When Kimberly finished work and left the company, she saw a tall, elegant figure leaning against the car – Samuel. His height and long legs made him exceptionally eye-catching. Despite sometimes speaking crudely, he had an inherent elegance, though his overly cold demeanor often made it seem almost aloof.

He had just come from some social engagement, appearing lethargic. As soon as he saw her, he strode over with his long legs.

Samuel opened his black coat and enveloped her in his warm embrace. The familiar, refreshing scent from his body was comforting and pleasant.

He then asked softly, “Are you cold?”

His warm hand gently stroked her back as he inquired, “Are you coming home tonight?”

Kimberly was unsure of her feelings. She enjoyed the warmth of his embrace but feared repeating past mistakes in a relationship. After a pause, she looked up from his embrace, her bright eyes transparent and independent.

She spoke softly, “You remember what our relationship is, right?”

He had agreed t

    After getting into the car, Kimberly remembered something important that needed clarification. She had intentionally set this issue aside with various matters clouding her judgment recently. Now that they had openly redefined their relationship, it seemed appropriate to address it.The charming and radiant Kimberly, with a hint of a smile on her lips and shallow dimples showing, turned to John and asked, “John, what made you think of applying for the position of my assistant back then? Wasn’t it a bit of an overqualification for someone of your status to work as my personal assistant?”Hearing this, John, who was driving, felt a chill run down his spine. He glanced at his boss, Samuel, who was engrossed in his documents, appearing indifferent and aloof. Feeling utterly unsupported, John knew he couldn't rely on his boss for help.John forced a laugh and chose a conservative response, “Miss Wilson, the compensation was good, and I needed the money at that time, so I applied for the pos

    John hastily dropped off his boss, Samuel, and Kimberly at the Apartment and left quickly, fearing further entanglement in their affairs. Kimberly stepped into the house first.After changing her shoes, she headed straight to the sofa. Samuel followed leisurely, exuding his usual distinguished composure, showing no signs of apprehension about facing any impending storm.His deep, calm eyes briefly scanned Kimberly, sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed and back straight. Her gaze was fixed on him, cold and mocking. She was waiting for him to initiate the conversation and confess.Kimberly had expected him to show some remorse, but he did not. His tall figure was calm and composed, his face expressionless.Kimberly's voice turned cold. "Samuel, I'm giving you one last chance. You'd better confess everything."Samuel was silent momentarily, then finally said, "Wait a moment."Kimberly watched as he went into the study and soon returned with an exquisite black velvet box in his hand.

    After hearing his words, Kimberly didn't respond. She composed her thoughts, freed her wrist from his grasp, and walked past him.She could see the neon lights flickering outside in her top-floor apartment in the city center. While the nightlife out was beginning, the atmosphere inside the apartment was as still as a pond.Samuel stood still for a long time, his pale and bony hand seemingly still feeling the softness of her skin. Yet now, his hand was empty, mirroring the void in his heart.Standing tall and aloof, his dignified figure bent down to pick up the valuable blue diamond from the carpet. He placed it back into the velvet box, gathered it in his hand, and went to the study.After Kimberly finished her routine, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Taking advantage of Samuel's absence as he worked in the study, she opened her Instagram and browsed her old posts.From her first year in university to the present, it took her a while to go through years of posts. The mo

    Kimberly lay awake in bed for a long time, the master bedroom bathed in cold hues, dark and lonely. She lay with her eyes open in the darkness for a while, not turning on the light, then decided to reach out and open the curtain control switch.The luxurious curtains that covered the entire floor-to-ceiling windows slowly retracted to both sides. Instantly, the dazzling lights from outside poured in through the enormous windows. The neon lights, wrapped in the night, were mesmerizing and quiet, silently twinkling.It was late at night, and Samuel was still dealing with work.Perhaps it was because of work, but more likely, it was his way of subtly expressing his displeasure about today’s events.Usually, she would never show weakness to someone who schemed against her so ruthlessly, but today was different.For some reason, remembering him silently watching her joys and sorrows with another person from afar in a foreign land over several years stirred something in her heart.Finally,

    Upon hearing this, Kimberly’s ears turned red, but she didn't avoid it this time and looked straight back into his burning gaze."Samuel, remember that I am the Boss here. Please know your place," she blushed, speaking righteously.A smile appeared in his indifferent, cold eyes. He lowered his gaze and laughed softly, the laughter spreading in the subdued atmosphere.Samuel's smile was beautiful, like the melting of pristine frost and snow, warming the iciness in his eyes. Kimberly was momentarily stunned by it.His handsome eyebrows lifted slightly as he looked at her seriously, "Are you sure you don't want to kiss me?"His tempting and playful appearance invited her to push him over quickly. The cold yet expectant look in his eyes made one want to tease him mercilessly.But only Kimberly knew this was a layer of innocence he cloaked over his cold and ruthless nature. On the surface, he appeared weak, luring one in, only to devour them once they were deeply involved.If this 'big bad

    The unmoving figure had no intention of leaving.Kimberly felt increasingly self-conscious under his unabashed gaze, her ears turning redder. Under his compelling presence, she didn't want to show weakness. It was just changing clothes, after all. If he wanted to watch, then let him.She pretended to be calm as she got out of bed, revealing her fair, delicate skin, marred with bruises, a testament to the previous night's lack of gentleness.The cold black eyes of the man standing by the bed darkened further.Just as she was about to step out of bed, her pale, delicate feet not yet touching the ground, he pushed her back down.He glanced at the time and murmured, "There's still time.""…"Fortunately, Samuel wasn't completely heartless. He only held her close, kissing and caressing, without going further. But it still delayed them considerably. When the car entered the alley on the east side of the school's rear gate, it was already filled with vehicles. The alley, a one-way street, nee

    At the breakfast shop near the school's back gate, the modest-looking store was bustling with customers, including students in uniforms, residents, and visitors like them who had come from afar for the food.The small shop couldn't accommodate many people, so tables were set outside the street.Fortunately, it wasn't peak time, so they found a spot to sit outside.Samuel didn't eat much, spending more time watching her eat.After she was full, his long, handsome hand took a napkin and reached over to wipe the soup residue from the corner of her mouth.Kimberly paused, looking up at him.Suddenly, she caught a fleeting glimpse of hidden sorrow in his eyes, disappearing instantly, making her wonder if she had imagined it.The cold and distinguished man stood up, his posture straight and graceful, holding her slender wrist in his stern voice. He softly suggested, "Shall we walk a bit?"Looking at the crowded street, they had arrived a bit late, and finding a parking spot was already good

This combination highlighted her deer-like bright eyes, making them look like clear pools of water. Her natural elegance and charm were evident.Standing beside the equally eye-catching Samuel, she did not lose any presence. Their unexpected match drew even more attention.A teacher in the crowd, Emily felt a sense of loss upon seeing the woman beside Samuel. She had harbored feelings for Samuel since high school but knew their difference in status was vast. Holding onto a sliver of hope, she once confessed her feelings to him, but the usually indifferent Samuel told her he liked someone else.She had always admired him from afar, and over the years, as the gap between their statuses widened, she gradually stopped paying attention. She felt excitement and joy when she returned to her alma mater to teach and learned that Samuel's company was donat

    This time was different from before. 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

    The crowd around them was packed with people watching the fireworks. The tall and stately figure pulled her into his embrace, discreetly protecting her. As a bunch of pink heart-shaped fireworks bloomed in the sky, the crowd erupted in waves of admiration, "It's a pink heart, wow, so spectacular." "Did you get that? Did you get that? So beautiful!!!" "It's so beautiful, today's fireworks show was worth it." Another loud bang followed, and suddenly someone exclaimed, "There are words!" The giant fireworks that exploded in the sky clearly cast several words against the black canvas of the night. ——Kimberly, Happy New Year After the words twinkled away in the night sky, another 'boom' resounded, and more fireworks burst forth.
