Austin had been quite busy lately. He only managed to join Natalie for breakfast each morning and spent the rest of his time outside.Natalie was doing okay on her own. She had her own activities to keep her occupied, so she didn't feel too bored.Austin descended the stairs, looking neat and tidy. "I'll be gone for a few days. Be good while I'm away, okay?" he said, affectionately ruffling her soft hair.Natalie asked, "Where are you going?""To Losena," he replied.Losena? That was quite far."For how long?" Natalie inquired."Three days," Austin answered.Three days seemed like a long time. Natalie often found herself getting bored when Austin was away for these brief periods. Nevertheless, she didn't have much on her plate.Although Simeria had been a bit restless ever since Austin ascended to his current position, he never mentioned anything about the shady stuff to her. Presently, she felt protected within a bubble created by her man."Earlier, Bia called me," Natalie s
Bianca hugged Nancy and said, "It's okay. There will be many important people in your life.""Ms. Sanders is one of them to me!" Bianca was truly important to Nancy.Bianca smiled and nodded. She tidied up Nancy's hair. "Eat.""Okay." Nancy nodded, leaving Bianca's embrace to eat the food in her hands. It seemed like these flavors could heal her.Her request wasn't high. All she wanted was a man who could love her and live a good life with her.But even this simple request seemed too much for the man in her life, which left Nancy disappointed and heartbroken.After breakfast, Nancy went back home. She said there were some chores to do. Even though John was unreliable, she was still trying her best to live her life.-The days of waiting for the outcome always felt hollow, making hearts race with anxiety.In the morning, Malcolm came.Bianca saw him again and treated him as if he were invisible, completely ignoring him. Seeing Bianca's indifference, Malcolm felt irritated.
Their eyes met.At this moment, apart from the coldness and danger towards strangers, there was no emotion in Bianca's eyes. Yet, this gaze once again stimulated Malcolm's heart, pushing him towards losing control.Bianca was silent. She moved her lips as if to say something, but she didn't know what to say facing such a man, even if she was angry.What could she say?He was just a scumbag! In Bianca's mind, Malcolm was no different from Nancy's husband. The only difference was his noble status. In an ordinary family, with his character, hardly anyone would accept him.Malcolm asked, "Are you angry?"Bianca was more than just angry!"What's in it for you by doing this?"Indeed, what benefit was there for him to help a stranger?Malcolm smirked. "I was never in this for the benefits."He only aimed for her!Even if Malcolm didn't say those words explicitly, Bianca understood. She said plainly, "There's never been a possibility between you and me!"Malcolm fell silent, and hi
Zane swiftly moved next door to Bianca, and Malcolm got wind of this news shortly after. At Snow Peak Manor, the man's eyes gleamed with fierce hostility, leaving Horatio trembling at the sight...!"Lord Malcolm!""He's living next door to her?!" When he spoke, his tone was filled with danger.Horatio nodded nervously. "Yes, sir."The air grew thick with tension! In the dim space, the man's face emitted a dark and cold light. The sense of danger permeated the air continuously, as if Malcolm wanted to devour something in that instant.Horatio looked at Malcolm, and the man said in a chilling voice, "Then shall I move too?"What?Move? Where to?Next door to Bianca? Horatio felt the blood drain from his face at the thought...!If news of their affair spread to Simeria, it would become a complete joke.Indeed!Even though they had already relinquished their positions in Simeria, Malcolm and Zane were once influential figures there. Abandoning everything for a woman was
Seeing Zane like this, Bianca's head was throbbing.There were plenty of ingredients in the fridge, and it must be said that Seth had prepared them according to his understanding of Bianca's taste. So, most of the food in the fridge was basically what Bianca liked to eat.Bianca was speechless. Glancing at the time on her wristwatch, she frowned and looked at the man in the open kitchen, who was skillfully handling the kitchen utensils.Bianca remarked, "I didn't expect you to know how to use those things.""Natalie said you like homemade food, but you're not good at cooking." So, when Zane came to Weiss Town, he cooked almost every day. After two months of practice, even a cooking idiot like him would improve his skills. At that moment, Bianca didn't know what to say. There was a dull feeling in her chest."I made chicken soup to help you with your recovery," Zane said.Bianca replied, "I don't need it!""You've lost a lot of weight, probably about ten kilograms."Bianca w
The anger that was already simmering surged even more when Zane heard Bianca answer without hesitation. It caused his heart to choke in that instant!"There shouldn't have been any connection between us from the beginning. I was wrong before!" She could have waited eventually to get a chance to break away from Malcolm. But at that time, she wanted revenge on him as quickly as possible, so she got involved with Zane.People said that when one suffered, there may be a reason for such arrangements by the heavens, and one's resistance... would lead them into another path of pain. And this path of pain made Bianca understand its agony.Zane looked at her, pain constantly flashing in his eyes. Bianca said, "Let's end things here, okay?"Was it okay? Of course not.Zane wouldn't agree!So, no matter how gentle he had been towards her before, his gaze at this moment was filled with endless determination.He simply said, "I won't agree to it.""Zane!""I'll look for you and nev
After Bianca returned to her senses, she realized Malcolm had called her numerous times. She hadn't brought her phone when she went to Zane's place earlier. Now, she saw dozens of missed calls.The phone rang again, this time from an unknown number.Bianca answered, "Hello.""Ms. Sanders, Lord Malcolm's been in an accident."Bianca fell silent. On the other end, Horatio's voice sounded urgent, but Bianca seemed unaffected by the news.An accident? What kind of accident?"Ms. Sanders? Ms. Sanders!" The urgency in the man's voice heightened as Bianca remained silent.Suddenly, Bianca snapped back to reality."What happened?" Her tone was calm and indifferent, showing no concern."It was a collision. He's on his way to the hospital.""I see."A car collision. Bianca's response was as indifferent as if she were hearing about Malcolm's dinner plans for the evening.On the other end of the line, Horatio was surprised by Bianca's cold reaction. How could she be so indifferent
At the hospital, Malcolm woke up and immediately asked Horatio if he had called Bianca after his accident last night. Upon learning that he had called and Bianca had only responded nonchalantly, Malcolm's heart sank.Horatio had initially hoped to smooth things over for Bianca, but seeing that she hadn't shown up or even expressed any intention to do so, he thought maybe it was better this way. However, he didn't expect to call Zane and get that response from him, either!Now, the atmosphere in the entire ward was shrouded in a dangerous fog.Clang! Clatter! Malcolm swept everything off the small table by his hospital bed in a fit of rage.Obviously, Malcolm was not taking it lightly."Lord Malcolm..." Horatio exclaimed."Let's go!" Malcolm got off the bed.When Horatio heard that, he was even more alarmed. Although Malcolm's injuries were not very serious, he had suffered a concussion last night. The doctors had said he needed at least three days of observation.So, how co
