All Chapters of No Longer Theirs: The One They Can't Replace: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

Jessica froze, as if struck to stone. "J-Josh? What did you say?""Jessica, you're important to me. Anything you ask that I can fulfill, I'll do my best to fulfill it." Joshua broke off with a light, dry cough. His chest felt constricted—a sharp tightness that could have been the lingering smoke or the rare flicker of genuine emotion. "But this hairpin has a special meaning. After thinking it over, I realize it's inappropriate to give it to anyone but my wife. I was careless before, and I apologize. But I still need you to return it."Jessica's head spun. A cold tremor raced through her as her vision feathered into darkness and the color drained from her face. She wasn't sick, but Joshua was pushing her to the breaking point. "B-But Josh, this was your gift… I really like it…""I'm sorry." Joshua's gaze darkened. He stared at the hairpin in her bun, but his mind involuntarily pictured Winter's hairstyle. "In the future, if there's anything you want—no matter how hard to get or exp

Ezekiel said, "I know."At the dinner table, laughter rang out. Elijah, at his core a natural jokester, said something outrageous, sending Winter and George into fits of giggles.Ezekiel took the opportunity, quietly slipping into the dim hallway to take Joshua's call.The sound of laughter drifted into Joshua's ears, mingled with Winter's light, unmistakable laugh.In five years of marriage, he had never heard her so carefree and joyful. It almost didn't feel like the same Winter.Joshua's breath caught. His hands clenched into fists, veins pulsing. With Ezekiel, Winter seemed at ease and content.She was the one who had sworn she loved him. And she was also the one abandoning her marriage, turning toward another man without hesitation. How could someone's feelings change so easily?All his life, things had gone his way. Desire, power, victory—he had never been denied. What he couldn't bear was losing what had once belonged to him, especially not watching her love drift toward

Winter froze. She couldn't make sense of it—Ezekiel and Elijah had never crossed paths before. What could they possibly have to discuss?Elijah collected his thoughts and flashed a smile. "Say what you need to say, Mr. Fulton."Setting down his glass and running his finger along the rim, Ezekiel said, "I caught Tom at a casino in Antalas, but I didn't hand him over to the police immediately. I interrogated him myself first."I asked why he suddenly decided to take revenge on Ms. Everhart. He said someone was guiding him from behind the scenes."Elijah looked confused. "Someone guiding him? Like… a spirit?"Winter nearly choked on her water, covering her mouth as she coughed. Only Elijah would ask something like that at a time like this.However, Ezekiel was deadly serious. His handsome features were sharp as ever. "A tall, thin man wearing a huge white mask and thick black glasses—probably a doctor—personally went to Antalas to meet Tom and handed him something."With that, he c

Elijah was the first to burst through the door. Burning with rage, he strode straight up to Joshua. "Joshua, how dare you come to see Win?"Staring into Joshua's dark, piercing eyes, Elijah let out a cold laugh. "Damn, your audacity certainly knows no bounds! If you armed yourself with it, nothing could stand against you!"Joshua's intense gaze remained fixed on Elijah's furious face. "What are you doing here?"Elijah smirked. "Mr. Fulton asked me to come. Are you jealous?"Joshua's jaw tightened, and he silently curled his hand into a fist.Not only had Ezekiel brought Winter into his house, but he had even invited Elijah—whose intentions toward Winter were far from innocent.What exactly was he trying to achieve?Was he trying to gather everyone who had feelings for Winter and make them compete for her?Joshua let out a bitter laugh. "And what exactly am I supposed to be jealous of? That you covet a married woman and disregard all decency, or that you have the audacity to do

Joshua felt as though a knife had pierced his chest.As long as he hadn't called it off, Winter had no authority to end their marriage."Winter, do you really think you can cut me out of your life completely?"His eyes burned red as he exhaled sharply."Terry stands between us. Even if you divorce me, it doesn't change the fact that you're his mother! Blood ties are unbreakable!"The woman who had once overflowed with love for Terence now looked at him with eyes as dry and empty as a parched well."The bond of blood may be unbreakable, but the love between mother and child can fade." Winter's voice carried the chill of frozen steel. "Do you remember when Terence forgot my birthday and celebrated Jessica's instead? The instant he handed her the bracelet he made and kissed her on the cheek, he stopped being my son."Joshua's expression froze, his fingers clenching into his palm.A memory suddenly surfaced. This year, Jessica had celebrated her birthday at Rippleview Court with Jo
