บททั้งหมดของ After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love: บทที่ 291 - บทที่ 300

On the third floor of the hospital, Miles had been living quite comfortably in his room these past few days.Although Lucas had beaten him so badly that he was stuck in bed, Serena came to visit him every day. She even brought him homemade chicken soup.Miles enjoyed her care while doing everything he could to turn her against Lucas.After listening to him for the past few days, Serena’s expression now darkened whenever Lucas’s name came up.Miles was very pleased with himself.His plan had worked beautifully.At the very least, it wouldn’t be easy for Lucas to return to the Owen family now.As for Ethan, who was about to return to Jasper City, Miles already had arrangements in place.A cold look flashed through his eyes.Someone would take care of that problem for him.Knock, knock.Someone knocked on the door, and a nurse’s voice came from outside.“Mr. Owen, sorry to disturb you.”The next moment, the door opened.Two nurses pushed a hospital bed into the room.Miles

Vivian took in every bit of Lucas’s reaction, and her heart eased slightly.It looked like there was more to this engagement than met the eye.Maybe Lucas had his reasons for agreeing to it.“I’m busy tomorrow, so I won’t be able to attend the engagement party. I came today because I wanted to congratulate you in person.”Vivian knew she wasn’t generous enough to watch the man she loved get engaged to another woman.She looked at Lucas with clear eyes, holding back the affection she couldn’t say out loud.“Lucas, take care of yourself. No matter what happens, as long as you ask, I’ll help you.”That was basically a quiet confession.Lucas had loved someone before, so of course he understood what Vivian meant.But he had always been clear about Vivian. To him, she was kind and respectable, but nothing more.He thanked her sincerely.“Thank you, Vivian. I hope everything goes well for you too.”Vivian gave him her usual bright smile, but this time, there was a trace of bitter

Vivian found Fiona’s angry expression a little baffling.Had Fiona not received an invitation?That should have been impossible.The Shaw family held such a high position in Jasper City that there was no way the Quinn family would leave them out.But judging from Fiona’s reaction, it seemed like she really didn’t know Lucas was getting engaged.Did Ivy care that much about Lucas and Fiona’s past?Had she deliberately left Fiona out of the engagement party?When Vivian stayed silent for too long, Fiona lost her patience.Her voice turned cold. “Vivian, I asked you a question. What exactly did you mean by Lucas’s engagement party invitation?”Vivian hated Fiona’s condescending attitude.It wasn’t as if she owed Fiona anything. What gave Fiona the right to order her around?But when Vivian thought about how Lucas hadn’t invited Fiona to his engagement party, an indescribable satisfaction rose in her heart.At least for now, she was closer to Lucas than Fiona was.And for some

Lucas and Kenneth stayed at the restaurant until two in the afternoon.Kenneth had been determined to make Lucas spend a fortune, so he ordered several expensive bottles of wine and drank every last drop.By then, he was completely wasted.Because of the engagement party the next day, Lucas hadn’t touched any alcohol.Kenneth had driven there, so Lucas helped him down to the underground parking garage, planning to drive him home.Kenneth was so drunk he could barely stand. Most of his weight was hanging off Lucas.Lucas supported him into the parking garage, only to find that the lights were out. The place was almost completely dark.Holding Kenneth up with one arm, Lucas took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and started looking for Kenneth’s flashy red sports car.He had only taken a few steps when his eyes turned cold.Without giving anything away, he quietly slowed down.A figure suddenly rushed out from behind one of the parked cars and went straight for the back

Fiona showed almost no reaction after Lucas refused her.She raised her hand, her pale fingers gently brushing over his brows and eyes.When she spoke, her voice was soft, almost like a lover’s whisper.“Lucas, I’ll only force you this one last time. I swear, after this, I’ll never force you again.“I don’t know what kind of dirty trick Ivy Quinn used to make you agree to marry her, but I can’t just stand by and watch you marry another woman.“Marry me instead. Whatever Ivy can give you, I can give you too. You don’t have to worry about her. I’ll handle everything on that side.”Lucas stared at the woman in front of him.The obsession and madness in her dark eyes were completely undisguised. It was suffocating.When had Fiona, who used to be so cold and untouchable, become this terrifying?While Lucas was still stunned, a courthouse clerk walked over with two completed forms in her hand.Lucas glanced down and saw his name on one of them.Even the signature at the bottom loo
