Semua Bab The Wife He Never Wanted: Bab 251 - Bab 260

CassandraI had taken care of him for two days, and it felt relieving to finally be free from having to care for him anymore. He had recovered.And all day long, I didn’t see him at all. I managed it very well, leaving before breakfast and coming home earlier than usual, so after playing with Miles, I went straight to my room to rest, and perhaps it could be said that I was hiding from him.I was just a little scared to meet him. Maybe that’s how it could be described.When he hugged me without a shirt on, I could feel his skin so clearly. His strong, warm body, his distinctive scent… ah, I could remember that moment so vividly.Especially his scent, that was what made me unable to trust myself. How could I remember it so clearly, as if it were deeply embedded in my consciousness?I didn’t want to assume that it happened because I still had feelings for him.Unsure of myself, I avoided him. My heart was anxious, it was terrifying to make the same mistake again.Fortunately, until the

CassandraJust by watching the snow continue to fall outside, I can already feel the cold. I know it isn’t as severe as before, but still, I haven’t given Miles permission to go outside.I hold his hand and sit in the living room, where the large Christmas tree glows with its decorative lights. The Christmas atmosphere still feels warm, even though it’s just the two of us.Miles straightens his clothes, a green sweater like a Christmas tree and a red hat. I’m wearing the same as him, making sure that we truly share the same happiness.The Christmas songs we play make the holiday atmosphere even stronger. Since Miles was not even a year old, he has celebrated Christmas with a wide smile. I still remember—back then, he peed on Dylan’s clothes, and everyone laughed at the incident.Now, it’s just the two of us. In front of the Christmas tree, we take photos. It feels a little different, but the two of us remain inseparable.Maybe trying to convince myself that this truly doesn’t affect m

CassandraI couldn’t help the heavy feeling weighing on my heart slowly fading away. A nice day like Christmas made me feel more at ease, and being near Miles, listening to him talk with Dylan, made me even more relaxed.He had just finished a case there, and I knew he had taken on many cases. All I hoped was that he was doing well.When the phone call ended, Miles got up from the sofa, stretching his body.“Mom, let’s go.”I knew that after talking with Dylan, he had become more excited to do other activities. Today he promised to meet Tucker, they wanted to play at Lake Asborn, which wasn’t far from here.We only needed to walk for about ten minutes to get there. Before we opened the door, the bell rang, startling me. Maybe they had actually come here to pick us up.As I opened the door, a large man in a black fur-lined coat stood there, holding a big gift box.“Sandra Astor?”I nodded.As the man handed me a slip of paper as proof of delivery, I realized someone had sent me a packa

SebastianAnd so, I immediately walked toward them with an uneasy feeling. That man always seemed to be trying to interfere with my time, an intruder who followed Cassandra wherever she went.They noticed my arrival. Still trying to ignore that man, I didn’t want to start a fight that Cassandra wouldn’t like.“Why did you come here? Do you want to go ice skating too?” Cassandra asked, trying to avoid making eye contact with me.At that moment, I wanted to talk about Nakka first, but seeing the situation—and that man trying to steal the opportunity, I quickly changed my answer.“Ah, yeah.”“Why did you bring Nakka, Uncle?”More than anything, when that question came from Miles, I was shocked and left speechless for a few seconds.I didn’t want the man trying to steal a head start to smile, thinking I was embarrassing myself and losing to him.Regaining control of myself, I answered his question right away. “Nakka was outside. I was walking around looking for you.”More than anything, I

Cassandra“Are you really going to sell your house?”A few days later, Erica contacted me. I knew she was dealing with something very important. As a single mother, there must be many things she has to take care of.Even so, I didn’t expect her to ask about this after several days.The question about selling the house made me look outside, at this quiet and beautiful place. I was lucky to have it.I shook my head with a faint smile. “No. I’ve only just moved in, Erica.”I took a breath before continuing. “I don’t like their arguments. They’re too noisy.”I’m not sure whether she heard my small click of the tongue or not, but I didn’t regret saying it. That day, all I wanted was peace. And in reality, that day truly was peaceful.An image of Sebastian joining me for dinner surfaced in my mind. Don’t misunderstand, I mean that the pleasant things that happened had nothing to do with him at all.If he didn’t cause trouble, then I felt much calmer.“Yeah… you’re right. I also didn’t know
