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.

    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

    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.

    Kimberly felt she must have accumulated good karma in her past life to have such an overwhelmingly wealthy and fortunate life in this one. As she looked at the divorce agreement filled with numerous zeros and another contract for transferring shares of Smith's Group, she was astounded.A deep, magnetic voice devoid of emotion said, "Kim, we've been married for two years. There's some affection between us. If you have any demands, let me know. I'll try to accommodate."Steven's gaze turned cold; his long legs crossed. He said with a hint of impatience, "We were forced into a business marriage. I tried to live a fulfilling life with you, but we're not compatible." He would never spend his life with a woman who employed paparazzi to stalk him and used underhanded methods to interfere with his social freedom.Kimberly casually counted the zeros in the divorce agreement. It seemed like an astronomical sum. Steven was indeed wealthy, something she always knew, but she didn't expect him to b

    Specifically, it was written, "I am unable to conceive due to my husband's car accident. I am looking for a healthy man to conceive with me. I will pay him a lot of money." Kimberly said calmly.There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, but fortunately he maintained his basic professional qualities, "What is requirements?"Kimberly sat back comfortably on the large office chair, pondered for a moment, and said, "Must be handsome, have an excellent physique, graduated from an Ivy League school, and be good in bed. Price is negotiable.”"When do you want?""As soon as possible."At the end of the year, she should also improve her KPIs so that she can achieve her goal of having grandpa's grandson as soon as possible.Whether her request was too high or not, high effort for high return, and any man can be found.

    When Kimberly opened the door of the guest bedroom, she was greeted by the sight of a tall figure standing by the window. At the sound of the door, he turned around.His face was not clear, but the outlines of his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs all hinted at a very handsome man. Especially the way he stood there looking at her, with a distinct air of aloofness, she found it quite appealing.Before she spoke, he had already approached the bed.The room was silent; he said nothing, which made Kimberly feel a momentary embarrassment. They were still strangers meeting for the first time.However, the moment demanded action. She cleared her throat to break the silence and said, "Come here. Take me to the bed."Having paid for the service, she intended to enjoy the best of it.The man sitting on the bed paused briefly before getting up and walking towards her. As he approached, she caught the scent of his woody shower gel, crisp and clean. His height was imposing up close, an

    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. The giant heart-shaped display. The huge screen on the building across the river changed to ——Kimberly, Happy New Year ——Kimberly, I love you. The surrounding crowd started to get noisy and excited.
