Semua Bab Second Marriage to the Billionaire: Ex-Husband Begs Me Not to Go: Bab 211 - Bab 220

"I remember... but... are we really going to sleep together?"Aria spoke haltingly, as if she couldn't believe Archer really intended to do this."Did you forget that we're husband and wife, legally married?"Archer's hand gently brushed past her ear, his dark eyes looking at her had lost their initial coldness, hiding an unpredictable obsession in their depths."Whether we sleep together or not is your choice. I won't force you."His voice remained gentle. Aria paused, but at this moment found it hard to refuse.She looked up at the man before her, feeling as if her heart was melting bit by bit."Why use the word 'force'?" She tugged at Archer's sleeve. "We're already husband and wife, aren't we?""Husband and wife should sleep together," she said in an almost whispered voice.She didn't notice the man's gaze growing even deeper as he watched her."Alright, let's sleep together."It wasn't until the man embraced her and pressed her onto the bed for a kiss that she felt a bi

Grandview's service had always been excellent, so even though the manager was particularly respectful to Aria, it didn't arouse suspicion from James or Rachel.When the dishes were served, Rachel could estimate the prices from what she saw. After the waitstaff left, she couldn't help but feel distressed again. Only after Aria repeatedly assured her that she could really afford it and that Larry had provided substantial compensation did Rachel stop worrying.Though she voiced concern, Rachel and James were genuinely happy eating.The two hadn't properly enjoyed themselves in years. They used to dine at Grandview without a care, but now they had to worry about prices, which made Aria's heart ache.Now tasting those familiar flavors and feelings again, James and Rachel's faces showed both nostalgia and melancholy.Aria couldn't help thinking of Archer, feeling grateful for his thoughtfulness.Yes, it was Archer who had given her a supplementary card.Thinking of this, Aria felt war

The people inside were all familiar to her—Robert Duncan, Grace Chancer, and beside them sat Archer, smoking with his pale, long fingers holding the cigarette with his usual elegance, ignoring the somewhat displeased expression of Benjamin Williams across from him as he continued to exhale smoke leisurely.Across from them sat Benjamin Williams and Sandra Peterson, her uncle and aunt, with her cousin Kandice Williams sitting next to them, positioned directly across from Archer. The smoke Archer exhaled was affecting Kandice the most.Actually, Archer had just arrived. Anticipating that today's dinner would be unusual, he had deliberately kept everyone waiting and arrived late. When he saw Benjamin's family, he raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding the situation.Without a word, he sat down, offered no apology, and directly lit a cigarette. If it had been anyone else, the three people across from him would have probably exploded by now, but unfortunately it was Archer doing th

Standing in the corridor outside Aria's private dining room, Archer still had a cigarette between his lips, his head tilted downward as smoke drifted upward, gradually obscuring his eyes.Archer squinted through the haze and sent Aria a text message: "Come out. I'm waiting outside your room."But again, there was no response.Archer remained in the corridor for a full fifteen minutes. Having finished his cigarette, his eyes narrowed dangerously as he contemplated how to draw Aria out. Just as he retrieved his phone to send another message, he heard the distinct "click" of a door opening across the hall.Looking up, he saw the door swing open.Archer was about to speak when his lips pressed into a tight line, his gaze fixed on the emerging figures.It wasn't just Aria—behind her came James in his wheelchair and Rachel.Aria hadn't finally decided to see him; rather, the family had simply finished their meal and was preparing to leave.James and Rachel had thoroughly enjoyed thei

Rachel listened in confusion—had something happened between these two?Archer narrowed his eyes and took a fierce drag from his cigarette."Look, it's cold and windy tonight with rain falling. You've been unable to catch a taxi, leaving Aunt Rachel and your brother standing here in the cold," Oliver spoke earnestly, his eyes fixed directly on Aria, making her step back instinctively to distance herself from him.She glanced sideways at James and Rachel. James was already getting soaked, but when their eyes met, he simply smiled, “Aria, I'm fine."Still, Aria hesitated. Oliver became even more attentive, pointing to the roadside behind him, "My car is right here."Suddenly, Aria felt her cheeks burn. Her gaze flickered over—Archer had extinguished his cigarette at some point and was looking over with narrowed eyes.He stood there motionless, his tall frame at a clear distance, yet inexplicably making her feel intense pressure. Kandice was no longer beside him—she must have left at
