Julian's phone was turned off. Despite Nora's repeated attempts to call, it remained unresponsive.

She couldn't fathom why he had turned it off. Later, when she opened her computer to review some of Rowan's company’s financial accounts, she made several errors.

Her mind wandered uncontrollably to various negative scenarios, most involving Julian.

In reality, after leaving Nora, Julian decided against staying at a hotel as planned. Instead, he opted to go straight to the airport and leave.

Realizing she might not take good care of herself, he ordered takeout for her from a nearby restaurant. After instructing them to deliver it at a particular time, he continued his journey to the airport.

Julian chose to leave because he believed he needed to exercise restraint. He had underestimated his ability to control himself. He thought that merely being by her side and watching her would be enough, but he couldn't resist the urge to kiss and hold her once he was with her.

    Nora froze in her tracks, utterly shocked. She was somewhat bewildered, but she understood that Julian had orchestrated this grand gesture.She hadn't expected such a high-profile public confession. Her first instinct was to escape the attention and leave. She wasn't accustomed to being in the spotlight in such a public manner."Nora!"Dressed sharply in a suit, Julian walked toward her with a gentle expression and a beautiful curve on his lips.He stood before her, his dark eyes gazing at her. Then, he spoke earnestly, "I want to marry you, have a child with you, and spend the rest of my life with you. I want to hold your hand even when we're old with white hair and hunched backs."Julian's declaration was a complete reversal of his previous actions, where he had initiated a breakup due to his fear of the long-term future. This time, he was making a firm commitment. He wouldn't easily give up, and he was offering a lifetime promise.Tears welled up in Nora's eyes inexplicabl

    However, being together was one thing, and talking about marriage was another. Nora was still young, so there was no rush to get married.Given Julian's philandering, postponing the wedding for a few years might be a good idea. Perhaps Julian's current infatuation and passion for Nora were only temporary. Over the years, the passion might fade away, and he might lose his current dedication and enthusiasm. Only then could one truly assess a man's attitude toward love and marriage.Rowan dropped Nora off at the Old Pierce Manor. Nora invited him inside, but he declined.In their days in Detroit, Rowan had been occasionally visiting and meeting with Greg. However, they would always meet outside, at a cafe. Rowan had never set foot in the Old Pierce Manor because he didn't want to upset Ophelia. From Ophelia's perspective, she likely wouldn't want to see a child her husband had with another woman inside her own home.After Rowan left Nora and returned home, Julian's car pulled up. He h

    So, she let him follow her. After all, she was going to work and would not have time to care about him.However, her mind was suddenly flooded with memories when she thought about Winsterdam being the destination, and then about Julian. He had come with her that time when she came to Winsterdam to get her mind off of things. The two of them had a very sweet time in Winsterdam, regardless of whether it was on the way to Winsterdam, those few days in Winsterdam, or in the heavy rain during their trip back, but now…The driver sent Nora to the hotel she had booked in advance before returning to Detroit. Silvia was in Detroit because she was still on maternity leave, and Ryan naturally stayed with Silvia. No one had been staying in their villa in Winsterdam for several months, so Ryan said that he would get someone to clean it in advance so that Nora could stay there, but Nora felt that it was not necessary. She was only coming to Winsterdam for a day or two to shoot a cover, so there

    Nora thought that he would avoid her when she tried to grab his cell phone, but he let her grab it from him. Thus, she grabbed his hand and could not help but tremble slightly when her palm pressed against the warm skin on the back of his hand. Upset, she instantly let go.He looked at her and smiled as he said, “You can tell me if you want to touch my hand. I’ll let you touch it as much as you want.”Nora’s reaction to his shameless words was to throw the phone charger into his arms. She wanted to close the door immediately to keep him out.He stretched out his long leg to block her as he asked, “What are your plans for the afternoon?”Nora replied angrily, “I’m going to sleep!”She had wanted to sleep for a while in the car earlier, but she could not sleep anymore when the driver told her that Julian was following her. She suddenly felt dizzy and thought that she would just catch up on some sleep since she had nothing to do in the afternoon.After she was done speaking, Julia

    Julian simply hugged her, and his voice became even more mellow as he asked, “Are you sure you don’t want to talk to me about anything?”Before Nora could say anything, Julian continued, “I know you still care about me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have let me in when it rained in the United States, and you wouldn’t have lent me your phone charger out of fear that my work would be delayed—” “You’re speaking gibberish!” Nora’s voice trembled slightly as she interrupted him. She raised her tone and yelled, “I don’t care about you anymore, and I haven’t cared about you in a long time! Get over yourself!”Nora defended herself loudly, as if the louder her voice was, the more decisive her tone would be, and it would prove that she really did not care about him anymore.Julian straightened her slender body so that she would be facing him, his intense gaze focused on her face. She was wearing makeup which made her eyes look even more gentle and beautiful. Julian sighed before he said in a low

    He started to select the photos immediately and chose the photos that he thought were the most beautiful so that he could play them on the projector. In fact, all of her photos were beautiful in his opinion, but he could not play them all because there were too many photos, so he simply chose his favorite ones.Sofia wanted him to record an affectionate love confession for Nora, but Julian felt that if he said these words too many times, they would lose their meaning. Hence, he simply played these photos of her to prove that he had missed her dearly and had gone through a great deal to make up for the year that he could not spend with her.There was a simple sentence at the end after the photos—‘I was really lucky to have met you.’These words froze in the center of the screen.Nora knew that this was a lyric from a song that she really liked, and she had sung this song before. Nora broke down after seeing all this. She raised her hand to cover her mouth as she tried hard to stop

    “Nora…”Nora felt her heart racing when she thought about everything that had happened in the restaurant tonight. She did not open the door and simply asked, “What’s up?”He whispered outside the door, “It’s nothing, I just wanted to make sure that you returned to your room safely.”Nora rolled her eyes as she stood at the door. Would she lose her way in a hotel at this age? “I’m back safe. You should rest earlier.”She was making it obvious that she did not want to talk to him anymore. “Okay, you should go to bed early too.” Julian said this calmly outside the door. Nora thought that the conversation would end here. After all, it was not very comfortable for two people to talk through a door. Just as she was about to step into the bathroom, she suddenly heard him asking outside the door again, “Are you happy tonight?”There was expectation and apprehension in his tone.Nora felt a little distressed and simply replied softly, “Thank you.”She did not tell him how happy she

    Ryan called Nora during the lunch break to ask Nora about the shooting situation and when Nora would be coming back so that he could arrange for a driver to pick her up.Nora glanced at Julian, who was sitting next to her, as she held her cell phone in her hand and finally replied to Ryan, “You don't have to send a driver to pick me up. I’ll find a way to get back.”Although she did not state things clearly, she was already hinting to Ryan that she would take Julian’s car back to Detroit. Julian could not conceal the smile on his face.Ryan, who was on the other end of the line, understood the meaning of her words. The Pierces also knew about the fact that Julian had followed Nora to Winsterdam because of the driver’s report. When faced with Nora’s answer, Ryan responded in a deep voice, “You can decide for yourself.”He had gone through a reconciliation with Silvia himself, so Ryan somewhat empathized with the entanglement between Nora and Julian. Therefore, he had always been r

    Evelyn was worried about this, but Rowan did not take it seriously as he said, “This small amount of snow is nothing.”Evelyn was extremely worried. The temperature was so low now, so the road must be icy. The snow was too heavy and would block his sight. Evelyn did not want him to be in any danger, so she suggested in a low voice, “It’s better if you don’t go back.”Rowan looked at her in surprise and smiled as he asked, “Where will I stay if I don’t go back? Do you want me to stay in the car all night?”Evelyn shook her head and said, “Y-You can go home with me.”She had just taken the initiative to invite a man to spend the night at her home. It was truly embarrassing for a shy girl like Evelyn to say these words, but she was willing to do so for his safety.“My mother should be asleep now, and she wakes up later in the morning. We can just leave before she wakes up in the morning.”She explained with a red face, “Don’t misunderstand me. I just don’t want you to be in danger o

    She held her cell phone and said hurriedly, “I’ll go down right now.”She ended the call and hurriedly put on her down jacket. She was wearing warm and soft polar fleece home clothes. She did not have time to change, so she simply put on a down jacket and went out. She opened the door and walked out stealthily, out of fear that she would wake Helena up, and Helena would find out that she was going down to meet Rowan in the middle of the night. Helena would surely think that this kind of behavior was inappropriate. When passing by the living room, Evelyn glanced in the direction of Helena’s bedroom. The lights had been turned off, so she was probably asleep. Helena’s physical condition was not as good as it was before the surgery. After all, she was getting older and had undergone craniotomy, which was a major surgery, so she could not keep up mentally and physically. She would go to bed very early at night and wake up late in the morning.After Evelyn left the house quietly, sh

    Cassie’s expression turned ugly when she heard Helena’s words. She was shocked and humiliated as she asked in disbelief, “Is it Rowan Pierce?”Cassie knew that it was the Pierces and Matons who were maliciously targeting the Sullivans. Julian and Nora had just gotten married, and it was said that Julian loved Nora very much, so it could not be Julian.As the person in charge of the Pierces, Ryan was a married man as well, and the couple usually kept a low profile and rarely displayed their affection. However, Cassie heard that Ryan’s wife had just given birth to a son, and it was widely known that Ryan was a family man now.Rowan was the only single man, so could it be Rowan?Cassie recalled the scene when she saw Rowan shopping with them in the mall that day. At the time, she wondered why Rowan would be willing to go shopping with them, but now, it seemed that he was there for Evelyn’s sake. Cassie was so stunned when she thought of this that she felt like she would choke on a m

    In the end, Natalie was pushed to a dead end and had no choice but to hold a press conference in a hurry. During the press conference, she cried and apologized for the plagiarism and the fact that she had looked for someone to draw a design for her, and announced that she would be quitting the design world.However, few people accepted her apology or showed sympathy for her even though she apologized and admitted her mistakes. The general public opinion was still scolding her in various ways, so Barry simply drove Natalie home and asked her to stay at home to avoid the limelight. One night after Natalie’s incident, Evelyn was accompanying Helena on a stroll in the neighborhood when they ran into Cassie.Natalie’s life had been completely gloomy and dark in the past few days, but Evelyn’s life was stable and practical.Rowan insisted on picked her up from work every morning. If Rowan was at the company at noon, the two would have lunch together. Considering that Helena would be at

    Natalie never expected that Rowan would play these dirty tricks behind her back. She did not know that Rowan was best at these tricks. She had cried and begged Barry to plead for mercy on her behalf, but when Barry came back, he told her that there was no room for redemption. She was desperate and was filled with hatred and resentment. Over the years, she had tried every means possible to trample all over Evelyn, but in the end, she was the one who suffered the most and could not turn her life around. Natalie clenched her teeth angrily in hatred as she dug her nails into her palms and tried to calm her emotions. So what if her career in design was ruined? She never truly liked this industry anyway. She had only learned it at the beginning in order to crush Evelyn. She could still do other things even if she did not do design, right? There were so many different industries in this world, so she did not have to make a living in jewelry design. Besides, she was a Stewart, so s

    She laughed loudly when she was happy, shed tears when she was sad, never hid her true self, and was a frank and sincere person. Why wouldn’t men like such a girl?Rowan laughed. He did not mean to slander Selena; he was simply analyzing Selena’s current situation from his perspective as a man. Selena might indeed be a good girl in Evelyn’s eyes. After all, Evelyn was a woman who only cared about Selena’s personality, but men paid more attention to a woman’s temperament and charm sometimes. Everyone naturally had their own preferences. For example, Rowan preferred someone simple like Evelyn, whereas some men might prefer someone with a stronger personality like Selena. Evelyn had to call Charles after she could not reach Selena. “Charles, is Selena home? I can’t seem to reach her on her cell phone.”Charles frowned when he heard Evelyn’s words. “She’s not back yet. You can’t reach her on her cell phone?”“I can’t. I tried calling her several times, but her cell phone is switch

    He was wrong. He was really wrong. He treated the person he wanted to protect so coldly and harshly. It seemed that he had not been in a relationship for too long that he had forgotten how to love. Fortunately, it only took him this once to understand the crux of his problem. Therefore, he stroked her cheek gently and reassured her in a deep voice, “It won’t happen again.”Evelyn chose to smile slightly in relief in response to his apology and assurance.When two people are together, they need to understand and accommodate each other in terms of personality, temperament, and living habits. Since they had only officially been together for a day, this was even more essential for them. As he said, he was an ordinary man, and she was an ordinary woman. Their relationship was that of an ordinary couple, so it was normal for them to quarrel, have disagreements, and lose their temper. Evelyn felt that there was nothing that could not be solved as long as it did not involve principles

    “Getting dinner!” Rowan announced angrily, then he placed her in the passenger seat, got into the car, and drove away. Evelyn had no other objections since they were going to eat. Anyway, she had already called Helena earlier to tell her that she would not be going back for dinner tonight as she would be having dinner with Selena. Not long after the two had gotten into the car and driven out, Selena called and asked Evelyn worriedly, “Evelyn, how did it go? Did you manage to coax him yet?”As Rowan was sitting next to her, Evelyn could not answer whether she had managed to coax him. Therefore, she hesitated without saying anything.When Selena heard this, she knew that they must not have reconciled yet, so she gave her advice on the other end of the line. “It’s fine. There’s no man that can’t be coaxed. Just one kiss will do. If he still can’t be coaxed, give him two kisses. If that doesn’t work, just kiss him all over until he’s no longer angry!”Selena’s voice was loud enough,

    Selena’s tone was full of annoyance as she said, “I initially thought of giving Evelyn a surprise, but it turned out to be a shock!”Selena had good intentions as well; she just wanted to introduce the most handsome, stylish, and reliable man that she knew to Evelyn, but it turned out to be self-defeating. As for Shane, who was to be introduced to Evelyn, he simply stood there leisurely the whole time, looking at the three of them as if he was watching a good show. He watched as they got jealous, explained themselves, and felt depressed. Even though both Evelyn and Selena had explained the whole story entirely, Rowan still felt angry and annoyed.After glaring angrily at Evelyn, he simply turned around and walked away.Evelyn and Selena could only exchange glances as they were at a loss for what to do.In the end, Evelyn said to Selena helplessly, “I’ll go and see how he’s doing.
