On the way back, Kimberly maintained a calm demeanor that revealed no hint of abnormality.

However, Samuel couldn't help but frown slightly at her overly compliant behavior today, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.

He uncrossed his long legs and patted his thigh, beckoning to Kimberly, sitting beside him, "Come sit here."

Returning from her thoughts, Kimberly looked at the man sitting elegantly beside her. His handsome brows were slightly raised, and his narrow, cold eyes fixed on her with a focused yet relaxed demeanor. Even when he deliberately restrained his sharpness, he exuded a compelling sense of control.

She should keep her distance from such a man by her initial intentions, as he was not someone she could afford to provoke. However, there was a magical allure about him, giving her a sense of security as if his mere presence could support her world, making her involuntarily want to rely on him.

Kimberly glanced at his long legs clad in black trousers, hesitated momentarily,

    Kimberly felt an ominous sense of danger upon hearing his words.His hand slid under her thin sweater, moving to unfasten the buttons at her back.From her angle, she could see Samuel's thick, dark eyelashes veiling the surging desire in his deep eyes, his high nose bridge so close and breathtakingly handsome.If she previously sought a child with heavy investment, as long as it met her standards, then Samuel wholly influenced her criteria. She wanted an emotionally stable, good-looking, and fox-like child like him. She was attracted to Samuel's genes.But dealing with such a person had its downside: it was hard to outsmart him. One careless move, and she might be outwitted and lose everything.Having suffered a few losses in dealings with him, Kimberly knew she had to be extra cautious.She quickly held his wandering hand, looking earnestly at him, "You need to define your standard of satisfaction. What does it take to satisfy you? Also, the agreement should be drafted by my lawyer."

    Kimberly could feel the joy emanating from him, her delicate and soft hands gently wrapping around his lean waist.After silence, she asked, "Are you still satisfied?"A glint of happiness was evident in Samuel's deep and long eyes. He leaned in to kiss her, his lips curving slightly, even the tone of his voice becoming more affectionate. He softly hummed in agreement.The usually calculating man suddenly seemed to transform into someone else, his voice soft and unusually compliant as he said, "Satisfied.""That's good," she murmured with a light smile, touched by his happiness but not forgetting the matter. "Samuel, I want a child. Try to fob me off with a huge remuneration again and see what happens."His heart felt like it was filled with honey, his cold eyes and brows softening with a smile. "I haven't touched a penny of that money. I'll add more to make it a round figure and keep it all as a gift for our child."Kimberly was taken aback, speechless.After a while, she spoke unrea

    Kimberly tightened her arms, her moist eyes fixed on him, as if mustering all her strength, she whispered softly, "Samuel, you must keep your word."This statement struck Samuel, leaving him stunned for a long while. He clearly understood the implication of her words.All his emotions surged and were forcefully suppressed in his heart. He asked in disbelief, "Baby, say it again.""I want you too, Samuel," she declared firmly this time.Her slightly curled hair spread across the dark pillow, highlighting her pale skin. Her eyes were brimming with moisture, her frail and slender figure appeared fragile like the wind.Samuel instinctively held her tighter. All the nights of silent suffering suddenly found solace at this moment. He had been waiting for these words for what felt like centuries.From his youthful fondness of unintentionally searching for her in crowds, to her marriage news that left him in suppressed despair, to his meticulously calculated approach to win her over - he had

    Kimberly felt as if all her bones had turned to jelly, too exhausted to straighten her back. She leaned on him, letting him do as he pleased.His well-defined fingers gently combed through her soft hair, tenderly blowing it dry. Resting against him with her eyes closed, she was on the verge of falling asleep.Finally, the faint noise of the hairdryer ceased, and he put it aside. His hands clasped around her waist, and he bent down to scoop her up horizontally.As she was laid on the bed, Kimberly instinctively rolled to the other side, wanting nothing more than a good night's sleep undisturbed.However, the man behind her had other ideas. His tall, imposing figure leaned over, and his strong arms enveloped her slender waist from behind. His hot chest pressed against her excellent, thin back, followed by kisses trailing down her soft, pale neck.Half-conscious, Kimberly tried to dodge.To her surprise, he became even more unbridled, flipping her over and advancing again.In her daze, K

    When Kimberly woke up, Samuel had already left.Her whole body ached as if she had been beaten, while Samuel seemed unaffected, having tormented her until dawn and then going to work as if nothing had happened.Getting up, she noticed a note on the bedside table left by Samuel, mentioning that a nanny would come over to take care of her. The handwriting was bold and forceful, beautiful.Kimberly glanced at it but didn't pay much attention.She had an appointment with an investor in the afternoon, almost delayed by this man's cunning.She always wanted to rejuvenate the Wilson brand while maintaining existing consumers, for which Wilson had developed a series of plans. The afternoon meeting was to finalize a proposal for expanding the market of Wilson's sub-brand.Men can lead to the downfall of a country; she resolved to set strict boundaries with him later.Suddenly, she heard a slight noise in the living room and walked over to open the bedroom door.She saw Camila, who was cleaning

    When Kimberly came downstairs, John had already been waiting for a long time.Now, she no longer paid John's salary. The wool comes from the sheep, and Samuel takes care of it. In the morning, her account received a substantial amount of compensation from him, impressively efficient and even calculated with interest.With Samuel paying a hefty salary, John now seemed more like her personal assistant than before, despite being employed by him.After the morning rush hour, the car took only a short time to reach the Wilson Corporation building, as Samule's No. 9 River residence was close to her company.Upon arriving at the company, Sally told her, "Mr. Smith is here."Hearing this name, Kimberly's eyebrows knitted tightly. What was Steven doing here?She didn't want any entanglement with Steven now, not even wanting to hear his name.A flash of impatience crossed her beautiful eyes as she coldly commanded, "Don't see him. Send him away."Sally, looking troubled, respectfully said, "I c

    Kimberly didn't want to exchange a single word with him and completely ignored his attentiveness, passing him to leave the conference room.It was a critical period now. The brand's visual identity, product design, and advertising style needed to be finalized with no room for error.If the brand positioning and promotional activities are adequate, it could create a clearer brand perception for consumers and potentially lead to losing existing customers.How to better implement the concept and truly rejuvenate the brand were challenges Wilson faced and needed to solve. She didn't want to waste time with him here.When Kimberly was fully immersed in her work, it was difficult for her to be distracted by anyone else.She didn't even notice the message Samuel had sent her.Time flew by, and before she knew it, some lights in the office building had already been turned off.She saw his message only after finishing work and getting ready to leave.Samuel had sent a brief message: "Boyfriend

    Kimberly sat in the passenger seat, glancing at the focused and noble figure driving. She wanted to explain why Steven was with her, but she needed to get more used to reporting her matters to Samuel.The delicate girl pretended nothing was amiss, but unconsciously, she was picking at her seatbelt with her neatly trimmed, crystal-clear nails. It took her a while to speak, "Today, Steven attended the company meeting as an investor. I wasn't aware beforehand..."Before she could finish, his warm, dry hand grasped hers.His cold and aloof eyes slightly lifted, and with a smile, he pulled her hand over and kissed her white, slender fingers. His voice was sweet as honey, "Baby, I trust you. I'm happy today."Seeing Steven had made him uncomfortable, but that brief discomfort vanished when she threw herself into his arms.As for what Steven was up to, he wouldn't just stand by. It was their issue, and he didn't want to bother his beloved.The street lights flickered, softening his cold and

Kimberly decisively separated the business dealings between the Smith and Wilson families as clearly as possible.Unexpectedly, he encountered Kimberly at Club in the evening.She was followed by another man, who was carrying her coat. The club manager’s obsequious smile and attentiveness made it clear what that man's profession was.Kimberly, behind his back, had actually hired a male escort. Yes, it was such a slick-looking pretty boy. This realization instantly swept away all his rationality.At that moment, he finally realized how much he cared. Just seeing another man standing beside her filled him with unbearable jealousy, let alone a male escort.What if he hadn’t bumped into them? He didn’t even dare to think about it."Kimberly, there's a limit to being willful!" he warned her sternly.Kimberly showed no guilt or panic; instead, she retorted, "What right do you have to question me?""Because I'm your husband," he replied without thinking.

    On the night of the wedding, he deliberately alienated Kimberly and didn't go back. Instead, he went out to drink with Ethan.Right now, he didn't want to see her eyes, red and swollen from crying, looking pitiful.Even drunk, he didn't mention to Ethan why he was acting out of character that day. It would remain a secret buried in his heart, never to be spoken of again.During this period, he thought about repairing his relationship with Kimberly, but his pride and ego wouldn't allow him to grovel. He also feared her hatred if she ever discovered the truth about him taking Samuel's place. So, he threw himself into work, completing in two years what he had promised his grandfather to do in three, with outstanding results.He was promoted to the head of the Smith Corporation's technical department, a position he achieved through tremendous effort.As time passed, rumors and gossip about him inevitably spread in the social circles.At first, he thought of explaining to Kimberly, but the

    He thought that would be the end of it.After entering university, he and Kimberly were seen as inseparable by others. He looked forward to them making their relationship official.He waited a long time for Kimberly to confess her feelings, tossing and turning every night, unable to sleep. Could it be that she didn't sense his feelings?Impossible. He had been obvious enough. If he didn't like her, why would he accompany her to study sessions on weekends?If he didn't like her, he wouldn't have bothered choosing elective courses in her major.If he didn't like her, he wouldn't have patiently comforted her during her nightmares.Finally, on the eve of graduation, the day came when Kimberly took the initiative to confess. He admitted it was the happiest day of his life. Before she could finish speaking, he wanted to immediately say, 'I want to be your boyfriend.'But his happiness didn't last long. From her confession, he gradually realized something.She talked about the hand he extend

    From that day on, he began to subtly observe his friend's actions.More than once, he had seen Samuel's gaze linger on Kimberly.Today was a big basketball game between schools, and Kimberly couldn't come to watch them play. Samuel seemed normal on the surface, but he was caught several times glancing at the audience, seemingly searching for someone's figure.After the game ended, they headed out of the court.Lucas, who often played basketball with them, made a careless joke, "Why didn't we see Kimberly from Class 7 today? Isn't she the one who always likes to hang around us?"Lucas turned to him and said, "Steve, I've noticed that Kimberly not only looks good but also has a great figure. Why doesn't she join the school cheerleading team? She'd look hot in that outfit."After saying this, Lucas laughed at his own joke, but there was silence all around, and everyone instinctively looked his way.Hearing this, his brows furrowed tightly, "What the hell are you saying?"He was about to

    Time swiftly passed, and the high school entrance exams arrived in the midst of summer. He ranked first in his school earning a spot in best private school.At the moment the results came out, what concerned him most was not his own score but hers. He immediately sent her a message to ask about her results. He simply wanted to see if her highly praised 'sea of questions' strategy was effective, and he was eager to see her fail.After repeatedly checking his phone with no reply from her, he grew increasingly frustrated. She had promised to get into the same school as him; had she really failed to qualify?During the final tests, she had only fallen out of the top ten once, so she should have been fine, right?The only message in their chat was the one he had just sent. His patience wore thin. He knew that nerd's method was useless, and she should have listened to him.The tall teenager, clutching his phone, rushed downstairs.Grandpa adored Kimberly, and though it was the best school,

    Time flew by, and soon they were facing the high school entrance exams. Kimberly was determined to get into the same school as him.He naturally aimed for the best private school.As the most challenging school in the state, it only admitted the top students from each school. Knowing he was applying there didn't matter much; Kimberly's math was so poor, it was still uncertain if she could get in.However, since deciding to apply to the same school as him, she immersed herself in studying. She was no longer seen in various school activities and even used the short ride to school to review vocabulary, drastically reducing the times she spoke to him.She stopped watching him play basketball and quickly returned to the classroom after a hurried lunch.The girl, who always took care to look pretty, lost that meticulousness. Several times, he saw the faint blue under her usually fair skin, knowing she had stayed up studying.He had told her many times that studying overnight was ineffective

    Originally thinking she really couldn't speak, things changed during a year-end performance.He told a fairy tale in front of the whole school, titled "Princess Marlin," chosen randomly from a fairy tale book.After the story, there was thunderous applause. He was satisfied as he left the stage, but unexpectedly, he ran into the little mute girl backstage.His good mood was instantly ruined, and he pushed her away fiercely, "Get lost."To his surprise, she spoke to him for the first time, "Was it you?"He was shocked that she could speak, and her voice was soft and sweet, revealing that she wasn't mute after all.After the initial shock, anger welled up in him. She had ignored him so many times when he tried to talk to her; she had been pretending to be mute all along.This realization made him even angrier."What do you mean, was it you?" She's really an idiot; I don't even understand what she's talking about."You promised to tell me the story of Princess Marlin, why didn't you come

    This was Steven's first time accompanying his grandfather to visit the granddaughter of his grandfather's good friend in the hospital.The strong smell of disinfectant permeated the hospital as his grandfather and Grandpa Ruan talked in solemn tones."Is Kim being discharged from the hospital today?" Old Smith asked.Old Wilson didn't speak but nodded, his entire demeanor drained of vitality, looking much older.Seeing this, old Smith sighed, "Life must go on, Kim is still young, you'll need to take care of her more from now on."Steven looked at the little girl sitting on the bed, her skin porcelain white and exceptionally delicate, but her most beautiful eyes were dull and empty. Her long lashes drooped as she kept turning her head to look out the window, seemingly unaware of his grandfather greeting her, showing no manners at all."What did the doctor say about Kim's condition? Shouldn't she stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation?" old Smith sighed, seeing the onc
