Semua Bab There's No Turning Back: Bab 261 - Bab 270

Harvey's pupils widened sharply. Was Theodore really saying what he thought he was saying?He fought the instinct to glance down at the phone—to check if Theodore was actually as pink as he claimed…His gaze burned with fury as he glared at Theodore, only to catch the man casually flicking a glance toward his chest. Harvey's face immediately turned as dark as charcoal.Theodore smirked. It was the kind of self-satisfied grin that made it seem like he had just won some kind of twisted competition.Harvey felt a lump in his throat. He refused to lose in this kind of face-off!Clearing his throat, he scoffed and fired back, "Pigmentation. Fabric friction. It's normal for the color to darken."The fact that yours is still that pink is unnatural!"The moment the words left his mouth, every single blood vessel in his brain threatened to burst.He had fallen straight into Theodore's trap. The bastard was leading him on—baiting him into this absurd argument.Harvey clenched his jaw, l

Harvey felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow.He knew he shouldn't have fallen into Theodore's trap, but the moment Elara spoke up for him, it was as if someone had driven an awl straight into his chest.The pain exploded inside him, and the blood that seemed to splatter from the wound stained his vision red.Theodore glanced at Elara, his lips curving upward in silent triumph. Elara knew very well he was deliberately provoking Harvey, but it felt incredible being the one she sided with.Theodore turned back to Harvey, his gaze openly taunting. He reached out and protectively placed a hand on Elara. "I'm worried he's going to throw the soap at you."Harvey felt the blood rush to his throat. He had never been outmaneuvered like this, not even in the cutthroat business world. And now, with no security cameras to prove his innocence here in a men's restroom, he had no way to defend himself in front of Elara.Elara's voice was steady as she said, "Harvey, I know your temper.

Merida dashed to Elara's other side, raising her leg in the air, ready to unleash a spinning kick."Lara…"A familiar voice rang out, making Merida abruptly halt her attack."Grandma? What are you doing here?" she asked in confusion.Elara's stunned gaze swept over Daphne.It was the dead of winter, yet Daphne was wearing nothing but a thin, white silk dress. She had no shoes on, and her fair bare feet were now flushed red from the cold.Elara couldn't fathom why Daphne had put herself in such a state."Mom, where are your shoes?"Daphne's cheeks were flushed, her hair was disheveled, and tears welled up in her eyes. She clenched her fists while sobbing and rubbing at her tears."I heard that Priscilla was back, so I called Abel. But he didn't answer! So, I went to the airport to find him, and I saw him with Priscilla… Waah! My heart hurts so much!"Daphne had always been pampered and cherished by Abel to the point that even Elara once thought they were a loving couple.Thin

Elara's eyes grew misty. She took a deep breath, gripped Merida's hand tightly, and resolutely walked forward.Beau cried out anxiously, "Mommy! Even if you and Daddy are divorced, I can still stay with you! Mommy, why don't you want me?"Elara's steps faltered. It was as if invisible wires were wrapped around her ankles, cutting deep into her flesh.She took several deep breaths, but each one felt like it was tearing through her lungs. The air passing through her throat wasn't smooth—it was like being forced through a narrow path lined with thorns."Beau, have you forgotten? It was you who didn't want me."The small boy trembled. Everything he had done to Elara flooded his mind, and his vision blurred in an instant."The food you make is worse than pig slop!""You won't let me eat this! You won't let me eat that! You're just a control freak!""You're a bad mom! You're such an annoying and pretentious mom!""You don't even do anything all day. You just stay at home doing nothi

Mary's heart pounded in fear. "Mr. Beau!""Mommy!" Beau used both hands to desperately try to crawl toward Elara."Mommy, just look at me!"Tears poured down his face, and his cheeks were flushed red. Ignoring the pain wracking his body, he used every bit of his strength to drag himself forward.A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, and Mary hurriedly scooped him up into her arms.Meanwhile, Elara and Merida were waiting in front of the elevator. Mary simply carried Beau and ran toward them.When the elevator doors slid open, Elara and Merida stepped inside."Mommy!"Beau's cry was gut-wrenching. He stretched out his arms, but all he could do was watch as the elevator doors closed before him.He slapped his hands against the metal doors, and his wails echoed through the hallway."Mommy! I promise I'll never make you angry again! Please come back! I'm begging you, come back!"The elevator ascended.Elara lifted her head, and the overhead lights cast reflections in her
