All Chapters of Choose Me Too Late: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Calix woke to the sound of soft rustling.He slowly opened his eyes and found Nihan searching through the bedside table.Her eyes widened when she realized he was awake.“You still have fifteen minutes,” she whispered. “Go back to sleep, Calix.”“What are you doing?”“I’m looking for my small bag. I packed breakfast for you and Fred to eat on the road.”Calix watched her slow, sleepy movements and pressed his lips together.She had forced herself out of bed before four in the morning just to prepare his breakfast.He reached for her wrist and gently pulled her toward him.A surprised sound escaped Nihan as she fell back onto the bed. Calix wrapped his arms around her from behind, preventing her from getting up again.“It’s your day off,” he whispered near her ear. “You should be sleeping.”“I only need to pack the food. It won’t take long.” She tried to move, but his arms tightened around her. “Then I’ll send you and Fred off.”Calix stared at the back of her head.How could anyone be

“Honey, your phone keeps lighting up,” Hannah said as she placed a bowl of popcorn on the table.Nihan glanced at her phone.The messages came from the reunion group chat she had recently joined. It had been active all day. Some of her former classmates had already greeted her and tried to start conversations.Nihan had not replied.She knew who most of those people were, but she did not truly know them. Yet they were suddenly acting as if they had always been close.She picked up her phone and read the latest messages.Everyone was excited about the reunion.Their excitement only made Nihan more nervous.She muted the group chat and turned her attention back to the television. The two hockey teams were about to enter the rink.“Undefeated so far, the team that dominated its bracket and earned its place in the semifinals, the Edmonton Dreams!”The players skated onto the ice with confidence.Even through the television, Nihan could feel their powerful energy. Her heart began pounding

Calix stared at the clock.One minute remained before the third period.Beside the clock was the score.Six to one.They were five goals behind. They needed five goals to tie the game and six to win. Worse, they could not allow the Dreams to score again.Calix looked at his teammates.Most of them appeared tired and frustrated. The first two periods had destroyed their confidence, and none of them had played at their best.Kester suddenly stopped beside him.“If you win, I’ll leave Nihan alone.”Calix slowly turned toward him.Kester finally met his eyes, wearing a satisfied smirk.“I’ve been thinking about it,” Kester continued. “Nihan is the best woman I’ve ever met. She did everything for me, even when I told her not to.”Calix clenched his fists but controlled his temper.“Honestly, I miss her,” Kester admitted. “I regret breaking up with her.”His smirk widened.“Now that she’s with you, I can’t accept it. So let’s add another condition to our bet.”Calix’s expression hardened.“

“There he is! The man of the hour! No, the man of the evening. The man of the entire season!” Scott shouted the moment he saw Calix.Vhong made loud cheering sounds behind him.Calix sighed and shook his head.“Are you already drunk?”“Who’s drunk?” Scott asked, looking around in confusion. “I don’t see anyone drunk.”The team was celebrating at a private bar Ruztom had rented for the night.Calix had not planned to attend. He needed to leave early in the morning if he wanted to reach Nihan’s reunion on time.But Ruztom had called him and talked endlessly about team spirit. He had even threatened to pick Calix up himself and bother him all night if he refused.Spending one hour at the party seemed easier than dealing with that.Calix had called Nihan before leaving. She had simply told him to enjoy himself and be careful.For some reason, her calm response had disappointed him.Was he crazy for wanting her to ask him not to go?Or to show even a little jealousy?He quickly dismissed t

The uncomfortable silence that had filled the hall while Carmen insulted Nihan changed into complete shock.Even Nihan could not believe Calix had arrived at that exact moment.His hand slipped into hers, pulling her back to reality.“You’re here?” she managed to ask.Calix nodded.“I’m sorry I’m late.”“You shouldn’t have rushed.”Nihan instinctively patted his shoulder.The moment her hand touched him, Calix flinched.It was a small reaction, but she noticed it.Her eyes narrowed.“I became stiff from driving for so long,” he quickly explained.“Calix,” Nihan warned softly.She did not believe him.Before she could question him further, Carmen hurried toward them.“Calix Godwin, hello!” she greeted with a bright smile. “I’m Carmen Madden. I’m the woman who sent you
