Lahat ng Kabanata ng HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT: Kabanata 351 - Kabanata 360

Chapter 351Nathan didn’t feel shocked, he must have felt it already.“You must be thinking that why am I asking for your permission, right?”“Exactly……. Am not her dad.”“You aren't…….. But you are a father figure in her life. Her parents and only brother died at such a young age living her all by herself. So right now, i can only ask you.”“Hmmmmm………. Alright then, Liam. If it was the previous Liam, I would be the first to object but you have proved your self to be capable ever since you came into our lives again.”“So……. Liam you have my permission…… But make sure you keep her happy always.”“Thank you so much brother, I will do all I can to ensure my woman is always happy.” Liam said hugging Nathan and almost fell him down.…………………….Winter arrived quietly………. But when it settled over the mansion, it transformed everything.The once warm tones of autumn gave way to silver frost and soft white mornings. The air carried a crispness that made every breath feel sharper, cleaner. nd in

Chapter 353 Liam reached into his pocket. The room seemed to hold its breath. And then………. He dropped to one knee. Ava gasped softly, her hands flying to her mouth. The ring caught the candlelight, sparkling with quiet brilliance. “Ava,” he said, his voice steady now, “will you marry me?” Time seemed to pause. No one moved. No one spoke. Ava just………… she just stared at him. Her eyes wide. Tears falling freely now. For a moment… she said nothing. And in that moment, I saw it…….. Fear……. Hope…….. Love……. All colliding inside her. Then she laughed softly through her tears. “You really chose Christmas?” Liam smiled faintly. “I wanted it to be unforgettable.” She shook her head slightly, overwhelmed. “You’re insane.” “Is that a yes?” Ava didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she stepped forward. And then……… “Yes.” The word was soft. But it echoed through the entire room. “Yes, Liam.” The silence shattered. Cheers erupted. Applause filled the room. Carmen

Chapter 355 A slow smile spread across his face. “That’s my baby.” “Our baby,” I corrected gently. His eyes lifted back to mine. “Our baby.” The words settled deeply between us. It felt so real, and looked so beautiful. Nathan leaned down, pressing his forehead lightly against mine. “What do you think they’ll be like?” he asked quietly. I smiled faintly. “Hopefully calmer than you.” He scoffed. “I’m serious.” “So am I.” He rolled his eyes but laughed softly. Then his expression turned thoughtful again. “I think they’ll have your eyes.” “And your stubbornness.” “Absolutely not.” “Oh, absolutely yes.” He kissed me before I could continue arguing. The kiss was slow, and warm. This was my world now. A slow, warm kiss that eased all my worries. When he pulled back, his hand remained protectively over my stomach. “I just want them healthy,” he admitted quietly. The vulnerability in his voice made my chest ache. “I know.” “I don’t care about anything else.” I res

Chapter 357“The baby is very premature,” the doctor continued carefully. “If delivery happens tonight, there may be complications.”“What kind of complications?” Lucian demanded.The doctor hesitated briefly.“Breathing issues……… Infection risks………….. Developmental concerns………..”After the doctor listed all these complications, everyone became silent.The area was as silent as a graveyard. We were all shocked and afraid of what might happen to the mother and child.I am a doctor, so I can perfectly relate to everything the doctor is saying………Lucian looked like someone had ripped the air from his lungs.“Can I see her?”The doctor nodded once.“Briefly.”Lucian disappeared immediately.The rest of us sat back down numbly.I couldn’t breathe properly.Nathan noticed instantly.“Elena.”“What if…………”“Hey.”His hand cupped my face gently.“Don’t.”But I couldn’t stop.I couldn’t stop imagining myself in Carmen’s place……………….I couldn’t stop imagining our child too small to survive……

Chapter 359I barely slept.Maybe twenty minutes.Maybe less.Time inside hospitals felt strange.Hours stretched into years.Minutes disappeared completely.Morning sunlight filtered weakly through the large windows, casting pale colors across the hallway floors.Everything felt too quiet.Too fragile.Like even breathing too loudly could break something.Nathan had finally convinced me to lean against his shoulder.Not sleeping, just resting.But my eyes never left the NICU doors.Not once.Carmen sat curled beside Lucian now. Her face looked drained of color. Exhaustion clung to her like a parasite.Lucian still hadn't moved.Still hadn't left.He just stood beside the glass watching his son…….. He didn’t take his sight off Luca for once.He watched his little Luca fight.Machines beeped softly.Steady…………. And Slow…………….Almost rhythmic.It almost felt comforting knowing that we have a fighter in there but the fact remains that Luca is still in a critical state.Suddenly……………..Fo
