Chapter 14
I cried out in alarm, my body uncontrollably lurching forward-
“Oh no!”
Adam reacted quickly, pulling me into his arms.
After the violent jolt and turbulence, I found myself sitting on his lap, instinctively wrapping my arms around his neck–a rather intimate position
Realizing this, my cheeks flushed red. I squirmed a few times trying to get up, h
up, but humped my head and fell back into Adam’s embrace
In that instant, my face became even redder.]]
As I sat there flustered, someone outside began pounding forcefully on the car window.
I quickly sat back properly and rolled down the window to see who was outside
The man outside was in tattered clothes, disheveled and dirty, his skin sunburned beyond recognition [
“Aria. it’s me! Get out of the car, I need to talk to you!”
Seeing that I didn’t recognize him, Ronan quickly pushed aside the hair covering his forehead and wiped his face vigorously.]
“I’m Ronan, your husband His voice was hoarse and dry, filled with urgent longing. “I’m not dead, I’m still alive
I studied him expressionlessly.
“Aria, I missed you so much. Get out and take me home, please? Ronan pressed his hands against the car window, his eyes bloodshot as he once again declared his identity
After a long moment, I slowly spoke through the gap in the window, my tone distant: “Sorry, I don’t know you. My former husband is already dead.”
“Arla, how can you not recognize me? You used to love me so much, you even humored your rival for my sake…“]
Meeting my increasingly cold gaze, Ronan’s words caught in his throat.]
I looked away, rolled up the window, and instructed the driver to continue forward.
Ronan clung to the window gap, soon getting his fingers caught. He cried out in pain and pleaded, “Aria, it hurts. Please look at mer“]]
I remained unmoved, letting Ronan endure the pain until h
The finally let go.
Watching the car drive away, he chased after it, shouting my name.]]
“Aria, I came back from the brink of death! You can’t abandon me!”
It turned out that after being injured by Wendy that day, he was rescued by hotel cleaning staff. He sold his suit and watch, paid the medical bills, and used the remaining money to smuggle himself back to the country
The first thing Ronati did upon returning was to find me
He thought I would be grieving as his widow, thought I would weep with joy upon seeing him.]
He planned to sincerely apologize to me, and once I forgave him, he would live properly with me. From then on, he would never have another she–wolf]
But as soon as he returned, he heard-
I had married Adam Lanchester
He couldn’t believe it. I loved him desperately–how could I marry someone else while his body was barely cold?]
“Aria, you can’t treat me like this! I’m the person you love most!” Ronan refused to give up, chasing my car all the way to the Lanchester Pack villa
He charged forward despite the Gamma bodyguards obstruction, being knocked down repeatedly but getting up each time to continue forward.
“Let me in, I want to find my wife! Adam Lanchester, what are you? How dare you marry my wife!”
“Aria, honey, come out!
Ronan was thrown outside the gates again, lying on the roadside unable to move
I came out, standing on the villa’s elegant steps, looking down at him coldly
