Semua Bab Chained To My Bad Boy's Wild Love: Bab 71 - Bab 80

On a quiet September afternoon, Felix allowed Vinson to join Elson and Esther for a small picnic. The three of them often spent their days that way, especially since Esther loved helping her household cook, and the boys were always the first to taste whatever she made. They chose a spot by the river, not far from the farm. Usually, Felix would watch over them from a distance.But that day he was needed elsewhere. A cow was struggling through labor, and Felix had to assist in the birthing stall. Because of that, he handed the responsibility of watching the children to a new worker who had no real experience with things like this. Felix hesitated for a moment, sensing the risk, but work pressed on him. He set aside the faint pull of worry and focused on the cow fighting to bring life into the world.He even forgot that the children had gone out after a heavy rain. The grass would be slick, and the river would swell with a stronger, more dangerous current. What seemed like a small task a

Vinson woke when the bus was already humming along the road, fifteen minutes away from the Rodrigo ranch that had once been their whole world. The boy blinked hard, his gaze darting from seat to window, as if trying to understand how the morning had changed without him.“Where are we, Big brother?”“We’re on our way to our new home.”To Felix’s quiet surprise, Vinson didn’t cry or protest. He simply turned toward the window, pressing his small hand against the cool glass. Tall trees drifted past like silent witnesses, their branches brushing the sky. The world outside felt different, as though the bus carried them through a space suspended between what they left behind and what waited ahead.After a long silence, Vinson whispered again. “Big brother… why do we have to move? Is it because I was bad? Or because of the accident that happened to Esther?”Felix hesitated. He weighed the truth in his mind, turning it like a stone he wasn’t sure he should show. It felt kinder to let the boy

“Thirty coins.” A cigarette hung from Vinson’s lips as he dug through his wallet, trying to pull out some bills. The cashier, chewing her gum without a care in the world, dropped thirty arcade tokens onto the counter. Her eyes never left the game happening right in front of them.“Shit,” Vinson muttered when he found nothing inside his wallet. He hadn’t refilled it with cash, and this old place still didn’t take cards. At least the ATM wasn’t far. “Hey, I’m out of cash. I’m still buying the coins.”The woman only shrugged. “Whatever, man.”Vinson rolled his eyes and turned around to leave, but he stopped short when he bumped into someone standing behind him in line.“Hi,” Grace greeted, lifting her hand and patting his shoulder like they hadn’t just run into each other. “I got it.”Since she was already holding her wallet, she pulled out some money and slid it to the cashier. “Add thirty more coins.”Vinson didn’t say a thing. He just stared at her, surprised she’d step in so casually

“I started realizing that when I was dating Gaara, at least you’d start noticing me. I thought if I started dating your friend, you’d start wondering why the hell I’d bother with him, and maybe… just maybe, you’d get interested in me.” A tear slid down her cheek.“I was such an idiot. Even to the end, my stupid hope of making you see me never came true. Instead, I dragged an innocent person into this mess. Even though Gaara wasn’t the type to take our relationship lightly, he never left me. He was always there when I poured my heart out, even when I spilled about you. He’s not the attentive type, but whenever I struggled, he helped. What we had wasn’t anything romantic to me. But apparently, he saw me as more than that. Unlike me, I just used him.”Closing her eyes, two more tears ran down her face. “After dating Gaara and realizing I couldn’t go on like that, I thought I needed to talk to Nelsy about it. But of course, fate hates me. I got wasted at our high school graduation party.

And suddenly, Esther found herself in a taxi with Felix. Just like yesterday, the taxi became the unplanned setting that brought them together.“You must be wondering why I chose a taxi instead of driving myself,” he said, breaking the silence. It was, indeed, a little surprising to see him riding without driving his own car. Especially considering he was a multi-millionaire who bought cars like they were toys.“Yes… honestly, I did think about that,” Esther replied, stiffly.“I only have two cars. One is for the farm, and the other… is Vinson’s Lamborghini,” Felix explained.Unexpectedly, he was the type of wealthy person who remained humble, and Esther secretly admired that.“I don’t like the way people look at me, filled with awe, jealousy, or curiosity. I hate feeling like I have to interpret every glance. It’s easier to just ignore it, but honestly… I’m more comfortable this way,” he continued.As he spoke, Esther realized that Felix was genuinely a good person, someone deserving
