Too Late to Win Me Back, Mr. Ex! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 191 - チャプター 200

“Give me back my phone, Lucas.”Auri’s voice was flat and cold.She stood at the entrance of the luxurious house that had once been her home. She had no intention of stepping any farther inside. She only came for her phone.Lucas stood in front of her with slumped shoulders. His appearance looked disheveled, dark shadows hanging heavily beneath his eyes as though he hadn’t slept at all. Without saying a word, he turned and disappeared briefly into the bedroom before returning with Auri’s phone in his hand.“Aurel…” Lucas began softly, his voice rough with restrained emotion. “Come home. I miss you. We can fix this. We can go back to the way things were before.”Auri accepted the phone, the cold metal pressing against her palm. She looked at Lucas quietly.This was the man she had once seen as her protector.Now, he looked like a stranger who had shattered her trust with his

“Auri, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Stop imagining things.”Ethan’s voice remained calm and even, as though there wasn’t a single ounce of guilt weighing on his shoulders.Auri chose not to answer.She slowly intertwined her fingers on top of the café table, trying to steady the storm raging inside her chest. Her mind was still stuck on Lucas’s abrupt departure, replaying every detail over and over again. Something felt terribly wrong.The panic in Lucas’s expression had looked real.And Ethan’s faint smile when Lucas rushed out of the café…That smile had pushed Auri’s suspicion to its limit.“Why are you so quiet, Auri?” Ethan leaned forward slightly, his gaze softening with carefully crafted concern. “Do you still suspect me?” He sighed faintly. “It seems Lucas is dealing with something very serious. He lo

“I’m innocent! I swear to God, I’ve been framed! Give me back my phone, I just want to talk to my wife!”Lucas shouted in frustration, slamming his fists against the iron bars confining him inside the detention cell. His breathing came fast and uneven, his face burning red with panic and rage.The police officer standing guard outside the cell didn’t even blink.“All personal belongings have been confiscated during the investigation process, Mr. Lucas,” the officer replied flatly. “At this time, you are not permitted to communicate with anyone outside, including your wife. Please remain calm and cooperate with procedure.”“Calm?” Lucas laughed bitterly, gripping the bars so tightly his hands turned white. “How am I supposed to stay calm when I don’t even know what my wife is going through right now?!” His voice cracked with desperation. “Just one phone call… p

“Like I said before, maybe they missed them.” Safia shrugged lightly. “But don’t worry. I already locked all the files I gave you.” She pointed subtly toward Auri’s phone. “Don’t forget the password I sent you through text earlier.”Then she glanced at her watch and stood up quickly.“I need to get back to the office before lunch break ends.” Her expression turned serious again. “Promise me something, Auri.” She leaned closer. “You need to be careful. Ethan Harrow has enough money and power to twist the truth however he wants.”Auri nodded sincerely.“I promise, Safia.” Her eyes softened with gratitude. “Thank you so much.” Then she added quietly, “You be careful too.”After Safia left, Auri remained seated for a moment in silence.She looked down at her phone screen, rereading the password code Safia had sent her. Fo

Auri’s chest tightened.“I lost my world, Auri.” Ethan’s fingers tightened gently around hers. “And I promised myself I would do anything to fix my mistakes.” His eyes glistened faintly. “I want to become the husband who stands in front of you and protects you no matter what.”“But not by destroying Lucas, Ethan!” Auri pulled her face away, struggling to breathe beneath the overwhelming tenderness Ethan wrapped around his cruelty. “You deliberately framed him so you’d have a reason to throw him in prison!”Yet Ethan didn’t get angry.Instead, he smiled softly again.A loving smile.Beautiful enough to make his sins seem almost invisible.Carefully, he guided Auri toward the sofa, treating her with such gentleness it felt almost surreal.“I won’t stop you from being angry at me,” Ethan said calmly after she sat down. His voice r
