Semua Bab You Wed Your Past; I Wed My Future: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Stephanie looked at Adrian, whose brows were slightly furrowed. The warm light seemed to have softened the usual aloofness in his expression. Strangely, she picked up on an almost imperceptible hint of hurt."I'm sorry," she said slightly sheepishly. "I was thinking about work just now."Adrian looked her in the eye and said, "Ms. Ford, you should remember to let yourself relax when you're not working."Stephanie paused. It suddenly hit her that even though she was clearly off work right now, she couldn't resist thinking about work anyway.It was partly due to her nature. She had always had a strong sense of responsibility. But part of it was a habit that had been nurtured over the last five years.Back when she was still with Grover Group, she would always push herself to do as much as possible to help Tyler achieve even more success.It wasn't uncommon for her to work till midnight. Whenever she curled up at her desk, her gastritis killing her, Tyler would simply tell his assis

Smiling, Adrian said reassuringly, "You're not to blame. It's my fault for not making things clear to you."When he saw that Stephanie was aware of the marriage alliance between their families, he'd assumed she knew he was the one she was set to marry. He didn't expect her to mistake someone else as her future husband instead.But at the end of the day, none of this mattered anymore. After all, she knew the truth now.At this moment, the most pressing issue was Andrew.Adrian's eyes dimmed slightly when he recalled the teaser poster Andrew released for his exhibition. He'd seen it even when he was abroad.That, combined with the way Andrew acted earlier, made Adrian suspect that Andrew had feelings for Stephanie.When did those feelings start?Despite having already considered a multitude of possibilities, Adrian kept his expression calm. No matter what happened, he wasn't going to let Stephanie worry about this situation between him and Andrew."It's getting late. I'll take yo

Kiara never thought she could actually get pregnant."There. It should be cool enough now," Tyler said as he carefully brought the spoonful of chicken soup up to her lips again.After finishing a small bowl of soup, Kiara nestled against Tyler before gently stroking her belly."Ty, do you want a boy or a girl?""Either is fine with me," Tyler said with a smile. "No matter if it's a boy or a girl, the baby will be our little pride and joy.""By the way, have you told Mom about this?" Kiara asked. "She's been hankering for a grandchild for ages now. I'm sure she'll be thrilled when she finds out about it."After some hesitation, Tyler replied, "Let's not tell her about it."Martha had gone back to Grover Manor, so she didn't know about Kiara's pregnancy."Why not?" Kiara shot up and eyed him suspiciously. "Are you trying to hide my pregnancy from Mom, or is it because you don't want her to know it's your baby?""Mom's health has been frail all along," Tyler said before rubbing h

"I saw Stephanie in Jetterpolis!" Dustin answered. "I'm here on business, and I ran into her at a restaurant just now. She was with a gorgeous-looking woman."A woman?Tyler's lips curled a little, his mood lifting."I heard that you two broke up, Tyler. Is that true? She even said I got the wrong person just now," Dustin said."We haven't broken up. Don't listen to those ridiculous rumors."Tyler tossed the orange peel into the trash can before ending the call at once. Then, he held out the pieces of orange to Kiara.However, instead of taking them, she stared at him and said snarkily, "So Ms. Ford has run off to Jetterpolis, huh? How convenient. You'll be able to see her when you go to Jetterpolis in a few days."Then, with a look of realization, she exclaimed, "See? I told you she must've gone to Jetterpolis to meet up with that artist, but you didn't believe me!"Tyler's muscles bulged, and the smell of orange filled the air. He tossed the mangled pieces of orange into the

"I'm fine." Stephanie nodded with a smile.Adrian's expression eased up a little, but when he turned to look at the two people behind them, his gaze grew sharp and imposing again. It felt as though the air had chilled around them.Intimidated, the two people immediately clammed up and scurried off, too scared to even collect their tickets.Picking up on the hostility that radiated from him, Stephanie tugged on his sleeve and said, "Don't be mad. I'm fine, really."She looked up at him, her eyes crinkling from her smile.Adrian's demeanor relaxed a bit, and he decided to drop it. After all, this probably counted as his first date with Stephanie, so he didn't want to let some unimportant people ruin things for them.When they entered the cinema hall, the lights had already gone off. Adrian walked ahead, carefully guiding Stephanie to their seats, his warm hand lightly clasped around her elbow.Their seats were in the sixth row, with an openly affectionate couple sitting in the sam
