Terry shuddered. His lips parted despite himself. The taste of her tears filled his mouth, dismantling the walls he had erected. All his senses were drawn towards her.He closed his eyes uncontrollably. Now, even if he were to kiss her and hold her like this, he wouldn't be tormented by the blood parasite anymore.He felt as if they had returned to the very beginning, when their love was pure and untainted by pain or betrayal. In that moment, she was his forever, and he was the only one she loved.When the kiss ended, Lisa's breathless voice reached his ears. "Terry, you still have feelings for me, don't you? You still love me, don't you?"Terry snapped back to reality, forcefully opening his eyes and pulling her arms away from his neck."You make that assumption based on a single kiss? If I kiss other people, does that mean I have feelings for them too?" Terry asked, suppressing the rapid beating of his heart.He was keenly aware of how hard he was bluffing.Lisa's face paled,
Terry took a deep breath, then closed his eyes. "You think she really loves you just because she tells you she does? Maybe she just doesn’t want the baby to be an illegitimate child," he told himself.Lisa returned to the hotel where her parents were waiting anxiously. They approached her, eager to know the outcome. "How did it go with Terry?" they asked."He still wouldn’t forgive me or accept me," Lisa replied. "But I'm not giving up just yet. I'll go see him again tomorrow."Lisa's father sighed, and her mother looked at her with concern. "But what if he keeps rejecting you? What will you do?""Don't worry, Mom. I won't cling to him or do anything extreme," she reassured her mother. "If Terry still won't accept me after I've done everything I can, then... then I'll go back to Solaria with you and raise the child as a single mother."Her mother shook her head. "Don't think that being a single mother is your only option forever. If the right man comes along one day, you can stil
Anyone in the company who had a basic knowledge of the CEO's life could easily recognize Lisa as the CEO's ex-girlfriend. There were even several videos of them circulating online.When reporters crowded around Lisa and accused her of being a homewrecker, Terry had swiftly come to her rescue, creating speculation within the company whether she would rise to power soon.However, to their surprise, Terry later returned to Jorvik alone. Therefore, most believed that Lisa had failed, yet here she was, seeking him out once again.Lisa blinked innocently at Terry and suggested, "Um... maybe we should discuss this in your office? You wouldn't want others to know what I left at your place, right?""I don't mind. What did you leave at my place?" Terry asked, growing irritated."Do you really want me to say it?" Lisa hesitated."Say it."Lisa cleared her throat and reluctantly revealed, "Well, the tampons you bought for me, I forgot to take them with me when I left. Also...""Enough!" Te
He would drink coffee from the couple's mug she bought, lean against the couple's pillow when he sat on the sofa reading, and even wear the fluffy Mickey Mouse slippers she bought for him (her slippers were Minnie Mouse slippers).She had even joked about taking their future child to Disneyland."I already threw them all away," Terry said without hesitation.Lisa paled, and she nervously bit her lip. After a moment, she seemed to regain her spirit and said, "It's okay, I can just buy them again."Terry appeared somewhat displeased and replied, "What do you want now, Lisa? I thought I've made things very clear yesterday. If you want money, speak to my secretary. If you don't want money, then leave Jorvik and go back to Solaria."He didn't want her to keep showing up in front of him like this, as it would make his mind a mess.Lisa gently tugged at Terry's sleeve. "Terry, won't you forgive me? I... I didn't know about the blood parasite. I also didn't know that you begged Monica Ha
"You didn't tell me anything because you're afraid that I would be heartbroken if you didn't survive the blood parasite removal, right?" Lisa asked, finally understanding his hesitation and silence.Terry didn't give her a direct answer. Instead, he said, "When I miraculously survived and all the blood parasites were finally removed from my body, what did I find waiting for me? It was you, in the hospital, planning to abort our baby. It was you who said you had no feelings for me anymore and would never love me anymore!"Each word felt like a painful blow to Lisa."I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..." Lisa choked out, filled with remorse."There's no need to apologize. Even if you tell me that you love me now, it's already meaningless," Terry responded coldly.But Lisa's hand remained on Terry's cheek, refusing to let go."It's not meaningless. If I made your heart turn cold and lifeless, then I'll warm it up again. Terry, please, give me a chance. Just one chance!" Lisa pleaded desper
He instinctively resisted, refusing to even hear it! Terry ignored Lisa and proceeded to open the files on his desk, focusing on his work. Meanwhile, Lisa sat on the nearby sofa, placing the snacks she brought on the coffee table. She went to the water dispenser to pour herself a glass of warm water, then ate the snacks while browsing through parenting websites on her phone.In this unusual yet peaceful atmosphere, everything felt natural. Lisa stole glances at Terry, who was deeply absorbed in his work. At this moment, it felt like things had returned to the way they used to be.In the past, if he was busy when she visited him, she would relax on the sofa in his office, enjoying snacks and drinks. His office was always stocked with various snacks she enjoyed, to the point where she once playfully complained, "Look at me, I'm gaining weight. You always tempt me with the snacks in your office. I'm going to get fat.""What's wrong with that? Even if you get fat, I'll still love you,
Wait a minute... Lisa suddenly realized that her phone was not in her hand. She sat up abruptly. When she saw her phone on the coffee table, she let out a sigh of relief. However, she suddenly thought of something. She immediately grabbed her phone and opened the photo album to check...She almost choked on her breath from shock. Where were all the photos of him that were in her phone?! They're all gone! She was looking at them earlier before she fell asleep!Lisa, holding her phone, quickly walked up to Terry. "Did you delete the photos in my phone?" she questioned."I only deleted photos of myself. Don't I have the right to decide what to do with my own photos?" Terry calmly replied."You..." Lisa's eyes turned teary. "Do you have any idea...""All I know is that they’re all photos of me," Terry interrupted. "And also, I don't appreciate being disturbed when I'm working."Lisa was speechless. In the end, she silently sat back down on the sofa. She was initially happy when she
She was crying. Standing on the roadside, she kept wiping away tears from her face with one hand, while tightly gripping her phone with the other."Stop the car!" Terry shouted.The driver quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road. Terry immediately got out of the car and approached Lisa. "What are you doing here? Why..."His voice came to an abrupt halt when he saw her face as she looked up at him. Her eyes were red and filled with tears. The sight tugged at his heart."Waah!" Lisa suddenly raised her hands and pounded Terry's chest repeatedly.Terry grabbed her hands with a frown. "What's gotten into you? What happened?""They're gone! The photos... they're all gone! The phone repair shops all said the photos can't be retrieved anymore, they're completely erased!" Lisa sobbed. "Do you have any idea how important those photos are to me? How could you delete them?"Terry's frown deepened, his voice turning cold. "I already told you, those are my photos. I can do whatev
