Michelle received the document sent by Leonard and quickly responded. Michelle: Alright, I'll take a look now. Please hold on for a moment. She opened the electronic version of the service contract, methodically reading from the beginning to the end. Once she had gone through the entire document, she closed it expressionlessly. Did they think she had never signed a legitimate contract before? Or perhaps they believed she was inexperienced? The quoted price was outrageously low! Moreover, the task requirements set out were utterly unreasonable! Given the rate specified in the contract, Michelle would rather freelance, occasionally taking on some additional tasks in her free time. While she was initially angered, she quickly composed herself. After all, it wasn’t Leonard who had decided on the contract's contents; it was NexRealm Studios. Guided by the principle of considering both parties' perspectives while ensuring she wasn't at a disadvantage, Michelle made some revisions to t

Alex, in a rare moment, found himself lost in a deep, contemplative silence. After what felt like an eternity, he gave a faint acknowledgment to Derek, signaling his understanding of the situation. Without even sparing a glance in Derek's direction, he simply said, "That's all for now. You can leave." Relieved that Alex hadn't expressed any grievances toward NexRealm Studios, Derek took advantage of his boss's seemingly calm demeanor and quickly exited the office. However, not ten minutes had passed when Derek was summoned back. On the outside, he maintained a composed appearance, but internally, his heart raced with apprehension as he entered Alex's office. "Damn," Derek thought, "I haven't been with NexRealm Studios for years. Don't pin their spending on me." With a nervous stride, Derek approached Alex's desk, eyes darting towards the man seated behind it. Alex looked up, his instructions concise. "Get the documentation from Leonard regarding the work of the new strategist." D

Lizzy was a child easily pleased, especially by Michelle. Whenever Michelle would coax or compliment her, even if it was done in a perfunctory manner, Lizzy would be overjoyed. This left Alex with a hint of envy. Michelle patiently explained to the child her need to work, and although Lizzy was initially quite upset, she was eventually pacified by Michelle's assurances. Once Lizzy was appeased, Michelle could finally focus her energy on her job. Leonard had mentioned that Michelle didn't need to keep regular office hours, but occasionally she still had to visit NexRealm Studios. Because they hadn't previously signed any agreement, Leonard had been unable to disclose project details to Michelle. Now with a contract in place, to leverage Michelle's skills and hasten the project's progress, Leonard provided her a detailed introduction to the project, "Starpath". "Starpath" was the third collaboration between Brandon and NexRealm Studios. Set in a distant starry future where deities

In truth, Michelle held no particular fondness for Brandon. From her work perspective, he might just be another superior poised to overshadow her. In the context of their industry, Michelle held in low regard authors who abandoned their projects midway. Although her bosses were some of those very authors, it didn't prevent her from looking down on them as peers. Faced with Brandon's kind offer, Michelle politely declined. Michelle responded, "Thank you, but someone is picking me up." Brandon felt a pang of disappointment. Still, he sought another opportunity to spend time alone with her. "Maybe next time I could treat you to coffee?" he offered with a benign smile, adding, "We can discuss the game's storyline in the process." Michelle had intended to refuse, but when Brandon brought up work as a reason, she found herself cornered. "Alright then," she relented with a smile. Brandon then successfully added Michelle on W******p. Once Michelle had left, Leonard shot Brandon a look t

The next day, as per usual, Alex came to Michelle's house for breakfast. Michelle glanced up at him, noticing the weary look on his face, seemingly from a restless night. Her gaze then shifted to the child beside him, who wore the same gloomy expression. Michelle thought to herself, "Like father, like daughter." Though she mentally joked about their similarities, Michelle still expressed concern towards the child's father. Looking at Alex with eyes filled with a mix of care and worry, she asked, "Mr. Ye, did you not sleep well last night?" Alex took a seat across from her. He met her gaze for a brief moment, his expression neutral, before his attention seemed to wander elsewhere. In a soft voice, he merely replied with a noncommittal hum, not offering any further explanation. Seeing that he wasn't keen on continuing the conversation, Michelle didn't press any further. After all, she wasn't genuinely concerned about him. She turned her attention to the gloomy-looking child and asked

When Brandon mentioned he had no objections, Michelle was taken aback.She had expected that Brandon, as the original author, might offer some guidance or at least share his perspective. After all, this was his creation. What if their visions clashed?Subconsciously looking up at Brandon, Michelle caught him staring intently at her, his gaze alight, as if countless stars were dancing within his eyes.She hesitated for a moment, then averted her eyes, giving a soft cough.Leonard was still keen on diverting Brandon's attention.Seeing that Brandon was trying to flirt with Michelle, he deftly steered the conversation back to the "Star Path" project, discussing the upcoming plotlines.With Michelle refining the direction and subplots of the "Star Path" project, they were gearing up to design the game's content and scripts.Though Leonard was the project director at NexRealm Studios, his expertise lay in game scene modeling. While he had a fair understanding of game narratives and scripts

Alex deeply pondered over what might have upset Michelle, to the extent that he hardly paid any attention to the latter half of his meeting.He suspected that Michelle might be upset because he had been wrapped up in his work lately, leaving little time for their daughter, Lizzy.Today, Lizzy had unexpectedly called him. However, due to work, he informed her he'd be late coming home. Lizzy, he presumed, must be a tad upset about this.After all, Michelle didn't seem like someone who'd be annoyed over his inability to spend time with her.Alex sighed inwardly.Yes, he was indeed self-aware.With this realization, he quickly concluded the meeting.Before heading home, he made a detour to a nearby mall to pick up a few things.Upon entering his home, Alex noticed Michelle engrossed in her laptop, working on something, while Lizzy was cuddled up next to her, engrossed in an animated show on the TV.Michelle, sensing Alex's arrival, nudged their daughter.Lizzy looked up.

On Saturday morning, Lizzy Xia and Sophie Ye headed together to a local art workshop for their painting class. Nathan Ye and Aria Cheng, the young couple, seemed to have found themselves in a delicate situation. They had to go to the hospital for a check-up today, and had entrusted Alex Ye to look after Sophie.Understanding his cousin's concern for his wife, Alex had immediately agreed without a second thought. Having Lizzy around as a friend and playmate for Sophie was a good thing, especially since they were close like sisters. After the painting class, the two little girls proudly showcased their freshly crafted artworks to Alex, tilting their heads up expectantly, waiting for his praise. Recalling the expression on Michelle Xia's face the last time she praised a child, Alex couldn't help but chuckle before he began complimenting the young artists."You both did an amazing job, Lizzy and Sophie," Alex said. "You've improved a lot since last time."Children need affirmation, he

Alex Ye had once imagined that their baby might be like Lizzy: soft, sweet, and utterly adorable, like a heart-melting marshmallow. However, their baby and Lizzy, the marshmallow, were nothing alike.Ella was not the type of baby who craved affection. Even before she could talk or walk, she rarely smiled or showed interest when adults tried to play with her. If Michelle tried to engage her, she'd give a minimal reaction. But if it was Alex or Lizzy, she'd simply close her eyes and pretend to sleep.In front of a baby, not everyone is treated equally.Thus, both Alex and Lizzy felt a bit defeated.Eleanor Ye, however, was quite surprised by Ella's demeanor. She remarked to Alex, "You were just like this as a baby. When your dad and I tried to play with you, you wouldn't even look at us."So, Alex realized that the baby's temperament was inherited from him; he was the root cause of it all.Even though Ella wasn't particularly sociable, it didn't stop Alex and Lizzy from showering her wi

Lizzy Xia was deeply troubled by the birth of her younger sister. She had often heard adults say that younger sisters were delicate, needing constant pampering, love, and affection. They shouldn't be scolded or disciplined. So, with a little sister in tow, what was she supposed to do?This dilemma haunted Lizzy daily, distracting her so much that she even forgot her routine of seeking affection from her mom.One day, after returning from kindergarten, Lizzy's first instinct was to check on her baby sister, bypassing her usual routine of seeking affection from Michelle. It had been quite some time since she had shown her mother her typical, childlike affection, and Michelle couldn't help but feel puzzled.She asked her husband, "Do you think Lizzy doesn't like me anymore? Why doesn't she come to me for cuddles anymore?"Alex, taken aback by the change in Lizzy's behavior, hadn't expected Lizzy's affection for her sister to surpass her love for Michelle. He had previously assumed that

Little brother is being naughty. He keeps bullying mommy!”Hearing the slightly aggrieved childish tone, Mr. Ye couldn't help but set aside his work and sighed.Alex Ye lifted his daughter onto his lap, his voice gentle, “What did the little brother do?”In reality, they didn't know whether Michelle Xia was expecting a boy or a girl. But, in Lizzy's min

While Alex Ye pondered how he might explain the situation to his little girl, Lizzy Xia interjected with visible concern, “Mommy is sick. We need to take her to the doctor!”“Not only that, she’ll need shots and medicine! Last time I was sick, I had to get shots and take medicine. So Mommy will need the same!”Hearing the urgency in Lizzy’s voice, Alex paused before reassuring her, “Don’t worry, Lizzy. Mommy isn't sick.”Relieved, Lizzy thought to herself, "Good, as long as Mommy isn’t sick." However, with her round, inquisitive eyes fixed on Alex, she pressed, “Then why is Mommy always sleeping?”She recalled that, in the past, whenever she returned from kindergarten, her mother, Michelle Xia, would be hard at work writing, always available for a cuddle. Now, it seemed all Michelle did was sleep, depriving Lizzy of her cherished snuggles.Pondering her question, Alex seemed momentarily at a loss. “I honestly don’t know,” he finally admitted.Disappointed in her father’s response, Li

That same night, Michelle Xia was sleeping alongside Lizzy Xia. Lizzy was a well-behaved child when she slept, barely moving when nestled in Michelle's arms, which made it quite a comfortable experience for Michelle. Of course, sleeping next to Mr. Ye was also comfortable, but it could sometimes be exhausting. Moreover, Mr. Ye always woke up early and would occasionally playfully disturb her sleep.Michelle strongly believed that part of her recent fatigue was because she was waking up too early in the morning. She had hoped that by sleeping with Lizzy, she could catch a few more moments of sleep since Lizzy wasn’t an early riser like Alex Ye.However, the next morning, a blaring alarm startled Michelle from her sleep. The sudden loud noise made her heart jump, thinking for a moment she might be having a heart attack.Lizzy, still groggy from sleep, slowly climbed out of bed. She found the source of the noise and turned off the alarm. As she did, realization dawned on her. She had hi

It was evident that Lizzy adored her little brother immensely.One day, Michelle curiously asked her daughter whether she would prefer a younger brother or sister. Without hesitation, Lizzy solemnly replied, "I don't want Mommy to be in pain. I don't need a brother or a sister." Michelle was momentarily stunned by the child's sincere expression, then laughed softly, ruffling Lizzy's hair. How could her child be so endearingly considerate at such a young age, empathizing with her mother's discomfort?Michelle had a vague intuition that something might be amiss when she realized her menstrual cycle was off. Recalling the past, it dawned upon her that it had been a while since her last period. Upon mentioning her suspicion to Alex Ye, he looked at her with an "I thought you'd never notice" expression. Alex commented, "I was expecting y

Michelle Xia woke up to find something warm and soft tucked into her embrace, providing an added comfort. Without a second thought, she knew it was her sticky little daughter, Lizzy, who must have sneaked into her bed for some shared slumber. Even though she was now awake, Michelle was in no hurry to rise, especially with a snuggly little one in her arms. The desire to stay in bed was even stronger. Lizzy, despite being an early riser unlike her mother, was half-awake. Sensing Michelle's alertness, Lizzy too came to full consciousness.Lizzy Xia's voice was soft and sweet as she cooed to Michelle Xia, wanting kisses, cuddles, and to nuzzle against her cheek. Yet, she carefully avoided mentioning why she was on her mother's bed.Michelle playfully asked the little one, "Lizzy, how did you end up on mommy's bed?"With wide innocent eyes, Lizzy feigned innocence, saying, "Because mommy wanted Lizzy to sleep with her, so Lizzy appeared on mommy's bed!"Michelle tried to stifle her laugh

Lizzy Xia promised to give her unicorn toy to Liam, and when she made promises, especially to kids, she kept them. Though parting with her toy was painful for her, the thought of little Liam, who was afraid of the dark and would cry when awakened by nightmares, tugged at her heart. She couldn't bear the idea of him being scared. The next day after kindergarten, Lizzy hurried home. Clutching her unicorn toy, she entered Michelle Xia's room. Approaching Michelle's computer desk, Lizzy gently tugged at the hem of her mother's skirt. Lizzy noticed that her mom had been wearing skirts a lot lately. Before, Michelle had always favored long pants, especially those unattractive blue-gray jeans. Lizzy caressed the skirt's fabric, thinking about how pretty it looked. Michelle had been engrossed in her writing. An old employer had reached out, and she'd been chatting with him. But now, this little clingy bundle of joy had caught her attention.
