All Chapters of His Defiant Bride: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“Ehm… What are you two doing with the door open?” Thea snapped her head back so fast that she felt the slight beginning of another headache and winced. Peter was standing at the door looking at them with a disgusted look holding a pack of drinks and another bag probably filled with enough junk food to make Lucian wince.“The door is open because I was still picking up groceries from the car as you must have noticed and what normal people do instead of barging in is ringing the fracking doorbell,” Lucian said touching her head for a moment.When she gave him a smile he sighed and stood up. It was interesting how easily Peter and Lucian were getting along so well that Thea wondered what happened with the awkwardness between them. She still remembered the first day those two met when she went out to a bar with Peter. He was concerned about this man who Pen kept talking about and decided to message talk to him in her stead. He ended up playing some kind of matchmaker in the end giving Th

Lucian sighed as he made his way up the stairs listening to the three friends’ laughter following after him.“Woah… Seems like we’re hated…” Haden joked and Lucian smiled.“Well, I did know that Thea had something against corporates, in fact, she refused my offer to work at Chim&Bio quite vehemently…”“You offered her a job?! I never heard about this,”Haden answered handing him a box to help with.“Back when we first met. She had made her feelings about working in a company very clear. But I didn’t think that Pen and Peter were of the same mind. Just when I think that they practically have nothing in common, something comes up and reminds me just how long their relationship is…” Lucian said.“Jealous?” Haden asked and Lucian paused.“Because I am. Pen and I even got in a fight last week because of this…” Haden added and Lucian paused looking at his friend for a moment, “Right before Thea’s accident,” He trailed off looking guilty.“What did she tell you?” Lucian asked.“She was actua

Lucian was getting mad. This woman was clearly trying to belittle Thea in front of him making her opinion seem like it doesn’t matter. Thea on the other hand looked at her as if she didn’t care making her signature smile whenever someone was unsuccessfully trying to make her angry.Which reminded Lucian of when he was trying to do the exact same thing to her in the past and failed miserably until he went too far and made her cry. But now, when she asked him with that sweet tone to hear the interior designer out, Lucian began to wonder what she was planning to do.Lucian was about to walk into the conversation when he felt his phone vibrate and he looked down at it. A text from James. It was a test that made him take in the current situation from a whole new point of view.Walking toward them, he glimpsed the woman glaring at Thea as she pulled out her suggestions and began speaking.Lucian was barely listening his eyes traveling back to Thea wondering what was bugging him about her. H

“Hello, young master. Good to see that you’re still a late riser like always,” Said the sharp older woman who looked like she was in her early fifties.Thea watched as Lucian rubbed the back of his head and looked at the woman uncomfortable.“Good to see you too, Mrs Kyle. You seem to be in good health,” He mumbled as he stood in the den in his pajama bottoms and nothing on top. Yupp, some eye candy so early in the morning for her. But probably not the best attire to greet their new housekeeper…The older woman looked at him intently for a moment before sighing and turning toward Thea who was still standing beside the door because Mrs Kyle had yet to step into the house.“Nice to meet you, you must be Miss Thea. Mr Salvator told me everything about you. How are you feeling?” Mrs Kyle asked with the same stern expression on her face making Thea somehow feel the contradiction between her warm words and her cold expression.“Nice to meet you. I am feeling much better, thank you. Would yo

“So she’s staying with you until you completely recover,” Pen trailed off and Thea nodded.“Although I don’t like the idea much but I don’t really have a choice. Besides, the woman is beyond helpful. It’s like she’s a mind reader/ robot. She has everything ready and on time. My house had never been this clean and orderly, and after that first incident, she barely ever stepped out of line. She is a bit strict about our diet and having breakfast every morning, it’s like a religion for her. But I feel like I’m much healthier thanks to that,” Thea explained as Pen leaned on her elbow listening to her with a blank expression.“That sounds like an extremely happy problem to have,” she said giving her a judging stare and Thea rolled her eyes.“Come on! Stop being like that! It’s not like you would have some stranger in your house twenty-four/ seven and wouldn’t complain about it. Put yourself in my place,” Thea complained and Pen sighed.“Alright. I can see where this can be annoying. What d
