Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 181 - チャプター 190

The moment she walked into the private dining area, she froze.Sitting at the head of the table, legs casually crossed, was Adrian.Adrian.Her ex.The man who should’ve been rotting in prison with Celeste. The man who played along with Celeste’s schemes and almost destroyed her life.His eyes lit up when he saw her. “Eloise.”Her stomach twisted but she kept her face neutral. “What are you doing here?”He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he stood and opened his arms like he was welcoming an old friend. If he dared come closer, she was fully prepared to break a wine bottle over his head.Before she could even take a step back, a woman appeared beside Adrian—a woman dressed in a tailored white suit, wearing a soft smile but exuding a power that said CEO at first glance.“Miss Everheart,” the woman greeted warmly. “I’m Vivian Cruz, CEO of VC Tech Holdings. I’ll be representing our company for tonight’s meeting.”Eloise blinked. “You’re the investor?”Vivian nodded.Adrian added smoot

Adrian immediately rushed toward Vivian, reaching out as if to touch her. But the young woman shot him a deadly glare and slapped his hand away.“Don’t you dare touch me, Mr. Duvall,” Vivian warned, her voice low and sharp.Adrian forced out a nervous smile.“B-Babe. Come on… it’s me. Adrian.”Vivian stared at him with eyes cold enough to crack granite.“Yes. You are Adrian Duvall. A criminal,” she replied flatly.She stepped past him and entered the room, moving straight toward Eloise.“I’m sorry, Mrs. Whitmore. I should’ve vetted him more thoroughly.”Eloise blinked several times, unable to catch up with the whirlwind happening in front of her. Shock mixed with confusion tangled inside her chest.“W-Who are you people?” she asked.Vivian sighed softly. “Let me properly reintroduce myself. I’m Vivian Cruz, CEO of VC Tech Holdings. I came here strictly for a partnership deal. I had no idea some

Eloise stared at Dustin as he lounged on her office couch—like he owned the place.He’d been sitting there for a while now, completely silent. Not even a hint of why he came. Instead, he was looking around her office like a lost kid who wandered into a mall toy store.Eloise cleared her throat, firm and businesslike.“Mr. Cruz. May I ask the honor of your visit? Do you need something? Or… did you leave anything behind?” she asked.Dustin finally looked at her and flashed a wide grin before shaking his head.“I have something to tell you, Mrs. Whitmore.”Eloise blinked. Yesterday’s chaotic mess flashed back into her head—Sebastian, Dustin, emotions exploding like fireworks in a crowded room.“Ahm, if this is about yesterday, I apologize for my husband’s behavior. I… I didn’t know he was going to react like that. It seems the two of you know each other.”Dustin chuckled, looking anything but offended. Honestly, he looked like someone reminiscing good memories with an old friend.“It’s o

Sebastian had gone back and forth to Mhia’s house more times than he could count, hoping to talk to Eloise. But every time, Mhia greeted him at the door with the same line, that Eloise wasn’t there.He never believed her. Not for a second. So no matter how many times Mhia pushed him away, Sebastian just kept coming back.“Please, Mhia. Tell Eloise I just want to talk to her. Let me see my wife,” he begged yet again.Mhia bit her lip, blocking the doorway with her body—half inside, half outside, as if she were guarding a VIP hostage.“I’m sorry, Sebastian. But Eloise really isn’t here. Yes, she dropped by… but she already left,” she said, lying through her teeth.“I don’t believe you. My wife only goes two places — here and the orphanage. And she isn't at the orphanage,” he insisted.Mhia fell silent. If it were up to her, she would let them talk. They were married. Whatever misunderstanding they had, they needed to fix it. But Eloise wasn’t ready to face him yet.“I’m sorry, Sebastian

After her conversation with Sebastian, Eloise finally understood her husband—truly understood him.She realized why his hatred for Dustin ran so deep.And honestly, who wouldn’t feel that way?After trusting someone he considered his best friend… that same man assaulted his first love?No one could blame Sebastian for how he reacted. Not even Eloise.“Promise me, Eloise,” Sebastian murmured, almost begging. “Don’t ever go near him again. I won’t survive it if he hurts you too.”Eloise gave him a small, gentle smile. “Yes, Love. I promise. And don’t worry, I’m not leaving you. Not ever.”Sebastian squeezed her hand tightly, as if afraid she might disappear.“I’ll lose my mind if I ever lose you.”Eloise wrapped her arms around him. She felt how deeply he loved her—and she was grateful for it.Grateful that fate allowed them to find each other.After that emotional talk, Sebastian accompanied her to the OB-GYN for her check-up.Thank goodness they made up—because today, they would final
