All Chapters of Married As His Contractual Wife, Now He Spoils Me Silly! : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

BERNARD REEDI grasped her shoulder, and pushed her away from me, my grip firm but not gentle. She stumbled backward, losing her balance, and for a moment, it seemed like she would fall down.Her head snapped at me, her eyes widened in shock and horror as she struggled to regain her balance back, her heels stumbling uncertainly on the floor.Despite a pang of concern that flickered through me, I remained rooted to the spot, my face etched with anger.Hazel, however, her face twisted in a mix of rage and hurt. "I still don't understand you, Bernard," she spat, her voice bitter. "Why are you trying to be difficult?!" She paused, raking her fingers through her hair, instinctively pushing it to one side, her eyes blazing with intensity as she locked gazes with me. "Despite all the effort I've put in... just to please you, the next thing to do was to push me away like I'm some kind of dirt? Really?"I let out a soft sigh, my expression unyielding as I dipped my hands into my pockets. "I

THE NEXT DAYAVERY WINTERSThe next morning, I woke up to Bernard serving me breakfast on bed. He'd woken up early, and prepared my favorite meal. I was shocked because for the past few weeks, he had hardly spent time with me, let alone cook a meal for me. His phone was his best friend now. But either way, I'm happy that he's here with me. That's all that matters, even though I still had my doubt.He began to feed me, however, I still couldn't shake off the doubts playing in my head.Could it be possible that he's truly seeing another woman?— I thought worriedly, my eyes fixed intently on his, searching his eyes for any hidden answer.But, if he truly was, he wouldn't be this caring toward me, would me? I mean, he would've abandoned me, right? He wouldn't bother to care about me, or my feelings anymore. After all, I've not been able to bear him a child. Not even a pregnancy to show off.Come to think of it, even as Caden's wife, I wasn't able to give him a child. And now, with Bern

AVERY WINTERSMy phone kept ringing, and I knew it was my friends calling, but I ignored it. With my legs trembling beneath me, I slowly stepped out of the car and approached the gate.These guards on duty even knew who I was, because why else would they all bow their heads at me as I angrily walked past them? Without trying to stop me?Well, I didn't even need their greetings, and I didn't acknowledge them either.How could they still treat me this way despite knowing that their boss was cheating on his wife?I angrily walked past them, and all of a sudden, Lucas appeared out of nowhere, making me stop abruptly on my steps.My expression turned disbelieving as I stared at him. I couldn't believe he was also aware of his boss's infidelity."Mrs. Reed, h-how comes you're here?" he asked, his tone gentle yet firm as he stood in front of me, blocking my path."Get out of my way," I hissed coldly.It was obvious that he was trying to stop me from catching his boss red handed. I need to

BERNARD REEDAs I swung the door open and walked in, my gaze immediately landed on my wife and my sister, wrapped in each other's arms, as Harper tried to sooth her calm.Avery's back was resting against the bed frame. Earlier, I had instructed the doctor to transfer her to the VIP room. At first, I didn't make a sound and none of them knew that I was already inside. Avery, however, had tears on her face. She was sobbing profusely. Now, I don't even know how to start a conversation with her. I needed to make her understand that I wasn't cheating on her, but how do I do that?I had no idea yet. I doubt if she would even give me the chance to explain myself. She must've hated me right now. Just then, Scarlet spotted me and her eyes darkened. It felt like she's suddenly heard something about me and hated me for it. Because this wasn't the look on her face earlier. Maybe, Avery had told her about what she saw earlier at the penthouse. Avery and Harper noticed my presence, and both

AVERY WINTERS"No, no, it's not what you're thinking, Avery," she said quickly, shaking her head vigorously alongside with her hands. "Bernard would never hurt you intentionally, trust me,""It all started with me, and it was at that time, when I still believed you didn't deserve my brother. So, I decided to meet with Hazel. She'd already took in when they broke up, and it wasn't even her wish to leave Bernard," "She was stuck and needed to save her family members, so she choose to break up with him and made him felt being betrayed, but she didn't actually wanted to hurt me. That time I was stupid, and I-I wanted to make you felt pained, so I encouraged her and made her go to Bernard,""I also instigated her to make sure to trap him with the child. I was really stupid to have done that, because all I wanted was to come in between you two. But I regretted my actions now. I really do, Avery. I'm so sorry. I'm deeply sorry for causing you pain now," she explained, and apologized at the
