Unstoppable Desire (English) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 261 - チャプター 270

Sage’s POVI gently stroked her hair while gazing at her. She was fast asleep. I thought she had fully recovered from the trauma of the explosion, so I was shocked when I heard her loud scream and the sound of glass shattering. Good thing I was already on my way upstairs.I looked at her softly.“If only I could let you know how much you mean to me,” I whispered.“Yes, I love you… but I can’t love you more…”For years, I’ve tried to hold back the deepening of my feelings for her. But the more I tried to resist, the deeper I fell.“Sage?”“Uhm… are you feeling better?” She sat beside me and pressed her body against mine, hugging me tightly.“I had a bad dream…” My eyes widened.“Do you remember your dream?” I asked.She nodded. “It felt so real. I was riding a boat… then suddenly, it exploded… and I was thrown into the air…”My breath caught.“I’ve been having the same dreams these past few nights,” she added.“Sage… I’m scared. I don’t know why, where… or what it means.”I hugged her

Scarlett’s POV“Mommy… Huhuhu…”I stopped in my tracks as I was about to enter the school gate. My chest tightened when I saw the look on my daughter’s face.I rushed to her and hugged her tightly.“Babe!” I held her in my arms immediately.“Why are you crying?” I asked, my voice almost breaking in shock and worry.Classes had just started. This was supposed to be a happy day, full of play, laughter, and color on her face… but why was my daughter like this?Her voice trembled, her cheeks soaked in tears as she began to speak.“They’re bullying me, Mommy… They said I don’t have a father… That I’m an orphan… That you just picked me up on the street… and… and… that I came from a chicken!” she sobbed uncontrollably, her words almost incoherent.I felt numb. With every word my daughter spoke, it was as if my heart was being stabbed. I wanted to lash out. I wanted to confront those kids and defend her. But I forced myself to hide the trembling of my hands and the tears welling in my eyes.

George’s POVI couldn’t help but smile when I saw a cute little girl struggling to reach for a macaroon at the buffet table.She’s very pretty. But what caught my attention more were her big round eyes. They looked… familiar. I couldn’t quite place where I’d seen them before.“Do you need help? I can get it for you,” I offered with a smile.When she looked up at me, I don’t know why… but something tugged at my heart. And I noticed that she seemed to be studying my face too.She just nodded shyly.“There you go,” I said, handing her the macaroon.“Thank you!” she replied with a bright smile.“Are you alone, little girl?” I asked, bending down slightly, worried.“No. I’m with my uncle. He is sitting over there.” She pointed at a table, but it was empty.“Hmm, maybe he went outside. You know, my uncle is very busy…” she said, like she was already used to it.“Is it really okay for you to get food all by yourself?” I asked, frowning a little.“Of course! I’m a big girl now. I can do it.”

Nick’s POVI left Dylan with his grandmother for a while as I discreetly pulled out my phone, thinking of calling George.“Hello, Nick! How are you?” he greeted cheerfully.“I’m at the Laviste mansion right now. I brought Dylan… it’s his grandfather’s birthday.”“I see… did you read my email?”“Yeah. But what is it? Why couldn’t you just tell me in the email?”“Let’s meet. Do you want me to come to your condo? Or would you prefer my new unit?”I frowned. “What’s with the secrecy, George?”I glanced at Dylan. He was happily coloring while his Lola guided his hand.“You’ll know later…” his tone carried weight.I exhaled slowly. Maybe I should give Andrea’s parents some time with Dylan.“I’ll call you back,” I said and ended the call.I approached Mrs. Laviste.“I need to go to the city. I’ll just meet George.”Her face fell.“What time? Are you and Dylan leaving again?”It took me a moment to answer.“Would it be alright if I leave Dylan here with you? I don’t want him to get too tired

George’s POV “So that’s the reason, you wanted to kill yourself again?” My voice came out sharp, laced with anger as my eyes bore into him.He shook his head firmly. “No. I wasn’t trying to commit suicide this time… I just got lost under the sea while diving. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe… that’s why I almost drowned.”I didn’t know if I could believe him. He had already tried to end his life several times before.“Even if I want to die, I know I can’t, because there’s a child depending on me. I cannot just leave Dylan. He needs me.”“Good. At least you know that,” I snapped, irritation spilling from my voice. “Tsk. I swear, I want to punch you right now.”“I know. I’m so stupid… huh.”“Good thing you know.”I fell silent, staring at him. I could feel the heaviness he carried, guilt, longing, regret. We were the same. Both weighed down by the past, both struggling to forget. Especially now, after learning Jessica was never really his sister. All the pain he had caused her… i
