All Chapters of You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding?: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

But because Liz had moved so quickly, a photo slipped out of the album and fell to the floor.Of all things, it was the one of her in a frilly pink princess dress, flashing a peace sign at the camera.Liz glanced down at it, ready to grab it, when William’s hand reached it before she could.She immediately reached for it, but William pulled his hand back just out of reach.“William, give it back!” Liz demanded.Of all the pictures, he had to see this one? It was pure social death.He looked down at the photo and chuckled. “It’s cute. Why didn’t you want me to see it?”“Cute?” Liz stared at him in disbelief. Was he seriously using that word? Did he have no idea what cute actually meant?That picture was the worst of her worst blackmail material.“Yeah,” he said easily. “Really cute.”His eyes lowered, catching sight of her mismatched slippers—only one on her foot. His gaze flickered as he stepped closer, handing the photo back to her.Liz snatched it and shoved it into the al

William nodded. “Yes, Mrs. Smith Sr., I do have a small request.”When Liz walked out of the kitchen with the watermelon, she found William and Mrs. Smith Sr. chatting in the living room.She set the plate down on the coffee table. “William, have some watermelon.”“Thanks.”After finishing the fruit, William stood. “Mrs. Smith Sr., it’s getting late. I should be heading out. Thank you for having me today.”Mrs. Smith Sr. Sr. smiled warmly. “Of course. You’re welcome anytime. Drop by whenever you’re free.”“Alright.”“Liz, walk Dr. Sanders out.”“Okay. Grandma, you should rest.”Liz followed William in silence until they reached the front door.Just as he was about to get into his car, she finally broke. “William, didn’t you say you’d talk to my grandma about letting me move back to Crestwood Heights? You didn’t bring it up once at dinner.”She had been counting on Mrs. Smith Sr. softening because of William. Now it felt hopeless.The corner of William’s mouth lifted. “I alr

If they couldn’t track down where Jessica’s ex-boyfriend had hidden the money, the case would be almost impossible to win.After studying the files for several hours, Liz was about to take a break when her phone rang. Seeing Jane’s name flash across the screen, she swiped to answer.“Jane, what’s going on?”“Liz, I was just out shopping and saw Xena’s apology video. Honestly, it felt so good to watch.”Liz lowered her gaze. “Mm. That was my demand.”“She actually agreed to it?!” Jane’s voice was full of disbelief.“Compared to going to prison, she’d probably rather apologize publicly.”“That’s true. But just thinking about that bitch marrying Zac soon makes me sick.”A homewrecker who had destroyed someone else’s relationship was now securing her place because of the baby she was carrying. The thought of it was infuriating.She had also heard from Jack that Zac’s tech company had been doing extremely well over the past few years, and its market value was expected to multiply s

The elegant woman shot Hunter an exasperated look. “I was just about to meet her, but you ruined it. The two million dollars I had ready to give her went to waste. What a pity.”Hunter groaned. “Mom, you need to stop reading so many romance novels. If you’re that bored, get yourself a job.”“I don’t need a job. Your father takes care of me just fine. And don’t think you can stop me forever. Even if you kept me from meeting her today, I’ll find another chance. You can guard her for a while, but you can’t stay glued to her side every minute of every day.”She had come to Stanley City for one reason—to meet Liz. There was no way she would leave empty-handed.Hunter let out a helpless sigh. “Trust me, she’s not interested in me.”From the way Liz was around William, Hunter could see the truth. Whenever she looked at him, her eyes lit up with a quiet joy and intensity, the unmistakable gaze of someone drawn to the person they cared about. Sometimes, if their eyes met for too long, she

“Alright.”“In time.” Those words were so beautiful that the more she thought about them, the more she found herself looking forward to what they promised.Halfway through dinner, the doorbell suddenly rang.William got up and went to the entryway. The moment he opened the door, Riley’s cheerful voice floated inside.“William, your place is impossible to find! I must have taken the wrong turn half a dozen times before finally figuring it out.”Liz’s fingers tightened slightly around her fork. She remembered Riley’s easy smile the last time they had sat together in that private dining room. Now, hearing the natural warmth in her voice, Liz could sense it again. Everything about Riley spoke of familiarity and closeness.She told herself she shouldn’t care. Having female friends was perfectly normal.Besides, Hunter had already mentioned that Riley grew up with them. William was around their age too.Even so, Liz lowered her gaze and pressed down the faint ache rising in her chest
