Chapter 143

Author: Aurora Wells
I had to admit that Miles had an incredible body.

He was the kind of man who looked lean in clothes but was anything but underneath.

And it wasn’t the overly bulky, aggressive kind of muscle—every inch of him was sculpted to perfection. Defined, proportional, and built like a work of art.

Honestly, the first time I saw Michelangelo’s Apollo sculpture as a kid, it probably looked something like this, except Miles had the refined elegance of his heritage woven into his form, giving his physique an even more effortless grace.

How did I know all this?

Because I was staring shamelessly.

And to make matters worse—I was drooling.

Miles had already shed his suit jacket. Now, he was unbuttoning his shirt.

I was horrified and humiliated.

But I could not look away.

The moment he slipped the fabric off his shoulders, exposing smooth, defined muscle, he reached down—taking off his shoes next.

Then his fingers landed on his waistband.

My brain short-circuited.

“STOP!” I shouted.

Miles froze.

My eyes

    Was there anything more embarrassing than this? I pretended nothing had happened and shamelessly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep as soon as the check-up was over.But my attempt to cover it up was useless because, at 6:30 in the evening, Miles arrived. This time, he brought two women who looked like assistants. He told them, "I’m taking her out for some fresh air. Please help her get ready." The two women were very polite and smiled as they responded, "Of course, Mr. Wynn. Please step outside for a moment." Then, they opened the suitcase they had brought with them and took out an entire set of items. I looked over and saw a brand-new dress, a complete set of unopened cosmetics, and even a hairdryer. I was both surprised and delighted. I had actually been in the hospital for over a month. Even excluding the time I was unconscious, I had still been here for half a month. To a woman who loved beauty, it was absolute torture. I never expected Miles to be so co

    Miles thought for a moment before answering, "A woman." I grinned. "I figured the person hosting a private art exhibition would be a woman. Is she pretty? Is my brother going?" Miles looked momentarily caught off guard by my barrage of questions. He chuckled. "Alright, to be honest, I don’t actually know her that well. Your brother is the one who knows her, and he pulled me along. I figured you must be bored, so I asked Dr. Reed for permission to take you out." He glanced at my leg. "Dr. Reed said your leg is fine as long as you don’t overexert yourself." I nodded eagerly. "I can do it. I’m fine. Just give me a cane, and I can walk on my own." Miles couldn’t help but laugh at my enthusiasm. "Silly girl." I was too curious to let it go. "So, is she my brother’s old classmate or yours? And is she pretty? Does my brother like her?" Miles sighed in defeat and smiled helplessly. "Alright, alright. She’s your brother’s old classmate, not mine. And… it seems like she has a th

    The guests at the table conversed in low voices, occasionally sipping their champagne. When Miles approached, they looked up in surprise. He was used to drawing attention. With thoughtful care, he wheeled me to the table, and the waiters hurried to pour tea and set out plates. The distinguished guests at the table fixed their gazes on us. Someone recognized Miles and was visibly shocked. "Isn’t that… Mr. Wynn?" Just then, a delighted voice echoed from the wooden spiral staircase. "Miles! You made it!" Everyone turned toward the speaker. A stunning woman with a graceful figure descended the steps with effortless elegance. She was breathtakingly beautiful. Dressed in a striking red silk gown, she exuded confidence and allure, like a flame burning quietly in the dim light. Her skin was porcelain fair, and her long, jet-black hair was styled into an elegant updo, adorned with a single rose. The rose was placed artfully, pinned from the left at a slight angle into

    My gossip-loving heart was burning with curiosity, but this wasn’t the right occasion to pry too much. After eating until I was about seventy or eighty percent full, I asked, "Why isn’t my brother here yet?" Sharon’s expression stiffened for a brief moment before she quickly smiled. "He said he had to work late tonight, but he should be on his way soon." After saying that, she glanced at Miles with a look of silent pleading. Miles caught on immediately, smiling knowingly as he picked up his phone. "I’ll give him a little push." A few minutes later, he returned and said, "Nicholas is on his way. He’ll be here in ten minutes." I saw Sharon let out a long sigh of relief. Now I was even more puzzled. Did my brother really not like Sharon? But she clearly liked him a lot. Since when did my brother become so picky? As soon as she heard he was coming, Sharon seemed to come alive with newfound energy, her whole demeanor bright and spirited. She became even more attentive to

    When I saw my brother, I couldn’t help but wave excitedly. He noticed me and looked surprised. "Eve? What are you doing here?" Saying that, he immediately stepped away from the others and walked toward me. I pouted playfully. "I was going crazy stuck in the hospital. I made Miles take me out for some fresh air." Nicholas shot a sharp glare at Miles. "This was your idea, wasn’t it?" Miles smiled leisurely. "Well, sooner or later, the bride has to meet the in-laws. No point in keeping her hidden." I watched as my brother’s jaw clenched slightly. That remark… it was definitely a double meaning. It looked like Miles was the more cunning one here. Nicholas exhaled and turned to me. "Eve, there are a lot of people here. Let him take you upstairs to rest." He paused before adding, "I’ll take you back to the hospital soon." I grinned. "No need. Miles will take me back. You should focus on escorting your special guest instead." My brother’s handsome face instantly turned r

    "Everyone, make yourselves comfortable. The view here is great, and the air is refreshing. “This will be the new gallery space I’ve leased. If you find any paintings you like, feel free to choose. I also represent several well-known western artists…" Sharon seamlessly shifted into business mode. More and more guests arrived. The terrace on the third floor wasn’t particularly large, but it could still accommodate a dozen or so people drinking and chatting together. Miles and I had claimed the best spot—it was elevated by two extra steps, giving us a naturally superior vantage point over the rest of the space. I curiously observed the guests Sharon had invited. They all looked like people of wealth and status. I couldn’t help but sigh. "Miss York is really good at business. She knows how to entertain well." Miles suddenly remarked, "Maybe that’s exactly why your brother isn’t interested in her." I was stunned for a moment before following his gaze. Sure enough, my brot

    Jasmine had actually tried to set Miles up with none other than her own cousin.Seeing that she couldn’t stop us from leaving, she suddenly raised her voice. "Mr. Wynn, you’re a talented young man. Don’t let certain people deceive you!"Her voice wasn’t too loud, but it was just enough for everyone on the terrace to hear.The atmosphere stiffened. Under the dim, ambient lighting, Miles’ expression became unreadable.Jasmine’s out-of-line remark even startled her plump husband, James.He quickly grabbed her arm and hissed under his breath, "Are you out of your mind? Shut up!"But Jasmine was flustered and blurted out, "What do you know? My cousin is so beautiful, and we finally managed to—"The rest of her sentence was lost as she and her husband began whispering furiously.Miles turned to the approaching manager and murmured a few instructions. Within moments, two waiters politely escorted the troublesome couple away.Jasmine tried to protest, but the manager leaned in and gave her a

    May Rich let out a snort as a form of greeting.When she saw me, she sneered through her nose. “Well, if it isn’t Mrs. Moore. And this gentleman…”Her eyes landed on Miles’ face, and instantly, her plump face lit up.She hurriedly asked, “And who is this... this handsome gentleman?”The greedy glint in her eyes made me uncomfortable.Sharon introduced, “This is Mr. Miles Wynn from Wynn Group.”May quickly reached out, attempting to shake Miles’s hand.But Miles, who was always so polite and refined, acted as if he hadn’t seen her at all.He leaned down slightly and asked me in a low voice, “Shall we go?”I nodded.May’s hand hung awkwardly in midair, and only then did Jasmine seem to realize that Miles hadn’t acknowledged them from the beginning.So, the three of them stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to do.Seeing that Miles was about to leave, Sharon quickly said, “Miles, don’t go yet. Help me out a little longer. I’ve got a few paintings to sell.”I found it odd. What did her pa

    I hadn’t expected Nicholas to reject Sharon because he was worried she might treat me badly one day. My eyes burned with emotion. “Nick… she wouldn’t.” He shot me a look. “Wouldn’t? You’re such a softie. You’d probably thank someone for pushing you around. You’ve got no eye for people. But I know what I’m doing. I’m not picking just anyone to be your sister-in-law.” Then he started piling all the best dishes onto my plate, urging me to hurry up and eat. A few minutes later, Miles walked in with a sleek, elegant food box in hand. Nicholas gave him a look. “About time you showed up—we’re already halfway through.” Miles placed the box beside me with a small smile. “I had this soup made specially for Eve. It’s for after the meal.” Nicholas finished eating in a few quick bites and said, “Don’t try to smooth things over for Sharon. That woman plays too many games.” Miles replied coolly, “You’re well into your thirties and still don’t have a girlfriend.” Nicholas rolled his

    The next day, after my usual check-up, Sharon arrived. She brought a lot of health supplements and a few beautiful landscape paintings. With an apologetic tone, she said, “Miss White, I made a horrible mistake at the gallery the other day. It was my poor planning.” Then she took out a box from her bag. “This is for you too. It’s a set of premium freshwater pearls. I thought they’d suit your taste.”I politely declined. “You’re too kind, Miss York. I can accept the supplements, but this gift is too expensive.” She smiled. “Are you still being so polite with me? Do you think of me as an outsider?” I hesitated. I wasn’t sure what kind of relationship Nicholas had with Sharon. I didn’t want him to blame me when he found out I accepted the gift.Sharon noticed my hesitation. Sharp as ever, she caught on right away.With a warm smile, she said, “Oh, it’s really not that complicated. I just felt a connection with you and thought it’d be nice to think of you as a little sister.”I

    His voice was thick with congestion, and I couldn’t help but ask, “Julian, what’s wrong with you?” There was a hint of surprise and joy in his voice. “Eve, are you worried about me?” I quickly changed the subject. “I wanted to ask why you released that apology statement.” Julian’s voice dropped low. “Because I messed up. And I felt I owed you an apology.” I sighed. “That’s not necessary. Julian, you don’t have to humble yourself like this.” His voice was soft. “Eve, I truly know I was wrong. I didn’t realize how deeply I hurt you. That day at the beach, when I saw the look in your eyes… my heart shattered.” I cut him off immediately. “Don’t. I don’t want to hear any of that.” A chill ran down my spine because I wasn’t ready to face that dark chapter of my life. Even now, after all this time, just thinking about it made me want to disappear from this world. Julian murmured, “I’m sorry, Eve… I…” Feeling annoyed, I said, “You don’t need to apologize. I don’t want your

    May sank into her chair, stunned. “How is this possible? This can’t be happening… it’s impossible… all that money…” Suddenly, she grabbed the scrawny man by the collar and yanked him forward. “I don’t care how—you need to pull more funds together. We have to break ground. If we don’t, this project is going to rot unfinished.” The man could only nod. “Alright, alright… I’ll try again.” After all her yelling, May stormed out in a fury. No sooner had she gotten into the car than her phone rang. “May, bad news! A customer just returned a 130-gram gold wedding bangle, claiming it’s been filled with resin. Consumer Affairs has already sent someone to investigate!”May felt a loud buzz explode in her head. She shouted, “Can’t you just handle this yourselves? Pay them off! Triple compensation if you have to—we cannot let this blow up!” “Alright, alright—but May, someone from the Department of Trade and Consumer Affairs just showed up too.”May sat frozen in the car, hands and fe

    Ian immediately said, “Yes. That land was originally planned for a Grade A office building, but the board never finalized a direction.” Miles took the iPad, glanced at it, and asked casually, “How much did May invest?” Ian replied at once, “Thirty million. She holds about forty percent of the shares.” Miles smiled. “That’s a sizable amount. Call a board meeting for me tomorrow. We’ll finalize the development direction for our plot.” Ian hesitated. “Uh… do you have something in mind, Mr. Wynn?” Miles gave a slight smile. “Let’s go with a high-end SOHO community focused on modern smart-home technology and full automation.” Ian froze. “That’s…” Miles gave him a half-smile. “Just go. I want the board to approve it tomorrow.” Ian nodded quickly and left the hospital in a hurry. Once he was gone, I looked at the seemingly harmless Miles. “With this move, May’s thirty million dollars just went down the drain.” Miles gave a drawn-out “Oh?” and said slowly, “How could that

    In the end, with Sharon’s mediation, the painting was purchased by Julian for forty thousand dollars and then gifted to me. May was kicked out of the auction, restoring the artwork to its fair value. Her chubby face was filled with displeasure, but with Nicholas, Julian, and the quiet Miles all present, she knew better than to throw a tantrum. She left immediately, leaving the painting to Julian. After making the payment, Julian had Sharon pass the painting to me. He left without a word. I saw him glance back at me one last time before walking away. In that look, I saw the same sorrow mirrored in his eyes. Could it be… he loved me too? I felt a hand rested on my shoulder, followed by a warm voice. "Eve, let’s go." I nodded and quietly took his hand. ... At the hospital, I unwrapped the painting. The wave of loneliness and despair it carried hit me like a tide. The scent of blood and crashing waves was so vivid, it felt almost real. I asked the nurse to help

    He stepped into the center of the crowd and spoke calmly, “I intend to buy this painting and give it to my wife, Evelyn White.”Then he looked at me. “I hope she can forgive me. I’ve made countless mistakes… ignored the love she gave me. And now... I’m asking for her forgiveness.”The entire room erupted....I stood still, watching Julian from across the crowd.He looked nothing like the confident, arrogant man I first saw after losing my memory. His face was pale, drawn, his energy completely different like a ghost of who he used to be.His suit was wrinkled, probably from rushing over. Even his hair was messy, unstyled, like he hadn’t touched a comb or gel before leaving.His eyes locked on mine, tuning out the noise around us.I parted my lips but couldn’t bring myself to speak. I turned my gaze away from the heat of his stare.Nicholas stepped in front of me, his eyes full of fury as he glared at Julian. “What the hell is your problem?”Julian pushed through the crowd to face m

    Miles caught sight of my expression and gave a faint smile. “Getting tired? Want me to take over the bidding?”But I was still fuming. “No. I’ll do it myself.”Forty thousand, huh?I thought about my bank account balance and felt a little bolder. “Sixty thousand dollars!”Gasps rippled through the room.This wasn’t just a bidding war anymore—it had turned into a full-on showdown, with prices jumping by the thousands instead of a few hundred.May raised her hand proudly. “Eighty hundred!”“Wow, May Rich is really going all in.”“What’s gotten into her? Looks like she’s actually trying to send a message to the Whites.”“Did you recognize her? That’s Julian Moore’s wife. You know...”“Wait, what’s she doing sitting with Mr. Wynn? They looked... pretty close.”“Oh, you don’t know? Julian and his wife are getting divorced. Word is, she finally got fed up with all his affairs and filed a divorce.”“But the divorce isn’t finalized yet, right? And she’s already moved on?”“Who knows? Maybe it’

    The moment the auctioneer finished speaking, I raised my hand. “Seven thousand.”No one else followed up. After all, the artist wasn’t known, and the piece didn’t have much collectible value.“Eight thousand!”A voice suddenly called out from behind me.I turned and noticed it was Jasmine.She gave me an overly sweet smile. “Oh, Mrs. Moore, my apologies. I happen to really like this piece too.”I turned back around. “Ten.”Jasmine: “Eleven.”My brows knit tighter and tighter.Nicholas shot her a scowl. “Who is that? Why is she bidding against you? Is she out of her mind?”I hesitated for a moment. “Fourteen.”Another voice chimed in. “Twenty.”I turned, frowning even deeper.May had joined in. She threw me a smug glance before turning her eyes on Miles with the hunger of a predator sizing up her prey.A rush of anger flared in my chest.I immediately called out, “Thirty!”“Fifty!”“Sixty!”“Ninety!”...A painting by an unknown artist with no reputation had been pushed all the way up
