He leaned in closer in the dark. Even though she could not see clearly, she could sense that he was reaching out his arm. Just as she was about to move and push him away…

Snap!

He held onto the doorknob located next to her and pulled on it twice. The door made noises, but he could not open it.

"Something got the door stuck from the outside," he said, his voice sounding exceptionally heavenly in the dark.

'So he was trying to check on the door,' she thought, feeling relieved. Her face burnt even hotter. "I thought he was going to do something!"

Carson went to the light switch, but it would not turn on.

Through the cold moonlight that came in from the window, Everly slowly began to get used to the darkness and found her vision through the faint light. She saw him going around the meeting table to make a call, but his phone was not working.

"Why aren't you answering?" She observed it all and asked, "Why are you here? Or could it be that you are the one who arranged all this?"

    "You don't know?" Everly could not find it in her heart to believe in such coincidence and glared at him, red-eyed. "You have been repeating that same sentence all these years. Carson Baxter, you turned a blind eye to things back then, and you continue to do so in the present! Do you think of me as some fool?"She pursed her lips and pointed to the sky outside. "Then what's with those fireworks just now? This is the city area, and without a special permit, no fireworks would be allowed here in Cinnesvile next to the Baxter building. You are the only one who can pull that off! Besides, isn't it too much of a coincidence that the firework started right after I was locked inside here? Carson Baxter, what on earth are you trying to do?"Everly stared at his side profile through the moonlight, her eyes almost a crimson red. So many years had passed, and he remained the same.He locked her inside the house back then, forcing her to admit to her crime and apologize to the Whites. In the pr

    Carson stood with his back facing the moonlight and the sadness in his eyes was concealed by the shadow that loomed over his face.Everly's shadow stretched under the moonlight as she lost her composure. All the things she had been refraining from saying had finally all come spilling out.Before Carson could respond, she turned to find a corner to sit for the night. However, before she could walk off, her arm was grabbed, and she was pulled into his arms.It was him."Let me go!" Everly struggled and punched at him. However, none of that seemed to work as he held onto her tightly, as though he was trying to merge her into his body. She pinched on his flesh, twisting and turning, and even resorted to biting him on the chest, but he still refused to let go.Furious, she roared, "Carson Baxter, what on earth are you doing? Let go of me! Don't think that you can simply do anything you want because we are alone here! Let me tell you something, I-""I'm sorry." Unlike the agitation in

    "Uncle Robbie, I think it's best that we don't open the door," Oliver deadpanned, looking ever so adorable with his chubby little face."Why?" Intrigued, Robbie asked."First of all, the surprise tonight was meant for dad and mom. You and I are both just assisting it. When we realized that they had disappeared and came to check on the surveillance cameras, we found them locked inside the meeting room arguing, but instead of opening the door to stop them, we stayed here watching the show!" Oliver looked up and stared at Robbie. "Say, I will be fine when mom finds out about this, but you won't be, Uncle Robbie. Besides, mom would then doubt dad's intention, and such a great thing would turn sour!"Robbie thought that Oliver made perfect sense. However…He gave Oliver an odd look and said, "But you were the one who said to keep them locked inside and not to open the door."Oliver lowered his head guiltily. "I'm doing this for their own goods. They haven't been able to make much progr

    "Of course, I'm the wisest!" Alice said smugly.She might alert someone if she shut the lights of the entire building, but there would be no effect to surveillance, elevator, or emergency alarm if she only turned off the power supply for that floor. There were only Violet's studio and Davidson Group's office on that floor, with a few others scattered around the place. She checked and saw that there was no one left so that she would be suspected."There's one thing I don't understand, though. May I ask something, Miss?" Tracey asked with a smile."Alright." Alice was in a great mood, and she could almost agree to everything."Why didn't we go earlier to open the door and wait until it's office hour?" Tracey asked in a confused tone, "Wouldn't that raise suspicion? Besides, we said that we need to make Mister Baxter think Violet is bailing on him on purpose, but now she would have an excuse for her absence.""The truth is, even if we let Violet out early, she could still guess what

    Everyone was stunned. They had all been curious about what was hidden behind the closed door, but to find two people locked inside…'It's Violet and Mister Baxter, no less! Have we seen something we aren't supposed to see?' they thought.Instantly, everyone was gossiping.Inside the meeting room, Everly slowly opened her eyes at all the noises. Her vision was blurred at first, and she could only see the sunlight shining down directly onto her face. She narrowed her eyes by reflex to move away, and when she got up to turn around, she sensed something different.It felt as though she was leaning onto someone. She snapped her head up and saw him.Carson Baxter.He was leaning against the wall, and the sun shone down upon his ruffled hair. He seemed to have only woken up as well. He frowned and his sharp eyes were hidden under his long lashes. From where she was, his side profile looked absolutely breath-taking!'Oh god! What's going on?' She thought and immediately sat up.

    Everyone standing outside had left and inside the meeting room. Everly had pushed Carson off and repositioned herself.Carson picked the coat off the floor and frowned at her. "You don't look well. Take some rest today. It's going to be the holidays soon. Just take leave until then."Everly pursed her lips. She refused to look at him and straightaway headed for the door.Annie had already been informed and was waiting outside by the door, while Carson stood still and watched as she left. None of them paid Alice any mind."You! You!" Frustrated, large drops of tears scrolled down Alice's cheeks as she said, "How could you do something like this? What on earth have you two done here last night?"Carson ignored her and picked the coat up."Carson! Answer me! You two… Did you…" She asked in tears, "Did that bitch Violet seduce you?"Carson dusted his coat and cast her a cold look. "You were the one who locked her in here last night!""No… It wasn't me!" Alice immediately lied."I

    Annie was slightly confused as to what Everly was saying. She simply tugged Everly in and took the food she brought with her to keep warm so that Everly could have them when she woke up.Everly was dreaming again. She dreamt of that night when the electricity was cut out in Baxter's residence years ago. Everyone went out to visit the relatives, and she was left to stay at home. Back then, she collapsed by the porch in the dark, waiting for someone to open the door. There was no telling the time in the dark, and she did not know how long she had waited, but in the end, the door was finally opened.Following the light that came shining through, she heard someone panting. It was the worried man who hurried back."Everly!""Big Brother!" Consumed by fear, she could not think of whether it was appropriate to touch the man before her and threw herself into his arms in tears. "I'm scared. Don't go, don't leave me alone!"Perhaps it was because he rushed back. His heart was beating like a

    Following the sound of someone in heels approaching, someone shook Everly back and forth."Everly!"She heard a familiar voice and looked up to find Annie by her side."Eve- Violet, how are you? What happened?" Annie asked worriedly.Everly was about to shake her head when she heard another set of heels approaching, followed by another person's entry into her office."Violet!" Alice shouted sharply."Miss Davidson, Violet is tired right now. Please get out!" Annie immediately went over to stop Alice and was shoved aside by her."You knew!" Alice pointed at Everly and screamed, "You knew Brother Carson was in that office and pretended that you didn't so that I would lock you in with him! This is your scheme!"Everly's head hurt badly. The feeling she felt earlier lingered, and she was still stuck within it with no escape."Alice Davidson! What exactly are you doing?" Annie couldn't stand it anymore and came over to pull Alice aside. "So it was you! I wondered why Violet didn't

    Everly wondered, 'Why does he look so pitiful? Is he going to ask me to be with me as he did before?'Meanwhile, Carson moved his eyes from her to the sunset on the horizon and said, "It's late."She looked across at the sea and the sky. The glorious declining sun gilded the sky.The salty sea wind swept over them.They gazed at the sunset until the fish suddenly struggled and startled Everly.It had been quietly staying in her hand for a while. She had forgotten that she was holding the fish. Thus, she subconsciously let go of the fish and shook Carson's hands off.The fish flopped back into the water and waved its tail to flee away."Oh, no. The fish has escaped. Dad, hurry up and catch it!" Oliver yelled. He had been squatting on the side so as not to disturb his parents. Carson and Oliver then chased after the fish.Everly slowly got up and stood there. The father and the son in white T-shirts were surrounding the big puddle. Everly felt strange while watching them.She wa

    She was a little embarrassed. After all, they hadn't been so close to each other for a long time. She felt a bit uncomfortable.So, she found a random topic. "Oliver still hasn't come back?""Maybe he couldn't find the bucket," he said, his chest vibrating. Not knowing how to pick up the conversation, she just looked at him. "Put the fish down," he said again after about three seconds. "But it will slip away," she blurted out. He paused, nodded, and hummed.Actually, she could place it somewhere dry rather than in the water... Then it couldn't slip away...She found herself so stupid. But she couldn't take back her words...She wondered, bit the bullet, and awkwardly held the fish. Should she say anything to defuse the awkward situation?She thought for a moment and asked, "What's your plan? I mean your career.""I haven't laid it out yet," he replied frankly. "I've been working for too long, and it's time to take a break. In the past, I didn't have time to hang

    Everly immediately put the crab into the small bucket.At this time, the bucket was filled with many crabs. Oliver looked inside and wore a bright smile."Wow! We got a lot of crabs today! My bucket is almost full!" Oliver said and looked back. When he saw the bucket in his dad's hand, Oliver took it and dumped all the crabs inside his own bucket into it. He then pushed it to Everly and said, "Wow. Aunt Violet caught so many crabs today. You are awesome!"Everly froze. She looked at Oliver's smiling face and understood what he meant.Oliver wanted her to take all the credit for catching those crabs."Oliver...""Aunt Violet! Look over there. There are bubbles coming out of that small hole. Let's go over there. There must be something in there!" As he said, Oliver carried his bucket and a small shovel and trotted over in his slippers. He ran to the hole and exclaimed, "Aunt Violet, come on! It is a big fish!""Go ahead. He likes playing with you," Carson said to Everly when she w

    "How do you know if they have contact in private?" The man asked as their car was waiting for a green light. The man's consecutive retorts annoyed Lisa. She looked in the rearview mirror at the man with chill eyes. "What do you mean? Are you trying to deliberately piss me off?" "No." The man replied. Then he paused for a few seconds and changed the subject. "So what are you going to do next?" 'Let Everly crash down to the hell!' During these days all their tactics were covert. They only took some subtle moves to test Carson, to see what was in Carson's mind. Now that Lisa had learned about it, then the next step she was up to was to put Everly through hell! "What's going on with Violet's studio now?" Lisa asked. "According to the information we got, it won't be long before Violet Studio and Baxter Group's collaboration on 'The Angel' is finished." The man replied. Before Lisa was about to respond, suddenly, her phone vibrated. Buzz--Lisa picked up her phone to check t

    Everly, Carson, and Oliver were playing on the beach. Meanwhile, Lisa came out of her villa to a car and talked to someone on the phone.She got into the passenger seat, smiled at the man in the driver's seat, and said, "I've just heard that the opposition faction of the Baxter Group changed their minds. They want to get Carson back."The man started the car without speaking. Lisa made up her face, smiled contentedly while looking into the mirror at her delicate figures, and continued, "I knew that the Baxter Group couldn't do well without Carson and that they would give in!"The car's tires squealed.The man suddenly braked."What are you doing?" Lisa growled at the man with a frown, hurriedly grabbing something to steady herself."Lisa, what the hell do you want?" the man said resignedly, "didn't you say that you just wanted to help your family out of trouble? I don't understand what you're thinking. Do you love Carson? Are you proud of him?""What's the problem with this?"

    While waving at her, Oliver murmured and walked in with Carson.Everly nodded with a smile. With the clothes in her hand, she got into the car and changed her clothes.The clothes were very simple, which were just a big white T-shirt and a pair of casual shorts. Looking at the clothes, she couldn't help wondering what Carson and Oliver would wear.She walked out, with her mind wandering. She saw Carson and Oliver not far away, both of whom were wearing a white vest and a pair of shorts to their knees. The color and style of their clothes were the same, except for the size.They two seemed to be talking about something, with buckets in their hands. Carson held a big bucket while Oliver held a small one. There was another bucket on the ground, obviously prepared for Everly.Noticing her coming, Oliver turned around and looked at her. "Aunt Violet!"Carson also looked up at her.Her heart was thumping faster inexplicably.‘He seems to be closer to me these days.’Maybe it was bec

    The shopkeeper felt embarrassed. He looked at Oliver and replied, "What? I couldn’t do that. Don’t talk nonsense."Oliver pouted and didn’t say anything. Carson patted his head and then looked at the shopkeeper.The shopkeeper already understood his meaning. So then he handed three sets of clothes to Everly and Carson, "You can rinse over there.""Thank you." Everly nodded, then they went there together.After lifting the curtain of the outdoor shower, Carson and Oliver both frowned slightly and looked at her at the same time.Everly was a little confused, so she asked, "What’s wrong?""You can change the clothes in the car." Carson opened his mouth.Oliver nodded and explained, "Right, Aunt Violet. This place has some leaks. It’s okay for me and dad, but it's not okay for you, and there’s no mud on you. It's just me falling into the mud puddle."Everly looked at him and then at Oliver, understanding what they meant.She nodded and pinched Oliver's face with a smile, "Okay,

    She immediately quickened her pace to rush over and snatched Oliver from Carson's hand."Hmm..."Before Oliver jumped into her arms and complained to her, Carson's cold voice sounded, "Stop. You're covered in mud."Oliver stopped immediately, looking down at himself, then he glared at Carson. Just a few seconds later, he sat down on a small rock and pointed to the big mud puddle beside him. "Aunt Violet, I just fell into it."Everly glanced in the direction that Oliver pointed to. There was indeed a mud puddle and a human shape was still there. Oliver's father just wiped his face. Otherwise, he could not be recognized.Looking at him sitting on that small rock and his aggrieved look, Everly thought he was so cute and couldn’t help laughing out loud, "Puff..."Hearing her laugh, Oliver turned his head. Everly immediately tried to hold back her laughter, but she failed."Ah! Aunt Violet, you laughed!” Oliver directly came down from the rock, sat in the mud, and childishly showed

    Yet the meeting room was quiet. No one spoke.If there had been a way to settle the matter, they would have dealt with it many days ago.And if they gave advice but failed in the end, they might have to take the blame."Why do you all keep silent? Didn't you have a lot of ideas at the very beginning?" the leader roared, slapping the table.However, no one answered.After a minute, someone trembled and said, "Then ... shall we find Carson and make him the president again?""What are you talking about?" The leader was even angrier.But another person said, "I think he's right. The share price is falling. We have less and less money. If it goes on like this, none of us can stand it. We'd better get Carson back... When he managed the company, the share price was rising.""You're looking down on yourself and flattering Carson!" the leader growled, "and the share price is falling.
