Jean bit her lip as she felt a change in Tyler's body. She mumbled, "Why do you still have so much energy?"She looked a bit startled. After all, Tyler had just put in some serious work.Tyler couldn't help but grin at Jean's bewildered expression. His hands continued to scrub Jean's back."Ever heard of afterglow?" Tyler asked.Jean shook her head, signaling she hadn't. Yet, as Tyler's deep laughter echoed, she felt certain that whatever it was, it wasn't anything too proper.Tyler held Jean tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear, "You're my afterglow. That's why I never get tired with you around."She couldn't help but shudder involuntarily at his words, with goosebumps forming on parts of her skin that weren't covered in water."You're … too cheesy," she teased. She looked a bit shy. Yet, Tyler's cheesiness made her feel loved and cherished.He continued to hug her. After a brief pause, he spoke in a deep voice, "Stay put. Otherwise, I'll make you late for work." Sud
Jean cast a surprised glance at Tyler and asked, "Did you used to style other people's hair?"She wondered how he got so good at it.Jean tried many times earlier but couldn't get it right. Yet, Tyler finished it in no time.With her hair done up, she looked a lot more spirited. Tyler couldn't help but gaze at her a little longer. In a gentle tone, he said, "I've only done your hair."Jean was a bit moved by that.Looking at her, he murmured, "Let's head downstairs for breakfast."Jean gave a quick nod. Then, she remembered Dorian was coming home today."What time are Dorian and the others flying in?" Jean asked."7:00 pm. We can pick them up after work," Tyler replied.Jean nodded her head. She added with a smile, "Sounds good. We haven't been to Larson Residence in two days, so let's take Dorian along to visit his grandmother."Tyler nodded along. He put his arm around her shoulders as they went downstairs.The couple had been doing great lately. Sophia was happy seeing
Smiling, Tyler started being frank.Yet, Jean couldn't answer him. After all, it was something that was hard to talk about."You can't ask me about that anymore."Biting her lip, she blushed. She glared at Tyler and looked like she was getting angry.When the elevator door opened, Tyler's laughter sounded from it.Rowena was about to run errands outside and was waiting for the elevator.She was stunned when she saw Tyler walking out of the president's elevator with Jean.Rowena had been working at Larson Group for a long time. She had never heard Tyler laugh so uproariously.She looked at Tyler and Jean in surprise and couldn't help but start thinking.Lilian had been waiting at Larson Group for two days. It seemed that Tyler was still ignoring her.That meant Lilian was no longer useful to her. It looked like she couldn't blindly stand on Lilian's side anymore. While Rowena was thinking, the elevator door opened.She was about to walk inside when she saw Robin wa
Leaning over, Jean whispered to Robin, "Ms. Sage, how long have you liked Mr. Weiss?"Robin was stunned for a moment, and her face immediately turned red."Where did you hear about that?"Jean answered softly, "Yesterday, I saw that you started looking at Mr. Weiss as soon as you entered the private room. During the dinner, he also defended you. That's how I noticed that you like him."Robin looked at Jean with surprise.Even Jean had noticed that she liked Terence. Did the others also notice it?"Am I that obvious?"Robin patted her cheeks to calm herself down.Jean nodded seriously. "I think so. Maybe ..."While speaking, she hesitated. Then, she decided not to tell Robin that Terence and the others probably knew about her crush too.After all, if Terence knew that Robin liked him but was still indifferent to her, she would be sad."Maybe they didn't notice it. I noticed it because we're both women."Looking at Jean's smile, Robin relaxed a lot."Th
Jean couldn't imagine how much Robin's thoughts had changed over the years.After all, it was difficult to persist in one-sided love, but she persisted for five years.It must have been difficult for her during these years.Jean continued eating the desserts, but her mood was dampened following Robin's words.Robin turned around and saw that Jean was silent with a serious expression. She smiled slightly."Actually, I've already accepted it. I should've given up a long time ago, but I persisted for a long time. It's only natural that nothing came from it. Now that I've realized my mistake, I can stop my losses in time."Jean nodded in agreement. "You're right. Stop the loss in time." ... Tyler glanced at Jean's workstation after he was done dealing with a document, but she wasn't there.She was sitting there just now but was absent now.Tyler immediately put down his work to go look for her.He heard Jean's voice coming from Robin's office and walked over.She w
Jean pursed her lips immediately. "Do you think my desserts are awful?" asked Jean. Seeing she was upset, Tyler couldn't help but smile as he pulled her onto his lap. "I'm worried that you might hurt yourself. I'm trying my best to give you the best life. So, of course, I don't have the intention to let you do any housework." Jean was satisfied with Tyler's answer.She nodded solemnly.He sighed with relief seeing that Jean had given up the idea of making desserts.Just then, the phone in Jean's office rang.She immediately got up from Tyler's lap and walked outside to answer the phone. "Hello, this is the front desk for the president's office."On the other end of the phone, the receptionist's facial expression slightly changed upon hearing Jean's voice.She said in a careful tone, "Ms. Page has fainted at the front desk. May I please know how we should handle this situation?"Jean's gaze turned solemn when she heard that. "Take her to the hospital at once," she replied a
The fear Jean had made her feel very uncomfortable whenever she saw Lilian. Tyler hugged Jean tightly in his arms. He said in a deep voice, "I'll order them not to allow Lilian to enter Larson Group again. Does that make you feel better?"Jean froze for a moment. She lifted her head to look at Tyler. Tyler's expression was full of sincerity. Jean pursed her lips, feeling that it would be immature of her to pursue this matter. She nodded and agreed, "Okay."Upon Jean's agreement, Tyler stroked her head gently and said, "Lunchtime is coming soon. You probably won't be able to eat much after the dessert you just had."Pursing her lips, she smiled awkwardly. "It seems so. I'm not hungry at all."Indeed, she was not. She just had a small cake. However, that was not the case for Tyler. Because of his health condition, he needed to eat on time.His body had not fully recovered. It would be bad if he had issues with his stomach again before he fully recovered.…Lilian's express
Lilian became nervous when she heard that. "What … What's wrong with me?" Seeing her anxious expression, the doctor explained in a deep voice, "Your body's ability to produce blood cells has declined. Your health condition has relapsed."Lilian was stunned, her eyes slowly turning glassy. The medical staff continued solemnly, "We still need to conduct a thorough check-up to know the specifics." The medical staff helped her up from the floor and onto the bed. This time, she did not dare to move recklessly anymore. Even though her illness was severe at the beginning, she managed to pull through eventually because of Tyler.But now, Tyler had become close to Jean. He definitely would not help her again. She would also never get her hands on compatible umbilical cord blood anymore. Lilian was lying on the bed motionlessly. Then, the medical staff came to draw her blood for testing. She grabbed their hand and asked tremulously, "Am I going to die?" She should have di
