His Second Husband のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 161 - チャプター 170

Silas’s povI shot him a dangerous look, as I didn’t see the reason for him trying to ask questions that he was not supposed to know. I went back to trying to make up my drink as he smiled.“Are you sure you’re making that well?”I looked up at him. “Well, I had someone over. He made me drinks, and I enjoyed it, so I’m just trying to recreate what I’m seeing here.”He nodded. “So you hooked up with the person making your drinks? You hooked up with the bartender?”I shrugged. “Does it matter who I hooked up with? As long as the person that I was with made me okay, I think I’m good.”He laughed. “Well, whatever makes you happy. So, I’m here, and I want you to focus on me and maybe leave the drink making for a while.”I stopped shaking the bottle that I had used in mixing the drink as I looked up at him, my face like a dry pan. I shook my head, then went back to shaking the drink.He stood there patiently, waiting for me to finish, as I poured the drink. But instead of the drink giving m

Julian’s povI opened my mouth to explain things to her, but she wasn’t going to give me the liberty to.“I understand that you and Carlos have something going for the both of you, but I have to make you understand that I cannot stay in a house where I am not appreciated, where my words are being taken as mere farce, where you don’t even look at me as your mother.”“But I do,” I said.I held her hands in mine, rubbing the back. I could see the veins on it. She wasn’t that old, but due to her life working hard in the mills and so many other places to make ends meet, she still had the veins there. Even with the money that I had been showering on her for months, it wasn’t like every part of her life was going to magically disappear.She pulled her hands away from me.“I have to pack.”I scoffed, spreading my arms around to look at the mess made in the room. “And where are you going to go?”She shrugged. “I made an appointment at midnight, and I’ll be staying in the hotel for a few days u

Carlos’s povI got out of Jules’ house and entered my car. I stayed in there for a while, staring into space as I could feel my anger rising to high ends. All my plans to destabilize him and put myself as the only person who he would trust was coming apart. Why would he even want to get that damn butler? It had taken me weeks to come up with my plan to destroy the butler’s reputation, and suddenly he wanted to bring the butler back.I gave a small sigh, then put my head on my steering wheel before struggling with it and then leaning against a headrest. Thinking of the plan I had brought out last night, it was a very risky one, but at the end of the day it had been worth it. I had brought up a genius plan to frame the butler, and it had been in a smooth way that no one would even think of searching me.I had come to dinner and placed the nail conveniently in my mouth, and while chewing I made sure to not swallow the nail or puncture it on time. I waited for the right time, and then whe

Julian’s povI stayed in my car, tapping on the steering wheel as I looked out of the window, ready to go out and join the butler in his apartment. He was living in a nice neighborhood. It wasn’t a bad one. I could see the chances of me living here very high because it was safe, it had street signs, there was no one smoking on the streets, much like my former neighborhood before I met Silas.I opened the door and got out, rounding the car to walk up to the house that was sitting in a very nice place. I knocked on the door and waited for a while. I heard someone speaking in the background as the door opened. I saw my butler in a black shirt and tie with black trousers, like he was going somewhere. He stared at me.“Oh, sir,” he said, brows raised. “What can I do for you? I knew I should have written how much I was being owed for the month, but I haven’t come around that. I have to go to a funeral.”“Another bad timing, I guess.”He gave me a smile. “Yes. Can we do this another day? Tod

Julian’s povI scoffed. “Youre calling this place toxic, huh?”He nodded. “Yes, I am, sir. It is very toxic. As much as I really want to work with you, I can’t. Not with everything that is on the line. Now I wish you the best in life, but I will have to decline all your offers for me to come back.”My mom then stepped in. “How about you listen to me? Just ignore whatever my son has done to you, Lewis. I’m here. Just help me get back into my fighting shape again. You’ve been the ray of sunshine I’ve been having here. You’ve been helping me do things that I would need from a friend, a partner, and everything included. Please just come back and work for us. If I’m being honest, you’re my best friend here.”She was trying to smoothen things out.Lewis smiled and looked at me before looking at my mom. “I could stay because of your mom, but I have to know if Mr. Carlos is going to be living here.”I thought about it for a while. I needed Carlos to live with me. “So does that mean that after
