpour?She couldn’t even think of a polite way to ask him to leave.Helpless, she accepte

On the other side, Calvin was pushed by his anger walked into the pouring rain.The downpour blurred his vision, rain washing over everything in sight. He ignored the honking of passing vehicles and strode down the sidewalk in long, determined steps, completely disregarding red traffic lights and the furious shouts from both sides of the street.After more than twenty minutes in the rain, his thoughts began to smooth out—just barely.A sliver of unexpected sanity returned.Only then did he realize how far overboard he had gone.With an irritated sigh, he pulled out his phone. “It’s me.”Half an hour later“Weren’t you doing better? How did it spiral out of control again?”In a discreet private treatment center in New York City, Dr. Louis, bespectacled and composed, finished examining him and spoke with concern. “What happened that made you lose control?”Calvin took a deep drag on the cigarette in his hand. The wet tips of his hair still dripped steadily, though he seemed oblivious. “

One hand propped on the edge of the bed, the other holding his chin.Afraid of hurting him—and even more afraid of choking him—she fed him slowly and carefully, never pressing too hard against his lips for fear of breaking the already dry skin.Within moments, she heard the sound of Calvin swallowing.That was a good sign. Adriana eased her heart a little and continued feeding him several more mouthfuls in the same careful way. By the time she’d managed to give him almost an entire cup of water, her own lips were numb.As for the man, the dry skin on his mouth had been softened by the water, taking on a faint flush of color. His sensually thin lips glistened faintly, like two pieces of pale jade—just looking at them made one want to claim them.He was sick like this, and still damn attractive.Adriana patted her own face, refusing to let her mind wander down that path. She brushed aside those thoughts that had no busi

Adriana said with a note of relief, “I mean, if there’s nothing else for me to do, I’ll go home.”Calvin glanced at the wall clock and reminded her, “It’s three in the morning—why are you still going home? Here are the clothes to change into. Take a shower and go to bed.”Since the moment she had walked through the door, Adriana had hardly been idle. She had completely lost track of time. Looking up now, she was surprised to see how late it was.“That’s fine,” she said. “You rest first. I’ll go downstairs. Call me if something happens.”Calvin closed his eyes. “Mm-hm.”Standing in the bathroom, Adriana’s nerves finally relaxed, and exhaustion washed over her in waves.Her overdrawn strength was being eaten away relentlessly, and she felt like she could fall asleep standing up.Dragging her worn body, she collapsed onto the guest room&

Front-row VIP seats.Anaya, the Walker family’s young lady, sat side by side with the “relatives” she had brought with her.The Walker family enjoyed special privileges at the University of Political Science and Law—an open secret the administration pretended to keep under wraps.This time, the university wanted to hold a special welcoming ceremony for the Walker family, but Anaya refused. She only asked for two seats to be reserved and stressed that her brother disliked noise and would not tolerate any disturbance from anyone. Otherwise, there would be consequences.Thus, although everyone was curious about the man beside Anaya, no one dared to ask more than a single question—or even look at him for too long.Anaya said casually, “Mark is very handsome. His temperament is steady, worthy of being a military descendant. Tsk… the way he walked just now—honestly, that was handsome to me.”Calvin’s bashful gaze fell on her, the light around him brightening, especially the way the lamps re
