The Arrogant Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 151 - チャプター 160

The following day, they returned to settle the final problem once and for all. Aston still tried to find a moment when Patricia was alone to plead with her to change her mind, but he received only a cold smile in return. Patricia’s heart had grown numb to his love.​“If I could still love you like before, I wouldn’t be doing this, Aston. Do you know why?” she asked him in a slow voice, hiding a painful depth.​“What made you change, Pat?” Aston selfishly threw the blame back at her.​“Because I expected that upon returning, I would see only you waiting for me! But that wasn’t it. And what did I see when I came back, Aston? I saw you in our house with your mistress, who happens to be someone else’s wife. This is the home where I helped you pay half of every installment. You showed me no respect, so how dare you ask for my love? Did you really think I was that broad-minded? Or did you expect my love to stay the same after what you’ve done? My eyes are open now, Aston. Stop bothering m

Patricia’s pregnancy was filled with an almost overwhelming level of care. Every step she took, her husband followed like a shadow. Heavy work was out of the question, and she wasn’t even allowed to touch light chores. She could only sit, lie down, and eat nutritional food exactly as the doctor recommended.​“I need to walk and exercise a bit, Arthur! If I stay like this, I’ll become disabled one day, you know?” During her eighth month, Patricia finally exploded at him in frustration.​“I just don’t want you walking too far. You’re close to your due date; it’s dangerous.”​“I’m just walking inside our house and around our farm! I’m not going anywhere far. You’re being overly dramatic.” The pregnant woman stood with her hands on her hips, arguing with her husband until her face turned red. Watching them, Arthur’s mother couldn’t help but smile with affection.​“Look at that, Polly. My son is so head-over-heels for his wife and baby, he’s become a completely different person.” Rachel

Portia Lockhart was a twenty-two-year-old woman. She was the younger sister of Patrick Lockhart, his number one rival. Nicholas sat swirling wine in a tall glass and took a sip, his gaze never wavering from the girl in front of him. He vividly remembered the pain Patrick had caused him. This was what they called a ‘backstabbing’. Truthfully, he should have forgotten it by now because five years had passed. But when he saw the woman Patrick loved and protected so much, his old bitterness came back immediately. He thought to himself:if he could make Patrick’s sister fall in love with him and then abandon her, it would be the perfect revenge. Why did this grudge feel so heavy that he suddenly needed to release it?​Another thing that made Nicholas feel bitter again was the news about Patrick. Patrick was going to marry Katherine, who used to be Nicholas’s girlfriend. Nicholas wouldn’t be this bitter if the two had not secretly slept together while Katherine was still dating him, while th

Nicholas stepped back into his car. He started the engine and turned on the air conditioning, but didn’t drive off yet. He reached for the suit jacket Portia had used to cover herself earlier. He purposely lowered the temperature to make the car uncomfortably cold, all so he could act like a gentleman and earn her favor. What drove him to pick up his own jacket and sniff it? The faint, sweet scent of the young woman still lingered on the fabric, mingling with his own cologne. He pulled the jacket close to his nose, inhaling deeply before tossing it back into place and steering the car out of the parking lot.​……​Nicholas Winters was the heir to a major national export business specializing in drinking water and processed food products. He had earned his doctorate from a top-tier university abroad and completed his internship there at the age of thirty-two. He had only recently returned to the country because his family was ready for him to take over the family business.​“I don’t r

Portia watched the man walking to the counter to handle the bill with a strange feeling in her heart. Normally, she hardly lets any man get close to her, except for friends from her university days. But with Nicholas, his friendly manner and politeness made her give in time and time again. She braided her hair loosely to the side while waiting. Not long after, he walked toward her with a wide smile. The two of them walked out of the spa together.​“Actually, you could just leave your car here, Portia. We can take my car and go together.” Nicholas suggested that they stop at his car.​“I’d better not, Nicholas. I’ll drive behind you. I don’t want to waste time coming back here later,” she replied.​“Alright then. What a shame,” he said. He hoped to share a car with her and couldn't quite hide his disappointment. This made Portia feel shy. She gave him a small smile before getting into her own car.​‘You’re quite cruel, aren’t you, beautiful?’​Nicholas stopped smiling the moment sh
