The Playboy CEO’s Curvy Obsession のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Elijah and Chloe were still feeling down. Nowadays, Seraphina Arden made it a point to go home after work every day to spend time with her parents.Today, Leon Everhart handed out specialty gift boxes that had been given to him. He told Sophia and Seraphina Arden to split them. Later, he took two other gift boxes from his car and gave one each to Sophia and Seraphina Arden.When Seraphina got to the building downstairs, she called her parents to come down and help carry the items.Elijah and Chloe came down, their hands full of gift boxes. A neighbor passing by couldn’t help but notice:“Chloe, is this from Seraphina’s company? Wow, so much stuff! Your daughter is really capable.”Chloe smiled and deflected gracefully: “Oh no, these are things Seraphina bought herself. She said they’re for her grandma and uncles to take back home for the holidays.”Chloe rarely flaunted wealth in public. With so many familiar faces around, she knew it could spark jealousy and gossip, potentially bringi

On the third day of the holiday, Ethan came over to Seraphina Arden’s home to pay his respects, bringing along numerous gifts.Although Seraphina and Ethan had not officially defined their relationship, the mutual understanding between them was palpable.Chloe prepared a lavish table of food, and Ethan sat next to Seraphina, instructing her to pass him different dishes.Seraphina shot him a glare, but Ethan just smirked, his roguish grin completely unbothered.Unable to do much about his antics, Seraphina reluctantly complied.That evening, Elijah opened one of the bottles of wine Leon Everhart had gifted Seraphina. He and Ethan shared a drink, and the whole family enjoyed a harmonious dinner together.Eliza, on the other hand, finished her meal early and excused herself to the guest room. Ethan, who had only greeted her upon arrival, hadn’t spared her a glance since.Eliza had given up on trying to draw Ethan’s attention. After all, she had already learned her lesson the hard way.He

That meeting went late into the night.Seeing how exhausted Seraphina Arden was, Leon Everhart didn’t ask her to drive him home and instead drove himself.Seraphina stayed at her apartment that night and called her parents, sharing her suspicions about James.“Dad, Uncle James has been so good to our family and even got me this job. But I suspect he’s having an affair with my old classmate Babi. If one day I uncover something shady involving him, what should I do?”Elijah sighed. “Back when James helped me get my job at the city planning office, he asked for money—a lot of it. I gave him my entire discharge allowance from the army, and when that wasn’t enough, I even borrowed money. As for getting you into TerraVantage Group, that’s not pure kindness either. Years ago, I helped his son get a job at our office. That recruitment letter? I personally delivered it. Your boss Leon only keeps James around partly for his skills, but mostly because James’ son holds a minor leadership role at t

Seraphina Arden and Ethan’s relationship was now officially public. Having grown up together, their gestures and habits were perfectly in sync.Ethan wasn’t as busy as Seraphina Arden. With Chloe retired and no longer working, she cooked daily. After work, Ethan would head straight to Seraphina’s parents' home for dinner. Once finished, he’d pack up leftovers and bring them to Seraphina’s apartment.Ethan was thoroughly satisfied with his current lifestyle. Lunch in the cafeteria, dinner at Seraphina’s parents’ house, and then snuggling up with her at night—life couldn’t get any better.Seraphina Arden had a mild temperament and didn’t demand much from Ethan. After their nightly showers, she would toss the laundry into the washing machine, and her compact apartment required only a quick 10-minute cleaning routine daily.Ethan occasionally helped hang the clothes, but even if he didn’t, Seraphina Arden never made a fuss about these small chores. The two would sit on the bed, phones in h

After Leon Everhart left, a bored Harper made a call to Olivia.Olivia had already given her housekeeper the day off.Harper drove to Olivia's place.Not long after, Lucas arrived in a hurry.Marriage, at its core, is an exchange of equal value. Both parties must gain something useful from each other, and the more valuable these gains are, the more stable the marriage will be.Leon Everhart, seated high in his position, could not provide Harper with emotional comfort or sufficient financial freedom. With only physical intimacy to offer, expecting a stable marriage or a loyal and devoted partner from Harper was nothing short of wishful thinking.Harper had no psychological barriers about betraying Leon Everhart.From Leon's perspective, Harper was just a pretty face. Her sole value lay in being obedient and bearing him children. He would provide her with some level of protection and ensure that Henry's family couldn’t oppress her.Leon Everhart understood the Henry family’s oppressive
