"You appear to be quite adept in the kitchen," I casually remarked as we began to arrange the food on the plates."Indeed. Cooking is one of my hobbies," he replied. "I have a genuine appreciation for good food, which often motivates me to cook.""I find that quite appealing," I responded with a smile."I'm delighted to hear that," he said, accompanied by a playful wink.My heart fluttered, but I quickly reminded myself that this man does not belong to me. We found ourselves seated at the kitchen table, sharing a meal in comfortable silence, relishing the delightful dishes we both contributed to."These sausages are absolutely fantastic," Noah exclaimed as he took a bite."Really? Is it because you cooked them yourself?" I playfully teased."Yes, indeed. It's the 'Noah's Touch' that makes all the difference," he responded with a grin."Noah's Touch,' huh?" I chuckled and took a forkful of scrambled eggs into my mouth. While savoring the taste, unexpectedly, Noah leaned forward and gen

Despite Grace's persistent pleas, I refrained from filing charges against Jasper and his family. Instead, we reached an agreement that required them to sign legal documents, affirming their commitment to maintaining distance from me and the girls. Additionally, they agreed to comply with the existing restraining order, which had been issued prior to the audacious abduction incident.Although Grace remained unimpressed by the level of cooperation displayed by my former in-laws, I found solace in the fact that I and my children, are finally shielded from their persistent problems. I am relieved that I won't bear the responsibility of causing further suffering to an entire family.Upon the recommendation of the school counselor, Anna and Bella will commence therapy sessions starting next weekend. In the meantime, the school has advised them to take the remainder of this week off to unwind, allowing them to return to school the following week, refreshed and ready for their initial therapy

Days have passed since I made the call to Noah, but his only response was a brief text message: "Sorry, I missed your call. Will get in touch with you soon." It has been radio silence ever since.On a Saturday afternoon, I accompanied the girls to their initial therapy session, as recommended. Once their sessions conclude, I seize the opportunity to have a conversation with the therapist. He assured me that my daughters don't exhibit any signs of emotional trauma. However, he suggests continuing the sessions for a few more weeks primarily for observation purposes. Leaving the therapist's office, my thoughts drifted to Noah, and I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of longing for him.Curious, I pondered to myself, wondering why I'm missing someone I barely know. What is it about him that elicits this longing within me?Reading my mind, Anna interrupted my thoughts and asked, "Where is Mr.Noah?"Carefully choosing my words, I inquired, "Why do you ask, dear?"Ever since that day we

The remaining part of the afternoon was devoted to engaging in a game of Monopoly alongside my daughters. Once we departed from Jane's place, we made a stop at a Chicke store, where we indulged in a delectable assortment of crispy drumsticks, French fries, and sodas. Despite my earnest attempts to immerse myself in the game and entertain my girls, my thoughts incessantly veer towards Noah, compelling me to repeatedly glance at my phone in anticipation of a call or text message. Why hasn't he returned my call?Is he incredibly occupied to the extent that he cannot spare a mere minute or two to reach out and inquire about my well-being and the well-being of my daughters? I am aware that he leads a highly demanding life, but it seems implausible that anyone could be so occupied as to be incapable of sparing even 30 seconds to send a text message, at the very least. Is he deliberately avoiding me? What could be the reason behind his avoidance? And why am I so deeply affected by his silen

Despite my disappointment when Noah's phone call goes directly to voicemail, I remained determined not to surrender. I left a heartfelt message, expressing my concern for his well-being and kindly requesting that he reach out to me upon receiving my message to confirm that he is alright.Leaving the voice mail message didn't provide the satisfaction I sought. There is an undeniable yearning within me to see Noah, and I couldn't deny that I am strongly drawn to him. Perhaps it was the courageous role he played in rescuing my children from captivity that awakened this attraction, or maybe it has always existed within me but remained suppressed. Regardless, I found myself genuinely interested in pursuing a relationship with him, should he still hold an interest in me.All the reservations I once had about dating Noah have vanished, especially after the enlightening phone conversation I had with my mother. Moreover, Grace was absolutely right in saying that I don't owe anyone an apology

I was interrupted from my pensive state by a gentle knock on the door. "Yes?" I inquired, shifting my attention.Joe pops his head through the slightly ajar door, sporting a broad smile. "Hey, boss. Finished with your phone call?""Fortunately, yes," I replied, mirroring his grin. "Are we ready to proceed with inventory for restocking?""Well, actually," he says mischievously, his smile widening. "There's someone here to see you.""Who?" I asked, perplexed by his enigmatic behavior.In response, he merely flashed a teasing grin and playfully wiggles his impeccably groomed eyebrows.I narrowed my eyes, trying to decipher Joe's game.Who could this visitor be, and why is Joe so eagerly anticipating their arrival?A sudden realization sparked in my mind, causing my heart to race with anticipation. Could it really be the person I'm hoping for?"Who's here to see me?" I inquired, almost breathless, turning to Joe for confirmation."Why don't you come and find out for yourself?" he responde
The Pretend Wife Chapter 149
Before leaving the shopping complex garage where my store is located, I made a considerate call to Mrs. P, informing her that I may arrive home later than usual tonight. It's important to me to give her a heads-up and ask her to hold down the fort until my return, although she doesn't mind. I believe it's a matter of common courtesy to let her know if our regular routine will be disrupted for any reason.As I embarked on my journey, I was filled with enthusiasm despite feeling uncertain about what to say to Noah when we meet. Or if we meet, my mind corrected me. I could only imagine how frustrating it must be for him, attempting to understand my intentions and continually falling short. One moment I'm gazing at him affectionately, and the next I'm pushing him away, behaving as if he's a predator ready to consume me. If I were in his position, I would be quite annoyed, so I can only speculate about how he must be feeling now.A man who possesses immense wealth and has the luxury of cho

As I cautiously approached Noah , he raised his glass to his lips, maintaining an unwavering gaze on me. His piercing eyes fixate on me, akin to a lion assessing the strategies of its prey, contemplating the optimal way to pounce and consume the vulnerable wanderer. As I drew nearer to his spot, he nonchalantly placed the glass on a nearby low stool, uncrossed his lengthy legs, and patiently awaited my next move.With a deliberate action, I raised the hem of my skirt above my knees, allowing ample space to straddle his thighs. Carefully, I descended onto his lap, positioning my hands firmly upon his chest, relishing the solidity of his expansive torso. The muscles beneath my palms were tense, reminiscent of tightly stretched guitar strings that threaten to snap under any additional pressure. Traversing my hands along his chest and shoulders, I maintained a fixed gaze upon his own eyes, attuned to the precise moment when their luminous curiosity transformed into a smoldering hunger.
