"I take pleasure in your honesty. Though your feigned strength was endearing, I much prefer your truth," Bruno confessed, leaning in to plant a tender kiss on her forehead."Let's go home." Bruno reached for the coat nearby, helping Lizzie slip it on. He draped his own overcoat over her shoulders, and together they vacated the secluded villa.With Bruno behind the wheel, driving smoothly, Lizzie sat in the passenger seat. Adorned in his overcoat, a warm sense of comfort seeped into her heart.Bruno ungloved one hand to hold Lizzie's, keeping her delicate hand firmly within his grasp. Lizzie made no attempt to wriggle free, content in his hold as the soft music from the radio filled the silence. Neither of them spoke, yet the atmosphere remained harmonious.Only when they pulled into the underground garage of their apartment did Bruno let go of her hand. They stood shoulder to shoulder by the elevator, Bruno's arm encircling her tightly, never once leaving her side."Take a seat, I'll
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 162: Can His Heart Make Room for Another Woman?
Jacob sat alone in his apartment, looking at the photos in front of him. They were all images of Lizzie surrounding him. How could he forget her? How could he marry Ruoya?He picked up the bottle of Chivas in front of him and brought it to his lips, drinking straight from the bottle. He wanted to get drunk, to forget everything. Only when he was drunk could he see Lizzie's enchanting smile in his dreams, the smile that always made his heart skip a beat.As for Ruoya, he could only apologize. At least for now, he wasn't ready to accept her.Suddenly, the doorbell rang, but Jacob pretended not to hear it and continued drinking. The doorbell continued to ring incessantly. He stumbled over to the door, and when he opened it, Song Meiqiong forcefully pushed her way in, immediately hit by a strong smell of alcohol."Mom, what brings you here?" Jacob leaned against the wall, steadying himself, as he watched Song Meiqiong enter the living room."Jacob, what are you trying to do, drinking so m
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 163: The Feeling Called Missed Connection
Upon hearing Bruno's words, Lizzie thought she had misheard, "Why would I look for you?"“Mhm.” Bruno slightly nodded, neither confirming nor denying."You must be kidding, I'm not a child. Why would I look for you?" Lizzie was taken aback by Bruno's words, yet she forced a smile.If she opened her eyes and didn't see him, would she look for him? That's impossible. She never wanted to see him, not even once.She fiercely discarded the strange feeling in her heart, the feeling called longing, the feeling called anticipation.Bruno watched her, she was clearly smiling, yet why were her eyes full of sorrow?"What are you running away from?" Bruno never let go of what he wanted easily, even if she wanted to escape, he would firmly hold on.Lizzie didn't know why looking into his eyes would make her heart chaotic, make her at a loss."No, I'm not." Lizzie shook her head, she couldn't run now, even if she wanted to."I hope you're telling the truth," Bruno's hand moved up her flat stomach,

Bruno held her tightly, "You should go home early today, I have things to do tonight.""Okay." Lizzie nodded, understanding that he didn't need to tell her everything, aware that he was very busy. Although there was nothing she could do to help, she didn't want her presence to disrupt his work.Before the end of the workday, Bruno had his driver take her back to her apartment. Lizzie had a small meal, her appetite wasn't great. She made herself a bowl of noodles, but only ate a few bites and settled in to watch TV. Bob, her dog, was sitting next to her, more engrossed in the TV than she was.Bruno and Adeline sat in a French restaurant that evening. The dim yellow light and soothing music made the atmosphere elegant and romantic."Bruno, I ordered a couple's set meal, hope you don't mind?" Adeline had already ordered when they were seated."Of course I don't mind, as long as you like it." Bruno was not particularly fond of Western food. As he looked at the premium steak set meal in fr

The hotel banquet hall, Bruno in a black suit, with Jepan trailing him, still dressed casually."Boss, did you come in person because you wanted to confirm something?" Jepan asked."Isn't Charles coming too?" Bruno looked at Jepan, his smile inscrutable.Jepan nodded, "Boss, I bet you don't know someone else is coming.""Who?" As Bruno's words fell, a familiar voice came from behind."Bruno." Adeline, dressed in a graceful purple, approached from behind.Bruno's face fell as he watched Adeline approach him."Boss, I guess I'll go in first." Jepan wisely withdrew, regretting he hadn’t warned Bruno earlier.Seeing the gloom on Bruno's face, Jepan figured it was best to make himself scarce.Bruno was about to move forward when Adeline grabbed his arm, "Bruno, we're not strangers, are we?""How did you get here?" Bruno halted, addressing her."Bruno, I knew you were coming. You don't want to see me, but I had no choice but to come here." Adeline clasped his arm.Bruno pushed her hand away

"Bruno, Bruno," Adeline watched as the elevator doors closed, was he really so heartless? Just to go back to Lizzie, he could abandon her so easily.Jepan stood beside her, watching Adeline's pale face, "Adeline, should we go? Do you need me to carry you?" he teased, grinning wickedly.Adeline was about to respond when Jepan interrupted her, "I might have thought about it, but I don't have the guts. I don't want to be misunderstood by Louise.""YOU!" Adeline glared at Jepan, who had never shown any kindness towards her. Especially now, when even Bruno had abandoned her, he became even more ruthless."No need, I can walk on my own." Adeline hobbled slightly as she entered the elevator, Jepan followed with a leisurely laugh.Bruno drove back to the villa at top speed. The villa was still brightly lit, were they not sleeping yet?In the living room, Lizzie held their son, both sitting there. Lizzie had a finance magazine in her hand, and their son was playing video games in front of the

Bruno rose from his seat and walked over to her. "How did you get here? Did you drive yourself?" he asked. "Yes," Lizzie nodded. "Don't worry, I drove carefully." She was aware that her driving skills were not the best, so she seldom drove on her own. "Next time, let me know if you want to go out. I'll come pick you up," Bruno said, gripping her hand tightly. Lizzie nestled into his arms with a smile. "Understood. You must be hungry. Let's eat before the food gets cold. I made this meal myself." She led him to the couch, opened the lunchbox she had brought, and prepared to serve the food. "Nothing beats having a wife who knows how to take care of me and cook such delicious meals," Bruno said, wrapping one arm around her while picking up the chopsticks with the other hand. He reached out to feed her a bite. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Try this." "I had a late breakfast. I'm not hungry yet." Despite her words, Lizzie accepted the piece of braised pork he held out to h
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 168 Lizzie is being hunted
Just as Lizzie had risen and was attempting to guide Yelun back to the villa, two men suddenly appeared beside her. They forcefully shoved Yelun's wheelchair away from her grasp. "You guys..." Lizzie advanced to grab the wheelchair, but was held back by one man gripping her arm, preventing her from moving forward.Helplessly, Lizzie watched as Yelun's wheelchair rolled a considerable distance before tipping over, taking him with it.She tried to scream for help, only to realize the park was eerily devoid of people."Who are you and what do you want? Let me go!" Lizzie struggled in vain against their firm grip."Dad!" She yelled, but was swiftly restrained by the two men and forced into a vehicle.With the engine roaring to life, Lizzie watched as the park faded into the distance. She frantically pounded on the car window shouting, "Let me out, let me out!"The car sped further away, and Lizzie swivelled around to look at her captors. She reached for her mobile phone, only to realize i
