The Cover-Up She Married Into のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Preston immediately sent Gwyneth a message.Preston: [Gwen, the divorce isn't real. Let me explain.]The message failed to come through.Preston went numb for a second. "Gwen blocked me? That's impossible. She wouldn't do this to me."His hands shook as he dialed her number, but all he heard was a cold, automated voice. "The number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."She had blocked his number too."What exactly did she post?"Only then did Julian hand him the phone. "See for yourself."[Starting today, Gwyneth and Preston are done. We're even. We have nothing to do with each other anymore.]At the sight of the post, Preston's face went ashen.Did this mean she would never forgive him?Preston stormed out of the bar. By the time Selene ran after him, his car was already speeding away in the distance.Rebecca hurried out after her. "Selene, are you all right?""I'm fine." Selene shook her head, though her mind was in chaos.She had no idea wh

"No." Preston walked over and sat down on the sofa, looking up at her. "Why? Just because we haven't found Gwen yet, are you already planning to take her place as the lady of this house?"Selene quickly shook her head and went over to soothe him. "That's not what I meant. Pres, aren't you already stressed enough about Gwen?"I just didn't want you to come home and get upset all over again because her things were everywhere, so I had the staff take care of them. But if you don't like it, I won't say anything like that again, okay?"She pressed herself against his chest, her hands roaming restlessly over him. "It's getting late. Let's go to bed, okay? It's my birthday, and I have a surprise waiting for you."The moment her hand strayed somewhere it shouldn't have, Preston felt an unfamiliar surge of irritation and immediately pulled it away."I'm not in the mood. I'm sleeping in Gwen's room tonight. You can sleep by yourself." He pushed her away and headed upstairs alone.Selene wa

At first, the bodyguard wasn't sure he'd heard correctly, but one look at how hard Selene was crying told him enough.He quickly nodded. "Yes, sir. Miss Somerset, please come with us."As the two bodyguards stepped forward, Selene sobbed even harder.She wrapped herself around Preston's leg and refused to let go. "I'm not leaving, Pres! I don't want to leave! Please, don't do this to me. Let me stay by your side. Please. I won't ask for anything else. I just want to be near you. Please!""Take her away."Preston showed no mercy and ordered the bodyguards to drag her out.After she was gone, Preston received a call from his assistant."Mr. Gallagher, we have news about Mrs. Gallagher. After she left the hospital, she took a cab straight to the airport. I had someone check, and it looks like she went back to Minamton."Minamton was Gwyneth's hometown.She had actually gone home? She really didn't want him anymore.Preston's eyes quickly reddened. In a low voice, he said, "Book

Preston had spent five hours on a plane and another hour driving just to get here. He had rushed through the night, desperate to see Gwyneth as soon as possible.He had arrived at her family's home just in time to see her leaving with Arthur, then followed them straight here.They had only been apart for a few days, yet he had missed her terribly.She clearly hadn't recovered well. Her face had grown thinner, and even beneath her makeup, her complexion remained pale.Remembering everything he had put her through, Preston's eyes filled with guilt. "Gwen."The moment Gwyneth saw him, her expression turned cold. "Why are you here?"Her mood, which had only just begun to improve, plunged straight back into the depths.She turned to leave, but Preston stepped in front of her and blocked her path. "Don't go. Give me a chance. Can we just talk this through properly?""Preston, we're already divorced. There's nothing left between us, and I have nothing to say to you. Get out of my way,

The corner of Julian's mouth curved into a handsome smile. "Then the honor's all mine.""So you two already know each other. Wonderful." Julian's father, Conrad Lancaster, brushed the dust from his clothes. "Well, that's enough excitement for one morning. How about we all go get some morning tea together?""I still need to pick up my mother."Gwyneth instinctively declined, but Conrad quickly cut in, "Let Jules drive you. He came by car."Julian readily agreed, "Sure. I've got time."A bad feeling suddenly crept over Gwyneth. This was the same old man who had offered to introduce his son to her earlier.Tall, handsome, well-off, and never dated anyone. That description could only have referred to Julian.But with so many people watching, and after Julian had just helped her, she could not bring herself to refuse.In the end, she simply nodded. "All right. Thank you, Mr. Lancaster."Gwyneth turned to follow Julian.Preston jumped in again. "Gwen, don't go with him. He's not a
