บททั้งหมดของ After Divorce, I Became The Ex-husband's True Love: บทที่ 141 - บทที่ 150

Bellatrix didn't return to the company after her visit to Ave.It had been days since she last saw her father. So instead, she made a detour, heading to the Lancaster Residence, where she found Elise pushing him in the garden on a wheelchair.The moment the elderly woman spotted her, her eyes went wide, brightening with the type of delight that warmed Bellatrix's heart and momentarily made her forget all her troubles."Young mistress!" She exclaimed, opening her arms for a hug.Bellatrix gladly went in for a hug. It lasted for a few seconds before she pulled back and turned her attention to her father.Briefly, she examined his condition and a smile tugged at the corners of her lips.Although he was still using an oxygen mask and still looked weak, there was color on his cheeks and a small sparkle in his eyes. He was clearly getting better."Dad," she said softly, positioning herself in front of him. "How are you feeling today?"Joe didn't respond as usual. But he didn't need to, Bell

After what felt like an eternity—and of course, a good rest—Bellatrix's eyes finally fluttered open.The first thing that came into view was the batch of peonies blooming far away. The sight of them brought a strange calm to Bellatrix's heart and she smiled softly.That smile however, crumbles the moment her gaze drifted to the other side. Frowning, she barely held back the flinch that came from seeing Cillian seated on the chair opposite her.When did he get here? She wondered as she sat up, fixing her hair and dress and keeping her eyes on Cillian all the while.He took watched her. He didn't say anything. Didn't need to, the silence spoke more volume than words possible could. And even if there was a need to speak, Cillian didn't want to, because he knew the moment either of them spoke, this silence—the silence he'd always ran away from, but now, found some kind of strange peace in—would dissipate like smoke in air.So he just stared, watching as she fixed her appearance, a frown e

Bellatrix didn't sleep last night. Between the pile of work she had to get done and the numbers flashing across her digital clock, a countdown till the time she'd given Cillian, she had no time to close her eyes and get some shut eye.She didn't even notice the sun coming up and only after hearing the faint noise from outside her room, did she finally decide to leave her seat.Her back felt sore and her eyes were heavy, but nonetheless, Bellatrix got up, stretched and headed into the bathroom. Less than an hour later, she stepped out and threw on her dress, glancing at the clock every now and then while she did so.8:34 am, the numbers glared back.Sighing, Bellatrix finished fixing her hair. Taking one last look in the mirror, she gave herself a quick pep talk. It was only going to be for a short while, as soon as she was done paying her respects, she'd leave.With that thought in mind, she stepped out of her room and headed downstairs. However, the moment she reached the last stairs

Cillian woke up first.The car had stopped moving, packed unbothered in the courtyard of the Laurent estate. Beside him, Bellatrix still has her head on his shoulder, sleeping peacefully, blissfully unaware of the position she was in.In the front, the new driver, someone Cillian had hired to fill in the role for Kane once the assistant complained that his job was getting too much, sat still, staring at nothing in particular.Cillian blinked a couple of times, then exhaled gently, careful enough to not wake Bellatrix up. His eyes closed for a second and when he opened them again, he noticed the absence of the headache that always plagued him each time he woke up from a nap.His body also felt lighter, like he'd actually slept, rather than just lying in one spot for hours, waiting for the sun to rise before he'd get out of bed and carry on with his daily routine like some sort of robot.In one word, he felt refreshed. And it was all because he slept beside Bellatrix?Glancing back at h

Regina stormed into her office and slammed the door shut. The poor thing rattled at its hinges, suffering the consequences of her anger.But she paid no mind to it, too engrossed in her own thoughts and turning red with anger. The scene from the conference room replayed in her mind and she found herself biting on her lower lip so hard that she nearly tasted blood.Bellatrix, that bitch, she wore, she really was forgetting her place. She was crossing lines she wasn't meant to all because she has Damien and Cillian backing her.How dare she talk to her like that? Was she forgetting that she's the one who has the higher shares here? That she was the one who had Cillian wrapped around her fingers?How dare she allow the small power she got to get to her head?!"And what's got you so riled up?"Regina flinched at the voice. Spinning around, she saw Mary seated on the couch, a cup of tea in her hand and company files in the other.She looked awfully comfortable."Don't tell me you've done s
