All Chapters of Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

(Fabian's POV)The sunlight hit my face first.I slowly opened my eyes, furrowing my brows as I tried to understand where I was.The room looked familiar… but it certainly wasn’t my bedroom.It looked more like the room Vivian had been staying in.My body tensed immediately as I tried to sit up, but something stopped me.There was weight on my arm, like someone was resting on it.I slowly turned my head.And froze.My eyes widened in shock.Vivian was sleeping peacefully, her head resting on my arm like it was the most natural thing in the world.My mind went blank for a moment. When… how did we end up like this?Panic slowly crept into my chest. We were too close. Way too close, the thought made my stomach tighten.I hoped and prayed it wasn't what I was thinking. For my own sanity, it couldn't be.I carefully lifted the blanket slightly, and a quiet sigh of relief escaped my lips.We were still fully dressed.Thank God.But the relief didn’t last long, and it did nothing to calm my

(Fabian's POV)"I had no idea this was what you've been going through all this time," I said quietly, my voice softer than before.Vivian gave a small smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes."I've been trying to act like I'm okay." She paused, then lowered her gaze. "I'm sorry for bothering you with my problems.""No," I said immediately, shaking my head. "You didn't bother me. Not at all."I reached for her hand again and held it firmly. My thumb brushed gently over the back of her hand.Vivian swallowed hard, her eyes dropping to our intertwined hands. Just then I understood, and slowly withdrew my hand.She liked me.And physical contact like this could seem inappropriate.That kind of closeness could confuse her even more. It might feel like I was giving her hope or leading her on without meaning to.The space between us suddenly felt heavier. After a moment, she finally spoke."Thank you so much for listening to me," she said quietly. "I haven't had anyone I could talk to like this

(Delvin's POV)"Are you sure about this, Delvin?" Aliana asked, her voice still filled with uncertainty.This had to be the hundredth time she had asked me that same question since I told her I wanted her to come with me to the family mansion.I was supposed to go there last night to meet with Grandpa, but I couldn't.Today, I had decided to go, but not without Aliana coming with me.I wasn't about to leave her behind. If I had to leave the house for anything, then she would come with me too.She had to be by my side.I had missed her so much that even staying away from her for a few seconds felt unbearable."What if..." she started again."Shhh," I whispered, gently placing a finger over her lips.She stopped, her breathing slowly becoming uneven.I gently cupped her cheeks, my thumbs brushing softly against her skin."Don't say it. Don't even think about it," I said quietly. "Because it's not going to happen. I won't let it happen."She looked up at me, and our eyes met.I knew exac

(Delvin's POV)"If this is about the company, then I see no reason why he should be here," I said quietly, gesturing toward Simon.Simon let out a low chuckle. Grandpa paused for a moment, and my cousins stopped eating, their eyes shifting between us.And Aliana?She remained quiet, too quiet, as if she was afraid that making too much noise would remind everyone she was still sitting at the table, giving them another chance to attack her.I gently smiled at her and placed some food on her plate."Try this, honey. It's delicious," I said, not caring whether anyone was watching.Let them watch."Thank you," she muttered with a small smile.I didn't want her to feel left out or intimidated by anyone. I knew exactly how the Barrington family was.They preyed on the weak.While we were still married, I had always protected her from these wolves without her knowing, but I realised protecting her every time wouldn't make her stronger.If she was going to survive in this family, she had to be

(Aliana's POV)I let out a deep breath as I stepped out of the dining room. I was supposed to wait in the car, just like Delvin had asked, but my mind refused to settle.It kept replaying everything that had happened at the dining table.Grandpa Barrington had invited all his grandsons, including Simon, Delvin's half-brother.I had heard about him before. Delvin had told me about him, but tonight was the first time I had met him face to face.One look was enough to tell they were brothers. The resemblance between them was impossible to miss. Simon was tall like Delvin, with a sharp jawline and the same pair of eyes. But they had completely different styles.According to Delvin, Simon had been sent far away from home many years ago. But now, all of a sudden, Grandpa wanted him to join the company.Not just join... He wanted him to take over Delvin's position."Why?" I muttered to myself.Was the situation at the company really that serious?Didn't Delvin tell me it was only a minor is
