Semua Bab You Wed Your Past; I Wed My Future: Bab 211 - Bab 220

"Tyler Grover has too much time on his hands. Keep him occupied," Adrian said into his phone, his gaze icy.But when he returned to Stephanie in the living room, he was back to being the doting and affectionate self he was in front of her. "I've told them to prepare the snacks for us. They'll be bringing it over soon.""Okay."For some reason, Stephanie felt pretty excited about seeing a horror movie with Adrian. They'd watched movies with suspenseful and frightening scenes before, but that couldn't compare to a proper horror movie.Since Adrian hadn't seen this one before, she played it from the start. She didn't mind rewatching the earlier part anyway. After all, watching the movie with someone else felt different from watching it alone.Soon, one of the staff brought in the tray of cut fruits and snacks before wisely retreating out of the living room.In the beginning, the movie wasn't all that scary. It was mostly scenes of everyday life, so Stephanie could still eat while wa

Later on, Tyler received a call from that subordinate.After leaving the roses, he'd walked off and kept watch near the villa. Not long after, he saw a security guard throw the roses out.Tyler's subordinate tried to console him by saying that maybe the security guard had thrown out the roses without being told to, but that was impossible, of course.A security guard wouldn't dare throw out the roses that had been delivered to Stephanie without her permission. She probably didn't even look at them before getting the security guard to trash them.But roses used to be her favorite. In the past, she was always so happy whenever he bought her roses. Why did she no longer like them?Suddenly, the photo was covered by the notice of an incoming call.Tyler frowned to see the name "Kiki" on his screen.He took a deep breath. Although he didn't want to take the call, he thought about the baby Kiara had miscarried and ended up answering it."What is it, Kiki?" he asked gently."When are

Kiara couldn't be more upset right now. She took a deep breath before saying to Jonathan, "I'm just asking you for help. Why must you say such things to me?""Instead of asking me for help on this, you should be coming up with a way to keep that bastard Tyler on a leash. Don't let him pester Stephanie all the time."Kiara was shaking with anger. "What makes you think I can do that? It's not like I was born as lucky as Stephanie—""You call her lucky?" Jonathan interrupted. "She got strung along by a scumbag for five years. She worked herself to the bone, ruining her health just to run his company for him. Yet during that entire time, the scumbag has been cheating on her with another woman, even sleeping with that woman."She even got into a car accident that cost her one of her legs. If you think she's so lucky, why don't you trade lives with her, huh? Would you want her life, too?"Kiara jolted. "C-Car accident? How do you know about the car accident?""I had my people look into

"Really?" Stephanie glanced down at herself.Since they were just attending a private gathering and not a formal occasion, she'd put on a simple dress and only applied some light makeup."Really," Adrian said, his eyes fixed on her. "You're always breathtaking no matter when or where."Stephanie wanted to say he was being corny, but when she noticed the sincerity in his eyes and voice, she couldn't bring herself to say that. Her ears started to burn."Enough of that," she said with a laugh. "Let's go."Catching sight of her pink ears, Adrian smiled. "Okay."…In the hotel lobby, Eric felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the news the bodyguard had pointed out to him. Every hair on his body was standing on end. Arnold's company was much bigger than his, yet it had been destroyed so easily.What did that mean for him, then?If Adrian and Stephanie decided to destroy him, it would be as effortless as squashing an ant.He hadn't forgotten that Stephanie told him not to co

"Leaving so soon, Ms. Ford?" Lionel was on the verge of tears. "Why don't you stay for lunch instead?""No thanks. I'm a little tired right now," Stephanie said with a smile. "Don't worry, Mr. Wagner. We're still friends."Those two men had ruined her mood a bit, but it wasn't Lionel who said those things, so she wouldn't blame him for what had happened.Her assurance made him relax a bit. Seeing that she was truly uninterested in sticking around any longer, he didn't try to keep her. He simply promised to invite them over for another meal next time.After seeing Adrian and Stephanie off, Lionel couldn't resist admonishing the two men."Have you two lost your minds? What was all that nonsense about whether a woman could do it? What gives you two such a lofty sense of superiority, huh?" Lionel questioned, sounding quite livid."I wanted everyone to have fun and enjoy themselves today, but you two started running your mouths even though you barely had a drink! Well, look what you d
