"Thank you for your offer, Mr. Coleman. But I don't need it," I said."You don't need it? What are you going to do when you embarrass yourself later? Even if you wanted to see me, you could have waited until I returned to the capital. Or did you purposely pick an important event like this to show up in front of me to force me to get back with you?"He still thought it was the old Leah who would never let him go and would do anything to stay by his side.He did not know that I had long severed my years of connections with him deep down."You're overthinking it, Mr. Coleman. I'm not here because of you today," I said.Brad let out a sneer. He did not believe me."Who else are you here for if not me? Leah, I can't believe how stubborn you are right now. You're not familiar with Clason City. Your family has nothing to do with the Blackwell family, either. Other than to see me, what other reasons could you have to come here?" Brad asked.Perhaps the past Leah had made Brad too confid

I felt a little tired after the wedding and snuggled in James' arms.He tucked my hair behind my ear and said, "Take a break if you're tired."I shook my head. "I'm not tired.""Great." He brushed his finger against my lips and said, "We haven't done the most important activity of today."My cheeks started burning.We had been intimate with each other in the past few days, but we had never gone all the way.However…I took a subtle glance at a certain part of him.I wondered if the issues with his legs would affect his other regions.I thought I was being subtle, but James still caught me.He raised his eyebrow and asked, "What's on your mind, Leah?"I felt his warm breath on my face. My eyes started darting around as I was feeling sheepish. "N—nothing," I replied."Is that so?" He leaned closer to me. His voice was husky and charming.As our lips touched, I wrapped my arms around him and got lost in the kiss.That night, James showed me that the issues with his legs did
How Deep Is Your Love Chapter 17
After the Coleman family dragged Brad back to the capital, they had his bodyguard keep an eye on him. He was not allowed to leave the mansion, let alone head to Clason City.In the past few days, they had been taking turns to talk some sense into him, urging him to stop with his obsession. They told him Leah had already married into the Blackwell family. It was already a done deal. If he still refused to let it go, he would only offend the Blackwells. It simply was not worth it.However, Brad heard none of it and said nothing. He also had Sean send the treasure chest to him right away.He had bought every piece of jewelry in the treasure chest for Leah himself.Brad felt like there was a rock on his chest. He felt a sense of dull pain, and he could not even breathe properly.Back then, everyone knew how much he liked and cared about Leah.However, he was lost in temptations after just a few years and forgot how he felt for her initially.There was a card that had turned yellow i

I went on a honeymoon trip with James after our wedding. However, we spent most of the time in our room, not wanting to leave.James could not walk but was a million times better than the average man in bed.He never let me off the hook throughout our honeymoon.My life after marriage was far more comfortable than I had imagined.James was highly influential within the Blackwell family. He had my back, so everyone in the Blackwell family was polite and respectful to me. Even his parents did not give me a hard time at all.His father was semi-retired, so he spent most of the year taking his wife on vacation all over the world. They did not live with us even if they were back in Clason City.I had only met James' parents twice after being married to him for two months.James' father was a middle-aged man who looked highly dignified. He was a man of a few words, so I mostly talked to James' mother.James' mother was a chatty person. There was never an awkward silence when I was wi

I did not think Brad would show up again at my door in less than half a month, wanting to meet me.James and I were trimming the roses in the greenhouse at that time. I almost thought my ears were playing tricks on me when I heard what the butler said.I could not believe it, so I asked, "Did you say Brad is here alone to see me?""Yes, Mr. Coleman is waiting outside the door. He's holding some things. He said they were gifts he had prepared for you," the butler said.I frowned and started feeling annoyed.The Blackwell family was powerful. Even Brad's parents had to be respectful toward James. Where exactly did Brad get the guts to show up at our home, requesting to meet me, who was already James' wife? Was he challenging James?Brad thought he was being devoted, but that would only destroy my peaceful and comfortable life and create countless troubles for me.I looked at James, feeling a little guilty and embarrassed.Brad was not my ex-boyfriend. He was my dark past.James
How Deep Is Your Love Chapter 20
The butler conveyed my message to Brad, but he still waited outside the door stubbornly, insisting on seeing me.Brad waited a whole night, but I still refused to give in.Feeling helpless, he told the butler to bring the gift to me. However, I refused to accept it.Finally, Brad left the new treasure chest at the door.I did not even look at it. I told the butler to get rid of it.All the jewelry was donated to a charitable foundation in Clason City. In some ways, that would be a charitable act on Brad's part.I never heard about Brad again for two months after that.That was until my best friend mentioned him.Brad had been forcefully removed from Clason City by his parents. They locked him up for almost a month after they returned to the capital, and Brad was only released the previous week.Even so, Brad was watched by someone whenever he went out. They were afraid he would sneak away and run to Clason City again.A few days ago, Brad heard some people slandering me, and
How Deep Is Your Love Chapter 21
Four months after I married James, I was reunited with my siblings, whom I had not met for a long time.They had grown taller. They looked like they were healthy and well.They hugged me and cried as soon as they saw me.My brother looked at me with tears and said, "Don't worry, Leah. I'll be able to protect you once I'm grown up. You won't have anything to fear anymore."He was only 17, yet he was still trying to shelter me from harm with whatever ability he had.My sister stroked my hair and said, "Me too, Leah. I'll protect you, too."Walter had always used my siblings to control my life. However, James had helped them break free from Walter's control.I no longer needed to be concerned about my siblings' situation or worried I would lose contact with them again. I also no longer needed to be concerned that Walter would give them a hard time because I did not do as I was told.After catching up with my siblings, I brought them to meet James.It was clear that they were a li

However, it was already midnight, yet James still had not returned.I texted him.James quickly called me and said he would not be coming home that night because something had come up at the company.I forced myself to hold back my disappointment and told him to take care of himself and not to overdo it.After I hung up the call, I looked at the two dolls I just brought home.James had spent most of his time working from home in the past few months. He would rush home before eight at night even if he had gone to the office.I had gotten used to having him around. It felt strange to have him suddenly spend the night at the office.I lay on the big, empty bed, but I could not sleep. I then got up and went to the studio. I planned to kill time by painting.I sat quietly before the canvas and thought about what to draw. As soon as I picked up the brush, I could not stop.It was after sunrise that I put down my brush, and I immediately started to feel sleepy.I put the painting aw

It was my mother's death anniversary again.James and I flew to the capital to visit her grave.She was smiling at me in the photo, just like she did when she was alive.I placed the flowers on her grave and told her about everything that had happened in the past few months.It was after sunset that I reluctantly left.Before I left, I met Brad again at the bottom of the hill.He looked exhausted and a little disheveled.I heard that the Coleman family had utterly given up on him.After all, he was only a trust-fund kid who was addicted to drinking and gambling. He was of no use to his family at all."Leah." He stared at me and took a few steps forward. Suddenly, he thought of something and stopped in his tracks."May I help you, Mr. Coleman?" I looked at him indifferently, but I was sighing deep down.I was reminded of how spirited he was and of the luxurious life he had led.He was always surrounded by people who fawned over him.At that moment, however, he was all alone

I listened to James without saying a word, but I did not stop applying the ointment to his wounds."Leah?"He had to call me a few times before I looked up.I saw my reflection in his clear gaze.James reached out and caressed my cheeks gently and with love.I pushed him away, and my hands shook uncontrollably. "You put yourself in danger. What if they killed you as soon as you fell into their hands? Have you ever thought about that?"He hugged me and pecked my cheek gently. Then, he muttered, "I'm sorry. My only regret was that I didn't think it through and put you in danger. I would never do it again. I'll discuss everything with you in advance from now on, alright?"For some reason, I felt a strong urge to cry. Tears that I was holding back suddenly started rolling down my cheeks.The more gentle he sounded, the harder I cried. It was as if I was trying to dry up a lifetime of tears with this cry.I threw myself into James' arms, grabbing the folds of his shirt with all my

Ten minutes later, there was a commotion outside the door.I held a wooden stick tightly and subconsciously shielded James behind me. I was getting more and more nervous as well.The door opened, and five men walked in. One held a machete, while the other four had baseball bats. Soon, they found James and me hiding in the corner.As soon as the door opened, James put his back against the wall and leaned on me.I knew he was deliberately pretending to be disabled, trying to make those men let their guard down. Therefore, I played along with him.Sure enough, those men started laughing at him. "This crippled man is so useless. Look at him. He can't even stand up. He needs a woman to protect him.""What a loser."The leader stared right at me. He handed his machete to the subordinate and said to James, "You're a cripple, yet you have such a beautiful wife. I'm sure you can do nothing but look at her. Why don't you let us have fun with her instead?"The man extended his hand, tryin

James woke me up.My head still hurt after I barely regained consciousness."Leah, are you feeling better?" he asked.I looked at him in a daze and asked subconsciously, "What about you? Are you hurt anywhere?"I was anxious because he could not move his legs. I started to scan his body from top to bottom.His suit jacket was nowhere to be found. His shirt was messy and had a few buttons missing.His watch was gone. His hair, which had always been neat, was slightly messy."I'm fine. I'm not hurt. Don't worry. I have a tracker on me. Someone will come looking for us in an hour tops. Don't be afraid. I'm here."James was still able to remain calm, even when we were in a situation like that. However, it was without a doubt that his composure soothed my nerves.I forced myself to sit up and observe the surroundings.We were in an abandoned warehouse. It was empty and shabby. There were some small rusty accessories and wooden scraps on the ground.I could hear faint voices outsi

By the time I heard about Walter again, a month had passed.His company, which had long been on the verge of crumbling, had finally closed down half a month ago.Immediately after that, he found out that my stepmother had been sleeping with other men behind his back for a long time.Walter was so angry that he had a stroke. He had no choice but to live out the rest of his life on the bed.Finally, Walter and the Young family could no longer threaten me with disgusting acts.I felt relaxed after I heard about the news.At the same time, James had come home to pick me up for dinner.However, halfway through the drive, I felt something was off. A strange smell in the car made me feel a little nauseated.I frowned and turned to look at James. Simultaneously, he turned and looked at me as well.We immediately understood what we had in mind when we locked eyes.I held my breath and pressed the button to wind the car window down.As expected, the window was locked. There was no way

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. My siblings' school break was coming to an end.During their time in Clason City, James had asked them about their future plans and hired the relevant tutors. Their lessons were jam-packed. It was tiring, but they learned a lot.Before they left, they thanked James in person, giving him a gift each.After I sent my siblings off at the airport, I pushed James to the parking lot and saw Brad there.Brad stood behind a pillar and was wearing a hat. He was a little thinner than the last time I saw him, and he was no longer as spirited as he used to be.As he had stolen a project from James' company, James took revenge on him as soon as he could.The Coleman family's company suffered a terrible loss, and Brad was dismissed.The discord between him and his parents gradually grew more expansive, and they started focusing on their youngest son.However, Brad had brought it onto himself.I did not pity him at all.Brad tried to come closer a

After he took care of matters at the company, we immediately went on a trip. James spent half a month with me on the trip, enjoying ourselves to our hearts' content.Unexpectedly, as soon as we came home from the trip, that particular founding member of the company came to our door, condemning James for being merciless.It did not take long for the younger members of the Blackwell family to persuade him to go home, but I still felt a little uneasy.Thinking of that man's resentful gaze before he left, I felt worried and asked, "Would he seek revenge on you?""Don't worry." James smiled at me to comfort me. "I know what I'm doing."He seemed calm and not worried at all. It was only then I gradually started to feel at ease.On the day of my late mother's death anniversary, James brought me and my siblings back to the capital. He stayed there with me for three more days before we returned home.It so happened that his parents had just returned from their trip and would stay in Clas
How Deep Is Your Love Chapter 23
I received a call from my best friend. She said Brad had stolen a project from the Blackwell family. That was why the Blackwell family's company had a rough time lately.I thought of how James had been working unusually late recently, but I was skeptical.Brad and James were elites among their peers, but Brad's ability was not comparable to James'. On top of that, the Blackwell family was far more powerful than the Coleman family.I did not believe that Brad's actions would impact James.However, I became unsure again after I heard what my best friend said next.Rumour had it that Brad had found a flaw in the operations of the Blackwell family's company. He then used the public's opinion to create a stir, causing the price of the company's shares to be affected.Other than Brad, one of the company's founding members was also at odds with James. He then took the chance to backstab James.I felt like a rock was on my chest after I hung up the call. My chest was not hurting, but my
