"It's me," Sebastian said.Madison froze upon hearing his voice. She wondered if she was too on edge and thought she might be hearing things.But then he spoke again. "Don't be scared, Madison. It's me, Sebastian. Open the door."When she realized it was him, she flung the door open. Their eyes met—
No one expected Mason, who was always in good health, to suddenly have a stroke. Madison now had no choice but to return to her hometown.Sebastian knew that her avoiding him was just an unintended result of the situation. He couldn't bring himself to push her too hard—if he did, she would probably
Sebastian stayed at the Hill residence that evening, as the guest room was already prepared.While Madison packed some clean clothes, he made two phone calls in the living room. She wasn't paying much attention but caught snippets of the conversation."Okay… I'll leave it to you. Help me make the ar
Samson continued, "Let's talk about you and Madison. After all, handling difficult tenants as a woman might put you at a disadvantage!"Audrey insisted, "We live in a society that's governed by the rule of law. What disadvantages will we face? What could those tenants possibly do to us?"Samson said
As soon as Sebastian's words fell into the ward, Audrey and Madison were both taken aback, while Mason's cousins exchanged bewildered glances. "F-Fiancé?" Audrey stammered, her lips trembling. Sebastian's smile grew wider. He was the calmest person in the room at that moment. He explained, "Yes,
Samson's eyes darted around. "Noah, is this for real? Would someone powerful like him really fancy Madison?" he whispered. Francis' expression turned dark. "Could he be a fraud? Did Mason hire him to fool us?" he thought.As for Noah, his eyebrows were furrowed tightly as he scrutinized Sebastian f
Madison froze for a moment upon hearing this. She turned to Sebastian with a questioning look. "Did you really hire actors?"Sebastian chuckled. "Try getting someone to pose as the hospital director and doctors in a hospital during ward rounds. They would probably be thrown out before the show even
Madison was dumbfounded. Even Audrey couldn't hide her surprise. Only Sebastian appeared calm, although his palms were secretly sweating.The hospital staff worked efficiently. By noon, Mason was transferred to the VIP ward. Audrey couldn't help but marvel, "This isn't our first time at Harrington
After returning from the Garrison estate, Miranda finally learned that Paul had actually abandoned his work at the lab midway just to have dinner with her family."Dr. Jefferson, please come to the lab tomorrow to continue authorizing the access permissions." Esme's flat and emotionless voice came t
Paul had arrived quickly. During dinner, he had beaten Sam to it when he tried to sit next to Miranda. Sam had tried to take the seat on the opposite side, but Fiona had cut in and taken that seat before he could. …"So were you deliberately stalling him when you said the remote was broken before t
Aren couldn't understand it. "Why are you in such a rush? Sam has been single for quite some time, and you've never reacted this strongly before."Of all things, she wanted to set up a blind date."You… you're not sleepwalking, right?" Aren asked cautiously. Fiona turned to glare at him immediately
"Huh? Why didn't I hear Sam start his car? Has he left? Let me take a look…" Aren muttered as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and peered out. "I knew it! His car is still there. He didn't leave at all. Could his car be stuck in the snow? That doesn't make sense… It hasn't been snowing long
The night was dark and silent as the heavy snow fell. Inside the estate, Fiona glanced out the window. "Oh, it looks like it's snowing outside," she said. Sam remained indifferent as it snowed every year in Elgerson. To him.. Or rather, snow was nothing special to anyone who grew up in Elgerson.
Aren nodded. "That works too. Sam, you don't need to send them off then. Head home and rest early."Sam remained silent. Before long, a maid came in and reported, "Both boxes have been loaded into Dr. Jefferson's car."Paul bid farewell to the elderly couple. "Mr. and Mrs. Garrison Senior, we'll he
Miranda was completely unaware of what was happening at the chessboard. At that moment, she was sitting on the couch and watching a dating reality show with Fiona. Yes, a dating show. In Fiona's own words, she said, "I just love watching young people fall in love. If I happen to find a couple I li
Since Paul had arrived, Fiona invited everyone to head to the dining room. Sam caught up to him and said dryly, "Dr. Jefferson, you seem quite free today."Paul replied, "It's the end of the year, so both the college and the labs are starting their holiday break. Perhaps the only ones still busy at
Sam brought his laptop to the living room and sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table. The thick wool carpet and the warmth of the heater kept the winter chill at bay. He began working in an orderly manner. From the business department to branding, then over to finance and human resources… E
