When Love Finds Its Way Back 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 311 - 챕터 320

At the Noah mansion, Daisy sat curled near the edge of the couch beside the open balcony doors. A fashion magazine rested open beside her, completely untouched. Soft music played quietly somewhere in the room, but she barely heard it. Her phone remained in her hand. Yet her attention stayed elsewhere completely. On Ray Simpson. Everything somehow returned to him lately. His face. His silence at the airport. The cold distance between them. The luggage beside him. The engagement. The woman who had answered his phone with that soft, sleepy voice. No matter how much Daisy tried distracting herself, the ache inside her chest refused to disappear. It lingered stubbornly, growing heavier with each passing hour. Frustrated, she tossed her phone carelessly onto the couch before standing abruptly. She walked toward the balcony doors and pushed them open immediately. Cold Lisbourn air greeted her at once, carrying the faint scent of night-blooming flowers from the gardens below. Usually, Da

That question hit harder than Cassienne expected. Because suddenly, she realized Helena was right. She remembered the grief. The sickness afterward, and the endless hospital visits during that period of her childhood. But the details surrounding Ethan Rhodes’ death itself? They felt strangely blurred. Broken. Almost buried. “I can tell you the truth,” Helena said quietly. “But not over the phone. When you’re ready to hear everything, come home.” The line disconnected shortly afterward. Cassienne remained standing there for several long seconds, staring blankly at the dark screen of her phone. Her heartbeat had slowed strangely. Not from calmness. But from shock. Fragments of memory suddenly moved through her mind without warning. Bright hospital lights. How her mother cried. And how someone carried her. Voices speaking too loudly around her. The pain. Then nothing. A sharp voice suddenly pulled her back. “Cassienne?” She blinked immediately. One of her assistants stood ne

Cassienne hesitated for a moment before shaking her head gently. “Just family matters.” Jeff nodded slowly, not pushing further. “Those are usually the worst kind.” For a second, she wondered how much he understood simply by observing people. Jeff Sandler was far more perceptive than most people realized. He glanced toward the development floor outside before speaking again. “You know, when I first approached you for this collaboration, everyone told me the same thing.” Cassienne looked at him curiously. “What was that?” “That you were brilliant but emotionally detached. Difficult to read. Difficult to approach.” “And now?” Jeff smiled faintly. “Now I think they were completely wrong.” Cassienne frowned slightly. “How so?” “Because people like you only look cold when they’re protecting something.” The words settled strangely inside her. Before she could respond, her phone vibrated again across the desk nearby. The moment she saw Dreston’s name on the screen, her expression

Cassienne kissed him. Not like the feared CEO that he truly is. But like her husband. The man who rules her world. The father of her unborn child. And immediately, the restraint inside him cracked. Dreston’s hands tightened around her waist as he deepened the kiss instantly, pulling her closer until she almost lost balance against him. The kiss carried days of exhaustion, fear, longing, and relief all at once. Cassienne’s fingers curled lightly against his shoulders as she kissed him back with equal need. God, she had missed him too. Dreston stood suddenly, lifting her effortlessly into his arms without breaking the kiss. Cassienne let out a soft surprised sound against his lips that only seemed to encourage him further. He carried her and laid her down carefully beneath him. For a moment, he simply looked at her, like he needed the reminder that she was safe, alive and his. Cassienne reached upward and touched his jaw gently. “Why are you looking at me like that?” “Because I n

And for now, that was enough. She leaned forward and kissed him softly. Dreston responded slowly at first, then with growing warmth, his hand sliding against her back as if he wanted to memorize the feel of her all over again. The kiss didn't come with the desperation of the night before. It was calmer and intimate in a different way. More like peace at last. When Cassienne finally pulled back, Dreston followed her slightly, reluctant to let the moment end. She smiled against his lips. “You really don’t want to go to work.” “I don’t.” “Then what do you want to do?” “Stay here.” “And?” “With you.” “And?” He looked at her with open amusement now. “You’re trying to trap me into saying something inappropriate.” “I’m trying to see if you have shame.” “I don’t. At least not with you.” Cassienne laughed again, this time more freely. Dreston’s expression softened as he watched her. These were the moments he really missed while they were pretending, hiding, calculating every mov
