All Chapters of DANGEROUS LOVE, MY STEPFATHER'S SECRET: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

I never expected him to show up at my apartment door when I was already late for dinner with Anthonio. He suddenly appeared out of nowhere, surprising me, who was expecting Emma.I'd hired a nanny to look after Aiden while I worked during the day. Emma usually only worked from 8 AM to 4 PM. But since Anthonio asked me to have dinner with him, I asked Emma to come back to my apartment and look after Aiden while I had dinner with Anthonio. She said okay, although she would be a little late because she needed to take her sick mother to the doctor. I could understand. Besides, it was my fault. I asked her so suddenly outside of her work hours. I had already texted Anthonio that I would be late.Emma never showed up after I waited for her for over twenty minutes. I had no choice but to let Raviel into my apartment and look after Aiden until Emma arrived.My hands were shaking as I left my apartment. My cynicism toward him was just a mask to hide my true fear. I didn't understand why I had

“I don’t want that bastard to set foot in here again.”I closed my apartment door, half slamming it, because I was annoyed with him."Who are you? How dare you order me around here?"I couldn’t believe Raviel had revealed his true colors just two hours after his unannounced appearance.He almost beat Anthonio up if I hadn’t intervened and asked Anthonio to go home.My actions clearly hurt Anthonio because I seemed to be taking Raviel’s side. But I just wanted to finish whatever business I had with Raviel tonight and kick him out of my life forever. I’d talk to Anthonio tomorrow when his anger was no longer clouded.“In case you forgot, I’m Raviel Marshall. I own this place.”He sat arrogantly on the sofa, one leg propped up on his thigh. He stretched his arms out on the back of the sofa and shot me a scornful look.“Fine. I’ll move out of here, and you can have the whole apartment to yourself.”“You can leave, but you can’t take my son with you.”“What did you just say?” I snapped.“Y

I felt like it was incredibly difficult to start the day. Raviel's words from last night kept ringing in my mind. I couldn't sleep all night. His hurt expression haunted me. He'd made me into a villain overnight. All my anger toward him evaporated the moment he made that shocking confession. I'd been wrong about him all this time, and he'd never tried to clear up the misunderstanding until last night."Hey, Claire. You look like you've been hit by a tornado. Was Aiden cranky, and you couldn't sleep last night?"I smiled at Marsha, my boss. She owned the psychology clinic where I worked. She'd always been kind to me since I joined her clinic, and she was a boss who cared deeply about her employees' well-being."Yeah, that's it. Sometimes she's a sweet baby, but sometimes she really overwhelms me."“I know it’s hard. I was in your shoes when my two kids were Aiden’s age. But after they grew up and moved out of town for college, I missed them as babies and lost sleep every night. The key

He might have been more civil with me, but he put a clear emphasis on saying my son.“Come in.”Since he came politely, I had no reason to turn him away.Raviel walked into my apartment like it was his home. Yeah, he bought this apartment. He felt a connection to my place, even though he didn't live there.“Where’s our son?”Something in his words struck me in the gut.“He’s playing on his playmat. I’ll make him dinner.”“He eats food?”“Of course,” I chuckled at his words.“He needs to eat, just like we do.”“I mean, he doesn’t just suck from a bottle or your nipples?”He was Raviel. I wasn't surprised he still slipped vulgar words into his polite-sounding speech.“He’s almost five months old. It’s time for him to eat solid food. I’ve been giving him fruit since last week. Tonight I’m going to give him avocado.”“I thought I’d read enough books about babies, but it turns out my knowledge is still nothing compared to yours.”“I’ve also read dozens of books on how to care for children

My apartment doorbell rang. I hurriedly opened the door and smiled to greet Raviel. He looked incredibly handsome in his navy suit and black tie. His hair was neatly combed and gelled. His jawline was perfectly smooth and smelled of masculine aftershave. He never failed to captivate any woman with his looks. But tonight, I sensed something different about Raviel. Perhaps it was his aura. He had a warmer aura, rather than a cold one. The gleam in his eyes was no longer something freezing, but something that could make any woman melt upon looking at him.“Are you ready?”“Yeah. I’ll get my handbag in my room.”“Where’s Aiden?”“He’s with Emma in his room. Aiden would cry if he saw me dressed up like this, but I didn’t take him out. He’s starting to understand. If I’m dressed up, it means I’m going somewhere, and he doesn’t like being left at home.”“I wish I could say hello to him before we leave.”I grabbed my black handbag, which was lying on the bed.I took a moment to check my appea
