Please Come Back, My Love novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93

I turned my head slightly, meeting has eyes. They were cold, lethal. No warmth, no mercy.

He’d actually threatened her for me.

Catherine cleared her throat, the sound strangled. “Elena. I came to apologize. For yesterday. For pushing you into the pool. She swallowed hard, her jaw tight. It was wrong.

The words were right. But her eyes told a completely different story. They were full of resentment, barely contained hatred, pure venom.

She didn’t mean a single fucking word.

Everyone was watching. Arthur with stern approval. Evelyn with careful assessment. Victoria with that perfectly constracted sympathetic mask. Julian with warning written all over his face.

I met Catherine’s glare head-on.

“You can apologize all you want,” I said clearly, my voice steady despite the anger coursing through me. “But I don’t have to forgive you.”

Catherine’s eyes widened, shock flashing across her features.

“The pain you caused-the danger you put my baby in-that’s not something some half-assed apology can fix.” I held her gaze, refusing to look away. “So no.

I don’t accept it. And I don’t forgive you.”

Her mouth opened, something vicious forming on her tongue.

Then Julian’s gaze cut to her-sharp, cold, deadly as a blade.

She snapped her mouth shut so fast her teeth clicked together.

“Understood,” she bit out, her face flushed with humiliation and rage.

“You can leave now,” Julian said flatly. “Or…

“Crystal.” The word came out like shattered glass.

She turned and practically fled from the room, the door slamming behind her.

Silence fell.

Then Arthur actually chuckled. “Well said, my dear. That girl’s needed someone to stand up to her for years.”

Evelyn looked… thoughtful. Like she was reassessing everything she thought she knew about me.

And Victoria? Her face stayed carefully neutral, but I caught the flash of calculation in her eyes.

Julian’s hand tightened on my shoulder, warm and possessive. “There’s something else,” he said, his voice carrying authority that filled the room. “Something we need to share.

Everyone-turned to look at him

His hand moved to my stomach, resting there with protective gentleness. “Elena’s pregnant,” he said clearly. Twelve weeks. We’re having a baby.”

The room exploded.

“What?!” Arthur’s face lit up. ‘Elena, is this true?”

“Yes” I whispered, my free hand moving instinctively to my stomach

“Oh, my dear girl!” He pulled me into the gentlest hug, his eyes actually wet. “This is wonderful news! A great-grandchild-finally!”

Evelyn moved closer, her expression softer than I’d ever seen it. Something almost maternal flickered across her features.

“Congratulations,” she said quietly. Then, meeting my eyes directly, she added awkwardly, “Now that you’re pregnant, you need to be more careful. I’m saying

this for my grandchild.”

“Thank you.” I managed, my throat tight.

Julian’s hand squeezed mine, his grip possessive and protective. When I glanced up at him, his eyes were blazing with something fierce and territorial.

Mine, that look said. Both of them.”

But when I looked across the room at Victoria, my blood turned to ice.
