บททั้งหมดของ Divorced on Our Wedding Night: บทที่ 161 - บทที่ 170

The room did not change. The screens still glowed. The system still moved. But something inside it had shifted in a way that could not be undone. Not because of the data. Not because of the access. Because of Avelyn. She stood at the center of it now, not physically, but in a way that mattered far more. Every line, every connection, every hidden layer they no longer felt distant or separate. They felt… responsive. Not obedient. Not controlled. But aware. Lucas noticed it first, even before he fully understood it. “The system isn’t just opening anymore,” he said slowly. “It’s stabilizing around you.” Tan frowned. “What does that mean?” Lucas shook his head slightly. “I don’t know. It’s like… it’s adjusting to her presence.” Cassian didn’t speak. Because he had already seen it. Already felt it. Avelyn didn’t react outwardly. But she felt it too. A subtle shift. A quiet alignment. As if something that had been waiting Had finally found its point. “This is what con

The silence that followed Aurora’s last message was not empty. It was full of calculation. Not just from Aurora, but from everything connected to the system that had just changed. The framework still existed, the structure still held, but the invisible pressure that once guided every decision had disappeared. What remained was something unfamiliar, even to those who had built it. Choice. Unfiltered. Unforced. Unpredictable. Avelyn stood still, her eyes fixed on the interface even as the connection with Aurora faded into a quiet, watchful presence. It wasn’t gone. It was waiting. Lucas was the first to speak again, his voice lower than before, more careful. “The external systems are reacting faster now.” Tan turned slightly toward him. “Define reacting.” Lucas didn’t look up from the data. “Decisions are diverging. Things that used to align automatically… aren’t anymore. People are choosing differently.” Cassian’s gaze shifted from Avelyn to the screens. “And the outcomes?” L

The signal did not behave like anything they had seen before. It was not loud. It did not spike or trigger alerts. It moved quietly, almost carefully, as if it understood the system it came from and knew how to pass through it without resistance. Lucas’s hands moved quickly over the console, his focus narrowing with each passing second. “It’s spreading in layers,” he said. “Not straight out. It’s bouncing between nodes first.” Tan leaned forward slightly. “So it’s hiding its path.” Lucas shook his head. “Not hiding. More like… building it.” Cassian’s gaze hardened. “That’s worse.” Avelyn didn’t speak immediately. Her eyes followed the movement of the signal, tracing its pattern, not just where it went but how it chose to move. “This isn’t random,” she said quietly. Tan glanced at her. “You keep saying that.” Avelyn didn’t look away from the screen. “Because it’s true.” A pause. Then she added, “It’s choosing where to go.” Lucas frowned. “Signals don’t choose.” Avelyn’s v

The words did not fade from the screen.They stayed there, simple and quiet, yet heavier than anything that had come before.I want to see what happens next.Avelyn did not move.Her eyes remained fixed on the interface, but her mind was no longer only on the system. It was on the meaning behind those words. Not control. Not force. Observation.Something had been watching from the moment the system lost its grip.And now it had stepped forward.Behind her, Lucas shifted slightly, his voice low. “I don’t like that.”Tan nodded. “Yeah. That’s not exactly comforting.”Cassian said nothing at first. His attention stayed on Avelyn, not the screen. He wasn’t focused on what the entity had said.He was watching how she reacted.Avelyn finally spoke. “You’re not here to interfere.”It wasn’t a question.The response came after a short pause.“No.”Avelyn nodded once, as if confirming something she already suspected.“Then you’re not here to take control either.”“No.”Lucas exhaled softly. “T

The system did not demand their attention anymore.It remained active, alive in its own quiet way, but it no longer pulled them in or forced their focus. For the first time since everything began, it felt like something that could exist without them standing at its center every second.Avelyn noticed it immediately.The silence was different now.Not heavy.Not tense.Just… open.She stepped away from the console fully this time, her movements unhurried, her posture relaxed in a way it hadn’t been before. The glow of the screens faded behind her as she moved toward the edge of the room.Lucas let out a long breath and leaned back in his chair. “I think… that’s it. For now.”Tan nodded slowly. “Yeah. Nothing’s spiking. No new signals. No sudden changes.”Cassian didn’t respond.His attention had already shifted.He watched Avelyn.She had stopped near the window, her gaze resting somewhere beyond the glass, though there was nothing visible outside except darkness and the faint reflecti
