All Chapters of My Husband's Affair, My Anniversary Gift : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

After Marina wrapped up her shoot, they left the location together. The ride was quiet at first, with only the sound of the car moving through the busy street.David leaned back, pulling out his phone to check messages. His brows furrowed immediately—there were several missed calls from Roy. Then something struck him. His phone was on silent.He stared at it, confused. Silent mode? He couldn't even remember the last time he had done that. Why would he? He never put his phone on silent.A sharp edge entered his voice as he dialed. "Roy."At the mention of Roy's name, Marina's body stiffened. Her hands curled tightly in her lap."Sir, where are you?" Roy's voice burst through the speaker, panicked. "Everyone has been waiting! We had an important meeting this morning—Soul Group was in the conference room for two hours before they finally left in anger. After that, your Tokyo client and a domestic partner kept calling me nonstop. I thought something had happened to you!"David's jaw tight

Olivia rose from the armchair where she had been sitting. Every movement of hers was graceful and deliberate. She didn't raise her voice, but every word held the weight of judgment, the authority of a mother who had seen enough."You think," Olivia began, her eyes narrowing, "that you can vanish for years, abandoning him without explanation, and then walk back into this house as if nothing happened?"Marina opened her mouth, but the words caught in her throat."Don't. I haven't forgotten what you did on my birthday," Olivia said sharply, silencing her before a sound could escape.Her heels clicked softly as she approached, her figure commanding the entire room. "So, I don't want excuses. I don't want your sob story. What I want is the truth. Why are you really here? Because it's certainly not love."Her gaze swept Marina from head to toe, disdain dripping from every second she spent looking at her. "No... love doesn't look like this. Love doesn't leave. Love doesn't destroy."Riyana s

After finishing her work, Lily walked to the reception desk. Sofia, the receptionist, looked up from her seat, her face lighting up the moment she saw Lily."Miss Lily, your parcel is here," Sofia said warmly, reaching under the desk and pulling out a neatly packed bag.Lily's eyes softened. "Thank you, Sofia." She reached out and accepted the bag, giving her a genuine smile."You're welcome. And Miss Lily…" Sofia hesitated, her voice lowering a little. "You've been working so hard lately. Don't forget to take care of yourself."Lily chuckled softly, touched by the concern. "I'll keep that in mind."She waved and turned to leave. The glass doors of the office slid open, and the cool evening air brushed her face.Lily held the bag tightly in her hands as she sat back in the taxi. The city lights streamed past the window, blurring into a mix of gold and red. She checked her watch again: 7:15.Her heart beat a little faster. I should've left earlier… Noa must already be waiting.The thou

Lily stopped in her tracks and looked up at the stairs.Carson was coming down, this time in casual clothes: a plain white t-shirt that clung to his shoulders and chest, and black joggers that hung loosely on his hips. His hair was still damp and messy, with strands falling over his forehead.Lily's breath hitched.For a moment, her mind went completely blank. Her throat went dry.Damn...She had never seen anyone this handsome up close before. It was almost unfair. He looked younger than his age, yet carried himself with an easy confidence that made it even worse. His tousled hair only added to the charm, as if he had just stepped out of a magazine photoshoot.Her heart gave an odd little thump in her chest.Carson stopped at the bottom of the stairs, casually leaning against the railing, his sharp gaze fixed on her."You look like you've seen a ghost," he said with a sly smile.Lily quickly blinked, forcing herself to snap out of it. She clenched her fists by her sides."Y...You..."

Lily lowered her eyes, nervously fiddling with her fingers. She sensed truth in his words, but she couldn't shake the uneasiness in her chest. She still wasn't sure who the real Carson Bennett was—was he the teasing, spoiled man from earlier, or this calm, understanding one now sitting across from her?Just then, Carson's mobile began to vibrate on the sofa. He glanced down at the caller ID and stood up."I have to take this," he said smoothly, his tone returning to that calm maturity that kept throwing Lily off balance. Before walking away, he looked at her again. "You can rest. And don't worry about staying here. If you leave after I come, I'll feel bad, so just stay here. I won't be home much, even if I'm around. So relax."He gave a little wave of his hand—almost dismissive but not rude—and added, "This house is too big to stay alone, and it'd be worse to leave it empty like this. So just chill."With that, Carson turned and walked toward the stairs. Lily sat frozen on the sofa, h
