Cinderella's love story Chapter 102 Jaime's Plan 1
"Jaime." She called instinctively. When he stopped, it was too late for regrets. "I... I'll come with you."Moments later, they rushed out of the building together, and she followed him to the parking lot. Sitting in the car, Vivian twisted her hands together nervously. Juke, poor nephew. Where did he go? Is he running away?Jaime stopped the car in front of Juke's elementary school and hurried inside to meet Juke's teacher, a middle-aged woman with thick, round glasses."Juke's uncle." The teacher greeted."Are there any strangers around?" Jaime began his interrogation immediately. "Around the school, are there any suspicious people?""Do not have."Jaime took a deep breath, trying to maintain his patience. "Did Juke talk about any place he wanted to go?""No, he didn't say anything." The teacher shook her head. "When the children gathered this morning, one of them noticed that Juke was gone.""What do you mean?" Vivian interrupted. "Shouldn't teachers be around students?""I... I me
Cinderella's love story Chapter 103 Jaime's Plan 2
Two years ago when Vivian was still at the Miro mansion, Juke lived a free life. Now Juke clings to Vivian and won't let go. Jaime thinks it's his fault that his nephew is afraid Vivian will leave without saying a word.He was also afraid, afraid that after Vivian said goodbye, he would never see her again, afraid that Vivian would somehow leave again.Fear is like a shadow that turns people into despair, into something they have never been before. Paranoia is the worst of fear.A long-buried desire within Jaime comes to life as he watches Vivian and Juke feed each other like the family they always belonged to. If he and Vivian had children, Juke had a playmate, how happy they would be.If he had gotten Vivian pregnant two years ago, she would have returned to him because he was sure that she would not leave the child without a father. She wants her child to live the life she didn't have, she will give up her pride to return to him.If only...After eating, they went for a walk, bough

“Are you crazy?” Clinton shouted over the phone. “What do you want my wife to do?”Jaime sighed into the phone as he paced back and forth in his bedroom. "Please. I have no other choice.""You could get in big trouble for this." The friend scolded. "You said besides her there is also a lawyer.""I'm willing to accept." Jaime declared determinedly. "I believe everything worked out.""How can you be so sure?" Clinton was skeptical. "I thought you said Vivian didn't want to return because you two couldn't get along.""I need to try," Jaime said. "So what's your answer? Will you help me?""What do I get out of this?" Clinton asked."Whatever you need later, I will help."~~~~~Jaime was not at work the next morning as Vivian expected. Not minding his presence too much, she sat down at her desk, wondering when he would arrive. She wants to know if Juke is okay and plans to tell him that she wants to take Juke to the movies to cheer him up. The whole afternoon passed, and she still didn't s
Cinderella's love story Chapter 105 She is back 2
Something burned in Vivian's stomach, she felt like smoke was rising. It took a lot of effort for her to suppress her anger."I heard your mother left you," Luna smirked. "Maybe in time, when Jaime sees your true colors, he will finally leave you, because I don't believe that even one percent of your feelings for him are real. "The door opened and Aiden walked in. Surprise flashed across his face when he saw that Vivian was not alone. Raising her hand to her head, Vivian realized her hair had become disheveled when Luna touched her head, pressing her hand down there."I'm going. It's nice to meet you." Luna said goodbye and turned to leave.When she left, Vivian awkwardly turned to look at the secretary, giving a small smile. "Have you heard any news from the president?""He'll come by later," Aiden replied placing a file on the desk, smiling politely before going out.Vivian sighed, and sat down in the chair, leaning back. She allowed her to relax a bit before removing the hairpin a
Cinderella's love story Chapter 106 Home is a place to return to 1
They both turned when they saw Juke move, Vivian moving her body forward. "Juke?"Juke was a pretty good actor, Jaime found that his eyes tiredly opened with much effort. The first thing his eyes looked at was Vivian."Aunt?" He spoke weakly. Jaime couldn't be sure if he was acting according to his plan or if it was his voice after suddenly waking up. "Aunt Vivian."Vivian quickly stopped him as he tried to sit up. "Don't sit up. Just lie down and rest.""Auntie's home. You're finally home." Juke exclaimed happily.Jaime wants to say that Vivian is finally home.Vivian smiled, Jaime was confident that she dared not be able to say no. Juke held her hand tightly, smiling cutely as usual. "Auntie, stay with me tonight. I want to watch movies with my friends, eat and play with my friends. I have many nice toys.""You're full of energy," Vivian commented sweetly. "I'll do anything to get you better.""But auntie, I bet..."As if on cue, Ciara quickly walked in, and Jaime stood up from the

The iron door opened as if someone had been watching her all along. A figure appeared under the pink sky, walked down the steps, and turned to look in her direction.Jaime.Closing her eyes, she sighed softly before he walked towards her. The way he walked towards her, those long legs, that look brought her mind back to the time when she first met him, her heart was still shaking like before. He was still so handsome, at that time she thought she was so lucky to have him.That was two years ago... and everything is still the same.Swallowing, Vivian backed up, bumping into the car as Jaime stopped in front of her. Suddenly she felt shy. Before she was brazen when approaching him, but now it's different. Instead of being in charge, she feels like she's being treated like a queen."Are you here?" Not paying attention to her awkward expression, Jaime took her luggage from her.Without thinking, Vivian stepped forward and snatched the suitcase from his hand. Her pajama underwear was in th

She was going crazy. Not only did Jaime do this to her on purpose, but she could sense that he enjoyed torturing her. Now she realized that she was crazy so she came back for Juke. Once again, she contemplates why she let Jaime persuade her so easily.The next ten minutes were spent slowly swallowing the food she assumed her mother had prepared earlier. That woman knew she was back, but why didn't she show her face to make Vivian feel bitter? Thinking of this, Vivian glanced around the quiet dining room. That woman was nowhere to be seen. Where exactly was she hiding?Finally, after eating, she cleared the table and put the dirty dishes in the sink, she stood looking at the dishes for a few minutes then turned on the faucet and grabbed the sponge.After the dishes were cleaned and put away, she realized Jaime hadn't come back to check if she had finished her food. What is he doing?Narrowing her eyes, she walked around. It was as if time had never passed in this house like everything

"It's been a while since we had breakfast together," Jerry commented.They sat at the table with two trays filled with muffins, bread, and two cups of iced coffee."That's right." She agreed."It seems like I hang out with you more than Hodja." Jerry smiled gently."It seems like he's an outcast now." Vivian joked and then asked thoughtfully. "What do you do at noon?""I have to go see a client," he explained. "How about you?"Vivian shrugged. "I wondered if we could have lunch together. Or I could help you with something."He frowned at her. "Aren't you still busy entering data into the system?"Vivian gently bit her tongue. "It'll be okay to take a day off.""Jaime will leave you alone?""Ignore him," Vivian said.Jerry looked at her blankly and then laughed. "You don't care, do you?""I don't care," Vivian said that she felt that Jerry was deliberately bringing up Jaime to make her realize that she sincerely cared about him."Okay. I'll call you if I'm done and then we can have lun

5 months later...The road she traveled over the years was full of rocks. Vivian doesn't understand why small things turn into such great things. Life is a circle, she ran a big circle and finally returned to the starting point.She learned that with perseverance, one can go further and that weightless dreams can take flight one day. When the road is long and dark, it means the end is near, there will be light at the end of the road.All we need to do is put in effort and courage, no one can get out of their dark path without scars.That's difficult. Her heart is small and scared but the fear is less now than before.Vivian finds it funny how dramatic and difficult situations have happened to her and Jaime. However, in the end, they somehow remained together hand in hand.She couldn't know if they were soul mates in existence, but she believed that deep down, they had built an eternal bond somewhere from the beginning. That bond remains even after two years apart.She was happy that J

"Wait." Jaime quickly pulled Vivian back as soon as she opened the bedroom door.The bags hanging from her arms collided with each other. She asked with irritation. "What's up?""Close your eyes. Don't open them until I tell you to."Vivian snorted. "Is this some trick from that stupid book Clinton lent you?"His eyes became warm. "Of course not." Even though that's a lie. This was a cliché idea he read from a chapter in a book Clinton gave him: How to Surprise a Woman.Vivian closed her eyes.“Did you close your eyes?” He leaned forward to check."Yes." She nodded. Grabbing her shoulder, he led her into the room, gently closing the door behind him. Turning on the light, he led her toward the bathroom and stopped right in the doorway."OK, you can open your eyes." He said and smiled with satisfaction when Vivian saw rose petals floating on the bathtub. The scent of lavender and rosemary flows from lit candles placed around the rim of the tub.Vivian smiled impressed. "Are you serious?

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Vivian sobbed and pulled her mother close as if if she loosened her grip, she might lose her again.It's been a long time since she touched her mother's hair, smelled her scent, or hugged her tightly. All the regrets and pain shattered in that moment, nothing was more important than this moment. "Mom."Their reunion was spent crying and apologizing. Tears fell from all the hurt they had carried over the years. Each tear carries a different story every time it falls.There hasn't been a day since their father passed away that their small family of three has felt so complete."Look at you two." Her mother cried, stroking both of her children. The fact that they survived without their mother's warm hands, she said in a hoarse voice. "You two have grown up very well. My children.""I brought my daughter. Do you want to meet her?" Hodja asked. Picking up baby Esther from the ground, he gave the baby to Mrs. Maggie. "Esther, this is your grandmother. It's your gra
Cinderella's love story Chapter 136 My closest family 2
Vivian stayed at Hodja's house, hiding there for a few days until she calmed down and thought things through, but she felt like she was causing trouble for his small family. They are happy. She couldn't go to Jerry's house, so her brother's house was the last thing on her mind.First thing in the morning, Aiden called to let her know she didn't have to go to Jaime's office anymore, and instead she could work with Jerry.The past few days, burying herself in work had helped take other thoughts from her mind, but returning to the solace of Hodja's apartment was completely different. The room was very quiet.She lay on the cold bed and couldn't sleep. When she has nothing to do, she often walks around the apartment, stopping to look out the window.For a week, she let her mind wander and her heart rest for a while. Personal space helps clear any blockages in her mind. The fog began to gradually dissipate, and she could almost breathe normally again. Her chest is not too heavy.All that w
Cinderella's love story Chapter 135 My closest family 1
"Why do you want to be my mother now? Why should I call you mother, when you're not there for me or for Hodja, why?" Bitterness filled Vivian's heart. "I don't even know you. Jaime has considered you his biological mother for half his life, more so than Hodja and I. So how do I call you mother?"Vivian's eyebrows furrowed as she looked toward her mother for an answer, but she said nothing. Breathing out a light breath, Vivian turned away to wipe away her tears."If you were there when Hodja almost died twice, I would have knelt and admitted my mistake." Vivian declared. "But you weren't there. Others can proudly say that their mothers raised them well, but Hodja and I couldn't have that happiness. I raised him in your place. I also support myself. We never lived like other people. Waking up to my mother's breakfast, we never had that breakfast.""If I could go back in time, I want to experience that once. I missed that so much that when I finally ate your food, it just made me angry a

Everything would have gone according to Jaime's plan perfectly if he hadn't mentioned her mother. Vivian's blood boiled. She doesn't want to listen. She doesn't want to.Pulling the blanket over her head, she tried to fall asleep.The next morning, she woke up to the smell of delicious food. Jaime was cooking in the kitchen. "Come and eat quickly." He said as she walked in from the bathroom.They ate quietly like strangers. That's so sad. They had come so far, having been together for less than two years apart. Their relationship is so fragile that even the slightest touch will shatter it.Stealthily glancing at Jaime, Vivian found that she didn't know what to say. Is it her fault that they are like this? Because she was too stubborn, too stubborn because she had been in the dark for too long?Because she can't come to terms with her feelings for Jaime or admit them out loud?Is cowardice driving her life so she doesn't want to hear anything from him?That's right, it's her fault, she
Cinderella's love story Chapter 133 Continuing on the old path 5
Everything was hazy in memory, the argument two years ago had fatefully ended what they had. Remembering why Vivian left him is an even bigger task than plotting to get her back.Jaime leaned forward and ruffled his hair with both hands, frustration evident. Was it the heat of the moment that made Vivian pack her suitcase that night?He can't remember. What he remembered after watching Vivian leave was standing here in this room with anger welling up in a way he had never felt before.He doesn't care if she comes back or not. Jaime regrets that. He should care, because that's what means the most to him right now.That night if he had chased Vivian right after she left, maybe they wouldn't be here constantly arguing. Raising his head from his hands, he thought. Once she left, it seemed like she had no plans to return.He ate lunch and dinner in solitude hoping Vivian would return to eat with him, even if they ate in silence better than without her.If he hadn't rushed to talk to her th

When Vivian returned, she walked into the bathroom, Jaime knew that she would be stiff with anger despite the wonderful night they had had. It's better to give her some space to blow things up, like his mother suggested.Closing his eyes to return to dreamland, he prayed that Vivian would not leave him again.After cleaning up the messy clothes scattered on the floor, he took a shower and walked out. There were no plans for today, so he didn't know what Vivian would do. Mrs. Maggie and Juke have not returned from their trip yet, only the two of them are at home.Since meeting Vivian again after two years, he's begun to learn about her temperament, adapting to it, to a degree he never had when they first knew each other.When angry, she will bite and fight back easily, making him nervous or, most annoyingly, ignoring him. Today she will be angry because he won't let her continue last night's unfinished story.Jaime couldn't figure out how he was going to fight her. He just knew they ne

His excitement increased when he felt that Vivian temporarily stopped resisting. Quickly pulling down her shirt, he smelled her scent and kissed her shoulder. He had been waiting for this.The joy that Vivian kept for him for two years. She owes him. All he could think about was carrying her to bed and claiming her as his own.Retrieving her wet lips, he inserted his tongue into her mouth, groping until his fingers rested on her thighs. He caressed her white calves, pulling her forward to get even closer.Jaime desired her slowly. He wanted to taste every part of her to be reminded of her innocence. The girl's embarrassment about undressing in front of him swept across his mind. He'd be damned if he let her get away after tonight.Releasing her lips, Jaime breathed into her mouth, their lips barely brushing each other. His whole body was aroused, he was using all his energy to satisfy his desire. Turning off the light, he picked her up and walked towards the bed.Vivian's body is attr
