Lahat ng Kabanata ng You Wed Your Past; I Wed My Future: Kabanata 181 - Kabanata 190

A short while later, Stephanie could clearly feel a part of Adrian going through a noticeable change. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, prompting her to bite down on Adrian's lips all of a sudden.This made Adrian inhale sharply."You're ruthless." He could only smile helplessly at her."You were the one who—"Stephanie didn't know what to say, so she could only pinch Adrian on the thigh.Adrian sighed once again. "Stephanie, I'm a regular man."Honestly speaking, he did react physically to Stephanie when he had kissed her in the past. It was just that he was able to suppress his urges very well.Then again, it was true that he had somewhat lost control of himself this time.Stephanie just blinked at Adrian. Suddenly, she kissed him once again.Her sudden display of assertiveness almost made Adrian lose his rationality. Just as he was about to one-up Stephanie by deepening the kiss, the latter shoved him away before jumping off his lap."I'm going to pick out my gown now. Heh

"They let you go just like that?" Norman rubbed his chin. "Something doesn't feel right…"His gaze suddenly sharpened. "When you came here earlier, did you pick up on anything suspicious?"The men swapped glances with each other. Then, they shook their heads."No, sir. We were very cautious on our way here, and we didn't spot anyone following us. Also, we entered the hotel through the back door. "Maybe they just thought of us as sleazy offenders who lurked in bars. That's why they just taught us a lesson and let us go."But no matter how much Norman thought about it, he still found it weird. His rationality told him that he shouldn't continue this scheme. However, when he thought about Kiara and how happy she'd become if he could get her task done, he perked up once again."Tomorrow is the banquet held by the hosting organization of the business conference," Norman stated icily, his eyes narrowed slightly. "I want you to come up with a way and find an opportunity to carry the mi

The moment Stephanie turned around, she spotted Tyler, who stood a short distance away from her. Clearly, he was hooked on playing the role of the infatuated ex.She frowned slightly, as though his existence tainted her sight. Her lips curled into a disgusted scowl before she turned away from him.Thank goodness Adrian was standing a few steps away from her. There was no way Tyler would have the guts to come over and disturb her with Adrian around.As Laura observed Stephanie's expression, she did her best to suppress her curiosity so that she wouldn't ask any offending questions. But her curiosity was seriously driving her crazy to the point that her lips were starting to quiver.Stephanie could only chuckle in amusement when she noticed Laura's plight."Ask away, Laura. I'm completely fine with it.""Stephanie! Why did you break up with Tyler?" Laura asked eagerly. "Based on the way you two are acting right now, I don't think you two broke up amicably.""Yeah. It wasn't an ami

Pierce suddenly recalled something else. "By the way, I wanted to tell you something."He glanced in Stephanie's direction before lowering his voice. "Remember the jewelry designer whom you asked me to contact? My cousin managed to reach out to her, but she turned her down instantly. She refused to say yes no matter how much my cousin pleaded with her."Adrian barely showed a reaction to the revelation. Instead, he just nodded."Got it.""Um… What are you going to do about your engagement ring, then?" Pierce looked quite crestfallen. "Should we just commission another jewelry designer? That designer isn't the only world-famous jewelry designer, after all.""It's fine. I'll come up with a way."At that moment, the lighting in the banquet venue dimmed slightly. The esteemed host of the business conference, Hansel Kruger, could be seen on the stage with a spotlight focusing on him. He cleared his throat before he began speaking in Emberlish that had a heavy Anglorian accent. His v

That sentence had to be the longest sentence Adrian had ever uttered to Suzanne over the past three years. And yet, he kept talking about Stephanie. He didn't seem to be interested in comforting Suzanne at all.Suzanne found it very difficult to breathe at that moment. She knew that she was a nobody to Adrian, but how could he be this ruthless to her?It seemed that trying to connect with Adrian emotionally was a lost cause at this point. She could only get closer to him via an alternative.Suzanne took a deep breath in order to lift her own spirits. She smiled as she said, "To be frank with you, I've been scouting for a business partner regarding a business deal of mine. I wonder if you're interested in discussing this deal with me, Mr. Hawke.""No, thanks." Adrian didn't even hesitate to turn Suzanne down."I know that our families have been at each other's throats for a long time, and that we've never collaborated with each other," Suzanne continued. "But my father is his own p
