All Chapters of Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Pretending to ignore Aryan, Laura kept herself busy setting the dishes on the table. Aryan, on the other hand, continued to observe Laura's every move, growing increasingly restless."Do you have nothing better to do than watch me like that? Go take a shower! Afterward, we can eat. I'm starving because you didn't invite me to eat earlier. You're so heartless!" Laura protested, glancing briefly at Aryan before grabbing the juice she had prepared and adding some ice cubes."Still half-past five; let's eat first. I'm hungry too. Besides, I can't wait to devour my beloved wife's cooking," Aryan replied playfully, winking at Laura. Laura didn't respond to Aryan's remark. She fetched two plates, one for Aryan and one for herself, and served rice on Aryan's plate, just as she always did."Thanks, dear," Aryan said as Laura handed him the plate of rice. Aryan was eager to dig into Laura's cooking. He admitted that Laura's cooking was just as delicious as his mother Lian

Noval pulled his car over to the side of the road, took a deep breath, and expressed his desire. He didn't like being ignored like this."Why aren't you answering? It must be your husband who called, right?" Noval said, looking at Laura, who was only staring at the name displayed on her phone screen."Laura, give me one more chance. I promise to make everything right, and I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes," Noval continued, his gaze fixed on Laura, who still seemed indifferent."Laura?" Noval called out and was about to touch Laura's hand, which she pulled away instantly."I've already told you before, I'm married. Please don't bother me again," Laura replied, irritated. Although there were lingering feelings for Noval in her heart, she would not betray her marriage to Aryan for any reason. Even though their marriage might only last for eight months, Laura wouldn't rekindle her relationship with Noval. She wouldn't repeat the past.Nov

"What if we just cancel that agreement?" Aryan proposed after Laura released her breathless kiss.Laura averted her gaze to the side to hide the blush on her cheeks. She felt utterly out of control, regretting her impulsive actions and feeling embarrassed. Her heart was still racing, and she struggled to calm it down.Aryan fell silent as Laura ignored him. He was unsure of what to say next. Laura's kiss had momentarily rendered him speechless. While saying "I love you" wasn't an option for Aryan, as he wasn't entirely sure of his feelings for Laura, he still needed time and a way to figure it out.Aryan's smile suddenly brightened as he remembered the dinner invitation with Vika. Maybe this was his chance to test his feelings."Laura, will you join me for dinner with Vika tonight?" Aryan invited, glancing at Laura, who was still gazing out of the window."What? Do you want me to be a mosquito repellent or something?" Laura protested indignantly.

The apartment door creaked open, and Aryan entered, slipping off his shoes and placing them on the shoe rack behind the door. He slowly made his way inside, hearing the sound of the television still on. He glanced at his wristwatch, which showed 11:30 PM. Aryan stood there for a while, watching Laura engrossed in her favorite Korean drama while cradling a jar of snacks. A smile spread across Aryan's face as he saw Laura was fine during his absence. It turned out that this woman could make him miss her terribly. It wasn't just her smile or her cooking, but also her chattering that he missed."You're not asleep yet?" Aryan asked gently, which immediately made Laura turn in surprise. Aryan approached and sat cross-legged on the floor, facing Laura, who was on the sofa. He took the jar from Laura's lap and placed it on the table. Laura froze, looking at Aryan, unable to believe that the man before her was the same person she had missed so much that she couldn't close her eyes for

Aryan stood by the glass window, lost in thought as he watched the bustling and noisy city that had just awakened from its nighttime slumber. Andra entered Aryan's office, and her presence broke the silence that had enveloped Aryan for the past ten minutes."You handle Laura; I'll take care of the campus issue, Aryan," Andra said, interrupting his contemplation.Andra knew that this was not a trivial matter, as it involved someone's character and attitude, especially since Laura was a scholarship student and a model student at the university.Earlier, Aryan had dropped Laura off at Andra's house before heading to the office. He couldn't bear to leave Laura alone in her apartment, especially since the incident at the campus had left her mostly silent and tearful. Aryan even had to coax her to eat."The photos have already spread to some lecturers; let's hope they don't reach the university council," Andra continued, pondering possible solutions. Even at th
