"No need, it's already late. Go in and rest early," Jacob escorted Ruoya out of the car and glanced at the still-lit villa. Despite the late hour, they were still awake, but he didn't want to intrude."Jacob, drive safe," Ruoya didn't intend to pressure Jacob too hard.Jacob nodded in acknowledgment, "Alright, I understand. Go inside now." Ruoya tiptoed up and left a farewell kiss on Jacob's cheek.It was only after Ruoya disappeared into the villa that Jacob got back in his car and sped away. His black Mercedes didn't return to his own apartment, but instead stopped beneath Lizzie and Bruno's apartment. Looking at their almost completely dark building, he wondered if she had drunk too much, if her head ached, if she'd been sick, and whether Bruno had cared for her or simply left her alone. His mind was filled with uneasiness and worry.It wasn't until daybreak that Jacob finally drove away.Lizzie groggily opened her eyes, rubbing her throbbing temple. "Ugh, it hurts." She turned to
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 132: Remembering or Forgetting, It Doesn't Matter Anymore
Lizzie went to the dry cleaner to pick up the evening dress. She was supposed to return it to Louise, but it wouldn't be appropriate to bring it to school. So, Lizzie called Louise and arranged to have lunch together.In a small restaurant, Lizzie sat by the window, waiting for Louise's arrival. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her sight."Jacob, what are you doing here?" Lizzie looked at Jacob in surprise.Jacob smiled, "Can I sit here?" Lizzie nodded."Lizzie, don't you remember? We used to come here for meals before," Jacob sighed. How could she forget even this? If it wasn't for his sudden idea of having lunch, they wouldn't have bumped into each other."Oh, right," Lizzie suddenly recalled. "But that's all in the past. Remembering or forgetting, it doesn't matter anymore.""Yeah, it's in the past," Jacob sighed. Seeing that Lizzie hadn't ordered yet, he asked, "Are you waiting for someone?""I'm waiting for Louise," Lizzie replied. Just as she finished speaking, she saw Louise gett
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 133: Should I Accept with a Smile or Reject Coldly?
"Boss, you've been pretty good to your sister-in-law lately." Jepan said, driving the car, speaking to Bruno in the back seat.Bruno cast a glance at the bag beside him, lifting a thick eyebrow, "You're sticking your nose in too much.""Boss, I'm just concerned about you. And, of course, your sister-in-law." Jepan said with a grin."You seem to know too much." Bruno said indifferently, aware that even though Jepan was not often at the company, he was still attentive to these matters.Jepan chuckled, "Of course, I'm always interested in your affairs. And from my experience with countless women, your sister-in-law is far better than your lover.""Did Adeline upset you?" Bruno said with a smile. He knew that Jepan and Adeline didn't get along. One was his best friend, and the other was his lover, yet their relationship was strained."Boss, you know I don't squabble with women." Jepan said, pulling the car to a halt in front of a restaurant."A fondness for beautiful women can never go wr
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 134: Picturing the Hilarious Scene
Lizzie observed as Bruno hardly touched his food. "Can't you get used to it? Do you want me to prepare something else for you?" She had steeled herself to merely reheat the cold dishes, but upon seeing Bruno barely moving his chopsticks, her heart softened."No need," Bruno put down his chopsticks. "Finish your meal and clean up. Rest early." With that, he stood and left the dining room.Lizzie watched his retreating figure, then looked at the seat he had occupied. He had only eaten a bite or two of the rice. "How strange," she mused, "He was the one who wanted a midnight snack, but he hardly ate."When Lizzie finished cleaning up and returned to the bedroom, she saw Bruno already lying on the bed. She couldn't understand why he had started to share the large bed with her. Before, he used to spend every night in his study."Are you daydreaming? Do you want me to carry you to bed?" Bruno saw Lizzie standing there, lost in thought."No, no need," Lizzie quickly walked to the bed, took o

Lizzie glanced at him. He was visiting the orphanage only because of his business commitments, right? But why did he bring her along?Bruno turned to her, his gaze softening as he followed her attention to the children not far ahead."Go on. Don't stray too far. I'll come find you later," Bruno said, turning away to another building after speaking.As Lizzie approached, the children's eyes widened in curiosity.Among them, a little girl with two braids ran up to Lizzie. "Miss, you're so pretty! My name is Fu Xiaoxue. Like Brother Bruno, you can call me Xue. Miss, can you play with us?"Lizzie replied with a sweet smile, "Of course." Taking the little girl's hand, she headed towards the children."Miss, are you here with Brother Bruno?" The little girl asked as they walked."Yes," Lizzie nodded, "Does he come here often?"The little girl paused and looked up at Lizzie, nodding vigorously, "Mhm. But he usually comes with Sister Ye.""Oh." Sister Ye in Xiaoxue's words must be Adeline."B
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 136: Winning the Hearts of Many
Bruno fell into silence, his heart, did he truly comprehend?"Bruno, it's rare for you to bring her along today. Accompany her. Even if you two can’t be together forever, at least now, she’s still your wife." Xu Wan spoke to Bruno.She still remembered months ago when Bruno came to her, his face etched with distress, talking about not wanting to marry the heiress of the Jiang family. But she knew he had changed his mind later for revenge, to retaliate against Yelun’s ruthless abandonment of his mother years ago, leading to her eventual death due to illness. She didn't agree with his methods, yet she couldn’t stop him.Now, after meeting Lizzie only once, she could sense that she was a good girl, devoid of the usual arrogance and willfulness of a rich girl. Perhaps, she was the one meant for Bruno.But Bruno refused, "That won't be necessary. She would be more comfortable without me."Xu Wan didn't press further, she just watched as Bruno stood there.Lizzie walked around the rooms, th
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 137: It Doesn't Matter Much Anyway
Bruno shot her an intense glare. "Such a hassle," he muttered under his breath. He then scooped her up around the waist and headed towards the car parked not too far away."Hey! How am I a hassle? I didn’t ask you to carry me," protested Lizzie as she fidgeted in Bruno's arms."Do you think you can walk?" Bruno halted abruptly, locking his gaze on Lizzie."I...," Lizzie bit her lip, unable to deny that she was currently incapable of walking. The pain from her ankle was making her eyebrows furrow.Bruno softened his gaze and hesitated for a moment before continuing to carry her towards the car, carefully placing her in the passenger seat.Rubbing her ankle, Lizzie found that she was unable to alleviate the throbbing pain.But Bruno suddenly grasped her hand, asking, "Does it hurt a lot?""Uh, it's okay," Lizzie tried to retract her hand, but Bruno’s grip tightened around hers."You are so careless, not even looking where you’re going. Even if it hurts to death, it’s your own fault," Br
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 138 He's Pushing Lizzie
Jacob was sipping his coffee when he finally looked up at Lizzie, "Lizzie, I'm here to thank you."Lizzie, slightly shocked, raised her gaze from the fruit juice before her to meet his eyes, "Thank me?"Jacob replied, "Thanks to you, I managed to secure the new contract from the Lin family. I've been too busy recently and didn't have the chance to see you. Today, I've specially made time to meet you." Had he not been tied up with work, Jacob would have visited Lizzie sooner, trying to figure out if Bruno would target her after losing the multi-million dollar project.Lizzie rewarded him with a small smile, "Jacob, there's no need to thank me. I don't really understand business matters."Moreover, it was Bruno who had shown leniency."No, it has nothing to do with business." Jacob insisted, "It's because of you."Lizzie remained silent, looking down onto the table, unable to meet Jacob's intense gaze."Lizzie, would you like to join me for lunch?" Jacob's wishes and hopes were small, j
