My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can의 모든 챕터: 챕터 171 - 챕터 180

"Is there a 24-hour store nearby? Wait inside, it's not safe walking alone at night," he said. He could tell she'd had more than a few sips, and the idea of her walking alone unsettled him.“I'm still inside the neighborhood. It's a wealthy area, should be safe," she answered lightly.“Then wait at the security booth by the gate. I'll be there soon. Don't wander off, okay?" Lucas said gently.Amelia gave a tinkling laugh when she heard his voice. "You know what? It sounds like you're talking to a child right now."Lucas paused for a moment before saying, "Stay on the line with me. I'm already on my way." He glanced coldly at the driver. "Faster."“I'll send the location…" Amelia began, but her words were cut off when a sports car pulled in front of her, blocking her path.“Hey, gorgeous. You out here all alone?"The sleek sports car rolled to a stop, and the two young men inside let their eyes rake over her without a shred of subtlety. One had the audacity to whistle, loud and crude.A

Confronted with this emotional maze, Lucas felt completely out of his depth.Compared to reviving a collapsing business, love felt like an impossible equation. Then a thought surfaced, Mark. Maybe he'd have some wisdom to offer.***********“You're not moving?" Amelia tilted her head, noticing Lucas’ stillness and blank face. "Planning to stand here until morning?"Snapping out of his trance, Lucas responded with steady composure, "No. Let's head out."“Okay then!" she replied with a nod.He walked ahead and opened the car door for her, gently placing his hand above her head as she stepped in. "Careful. Don't bump your head."She'd had a few drinks, he didn't want her to get hurt from a clumsy moment.Amelia didn't dwell on it and hopped in cheerfully.But the driver, witnessing this small, unexpected gesture, looked completely taken aback.The driver had never witnessed Lucas act with such tender care. If he hadn't been stone-cold sober, he might have questioned his own eyes. Was this

Moss jabbed a finger at the bodyguards, furious and embarrassed. He didn't know who was inside the room, but judging by the security, it had to be someone important.If he hadn't failed to squeeze information about Gifted out of the hospital director, he wouldn't have ended up at this door. He'd found out Gifted had chosen the patient inside to offer treatment.Maybe, just maybe, this patient might be the link he needed to get to Gifted.Moss had slipped the nurse a bribe, hoping to dig up some information. But even after greasing the wheels, he still had no idea who was inside the ward. The nurse had only said it was a handsome, wealthy man, rescued personally by Gifted.Moss figured it was just some rich guy. What he didn't realize was that he was standing at the edge of a world far beyond his own.“Do you even know who I am? Step aside if you know what's good for you!" Moss snapped at the bodyguards stationed at the doorway of the ward, trying to assert his authority. He was despera

Fear crept into Alexa's chest. She glanced sideways at her husband, desperate for assistance. "Darling…"But the moment Alexa turned, she froze. Moss was staring at Amelia, not with anger, but with unmasked desire, eyes practically ablaze.Alexa's stomach turned. She had endured his infidelities before and had battled women off him more times than she could count. Yet, never had she felt this unease, a dread that clawed at her bones.Her son, once her only and most valuable leverage, had been shattered by the very woman now drawing her husband's attention like a magnet.She dreaded the scenario where Amelia bore Moss a child. If that happened, she and Ford would be nothing but shadows in the Glyn family's legacy. No. She couldn't let that happen. Alarm surged through her like wildfire.“This vile woman has made it impossible for our family to continue its legacy! Honey, you must stand up for Ford!" Alexa wailed, her arrogance replaced by tears and a pitiful plea for sympathy.Moss blin

Without waiting for a response, he turned and walked away.Later that day, Amelia’s phone buzzed with a message from Desmond, instructing her to meet at a specific location.She followed his instructions, only to be greeted by two massive bodyguards looming by the entrance. One stepped forward and addressed her formally, "Miss Brown, Mr. Miller sent us. We'll be protecting you until the banquet."At first, Amelia considered dismissing them, but then a thought made her pause. It looked like that stubborn Desmond actually had a soft spot after all.She decided to accept his gesture and let them stay.**********A few days slipped by before Amelia made her entrance at the Miller family's estate, dressed to stun in a pristine white gown for Xavier’s birthday celebration. At the front, an attendant stood ready, accepting each guest's gift and ushering them inside.Layla stepped into the grand entryway and immediately noted Amelia, who stood out among the crowd, radiant and impossible to mis
