บททั้งหมดของ You Wed Your Past; I Wed My Future: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

The moment Tyler saw the figure stepping out of the car, his eyes narrowed.It was Adrian!A fine drizzle had started to fall. Adrian emerged from the car holding an umbrella. After opening it, he strode toward Stephanie and held the umbrella over her head."Sorry that I'm late," he said. "Traffic was a bit heavy."Stephanie was taken aback. "You're the one picking me up?"Why did Henry arrange for Adrian to pick her up?It wouldn't be appropriate to trouble him with something so unimportant.However, Adrian showed no sign of being bothered at all. He simply said, "Get in.""Steph!"Tyler remained seated in his car, staring fixedly at the two of them. "Hurry up and get in!"Stephanie certainly wasn't going to get into Tyler's car, so she smiled at Adrian, saying, "Thanks for picking me up, Mr. Hawke."She was simply giving Adrian a polite smile, but in Tyler's eyes, her smile looked exceptionally charming, and the sight of that stung his eyes.How could Stephanie smile like

After thinking for a moment, Stephanie said, "A marriage alliance isn't a game, so I'll take it seriously. Since I've already agreed to it, I'll make an effort to get along with my future spouse."Then, she smiled at Adrian, saying, "You don't have to worry about it.""I don't have to worry about it?""That's right," Stephanie said with an earnest nod.She figured that Adrian was checking on her stance on the matter on behalf of the Hawke family. Since he was Andrew's older cousin, it was perfectly normal for him to be concerned about Andrew's marriage.After a long moment, Adrian finally hummed in acknowledgment.The car pulled up in front of the retro-style villa where Stephanie was currently staying. She thanked Adrian and was about to get out when he suddenly asked, "There's a movie premiere on the 22nd of next month. Do you want to go with me?"Startled, she turned back to look at him.Although his expression was pretty neutral, he had a serious look in his eyes.Stephani

After saying that, Kiara rolled up her sleeves to reveal the bruises on her arms."Goodness me! How did you get these?" Martha exclaimed. "Did they actually hit you?""There's some kind of ringleader in there, and anyone who doesn't do as she says gets beaten up…" Kiara said before staring tearfully at Tyler again. "How could you bear to let me go through this, Ty?""I couldn't bear to, of course," Tyler said, his fingers circling when he took in her trembling shoulders. "I…"He wanted to explain himself, but he didn't know what to say. Was he supposed to say that he'd tried to get her out, but he'd failed? Wouldn't that mean he'd have to admit that he lost to Adrian?"You have no idea how much I've missed you, Ty…"Martha's gaze stiffened as she immediately cried out, "That's enough. Let's not say these things here, Kiki. We should go home first. I've had the staff prepare the ingredients for all your favorite things to eat…"Tyler glanced at her before saying, "Let's get in th

Afraid Tyler would bring up getting a divorce again, Kiara continued crying for a while before finally getting rid of him, claiming she needed to rest.She picked up a mirror. The sallow face that stared back at her made her grit her teeth in hatred. In her heart, she had already hacked Stephanie into a thousand pieces.It was all Stephanie's fault that she had ended up like this. From now on, she would be forced to live with the stain of having a criminal record!The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.All of a sudden, Kiara thought of something. She eagerly grabbed her phone and pulled up a video platform. She wanted to see just how popular her dance video had gotten.Before she'd been taken to the detention center, she'd seen that the video had already been gaining quite a lot of traction. The comments section was full of praise for her, with quite a few people insulting Stephanie as well. Reading those had been a delight.There had to be even more comments by n

Stephanie no longer wanted to waste her breath on Tyler.She turned to leave, but he suddenly said, "It's just as well. You should get some rest. Our focus now should be working on a project with the Fords of Jetterpolis, and it's not like you can contribute to that anyway. I'll have to rely on Kiki for that."Stephanie paused in her footsteps."You're absolutely right, Mr. Grover," she said with biting sarcasm. "Ms. Grover is truly impressive, being able to cozy up to the Fords of Jetterpolis.""She certainly is," Tyler said stiffly.He'd only brought it up so suddenly because he wanted to get under Stephanie's skin. Not only had she refused to come home, but she even dared to hand in her resignation!She needed to understand she wasn't all that important. As long as she showed some regret now, it wouldn't be too late.But why was Stephanie speaking in such a peculiar tone?"Then you'd better hold on tight to Ms. Grover," Stephanie said as she turned back to look at him with a
