All Chapters of Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

The night grew darker, and in the bedroom, only a few rays of moonlight stubbornly seeped through the curtains, casting a faint glow onto the bed.Lizzie opened her eyes and shifted slightly. Without Bruno's embrace and warmth, she felt a chill even under the silk sheets. She turned her head and looked at his sleeping face. Even his sharp features, usually so cold, appeared softened with a hint of tenderness.He said he wanted her love, her heart. Could she give it to him? Her delicate hand gently caressed his face, and a different sensation spread across her left chest. When her soft hand brushed against his face, an electric current surged through her.The man before her suddenly opened his eyes, his large hand holding onto her small hand. "It's so late, and you still can't sleep. Did I not tire you out enough?" He casually spoke, his gaze fixed on Lizzie.In the dim moonlight, Bruno saw the radiance on her fair face, and in that instant, his heart skipped a beat. But it was only fo

Upon returning to their apartment, Bruno and Adeline find themselves in the warmth of the kitchen, where Adeline is cooking a sumptuous steak dinner paired with red wine.Sat at the elongated dining table, under the shimmer of the chandelier, they sat facings each other. "Bruno, how's the taste?" Adeline asked while watching him take a bite of the steak."Mmm, juicy and tender; you still have a knack for frying steaks," Bruno chuckled, reaching for his wineglass to take a sip."I was worried it would not turn out well. I haven't cooked in quite a while." Adeline was confident, though. She had taken culinary classes to impress Bruno, mastering how to fry steak to the level of a five-star restaurant chef."Bruno, if you like it, I'd be more than happy to cook for you more often," she offered, ready to take on the kitchen duty every day if it made him happy.Bruno set down his wine glass and shook his head. "You don't have to go through that trouble. If we feel like it, we can always din

Lizzie struggled, but her wrist was still held tightly in his large grip, unable to break free. "Let go, you're hurting me," she said to Bruno, who was moving briskly ahead.Bruno finally halted, turning his head to look at her. Lizzie, however, shifted her gaze towards the entrance of the hall, where Jacob and Louise stood by the door."Do you want to go back?" Bruno asked, his gaze fixed on her.Lizzie looked at Bruno, "I want to say something to them." They had done so much to make her birthday special, the least she could do was thank them."Go ahead," Bruno released his grip on her wrist.Lizzie walked up to Jacob and Louise, "Thank you both," she said.Louise handed her a beautifully wrapped box, "Happy birthday."Jacob remained silent, only looking at her.Lizzie took the box, "Thank you. I should go now."Jacob looked disappointed as he watched Lizzie walk towards Bruno.Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Ruoya stepped out. Seeing Jacob here was no surprise, but Bruno's

Ruoya's grip on the steering wheel tightened as she listened to Jacob's drunken mumbling. Her resentment deepened, stinging like a thorn in her heart. What was so special about Lizzie? Even in the Jiang family, she was not cherished by her parents. Then how dare she have Bruno and monopolize Jacob too?Ruoya glanced at the unconscious Jacob. A bitter smile played on her lips. She had given up everything back home to follow him, taking care of him for a year, yet he didn't appreciate it."Lizzie... Lizzie..." Jacob murmured, leaning on Ruoya unsteadily as they entered the apartment.Ruoya looked at the man before her, his hand tightly clasping hers, not Lizzie's. Yet his voice rang with Lizzie's name, making Ruoya's heart clench painfully."Jacob, I love you so much. Can't you give me any response at all? Just a little bit, isn't that okay?" Ruoya's hand brushed his face. She had fallen hopelessly in love with him, even knowing that he was Lizzie's boyfriend. She had stood by his side,

Flora glanced at her, "Lizzie, Emily will be back tonight. Even though you two have never met, you are her sister-in-law after all. You must take good care of her, understand?""Yes, Mom, I understand." The return of the unseen Emily stirred an inexplicable unease in Lizzie's heart.The absent Emily, who was she really? Lizzie had no clue."For dinner tonight, why don't you help Chaperone with the preparations? It'll be a nice gesture." Flora could hardly stand the sight of her reaping Yelun's affection without lifting a finger."Alright." Lizzie felt it was only right, considering they were family, despite not having met before."No need," Yelun interjected, "The servants can do the kitchen work. It's rare for Lizzie to visit. Why not sit and chat instead?"Flora's insistence was a reflection of her inner discontent towards Lizzie.Unfazed, Lizzie assured, "It's okay, Dad. Precisely because I don't visit often, I should help out."With Lizzie's agreement, Yelun didn't press further.
