"Keira!" Yuna shot up, eyes wide. "What did you just say? You like Prof. Neumann too? No way—you can only like my brother."She wasn't clutching her chest anymore, just staring at me with this sudden urgency.I stifled a laugh, putting on a helpless face. "But he's so good-looking! The first time I saw him, I was like, 'Wait, is this a doctor or did someone rip him straight out of a magazine?'""No way," Yuna clung to my arm, desperate. "Sure, he's good-looking, but if you look closely, he's not as handsome as Hayden."He doesn't have Hayden's... masculinity."And most importantly? Hayden's honest and genuine—unlike this doctor."I raised an eyebrow, totally amused. "Oh? Prof. Neumann's not genuine? How can you tell?"Yuna pouted and shook my arm back and forth. "You can't like anyone other than my brother. You're his."This girl had a serious sense of loyalty."You're a believer in that one true love, ride-or-die kind of romance, huh?" I teased. I knew exactly where she got i
Love's Redemption Chapter 324
Yuna absolutely refused to let Hayden stay, and I couldn't shake the feeling of unease about leaving her alone. So, I had no choice but to ask Lena for help since she was on the night shift."You're seriously making me use my work hours to babysit Yuna? Aren't you taking advantage of me a little too much?" Lena teased."It's not really 'babysitting,'" I explained, adding a bit of charm to my tone. "Everyone will be asleep anyway. I just need you to check on her every now and then, make sure she's sleeping okay and nothing unexpected happens."Lena huffed dramatically. "After all these years of friendship, it feels like Yuna has officially replaced me in your heart.""Come on, don't be jealous! You know you're irreplaceable. Not even Hayden compares to you," I said, grinning and giving her a thumbs-up."I'm not Hayden—you don't have to sweet-talk me," Lena quipped, grabbing my hand and examining the ring on my finger."It's old, not worth much, but the fact that Hayden gave it to
Love's Redemption Chapter 325
Hearing Lena's words, I couldn't help but feel a bit sad inside.She'd had this secret crush on Nate forever, and if I hadn't nudged her, she probably would've kept it bottled up.But Nate... the way he responded was so blunt, like he wasn't even trying to spare her feelings. If he wasn't into her, fine, but did he really have to be that harsh?I was just about to step in and defuse the tension when Nate interrupted Lena again, his voice steady but firm. "I'm not bothered by the trouble, and besides, you're only allowed to trouble me."Wait, what?I blinked, totally confused. And by the look on Lena's face, she was just as lost."Nate—"But Nate cut Lena off again. "Didn't you say you liked me?"She froze."If you like me," Nate continued, "then why are you letting other guys give you attention? Why are you accepting someone else's affection?"Oh. My. God.It finally clicked—he was jealous. Like, straight-up, out-in-the-open jealous.Was this his way of confessing? Because

"Ouch!" I winced.A hand gripped my arm, pulling me back a bit. I glanced up and locked eyes with someone I didn't recognize.He looked startled, like really startled. Before I could even say a word, he let go of me and basically bolted down the hall.Rubbing my now throbbing forehead, I watched him scurry off and then glanced back at Lena's office. It hit me—this guy had been eavesdropping. He was so into their convo, he didn't even notice me walk out, which was why we crashed into each other.Wait... could that guy be Sancho? You know, "A Heart for L," Lena's secret admirer?Still trying to wrap my head around it, Hayden appeared. I was about to head over when I heard Lena's voice from inside the room, "Nate, I'm starving."I couldn't help but laugh. Lena had this whole hot-and-cold thing down to a science."What's so funny?" Hayden asked."Lena and Nate. They're finally a thing," I said, jerking my thumb toward the office.He raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything, just

Hayden leaned in, pressing his forehead against mine, his voice low and husky. "But I missed you... missed you so much. I want you."He grabbed my hand, guiding it down to his hardening body.I yanked my hand back, tucking it behind me like I'd just touched something burning. His soft chuckle made me blush harder. "You don't want me?" he asked."No," I lied, trying to sound convincing. "I'm tired. I want to sleep." I pushed him away lightly, fumbling through my bag for the keys.Of course, I couldn't find them. My fingers were shaking, and I could feel Hayden's eyes on me the whole time. He reached over casually, pulling the keys out."Such a nervous little kitten," he murmured, his breath hot against my ear.My face went full-on tomato. Why did he always get to me like this?He unlocked the door, but before I could dart inside, he tugged me back. "You're really not gonna let me in?""N-No, no," I stammered, avoiding his eyes, but of course, he slipped in anyway."Hayden!" I s
Love's Redemption Chapter 328
After Hayden left, I took a quick shower, then flopped onto my bed and grabbed my phone.Lena had sent me a message with a picture of Yuna, fast asleep, along with a little note:[Yuna is safe.]Of course she knew I'd be freaking out until I knew for sure.I shot back a quick reply: [Thanks for looking out for her.]Almost immediately, Lena's video call lit up my screen. Girl had definitely been waiting for me to respond.I grinned, figuring she was dying to spill all the details about her finally making it official with her long-time crush. I swiped to answer, and there she was—lounging in her chair, practically glowing. Like, I could feel her happiness through the screen.I clicked my tongue playfully. "Whoa, someone's got that post-love confession glow. You're shining, girl."Lena chuckled. "You're being so extra right now."I didn't bother with small talk. I was still thinking about how she kept Nate on edge for so long. "You know exactly how to play a guy, don't you?""D

"Private details are off-limits for sharing," Lena joked, thinking I was teasing her.But I got serious. "Have you made it clear to that admirer of yours that you're not interested?""Of course. I turned him down right away.""Well, it doesn't seem like he got the memo. He's still sending you food and flowers. And..." I hesitated, "he's been spying on you."Lena's face shifted. I told her about running into the guy outside her office, catching him eavesdropping.Recalling when a blind date had almost turned into a stalker situation for me, I felt the need to warn her. "Lena, you gotta be careful. Guys like that can escalate. Watch your back—at work, when you're leaving, even when you're driving."She didn't respond right away. Instead, she stood up from her chair and walked out of her office."Where are you going? Did you even hear what I said?" I asked, feeling a little uneasy.She went straight to the nurses' station, where one of the nurses was resting her head on the counte

He didn't flinch. Just stood there, staring."Do you know me?" I asked, not even bothering with a smile."No."I gave him a once-over. He wasn't exactly the kind of guy you'd notice right away, but the more I looked, the more attractive he seemed. Today, he'd swapped the hoodie for a light blue T-shirt, looking clean and laid-back. Casual, but in a way that worked for him."So, we just keep bumping into each other for fun, huh?" I shot back, not buying his "no" for a second."We don't know each other," he said. "But you look a lot like someone I know."I couldn't help it—I laughed. Really? That line was so old, it could've been my grandma's.Seeing the mockery in my smile, he blushed. "I'm serious. I can show you."Before I could say anything, he pulled out his phone and swiped a few times. When he held it up, my breath caught. Staring back at me was a girl with a bright smile, her hair in a perfect bun. She looked like me—like, freakishly close. The only real difference was a

Lena was so startled that she was about to ask what he was doing when, suddenly, her wrist tightened. A sharp pain shot through her wrist bone, and the heavy weight in her hand disappeared. Aaron held the bracelet, staring at her for two whole seconds before turning around and walking away. Watching his retreating figure, Lena’s lips parted slightly, but in the end, she said nothing. After all, she had planned to return it anyway. Since he wanted to take it back himself, she might as well let him. At least it saved her the trouble of dealing with it. She just wondered what excuse he would come up with to return it on her behalf. Naturally, after that, it would be awkward for her to go back inside. So, she sent a message to Ron, saying that an emergency had come up at the hospital and she had to rush back. At times like this, she was grateful for her profession. No matter when she used this excuse, no one would question it—after all, it was a matter of life and death. Afte

Lena: “...” Who said that just because someone delivers vegetables, the garden is guaranteed to have a bountiful harvest? She glanced at Ron, silently signaling for help. He immediately understood—but instead of refusing on her behalf, he reached out, took her hand, and assisted his grandmother in slipping the bracelet onto her wrist. Lena: “...” She had wanted him to help her reject it! Why was he helping her wear it instead? "If you don’t accept it, my grandma will think you don’t like me and will scold me," Ron whispered, his fingers gently pressing against her hand. Then he lowered his voice even more and added, "Be good." His words weren’t loud, but they were just enough for everyone to hear. Lena shuddered. The sheer cheesiness of it sent a wave of goosebumps across her skin. Left with no other choice, she forced out a polite, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma." As she spoke, she unintentionally lifted her gaze—and locked eyes with Aaron. Bright sunlight streamed

Lena didn’t need to turn around to recognize the voice—she had just heard it last night. "Aunt Xandra," Lena greeted Xandra, who approached her excitedly. "It really is you!" Xandra looked at Ron in surprise. "Cousin, so Lena is your girlfriend?" Ron raised an eyebrow. "Why is she calling you ‘Aunt Xandra’?" Xandra blushed slightly, and Lena explained, "She’s my uncle’s girlfriend." "Oh? What a coincidence. Looks like we’re about to become one big happy family," Ron teased, his tone laced with amusement. Lena hadn’t expected to run into Xandra there. Fortunately, her relationship with Ron was fake—otherwise, things would get complicated. If she called Xandra "Aunt Xandra" while Xandra called Ron "Cousin," their family connections would become a mess. "Your uncle will be here soon. I’m waiting for him," Xandra said cheerfully, making Lena’s head ache. Why did she keep running into Aaron wherever she went? There was no avoiding him. "Well, you wait here. We’re heading i
Love's Redemption Chapter 977
Perhaps he had made the announcement and left early to avoid any awkward encounters. Lena’s mind spun with possibilities as she made her way downstairs and into the courtyard. "Good morning, my dearest Grandpa, Grandma, and Mother." Their moods were bright, so she decided to match their cheerfulness. "Awake already?" her grandmother responded first. Lena ran over to her, wrapping her arms around her shoulders and planting a kiss. "Grandma, you smell amazing." "Of course I do! I used the perfume Xandra gave me—it’s from the Little Carriage collection. Isn’t it divine?" her grandmother replied with a proud smile. The "Little Carriage" her grandmother referred to was a designer perfume brand. Her grandmother had always loved dressing up, doing her makeup, and using YSL international perfumes. Xandra clearly knew how to cater to her tastes. No doubt Aaron had told her exactly what to buy. Lena moved over to Briana, wrapping her in a hug as well and lowering her voice to ask
Love's Redemption Chapter 976
Lena had been feigning sleep so perfectly, yet who would’ve thought Aaron would pull a move like this? What was she supposed to do now? She didn’t dare move. Any movement would make things even more awkward. So, she kept up the act, letting Aaron carry her upstairs and open her bedroom door. Her face was pressed against his chest, so she discreetly opened her eyes, but all she could see was his white shirt and catch the clean, refreshing scent of pinewood on him. Yes, pinewood. It wasn’t the scent of makeup, nor was it perfume. Did this mean he hadn’t hugged Xandra? That nothing intimate had happened between them? The thought barely crossed her mind before she mentally rolled her eyes at herself. What are you thinking? If he hugged or kissed his girlfriend, wouldn’t that be completely normal? Lena, come to your senses! This is your Uncle Aaron. Whether he’s part of the Ace family or not, he’s still your Uncle Aaron. Uncle Aaron… As she repeated the title in her mind
Love's Redemption Chapter 975
"You silly girl, what nonsense are you spouting?" Briana gave Lena a light slap on the arm. "Mom, if I marry Uncle Aaron, then he won’t have a reason to leave, right? Isn’t that a good thing?" Lena continued to test the waters. "Good thing? What good is there in that? Do you have any idea how many people would gossip about you, me, and the Ace family if that happened?" Briana’s concerns mirrored Lena’s own fears. "But Uncle Aaron has already stated that he’s no longer part of the Ace family. Who would still have anything to say?" Lena argued, trying to persuade her mother. Briana shook her head. "People will always find something to gossip about. Even if he’s not part of the Ace family, they’ll still wag their tongues." "Didn’t you always say, ‘Walk your own path and let others talk’? Let them say what they want. It’s not like we’re losing a piece of flesh," Lena quipped, spouting her own brand of twisted logic. Briana finally realized something was off. She twisted Lena’s

"I'm just amazed that pregnancy has made you smarter. Most people say pregnancy makes women forgetful for three years," Hayden teased Keira with a rare grin. Keira gave him a gentle kick. "Did Aaron ask you to pass on his thoughts?" "No, it's just what I think," Hayden replied earnestly. He would never lie to her. Keira sighed softly. "Love between two people isn’t something outsiders can meddle with. But maybe Aaron’s actions today will help Lena realize what’s in her heart." "Let’s wait and see," Hayden said, finishing the massage before applying lotion and stretch mark cream to Keira's belly. "Baby, give Dad a little kick," Hayden said, stroking her belly. Right after he spoke, the baby really did kick. Keira couldn’t help but laugh; this little one was so obedient to their dad. "Just a few kicks, alright? Mommy needs to sleep, so don’t bother her," Hayden instructed. The baby obediently kicked a few more times before settling down. Keira was curious. "I think our ba
Love's Redemption Chapter 973
Keira stared at the messages Lena had just sent her. She could sense something was up, so she immediately called her, but Lena declined the call. Instead, she replied with another message: [I’m at my grandparents’ house, and my mother is here too.] Keira had no choice but to keep texting her: [Did Aaron upset you today?] Lena sent Keira a string of ellipses. That endless row of dots made her even more curious. [What happened exactly?] Keira pressed. Lena replied: [He brought his girlfriend home today.] After sending that message, she also sent Keira a screenshot of a payment receipt and added: [Spot the highlight.] Keira zoomed in on the image and finally noticed the note: Name Change Fee. [Wow, how generous! 600,000 dollars just for a name change fee. What did you call her to make it worth that much?] Keira was shocked. Lena then sent Keira a voice message, explaining the situation in detail. At the end, she added: [He used to tell me how long he’d liked me, but now he’s

"Aaron, I want to add Lena on WhatsApp." Xandra actually asked Aaron, gently tugging on his sleeve with a delicate and endearing expression that made her look pitifully lovable. Aaron glanced at her, his gaze filled with a warmth Lena was all too familiar with. Once upon a time, he had looked at her the same way. Now, he could look at other women like that. So, never believe a man when he says things like, I've liked you for years. "If you want to add her, then add her," Aaron's approval made Xandra look at him with delight. Lena, however, truly didn’t want to add her. She and Xandra weren’t close, and they likely wouldn’t ever be. Lena didn’t enjoy socializing with strangers, so she smiled faintly. "Aren’t you afraid I might tell her something about you, Uncle Aaron?" Aaron’s gaze turned cold and distant, his voice calm. "There’s nothing about me that Xandy can’t know." Ha! Lena sneered inwardly. If that were the case, why had he just warned her earlier? Double stand
