Chapter 441

Justin slid further into the car, patting the seat beside him with a cheeky grin. Haley was seething with anger, rolling her eyes.Behind them, a car horn blared impatiently. “Hey! Is this parking lot yours? Are you moving or not? If not, let us through!” “Sorry! Really sorry, just arguing with my wife! We’re leaving now!” Justin rolled down the rear window and apologized. He then turned back to Haley with a tilted head, signaling her to get in. “Enough already! If you two are going to fight, do it in the car and stop blocking the way!” someone shouted from behind. Haley clenched her teeth, pointing a finger at Justin. “Shut your mouth, and stop spewing nonsense!” With a loud slam, she shut the rear door and reluctantly walked to the front passenger seat, opening the door and sitting inside. William, already tense, became even more alert. He shifted closer to the door on his side, as if bracing for impact. He was well aware that his boss didn’t take rejection lightly

Justin rarely watched movies, and even when he wanted to, his private theater at home was always an option. This was his first time sitting shoulder to shoulder with strangers in a public cinema. Haley glanced at him briefly but said nothing. Unbothered by her silence, Justin inserted the straw into the milk tea and handed it to her, along with the popcorn. After their earlier back-and-forth, Haley was indeed thirsty. She took the milk tea, sipped it, and decided there was no point in overthinking it. The movie began—a horror film with a romantic subplot. Justin had carefully researched online beforehand, learning that taking the girl you love to a scary movie might make her cling to you out of fear. The newly released *Phantom Bride* seemed like the perfect choice. The air conditioning in the packed theater was cranked up high. Before long, Haley felt a chill and crossed her arms, holding herself tightly. Justin wasn’t entirely focused on the movie. He kept stealing

As the movie ended, Justin and Haley followed the crowd out of the theater.“The movie’s over. Give me back my phone,” Haley said, extending her hand, palm up.Justin looked down at her soft, pale hand and, instead of returning the phone, clasped her hand tightly in his. “The exhibit runs for three days. After that, you’ll leave, right? Let’s go buy something for your daughter—a gift from me.”He didn’t want to let her go, not just yet.Haley pulled her hand back and tucked it behind her. “She doesn’t need anything. There’s no need to buy anything.”The sudden emptiness in his hand stung. He didn’t know whether it was her rejection or her avoidance of his touch—or perhaps both—that left him feeling hollow. His hand clenched into a fist at his side.“It’s just a small gesture. Please don’t turn it down,” he said, his voice low and somber.Before Haley could respond, his phone rang. “Whatever it is, reschedule it for tomorrow,” Justin barked into the phone.The voice on the other

Haley swatted his hand away and snatched her phone back. “If you want a happy and fulfilling life, go build it with Emma. We’re not compatible,” she said coldly, turning to leave. Justin quickly stepped in front of her, blocking her path. His tone was urgent as he explained, “It’s not like that with Emma! I only feel gratitude toward her—there’s no love!” “No love, but you still slept with her?” Haley’s gaze dropped to the hand barring her way. Her voice was icy. “Move your hand. You disgust me.” The air between them froze, heavy with tension. Justin’s hand, still raised in front of her, trembled slightly as uncertainty and panic filled his face. After a long silence, his voice came out hoarse and low. “I didn’t mean for it to happen. I drank too much that night, and when I woke up… she was in the hotel bed. It wasn’t intentional, Haley. Please believe me!” Mentioning that day brought a wave of pain that Justin hated to revisit. It had struck his life like a thunde

Chapter 445

Why, out of all the people in the world, did Justin insist on clinging to her sister? Emma was already back. Why didn’t he go after her instead? “Justin is in love with your sister. Don’t you see that?” Zac said, exasperated. He wanted to crack open Helen’s head to see what was inside—besides her sister and her obsession with vanity. Was there even a tiny corner reserved for him? “It’s not just some shallow infatuation a man might feel for a woman. He loves her deeply! Over the past five years, that love has become part of him, ingrained in his very being, so much so that he can’t escape it.” Seeing that Helen had gone quiet, Zac pressed on. “If Haley doesn’t love him anymore, then it’s all meaningless. But if there’s even a shred of love left between them, why not let them have a chance to reconnect?” Helen stared blankly at the road ahead, her eyes unfocused, as if lost in thought. It was unclear whether Zac’s words had reached her. Suddenly, something seemed to cli

“I’ve told you before—if you turn over a new leaf, I can help you find a decent job. Stop sinking so low! Do you really think being a mistress to a married man is something to be proud of? Have you ever thought about your family? Do you know how much shame you’ve brought them by being a kept woman?” Peyton stood on his self-righteous pedestal, preaching at her as if he had the moral high ground. “Peyton, didn’t that slap from last time teach you anything?” Helen raised her hand, her voice laced with fury. “You want another one?” Seeing her hand lift, Peyton instinctively flinched, stepping back. He glanced nervously around, noticing the attention their argument was drawing. But instead of shrinking, the audience seemed to embolden him, like an imaginary army of onlookers backing his sense of justice. Pointing a finger at Zac, Peyton sneered, “Don’t think I’m afraid of you just because your family has money. Does being rich give you the right to bully people? Go ahead, hit m

“Believe it or not, but buy your ice cream and get lost!” Helen snapped, pointing at Peyton. Then, turning to Zac, who was paying at the counter, and the cashier, she added, “The treat doesn’t include him. He pays for himself!” “Got it,” the cashier replied cheerfully. As a fellow woman, she naturally sided with Helen. Once Zac finished paying, their ice cream was ready. Not wanting to stay and attract more attention, they decided to take everything to go and eat in the car instead. By the time they turned around, Peyton had already slinked away, humiliated by the murmurs of the other customers. In the car, Zac barely ate a bite before he started whining dramatically. “Wifey, I’m so upset! We’re officially married, and people still don’t believe I’m your husband.” He waved his left hand in front of her face, showing off his bare ring finger. “I don’t even have a wedding ring yet, let alone a ceremony! And we’re still sleeping in separate beds. Who does that? What newly

Haley sighed deeply. “Take it all back. I don’t want any of it.”She took a few steps back, turning to head toward the front door of her house. Justin, seeing this, didn’t dare stop her as forcefully as he had earlier that afternoon. Instead, he exchanged a quick glance with William, and the two hurriedly carried all the bags to her doorstep, setting them down before retreating just as quickly. It was almost comical—the way they dashed back to the car, as if being chased. Without so much as a goodbye, the car roared off like a rocket, leaving Haley standing in the night breeze, completely dumbfounded. She stared at the pile of bags in front of her, stunned, unable to react in time to stop them. From the window, Richard caught a glimpse of his sister’s shadow outside. Curious as to why she hadn’t come in yet, he opened the door. “Whoa! What’s all this?”Haley let out a tired sigh. “Just bring it inside.”Once inside, Richard and Alex eagerly began rummaging through the ba

Caught red-handed, even Helen, as bold as she was, stumbled over her words. “What… what does it have to do with you? And why are you even up this early? Shouldn’t you be asleep?” she deflected, attempting to change the subject. Richard raised the glass of water in his hand. “What, I can’t come downstairs for a drink?” He took a sip before adding smugly, “And for the record, I’m not waking up. I haven’t gone to bed yet.” Proud of his night owl status, he bit into a waffle. “Don’t bother calling me for breakfast. I’ll be asleep.” “Good! Sleep forever for all I care,” Helen muttered under her breath. Back in her room, she changed into pajamas and flopped onto her bed. “Ah, so tired!” she groaned. Just as she was drifting off, she heard noises in the hallway. Stifling a yawn, she dragged herself out of bed. Half-finished naps were worse than early mornings. Downstairs, Haley was enjoying her breakfast. Chase and Alex were still asleep. Helen strolled over and greete

Haley raised an eyebrow and replied coolly, “Do I look like someone who would go back to an ex?” Helen grinned mischievously. “Alright, fine. But… what about other men? You’re in your prime right now. Isn’t it a shame not to date?” Lately, Helen had been basking in the blissful glow of her own romance. Naturally, she wanted her sister to experience the same happiness. But dating hadn’t even crossed Haley’s mind. With two kids and a thriving career, she felt her life was already full. “Forget it. I’m not planning on finding a ‘dad’ for the boys,” she said firmly. Helen rolled her eyes. “Who says dating has to lead to marriage? You could just date for fun!” She had seen plenty of examples like that. Haley shot her a sharp glare, and Helen immediately clammed up. “I’m heading to the exhibit,” Haley said as she finished her coffee and stood up. “Make sure you sort out that pile of stuff in the storage room while I’m gone.” “Got it,” Helen mumbled. Haley paused at
