บททั้งหมดของ THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT: บทที่ 151 - บทที่ 160

RykerI stood to my feet. “Are you serious right now, Chase?“A humorless scoff slipped from his lips. “Do I look like I'm joking?“He didn't, and that's the problem.“You're going to divorce me without even listening to what I have to say?“ I asked. “Is that how fickle your love is?“His jaw tightened. “Fickle? You're the one I found in bed with another man! In our marital home!““And I told you, I don't remember how that happened!“ I yelled back. “One minute we were at the company diner, and the next thing I know, we woke up in bed. But I've told you countless times that nothing happened.““For God's sake, Ryker, you were naked!“ Chase shouted, bursting into tears. “You both were...“Crossing the bedroom, I pulled Chase into my arms. “I know you're having a hard time believing what you saw, but I would never cheat on you.“Leaning back, Chase broke out of my grasp, tilting my neck to the side. “What is this?“My brows knitted together. “Is there anything there?“I watched his expres

Chase“You could be overthinking things, Chase,” Scarlett said over the phone. “Ryker would never do something like that to you.”I leaned back against the chair, rubbing my temple. “I want to believe that, but—”“I know it's hard not to believe the things you saw, but you know Ryker,” she cut in. “Give him the benefit of the doubt.”I heard a knock against my door. “Thanks for the advice. I have to go now. It looks like my next client has arrived.”Hanging up, I answered, “Come in.”The door was thrown open as Evelyn strolled in, pulling a person with a black sack bag over his head along with her.I blinked. “Evelyn, what are you doing here?”“I'm trying to fix your marriage, which should be none of my business, but for some reason, it turned out to be,” she said, lowering the person down onto the chair across from me and taking off the bag from his head.Patting his face, she jolted him awake. “Wake up, Oliver. I didn't drag you away to sleep your ass off.”Opening his eyes, Oliver

RykerLater that evening, when I got back home from work, my gaze swept across the living room area, searching for any sign of Chase, but he was nowhere to be found.I didn't know whether to feel relieved that I wouldn't have to break the promotion news to him just yet or disappointed because he had promised to get home before me, and I had been looking forward to seeing him.Ascending the stairs into the bedroom, I halted by the door as I saw Chase dressed in a see-through getup, splayed across the bed, biting onto a stem of a red rose, with rose petals scattered across the sheets and scented candles decorating the tabletop.“What is all this?” I asked, drinking in every bit of the sight before me.“I told you we'd pick off from where we left off at my office when I get home, didn't I?” Chase asked in a low, husky voice.“You did, but I certainly wasn't expecting...this.”He leaned back against the headboard, exposing more skin on his leg. “Why? You don't like it?” Sitting at the ed

Chase“No!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, tears trickling down my cheeks. “Father, please!” Cedric shrugged, dangling his phone in my face. “Too bad, son. The call is already disconnected.” “Call him back!” “I could, but I don't want to.” Cedric walked over, pulling a nearby chair in front of me and lowering himself onto it. “Now, what to do with you?” He clicked his tongue, pulling out a pistol from beneath his belt. “The plan was to give you a slow torture. Should I wait until Fletcher sends back pictures of the blown-up plane or end your sorrow right now?” The front door burst open. Adrian stood at the entrance with a gun pointed at my father, flanked by two cops. “The only one whose sorry ends here is yours, Cedric,” he said. “Drop your weapon. You're all surrounded.” Standing to his feet, my father turned around. “You were quick to catch me.” “That's because you finally stepped out from whoever you were hiding,” Adrian replied, looking over to me. “Are you alright,

Chase“Get out, now!” Rion shouted, shoving me out of the bedroom. “You can already see the state she’s in. Yet, you decided to aggravate her temper!”Ryker stepped in between us. “Uncle, that’s enough. I know you’re upset, but that doesn’t give you the right to shove my person like that.”Rion's expression darkened. It was obvious he was boiling with rage and barely able to hold back, so I tugged Ryker's arm. “That’s enough, Ryker,” I cautioned. “Rion has every reason to be angry.”I bowed. “Once again, I apologize and thank you for letting me see Pearl.”His hardened jaw didn’t relax. “I know you meant well, but for Pearl’s sake, this will be the last time you are allowed to step foot inside this house. Seeing you alone was enough to make her have a panic attack. Not again.”“I understand. Let’s go, honey.”Without saying another word, Ryker allowed himself to be dragged along by me.Inside the car, he asked, “Do you want to talk about it?”I looked out the car window. “I keep thin
