Semua Bab Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford: Bab 371 - Bab 380

Aiden didn't understand what Isabelle meant.Lucas was equally confused. "Honey, what are you talking about?""What am I talking about?" Isabelle let out a cold laugh. "Aiden, you can drop the innocent act. I have no interest in disciplining someone else's husband. But whether you're still Sonia's husband or not, that's becoming questionable."Aiden frowned. "What the hell do you mean?""Have you even noticed how long Sonia has been gone?" she asked, studying his face. "Figures. You've barely been home lately."All these men were scum.Aiden's eyes narrowed. "If you've got something to say, just say it!"Isabelle's eyes stung with unshed tears, but she forced them back. "Her mom passed away."Aiden's mind went blank. He then remembered the message Sonia had sent him, saying her mother wasn't doing well and asking him to come to the hospital.Lucas was stunned. "This is serious. Why didn't you tell me?""What good would telling you do? You're all the same!" Isabelle snapped, t

"Okay," Vance muttered before walking back into his office.Catherine followed a few steps, only to hear the door slam shut. She stood frozen outside for a long time, unable to process it.Was this really the same man who, when she first returned, had given her anything she wanted?She had looked so pitiful, but he hadn't even noticed. His gaze no longer lingered on her. It was unbelievable.She sneered, realizing that men were always chasing what they couldn't have.When Aiden arrived home, the first thing he noticed was two large suitcases in the entryway. He assumed Sonia had just returned and hadn't unpacked yet.He walked in and called out, "Shane?"Their son came out dragging a small suitcase, walking quietly beside Sonia. She held his hand and carried a large canvas bag over her shoulder."Are you just getting back or heading out?" Aiden asked, sensing something was off."Heading out," she replied flatly."Where to?" He thought they were going on a trip. "It's fine if

Rebecca steadied herself, her gaze icy cold. "We've known each other for 12 years. In your eyes, I probably have nothing but flaws, but I forgot to mention one more. I have a serious cleanliness obsession."Vance was stunned. "You think I'm dirty?""Didn't I already tell you?" She remembered clearly that she had said it to his face.Didn't he know the answer?Vance suddenly felt powerless, having no confidence to deny it."Rebecca..." He grabbed her wrist, but the moment her gaze landed on his hand, he let go.The disdain in her eyes made him flinch, but he refused to step aside. "Is there any chance for us to start over?"She stayed silent, then muttered, "Only if we could go back to when we were 16."Back then, he had been her whole world. Nothing bad had happened between them, and they hadn't met anyone else.Now the wealth he possessed could buy almost anything, but he could not turn back time. Despair was the only thing left in his eyes.When she tried to leave again, he

"Yeah. What are you even depressed about? Just get the divorce done. You and Cathy can finally be together," Aiden echoed. "Don't tell me you never thought about marrying her. We're all men here; we understand each other. If your old feelings for her ever died, I'd let you kick my head around like a ball.""That's my biggest mistake," Vance admitted. "I've been thinking about this seriously these past few days. Isabelle wasn't wrong when she called me out. I never planned to divorce Rebecca, but it's also true I let that old spark with Cathy come back to life."He lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I kept telling myself I could control it. Even if I had feelings for Cathy, I could keep them in check. I would never betray my marriage. I swore I would never become the kind of cheating scumbag my father was. I'd stick with whoever I was married to for life. I believed that as long as I didn't cheat physically, it didn't count as betraying Rebecca."His voice grew qui

"You should go find Sonia," Vance suggested. "Don't end up like me, regretting everything when it's too late.""No way!" Aiden waved it off. "If you're not coming, I'll go by myself. Boring."Aiden ended up spending the night with several middle-aged men in the flashing lights and loud music, living it up with girls on each arm.When he finally stumbled out in the wee hours, his phone was ringing. His mother had called more than ten times.When he answered, she told him she wasn't feeling well and would be coming to Soliaridge the next day to see a doctor.Deeply drunk, he mumbled in agreement.The following day, he remembered the call, but Sonia wasn't home.He needed to get her back, calling her without hesitation. Sonia answered, but her voice was cold. "Hello?""My mom is coming today," he started. "Says she's not feeling well. Where are you? Get back here and take her to the hospital. We don't know if she'll need to be admitted."He sounded casual, as if Sonia had simply
