I could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And honestly, I’ve grown used to this life now. The kind of life where flying to another country for dinner is no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Funny—I used to judge people like that. All those articles and gossip pieces about rich socialites flying across the world just to eat at some obscure three-star restaurant... I’d scoff, call it ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet... here I am.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I get it now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you can, when the world is yours to move through as easily as changing your clothes—it stops feeling excessive. It just becomes... normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julie, of course, is still very much on vacation. He only showed up long enough to be a wedding witness—looked fabulous while doing it—and then vanished again with the parting words: \"You two are insufferable, I’m off to sip champagne somewhere warm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, without Julie’s trusty hand at work, we’re left to fend for ourselves. Which ends up with Dee and I sprawled across the bed, phones in hand, Googling highest-reviewed places like a pair of clueless tourists. Not exactly glamorous, but it works. That’s how we’ve managed our accommodation here so far—organized chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time I finish my check-in at the hospital, the late afternoon sun is already sinking. I step out into the parking lot, squinting against the glare—when I spot her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning casually against the hood of the car, all tall and broad-shouldered and too good-looking for her own damn good. And talking—of course—to a very pretty nurse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A very pretty nurse who is smiling up at her. A little too brightly for my taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I narrow my eyes. Oh no, no, no. Not today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking, I stomp across the lot, my heels clicking sharply on the pavement. When I reach them, I waste no time—I march right up to Dee and wrap my arm possessively around her bicep, pressing myself flush against her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dee glances down at me, that slow, infuriating smirk tugging at her mouth—amused. Oh, she knows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turns back to the nurse. Her voice, that cool velvety tone she does so well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My wife is here. I have to leave, Nancy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nurse—Nancy, apparently—nods, eyes going a little starry as she looks at Dee. Clearly reluctant to let the conversation end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tighten my grip on Dee’s arm, leaning in a fraction more. \"Yes,\" I add sweetly, too sweetly, eyes fixed on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodbye,Nancy.Mywifeand I have places to be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nancy finally tears her gaze from Dee and gives a polite smile—though her eyes linger, far too long for my liking. But at least she takes the hint and steps away, disappearing back into the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I huff a little under my breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dee unlocks the car with a soft beep, and I release her arm to slide into the passenger seat. I slam the door shut—not too hard, but just enough to make a point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dee barely has her seatbelt halfway on when I turn, arms crossed over my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Estela—\" she starts, voice low, placating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cut her off with a sharp, sing-song, \"Goodbye, Nancy,\" mocking the exact tone she’d used moments ago. My eyes narrow at her, lips pursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dee lets out a slow exhale, the corner of her mouth twitching like she’s trying very hard not to laugh. She turns the key in the ignition instead, engine purring to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wasn’t flirting,\" she says, way too calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm.\" I make a very unamused noise in my throat, staring straight ahead out the windshield, chin tilted up in defiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly,\" she adds, voice warm with amusement now. \"Nancy asked me about visiting arrangements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh yes, I’m sure she did,\" I reply, folding my arms tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With her eyes practically glued to your mouth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dee chokes on a laugh, though she quickly covers it with a cough, shoulders shaking faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t help who’s looking at my lips,\" she says, utterly unapologetic, voice dripping with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh,can’tyou?\" I shoot back, narrowing my eyes at her, chin lifting stubbornly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, she reaches over with her free hand and gently takes mine, threading her fingers between mine with deliberate care. Her grip is warm, steady—impossible to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know,\" she murmurs, voice softer now, \"you’re the only one I have eyes for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My heart flips in my chest. The sincerity in her tone cuts right through my petty jealousy, melting it away like morning frost. I glance sideways at her—at the strong hand wrapped around mine, at her profile in the soft light—and feel my stubbornness crumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good,\" I mutter, unable to stop the small smile tugging at the corners of my mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should hope so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She squeezes my hand, her thumb brushing lightly over my knuckles in soothing strokes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trust me,\" she says quietly, voice dipping lower, more earnest. \"Even if I was in another life, another world entirely... I’d still fall in love with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without rushing, she lifts our interlocked hands, bringing my knuckles to her lips. Her kiss is soft but lingering, sending a shiver right through me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the only one for me,\" she adds, her words warm against my skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swallow hard, heart hammering in my chest. For a second, I forget all about the stupid nurse, about everything really, except for her and those words. My Daphne. Always my Daphne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You’re lucky you’re driving,\" I mumble, cheeks hot, trying to cover up just how much she’s affecting me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or I’d show you exactly how much I believe you right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She chuckles low in her throat, the sound rich and velvety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t tempt me,\" she says, her thumb still tracing slow circles against my skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve pulled over for less.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I whip my head to the side—only for a second—and then glance away quickly, turning to stare out the window instead, trying to hide the smile tugging at my mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>",1011,"2026-06-09T07:29:29.584Z",1,"novelbin.me","4b1a9ca60fe2bf98373a72945b01e67b20fdc033ba8b5378c37ae9a056d17452","qt-i-hijacked-a-harem-system-and-now-i-m-ruining-chapter-190","qt-i-hijacked-a-harem-system-and-now-i-m-ruining-chapter-188",399,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fqt-i-hijacked-a-harem-system-and-now-i-m-ruining-cover.jpg"]
