The Substitute Twin Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Rose placed the file on Aaron’s desk, and a smile spread across his face. He seemed very satisfied with her performance, which had exceeded his expectations. Rose never complained, worked efficiently, and was easy to discuss matters with.Aaron wondered why Rose had left his company before. With a work ethic like hers, she could have easily climbed the career ladder. He also realized that he didn’t know much about Rose personally. All their interactions had been strictly work-related. In six months, there wasn’t much about her that he knew.“Hey, Rose, do you have any plans tonight?” Aaron asked.It was Friday, and usually, Rose either went straight home to be with Suzannah or remained gentle in demeanor. Thinking about it, Rose’s routine was simple: come to the office, work, and go home.“Are we working late, sir?” Rose asked in return.Aaron shook his head. “We’ve been through six tough months. Now it’s time to take it easy. All the projects are running smoothly. I think I’ll celebr

"Pull over the car right now because we need to talk!"The demanding, authoritative tone in Rose’s voice was unlike anything Aaron had ever heard before. Surprise flickered across his face, but he quickly covered it with his usual casual demeanor, acting as if her words were unimportant.Seeing Rose like this—so fierce, so alive—was something Aaron could hardly believe. The woman who never showed emotion and was always calm, composed, and almost robotic now looked completely different. Rose was frightening when angry, but to Aaron, that made her even more captivating.“Relax, Rose,” Aaron said, trying to ease the tension."How can I relax?" Rose clenched her fists in her lap. "You have no idea what you've done! You have gone too far, Mr. Aaron!”This time, Aaron knew he couldn't tame Rose. She was on the verge of exploding. Finally, the man pulled the car over in front of a small park surrounded by two-story buildings. As soon as the vehicle stopped, Rose got out immediately, inhaling

Rose was uneasy about agreeing to Aaron’s request. There was nothing she could do but nod and surrender. She started thinking about moving out and finding a place of her own, but her sense of obligation held her back. Maybe it would be better if Suzannah and Aaron just asked her to leave.With a heavy heart, Rose stepped through the office doors. At least no one else was supposed to know—only Rose, Aaron, Suzannah, Paris, and her parents. She would pretend to be Aaron’s girlfriend until Paris’s parents stopped caring about the broken engagement. Then it would all be over. It sounded simple, but Rose didn’t know how long she could live this lie.“So it’s true? Her?”"She stole the boss’s heart. Oh my God.”“Poor Miss Paris.”Rose halted her steps toward the elevator when she heard the whispers of passing employees. Her eyes darted around, and she noticed that all their gazes fell on her.Wasn’t anyone supposed to know? Something had gone terribly wrong. Everything was out of control, a

The car entered through the gate as the security guard opened it. When she stepped out of the car, Rose froze for a moment. The grand mansion before her made her tremble slightly. She knew the Paris family wasn’t just any family—neither was Aaron. Still, seeing the enormous and luxurious Paris residence sent chills down her spine.Would talking things out peacefully really solve anything when Aaron had humiliated the Paris family’s pride so badly? Rose tried to stay positive.When they reached the front door, they were greeted by a butler with a cold, expressionless face. Aaron said he wanted to speak with Paris’s parents, but the butler’s response was utterly shocking.“You don’t have an appointment with the master, sir. I suggest you contact them first,” the butler said politely, but his words stung.Aaron frowned. “But they’re home, right?”“They may be home, sir, but that doesn’t mean they’re available to receive guests whenever they please.”Aaron realized he was no longer welc

The valet opened the car door, and Matteo and Nicole stepped out, followed by Paris' parents. It felt strange—four of them getting out of the same car when Paris herself wasn't attending.Matteo felt an awkward moment settle in. He should have come with Nicole only, not with Paris's parents. Upper-class people would start speculating about the two families, even though nothing was going on.Once inside the hall, Matteo and Nicole parted ways with Paris's parents. People were mingling, chatting, and greeting one another. Many of them already knew each other. Matteo, however, felt out of place.Nicole moved straight toward the table where small pastries were served. She grabbed a glass of champagne and happily nibbled on the treats. Matteo stared at her in disbelief."The gala hasn't even started, and you're already eating?" Matteo shook his head."It's my period, and I'm always hungry," Nicole whispered.Matteo sighed and accepted it. He glanced around, taking in the guests in their ex
