Semua Bab My Cheating Husband Regretted Everything After I Married a Powerful Billionaire: Bab 271 - Bab 280

Even a brief reply—one or two lines, a bit of sarcasm, a sharp jab—would have been fine.Or even liking a few comments that insulted him.She could have scolded and hated him because at least that would prove she still cared.But now there was no response at all, as if she were telling him that, to her, he was already “dead.”Leslie called in on the internal line.“Mr. Turner, people connected to the finance department have gone to Nathan’s parents’ neighborhood.”Donald said in a low voice, “Have our people observe quietly. Don’t interfere.”“Yes,” Leslie replied.After work, Angela went to pick Sunny up from school.The little girl had won first place in the school’s art competition that day.Her drawing was titled [Dad in the Kitchen.]On the page, a man in an apron was cooking, but his eyes were fixed on the woman sitting on the living room sofa, reading.The judges unanimously gave it the highest score.Their reason was simple—it was vivid and alive.Through the drawing, they saw

“One year?” Leon tapped his daughter lightly on the head. “Sunny, you really dared to ask for that.”He still hesitated over even a single day, yet the little girl was greedy enough to want all 365 days.She wasn’t worried at all about her dad being lonely.Sunny giggled twice. “I was kidding, Daddy. Then let’s stay on the fifth floor. I can sleep in my own room.”Angela was still lying in bed, waiting for Leon to bring her clothes, unaware that the father and daughter had already happily decided to move her to the fifth floor.When they sat down for breakfast and Angela found out, she didn’t object, though there was a faint sense of conflict in her heart.Emotion urged her forward, while reason stubbornly anchored her to the past.At that moment, her heart became a battlefield between the old and the new.She looked at Leon. Before reaching the end, she still couldn’t be sure whether he was the same as Donald.Ready to step onto the “execution ground” once more, she still chose to mov

Angela watched Leon’s reaction.His lips pressed into a thin line, and when the calloused pads of his fingers pinched her earlobe, there was a bit more force.It was obvious that he was jealous.Angela couldn’t help smiling. She turned over and lowered her head, teasingly wondering whether Leon tasted sour.He hadn’t taken off his glasses. Whenever the kiss deepened, she would bump into the cool frames on the bridge of his nose, breaking her focus.Each time she turned her head aside, Leon’s palm cupped her face more firmly, pulling her lips back into his.Men were stronger by nature.Even though he was underneath her, holding her face like that left her with no room to dodge.In the slowly thickening haze, he lightly bit her lip and said, his breathing uneven.“They say men are most attractive when they’re working. Don’t look at him…”Leon knew Donald’s capabilities well enough.The smart systems used in Hightide’s high-end residences all came from Donald’s team.If Donald were truly

Nina kept her pride and didn’t pick up the money on the ground.She swallowed her anger and went back to the moldy rental apartment.When the mentally ill Michael heard the door open, he hid, knocking over the parcels she had packed, scattering them all over the floor.The resentment boiling inside Nina exploded the moment she saw Michael. She completely lost control.She ripped off her hat, tore away her mask, and screamed at him hysterically:“Why didn’t you die? So many people died in the earthquake—why did you get to live? You’re already insane, yet you still can’t forget your precious daughter.“She turned out so arrogant because of you. She bullied me, beat me, and ruined me until I’m worse than a sewer rat. Why should I keep you alive for her?!”“Angel… Angela…”“Don’t call me Angel. I’m not your Angel! Get out!”Nina grabbed and dragged Michael.A man who once stood one meter eighty-five tall was now so weak from long-term physical decline that he couldn’t even resist one of h

He ignored the call for the moment, his expression calm as he told Angela and Sunny to wait in the car.Angela took Sunny from his arms, and the two of them got into the car.Leon turned on the heater before walking a little farther away to answer the call.Whoever was on the other end of the line, under the colored light strips of the garage, made half of Leon’s face look like molten rock suddenly frozen in place.Sunny whispered to Angela, “Mommy, it’s Daddy’s dad calling him. I remember that number. Every time Daddy answers it, he gets unhappy.”Angela paused. “Daddy’s dad?”Sunny nodded. “His biological father.”Sunny knew she had two grandfathers. The one at the farm was gentle and kind, while the grandfather at the estate was cold enough to freeze an entire landscape.Through the car window, Angela saw a heavy look settle over Leon’s face as he ended the call.But when he got back into the car and faced her and Sunny, his smile was bright and cloudless again.She remembered what
