Erin was taken aback; she’d never thought that he would care about her. Her tone softened as she replied, “It’s getting better. I’m almost fully recovered.”

He nodded, satisfied with her answer.

He patted the seat next to him. “Come here.”

“No thanks. If you have something you want to say, just say it.” Erin was starting to panic and even took two steps backward.

Chandler chuckled. “You seem scared of me.”

She sneered. “Right, it’s not like you look like a monster; why would I be afraid of you?”

Though she claimed that she wasn't afraid, she still didn't get any closer to him.

Chandler didn’t force her, either. He placed his coffee mug down and gave a sticky note that was on the table a light knock. “Find all the books that are on this list.”

He’d asked her to come up to look for books?

Chandler continued reading the news, so Erin slowly moved toward him and picked up the sticky note. She was surprised to see that a few of the books on the list were design books that she’d wa

    The meeting lasted for two hours.Erin went back to her office feeling awful. She had not only received criticism from her supervisor but also needed to work overtime to complete the 20 designs because of the lengthy meeting.Her hatred for Chandler grew deeper.Shortly after she went back to work, it was lunch time. Dana and the others came to invite her to eat together.“You guys go ahead. I won't have lunch today. I still have work to finish...“ Erin stared listlessly at the computer screen.Dana pulled her up. “Erin, do you think you’re a robot? How can you work without eating? Although we’re office workers and not manual laborers, our job has high mental demands! Besides, you just recovered from a cold. Do you want to get sick again by damaging your body like this?““Yeah, Erin. We know you're not in a good mood, but we've decided to treat you to a big meal. Eat to your heart's content, then come back to work!“ Even Milly, who was usually stingy, spoke up to invite her. Erin

    Erin was surprised. How did he know she was still in the office? Had he arranged for someone to spy on her? Was it Caleb?She decided to dismiss her thoughts. After all, she didn’t believe an upright person like Caleb would help Chandler spy on someone.She was too tired to resist. Chandler had her photos, and she couldn’t do anything to him.After leaving the office, she took the elevator to the president’s floor. She saw Chandler still working in front of the computer and asked, “Aren't you supposed to accompany someone for shopping tonight? Why are you still in the office?”“Oh, it seems like you’ve learned how to eavesdrop on others' conversations.” Without looking up, he continued, “Sit on the couch and keep me company.”Erin gave him a cold look and said expressionlessly, "I don't have time. I have to go back to work and edit some designs.”Hearing her annoyed tone, Chandler raised his head and asked, “Do you have any grievances against me?”Upon hearing his question, Erin

    When Erin returned to her office after getting off the elevator, she saw a takeout container on her desk. It reminded her that she hadn't had dinner yet. She glanced around and saw that the other colleagues who’d worked overtime with her had all left. She didn't know who had paid for the food.Only then did she remember about the order she’d placed for Caleb and quickly went to his office.Seeing that the lights in Caleb's office were still on, Erin took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door."Come in." Caleb’s voice was cold and formal.Pushing the door open, she saw Caleb still working in front of his computer. She said softly, “I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Grant. May I ask if you paid for the takeout?""Yes." Caleb replied without looking up."Thank you. I'll pay you back..." Erin took out the money she had prepared from her pocket.Caleb raised his head and casually said, "Put the money on the coffee table.""Okay."After putting the money on the coffee table, Erin

    Ian and Erin felt awkward when they heard Mary’s words.“Mom, why would you bring up the topic of having children out of nowhere?” Ian was the first to speak. Losing his appetite, he put down his spoon.“Why can't we talk about it? You and Erin have been married for a year now. Look at your cousin. He's three years younger than you and already a father. His wife even gave birth to twin sons. I'm not expecting you to have twins, but at least have a baby.”Listening to her mother-in-law urge her to get pregnant made Erin regret following Ian home. Their act seemed never-ending…Thinking that she would soon be divorcing Ian, Erin didn't want to continue discussing this topic. She put down her spoon and glanced at Mary. “I have a headache. I'm going to bed first.”Before they could react, Erin stood up. Mary slammed her spoon out of anger. She was so furious that she was at a loss for words.Erin paused for a while but didn’t turn back. She headed straight to the second floor.Watchin

    In the subway on the way to work, Erin recalled Mary’s words and decided she had to get a divorce as soon as possible. Otherwise, Mary would continue to urge her to have a baby. Mary had been pressuring her about it at least once every month for the past six months.She sent a message to Ian. “When do you have time? Bring the relevant documents. Let's go to City Hall and get a divorce.”Ten minutes passed, but she didn't receive a reply from Ian. Erin then called Holly.As soon as the call was connected, Holly said, "Erin, you didn't let Ian have his way last night, did you?"“No, I slept in the guest room. His mother came and will be staying for a few days. But I won't go back to the villa today. Let's meet tonight.”Holly sounded relieved. “I'm telling you, don't contact Ian again. Or else, you won’t be able to get rid of him. Since you want to divorce, do it decisively…”“I know! Don't worry. I’ve completely given up on Ian." Erin's voice was calm, but she still felt a pang of

    “Chandler, let go of me. My hand hurts!”No matter how much Erin shouted, Chandler refused to let go of her. He dragged her until they reached a specially designed door at the end of the corridor. Stopping in front of it, he entered the password, and the door opened. Right after the door opened, he pulled Erin into the room and slammed it shut before pressing her against it.His tone was cold as he spoke. “Tell me, why are you here?”Erin answered honestly, “I came with my friend. She’s attending the banquet on behalf of her parents.”Upon hearing her answer, Chandler frowned. “Then what's with your dress?” He stared at her clothes with a conflicted expression, and his eyes were piercingly cold.Erin said, “Someone accidentally spilled red wine on me earlier, and I spent a lot of time cleaning it…”After hearing her explanation, the anger in his black eyes slowly dissipated, but a flame ignited in his heart. Looking down at her delicate and pretty lips, he remembered when he’d ki

    “It’s me.” Chandler appeared in the room suddenly.Chandler had thought Sean would run into Erin if he returned to his room to change. As expected, it really did happen!Surprised, Sean stared at Chandler. He didn’t expect Erin to know Chandler. He pretended to remain calm and casually asked with a smile, “Chandler, is she your friend?”Elegant and dignified, Chandler strode in and glanced at Erin, who was rooted to the ground. Then he approached her and took her hand. “She’s not my friend. She’s my woman.”His voice was casual, yet it hit Erin and Sean hard.Erin looked up at Chandler, not understanding the meaning behind his words.Sean lowered his gaze. A moment later, his stiff hands relaxed, and he continued to do his tie leisurely. Then, he answered in a soft voice, “Oh.”“I’ll take her out first and come find you later.” Chandler held Erin's waist and walked out of the bedroom.As soon as they left, Sean, who had been pretending to be calm, turned pale.

    Erin chuckled lightly as she said, "Enny would have married and fallen in love with another man sooner or later. "If that man is Paulo, I would be more than willing. Enny will be very happy in her life, and I'm at ease entrusting her to Paulo. And with Paulo being so wealthy, I don't have to worry about anyone coveting Enny's status or her family's power.""You make a good point!" Jill agreed."Jill, if your wedding with Ryder happens around the same time as Enny's, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to help you," Erin said worriedly."No worries, I don't want a wedding ceremony. Ryder and I just need to register our marriage. We've been living together for ten years anyway," Jill said.Erin nodded. "Yeah, that's fine. Weddings are quite tiring anyway, whether you have one or not."After chatting for a while, Jill heard Ryder's footsteps and said quickly, "Let's talk next time. He's coming in." …At 10:00 pm that day, Erin visited Chandler's office at his company.However, h

    Ryder turned around with skepticism etched across his face. "What could possibly be wrong? Look at how anxious you are."As she leaned against the doorway, Jill held her phone aloft. There was a challenging glint in her eyes. "If you can remain that calm after hearing this news, I'll play your game with you later.""Really?" Ryder raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with."Forget it if you don't trust me." She pretended to turn away.In a swift motion, Ryder closed the distance between them."I believe you. Now, tell me," Ryder said."Enny and Paulo have settled things," Jill announced with a smirk playing on her lips."Damn! Who told you?" Ryder's curiosity peaked.Jill waved her phone triumphantly. "This is exclusive insider information! Erin personally sent a WhatsApp message, see for yourself!"Ryder snatched the phone, his eyes scanning the message rapidly.The message read, "Enny was two months pregnant with Paulo's child, and the couple had visited Paulo's parents.

    Cyril looked at Paulo's departing figure and sighed. "Master is so good-looking. That's why Ms. Frost has been chasing him for so many years… Actually, Master and Ms. Frost really are a perfect match!"Only after Paulo's figure disappeared into the forest did Cyril turn around silently.He was suddenly startled. "Ms. Frost…""Why so guilty? I'm not some demoness who preys on monks!" Enny exclaimed.Cyril laughed. "Ms. Frost, you're really humorous…""I'm asking you, where is your master?" Enny demanded.Cyril hesitated and said, "I don't know where Master is."Enny called his bluff. "Liar!""I really don't know," insisted Cyril."Cyril, your master is going through the most difficult time of his life. As his capable assistant and disciple, you must help him!" insisted Enny.Enny's serious expression made Cyril ask curiously, "What trouble has Master encountered?""Well, he wants to be with me, but he's too embarrassed to ask. What should I do?" she asked."Does Master reall

    Many years later, on the day Enny got her ID card, she drove to Skycloud Mountain overnight.There was a temple on the top of Skycloud Mountain, and she was going to see someone there.By the time she struggled to the mountaintop, it was already 6:00 am the next day.Enny was dressed in black. She wore white hiking shoes with a duck tongue hat and her hair casually tied in a ponytail.Her beautiful, bare face had been a stumbling block on her path to growth.Every year, the number of men she rejected could fill several trucks.That was just among those who had the chance to approach her, while those who didn't could only watch from afar.Enny looked straight ahead, wiping the sweat that had trickled down her cheek.She took a deep breath and walked into the small, secluded temple that was cut off from the world.She finally arrived just in time on the day the new chief abbot took office. In fact, she was there to prevent the new abbot from entering the monastic life!Driven b

He wore a plaid shirt with short sleeves, jeans, and branded sneakers.His simple style was a far cry from his rock star days.He looked somewhat thinner, his smile faint. "Erin, did you and Enny come to buy an instrument?""Yes, we bought Enny a violin. We actually wanted to visit your store." Erin's gaze drifted to Claire, who sat in the wheelchair.Matthew responded, "Sorry, I had to take Claire to get some medicine."Although Claire had been tragically affected by Matthew's obsessive fans years ago, she survived. However, she was left mentally incapacitated and was sometimes lucid for only a few hours.Matthew was loyal, taking it upon himself to c

Erin extended her hand for Chandler to slide the engagement ring onto her finger."You will be Mrs. Frost for the rest of your life! Don't even think about escaping!" Chandler exclaimed."Ah, I won't run. I am willing to be a happy prisoner," Erin said self-deprecatingly.Ryder rolled his eyes, his expression full of sourness.Kylan caught his expression and patted his shoulder without saying a word.As Erin put on the ring, everyone pres

    Five minutes later, the doorbell rang again as Enny started doing Erin's makeup."I'll get it, Mom. You stay seated, okay?" Enny said."Fine, Mommy won't move." Erin winked at her. Seconds later, Enny shouted, "Godfather!""Enny! You look so beautiful!" The joy in the man's voice was palpable.Erin stood up and walked to the living room, knowing Sean had arrived.By then, Sean and another man had already entered.They closed the door behind them."Erin, I've brought a makeup artist for you," Sean said with a slight smile.The man beside him bowed politely to her. "Hello, Ms. Lane!""Maya, your male disguise is a total failure. You just slapped on some rough makeup without even wearing a realistic mask. You don't look like a man at all," Erin teased with a laugh.Maya couldn't help but laugh. "Mr. Frost's security measures are too strict. If I had worn a stranger's male mask, I wouldn't have been allowed in, and I would have been detained.""Why go through all the trouble o

    Meanwhile, Erin had just gone to open the door of her hotel room.To her surprise, the person at the door was Roman."Rom! It's really you!" Erin exclaimed with joy. Dressed in a tailored white suit, Roman held a bouquet and joked, "Do you need to check my face to make sure I'm not wearing a mask?""Haha! I know it's you! Come in and let's talk. Thank you for the flowers!" Erin took the bouquet he offered and invited him inside.A minute later, Roman was sitting on the couch.He looked out to the underwater world from the floor-to-ceiling windows and remarked, "Enny and Eddie must really love this room.""Yes, the kids could watch it all night. Chandler specifically chose this type of room for the children," Erin explained.As Erin placed the fresh flowers in a vase, Roman inquired, "Where's Chandler?"Erin replied, "You should know what he's busy with, right?"Roman's gaze turned indecipherable, his tone probing as he asked, "You already know?"Erin laughed.

    Jill naturally denied it when she heard the question. "We didn't expose anything! Erin just happened to see us. What could we do? Pretend we don't know her? That's not realistic at all!""Did you really say nothing?" Ryder asked doubtfully.Calix was also skeptical as he questioned, "Erin is so sharp, and both of your acting skills are so poor. She must have figured it out."Tina exclaimed defensively, "We really didn't say anything! You two are so annoying! I'm dying of thirst here! Jill, hurry up and open the door. We can talk inside.""Yeah, I'm thirsty too," Jill echoed. She took out her room card, swiped it, and opened the door.The two women were about to close the door when Ryder stopped it with his hand. He asked, "What are you doing, not letting us in?""What are you coming in for? Don't you have your own room? Go away, we're going to take a nap!" Jill said grumpily."Taking a nap at this hour?
