"Rea, you're back?" Wayne's voice carried a mix of surprise and excitement as his eyes met mine."Yeah, just got back today," I replied, putting extra weight on 'today.'Lena didn't miss a beat. "Just got back and already bumped into you? What are the odds?" Her tone was all innocent charm, but the undertone was sharp enough to slice through Wayne's polished demeanor.He gave a quick nod toward the upper level. "Some high school friends organized a get-together here a few days ago."Before I could respond, someone called out to him. "Wayne, we're heading out!"He waved toward the group but lingered, glancing back at our table. "Do you two need anything else?" His tone was casual, but the offer was clear—he was ready to cover the bill.Lena beat me to it, flashing a polite smile. "Already paid through my phone. Thanks, though."Wayne's focus shifted back to me. "Rea, after you've had time to settle, come over for dinner. My parents have been asking about you.""Let me treat you

If Jace actually lost his arm over this, I'd owe him big time—like, a lifetime of "owe you." But honestly, I didn't want to get tangled up with him any further. All I could do was try to talk some sense into him."It's not that bad," he muttered, clearly lying through his teeth. His face was so pale. "A few more treatments, and I'll be good as new."Uh-huh. Sure. But since he looked like he was about to pass out, I held back my argument.Instead, he glanced at me and said, "Now that you're back, I feel like I'll heal faster."I understood the meaning behind his words, but he quickly switched gears like it was nothing. "Steve's been asking about you, by the way. If I hadn't stopped him, he probably would've filed a missing person's report."Cutting everyone off for a few days had definitely caused a ripple effect."Is he coming by today?" I asked, rolling with the topic change."Don't know. Let me check." He started to grab his phone, but the moment he moved, pain shot across his

Jace's gaze darkened, and I gave him a faint smile. "Even if you don't say it, I already know who it is.""And who do you think it is?" he asked, calm but clearly trying to gauge my reaction.I met his eyes and didn't answer.Jace shifted, sitting up straighter—like he was actually about to climb out of bed, injury be damned. "You don't think it's Wayne, do you? Are you seriously planning to be with him just to get back at me or... avenge Hayden?"Of course, after years of dating me, he could still read my mind like a book."If it's not him, then tell me who it is," I shot back."Rea, it's not Wayne. How could you even think that? But honestly..." Jace said, shifting his stance. "I don't know who it is, either. Back then, I just... guessed there had to be someone pulling the strings."I stayed calm, my tone light but deliberate. "If it's not him, even better. At least I won't feel any guilt about being with him."Jace froze. "Rea..."I exhaled slowly. "Jace, we've known each o

"Obviously! Missed you treating us to lunch, too," she shot back, bold as anything."Done. Let everyone know—dinner's on me tonight at SeaView Dining," I said, not even pausing to think."Wait—seriously?" Her eyes went wide. Cute."Dead serious," I said, giving her a nod."Yay!" she squealed, doing a little bounce before running off.I couldn't help but smile. Somehow, her energy seemed to lift the whole office. The vibe felt lighter already.After dropping my bag on my desk and taking a quick look around, I decided to swing by Ron's office."Come in!"I opened the door to find Ron practically buried under a mountain of paperwork. He didn't even glance up to see who had entered.I walked closer, noticing the stacks of documents—most of them from my department.It didn't take a genius to figure out what had been going on. My peaceful break? Yeah, that had been courtesy of Ron's hard work."You've been running yourself ragged. Why not hire someone else to help out?" I asked.
Love's Redemption Chapter 624
They say men don't cry easily, especially not in front of women.But I saw it with my own eyes—Ron's face crumpling, his reddened eyes filling with tears until they spilled down his cheeks..I didn't try to comfort him. I just walked out, leaving him to grieve Hayden in his own way.Ron had said this company belonged to Hayden, though on paper, Ron was the official owner. That said everything about their bond. Hayden had trusted him enough to put everything in his hands.And now Hayden was gone. How was Ron, who'd clearly been waiting for him to come back, supposed to accept that?The pain he felt couldn't be much different from my own.I left his office and headed to Hayden's workspace. As a chief engineer, Hayden had always been hands-on for R&D, so his office was packed with experimental tools and equipment. Yet, despite all the chaos of his work, the room was immaculate, every item in its place—so very him.My gaze landed on the notebook on his desk, left open to a page of d
Love's Redemption Chapter 625
It seemed that, aside from Yara, Ron was another person who truly knew Hayden.At least, he knew more about the dangers Hayden had faced than I ever did.But I wasn't ready to dig into Hayden's past struggles. Just thinking about the pain he might have endured made my chest tighten. Knowing more would only make me miss him more."I don't believe it," Ron said again.I got it. Deep down, I didn't fully believe Hayden was gone either. To me, it felt like he'd just gone somewhere out of reach."Then let's just think of it as him taking a long trip," I said softly, shaking the little bell on my bracelet.Its crisp, clear chime filled the silence, soothing the ache in my chest like a gentle touch.How strange. How wonderful.This little bell, the one Hayden left me, felt like a lifeline pulling me back from the edge."Let me process this, and then I'll give you something," Ron said suddenly."What is it?""You'll see when I give it to you," he replied before walking away.I want

"Rea!" Wayne's voice sounded as warm as ever, but now it had a sharp edge, like a thorn pressing into my chest.How could someone who seemed so harmless hide such ruthless obsession? He'd crushed anyone in his path without a second thought.I swallowed back the bitterness and got straight to the point. "I need your help.""Mm, what is it?" His tone wasn't the same anymore. Running RiverwaveCorp in Jace's place had clearly gone to his head.Power didn't just change a person's mindset—it bled into their every move."My former colleague Demi Young... She's working in your company. She's a good friend, but something happened, and she quit. I can't get in touch with her. I need you to help me find her.""Demi Young?" Wayne echoed, his tone thoughtful before he agreed. "Alright.""Thanks," I said, keeping my voice calm and polite, the way I always did with him."Rea," he said softly, my name hanging in the air before he continued, "Can we meet in person?""Sure. When?" I answered wi
Love's Redemption Chapter 627
I let out a weak laugh. Ron wasn't the type to call just to shoot the breeze—he'd probably wanted to make sure I was still breathing.Lifting my wrist, I kissed the tiny bell dangling there. "Hayden, your buddy's still got my back for you."By evening, Wayne showed up at the office to pick me up.Standing in the golden light of sunset, he practically glowed, his whole figure framed like some kind of cinematic shot.People walking by couldn't help but stare. A few bold girls even called out, "Mister, you're so handsome!"Wayne didn't even blink, his eyes locked on me like the rest of the world had faded to static."Looks like you're quite the heartbreaker now," I teased, stepping closer.His smile was faint. "And you're still as cheeky as ever.""Any news on Demi?" I asked, the weight of my worry still pressing on me."Not yet. If there's news, you'll be the first to know," Wayne said, his tone steady. But then he hesitated. "I've had someone look into her boyfriend."The paus

“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
