All Chapters of The Substitute Twin Bride: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Matteo’s heartbeat raced faster as he arrived at the hotel. Without wasting another second, he rushed into the lobby and went straight to the front desk. There was something he needed to make sure of.“Has my wife returned?” Matteo asked.The receptionist nodded. “Yes, sir. Not long ago, I believe, although I do not remember the exact time.”There was no way Romilda could have returned to the hotel that quickly, not when Matteo had still been with her at the wedding gazebo. It was obvious that Romilda had gone back to the Cavanaugh residence after Rose left.Matteo hurried up to the upper floor, the surge of anger inside him now impossible to contain. He unlocked the penthouse with his key card and immediately headed for Romilda’s bedroom. When he pushed the door open, he saw Romilda had just finished showering.Romilda narrowed her eyes. “Do you not know how to knock?” she asked sarcastically.Matteo froze for a moment. When he was about to confront Romilda with his pent-up rage, he

Rose woke up feeling lighter; her condition already much improved. She startled when she realized Aaron was sleeping with his back turned toward her. The night before, after that sweet kiss, Aaron had lain down beside her and held her tightly. Nothing had happened between them, just a warm embrace until they both fell asleep again.Aaron’s respectful behavior deeply moved Rose. He had proven his words true: that he would never take advantage of her.Carefully, Rose slipped out of bed and walked to the pantry to prepare hot water. She made two cups of coffee, knowing exactly how Aaron liked his. When the aroma of coffee filled the room, Aaron slowly opened his eyes.He jolted upright when he saw Rose preparing coffee at the table. He hurried out of bed and walked over to her.“You’re still sick!” Aaron clicked his tongue as he touched Rose’s forehead. But the fever was gone. “You should be resting,” he added.Rose smiled softly. “I’m fine, Aaron.”“Yeah, you can say that now. Yesterday

Returning home brought Suzannah new news: Aaron and Rose were officially engaged. No longer a pretense, as Aaron had once explained to his mother, but a real engagement. Suzannah was clearly surprised, yet she gave her blessing wholeheartedly.“This is wonderful news,” Suzannah said as she pulled Rose into a warm embrace. “At last, I will have a daughter.”Rose only offered a small, restrained smile and said nothing. In truth, she still felt awkward and unaccustomed to being Aaron’s fiancée, especially now that it was no longer an act. There was something else weighing heavily on her heart: her lack of absolute certainty.Rose had accepted Aaron’s proposal not out of pity, but not out of love either. She accepted it out of respect and gratitude. Everything Aaron had done for her made Rose feel indebted.She knew that way of thinking was flawed. Still, Rose clung to Aaron’s words: if she never tried to learn how to love him, she might never feel anything at all. Who knew? Perhaps one d

The limousine slowly came to a stop in front of the Cavanaugh family residence. Paris stepped out of the car, adjusted her hair, and walked casually toward the entrance. Two maids were already waiting at the doorway, carrying out Nicole’s instructions to welcome her.“Welcome, Miss Paris,” the two maids greeted her politely.Paris merely nodded with practiced elegance, though a trace of arrogance showed on her face. Still, that was simply how the wealthy often appeared. Even without intending to be arrogant, their expressions naturally conveyed a different status and exclusivity.The maids escorted Paris into the living room, where refreshments had already been laid out.“Wow, Nicole really prepared all this. Impressive,” Paris praised.“Miss Nicole will be coming down in a minute,” one of the maids said.They excused themselves, leaving Paris alone as she leisurely looked around the room. Her steps stopped in front of a mirror. Paris adjusted her hair again and checked her makeup. As

Rose was restless all day, doing her best to suppress it behind a calm demeanor. She attended several meetings with Aaron, all of which went smoothly. But when they finally returned home for dinner, her confusion only deepened.In the dining room, Rose’s phone vibrated. The conversation at the table briefly paused as Aaron and Suzannah, who had been chatting warmly, turned to look at her. Rose quickly took her phone from her bag and placed it on her lap.“I’m sorry,” Rose said.“Which company is still contacting you this late?” Aaron replied. “Let me warn them myself. Don’t they realize our working hours are eight to five?”Rose offered a small smile. “It’s one of the employees preparing a proposal, sir. I asked for some help,” she said quickly, making an excuse.Suzannah gave Rose a concerned look, then turned to Aaron, her eyes clearly displeased. She clicked her tongue softly after wiping the corner of her lips.“You need to find someone else to assist you, Aaron. You can’t keep as
