All Chapters of You Broke Me First, Now You Beg: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Cyntia gritted her teeth in irritation but then smiled broadly. “Of course not. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to spend time with your stepmother.”“At least Aeris is finally learning to fit in and understand her place,” Donna commented indifferently.“You’re right, Donna.” Cyntia turned to Donna with a cheerful smile. “Oh, but... what are you planning to eat? Don’t tell me it’s fast food?”“Pasta,” Leo corrected her. “Why? Mommy said it’s fine.”“Pasta?” Donna repeated lightly. “So you came all the way here just to eat pasta?”Chloe frowned, unable to understand what was so strange about her answer. “Yeah. Why?”“Nothing.” Donna smiled faintly. “I just thought the Castilano children would be used to eating somewhere nicer.”David chuckled softly. “Don't be like tha

The smile on Cyntia's face slowly faded. Her hands clenched tightly without her realizing it. “I won't let this happen. Just you wait, Aeris. You won't last long by Andreas's side. Especially once Andreas learns about your past.”Cyntia gave a sly smirk before turning her attention back to David and Donna. “Let's go home. I'm so tired. Running into Aeris has really put me in a bad mood.”“You're right.” Donna moved closer and put an arm around Cyntia. “We'd better go home. What rotten luck that we had to run into Aeris here.”“Didn't you see?” David chimed in with a light laugh. “She's more like a nanny than Andreas's wife. It's quite something if she thinks marrying Andreas gives her the right to do whatever she wants.”Cyntia let out a light laugh. “But... I think Mr. Andreas really does seem different. He's... handsome.”Donna rolled her eyes with a laugh. “Oh, has my beautiful little sister learned how to judge a man's looks? But are you sure about that? Being handsome isn't enoug

Andreas briefly ended his call and looked at his daughter. “Haven't you two already picked one?”“But we want to know which one you like, Daddy.”Andreas glanced toward the fitting room. “Choose the one she likes best.”Chloe didn't seem satisfied with that answer, but Leo quickly pulled her away to look at some other dresses.A few moments later, the boutique employee brought over the last dress Chloe had chosen. As soon as she saw it, the girl immediately asked Aeris to try it on.Aeris hesitated for a moment. The dress looked different from the others. Its floral embroidery was denser, while the layers of fabric appeared exceptionally soft and light.However, seeing the hopeful look on Chloe's face, she finally nodded. This time, Aeris took longer to put on the dress once she stepped into the fitting room.The dress was ivory, with a silhouette that gently hugged her curves before flaring out into an elegant, floor-length skirt. The bodice featured a V-shaped neckline that wasn't t

Jerry pointed his chin at Andreas. “Are you even a man, Andreas?”Aeris fell silent.Andreas merely looked at Jerry without showing any particular reaction.Jerry continued, his expression full of disbelief. “You got married with nothing more than the bare minimum? No wedding celebration? The head of the Castilano family, of all people. I never would have expected you to do something like that.”Aeris lowered her gaze for a moment. She hadn't expected their conversation to turn to her marriage.“It's fine,” she said eventually. “I don't mind.”Jerry immediately shook his head.“That's your business, Aeris. I'm not talking about whether you mind or not. I'm talking about Andreas.”He turned toward the man in question.“Are you not embarrassed at all? I even held an extravagant wedding for my younger sister. And what about you? You married a woman but didn't give her a proper wedding celebration? You even left her at the altar and got busy with North Port?”Andreas looked at Jerry with

Andreas quickly put on his sleeping robe. After making sure his clothes were in order, he returned to Aeris, who was still standing near the door.“Wait in the room. Don't come out until I return.”“But—” Aeris couldn't possibly just sit and wait.“Please,” Andreas interrupted quickly. “I'll be back soon. You must be tired. You should stay with Leo and Chloe.”Andreas had a point. If she insisted on joining the search for the person, there would be no one to look after Leo and Chloe. In the end, Aeris nodded, though her gaze remained fixed on the corridor.Andreas immediately called over one of the security guards stationed on the first floor. They quickly came over to him.“Conduct a thorough search of the entire mansion. Check every floor and every room, including the entrance gates. I want to know if there's anyone here who shouldn't be.”“Yes, sir.”“Check the CCTV footage as well. Don't miss a single corner.”After giving his orders, Andreas hurried to the surveillance room to se
