Hugo looked back worriedly before following her inside. After arriving at a cafe, Ava perched herself on a seat by the window. After Hugo ordered coffee, he returned to join her at the table. “Ava, I'm truly sorry about what happened last time.” “Like I said last time, it’s not your fault, so you
Hugo looked at Ava with a baffled expression. Ava blushed and lowered her head. “I didn't believe in love at first sight until I met you at the school gate when I was getting something from you for Danielle. Even when your ex-girlfriend harassed me, there’s never been a moment when I felt sore abou
“She was the one who shamelessly seduced you in the first place. She did this to herself!” Ava walked up to Hugo and casually took his arm. “If anything, I’ll have to thank you, Claire. If not for you, I wouldn’t have found the courage to date Hugo. You were the one who got us together.” Claire g
After leading Ava some distance away and noticing that Claire was not chasing after them, Hugo heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to Ava and expressed with some hint of remorse, “Ava, your face…” Ava gently pressed a hand against one side of her cheek while shaking her head. “It’s alright. I’m sur
“You’re right about one thing for once. I am Karl's woman, and regardless of what kind of problems you drum up, I can secure Ava’s job for her. In the end, you’re the only one who comes out looking bad.” Claire stuck out her chin at Danielle. “Stop being a bully.” Danielle snapped back, “Won’t you
He kissed her lips gently, full of tenderness. Karl was acting strangely today.Danielle had to try to turn her face aside, avoiding his advances."What are you up to, Karl?" she asked, panting slightly.Karl whispered in her ear, "I've confirmed that as long as we're careful, it won't harm the baby
Karl responded without much thought, "Knowing that your ‘mom-like’ sister-in-law will not be happy, you don’t have to talk about it."Danielle turned and gave him a disapproving look. The man sure had no filter.Timothy looked at the couple with a hint of disdain. "Can you two not act all lovey-dove
Ava sighed. "Claire is not in critical condition, but… Poor Hugo.""What happened?" Danielle inquired."When I arrived at the hospital, I saw Claire's father beating up Hugo in the corridor with many people watching. I wanted to intervene, but Hugo shook his head when he saw me in the crowd. I knew
Danielle coyly laughed it off. “No, she didn’t! Maybe I’m just overthinking it.” “In that case, don’t stress yourself thinking about it. Besides, Brooklyn was just someone that Justin’s family chose for him after they went through the list of candidates and decided that she offered the best. As lon
“I’m just telling the truth.” Karl smirked before prompting, “Alright, I’ll drop it. What was it that she said to you in the past?” “I don’t feel like talking about it anymore.” “What, is it a secret between the two of you that you won’t share with me?” Danielle shot him a look. In addition to sw
Karl followed Justin’s gaze and looked outside the window similarly, then he remarked faintly, “Do you feel like Harmony has become rather different? She’s not in a very good state of mind right now, and I think she will need a therapist when she gets to Miraco.” Justin stared at Harmony for a brie
Danielle relented, “Harmony, the reason he wants you to go back is not that he’s angry at you or anything like that. He's…” “It’s fine, you don’t have to explain. I have thought about it and have decided that I will believe in and listen to whatever he says from now on. I trust him as much as I tru
Danielle wondered what he wanted to discuss with her. What an elegant way to put it. “Sure, what do you want to talk about?” Karl sat up, “I just spoke to Justin on the phone. He says he’s going to Miraco next month to start a new branch there and that he will be there for a few years. I was hopi
As Danielle turned around, she saw Max at the door. She stopped in her tracks briefly before finally walking over. “Are you guys done already?” Max just smiled at her slightly. “Mr. Burt is a concise person.” Danielle replied, “That’s fair. Thank you for saving Karl today.” “Mr. Burt has already
Hearing Max’s name, Karl deliberated briefly before responding, “Dan, why don’t you help them send Harmony back to her ward? In the meantime, you can have Max come in. I have something to say to him.” Danielle got worried. “What do you have to say to him? Let’s just forget about it.” “Don’t worry,
After receiving the news that Karl had woken up, despite just being discharged from the emergency room, Harmony made a fuss about wanting to go see Karl. Timothy was also worried. He agreed with Harmony’s request and brought her to Karl’s ward via wheelchair. Seeing Karl, Harmony burst out in tear
As Danielle said that, tears started rolling down her cheeks, her shaky hands moving towards the call bell. How could Karl not recognize her? Could he have hit his head when he fell? What could she do? What could she do now that the person she loved no longer recognized her? Before she could pre
