The Affair Revenge My Bestfriend's Husband Offered Me의 모든 챕터: 챕터 241 - 챕터 250

Celeste couldn't fall asleep. She tossed and turned. The ceiling offered no answers. Her dog, Momo, whined softly from the foot of the bed. She had been lying there for hours, replaying the scene at the restaurant over and over in her mind. Mama. Papa Sam. The little girl called Nerissa Mama. And she called Sam Papa Sam. She sat up abruptly. Her heart was pounding. She pressed her palms against her eyes. Why do I even care? she thought. It's none of my business. They're not my family. They're not my friends. But she couldn't stop thinking about it. About Vance. About how he trusted Sam. About how he trusted Nerissa. About how they were both betraying him. She swung her legs over the side of the bed. Momo lifted his head, his tail wagging hopefully. "Fine," she said. "Let's go for a walk." *** The lobby was quiet at this hour. Dim lights. The soft hum of the elevator. The distant sound of a car passing outside. Celeste walked toward the exit, Momo padding beside her. She was

Thank you for accompanying me on my journey with this story up to this point. I am so grateful that you have all been with me through the highs and lows and have continued to support me. I have an announcement I want to share with you. Thankfully, this story is getting more and more attention and will be promoted not only on Goodnovel but also on another platform. However, to get the maximum benefit from the promotion, I need to revise the chapters and strengthen the cliffhangers. So, I would like to focus my days on revising the story from the first chapter, rather than uploading new ones. Don't worry—I'm taking a break from continuing for now, as I'm still thinking about the best plot I can come up with in the future. You can also check out the earlier chapters, as I have already revised some of them. About thirty chapters have been updated with added emotional beats to make the early plot more interesting, so you can invest more in the characters. Please take a look and give me y

"I'm asking you to be quiet and follow me." She held out her hand. He stared at it for a moment. Then he took it. They walked to the dance floor. She turned to face him. He placed his hand on her waist. She placed hers on his shoulder. They began to move. "You're a terrible dancer," she said. "You're not wrong." She almost smiled. "I'm not wrong about a lot of things." "Are you wrong about anything?" She was quiet for a moment. "Yes. I was wrong about you. I misjudged you completely." "I forgive you." "That's annoying." "Why?" "Because I was trying to apologize, and you made it easy." He laughed. "You'll just have to try harder next time." She glared at him—but there was no heat in it. *** Leo and Lydia were on the other side of the dance floor. They weren't dancing. They were standing near the windows, looking out at the city. "I can't believe I'm here," Lydia said. "At a gala. In a fancy dress. With all these important people." "You are important p

The schoolyard was chaos. Children ran everywhere. Laughter echoed off the walls. Bags were dropped, shoes were untied, and someone had already lost a lunchbox. Maya stood near the swings, clutching her backpack strap. She was scanning the crowd, looking for familiar faces. It was her second week at school, and she was still learning the rhythm of things. Then she saw them. Selene and Austin were sitting on a bench near the slide. Austin was drawing in the dirt with a stick. Selene was braiding a piece of grass. Maya hesitated for only a moment. Then she walked over. "Hi," she said. Selene looked up. Her eyes widened slightly. "You're the girl. From the other day." Maya nodded. "I'm Maya." "I'm Selene." She pointed to her brother. "That's Austin." Austin looked up. He didn't smile. He just stared. "Can we play?" Maya asked. Austin shrugged. "Okay." Five minutes later, they were running across the field, chasing each other. Maya's laughter rang out. Austin was faster than b

Celeste arrived home exhausted.She had spent the entire day at Horizon, going through reports, reviewing contracts, answering emails. Her mind was still spinning with numbers and deadlines. She just wanted to collapse on her couch and order takeout.But when she walked through the door, she froze.Her longtime housekeeper, Mrs. Lu, was standing in the middle of the living room. She had a small suitcase beside her."Mrs. Lu?" Celeste frowned. "What are you doing?"Mrs. Lu smiled apologetically. "Miss Celeste, Chairman Ashworth instructed us to take a week off."Celeste blinked. "What?""He said you've lived alone for months, but you've never actually lived alone." Mrs. Lu clasped her hands together. "He said a week won't kill you."Celeste sighed. "Grandpa...""Chairman Ashworth was very insistent." Mrs. Lu's smile was gentle. "He said if you survive the week, he'll let us come back."Celeste's eyes narrowed. "What else did he say?"Mrs. Lu hesitated. Then she smiled again. "His exact
