All Chapters of Choose Me Too Late: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

“Calix, let him go.”Raven’s warning barely registered.Calix still had Kester by the collar, his grip tight enough to wrinkle the man’s shirt beneath his fists.Kester glared at him. “What the fuck is your problem? Let go!”Calix closed his eyes for a second and forced himself to breathe.He didn’t come here to fight.There was only one thing he wanted.One answer.He opened his eyes and stared directly at Kester.“Where’s Nihan’s hometown?”Kester’s brows pulled together.For a moment, he simply stared at Calix.Then realization slowly crossed his face.And a smug smile followed.“Did she leave you?”Calix’s jaw tightened.“I’m asking you a question.”“And I’m not obligated to answer.”Kester’s smile widened.“I see what happened now. Nihan finally came to her senses. She realized being with you would bring her nothing but problems.”Calix’s grip tightened.Kester noticed, but instead of stopping, he kept pushing.“Nihan probably got tired of you, Calix. Hell, it’s exhausting just b

Nihan had survived her first day at the rehab center without thinking about Calix every five minutes.Considering everything happening in his life because of her, she counted that as a small victory.“Good work today.”She lifted her head.Jerome placed a juice box in front of her.“You deserve something sweet.”Nihan stared at it for a moment before accepting it with a small smile.“Thanks.”She slipped it into her bag and stood.Her first day had gone much better than she expected.Most of her patients were elderly, though the center also treated local athletes and people recovering from minor injuries and dislocations. With only two doctors, the facility focused mainly on trauma recovery and rehabilitation. Anything more serious was sent to the hospital.The work kept Nihan busy.She needed that.Especially after more articles about Calix appeared that morning.Every new headline made her want to return to the city, march into Lucy’s office, and demand an explanation.They had made

“Just go play with your friends, Fred.”Nihan sighed across the dinner table.Despite all his complaining earlier, Fred had never gone to play hockey.Instead, he had stayed home and spent the entire evening questioning her about Calix.“How am I supposed to play when there’s still a huge elephant in the room?”Nihan already knew what was coming.“Why the heck is Calix Godwin here?”She ran a hand through her hair.“I already told you.”And she had.After Calix refused to leave the porch, Nihan had finally given her family a shortened version of what happened in Manhattan.She didn’t tell them everything.They didn’t need to know every painful detail.But she admitted that something had happened between her and Calix.She also told them about Lucy.How Lucy had offered to continue protecting Calix if Nihan walked a

“What a beautiful scene.”Calix looked up to find Fred standing in the middle of the living room with his arms crossed and an amused grin on his face.“For a second, I thought I was watching The Notebook.”Calix glanced at Nihan.Her cheeks were bright red, and even the tip of her nose had turned pink. She looked so adorable that he couldn’t stop himself from gently squeezing her hand. Their fingers naturally intertwined again.

Nihan pinched herself.Once.Then twice.She wasn’t dreaming.Her damp clothes sitting on top of the washer were proof enough that everything from last night had actually happened.Every single second of it.Calix had come for her.He had told her he loved her.And she had finally told him she loved him too.Nihan buried her face in her pillow and screamed into it.Then she kicked her legs against the mattress like a teenager with her first crush.A few seconds later, she froze.What was happening to her?She slowly lifted her face from the pillow.“Oh my gosh.”She was losing her mind.And somehow, she didn’t hate it.Nihan got out of bed and washed her face.Normally, she barely cared how she looked first thing in the morning.Today was different.Calix was here.In her house.She stared at herself in the
