No Longer Mine의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

Connor’s eyes flickered, and his voice stiffened slightly. “I did send her out of town, but her mother fell critically ill recently and was on the brink of death. As a daughter, is she not supposed to come back and take care of her? That’s her mother, for goodness sake.”Eliza found it completely absurd. “So you tacitly allowed her to come back, allowed her to get close to our children, and even… allowed them to call her Mommy? Connor, do you take me for a fool?”“Don’t make it sound so bad!” Connor’s brow furrowed even more. “I was the one at fault. I failed you, I was unfaithful to our marriage, and I caught feelings for Sofia. Sofia didn’t do anything wrong. The kids have a great relationship with her because she’s working as a piano teacher right now. “When we were picking a piano teacher for Leo and Maya last time, they picked Sofia themselves from a stack of teacher profiles. After I promised you I’d return to the family, I cut off that kind of relationship with her. We haven

The voice on the other end of the line faltered noticeably. “A war correspondent? Eliza, why so suddenly? It’s risky out there! Active combat, bullets flying everywhere, and not to mention the brutal living conditions. You’re a young woman–”“It was my dream back in college,” Eliza said softly. “It’s just that… because of my family, I put it on hold. Now, I want to fulfill it.”“But you have a husband, two kids, and a happy family. Why take such a risk? Even if you want to go, your family would never agree to it!”Eliza smiled bleakly.“Mr. Fox, I’m preparing for a divorce. The children… will go with their father. My mind is made up.”There was a long silence on the other end of the line. Mr. Fox was clearly stunned by the news.Eventually, Mr. Fox sighed. “Well, that is your personal affairs, so it’s not my place to pry. Since you’ve decided… Alright. I’ll submit your application to upper management. Rest up and recover over the next few days, get everything in order, and prepar

Seeing Eliza’s face rapidly turn purple and her breathing become ragged and labored, the children finally seemed frightened. They let go, dropped the handkerchief, and fled the room in sheer panic.“Cough, cough… Cough, cough, cough!” Eliza began to cough violently as she desperately gasped for air. However, her airway was already swollen, and every breath was accompanied by a terrifying wheezing sound!Medicine… Her allergy medicine!She stumbled out of bed, fumbling blindly as she tried to open her nightstand drawer, where she usually kept an emergency allergy inhaler.As soon as she found it, she pulled out the inhaler with trembling hands, only for the bedroom door to slam open again with a bang. Leo and Maya had turned back!Seeing the inhaler in Eliza’s hands, Leo’s eyes went wide, and he rushed forward to snatch it.“You think you can use her inhaler? No way! You have to suffer to learn your lesson! That way, you won’t bully Sofia ever again!”“Give it back to me… Cou

Suicide?Eliza slowly lifted her head and looked at the furious man in front of her. She found the entire situation absurd and ironic.The corners of her mouth twitched, her voice flat and completely devoid of emotion. “First, I didn’t sell anything to the paparazzi. Second, she posted that video on her own public social media. If she was brave enough to post it, why is she scared of people talking?”“You–” Connor was so enraged by her unyielding attitude that the veins on his forehead bulged. “Eliza! Will you only be satisfied once you’ve backed her into a corner? Sofia is sweet and too naive to play any manipulative games! All she did was share a post on her own account. It was you! You’re so wicked that you leaked that video! Now the whole world is calling her a homewrecker! How is she supposed to show her face ever again?”Eliza looked at him coldly. “Is she a homewrecker or not? Don’t you know the answer to that better than anyone?”“She and I are innocent!” Connor roared in

Sofia’s smile froze for a second. Then, she lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice, “I saw how late it was and that you hadn’t returned, so I was worried. The kids were already asleep, and I thought… I’d wait until you returned before leaving.”“There’s no need. If it gets late in the future, just head back first. It’s not easy getting a cab around here, so I’ll have the driver take you home.” Connor rubbed his temples as he walked upstairs, sounding exhausted.“Connor…” Sofia called out to him from behind, her voice tinged with resentment. “Do you… not want to see me? Because Eliza left, do you think I forced her away?”Connor paused in his tracks, but he did not turn around.“It has nothing to do with you. It’s late. Go home and get some rest.”What he did not see was Sofia’s gaze turning cold as he walked away. Over the next few days, Sofia began showing up more frequently, bossing the servants around as if it were her own home. She rearranged the furniture and replaced
