All Chapters of Taming the Mayor's Wrath: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

The following morning, Lucas proceeded to wake me up early, as we had discussed the night before; nevertheless, this went against what I was expecting to happen. Lucas woke me up early, not because of that but because he ordered me to pack my things. According to him, we were leaving and heading back to the country today. This was in contrast to the plan that we had made the night before to stroll down the beachfront early in the morning with Luke. "Why?" I asked bluntly."Let's go home, Adeline. I want to go home."As I jumped out of bed in a hurry, my eyes drew further apart. I could sense the desperation in Lucas's voice. I was sure I must have been dreaming the whole thing. But when I saw Lucas sitting on the edge of the bed and staring up at me with dreamy eyes, I knew something was off. It dawned on me that I was not in dreamland, as I had previously believed. Actually, Lucas was having a conversation with me about it."Huh? What do you mean, Lucas?""Come on, Adeline. Hurry up

As soon as I emerged from the cubicle, I proceeded immediately to the sink to wash my hands. There was a giant mirror there, which allowed me to see my entire physical appearance in incredible detail. As a representation of my successes, I force a smile on my face. I did it in a leisurely way, but I checked all about the area. The number of people waiting in line has decreased since earlier in the day. That makes me laugh a little bit. It's almost as if someone is trying to see how much patience I have. I washed my hands and then stared at myself in the mirror multiple times for a few seconds each time to determine whether or not I still looked decent despite everything that I had gone through."I still look presentable."When I looked up, I was taken aback to see Adeline's beaming face standing right next to me. The discovery caused my eyes to immediately expand. My complexion became as pale as though, at that very moment, I had seen a ghost that looked just like myself. I was no lon

A week has passed quickly since we returned from the other country. Lucas has been busy since the day we returned. I expected that; what I didn't expect was that we would hardly see each other given the size of the mansion. He was often in his office, and that's where his world revolved. He can't even do the job as my husband. However, I still couldn't get asked for his full attention. I tried to understand our situation. I just poured my attention and love on Luke, as we were not able to celebrate his birthday again. When Lucas was occupied with his paperwork and the things that only God knows, I slept in Luke's room often."Adeline, aren't you done yet? You were in front of the mirror for a while ago now."It was Lucas who was obviously getting impatient waiting for me. Just this morning he invited me to eat dinner outside, and of course, I already said yes without giving it a second thought. Lucas said he would get back to me because he just had the chance to spend time with me ton

Despite the fact that his words of concern impacted me deeply, I couldn't help but feel terrified. In spite of that, I am very well aware that Lucas wasn't fed up at all. The moment he shared such knowledge with me, I was already on the edge of breaking down even more and more loudly. Not because I was moved by what he said, but because of all of the challenges I am currently facing in my life. It appears to be difficult and burdensome to settle. Lucas is completely unaware of what I was able to overcome. He had no idea of the fact that his wife was the cause of my current struggle and that it was making it difficult for me to breathe."You must take care of yourself, Adeline. What if you accidentally bumped your head? You'll forget about your son and me again. It's hard and sad to see it happen again, as it was a new adjustment. It would be nice if your old memories would come back if that happened, but what if not? What if the result of what happened to you was worse? We will go bac

In order to cover up the sadness and embarrassment that had so rudely engulfed my whole body at that time, I closed my eyes tightly to hide it from Lucas. I don't want him to see my tears fall again and make him more concerned. I can't stop my lips from trembling at the thought of Lucas finding the truth behind all of this mess. I am not yet ready to explain again. A terrible fear still immerses me, no matter how hard I try to hide it from Lucas. After a while, I felt one of Lucas' palms touching my jaw as if he were tracing my jawline down to my inlet. It went up again and ended next to my chin. He holds it still, as if he wants me to see his reaction and facial expression presently.The proximity of his face to mine allowed me to detect the warmth of his breath on my skin even before he was striving to breathe it in. When I opened my eyes, which were still a little bit wet from weeping, Lucas greeted me with a calm kiss on my lips, using his soft lips that had a taste of the glass o
