บททั้งหมดของ Turning Heads After Divorce: บทที่ 301 - บทที่ 310

In late winter, inside Everton University's research institute, the office buzzed with a mix of cheers and groans. The team had just completed the first major phase of their project, and now everyone was eagerly debating where to go for the celebratory dinner. But in a quiet corner, Marisol and the project lead had already slipped away. "Is it okay to leave without saying anything?" Marisol asked, feeling slightly guilty about sneaking off. "It's fine," Nick replied with a soft smile. He reached up to straighten the fluffy white beanie on her head, which sat crooked from her haste. "Keep that on properly. Don't catch a cold. I've already sent the team their bonuses. As the lead, my job is to fund the fun. Besides, I made you a promise that once we wrapped up this phase, I'd make you potato pancakes. Have you changed your mind?" Marisol's eyes lit up. She'd loved potato pancakes as a child, though they were a rare treat. After running away from home, she hadn't tasted them s

"Marisol, we've found a few candidates for you, and they're all from wealthy families. You'll be living in comfort," Harper said as she slid several photos across the table. Marisol barely glanced at them. The youngest man in the stack looked to be in his 30s, with greasy skin and a thick gold chain around his neck. It was the very image of a tasteless nouveau riche. "Comfort?" she scoffed. "Or is it your comfort you're after? How much did they offer you to sell me this eagerly?" There wasn't even rage anymore. Marisol was bitterly amused at their naked greed in marrying her off like a business transaction. "You ungrateful brat! Is that how you speak to your parents?" Damon barked. Marisol flicked a cold glance his way. The bloodied shard in her hand was tilting slightly. Damon shut up instantly. Harper, however, jabbed a finger at Marisol. Her face was flushed with fury. "You're dropping out of university today and coming home with us. This city's turned you wild and heart

The lighting was dim, and everything fell quiet.Even Nick was completely taken aback by Marisol's question. He froze in place and stared at her for the longest time ever, as if he couldn't believe what she just said.Finally, his mouth moved a little. "W-What did you just say?"Marisol repeated her question. Her face was as red as a tomato. She felt ashamed and guilty as she explained everything, albeit with much complication, about her situation at home now.She then hung her head awkwardly.If she had a choice, she would rather hide her past for the rest of her life. But now, at this point, she knew that she was going to have to explain herself clearly if she wanted Nick to help her."I know that you're thinking."I know my family is a mess. I know there's going to be a lot of complications, but I really don't know what to do anymore. I'll try my best not to drag you in any further after we get married. I promise I'll be good to you. "It's just that I really need the marria

Marisol was suddenly aware that her words would anger Lucian, so she hurriedly said, "No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll take you to the hospital, okay? "Please, I promise I didn't put much in the wine! I'm begging you… Please let me take you to the hospital… We can see a doctor, and I promise nothing will happen! It was just a tiny amount! They told me there aren't any side effects at all. You have to believe me!"Please, please, please, I'm sorry! Oh, your fiancee! You can call your fiancee and ask her to come by! Please, I'm begging you…"Marisol kept running around the room like a frightened, headless chicken. She gasped and cried loudly.There was the faint sound of laughter in the air, tinged with that of mockery, and Marisol thought that she heard a deep, scratchy voice amidst the laughter."Who was the wine intended for again?"Marisol cried so hard that her mind went blank. She didn't even try to answer as she bolted for the door at the first opportunity and started banging

"We've been through a life-or-death situation. That means we're survival buddies!" Zachary exclaimed.Marisol was stunned.Zachary's train of thought never failed to surprise her. It was totally unexpected. And yet, she couldn't help being positively influenced by how lively and optimistic he was.So, despite her splitting headache, she struggled to get to her feet and stretched out her right hand toward Zachary as well. She bumped fists with him as a smile formed on her lips."I guess we are.""Survival buddies!"They had survived a life-or-death situation together.Surprisingly, with such a strange experience behind them and the current fist bump, Marisol could feel the last of her despair, which she'd suppressed within her for a while, vanish into thin air. Instead, she felt invigorated, as if her body and limbs were being injected with a burning fire of passion and justice… and maybe more.However, that didn't matter anymore. Marisol and Zachary were now both standing i
