Semua Bab Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again: Bab 221 - Bab 230

(Fabian's POV)I looked into her eyes for a long moment before letting out a slow breath."Susan just called," I said quietly."Susan?" Vivian asked, her brows furrowing.I nodded. "Steve's mother."Her expression changed immediately, and she folded her arms tightly across her chest."What does she want now?" she asked.Some days ago, during one of our deep conversations about our families, I had told her about Susan and everything that had been happening recently. But I hadn't told her that we met her today."Actually... she's leaving," I said quietly.Vivian's brows shot up in disbelief."Really? She came here to cause trouble, and now she's leaving already?" she asked. "Just like that? Is this another trick of hers?"A small smile formed on my lips as I gently wrapped my arms around her waist."I went to see her today, and we made a deal," I said.I started explaining everything that had happened that day. I told her about our confrontation with Susan, the agreement, and even the p

(Delvin's POV)"I see..." he murmured. "So that bastard never ran away after all.""You finally realized that," I said calmly.Simon stared at me for a while. His expression remained as calm as ever, but I could feel the anger burning inside him.Then he let out a quiet chuckle and leaned back deeper into the chair."I must admit," he said quietly, "you got me on that one."I leaned forward, uncrossed my legs, and rested both arms on my thighs.The smile disappeared from my face, replaced by a cold, serious expression.It was time to get straight to the point. There was no need to beat around the bush anymore."Why did you do it?" I asked, my voice completely void of emotion.Simon's lips slowly curved into a smile.He leaned forward as well and looked straight into my eyes."Which one?" he asked, the smile still resting on his lips. "Are you talking about why I hired that man? Or why I had someone tamper with your brakes... or all the other things I did before that?"I already knew h

(Delvin's POV)"What made him more deserving for the presidency position than me?" he asked, pointing at me.Then he turned back to Grandpa."Wasn't that why you sent me away? So he could inherit the company smoothly without me getting in the way?"Grandpa said nothing, because he couldn't deny it. "I am the first son!" he shouted, his voice echoing throughout the room. "I am a Barrington too!""But you're illegitimate," one of my cousins whispered.The entire room went completely silent because everyone knew the truth too well.Simon could never inherit such an important position in the Barrington family because, legally, he was not considered part of the family. He only shared our blood.Simon's eyes widened as he stared at my cousin, as if he couldn't believe someone had actually said it out loud.Even though he already knew that was the reason, he had never expected anyone to be brave enough to openly say it.Grandpa finally let out a tired sigh, clearly overwhelmed by everything

(Caren's POV)I blinked, surprised that I had been lost in my thoughts for so long.Andrea arranged the food on the dining table and pulled out a chair for me.It was a gentlemanly gesture he never forgot, no matter where we were."Thank you," I said with a smile as I sat down.Then he served the food onto my plate.It didn't look very appetising, but I knew food didn't always taste as bad or as good as it looked.I gave him a warm smile and picked up my cutlery.Andrea sat opposite me, watching eagerly as he waited for me to take the first bite.I did.Of course I did.But the moment the food touched my tongue, I didn't know whether to chew it, swallow it, or spit it out."How is it, love?" he asked, his eyes shining with excitement.Oh my goodness. Did you use all the salt in the world to make this?Those were my first thoughts, but I couldn't say them out loud.He had put so much effort into making this meal, and I didn't want to hurt him with such a harsh review.I was sure he wou

(Fabian's POV)"Mr. Jonah Haldane?" he whispered."Yes," I answered gently. "I followed the map carefully, and it brought us here... to your house."Mr. Hale stared at us for a while, confusion flashing across his face."May I ask why you're looking for that man?" he asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.The look on his face told me he probably knew Mr. Jonah.And if he did, then his question made perfect sense.I didn't expect him to give us information about the former occupant without knowing why we were looking for him."He's... um..." I licked my lips, unsure how to explain it."He's my mum's husband," Andrea blurted out casually as if he were talking about the weather.I pressed my lips together, defeated by his bluntness.Did he really have to say it like that? What did he think he was, still ten years old?Mr. Hale's mouth fell open, and his eyes widened in shock."What did you say?" he asked, looking even more confused.I let out a sigh and opened my mouth to explain, but once
