Henry tensed and hesitated for a moment before responding, "Nope."

After a long time, Gabriella didn't respond. He stared at the phone screen with a growing sense of uneasiness.

He was afraid that Gabriella would recognize him, yet at the same time, he was afraid that she wouldn't.

Gabriella stared at the screen and found the situation even more suspicious.

The "Nope" heightened her suspicions.

Could it really be Julian's friend? Why was his friend replying to his messages?

That friend of Julian who has never appeared ...

A figure flashed through Gabriella's mind.

She smiled derisively, shook her head, and wondered why she was thinking of him again.

"Gabby, aren't you tired? Why don't you go back and rest?" Colene and Quinn went upstairs and saw her standing at the stairwell while holding her phone.

"Oh, the room was too stuffy, so I came out for some fresh air."

The room was stuffy? Why not just open a window? It was a great chance to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights

    After eating, Quinn headed to the airport. At the airport parking lot, Gabriella waved to Hugo. "Goodbye," she said, "see you in Aupuernea."Hugo hesitated, opened the door, and asked, "Gabby, could you come down to send me off?"Gabriella paused when she heard that. She exited from the other side of the car, intending to call Quinn, when Hugo said, "Quinn can stay in the car.""Sure!" Quinn quickly agreed and waved happily at Gabriella. "It's cold outside. I'll stay in the car. Gabby, send Hugo off on my behalf."Feeling resigned, Gabriella said, "I'll go to the terminal entrance with you." "Okay." Hugo smiled warmly.Quinn and Colene exchanged a look. They knew what each other was thinking.Gabriella and Hugo walked together to the terminal entrance. On the way, Gabriella tried to start a conversation. "Was the event in Frenjoof your last one before New Year?"Hugo shook his head. "No, I've rescheduled the remaining events to free up the second half of the month. Planning to

    Gabriella looked at Henry coldly and found it ridiculous. "Didn't you say you'd set me free? Grandpa's gone, we're divorced. So, why play pretend?"Henry was hurt. He didn't think Gabriella would see him in that way. She truly had lost all trust in him."I regret it, Gabby. I shouldn't have let you go. Grandpa's gone now, and my feelings for you are genuine. You might not believe it, but I truly like you and don't want a divorce."He said he liked her last time. When she asked when it began, he didn't have an answer. Even if he was telling the truth, why should she go back to him? Should she just forget everything that had happened?Gabriella's expression turned cold. "There's no cure for regrets. Whatever made you say that, let me make it clear to you. I won't remarry you."She couldn't understand what benefit she had left that would make Henry leave Hannah and come to play pretend with her. Could Grandpa's will stated Henry couldn't divorce her to take the chairman position?

    "The thief was skilled. He took your wallet while you were taking photos in Longen. Luckily, I happened to be there."Gabriella glanced at him, "Did you go to Longen too?"For a moment, she even wondered if Julian had taken her wallet. It wasn't just her imagination, as the timing was just too coincidental."Yeah, yesterday.""I see. Anyway, thank you."They had only gone there today. Perhaps it was really just a coincidence?"Don't mention it. Meeting a fellow Chatanese abroad, helping each other is the least we can do," Julian said, handing over the wallet.Gabriella took the wallet and held it in her hand. She said, "If you hadn't come in time, I would've already booked a flight to Oslay. How about this? I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow. If your friend doesn't mind, he's welcome too, my treat."Julian raised an eyebrow. "Let's discuss it later. I'll check with my friend.""Isn't your friend so strict? Doesn't seem like a friend to me, more like your wife, afraid you'll s

    Gabriella didn't go to Oslay. She told Colene and Quinn about Julian returning her wallet.Colene playfully nudged Gabriella's shoulder, teasingly asking, "Are you sure you don't need our company?""I can go alone." Gabriella smiled. Gabriella could've invited Colene and Quinn to join her, but she felt like going alone.Colene thought Gabriella liked Julian. She patted her shoulder and teased, "Alright, let's go! Get him tonight!"Quinn also thought Gabriella liked Julian and felt sorry for Hugo. "Gabby, be careful. After all, we don't know much about Julian.""I get it. Don't worry. It's not what you think." She just found Julian a bit strange and wanted to confirm her suspicions.Colene wore a knowing expression. "Is that so …"Gabriella was speechless.The restaurant Julian chose was a Jovease restaurant that Gabriella and her friends hadn't visited.On the far right of the restaurant, there was a row of small booths against the wall. They were separated by screens in the

    "Crack!" Something fell and broke in the next booth. A waiter rushed over to clean it up.Julian couldn't care less about Henry's feelings, and his face froze completely. Gabriella liked him? How come?He placed his hand on his knee and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He asked, "Ms. Carrington, are you serious?""Of course, why else would I come alone today?" Gabriella smirked, blinking her eyes.Julian felt like he almost choked on air. "Ms. … Ms. Carrington, I suggest you consider it carefully. I'm not sure what attracted you, but anyway …""Is it because I've been married?" Gabriella interrupted."No …""Don't worry. Honestly, Henry can't really satisfy my needs."Julian was stunned, mouth agape."Don't believe it? I didn't either at first. He seems strong, but he's just a toothless tiger. Despite surgeries and supplements, it didn't help. I've been lonely for these three years of marriage."Julian had his mouth opened so big that it could fit an egg.Meanwh

    Gabriella clamped Henry's mouth shut with one hand. Henry stopped talking as his eyes lit up with amusement.Gabriella let out a sigh. Her face was still flushed as she glared at Henry. "I'm going to remove my hand. You're not allowed to spout any nonsense."Henry suppressed a smile. He didn't nod or shake his head.Gabriella frowned. As she was about to say something, her palm suddenly felt moist and ticklish."Ew … " Gabriella quickly pulled her hand away. She wiped her palms with disgust and continued, "Henry, you're so disgusting."Henry replied innocently, "I'm disgusting? You were the one who provoked me. It's not like I've never touched your entire body before. Also, that time in the hospital ward—""Stop talking! Shut up! Shut up!" Gabriella's ears were bright red as she cut him off. How could he be so shameless to talk about how he'd touched every part of her body before?She hated that her memory was so vivid. As soon as he mentioned "hospital ward", the scene from t

    "Thanks, but there's no winner," Gabriella replied as she put down her fork. Henry suddenly made a condition and said, "I'll go back to Chatan, but you have to send me off at the airport."Gabriella was momentarily stunned. He gave in so easily?Gabriella nodded and replied plainly, "Alright. When?""Tomorrow.""Okay."Henry reached over for the wine bottle on the table and poured Gabriella a glass. "Try it. This is the restaurant's signature fruit wine." He then poured himself a glass as well.Gabriella clinked glasses with Henry and took a sip. Her mouth was instantly filled with the wine's rich, fruity sweetness. He asked, "How is it?" "Not bad." Gabriella gently smacked her lips and took another sip. "It's quite intoxicating, so don't drink too much."Gabriella nodded and said, "To be honest, after we settled the divorce, I wanted to treat you to a meal, like how you bought me a meal on the day we got our marriage certificate.

    "Huh? Why do you not remember much about it?" A dark look flashed across Henry's eyes.Gabriella had studied there for a year. Hence, she should have a profound memory of it, even if it was a bad one.Gabriella rubbed her forehead and said, "After I finished my exchange program, I was about to return home. But then, I got into a car accident. So, I don't remember much about a lot of things."So she had lost her memories because of a car accident. It was similar to what he'd guessed. However, Henry was still skeptical as he thought about that child.Did that child die after the accident, or did something else happen?Henry asked, "How did you end up in the accident? Were you severely injured?""I don't really remember, but I injured my head. So, everything was fuzzy when I woke up," Gabriella replied dazedly, recalling the memory. She had tried her best to regain her memories, but all her efforts were futile. So, she gave up eventually.Henry silently knitted his eyebrows tog

    Shawn and Carmila's wedding was rescheduled once Henry had been safely released from the detention center.However, Carmila's pregnancy was already showing, so the wedding was kept simple.Firstly, everyone thought she would appear unsightly if she married while being visibly pregnant. The second reason was that they feared the complex wedding would exhaust her and the child in her womb.Carmila was displeased, but she had no say in the matter. Furthermore, insisting on a bigger ceremony would make it appear that she didn't care about the child.The wedding car left Florin around 5:00 am and picked her up at 8:00 am.Shawn was in a suit, and Carmila was in a wedding gown.

    Naturally, Elaine wouldn't tell the truth. "I've told you about Moabia before. They're the ones who took the watch. "I ran into Fay's friend at the mall two days ago. She recognized and mocked me! I was outraged and tried to scare them today. But they smashed my car, pinned me to the ground, and beat me!"Unexpectedly, Sam scowled. "Nothing would happen if you didn't scare them."As soon as he heard about Moabia, he knew that Gabriella's friend, whom Elaine mentioned, was Colene.Although he hadn't returned to Chatan at that time, he had been following Colene's Twitter account and checking it frequently. He knew she had accompanied Gabriella to Moabia.She wouldn't let herself suffer, and she wouldn't mock others without reason. There must be a reason for everything.Furthermore, Elaine's words lacked credibility.Everyone would choose to portray themselves favorably, including her. Just like when she broke a person's leg and said it was just a minor injury. Elaine couldn't b

She naturally wanted to settle the scores!Alicia was speechless. Sam's plane was about to land. She didn't want to face him with a bruised and swollen face."Ah! Just wait and see!

Elaine replied unconcernedly, "Follow me."Gabriella and Colene stepped into a clothing store while talking. The clothing in the store was stylish. Gabriella chose a one-shoulder dress and entered the changing room.Colene was outside and exclaimed with astonishment, "Damn! So the woman standing with Henry outside the women's restroom door that day was Elaine?"Gabriella frequently videocalled her while in Draken, telling her about her situation there.She then realized that Gabriella had met the self-righteous foolish Elaine, the young lady of the Draken's wealthy family, on the plane again."It's her," Gabriella responded as she changed clothes."She came to Florin?""Do you remember that we met a big shot at the pol

    Then she turned slightly to see that Felise was still fast asleep. However, they were so close that they might wake her up.Gabriella didn't want Felise to catch them in the act.Henry didn't answer. He blew hot air onto Gabriella's neck, and goosebumps prickled her skin. He caught her earlobe and sucked it hard.A jolt of electricity seemed to shoot through her, and she shuddered. She curled her toes and shrank back.Suddenly, Gabriella became fully awake, and she tightened around Henry's hand. "What… what are you doing?"Henry's mouth was next to her ear, and his breath was hot on her earlobes. "I'm helping you relax.""No…""When you're relaxed, I'll sleep."Gabriella remained silent. Then, she bit her lip. "No, Henry… don't… uh, Lise is beside me… don't…"A light seemed to flash across her brain, and she stiffened suddenly, and her eyes went out of focus as she stared at the ceiling. Her breathing turned heavy.Henry kissed her cheek and got some wet towels to wipe her do

The man wore a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his lean forearms. He wore black pants and a leather belt, which showed off his long legs. He looked like a model.The woman wore a fitting white lace blouse, and there was a white-gold necklace around her creamy neck. Her arms were fair and slender, like snow, and she wore a short khaki-colored miniskirt. Her legs were slim and fair, and her skin was flawless. They were a very good-looking couple, and they attracted the attention of many of the parents. Even the children couldn't help looking over at

    It was already noon. Henry told the driver to make a detour to a restaurant. The waiter led them to a private room on the second floor and politely handed them a menu.Henry had come here a few times before. Perhaps it was because he didn't like lamb, but he only just noticed that there were several signature lamb dishes on the menu. Gabriella looked through the menu and ordered a few at random.Henry heard her orders and told the waiter, "Add a braised lamb and lamb rack.""You have great taste, sir. These are our signature dishes." The waiter smiled and noted it down."Will it be too much?""It's okay. We can bring it back if we can't finish it." Henry gave the menu to the waiter. "That's all."While they waited for the food to be served, the two of them chatted casually.Henry told her in detail about all the affiliated companies under Toussaint Holdings and the new products the studios were about to launch. He asked Gabriella which of these she was interested in. As lo

    Then Layla heard something that made her lose all hope."Layla, come to my office."She opened her mouth, then deflated and said, "Okay."The intern looked curiously at Shawn's retreating figure and said, "Why does Mr. Shawn want to see you?""I don't know. Whatever it is, I'll find out when I go. I'm leaving." Layla carried an expression of dignified resignation.She guessed that Shawn wanted to see her about the office romance issue. She wasn't dating Robin, but it was worse than dating. Shawn had just stepped into the office when Layla followed him in. Her head was lowered, and she looked uneasy. "Mr. Shawn, what do you want to see me about?" she asked, her voice hoarse. Shawn sat down behind the desk and arranged the documents on it. He asked casually, "Do you remember what I asked you during your interview?""Y-yes… you asked me what I think about office romances." Layla lowered her gaze and answered in a small voice. Her palms were sweating, and her heart was in her t
