My Ex And His Daddy's Obsession のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Richard’s black car finally drove through the mansion gates just as dusk began to fall. Manhattan was gloomy; the sky was covered in thick clouds, accompanied by cold winds that swept dry leaves across the asphalt. The moment Aurora stepped out of the car, Hugo was already walking quickly toward them with worry clearly etched across his face.“How’s Ethan?” Richard asked immediately, handing the car keys to another servant without wasting any time.Hugo bowed respectfully. “He still has a fever, Sir. And since earlier... he still refuses to eat.”Aurora flinched slightly. Still hasn’t eaten?An uncomfortable feeling suddenly spread through her chest. No matter how hard she tried to deny it, the worry still found its way in.Richard strode toward the upper floor, followed by Aurora trailing behind while gripping the strap of her small bag tightly. The mansion felt unfamiliar in its silence. There was no booming music from Ethan’s room, no

Richard stood frozen in front of the glass window of the VIP ward, gazing at his mother's helpless figure lying behind a pile of medical equipment. The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor was the only melody in the silent and cold room. Nana's head was wrapped in a white bandage that contrasted with her silver hair, while her right leg was fitted with a sturdy brace due to the hard impact when she fell in the bathroom.Richard looked completely stripped of his rigid dignity. The man rubbed his face roughly, then exhaled a long breath laden with burdens. The black suit that had wrapped his well-built body since morning now looked crumpled and limp, reflecting the physical and mental exhaustion he bore from having to face Ethan's and his mother's conditions at the same time.The doctor, who had just finished conducting the observation, came out of the room carrying a thick medical file."How is my mother's actual condition?" Richard asked without further ado, his v

Ethan's black sports car pulled up smoothly in front of the main gate of Aurora's campus. That morning, Manhattan was blanketed in warm sunlight; a stark contrast to the atmosphere inside the car cabin, which felt suffocating and stiff. A few college students could be seen passing by hurriedly, yet Aurora actually felt reluctant to get out immediately, as if the car door were the only protection from a more complicated reality.Throughout the journey, Ethan remained silent. He drove with one hand, while his other hand occasionally massaged his stomach, which still felt sore. Even though his face was still pale, his sharp gaze still didn't leave Aurora's figure whenever there was an opportunity.As soon as the car engine died, Aurora immediately grabbed her bag with a quick movement. "I'm getting out.""Rory." Ethan's low and hoarse call stopped her movement.Aurora turned around slowly, finding the man leaning against the leather seat, staring at her with an intensity that was hard to

The rain was still falling heavily, creating a curtain of water that blurred the view as Ethan's black sports car finally came to a smooth stop in the basement area of his private apartment. The lights of Manhattan city glowing in the distance only reflected faintly on the car windows that were covered in water droplets. Inside the soundproof cabin, the atmosphere felt so hot and suffocating, as if the oxygen had been completely burned up by their irregular breathing. Aurora rested her head against the leather seat, her chest rising and falling quickly; she was truly having a hard time just thinking clearly after that long and demanding kiss earlier under the tree.As soon as the car engine died and silence took over, Ethan did not get out immediately. Instead, the man turned around, staring at Aurora with an intensity capable of melting any defense.That gaze had completely changed.There were no more remnants of anger or hatred that he had been using as a shield all this time. Now,

The drizzle was still faithfully wetting the Manhattan asphalt as the taxi carrying Aurora sped along the streets that were beginning to clear out. The city lights glowing behind the window glass looked blurry, blending with the stream of tears that continuously fell from Aurora's eyes. She sat curled up in the back seat, hugging herself as if trying to gather the pieces of her soul that she had just destroyed herself. Her body felt shattered, that foreign pain still remained, but the ache in her chest was far more torturous.Her pale fingers trembled violently, gripping the damp skirt that was still clinging to her thighs. She had truly leapt over the boundary that she had been guarding with great effort all this time. She had fallen into a pit that she dug herself.Aurora covered her mouth with both hands, trying to stifle the sobs that were breaking out. Her breath hitched, creating a thin vapor in the cold air of the car cabin. The taxi driver occasionally glanced from the rearvie
