A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 40 A New Hairstyle
Taylor was an extrovert. It didn't take long before she became friends with the younger Winchesters. Even when it was time for them to leave, she still had her arm looped around Nina and Naomi. She was whispering to both of them.Flynn stood further away from the rest of them and stared at the crescent moon in the night sky, deep in thought.Avery looked at Flynn and paused for a while before calling out lightly, "Hannah …"Hannah hummed in acknowledgment and raised her head to look at him. Avery was only 17 years old, but he was already very tall.Amongst the four of them, Flynn was the closest to Hannah in age and was often the person she turned to when she needed help. Together, they kept a close eye on the two younger children.Taylor was energetic and clingy. She was the perfect definition of a younger sister.Avery, on the other hand, was much quieter. Oftentimes, he would be smiling silently on the sidelines, and sometimes he just seemed emotionally unavailable.However
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 41 Surprise
When Nina went downstairs for breakfast in the morning, she saw Darren reading the newspaper. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the fiasco at the Garners' party was on the front page of the newspaper.Darren's observation skills were keen. Feeling a pair of eyes on him, he turned to meet Nina's eyes.Nina paled and clutched at her hands worriedly when she saw Darren staring at her."What's wrong?" Darren asked in amusement. He watched his timid younger sister."Are you afraid that I'm upset?""Are you not angry?" Nina asked cautiously. She took a breath before she tried to explain what happened that night. "Someone had been plotting against Naomi, and Hannah was only trying to protect her …"Nina was afraid that Darren would be angry at Hannah.Hannah was such a good person. She didn't deserve to get scolded.Hearing Nina bring up the events from that night made Naomi pale as well.She had always been afraid of her stern and smart oldest brother. No matter how ar

As he approached them, they could smell the pleasant scent of his cologne.He appeared both refined and disciplined."Riley Harrison." He extended his hand. "I'm delighted to serve you, Ms. Emerson." "Riley Harrison," Hannah thought in surprise.She had heard of this man in her previous life.He had graduated from Oxford and was a financial doctor who had returned from overseas. He had made a prominent name for himself in Melford at a young age.In Hannah's past life, Nigel had considered hiring this man. But he had hesitated, fearing that Riley might overshadow him. During that period of indecision, Riley had declined Nigel's invitation and taken a position at an emerging company instead.At the time of her death, that company had risen to great heights under Riley's leadership, establishing itself as a leader in the business world."Mr. Harrison." Hannah smiled as she shook his hand. "Wouldn't it be a waste for someone as talented as you to be my assistant?"She was i

"Be a good girl." Robert smiled. "Go home and persuade Mom to behave herself during the banquet. Our family can only prosper if I do. That way, you all can continue living a luxurious life. Understood?"He lightly patted her cheek twice.The chilling sensation from his hand made Jane shiver uncontrollably, her lips quivering. Robert felt satisfied when he saw the fear in her eyes and smiled wider. "I'm asking you a question. Do you understand?"His grip tightened as if he could snap her wrist."Robert, it hurts ..." Jane's tears fell, her fear overwhelming her. She softened her tone and nodded repeatedly. "I … I'll listen to you, Robert. I'll persuade Mom to apologize to the Winchesters.""Bring a valuable gift and apologize sincerely," Robert emphasized. Only when she nodded did he release his grip and straighten his suit."There's no need to get upset," he sneered, a hint of disdain in his voice. "You women always fuss over trivial matters like this. A crude, uncultured

"Otherwise ..." Hannah smiled, her tone gentle yet icy. "Since you know I'm Mrs. Winchester, I suppose you wouldn't mind if I rely on the Winchester family and attempt to … abuse my power, right?"In her previous life, Nigel had insisted on marrying her and refused to be with Catherine, no matter what. Even after a few years of marriage, he had continued to claim that he didn't like girls like Catherine and that they were just like siblings. Yet, in the end, those two had ended up together like Cordelia had hoped.The Moores were all sick in the head, just like in the story in this book. Without hesitation, Hannah hung up. On the other end of the line, Cordelia gripped the phone tightly as the disconnection tone rang. Amidst her anger, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret.Back when Nigel had frequented the slums, she had despised Hannah, thinking that the woman had deliberately ensnared her son and was using him to climb the social ladder.But now Hannah was mar
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 45 Apology
"But ..." She hesitated. "Kaden will be taking the college entrance exam next year. If I take it, won't I be in the same class as him?""You'll be my junior!" Andrew's eyes lit up, and he shouted enthusiastically, "That's great! If you attend our school, I'll have your back!"His reputation as the third child of the Winchester family carried a lot of weight at the school."You only got into that school because we donated two buildings to the school board. Who are you to advise your sister-in-law?" Darren glanced at him, his tone devoid of any emotion.His words left Andrew shrinking back, unable to retort to that."At your age, it's not too late." Kaden also encouraged Hannah. "I can help you outline the key points for your exams."Being a top student, he had confidence in tutoring his sister-in-law.Nina, who hadn't attended regular school and had been homeschooled, said weakly, "I-If Hannah feels stressed with her studies, I can play the piano to help her relax!""And I
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 46 Keeping a Distance
Robert's voice remained at a normal volume, so everyone around him could hear him. Their looks toward him carried a hint of appreciation. People who dared to admit their mistakes and defend their family would always earn a certain level of admiration."I understand that Jane made a mistake. My mother couldn't help but defend her, and I suppose that left you with a bad impression of us."He had beautiful eyes. They were not of a specific shape. His eyelashes were long and thick, with slightly lighter brown irises. His eyes exuded an indescribable tenderness and affection, which could be easily seen as sincerity. "I sincerely apologize. I wonder where Darren and Naomi are. I would like to apologize to them as well.""Well …" Hannah stared at him for a while before smiling. "We're family. There's no need for such formality.""We should be apologizing." Hailee's eyes were filled with frustration, but she had learned from her mistakes and maintained her smile. "Something mus
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 47 A Noblewoman
The affectionate, tender, and caring facade Jane had put on in the past had all been a lie. She was clearly an ungrateful snake, waiting to strike at any moment.Despite her reluctance, Noami knew that she couldn't embarrass the Winchesters and her sister-in-law. "Naomi."She felt Hannah gently holding her tightly clenched fist.There was silent encouragement in Hannah's eyes. "Do you want to accept her apology? Just be honest. There's no need to be afraid."Noami felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled in her eyes. She shook her head. "No, I don't want to."No one knew just how scared and helpless she had felt when everyone had accused and doubted her. Why should she forgive the mastermind behind that scheme? She admitted that she was petty and preferred never to see Jane again.Hailee, Robert, and Jane had extremely unpleasant expressions on their faces now. Even Robert's smile had disappeared."Well ..." Hailee forced a smile, showing her disapproval of the younge

Darren didn't let her off easily in the end. Darren, being in his prime years, had maintained his purity and had never been involved with other women. This was a great feat considering that Darren had managed to maintain his purity after being with her all this time. Having just celebrated their marriage, he had finally enjoyed some moments of satisfaction, only to face the complication with Erica. Lately, Hannah had been in low spirits. Darren wouldn't be so brutish as to insist on intimate matters with her when she was in such an emotional state. He had to suppress his desires.However, now she took the initiative to seduce him.

Even with their current financial difficulties, the atmosphere between them remained harmonious and warm.The smile in Hannah's eyes deepened a bit.Finding her uncle was undoubtedly a joyous event for her. After all, they hadn't been in contact for so many years, and confirming that Elvis' family members were reasonable and good people made her even happier."Grandma has never given up looking for you all these years, Uncle Elvis."Hannah briefly shared her thoughts. "I thought of taking you and Lilian to see Grandma directly to prevent her from overthinking.""Of course! Of course!"Jennifer laughed and agreed. She said, "If it weren't for my poor health and being hospitalized, I would have gone to see her too."Things were settled.Jennifer still had one more dialysis session in the coming days. Thus, their meeting was scheduled three days later.Hannah and Darren didn't stay much longer. After arranging for Jennifer to move to a single room, they left.Before they took

Jennifee hadn't looked before, but as soon as she did, she was almost startled.Under the shock, she even failed to contain her voice and exclaimed in surprise, "Elvis?" Her husband, who rarely got involved in affairs and was always practical, was now standing up excitedly. His eyes were fixed tightly on the two entering the room. He seemed as though he was about to pounce on those people. Lilian was also stunned. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Elvis' hand, her face carrying a hint of embarrassment. She lowered her voice desperately and said, "Dad, what are you doing?" She sensed that the eyes of the entire ward had turned their way under Jennifer's exclamation. The extraordinarily good-looking couple also looked over. Her cheeks turned red. She felt both nervous and embarrassed. She forcefully tugged on Elvis' hand and whispered urgently, "Dad, hurry up and sit down." However, Elvis not only didn't sit down, but he took a step forward and called out
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 824 Lost In Thought
At Hopeldon's top hospital, Elvis sat by the bedside as he watched the summer breeze rustle through the leaves outside the window. A look of realization crossed his face. "Mom, I bought your favorite food."Just then, a clear and lively voice rang out. A girl with twin tails briskly entered the ward while carrying a meal with a smile on her face. "I was lucky to find discounted meat. I bought some. Mom, you have to eat more." The pale woman on the bed smiled faintly and nodded. "Okay, I'll eat more." After that, Jennifer noticed that Elvis, sitting on the side, was still staring blankly out of the window while lost in thought. Jennifer frowned. She said softly, "Elvis, set up the table. It's time for lunch. Elvis. Elvis?" "Huh?"Elvis suddenly snapped out of his reverie. Noticing both his wife and daughter looking at him, he forced a smile. He rubbed his hands and stood up. "Lilian, did you bring the food back already? Let's have lunch then!" "Dad, what ha
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 823 Look at Me
She gently touched the scars on her face through the veil and then, with a sweet smile, began typing on the keyboard. "It would be great if I could help you. I'll be waiting for you to marry me!"As she replied to the message, her phone vibrated again. Robert asked with concern, "How did you get hold of these documents? Are you in any danger? Your safety is the most important thing!"Seeing his genuine concern, Misty felt even more convinced that her choice was right. The smile on her face seemed impossible to fade. She had done her research lately. Cosmetic surgery here was not particularly advanced, and her facial scars wouldn't be perfectly repaired even with surgery. Meanwhile, Arovia was renowned for its excellent plastic surgery industry. Although dealing with her facial scars would be troublesome, new technology could provide a complete recovery. The only deterrent was the daunting cost. No matter how regretful Matthew might feel, he wouldn't spend such a large s
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 822 Unwrapping the Gift
She was even draped in a thin windbreaker that covered her from head to toe.Despite the light and thin fabric, it was an autumn windbreaker. Wearing it seemed unsuitable for the current season. "The car and the house both have air conditioning. How could I get heatstroke?" Misty's smile widened. Her fingers entwined around the belt of the windbreaker at her waist and gently pulled it twice. She spoke softly, "But since you want to see what's inside, I'll take it off, okay?" Following that, she pulled off her belt before Cedric. The fabric of the windbreaker was silky. After the belt came off, she shuddered, and the windbreaker slipped down from her shoulders. She wore a semi-sheer dress that draped over her skin, gently showcasing the contours of her figure in a subtle and alluring way. Then, she raised her hand and took off her hat. Her long hair was neatly arranged behind her head, revealing her forehead and a pair of seemingly innocent eyes. Below her eye
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 821 So Ungrateful
Just as she wished, Cedric felt an immediate dryness in his mouth. As the male protagonist in the book, he had indeed lived a smooth life without experiencing many setbacks.He was always the object of admiration by others since he was young.When had he ever bowed his head to anyone? Even when he failed in the competition for the heir of Garner Group, he remained the second young master of the company. No one dared to say much in front of him. Only Diana was different.Since that day, Diana had suddenly become completely different. The way she looked at him no longer held admiration, but instead, it was cold, as if she was scrutinizing him. Although she still lived with him and would occasionally show him her gentle side, that sense of discordance grew stronger. The previous Diana used to be completely submissive to him. She would believe and actively solve all his problems. But now?He seemed to have become a plaything in her hands.He was summoned at will a
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 820 Do You Miss Me?
He was just a poor guy with nothing but debt to his name.He had tried to recover his past memories and find his roots.He had been searching for decades, and even after getting married and having a daughter, he continued searching while struggling for a living.He never expected that just when he was gradually forgetting about this matter, life would suddenly take a new turn.This seemed a bit too dramatic. He wiped his face in silence before saying, "Of course, no problem. Not only did you guys just help me, but finding my family has also been a long-standing wish of mine. I'm willing to cooperate with whatever you need me to do." He hesitated for a moment and then added in a low voice, "I believe your wife's grandmother is really old, am I right? From what you just said, it seems her health is not great. Maybe we shouldn't disturb her before getting the results." He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm in my prime. Even if the outcome disappoints me, it's fine. But old people

Hannah didn't expect him to also have felt a sense of familiarity.Upon hearing that, she felt her heart skip a beat, feeling like the truth was gradually coming to the surface.She actually looked a lot like Eleanor.If the middle-aged man was really her uncle, even if he had been lost since childhood, wouldn't he still have memories of his biological sister's appearance?"May I ask if you are a native of Hopeldon? Were you born here?"She pursed her lips, staring at him before asking in rapid succession, "Who else is in your family? Are your parents still alive?"She asked many questions in one breath, sounding urgent and nervous.For someone she had only met for the second time, asking such questions seemed overly intrusive and might make people uncomfortable.But she couldn't care less now.Finding her uncle had been her grandmother's wish for many years.As she grew older, Hannah didn't want her to have any regrets in this life.The middle-aged man was also a little sur
