HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT의 모든 챕터: 챕터 391 - 챕터 400

Chapter 392She looked up when she noticed me.Then smiled softly."Morning, my angel.""Morning mom."I sat beside her slowly.Very slowly.Because if I moved too quickly now, my spine threatened violence.Mom immediately noticed.Her eyes widened."Elena..."I looked over."...hmmm?""You walk differently now."Silence.I stared.Then looked down at my stomach.Then back at her."...Mom."She blinked innocently."...yes?""I am carrying an entire human."She laughed softly.Then her expression softened.She looked at me quietly."...I missed this."My smile faded slightly.Not because it hurt.Because I understood immediately.She wasn't talking about pregnancy.Not really.She was talking about time.About being a mother.About seeing me grow.Seeing me become this woman.She stared into her tea."...I missed your first day of school."Silence."...your birthdays."More silence."...your graduation."My chest tightened.Mom smiled weakly."I missed everything."I reached over and h

Chapter 394“He was holding approximately twenty bags………… Twenty Damn Bags……..”“Are you for real………….. Now I can see where Nathan got his over shopping spirit from…. You must have been moving around with Lucian lately, yhhhhh and all the while Lucian acted all innocent like he knew nothing about what was going onn……..”Nathan couldn’t even defend himself. He opened his mouth to talk but closed if back immediately. I asked him, “why are you carrying a supermarket? he looked serious….Dead serious and said…"For Luca."Silence.I blinked."...Lucian.""Yes?""Luca is two months old."Lucian nodded."I know."More silence.I looked at the bags.Formula.Baby wipes.Blankets.Baby toys.Tiny shoes.Medicine.Bottles.I slowly looked back at him."...are you preparing for an apocalypse?"Lucian stared back."...I'm preparing for parenthood. So Elena as you can see that is what I am facing.”Nathan nodded immediately.Immediately.Traitor.Absolute traitor.I closed my eyes.Oh God.There

Chapter 396Over the next few days, preparations for the baby's arrival quietly took over the house.Not because Nathan forced them.Everyone did.Mom had started folding tiny clothes every morning with almost ridiculous concentration.Carmen came over with parenting advice she claimed was "important," though half of it sounded suspicious.Liam and Matthew somehow kept appearing with random gifts.No one trusted Liam's choices anymore after he arrived carrying a stuffed giraffe almost taller than Luca.Apparently he thought bigger meant better.But Liam thought wrong.I had reached the stage of pregnancy where walking upstairs felt like climbing a mountain.Sleeping had become a negotiation with pillows.Turning over in bed required planning.Bending down had officially become impossible.Nathan noticed every single thing.One evening I dropped my hair tie beside the couch.I stared at it.The hair tie stared back.Nathan walked into the room carrying a glass of juice and immediately

Chapter 398Nathan narrowed his eyes.Then pointed at Lucian."I suddenly remembered Lucian loves building furniture."Lucian looked horrified."Since when?"Nathan smiled."Since today."The argument started immediately.Mom laughed.Carmen laughed.Matthew joined the chaos.And sitting in the middle of all of it, I suddenly realized something.This family had become loud.Messy and ridiculous.And somewhere along the way...It had become mine.The nursery project took over the house during the following days.Nathan handled it with the seriousness of a man preparing for a military operation.Schedules appeared.Measurements appeared.Lists appeared.Somewhere along the way he even created folders on his laptop.Yes…….. Foldersssss…. You heard that right. Not one, not two but so many folders…….I discovered this after walking into his office one evening.He sat behind his desk staring at the screen with complete concentration.I moved closer and glanced over his shoulder.Then blinke

Chapter 400A few days later, the nursery was finally finished.The walls carried soft shades of yellow and white, warm light filled the room during the afternoons, and Liam's crooked stars still remained in one corner.Nathan claimed he left them there because they had become "part of the story."Liam claimed his artistic genius had been recognized.Nobody agreed with him.I stood near the doorway that afternoon looking around quietly.The crib sat beside the window.Books rested neatly on shelves.Tiny clothes had been folded and arranged with
