Semua Bab You Broke Me First, Now You Beg: Bab 51 - Bab 60

“That’s exactly why I want to find out what really happened. I won’t ignore it anymore.”“That’s your problem, not mine.” Aeris took a slow breath. She didn’t want to get trapped in the same conversation again. “If you came here just to talk about the past, you’d better leave.”Gio shook his head. “I can’t just walk away after finding out what really happened. Aeris, I want to know why your letters never reached me. I want to know who hid them while you were in exile and why no one ever told me what your situation was really like.”“And what will change once you find out?” Aeris looked at him again. “Can those three years be given back to me? Can the wounds I suffered there disappear just because you finally learn the truth?”Gio fell silent for a moment. He had no answer that could change what had happened.“I just want to make things

Aeris looked at Andreas for a few moments before finally asking, “Is my presence really necessary?”Andreas raised an eyebrow. “We were invited as a married couple. Do you think it would be appropriate for me to show up alone?”Aeris fell silent for a moment. She wasn’t particularly interested in attending events like that, especially if it meant having to meet a lot of people she didn’t know. However, Andreas had invited her personally.She took some time to consider his invitation before finally nodding. “All right. I’ll go with you. But let me take care of Leo first.”Andreas nodded, then handed the invitation to Virgo. “Of course.” He then looked directly at Leo. “Be more careful next time. And don’t give up so easily just because of what happened today.”“Yes, Dad!” Leo replied enthusiastically. “It doesn’t hurt that much.”Aeris could only laugh as she helped Leo with his treatment before taking him to his room. Meanwhile, Andreas returned to his work.It wasn’t long before Aeri

The black car came to a stop in front of the building where the Rievera family was hosting that evening’s event.Aeris gazed at the magnificent building through the window. Crystal lights illuminated the hall visible from the entrance, while guests arrived in formal attire and luxury vehicles. Several servants stood near the doors, welcoming each arriving guest.Aeris lowered her head and smoothed the folds of her dress for what felt like the hundredth time.The long navy dress she had chosen with Chloe was comfortable, but for some reason, tonight she found herself unusually conscious of every detail of her appearance. Her hair had been neatly styled, her jewelry was simple, and the ring on her left ring finger glinted whenever it caught the light.The ring reminded her of one thing. Tonight, she wasn’t here as Aeris Harrison. She was here as Andreas Castilano’s wife.The door beside her opened. Andreas had already stepped out of the car and was now standing outside, waiting for her

“It seems you had quite a serious conversation,” Aeris remarked as Andreas emerged from the room.Andreas offered only a faint smile. “You could say that.”Aeris didn’t ask any further questions. From Andreas’s expression, she knew he had no intention of telling her what they had discussed. So she chose to follow him back into the hall.The event was still underway. Some guests were chatting in small groups, while others had begun gathering in the central room to discuss business matters. Aeris accompanied Andreas as he greeted several people who approached them. Occasionally, she heard the Castilano family name mentioned in conversation, but she made no attempt to get involved.From a corner of the room, Ruth and Denisa were still watching them. Neither woman made any more cutting remarks as they had earlier, but their gazes clearly showed that their conflict with Aeris was far from over.Aeris noticed them. However, she had no intention of wasting her time thinking about the two wom

At first, Aeris had only intended to make sure Leo and Chloe were sleeping comfortably. Unfortunately, Leo suddenly woke up. The boy lifted his head from the pillow and looked at her sleepily.“Mom,” he called, his voice hoarse in the way children sounded when they had just woken up. “Did you just get home?”Aeris moved closer and gently stroked the top of his head. “Go back to sleep. It’s still nighttime.”Leo slowly closed his eyes, but as if remembering something, he asked again, “Why are there so many people around the house?”Aeris stopped stroking his head. “It’s nothing. They’re just keeping watch to make sure everything is safe.”“Why do there have to be so many?” Leo looked at Aeris innocently.“Because there’s something that needs to be checked.” Aeris straightened his blanket. “You don’t need to worry. Go back to sleep. You still have school tomorrow, right?”Leo still seemed to have more questions, but he eventually nodded. Aeris waited until he lay back down before checki
