A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 398 Don't You Like It?
Having been trapped by recordings twice, Misty had truly learned her lesson. Even when discussing matters privately with Jessica, she refused to leave any trace."Suicide? Seriously?" Jessica burst into laughter, her voice oozing sarcasm."We're not exactly saints. Don't we all understand people like him? People like him are greedy, addicted to gambling, selfish, and have no moral boundaries!"You, me, and him are all the same! None of us would ever think of death when we can live—not to mention stabbing ourselves with a sharpened toothbrush!"How painful could that be?Just the thought of it sent shivers down her spine and raised goosebumps on her skin."Does he even deserve to be lumped together with me?" Misty expressed disdain, a hint of disgust in her eyes. In truth, deep down, Jessica wasn't very different.Jessica scoffed. "Sure! Go ahead and be as arrogant as you like! Since you're keeping your guard up and won't share any details, don't blame me for stepping back."

Who would casually kill someone and then send her such chilling messages as if nothing happened? Even with the revelation of the real culprit, Misty didn't feel relief. Instead, an icy shiver ran through her, sending goosebumps across her skin.It was nothing short of terrifying.Unfortunately, the person on the other end was well aware of her thoughts as her phone continued to buzz."Feeling scared, my dear? What can I do? I wouldn't want you to be afraid of me. Will you still be as sweet even when frightened? I miss you, my adorable girl," the messages read.Each sentence reflected in Misty's wide, fear-dilated pupils. Attempting to scream proved futile for her. It was as if extreme fear robbed her of the ability to make any significant noise or movement.Her thoughts moved sluggishly. Her body felt rigid. Even the simplest actions, like shifting her gaze, became an arduous task.After a moment, she managed to overcome the stiffness in her fingers and typed with considerabl

"Watch out for the broken porcelain, my girl. It's okay to get angry, but I'll be sad if you get hurt."Was this person monitoring her?Could he see her every move?Staring at the shattered teapot in the corner, Misty felt a cold sensation from the soles of her feet to her scalp. She stared blankly with wide eyes, unable to react.Was this person the devil?"Who are you? Come out! Stop hiding! Where are you?" Unable to contain herself, she shouted into the air, frantically searching every corner of the living room as if she had gone mad.The maid had already distanced herself due to Misty's furious outburst.She was the only person present in the entire living room, making the situation even more terrifying.Her face turned pale, and her mind felt like it was on the verge of breaking. "Come out, show yourself!"She was terrified.It was as if there were omnipresent eyes somewhere, watching her and observing her madness and fear.Displaying a gaze of joy, the watcher se

How could Misty explain this?If she told the truth, Cedric would know about the man who died in prison. He absolutely couldn't let anyone know that she genuinely wanted to kill Ramona and had taken action to make it happen.However, maintaining silence felt somewhat off."Misty? What are you thinking?"Seeing her lost in thought, Cedric felt helpless and gently tapped her nose.His sharp eyes fixed on her face as he whispered, "In the haven of my embrace, how can your thoughts stray?""I … I'm not thinking about anything …" Misty's eyes shimmered as she adopted a tender pose, resting against his chest and murmuring, "Cedric, why did you come here?"She caught a faint scent—like the roses that bloomed in the manor. It had a strong presence without being overwhelming, adding a touch of charm.Her expression suddenly darkened, and a hint of resentment surged in her eyes.This was definitely not the fragrance Cedric usually used.She knew the mixture of tobacco and cologne

"You miss me or just miss having me in bed?" Cedric dismissed the odd feeling within him as he laughed lightly.He effortlessly lifted her up, smirking, "My dear, you brought this upon yourself."As they exchanged kisses, the pair entered the Emerson manor, heading straight upstairs.The accompanying bodyguards and drivers exchanged subtle glances, opting to stay silent and avoid delving into their employers' private matters.…Meanwhile, Andrew proudly led Hannah through a bustling shopping mall. His face radiated satisfaction. His time off was limited, and he needed to reserve some for their impending wedding. Soon, he'd be back at the military academy.His victory over his siblings afforded him the opportunity to take Hannah out."Did you drag me out just to go shopping? In the academy, everything is standardized. You can't bring these things back," Hannah said as she looked at him.In the academy, military life dictated everything. From food to clothing, it was all unif

Andrew complained, "You look fantastic in anything. You can mix and match every day. It'd be perfect."Not allowing him the chance for extravagance, Hannah made her selections independently.Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Ms. Emerson."The voice was soft and fragile with a touch of sorrow.Just hearing the voice made Andrew involuntarily shiver.Impatience furrowed his brow as he glanced in the direction of the voice.Now, he stood tall, his well-toned muscles emanating a reassuring strength. While he had initially carried a fierce and aggressive demeanor, the added vitality from his military experience gave him a formidable presence.When he came face to face with Catherine, he unintentionally sent a shiver down her spine with just his gaze. As she felt his eyes on her, her face paled slightly, and she took a step back.Seeing her, a hint of coldness appeared in Hannah's eyes.She was flooded with unpleasant memories, particularly the chilling moments from her past life.

Catherine and Nigel seemed like a perfect match. However, upon seeing Hannah's reaction, Catherine couldn't help feeling dissatisfied as she widened her eyes, "Is this all? Don't you have anything else to say?""Ms. Langley, curb your expectations. Our families aren't close, and we're not in a hurry to hand out our financial blessings. Dream on! Now that I earn my own money, I understand the struggle of it. Why should we entertain your baseless request? Is it because of your looks or your audacity?" Andrew sneered, unable to contain himself."I'm not!" Catherine retorted. Her eyes turned red with frustration.She glanced around and, with a hint of sorrow, said, "Ms. Emerson, I'm already two months pregnant with Nigel's child. I hope to be with him. I'm begging you, can you please let go of Nigel?"This declaration caught the attention of the onlookers. All eyes turned to Hannah, waiting for her reaction.It played out like a storyline where the primary wife, in desperation, turn

Andrew, now a far cry from his former weak self who was prone to losing fights, had undergone rigorous training in military school.His physique had become more robust. His combat skills had soared.With two swift kicks, Nigel clutched his stomach. His face was pallid as he sprawled on the ground. He was unable to speak."Stop!" Catherine rushed over, panicked, and stood between them, pleading, "Don't hit him! Please, stop!"Despite his anger, Andrew couldn't bring himself to harm a pregnant woman. He growled, "Watch your mouth, you piece of trash! Hannah is not someone you can cling to."Nigel glared at Andrew with resentment. His face was drained of color, and blood pooled in his mouth."Are you okay, Nigel? Do you feel pain anywhere?" Catherine sobbed, her voice choked with tears."Don't worry, he won't die. I didn't go all out. I'm not going to leave any obvious injuries. But he'll be in pain for sure." Andrew rolled his eyes, still filled with rage.Observing Andre

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.

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

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

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
