"You rarely make requests of me, so I had no reason to refuse."Whitney was a bit speechless.They were clearly discussing serious matters, yet he made it sound like flirting.10 minutes later, they arrived at the apartment.As soon as they walked in, Whitney was shocked.The small apartment was pact full."You..."Caleb handed her a pair of slippers. "Are you wanting to ask if I was going to live here long-term?"Whitney changed her shoes and stepped inside.She grabbed a bottle of water, sipping as she looked around.Maybe it was because the apartment was small.These were the same items from their old house.But at this moment, it felt quite satisfying.She didn’t even think it was messy.The house seemed small but complete.He had handled it quite well.Caleb asked her, "Do you like it?"Whitney nodded honestly.Caleb headed to the kitchen. "What do you want for dinner?"Whitney replied, "Anything would do."She didn’t cook, so what right did she have to be pick
Blake went back with her.They handed out wedding candies throughout the entire hot spring resort.Whoever happened to visit that day got some.Even the pet dogs received some.They were hung around their necks, along with a big red flower, running back and forth. It was really festive.Yvonne didn’t even know when Blake had bought so many wedding candies.She didn’t bother to ask.They hadn’t planned on hiding the marriage anyway.That night, Blake also stayed at the hot spring resort, in Yvonne’s private room.He had stayed there before, but tonight felt different.One could say that the atmosphere was full of love and intimacy.The news spread like it had grown wings and flew to Harborwood.When Tristan received the news, he was still thinking about how to get Yvonne back.He wondered if he should start with Max.Although Yvonne would hate him, it was still better than having her out of his sight.The child was gone, but it didn’t matter—he could make another one.As
With the conversation having reached this point, Whitney couldn’t refuse anymore.“There’s a delivery later today,” Caleb reminded her.Whitney nodded. “I’m going to the office.”Since she was going back for the weekend, she figured she might as well go to work a couple of days early to finish the work beforehand.Caleb knew she wasn’t officially starting until next week.But he didn’t say anything.The colleagues at the Jisaston office hadn’t expected Whitney to suddenly show up.They quickly stood up to greet her.“No need to be so formal.”With Francesca leading the way, Whitney entered her office.“Bring me all the work materials.”Francesca asked, “All of them?”Whitney replied, “Yes.”Francesca hesitated, then said, “Okay.”After Francesca left the office, the other colleagues gathered around to ask what was going on.Francesca said, “It’s nothing. She just asked for all the work materials.”Someone raised a doubt. “Wasn’t she demoted to come here? Could she actua
She choked when she saw the marriage certificate.Yvonne actually got married to Blake?She blurted out the question in shock, “Is this real or fake?”“It’s real,” replied Caleb. “I’ve double checked.”He had asked Lucifer about it while scrambling eggsIf anything happened with Yvonne, she would inform Georgina right away.“If you don’t believe me, you can call Georgina.”Whitney felt that, in any case, it was Yvonne’s decision.She wasn’t someone who liked gossip in the first place.She was just genuinely surprised in the moment.Because from the way Yvonne and Blake had been, it didn’t seem like they were at the point of getting married.Though maybe it was bound to happen sooner or later.Blake was so persistent — even when Yvonne had been pregnant with someone else’s child, he hadn’t given up. He had even been willing to raise another man’s child.That alone made it clear that he only had eyes for Yvonne.The Hilton family really was cut from the same cloth.Whitney
He seemed genuinely surprised that she actually agreed.Even if it was said in a fit of anger.After all, she had always had excellent emotional control.She could get angry, but she never made decisions while furious.Because that would be irrational.And the consequences would be troubling.“Are you serious?”Yvonne sneered. “What do you think?”“I’m taking it seriously.” Blake picked her up and placed her on the bed.Then he began to pack.He didn’t really have much to pack — a lot of his things were meant to be left in Impelia.There were also staff who regularly cleaned the place.He picked up her suitcase, held her hand with the other, and said, “Let’s go.”Yvonne couldn’t help but roll her eyes — a beautiful, dramatic eye roll. “You expect me to go out like this?”Amusement shimmered in Blake’s long, narrow eyes. “Sorry, I got too excited and forgot.”“Get out.”“Okay.”Blake left the bedroom. Yvonne changed into a long red dress she had prepared earlier.She l
But in her one-bedroom apartment, there really wasn’t anywhere to hide.She could only sit at the desk.Caleb curved his lips and ate slowly, unhurried.Whitney wanted to go take a shower after a while.But when she turned around, his broad back came into view.It rose and fell with the movement of his cutlery.Whitney wanted to wait until he finished eating.But he was taking forever, and she couldn’t hold out anymore — she lowered her head and ran to the bathroom.Still, it was only a temporary escape.After dawdling in the bathroom for a long time, she eventually had to come out.“You finally came out?” Caleb’s voice was lazy and teasing. “Any later and I was about to call emergency services.”Whitney didn’t dare look at him, carefully walked to the bed, lifted the covers, and lay down.Caleb turned on the sofa and glanced at her.He chuckled.Suddenly, Whitney realized something.Wasn’t her hiding just a form of playing hard to get?They were already remarried — wha
