Semua Bab You Wed Your Past; I Wed My Future: Bab 371 - Bab 380

Stephanie's cheeks began to burn out of embarrassment.It was true that she was… a lot more passionate this afternoon compared to the previous times.Oh, Adrian…If it wasn't for the fact that he had a serious and concerned look on his face, Stephanie would've thought that he was teasing her.Since he insisted on carrying her, she took advantage of him instantly by wrapping her arms around his neck. A haughty expression was plastered on her face. Since she was in a good mood, she kept swinging her legs about.After Adrian carried Stephanie out of the bathroom, he returned to the bed and placed her on the mattress properly."Is your lower back still sore?" he asked."I'm feeling fine.""Lie down. Let me give you another massage."Stephanie was a little dubious about Adrian's intentions when he told her to lie down, but she still lay on the bed obediently.Adrian didn't do anything else but knead her on the waist properly. He used the perfect force, not to mention his palms wer

Adrian never said anything, yet Stephanie was already saying no in his face.Wasn't that enough to prove that her mind had just gone down the gutter?The sight of Adrian's smile widening made Stephanie feel a mix of anger and embarrassment, so she quickly lifted a hand to cover his mouth."Stop smiling!"Adrian didn't remove Stephanie's hand from his mouth, nor did he make another sound. He just gazed at her quietly, though the mirth in his eyes was still obvious as ever."You…"Stephanie was so pissed that she turned her back on Adrian immediately. "I don't want to talk to you anymore!"Adrian pursed his lips in order to suppress the smile on his face. Then, he started coaxing Stephanie."I'm not smiling anymore, so don't be mad at me."Stephanie still remained silent, so Adrian added, "I'm serious. If you don't believe me, you can turn around and look at me."She didn't want to turn around at first, but Adrian's tone was too enticing for her to ignore. She couldn't stop h

When Martha found Kiara at midnight, the latter was drowning her sorrows in a corner of a bar.The music in the bar was deafeningly loud. When Martha talked to Kiara, the latter couldn't hear her at all. In the end, Martha spent a lot of effort dragging Kiara out of the bar.As soon as they exited the bar, Kiara supported herself against the tree outside the bar's entrance before she emptied her guts onto the pavement.Martha did her best to suppress her fury the whole time. When Kiara was finally done puking, she stood up straight, only to get slapped by Martha in the face."Look at yourself! What the hell are you doing?"It took Kiara some time to finally make out Martha's face. She let out a chuckle before lunging at Martha drunkenly."Mom! Heheh! I miss you so much, Mom!"With a look of disdain, Martha shoved Kiara away. The sight of the latter having let herself go pissed Martha off to no end."Did you seriously return to Hydroton behind my back just so you can drink yours

"Don't worry, Mom." Kiara hugged Martha's arm, as though they were still close as they were in the past. "This time, I'll definitely listen to you."Martha sighed in return. "I'll treat what you said tonight as drunken nonsense. You'll still be my daughter. When you're in Jetterpolis, you need to take care of yourself. Once I have time, I'll visit you there. Just… don't come back anymore."Heh. So at the end of the day, Martha's last sentence was the most important one.Kiara might be drunk, but she recognized that all too well. A cold smile curved her lips, but she still replied docilely, "Okay, Mom."…On the day Grover Group's product launch event was set to start, the mass media and the guests had arrived at the venue earlier than expected.Since the product launch event had yet to start, Tyler didn't get onto the stage. He just observed the scene from the shadows.He longed to see Stephanie's silhouette among the guests. But after waiting for a long time, he had yet to see

But then again, Adrian was right.Hector was Adrian's grandfather, yet now he kept helping others out. In fact, the person he was helping was also Adrian's love rival.Did he feel any guilt? Of course he did.Whenever he recalled how Amelia and Adrian respected and loved him so much in the past, Hector was filled with guilt.But when he recalled what had happened many years ago, he realized that he didn't want to carry such a heavy burden with him when it was time to depart from this world."We'll always be family, Adrian. This fact will never change." Hector sounded very grim. "That's why I hope that you can understand me.""Yeah. We'll always be family. You'll always be my grandfather. But if understanding you means being separated from the woman I love and watching her suffer from injustice, then I can't do that. I'm sorry, Grandpa Hector," Adrian said. "Besides, I might even disappoint Grandma in doing so."Hector's breath was lodged in his throat.When he recalled the way
