All Chapters of I Married My Fiancé’s Uncle: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Ronan shot to his feet.His entire body went rigid, and he swallowed hard when his eyes met Devan's icy gaze.To make matters worse, Devan wasn't alone.Alexa stood quietly beside him.It felt as though Ronan's fate had finally caught up with him."U-Uncle..."The word barely escaped his lips, sounding more like a fearful whisper than a greeting.His eyes instinctively drifted toward Alexa, who stood elegantly beside Devan. Panic surged through him, and he quickly looked away, terrified that she might somehow discover he had been the mastermind behind her kidnapping a few days ago.Martha immediately noticed the fear written all over Ronan's face, while Devan remained perfectly composed.She slowly rose to her feet and discreetly smoothed the wrinkles from her clothes."Devan... what brings you here?" Martha asked, forcing a friendly smile despite the unmistakable anxiety in her eyes. The arrival of her brother-in-law filled her with an overwhelming sense of unease.After learning tha

The moment Devan's final words left his lips, Daniel's jaw tightened.The defiance in his eyes vanished, replaced by unmistakable fear. His eyes widened, and his breathing caught in his chest. The heart monitor beside his bed began beeping faster, its shrill rhythm filling the room.Daniel knew exactly what Devan was talking about.He knew Devan wasn't bluffing.The fatal car accident that had claimed Devan's mother's life more than a decade ago had never been a simple accident. Hidden behind that dark secret was the one person Daniel had desperately protected all these years—his own mother, now a frail old woman confined to a wheelchair.If Devan reopened the case using the influence of DEV Group, there was no doubt she would spend the rest of her life behind bars."W-What... what are you talking about, Devan?" Daniel stammered, trying to deny it despite the obvious tremor in his voice. "Don't make up stories! Your mother's death was nothing more than a tragic accident! Don't pin the

Alexa's breathing came in quick, uneven bursts as the distance between them disappeared.Her hands remained tightly clenched around Devan's shirt collar, holding him firmly against the bedroom wall.For the first time, she cast aside all the fear and hesitation that had always restrained her.She couldn't allow this misunderstanding to destroy everything they had begun to build together."Listen to me, Devan Alistair!" Alexa said firmly, her voice carrying an assertiveness she had never shown before.Her eyes locked onto Devan's icy gaze without wavering."I'm sorry for what Valeria said. Those were her thoughts, not mine. I've never—not even once—thought about divorcing you after all of this is over!"Devan remained motionless.His jaw stayed rigid as he deliberately turned his face away, refusing to look at her.His indifference only poured fuel onto the panic raging inside Alexa."Devan! Look at me!"Her voice rose in frustration.Still, he said nothing.His impassive expression re

Devan walked downstairs with an expression as cold as ice, leaving Alexa asleep in their bedroom.He refused to let his wife's morning be ruined by the cheap drama the woman downstairs had brought with her.The moment he stepped onto the first floor, his eyes landed on Martha, who looked utterly disheveled. Yet not a trace of sympathy crossed Devan's face.To him, every tear she shed today was nothing more than the harvest of the storm she and her family had sown for years.As soon as Martha saw him enter the room, Devan spoke without hesitation."Follow me to my study."Without waiting for a response, he turned on his heel and led the way toward his private study at the far corner of the first floor.Martha hurriedly wiped away her tears and followed behind her brother-in-law.As soon as they entered, Devan shut the heavy oak door behind them, sealing the room off from the outside world.Walking behind his desk, he remained standing instead of sitting. Bracing both hands against the

Alexa remained motionless in Devan's embrace.She didn't speak, but she gave a faint nod."I've always known everything about you, Alexa," Devan whispered, his voice hoarse beside her ear.His arms tightened around her back, as though he feared she would slip away the moment he loosened his hold."I know how difficult your life became in the Ivander household after your mother passed away."Alexa's body, which had been stiff and lifeless moments earlier, gradually relaxed against the warmth of his chest.Yet her mind was still drowning in questions."A long time ago... I wanted to approach you, Alexa. I wanted to take you away from all that suffering," Devan admitted honestly, his gaze drifting toward the wall as memories resurfaced. "But just as I was about to do it, I saw Ronan by your side. When I realized the two of you had grown close, I had no choice but to step back."Alexa blinked away the lingering tears."Step back?""Yes."His voice was quiet but firm."I chose to protect y
