Love's Redemption Chapter 428
Tanya's scream ripped through the air, loud enough to make my ears ring."Don't provoke her," a firefighter warned again, but Jace waved him off.Jace knew, just like I did, that Tanya didn't actually want to die. This was all a show, a desperate act to make everyone believe she was at her breaking point.Sure enough, after her outburst, she shot a wild look at Jace and me. "You think I'm bluffing, don't you? You think I'd never actually jump, that this is just about money. Well, today, I'll show you—either I'm serious, or this is all just a game."She took another step back, inching closer to the edge.My heart raced. Even if she didn't want to die, one wrong move, and she would. The whole thing was way too real.I glanced at her swollen belly. I didn't know exactly how far along she was, but it had been over six months since Jace and I broke up. That baby had to be at least six or seven months in.Tanya might be playing some twisted game, but that baby? Totally innocent. My ch
Love's Redemption Chapter 429
Tanya suddenly shook her head. "I don't care! I need an answer, Jace—are you gonna marry me or not?"Jace's jaw tightened. He could've easily said yes just to chill her out.But nope. Instead, he hit her with the truth. "Tanya, I told you, I'll compensate you, but marriage? That's not happening."Even the firefighters gave him a 'Dude, seriously?' look.Tanya's eyes filled with desperation, and she practically screeched, "The only thing I want is you!""You set me up, and you're responsible for Desmond's death. The fact that I'm not holding you accountable is because you're carrying his kid," Jace said, his voice as cold as ice.Yeah, Jace was never one to back down from blackmail, not even as a kid. His mom always said he was stubborn as a rock."The child? It's always about the child!" Tanya pressed a hand to her belly. "So that's it? I'm just some baby factory to you?"You care about this baby, don't you? "If you don't agree, I'll end this right now!" and started hitting her
Love's Redemption Chapter 430
The baby was born prematurely—seven and a half months.He lay in the incubator, nearly translucent. Just looking at him made my heart ache.Lena couldn't say if the baby would make it. It was all up to fate now.Tanya didn't actually succeed in jumping, but her baby sure paid the price. And she didn't get out unscathed either. Her uterus ruptured, she bled out like crazy, and they had to do an emergency hysterectomy just to keep her alive. Barely.She was lucky to be alive.Honestly, I didn't care about her anymore. But the baby... that poor kid. Desmond's parents didn't even acknowledge him, and now he was fatherless. With Tanya as his mom? Yeah, the future wasn't looking too bright. If she cared even a little, she wouldn't have kept putting him at risk with her wild decisions.When Hayden showed up at the hospital to get me, he looked... furious. Lena bumped me with her shoulder. "Uh-oh, your man's pissed."Yeah, I saw it."You're still tangled up in this Jace mess," Lena mut

Lena smiled. "Sure.""Oh wow, that was fast. Did you even ask Prof. Neumann?" I teased.Lena waved it off. "Don't ask."I caught on immediately. "Sooo, just the two of you tomorrow?""Yeah, but we wouldn't mind a double date," Lena winked, turning to walk away.Watching her leave, I knew she didn't want Nate going anywhere, but she'd never admit it. Stubborn, as always."We should treat them to a nice dinner tomorrow. Maybe set up a little... surprise," I whispered to Hayden.He blinked. "What surprise?"I leaned closer. "A luxury presidential suite."Hayden didn't go that far, but he did set up dinner at Seavora's fanciest restaurant. Classy move."Mrs. Hart, you and your hubby are really pulling out all the stops," Lena laughed.Ever since Hayden proposed, Lena had started calling me the future Mrs. Hart. It still made me blush."Prof. Neumann saved Yuna's life. This is the least we can do," Hayden said, nodding at Nate.Nate, looking sharp in a tailored suit, was a far

Wait, what? Kept the Johnstons waiting?It wasn't just what Kylian said that threw me off—it was the fact he said "we" while talking to Hayden.Lena shot me a confused look, but I stayed quiet, holding my breath, waiting for Hayden's response.There he was, in his perfectly tailored suit, looking all sharp and in control, like a guy who's used to making big decisions. Kylian—who was supposed to be the heir of the Hart family—suddenly seemed like the sidekick."If it's that hard, just make the decision yourself," Hayden said coolly.Kylian looked relieved. "Then I'll finalize things with them today," he said. "When will you be free?"Hayden's brow furrowed. "Not anytime soon."Kylian blinked, clearly thrown off by the brush-off. Just as he was about to say something else, Hayden cut him off. "I'm having dinner with my fiancée and friends. We'll talk later."And with that, Hayden walked away, leaving Kylian standing there with his hand half-raised, before he just let it drop, tot

I glanced out at the glittering skyline. "Let me guess. You're thinking if something was gonna happen between Nate and Retta, it would've by now. So, there's no room for you, right?""Exactly! When I liked Nate, he liked me back. We've always been in sync, even if we weren't together," Lena said, totally confident and glowing.Whether she was really feeling it or just talking herself up, I didn't want to crush her vibe. So, I nodded. "You guys are totally soulmates."Then, a mischievous thought popped into my head, and I nudged her. "So, have you and Nate taken things to the next level yet? You know, soulmates and body mates?"Lena's face turned bright pink. "Not yet.""Wait, is it him? Or are you holding back?" I asked, way too curious now."Something just... I don't know, isn't right yet."She knew she could tell me anything, no judgment."Ohhh, I know!" I grinned. "How about Hayden and I book you guys a suite tonight? If the mood's right, everything else will just click."L
Love's Redemption Chapter 434
Hayden and I ended up snagging the room right next to Nate's, which worked out perfectly because, let's be real, I was dying to see if Lena was gonna spend the night with him. I didn't really care about staying at the hotel—just straight-up nosy.The second we got to our room, we made a beeline for the balcony. I wasn't even all the way outside before I caught Nate's voice floating over."Lena, have you ever thought about working abroad? With your skills, you'd kill it overseas," he said, voice all soft and serious.I crouched down, peeking over the edge. Sure enough, there they were—Nate had his arm around Lena, both leaning against the railing, staring at the city lights."I haven't really thought about it... until tonight," Lena's voice was quieter than I'd ever heard it—like a totally different person from the cool doctor I knew."Would you consider it?" Nate asked, still soft.She didn't answer right away, so he kept going. "If you wanted, I could help set things up for you.

"And... hard," I teased, watching Hayden's jaw tighten.He didn't say a word, but I could feel the tension. His grip loosened on me, but his mood was obvious."Seriously, Hayden?" I tugged on his arm, pouting like a pro. "You're not actually mad, right?""No," he muttered, but his face said, 'absolutely yes.'"Come on, you're not the type to get all worked up over something like this, are you?" I tilted my head, trying to figure him out."I know exactly what you mean," he said, lifting me like I was nothing and plopping me right onto the hotel room's rocking chair.I laughed, wrapping my legs around his waist. "Oh, so you think you've got me all figured out, huh?" I tugged him closer.He swallowed hard, trying so badly to keep his cool, but the way his body stiffened under my touch? Oh yeah, I had him right where I wanted.He looked so serious, almost adorable in this new, flustered way. I couldn't help but push more."What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" I smirked, my legs sti

“To put it simply, when I’m with him, my heartbeat isn’t the same. I know what that means. But our relationship is what it is. Even if there’s no blood relation, it’s still not possible,” Lena admitted, finally revealing her feelings. Her ties and concerns all revolved around Aaron’s identity. “What if he could handle everything? Including your parents and grandparents?” Keira pressed further. Lena gave a bitter smile. “And could he stop others from gossiping?” “Are you living for others? Who doesn’t talk about others, and who hasn’t been talked about behind their back?” Keira tried to reason with her. “Rea, humans are social creatures. It’s impossible not to care what others think,” Lena sighed, blowing at her bangs and sending them flying upward. At that moment, Nina ran over, her face brimming with joy. “I found a drawing on a leaf!” She held up a leaf and pointed to it. “Doesn’t this look like a turtle lying down?” She wasn’t wrong—it really did look like a turtle.
Love's Redemption Chapter 962
Keira knew Sasha had no ill intentions, but what about others? In this society, there were very few who genuinely wanted the best for you. Even if they wished you well, they rarely wanted you to do better than them. Had she been too high-profile lately? Did she provoke envy and jealousy? Actually, she hadn’t done anything to promote herself—not even for this little courtyard. But she couldn’t control the guests who came here and spread the word. Maybe the stalker Hayden mentioned showed up because of this. Sasha only left in the afternoon, but Nina refused to go no matter what. She insisted on staying with Keira. Since Keira had already promised to take her out to play, she let her stay. Besides, Nina was well-behaved and not mischievous. Her lively energy brought a unique vitality to the courtyard. When Lena arrived, Nina stood at the entrance and greeted her adorably, “Welcome!” “Oh my, where did this little beauty come from? Is your boss hiring child laborers now?
Love's Redemption Chapter 961
After Keira's checkup, Hayden returned. The first thing Keira did was look him over from head to toe, relieved to find he hadn’t acquired any new injuries. “Did you get anything out of him?” “He confessed he was broke and was looking to steal some money,” Hayden replied. “That simple?” Lena was skeptical. Keira doubted it too, and judging by Hayden’s expression, he wasn’t convinced either. She looked at him, seeking confirmation. “Do you think that’s all there is to it?” “This man does have a prior record of theft and robbery,” Hayden said. “I let him go but had someone tail him. We’ll investigate further by tracking his contacts.” With that, he took the checkup report from Lena. Lena explained, “It’s nothing serious, just pregnancy-related. Make sure she gets foot massages, soaks her feet, and avoids standing too much.” After the checkup was completed, Keira arranged for Lena to visit them later at the courtyard and left with Hayden. - When they arrived at the courty

“What happened? Did you get into a fight?” That was Keira's first reaction upon seeing Hayden’s injury. Lena glanced at his wound. “Come over and sit down. I’ll take care of it for you.” “It’s nothing,” Hayden brushed off the offer and turned to Keira instead. “You were right. Someone was watching us from the courtyard.” Keira's heart skipped a beat. “What? Did they follow us to the hospital?” “Yes, I caught them. I’ll get to the bottom of this soon.” A cold, menacing glint flashed in Hayden’s eyes—something Keira hadn’t seen in a long time. The fact that he was injured meant whoever had been following them wasn’t ordinary. A shiver ran down Keira's spine. But at least they’d caught the person. “How’s the checkup? Is everything okay?” Despite the situation, Hayden’s first concern was still his wife. Knowing he had just dealt with the stalker, Keira decided not to mention the additional tests Lena had ordered. “It’s fine. With Lena here, what could possibly go wrong?”
Love's Redemption Chapter 959
Aaron had a knack for handling people, never revealing all his cards at once. "I'm pursuing Lil' Lena," he said calmly. Ron's eyes widened, his breath catching in his throat. A few seconds later, he finally reacted, and everything became clear. Lena had asked him to play the role of her boyfriend. Out of respect for her privacy, he hadn’t pried into the reason. Later, he’d asked Hayden, who simply told him to go along with it and not ask too many questions. Now he understood—it was because Aaron was pursuing her. “You’re already aware of my situation with her,” Aaron continued. “This process won’t be smooth, so it’s a good idea for her to use you as a stand-in boyfriend for now.” Ron understood perfectly. His role was to act as a cover, fooling the fake mother-in-law like yesterday while giving Aaron and Lena space to start a secret relationship. This was precisely Aaron’s plan. He wanted Lena to first accept him, to spend time together, and build their connection before
Love's Redemption Chapter 958
This question—"Willing?"—kept echoing in Lena’s mind. It haunted her so much that she spent yet another sleepless night. Her answer was clear: she couldn’t. She knew Aaron had made his move and wouldn’t give up easily. But she simply couldn’t agree. And if she didn’t say yes, there was nothing he could do about it. Besides, she truly saw him as her younger uncle—there was no way she could see him as a boyfriend. “Dr. Lane, not sleeping well lately?” the hospital director asked as soon as he saw her. One glance, and he could tell she looked exhausted. “A bit of insomnia,” Lena admitted honestly. “Is it because you don’t have a boyfriend? Want me to introduce you to a few?” The director, ever so responsible, even took it upon himself to worry about her personal life. Lena glanced at the sparse hair on his head and chuckled. “Director, I’ll find someone myself. No need for you to concern yourself.” Aaron hadn’t gotten an answer from her, nor had he pursued her aggressively
Love's Redemption Chapter 957
"I've thought about it, and I have a plan. I’ll make them accept it. This is something I need to consider. You don’t have to worry," Aaron said with a tone of responsibility. Lena fell silent. A few seconds later, she replied, "Even if they accept it, I can't... Uncle, I’ve always seen you as my uncle and never felt anything else." Ron’s apartment was on the fifth floor, giving Lena a clear view of his face. His expression was slightly tense as he continued looking up at her. Though she couldn’t see his eyes, she could still feel the depth of emotion in them, and the loneliness he must have felt after being rejected. Lena lowered her gaze, unable to watch any longer. "Uncle, we have such a good relationship, don’t ruin it, please." "Do you know how many years I’ve liked you?" Aaron suddenly asked. Lena’s heart skipped a beat. How many years had he liked her? Did that mean he’d had feelings for her all along? But he had never mentioned it, and she had never sensed it. He
Love's Redemption Chapter 956
"Cough, cough..." Lena started coughing uncontrollably as Ron casually spoke. Even a real son-in-law wouldn’t start calling his girlfriend’s mother "Mom" right away, let alone someone pretending to be one. Lena stared at him blankly, and Ron winked at her with a gesture that seemed to say "Don’t worry." He then turned to speak to Briana on the phone. "Mom, I’ve been with Lena for a few months now. She’s been too shy to introduce me to you because she was afraid you wouldn’t approve of me... Yes, yes, we’re basically an underground couple." Lena rolled her eyes in disbelief. What kind of nonsense was this? She tried to grab his phone, not wanting to hear any more of his fabrication, but Ron dodged and continued speaking to Briana. "Mom, I’m really her boyfriend, not fake... Otherwise, why would she be here with me so late at night, right?" Ron certainly had a way with words, and Lena realized that asking him to pretend to be her boyfriend might be the best decision she’d made
Love's Redemption Chapter 955
Lena took a deep breath. As expected, her mother was not going to let this slide, but she still didn’t give up and continued testing her. "So why is it okay for others but not for me?" Briana scoffed. "If you’re looking for a man ten years older, are you looking for a husband or another father? And if you want someone younger, they’re not even of legal age yet—are you planning to take advantage of them? And what’s with all this talk about uncles or cousins? You want your dad and me to jump into the river?" Lena deflated. If she were to really get together with Aaron, they wouldn’t need to jump into a river—their blood pressure would probably be enough to do them in. "Lena, have you done something that goes against ethics and morals?" As sharp as ever, her mother quickly turned the tables and started questioning her. "What are you talking about? What could I have done? You tell me," Lena denied with all the confidence she could muster. Briana didn’t believe her. "Really? If yo
