The CEO's Forbidden Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 36

Jeff and Thirdie had long left the balcony, yet Kathalina still hadn’t gone inside to sleep. She remained standing there, wrapped in the cold breeze, her arms folded lightly against her chest as though to steady the rhythm of her racing heart. The night was quiet except for the faint rustle of the trees and the distant hum of crickets, and before her stretched the vast fields still, endless, almost dreamlike.Again and again, Thirdie’s words echoed in her mind. There was joy in her chest, a fragile warmth that made her lips curve unconsciously into a smile but also fear……fear that it might just be a beautiful dream. Fear that the moment she woke up, everything would vanish into mist.But no. This wasn’t a dream. She could feel the truth in every gesture, in the way Thirdie’s eyes had lingered on hers, in the tone of his voice that had shed its usual distance.

The sun was setting, painting the sky orange and purple. The villa glowed warmly in the fading light, while the quiet sounds of the farm surrounded them like the last lullaby.Kathalina stood by the doorway, holding her small overnight bag close to her chest. Her eyes wandered over the place she had grown to love in just a few days. She hadn’t expected to find so much peace here, so much comfort she didn’t know she was missing.And somehow, this farm felt like more than just a quiet refuge, it felt like the beginning of something new.

This land, with its warmth and simplicity, would forever mark the start of their story.Thirdie came up beside her, his hand brushing lightly against her arm.“Ready?” he asked.She glanced at him, then at the fields where the farmers were finishing their work.“As ready
