After Divorce, She Married with a Chaebol Leader Have you fallen in love with him
Holding the slender wrist tightly, anger flared in his eyes like an erupting volcano. His magnetic voice was deep and cold, "Kimberly, what unforgivable sin have I committed for you to treat me like this?""Just tell me what I must do to make you happy?"Kimberly's wrist ached from being gripped, but before she could pull away, another long, cold white hand covered hers, transmitting a warm temperature through the palm to her wrist, gentle yet unmistakable.The cold, narrow black eyes narrowed, filled with gloomy shadows and countless sharp edges, as he coldly said, "Let go. If you have something to ask, I'll talk to you."His cold gaze was like a sharp sword, covering him in a chill that sent shivers down one's spine.He should have remained silent, but his words seemed to have angered entirely the other.Steven released the slender wrist and instead grabbed the collar of the aloof man, his anger boiling over, his forehead veins throbbing.His teeth gritted in hate, he burst out, "Yo
After Divorce, She Married with a Chaebol Leader You are very important to me
Kimberly raised her hand to embrace him back.Unsure of comforting him, she said, "Samuel, you are my boyfriend; don't listen to others' nonsense."Hearing this, the person holding her chuckled lightly, gently caressing her slender back.He took her hand and placed both hands together in the pocket of his crisp coat, his voice low and unreadable, "Hmm, that's enough for me."They had plans to return to the office in the afternoon, so they only went a little for lunch, just to a nearby restaurant.The man sitting across from her, cold and noble, elegantly cut his steak with leisurely movements, his demeanor calm and unruffled as if none of the earlier events had happened.She glanced at him several times, trying to read his expression, but it was impossible to discern anything if Samuel didn't want to be read.When the portioned steak was placed in front of her, she paused momentarily, then looked up at him and said, "Thank you."He raised an eyebrow and hummed in response, acknowledgi
After Divorce, She Married with a Chaebol Leader Don't you care about me?
After appeasing him, Kimberly returned to the office.Once she started working, she had no time to be distracted by anyone else.It was not until near the end of the workday that she noticed several missed calls on her phone.They were all from Evelyn.It had been long since she had heard from her best friend, and she wondered what had happened to make Evelyn call so many times.She quickly returned the call.It took a little while for the call to be answered.Evelyn's voice came through, crying so hard she could barely catch her breath, "Kiki, can I stay with you?"Kimberly was momentarily stunned to hear this."Wait, aren't you teaching in the countryside?" Kimberly asked, confused."I just got back today. I fought with my dad. It's hard to explain over the phone. Where are you now? I'll come to you," Evelyn said between sobs, her voice breaking. It sounded like she was still on the street.Evelyn was sitting on the steps by the roadside, dragging her suitcase, looking disheveled an

Not knowing what was said on the other end, Samuel paused momentarily, then responded with a suppressed and restrained "Hmm."After hanging up, he glanced at Bill, who was standing by, his hair on end with nervousness...He didn't intend to eavesdrop on his boss's phone call.Before he could explain himself, he saw Samuel, who usually concealed his emotions well, his face icy cold, and his voice chilling as he said, "Go to the dinner.""?" Bill was taken aback, not comprehending the sudden change. Just moments ago, it seemed impossible to sway his boss's decision, no matter how hard he tried.But now, Samuel had voluntarily agreed to attend the dinner.After speaking, the aloof and indifferent man tossed his car keys to Bill, who quickly caught them.Then he saw Samuel, with his cold and distant demeanor, walking out decisively, looking unapproachable.Bill lamented inwardly, thinking it would be better for the head of the investment department to attend instead...Kimberly, who had n

Kimberly silently contemplated after seeing the message.Glancing at the time, she realized it was almost midnight. After a moment of thought, she used voice input to reply softly, "It's too late now. How about tomorrow?"Unbeknownst to her, her speaking tone with Samuel had become softer and more negotiable.However, he didn't seem to appreciate it.He replied indifferently, "I'm outside."...Kimberly, wearing only a nightgown and a thin coat, cautiously opened the door, revealing a tall figure shrouded in wind and snow.The cold wind rushed in as she opened the door, chilling her to the bone.But in an instant, the tall figure blocked the wind, stepping forward and gently closing the door.Before she could react, she was already enveloped in his embrace.The cold from his body made her shiver.It was unclear how long he had been outside, his body cold as steel.His coat still carried the dampness of snow and rain, and the warm indoor temperature couldn't dispel his chill. She could
After Divorce, She Married with a Chaebol Leader Why should I reward you?
Kimberly looked at the man before her, his expression calm and mysterious. She silently decided in her heart that she needed to remind her grandfather to change the trust company as soon as possible. Her grandfather had toiled in the business world for a lifetime, and if this cunning wolf turned hostile, there was a risk that even her grandfather's hard-earned savings could be jeopardized.Samuel quietly observed the changes in her expression, guessing what she might be thinking. He spoke lightly, "A trust company backed by a large financial conglomerate has almost zero chance of bankruptcy or absconding, so there's no need to worry."Was she worried about the company running off? She was more concerned that this cunning wolf might whimsically squander her grandfather's savings without leaving a trace.She never expected that her shrewd grandfather could be outmaneuvered. Considering Garcia's 'favor' of adding two additional residences, the price might be at least that of the villa.D

Kimberly's eyes were wet with tears, and the corners were slightly red. She was feeling as if she couldn't trust her own eyes anymore. She buried her face in his chest, feeling aggrieved and humiliated, recalling the events that had just transpired. She was coerced into watching something she didn't want to see; it felt inhumane.Determined, she resolved to seek revenge - to retaliate fiercely!As sleepiness clouded her mind, she contemplated an efficient matter. Not only did Samuel know all her sensitive spots to torment her, but he also seemed to have her grandfather under his control. Yet, she knew nothing about him.Awakening to this realization, she suddenly felt more alert. As the saying goes, 'Know thyself, know thy enemy.' She couldn't believe she had overlooked something so crucial.She reached for his arm, which was gently drying her hair. His arm was firm, veined with blue, and always provided a deep sense of security when wrapped around her waist.The hand drying her hair

Samuel pulled away Kimberly's hand that was shyly covering her face, his thumb gently caressing her cheek. He tenderly adjusted the corner of the broad, white bathrobe that had slipped off her delicate, jade-like arm. The pristine bathrobe was back in place, but his hand, with its distinct knuckles, didn’t leave her. Instead, it rested on her shoulder, gently massaging to relieve her fatigue.The hidden light behind the washstand cast a halo of light on her, highlighting her delicate neck and ears, flushed cheeks, and large, sparkling eyes that grew more endearing the more one looked at them. And under the wide collar of the bathrobe, her fair skin bore his marks.A sense of unprecedented satisfaction filled Samuel’s heart. The girl he had longed for from a distance was now truly his. He used to watch her from afar, living in repressed frustration, but now she was genuinely in his arms, belonging only to him. The closer he got, the more he feared losing her, feeling that all this happ

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 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!"
