Tyler's gaze fell upon Jean as he spoke. When he saw Jean in a black lace nightgown, his expression changed without him meaning it to.Jean had been getting good sleep recently, and her body had become fuller. Instead of appearing fragile like before, she seemed curvier now.Tyler nervously swallowed as he glanced at her.Meanwhile, Jean felt awkward and kept tugging at her gown.But the neckline went down with each tug, making Tyler visibly uneasy.Tyler went over to Jean and helped her fix her nightgown.With an awkward smile, she asked, "Do you have any other pajamas? I don't feel quite comfortable in this one.""It's good as long as I'm comfortable looking at you in it," Tyler replied casually.Blushing, Jean said, "I'm not dressing up for you, okay?"Tyler chuckled as he responded, "It's just us here. Who else will you dress up for if not me?"Jean pursed her lips. Figuring she couldn't outtalk Tyler, she chose to stay quiet.Tyler beckoned to her in a cheerful mood
A sudden realization hit Jean, and her face turned all red.Neither of them slept well that night.The next morning, Jean wasn't feeling her best when she woke up. She had been somewhat tense during the night.When Tyler saw Jean woke up, he hugged her and said, "No need to be up so early."Jean pursed her lips and replied, "It's just my second day back. Oversleeping isn't good."Approaching Tyler, she planted a soft kiss on his cheek. "You rest a little more," Jean said.Her kiss was shy yet initiative. Noticing her blush, Tyler couldn't help but grin.Drawing her closer, he deepened the kiss.Jean could feel her heart racing.After a while, Tyler released her. He tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear and said, "I'll be downstairs in a moment."Blushing intensely, Jean nodded and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.Looking at her rosy cheeks in the mirror, she felt a different kind of feeling. She lightly patted her cheeks and couldn't help but feel shy.After fres
Jean walked into the dining room for breakfast. Soon, Tyler came down from upstairs.The weather was lovely today. It was just perfect for an outing.Judy had been longing to visit Mt. Serenia again, and Coleen had started preparing early in the morning.Tyler joined Jean at her side. "Let's go to Mt. Serenia with Grandma later."Jean blushed a bit at Tyler's calm presence beside her. "Sure," she replied, shyly lowering her head.Tyler moved closer and asked with a grin, "You know what you look like right now?"With a puzzled expression, Jean asked, "Like what?""You look like a newlywed bride I just brought home," Tyler replied.His words made Jean blush even more. "You always enjoy teasing me," she said.Tyler smiled cheerfully. "Okay, no more teasing."Coleen walked by and noticed the happy exchange between them. It was something she hadn't seen before.Their joyous interaction lifted Coleen's mood considerably. …After finishing breakfast, Jean and Tyler left the di
Tyler spoke from the heart, and Jean listened with all her attention. Her emotions swelled up quickly.After Judy ended her meditation, Coleen went to get a charm for Jean.When she met Jean, she gently placed the charm into Jean's hand.The sight of the charm momentarily left Jean in awe, but a warm smile soon lit up her face as she said, "Thanks, Mom."In the Larson family, Jean experienced a newfound warmth that touched her deeply.As Jean's eyes welled up, Coleen said, "You've been through so much in these past few years. May your future be filled with peace and safety, Jean."Jean nodded appreciatively.While charms lacked any mystical powers, they offered solace to the heart."Tyler got one for me too," Jean added.Coleen raised an eyebrow, then smiled and said, "Tyler has matured. He used to be less attentive, but he's finally learned now."Jean smiled in agreement.Returning to the familiar surroundings seemed to heighten Jean's curiosity about her past.As they mad
When Jean heard that Dorian and Helen were about to return to the country, confusion washed over her."Aren't we supposed to be heading to Faulkland?" Jean asked.Her concern was apparent as her thoughts revolved around Tyler's well-being.Tyler gently ran his fingers through her hair. "If you ever want to visit Faulkland in the future, we can still go and spend time there occasionally," he suggested in a soft tone."What about your health? Won't you need regular check-ups?" Jean asked. Tyler sensed her uneasiness and met her gaze with a comforting smile. "Don't worry about my health. The medical team will accompany us here."Jean took a moment to register Tyler's words.She suddenly recalled the significance of his family's background. His family was anything but ordinary in terms of financial capabilities."That's a relief, then," Jean replied.They were immune to the typical worries that might trouble an average family.Anyway, the news of Dorian and Helen's return brough
Tyler quickly took Jean upstairs. He brought her into the master bedroom. The layout of the bedroom was similar to the one in Faulkland. Looking at the familiar surroundings, Jean couldn't help but feel a deep sense of relief. She didn't need to think to know that this was definitely arranged by Tyler. Even the sofa bed he chose was the same style as before. Initially, Jean thought she would have to sleep alone after returning to Teak Villa. It even took her a while for it to sink into her mind. But she didn't expect Tyler to have considered her emotions in this matter. "This way, you won't feel nervous, right?" Tyler saw Jean standing at the door, looking pleasantly surprised. He smiled gently, held her hand, and walked her into the room. Jean pursed her lips and nodded earnestly. "Honey, you're the best." Seeing Jean's joyful expression, Tyler felt much more relaxed. Jean seemed to have been quite tense ever since she returned to Henkel, and
Hearing Tyler's affirmation, Jean was deeply moved, and she could feel her heart beating fast.She then softly said, "Me too. I've never felt so safe with you by my side." Her voice was gentle, tinged with a hint of embarrassment. Looking at Jean's shy expression, Tyler couldn't help but slightly curl his lips. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes. Jean had gotten used to expressing her feelings now, and it made Tyler very pleased. To witness such sincerity coming from Jean drew them closer. Perhaps even God took pity on them for what had happened between them and was now giving them another chance. The two of them left after breakfast. The household staff stood at the door to bid them farewell. "It seems that their relationship has gotten closer," Sophia spoke in a soft voice, her gaze fixed on the two figures that had just left. "After so many years, it's about time things turn for the better," she added. …Tyler and Jean arrived at Larson Group
Noticing that Jean was nervous, Tyler held her hand tightly and looked at her. "Not quite used to it?" Tyler asked softly. Jean nodded gently, her eyes showing a hint of uneasiness. Tyler's company was much larger in scale than she had imagined, so she couldn't help but feel nervous. He held her hand even tighter and spoke in a gentle tone, "It's alright, I'm here with you." Chris, who was standing quietly on the side, raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing Tyler's words. Perhaps it was because of Jean's influence, Tyler had seemed to take on a more gentle demeanor compared to before. Not only Tyler, but Jean also appeared significantly different from before. She had become more dependent on Tyler. The elevator door opened, and Tyler led Jean to his office. Seeing the luxurious interior of his office, Jean was stunned. She thought Tyler was just somewhat wealthy. Now, it seemed to her that he was not somewhat wealthy—he was extremely wealthy.
