Semua Bab REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. : Bab 51 - Bab 60

ETHANThe room was silent, with only the opening song from the movie sounding lightly in the background. Leander stared at the screen. His gaze remained emotionless, making it impossible for me to understand if he also wanted to watch the movie at all. "Should I change it?" "What?""I mean, would you prefer to watch horror or historical movies?" Men seemed to prefer that to romantic dramas. Leander glanced at me. "Do you want to watch those?" His cold eyes pierced mine, slightly probing. My lips parted, but no reply came. I slowly looked away. "No. But you can tell me..." "I'll watch whatever you want." My lips trembled. The movie began. It was a romantic movie following the life of a university student. A fertile man and a fellow senior. It was love at first sight for the fertile man, but the senior had a girlfriend. Selfishly, the fertile young man seduced the senior and even went as far as drugging his drink. My brows furrowed as I watched him secretly mix something in

ETHANAfter releasing once, I felt a little better and calmer. The raging heat subsided, and with it came my rationality. I hugged the pillow tight, pressing my cheek deeper into it as I glanced at Leander, who was wiping his fingers with a wipe. "Should I help you take care of yours?" I glanced meaningfully at his pants. His eyelids lowered slightly. "No.""No?" "It's almost morning. I'll clean you up, and we can go to bed." He paused. "Not tonight." My mind buzzed. I wanted to sit up, but the relaxation that came after pleasure pressed me back in bed, and I could only groan in displeasure.Glancing at his pants, I could see the huge bulge underneath... "Why? You seem to need help, too." "I don't." Leander's voice remained as casual as ever. "It will go down after a while." I almost sneered. "Then what about our deal?" My voice grew lower. My eyelids grew heavier. I saw Leander leaning close. My eyes parted, trying to stay on his figure. But he only wiped the sweat etched o

ETHAN"The Chairman is in the conference room, having a meeting with some clients. Would you like to join them?" "He asked to bring you in if you decide to join." I thought about it for a moment and shook my head. "No need. Thanks." With that, I turned around and left. The meeting with the client was something I had no prior knowledge of, and I had zero understanding of what they were talking about. Going inside that place to watch them talk and negotiate would be too boring. I'd rather focus on the training books for now and cross that bridge when the time comes. Every lazy bone in my body resisted the idea of joining, and I wouldn't go against that. I returned to my office, sat down, and sprawled on my desk. My eyes drifted to the countdown on my wrist. The three years had reduced to two years, and calculating the days before it, I realized they were indeed not up to twelve months anymore.Less than three years...The countdown was still running. Every minute that passed mov

ETHAN"You came." My words came out as a whisper. My eyes lingered on him; even blinking was hard. Leander's gaze also settled on mine. His lips pressed into a thin line, a calm look on his face as he nodded. "Hm. I'm here." "I'm here," the word echoed repeatedly in my ears. It was like a saving code, forcefully pushing back every discomfort and anxiousness in my chest. A hint of excitement showed in my eyes as I stepped toward him and smiled brightly. "Thanks for coming to my birthday, Mr Leander." I kept up the facade. Leander looked at me. He nodded without saying a word. He turned to look at Vesper, and the two stared at each other silently. Vesper had always been scared of his father. He was the type who would go obediently and quietly before his father, and this time wasn't any different. He had his hands at his sides, standing upright as he looked at his dad with a serious expression. Leander stepped forward. He approached the only single-seater in the room and sat d

ETHANThey entered the elevator, and Gabriel pressed the button for the right floor. Vesper had his arm wrapped around my waist while he tried his best to keep his breathing steady. His face had turned bright red. His lips chapped. He rested on the wall, pulling on his shirt as if he wanted to tear it off. The ride down inside the elevator was as awkward as it could be. My eyes darted around from Vesper to Nick and then to Leander, who was standing at the side with his eyes slightly closed. I had no idea what he was feeling. Yet the coldness that loomed inside the elevator made me involuntarily shiver. Embarrassment clawed at my chest. It was as if I had been caught doing bad things. Maybe it was because I had plotted against his son right in front of him. He must be upset, right?No matter what, Leander might still favor his son more than he favored a business partner like me, right?My lips pursed, and a frown settled on my face. "We are here." Gabriel's voice rang in my ear
