All Chapters of DANGEROUS LOVE, MY STEPFATHER'S SECRET: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

I don't remember ever feeling this excited just because I was going to cook dinner in someone else's apartment.Yeah, it wasn't anyone else, it was Raviel.Since I arrived at the office, I'd been constantly glancing at my watch. I counted the hours, impatient to get home. For the first time in a while, I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the work I was doing. Marsha had reprimanded me several times for making mistakes in my report, and I had to revise it multiple times.It was incredibly embarrassing, but I couldn't help it. I could only promise her that I'd do a better job next time and that I wouldn't make the same mistakes with my reports.When I finally got home, I quickly showered and changed into something comfortable, but I made sure I looked good in it. I wore jeans and a short-sleeved violet blouse with a V-neck. I let my hair down and put on a little makeup to freshen up my look."Are you going out tonight?"Emma greeted me as soon as I emerged from my bedroom. She was

Coming to Raviel’s apartment every night at six in the evening had become a habit. Every time I got home from work, I would automatically shower and get ready to go to Raviel’s apartment. It wasn’t just me who was excited, but Aiden was too. He spent every night playing with Raviel before falling asleep in his warm arms. Raviel and I would have a lovely dinner afterward. We talked about everything, from the basics of everyday life to personal matters like annoying clients.We talked about almost anything at the dinner table except for things that concerned our feelings. That topic was taboo. Raviel was very careful not to mention it because he knew that bringing it up would only damage the harmony of our relationship. Even though we didn’t say it verbally, we both compromised for Aiden. He deserved complete love from his parents. Even though we would never marry, that wouldn’t stop Aiden from getting what was rightfully his.“This salmon burger is so delicious. Where did you learn to

I couldn't focus on my work while at the office. I thought about my conversation with Raviel last night while we were watching a movie. He sounded like someone who was heartbroken.I did break his heart yesterday. I've always done that ever since the attack on us.But instead of being okay with it, I was devastated to see him heartbroken. In the end, I couldn't enjoy the movie at all. My mind was working furiously to find the best solution for both of us. I didn't want to disappoint him, but I would be incredibly guilty if I did. I owed him so much. The only thing I could do to repay him was to become his girlfriend. And even marry him.I glanced at my watch.I was hesitant to go to Raviel's apartment and cook him dinner. Raviel had looked cold to me when I left his apartment last night. Maybe he didn't expect me to come over again because he was disappointed in me.Aiden was already ready on his playmat. He'd showered, put on lotion, and was wearing a light blue onesie. He was ready

Raviel always had all the ingredients in his fridge, so I could cook anything easily. I cooked biryani, chicken tikka masala, and a Middle Eastern salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and spices. I also made dessert, strawberry pudding with custard. I didn't know if Raviel liked it or not, but he never complained about anything I cooked. Bertha also never mentioned that Raviel had any dietary restrictions."Wow, rice.""If you don't like it, I can make something else."“I love everything you cook.”“Really? I should have asked you before I cooked. This is all about you.”Raviel pulled my chin toward him. He stared at me intently with a gaze so tender that it melted my heart.“This isn’t just about me, it’s about you and Aiden too. It’s about us. You don’t have to feel guilty about anything you cook because I truly love everything you cook with your hands. You put so much love into them. That’s what I’ve always missed about you, and I’ll never get it anywhere else, even if I pay an

“I’ll make you your favorite green tea.”“No need,” Anthonio said coldly.“I want to talk to you, Claire.”I nodded and sat down on one of the single sofas. I did so deliberately because I didn't want to be near him when he was angry."Why are you still in contact with him, Claire?""Why? He's Aiden's father. He has the right to see Aiden.""But he doesn't have the right to be near you anymore because you're my fiancée.""Why can't he be near me? I never forbade you from being near any woman. Besides, Raviel has never done anything indecent. I can't possibly avoid him like he's the plague.""Don't compare Raviel to the women I work with at the office. They're not the same thing. He was once your boyfriend. And don't forget the fact that you slept with him until you had Aiden."My brow furrowed at his words."That hurts me. Did you just accuse me of sleeping with Raviel while you were in Washington?""Who knows," he sneered sarcastically.“I’ve never even touched you more than kissed y
