After Ines was reinstated in her position at the TV station, she was in charge of planning two new programs. Due to the tight schedule, she had been working overtime more than usual lately.

Even during the weekends, she had to work from home.

The sheer volume of work was exhausting her both physically and mentally. At one point, she ended up falling asleep while in the middle of going through documents.

By the time she woke up, it was already dawn.

She slowly opened her eyes and instinctively tried to rub the soreness out of her eyes. To her surprise, she realized that someone was holding her wrist.

She nearly jumped and looked up alertly, then her eyes widened.

Solomon!

Why was he here?

When did he even show up?

Why was she wrapped in his arms?

A series of questions went through her mind. She decided she should not worry about finding an answer just yet and immediately wiggled out of his arms.

Soon, Solomon was awakened by her sudden gestures. Upon op

    Ines tried to compose herself and gently tapped against her forehead. “I just felt a little dizzy back there, maybe it’s because I haven’t been resting enough…” Solomon put a hand over her forehead to feel her temperature. Not only was her forehead burning, but her cheeks were beet red as well. With that, he gestured. “Let me take you back to bed so you can lie down for a while.” After Solomon settled Ines on the bed, he covered her with the blanket before stepping out of the room to find a thermometer. “Let me take your temperature.” Ines frowned and protested weakly. “It’s not a fever, I just haven’t been sleeping enough…” Before she could finish protesting, Solomon showed her the reading on the thermometer with a grave look on his face while also reading it out, “Thirty-eight point three.” Ines was taken aback by the reading and gently brushed against her cheeks while murmuring, “Hmm…maybe a mild fever.” Solomon set aside the thermometer before fixing a stern

    After eating breakfast, Ines went back to rest. Solomon was outside the room and she did not pay any mind to what he was up to, but she could hear the sound of water splashing against the bathroom tiles. Shortly after that, Solomon returned to the bedroom with a bath towel wrapped around his waist. Ines' eyes widened and she nearly gasped. “What are you doing?” “Took a shower.” Solomon answered factually, “You still have my pajamas around here, don’t you?” Ines hesitated. “…Yes.” Solomon opened the closet and found his pajamas inside. It was still neatly hung in its original spot. He grabbed it and proceeded to put it on. When he turned around, he noticed Ines with her head buried under the blanket again. With that, he lifted the blanket and fished Ines out of the blanket. “Why do you keep hiding under the blanket?” Ines grabbed tightly onto the blanket and eyed him nervously. “What are you doing?” Solomon ruffled her hair and stated candidly, “Figured I’d

    In the end, Ines dragged herself to the kitchen because she was worried. As soon as she stepped into the kitchen, he saw Solomon sipping from a spoon. He was taste-testing the soup. “Why are you up already?” Upon noticing Ines, Solomon quickly put away the spoon and went to her. “You should have put on a coat, have you forgotten that you have a running fever?” As he said this, he went to the bedroom to grab a coat to put around her shoulders while asking with a frown, “How do you feel? Do you feel better after getting some rest?” Ines stared at the way he was behaving and found herself rather confused. Why was he being so caring to her when they had already broken up? The more he showed concern for her, the more troubled she became. She was beginning to have second thoughts about leaving him. Upon noting Ines’ silence, Solomon went to grab the thermometer and took her temperature again. The reading was the same as the morning, it had not gone up nor gone down.

    “Where are you?” Patricia asked. Solomon scooped several additional slices of fish to Ines' plate while answering Patricia on the phone, “I’m outside right now, why?” Upon hearing this, Patricia immediately became upset. “Jonathan told me you came back from Monafett yesterday. Why didn’t you bother to come home to see me first? Why are you outside hanging about already? Have you ever thought about how your parents would feel?” Solomon could sense by her tone that she was truly upset and proceeded to explain, “Mom, of course I care about you and Dad. I just happen to have something come up. I’ll be right back after I finish up things on my end.” “Busy? How busy can you possibly be? I know you already took care of things at Monafett, what else is there for you to do at this point? “If you’re so busy, then keep at it and don’t bother coming back anymore!” “That won't do.” Solomon chuckled and cast a glance at Ines who was silently eating her food. “One way or another, I

    Solomon fixed another look on Ines and spoke, “At the time, all you did was apologize to me but you never directly answered my question.” Ines pursed her lips and stayed silent. The air around them seemed to thicken with silence. After a long time passed, Solomon sighed and gave in. “Forget it, let's eat. We can talk about this later.” Since Ines was still feverish, he did not want to pressure her needlessly… Ines nibbled at the rest of the food and did not utter a single word for the rest of the meal. After the meal, she went to the couch and replied to some texts at work. Meanwhile, Solomon took the dishes to the kitchen to wash. He may be an amateur cook, but he was very experienced when it came to doing the dishes since it was his main duty in the past. After he was done washing the dishes, he returned to the living room with a glass of hot water for Ines. “Drink this.” “I can't drink anymore,” Ines remarked. She was bloated and did not want to drink.

    “Why?” Solomon was caught off guard. He could not understand why Ines would say so. “Because I always feel insecure with you!” Ines' eyes were frayed with red. She was finally able to say what she had always kept to herself for ages. “You’ve always been on and off with me. Every time you missed me, you would come to me and shower me with so much affection as if we had only just started dating. Then, when you were busy, you would ignore me for up to two months at a time and didn’t even try to contact me… “You kept claiming that you won’t mess around with other women when you have a girlfriend, but it didn’t seem like you put much effort into rejecting their advances when they pulled out every trick in the book to get closer to you! “You told me that I’m the only woman who has your heart and that you would never flirt with other women, but that’s not what I have been seeing. I saw you getting touchy with another woman in the hotel and entering the same room together…” What

    Solomon called Jonathan and ordered him to check the surveillance footage in the corridor of the hotel on the twenty-first of June. After hanging up, he turned back to Ines. “Let’s put this aside for now, we’ll get back to it later on. For now, there’s something else I want to talk about.” Ines cast a confused look at him. “Huh?” Solomon suddenly took her hand and expressed sincerely, “I admit that I have not put in a lot of effort to see you when I was busy, but I have never been on and off with you. I’m sorry I made you feel this way, but you should have told me about it when it happened.” The look in Ines’ eye fluttered but she did not speak. “Ines, we have been together for so long but I don’t think I have ever told you what my job is.” Ines stated, “You’re the president of Rowland Corporation.” “That's not the only job I have.”Solomon gently massaged her hands and began to explain, “Before I took over the operation at Rowland Corporation, I founded a company

    Jonathan had sent him the surveillance footage taken from the hotel corridor. In the video, Solomon could be seen pushing a scantily dressed woman with an hourglass figure against the wall. He pressed a hand against her waist in a flirtatious manner. Then, he seemed to have said something to the beautiful woman and prompted her to playfully thump against his chest. After that, he held her by her waist and led her into the room at the end of the corridor… ... Upon watching the video, Ines’ sour memories were reawakened. A surge of rage swelled inside her in an instant. She glared at Solomon with a stout expression. “How are you going to explain this?” Solomon stared at the woman in the video for what seemed like ages before he finally remembered the events of that day. Surely enough, the man inside the video was none other than him. Ines’ accusations were not unfounded! However, there was more to it than she thought. He immediately turned to Ines. “Ines, I

    Kyle stared into Zoe’s eyes. He had indeed noticed it, but he was not sure yet.However, when Zoe called him by his full name, he was completely certain.Zoe had regained her memories.From the moment she woke up, her emotions had been off. Even Monica noticed something wrong with her, so how could he not have seen it?Kyle looked at Zoe, reaching out to brush the hair by her temples. “It’s been a long time since you called me that.”Zoe had not called him since waking up, but as soon as she did, she called him Kyle instead of Ky. He knew then she must have remembered everything.Although Kyle knew that this day would come sooner or later, he did not expect her to regain her memories at this moment.He was completely unprepared and caught off guard.Zoe lowered her head. “That’s what I used to call you, but you tricked me into calling you Ky.”She remembered everything as soon as she woke up.The events that happened when she had forgotten felt like a dream, too surreal to be

    Kyle named the baby Six not only because he was born at 6 pounds and 6 ounces but also because June 6th was the day they first met.He would always remember the scene when he first saw Zoe, even though their relationship started with deception, manipulation, and even revenge.Kyle caressed Zoe’s cheek and said, “Zoe, I’ve never told you this, but I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. It was love at first sight.“I want you to stay by my side forever and let me stay by your side forever. I’ll never let you go again in this lifetime.”Zoe’s eyes slowly reddened as she listened to Kyle’s heartfelt words.Indeed, she never knew he fell in love with her at first sight...They both did.Kyle gently wiped away her tears. “Zoe, I promise you. We’ll only part in death, never in life.”Zoe choked and nodded, burying her face in his chest as she cried.In her arms, Six seemed to sense his mother’s emotions and moved restlessly.Zoe quickly comforted him.“Let me.” Kyle took the

    At the hospital. When Zoe woke up again, it was already the next morning.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Kyle sitting by her bedside.Kyle noticed her waking up and quickly held her hand. “Zoe, you’re awake. How do you feel?”Zoe stared at the man in front of her and blinked, feeling shocked.When she did not answer, Kyle immediately became nervous. “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”Zoe remained silent and continued to stare at him. Her eyes gradually turned red, and her nose tingled with a strong sense of sourness.Kyle’s heart clenched at the sight. “Zoe, don’t scare me like this. Zoe...”He was getting anxious and was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly grabbed his hand. “I... I’m okay. I just had a nightmare. I’m a bit groggy after waking up.”Kyle hugged her, his warm hand gently patting her back. “It’s okay. I’ve been by your side all along.”Zoe buried her face in his shoulder, softly humming without saying anything.At that mom

    “I see.”Outside the delivery room, Kyle’s family and the others were still waiting anxiously.Close to midnight, the door finally opened, and the nurse carried the baby out.“It’s a boy. Both mother and son are safe.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.Before long, Zoe was pushed out. Monica checked on the baby before hurriedly walking to Zoe’s side and taking her hand. “Zoe, you did so well.”“I’m okay, Mom.”Zoe was still very weak after just giving birth, and her voice was weak. Monica immediately told her husband to call the servants to brew a tonic and sent it over.Mable walked to Zoe and felt her heart ache when she saw the latter’s pale face, but she smiled and said, “Congratulations, Zoe.”Zoe smiled, no longer having the strength to speak.Blair and Solomon congratulated Kyle.Kyle nodded, not paying attention to them, and took Zoe back to the ward with the nurse.Zoe was a first-time mother, so she was extremely exhausted after giving birth an

    As soon as Mable learned that Zoe was about to go into labor, she rushed to the hospital immediately. It was late at night, and Blair was worried, so he accompanied her.When the two arrived at the hospital, Zoe had already been taken into the delivery room. Kyle followed her in, but his parents waited anxiously outside.Mable looked at Monica and Floyd and asked, “Isn’t Zoe’s due date still about ten days away? Why did it suddenly come early?”Monica said, “We’re not sure, either. After dinner tonight, Zoe said her stomach was hurting. Kyle helped her upstairs to rest, but not long after, he called for someone to prepare the car to go to the hospital...”Seeing Mable stare anxiously at the delivery room, Blair held her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Zoe has been healthy her whole pregnancy. There shouldn’t be any problems.”Mable nodded. “Yeah, I hope both the mother and child are safe.”Soon, Solomon and Ines also arrived.Solomon greeted Kyle’s parents and asked, “How

    Without saying anything, Solomon placed his behind Ines’ head and kissed her.Ines wrapped her arms around his waist...Knock, knock!The untimely sound of knocking interrupted them.Ines jumped like a startled deer, eyes wide and cheeks red.The servant’s voice came from outside. “Sir, dinner is ready.”Solomon hugged Ines and cleared his throat. “Got it. We’ll be right there.”The servant acknowledged and left.Ines buried her head in Solomon’s chest and took a deep breath before saying, “Let’s go. Don’t want your parents to wait too long.”“Yeah.”Solomon stroked her head and looked at the drawing he had just completed. “Once it’s dry, I’ll have it framed and hang it in the bedroom, okay?”Ines asked, “In this bedroom?”Solomon nodded and kissed her forehead. “Yeah, we’ll probably come back to stay here often in the future.”Ines pursed her lips and smiled silently.“Let’s go have dinner.” Solomon led her downstairs.After having dinner at the Rowland residence, Solom

    Solomon embraced Ines from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “I learned to draw when I was young and almost did fine arts for college.”“Why didn’t you?”Winning first prize in a national art competition indicated a high level of drawing skill.Solomon said, “Painting is just one of my many interests. I do it to pass the time when I’m bored. I’ve never thought of becoming an artist.”Ines nodded. “I see.”Solomon suddenly perked up and opened a small cabinet beside the bookshelf, taking out a canvas and some paints. “Come on, I’ll draw a portrait.”Ines was stunned. “Of me?”“Yep. Give me a moment.”Solomon led Ines to sit on the sofa, then went out to find a servant to bring him the easel.Although he had not painted in many years, he still had all the tools he used before.Before long, the servant helped him bring in the easel and other tools.After looking at the layout of the bedroom, Solomon asked Ines to sit in the soft chair by the window, where the lighting w

    Ines blinked. “I was just thinking about what to bring to your house tomorrow. I can’t go empty-handed...”Solomon laughed at her words. “You don’t need to bring anything. Just seeing you will make them happy.”“That won’t do. I still need to buy something.”Although she knew that Solomon’s parents did not lack anything, she could not just go without a gift. It was still necessary to have proper etiquette.Ines was a little nervous at the thought of visiting his parents tomorrow. “Can you tell me what your parents are like?”Solomon noticed her nervousness and squeezed her hand. “Don’t worry. My mom and dad are very nice. They won’t make things difficult for you.”Ines looked at him and nodded.With him by her side, she was not that worried.She heard Solomon say that his father liked tea, so she bought a gift box from the supermarket. In addition, she also brought some nutritional supplements to bring along when they go to Solomon’s house tomorrow.After buying everything, th
