Chapter 127 – An Emotional Oblivious Glenn
******Meanwhile, Glenn, having no idea about the dilemma going through Irene’s mind, finally smiled slightly after seeing her nod.“I’ve got a few things to handle in the city,” he said, casually slipping his hands into his pockets, his tone relaxed, as if they weren’t standing in the center of a slow-motion tragedy. “I’ll call to check up on you later.”He turned and walked toward the door like a man who had never known a single worry in his life.But then—“Glenn…”His name suddenly slipped out of Irene’s lips before she could stop it, and it startled both of them.Glenn paused mid-step, his hand hovering near the doorknob.Then slowly, he turned, surprise flickering in his eyes, not at being called, but at how unexpectedly beautiful his name had sounded from Irene’s mouth, like music and something sacred.He didn’t mention it, though. Instead, he simply met Irene’s eyes and asked softly, “Yes?”Irene hesitated for a second, then her lips parted, but no sound came.Ultim
Chapter 126 – An Emotional Irene
******Honestly, the sheer confidence in Glenn’s voice… so calm and so matter-of-fact made it hard for Irene to tell whether he was being delusional or just stating reality.It was arrogant, yes, outrageously so. But there was something maddeningly convincing about the way he said it, as if he wasn’t trying to boast… just laying down facts.Eventually, she chuckled bitterly. ‘How could anyone in this world be able to solve everything, when they are not god,’ she thought, scolding herself for nearly believing Glenn.With this, she sighed.“Don’t worry,” she said again, this time with a small, defeated smile. “I can handle it.”Glenn didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he simply watched her.He could tell that whatever Irene was facing was tearing her apart from the inside.He had seen it earlier, when he woke up, which was why he had intentionally made the remark he made. That time, her eyes had been hollow, and her expression had been haunted., making him realize that whatever
Chapter 125 – Irene’s Silent Predicament II
******Irene paused for a second after hearing Glenn’s calm voice.At first, she simply stared at him, like a bird suddenly caught in the open, unsure whether to fly or fall. Then her mouth opened slightly and she froze.After a second, her breath hitched, and just like that, the illusion she had engrossed herself within, shattered.The fleeting comfort, warmth, and sense of safety she had felt... along with the brief escape from her dire reality, unraveled, like a thread pulled from a fraying hem.In the very next second, everything she had fought to forget the night before came crashing back... everything she had tried to drown in alcohol, erase in reckless hours with Glenn, and escape in fleeting sleep.The unwanted wedding, the lifelong bondage that awaited her, the predator in wolf’s clothing ready to break her, and the suffocating cage of an unending nightmare closing in around her, came rushing back at her.In that instant, her eyes burned red, as if a switch had been fl
Chapter 124 – I Like Both of Them
******Meanwhile, back on the bed… Glenn blinked once, then twice.And then he lay there, one arm lazily tucked behind his head, watching the door Irene had just vanished through with a baffled expression on his usually unreadable face.“…What just happened?” he muttered aloud, more to himself than anyone else.His brows drew together slightly, a crease forming above his nose as he scratched the back of his head.“How could I possibly be a bully when I was asking out of genuine concern?” he asked the room as if expecting an answer from the air.Then a sigh escaped his lips.But just at that moment, uninvited memories from the night before flashed through his mind… the moans, the tangled bodies, the heat between them, the way she had pleaded with him. And her… that version of Irene: wild, raw, and completely unrestrained.In the next second, Glenn blinked, his lips quirking upward in something dangerously close to a grin.“If I didn’t know better,” he murmured to himself, “I w
Chapter 123 – Irene’s Embarrassment
******The voice hit Irene like a slap, causing her whole body to jerk.Her heart also pounded so hard it felt like it might burst from her chest, her breath hitching. And for a moment, she truly thought she might be having a minor heart attack.Then her eyes focused on the source of the voice, stunned.There he was... Glenn, no longer asleep, no longer still, and absolutely no longer innocent.His smug, half-lidded eyes twinkled with mischief, and his lips were curled into a grin so infuriatingly arrogant and smug it could probably qualify as a war crime in some countries.It took Irene a second to process what he had just said, then, slowly, his words sank in.And just like that… all the sorrow, regret, and despair that had threatened to drown her evaporated like mist in sunlight.“What…?” she blinked. “Are you just naturally this narcissistic, full of yourself, or do you rehearse in front of a mirror every morning on how to overestimate yourself?”She stared at Glenn, her
Chapter 122 – Irene’s Silent Predicament
******Still in the chaotic room, several hours had already trickled by since Glenn had drifted into sleep.The room was still wrapped in a thick, quiet stillness, constantly only broken by the gentle hum of the ceiling fan, the cool air the AC pushed around, and the soft rhythm of the two’s shared breathing.Outwardly, however, nothing had changed since Glenn closed his eyes.He lay there, statuesque, his chest rising and falling with a steady, unbothered rhythm. The calmness on his face was almost frustratingly divine… like a monk who had just transcended earthly concerns and entered a realm of perpetual bliss.There was no wrinkle of stress on his face, and no crease of regret… just serenity.But beside him, under the very duvet he had gently wrapped her in, a pair of eyes had long opened, and they belonged to none other than… Irene.She had long woken up, but she hadn’t moved a muscle, spoken a word, or even changed her position since then. Only her eyes... wide, tired, and
