Betrayed, Contract Marriage with Mr. Devil のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

Chapter 122The bedroom light glowed dimly. The curtains were tightly drawn, leaving a silent atmosphere filled only by the soft sound of Giselle’s breathing. Her body still lay weak on the large bed.Leon had been sitting at the side of the bed for a long time. His suit jacket was already off, his shirt slightly rumpled. He had not moved since the doctor left. His gaze was fixed on Giselle’s pale face, her brows faintly furrowed as if still holding anger even in unconsciousness.In the next room, Gesha was already sleeping soundly. Mrs. Hansel was accompanying her, making sure her granddaughter would not be disturbed by anything tonight.The wall clock showed it was almost midnight.Leon let out a long breath, then reached for a small towel and dampened it. He gently wiped Giselle’s forehead, carefully, as if afraid of hurting her.“Why are you always this stubborn, Giselle…” he murmured softly.Giselle’s eyelids fluttered slowly. Her breathing changed, becoming slightly heavier.Leo

Chapter 124The atmosphere in the De Santos mansion’s dining room felt calmer than the night before. Morning light streamed through the large windows, illuminating the long table neatly arranged with breakfast dishes. Giselle sat facing Gesha, while Leon was seated at the end of the table. Mrs. Hansel sat beside Gesha, watching them all with an unreadable expression.Gesha ate heartily, smiling to herself from time to time. In contrast, Giselle kept lowering her gaze, stirring her breakfast without really enjoying it.“Mommy, eat more,” Gesha said cheerfully. “You look tired.”Giselle smiled faintly. “Mommy is fine.”Leon glanced at Giselle briefly. “You haven’t eaten since earlier.”“I will eat,” Giselle replied shortly, without looking at him.Mrs. Hansel put down her spoon. “After breakfast, Giselle should go out for a while. Get some fresh air.”Giselle turned her head. “Go out?”Leon nodded slightly. “I’ve asked Mommy Hansel to accompany you. Just for a walk. You need it.”“I don

Chapter 126The night grew late at the De Santos mansion. The corridor lights were dim, leaving a faint glow that made the atmosphere feel heavy and quiet. In Gesha’s bedroom, the child was already sleeping soundly. Her breathing was steady, her favorite doll hugged tightly against her chest.Giselle sat at the edge of the bed, staring at her daughter’s face for a long time. She gently stroked Gesha’s hair, as if making sure the child was truly at peace.“Sleep well,” she whispered.As she stood up to leave, the bedroom door opened slowly. Leon stood at the doorway, his face flat, his eyes fixed on Giselle.“We need to talk,” Leon said briefly.“I don’t want to right now,” Giselle replied quickly. “Gesha is already asleep.”Leon stepped inside without asking permission. He grabbed Giselle’s wrist and pulled her out of the room.“Leon!” Giselle restrained her voice so she would not wake Gesha. “Let me go!”Leon did not answer. His steps were firm as he dragged Giselle along the corrido

.Chapter 128The car carrying Giselle stopped once again in front of the De Santos Mansion. The large iron gate slowly opened, just like her arrival a few days ago. But this time, her feelings were different. There was no raging anger, no desire to fight. What filled her instead was exhaustion, guilt, and confusion blended into one.Giselle got out of the car. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her chest, which had felt tight since earlier. Her steps were hesitant as she walked across the wide courtyard. But before she could think any further, a small voice she knew so well made her stop.“Mommy!”Giselle turned around.Gesha ran toward her, followed by Diego, who looked no less enthusiastic. The faces of both children were bright, as if there were no burdens in their world.“Mommy!” Gesha immediately hugged Giselle’s legs tightly.Giselle reflexively crouched down and hugged her daughter. “Hi, sweetheart,” she said softly while stroking Gesha’s back.Diego stood beside them, loo

Chapter 130The bedroom door closed softly behind them. Dim light illuminated the room, making it feel warmer than usual. Giselle stood a few steps from the door, while Leon removed his watch and placed it on the small table near the sofa.Leon turned, looking at Giselle with an unreadable gaze. “You look tired,” he said softly.Giselle smiled faintly. “But I’m fine.”She stepped closer. This time, Giselle did not hesitate. She lifted her hand, gripping the collar of Leon’s shirt and pulling him slightly closer. Leon fell silent, not resisting, even seeming to enjoy the control.“Do you realize how you’re looking at me right now?” Leon asked in a low voice.“Since I stopped running,” Giselle answered honestly.Leon was about to say something, but Giselle gently pushed him until he sat on the edge of the bed. Leon complied without resistance. A small smile appeared at the corner of his lips.“You know what you’re doing, right?” Leon asked.Giselle nodded. “I do.”She stood between Leon
