Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1601 - 챕터 1610

Seeing how his housemaids were ridiculing Stella behind their backs, Lucas thought the fault lay with him. "Stella, it's my fault for not properly managing my staff, you can scold or hit me if you want."'Scold him!'Hit him!'What's the point?'Will those people stop cursing my name once I've scolded and hit him?'Moreover, Stella did not care about the unsolicited opinion of such people. "Mr. White, I wouldn't dare to hit you."That sentence alone choked whatever Lucas wanted to say in his throat. "Let's... let's go have a look at the rooms then.""Thank you," Stella said.Lucas took her suitcase and led her into the elevator.There were three floors in the villa, and before Lucas could even press the button for the third floor, Stella pressed the second floor's button.Normally, the master bedroom was on the third floor while the guest rooms were on the second floor.Now that she was in an unclear relationship with him, she would never go to his bedroom on the third floor

Steve did not know what Rian was thinking as he tossed an envelope before Rian with a loud tap. "You're already in deep shit, just see what you've done?!""What have I done to make you so angry?" Rian took the envelope and opened it. He looked at the contents of it before smirking and letting out an indifferent look. "It's just something between a man and a woman, it's nothing to make you so angry."Steve was so furious he took a glass beside him and tossed it at Rian. "I couldn't care less if you want to fool around with women. But now everything is burning down around you and you're still smothering yourself in a woman's bosom, and then to have these pictures sent over here...""Dad, is someone from the White Corporation following me?" It was only then did Rian realize what was going on. The pictures were of him with Hannah fooling around inside the car, and not long after he did that intimate act with her, the pictures arrived at Steve's hands.Does that not mean that Lucas had

Lucas floored the accelerator, racing back to his villa, where lights were blazing in both the yard and living room. As he quickened his pace, his heart leapt with a flicker of hope.No surprise, the living room was empty, devoid of the scene he longed to witness. A wry smile twisted his lips. "What was I even thinking?"He knew the Stella of now was far from the Stella he had first met.Back then, even knowing she was waiting at home, he would linger at the base of the stairs, reluctant to go up.He had deliberately crafted the illusion of a playboy lifestyle, leading her astray. His only communication with her when he got home was the cold, mechanical act of bedroom intimacy.Initially, Stella would wait up for him, her face lighting up the moment Lucas walked in. She would lean in for a kiss, her passion in their intimate moments burning bright. Afterwards, cuddling in his arms, she would whisper softly, "Lucas, let's have a baby."Though he wanted to nod in agreement, he woul

Stella said, "Does what I think even matter to you?""Of course it does," Lucas shot back."I thought we agreed — one child, and no chance of us getting back together. Ever."Lucas remained silent."I'm going to bed," Stella declared, rising to her feet. But before she could take a step, Lucas grabbed her, pulling her into a tight embrace."Let me go!" Stella demanded, struggling against his grip."I won't let go.""Lucas, if you keep this up, I'll have no choice but to move out."At her words, Lucas immediately released her. "Stella, it's not safe out there. You can't go anywhere but here."Shooting him a piercing look, Stella turned away and walked off.She was well aware of the dangers outside: the looming threat of the Sandow family, the maniac Stellie at large with sinister plans, and the unsafe Florivera, making even Hayshiport a risky venture.Stella was acutely aware of the perilous world she was ensnared in. No place was safe outside, which was why she ended up back

A year later, in a hotel room, a woman lay on a large, messy bed. Clutching the sheets close to shield her body, she looked both panicked and smugly triumphant as she stared at another woman standing before the bed.A man jolted upright, reaching desperately to grab the hand of the woman in front of the bed. She quickly stepped back, evading his grasp."Scarlett, listen to me," the man pleaded urgently. "It wasn't my choice to be with this woman. She schemed and seduced me, and last night, I was drunk. That's why I ended up sleeping with her."You have to believe me; even if I slept with her, you're the only one in my heart. I love you, and only you. It's impossible for me to love her, let alone marry her—"While Stella was deep in the throes of betrayal, and before the actor playing the scoundrel could finish his lines, a figure burst in. He delivered a swift kick to the scoundrel, followed by a verbal and physical assault."You can't even control your own desires, and you dare t
