Too Late to Win Me Back, Mr. Ex! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 201 - チャプター 210

Her voice cracked again.“And meanwhile, you stand here…” She laughed bitterly through tears. “The very first thing you do after stepping foot back into this house is accuse me of making dirty deals?!”Lucas froze briefly after hearing Auri’s hysterical outburst.But the inferiority and humiliation that had already poisoned his mind refused to let logic in.Instead of apologizing, instead of admitting he had crossed a line, Lucas turned his face away stubbornly.His shattered pride wouldn’t allow him to surrender.“Then explain this miracle to me, Aurel!” Lucas shot back harshly, his voice no quieter than hers now. “The people attacking me would never release me unless they gained something huge in return!”His breathing grew rougher.“They let me out on purpose just to humiliate me!” he shouted bitterly. “To show me that I’m useless!&rdq

 “So it’s true? Ethan took Junior to his house this morning? Without you or me there with him?”Lucas’s voice thundered through Nocture the second he walked in. He hadn’t even taken off his jacket yet. His eyes locked onto Auri, who sat behind her desk, while the anger inside him boiled harder with every second since hearing the news about Junior being picked up.Auri looked up at him, her expression calm. “Yeah. Ethan picked him up at nine this morning. And he specifically didn’t want me there.”“And you let him?!” Lucas slammed his palm against the wooden desk, the loud bang echoing through the room. “You just did whatever he wanted? The hearing is tomorrow, Aurel! He doesn’t have full custody yet! Why didn’t you call me? I could’ve come and stopped him!”“For what, Lucas?” Auri leaned back against her chair, her voice flat but cold. &ldquo

“Witness, could you explain once again what kind of environment the child would face if raised by the Defendant?”Arthur Vance’s voice rang clearly through the courtroom. He stood tall with absolute confidence, his sharp gaze fixed on the child psychologist seated at the witness stand. At the Plaintiff’s table, Ethan sat upright in an expensive tailored suit, a faint victorious smile lingering on his face ever since the hearing had begun.“Based on our analysis,” the expert witness began after clearing his throat and adjusting the microphone in front of him, “an emotionally unstable environment surrounded by temperamental individuals is extremely harmful to a child’s psychological development.”“And this temperamental figure you’re referring to…” Arthur Vance slowly turned toward the Defendant’s side of the courtroom, deliberately looking straight at Lucas, who sat beside Auri.

“Objection, Your Honor! We have digital evidence proving that the defendant has unstable emotional behavior.” Arthur Vance slammed his palm against the wooden podium. “The defendant is incapable of providing a safe environment for the child. Leaving the boy with him is no different from placing him inside a ticking time bomb!”Across the courtroom, Lucas’s lawyer shot to his feet, his face burning red with anger. “That’s a manipulative accusation, Mr. Vance! If we’re going to talk about toxic environments, then perhaps we should take a look at your own client first!” He pointed directly at Ethan. “The plaintiff’s behavior is far worse! He used his money and power to manipulate my client into suffering massive financial losses!”“Watch your words! My client is only fighting for his rights as the child’s biological father!” Arthur snapped back.“A biological father who

"Don't run around, June! You'll get tired, sweetheart!"Auri's voice was instantly drowned out by the roar of the ocean breeze that morning. Yet the tiny footsteps ahead of her didn't slow down in the slightest. The little boy, who now had a new nickname, simply burst into giggles, deliberately stomping his chubby feet across the wet sand."Ma! Ma!" Junior called out cheerfully, his sand-covered fingers pointing at a small crab that scurried quickly into its hole.Auri quickened her pace, then crouched down to match her son's height. Her index finger moved to wipe the beads of sweat from Junior's forehead. Living in a small town far from everything made life feel as though it moved at a slower pace.Their new life now revolved around a modest house. It stood only a few dozen meters from the shoreline, completely isolated from the center of town. There was no luxury in that house, but the atmosphere was far more peaceful.The money from selling Noct
