I wrapped my arms around his neck, took out my phone, and snapped a photo while planting a kiss on his cheek.At the moment of the kiss, Raleigh's pupils slightly contracted."I have to post this on my social media, or else you might disappear on me."Before Raleigh could react, I swiftly posted the picture and then casually opened the food container he brought. A fragrant aroma filled the air as steam rose from the dishes.I noticed they were all my favorite dishes from university - braised fish, meatballs, along with various meats and vegetables, all beautifully arranged. I glanced at the other thermos and found it contained pumpkin soup.As I looked at the dishes, I felt a brief surge of emotion, but it soon faded, and I regained my composure.My mom looked at me happily enjoying the food, then at Raleigh with a grateful expression. "You're so thoughtful, Raleigh. We were just about to ask Stella what she would like to eat, and you brought the food for her.""It's no trouble, Mrs.
My gaze remained indifferent as if he were still a stranger to me."Mr. Reed, that's enough. Stop harassing me. I only have one boyfriend, and that is Raleigh. I love him very much and want no one else but him," I advised softly.Justin's eyes turned bloodshot with anger, and he raised his hand as if to hit me.Perhaps out of fear of my parents, he withdrew his hand, gave Raleigh a fierce glare, then turned and drove towards the hospital.As soon as he left, I immediately turned to Raleigh, touched his neck with concern, and asked, "Did that madman hurt you just now?"The cool touch made Raleigh pause for a moment, ripples appearing in the depths of his eyes, but it was only for an instant."I have work to do at the company. I have to go."After uttering these words, he quickly said farewell to my parents and dashed away so quickly that he disappeared from view in an instant.I watched his flustered figure and chuckled lightly.Did Raleigh's ears turn red just now?Three days later.I
Jasmine exuded a cool and gentle demeanor, unlike Stella's more petty and calculating nature."Sorry, Mr. Reed, but I don't really know you, and I don't care who you bring or want to bring along as your companion. It's none of my business," I stated firmly, giving Jasmine a quick glance before returning my attention to him. "But if you continue to harass me, I will call the police.""Stella, I'm your boyfriend!" Justin frowned.I gave him a cold glance and turned to Raleigh, who was approaching me. "Sorry, my boyfriend just arrived."I walked up to Raleigh and confidently took his arm. "Raleigh, where have you been? I've been waiting for you," I said with my head tilted, smiling at his extraordinarily handsome face.Raleigh looked at Justin for a moment, about to answer my question, but then a group of executives surrounded us, looking at me with confusion. "Mr. Landon, we rarely see you attending an event with a female companion. This lady here looks familiar.""She's an employee of m
In the office, Raleigh heard the commotion and glanced up at Justin, who was furious. Then, he calmly finished signing the last document.Justin was completely enraged by Raleigh's calm demeanor. He slammed his fist on Raleigh's desk, causing things on it to shake. "Raleigh, you're quite cunning. Not only did you pretend to be me to get close to Stella, but now you've also hired her into your company. What's your intention?!"Justin ranted angrily, but Raleigh's expression remained unchanged, fueling Justin's fury even more. "Give her back to me! You thief!” Justin believed that Raleigh had stolen Stella and her love for him."I'm sorry, but I can't do that," Raleigh's voice was calm, yet his gaze was sharp as a hawk's.Justin chuckled angrily, grabbing Raleigh's collar. "Stella belongs to me! Just because she's with you now doesn't mean she's yours forever!""Stella is her own person. I can't make her do anything against her will."Raleigh remained steadfast and he didn't retaliat
After Justin left Landon Group, he went straight to Jasmine's school.Upon seeing Justin's bleeding arm outside the car, Jasmine hesitated for a moment, but she decided to get in after observing his stable mood."Don’t you find Stella stupid? Why doesn't she remember me and even dare to wield a knife against me?" Justin thought about the recent scene, feeling frustrated, and pounded the steering wheel a few times.Upon hearing Justin's words, Jasmine understood the situation."Maybe Miss Stella isn’t really in love with you? No one will forget the one they love,” Jasmine replied, lightly placing her hand on his thigh, her gaze showing some sympathy. "If it were me, I wouldn't forget my loved one, and I wouldn't resort to violence against them."Justin was deeply moved by Jasmine's words.Jasmine was young, beautiful, and so innocent, truly a thousand times better than Stella.He leaned in slowly, but this time Jasmine didn't evade; instead, she comforted Justin with her presence.Jus
I hesitated for a moment, lips parting slightly as I was about to speak, but Raleigh interrupted me."While shopping, I saw a necklace that I thought looked nice, so I bought it for you," he said, taking it out of the box and carefully putting it around my neck without waiting for my response.His movements were slow and cautious as if he were afraid I might refuse. I had seen his decisive demeanor at work, and he rarely smiled, so this sudden caution felt a bit strange to me. However, he often did things like this.He'd drop by the hospital, treat me to meals and flowers, and then, just as casually, he got me a necklace."It's very beautiful. I really like it," I said, picking up the necklace and smiling at him.Seeing his serious expression, I sat him down on a bench and held his hand. His dark eyes were fixed on mine as he whispered, " Have you ever thought about the possibility that I'm speaking the truth?"My smile faltered for a moment as I looked up at the slightly darkening s
"Stella, you shouldn’t do something that you’d regret!” Justin yelled from outside the door.I remained silent.Justin didn't stay long either. He returned to the villa and, upon entering, angrily kicked over the table, making enough noise to startle Jasmine, who was applying a face mask inside.She hurried out, seeing Justin sitting on the couch with a frustrated expression. "What's wrong?" she asked cautiously."Stella said she wants to marry Raleigh, but she should be marrying me! Do you think she'll never remember me?" Justin's heart clenched with pain at the thought of Stella's disgusted look moments ago.Stella had never treated him like this before!Jasmine frowned at his words, but still forced a reply, "How is that possible? Didn't the doctor say she would remember eventually?“But I saw Stella and Raleigh together, they seemed really happy. One of my classmates saw them at the amusement park, they looked just like a real couple."As she spoke, Justin suddenly remembered Ste
"Mr. Reed, looking at Miss Wright's condition, you might need to spend more time with her, and take her to places you've been before. It might help her remember you," the doctor said."You’re useless! And to think you call yourself the best neurologist in the country. If Stella can't remember me, you can forget about keeping your reputation!" Justin shoved the doctor aside, scolded him, and then left.However, before Justin could put his plan into action, his father found the villa where he and Jasmine were living.Justin was holding Jasmine, drowning his sorrows in alcohol. When he saw his father, he stood up in fright, trembling as he spoke, "Dad, how did you..."Slap—Austin Reed had slapped Justin so hard that it rendered Justin speechless."I was wondering why Stella resigned to go to the Landon Group. It turns out you are having an affair! You bastard! Are you trying to ruin me?! Do you have any idea how important Stella is to our company!" Austin seethed with rage, his whole bod
