Leonard took a moment to compose himself, hyping himself up to seal the deal. However, Rachel's next words wiped the smile off his face."You're that infamous heartbreaker. There's no woman you can't conquer, only those you don't fancy."Rachel's words weren't compliments. If anything, they carried a touch of scorn.Leonard cleared his throat awkwardly and attempted to salvage his pride. "Even if I used to be a heartbreaker, there will come a day when I settle down. As long as I meet someone I genuinely like…"Rachel wasn't buying it. "Mr. Richmond, please tell this to someone who cares. I'm not interested in being another one of your victims."With that, she turned and walked away. Instead of pursuing her, Leonard glanced at the bouquet in his hand.This wasn't an ordinary bouquet. It contained the latest designs from various major jewelry brands—bracelets, rings, necklaces, and earrings to name a few.This bouquet cost him a whopping 20 million dollars.Rachel, who frequently
Leslie tightened her grip on the door handle. She took deep breaths, ensuring she could control her emotions before turning to face Hugh.At that moment, her face revealed no emotions other than joy."Yes, I got married. Did you hurry over from the hospital to congratulate me?" she asked.Hugh was only wearing a thin hospital gown. The cold wind blowing against him made him look extremely fragile.He must be cold. But the cold he was feeling was nothing compared to the icy feeling within his heart.Hugh stepped closer with puffy eyes. "Do you think I would congratulate you?"Leslie, can't you listen to me just once? Please, can you not act impulsively for this one thing?"He gazed at her with a worried expression.Leslie, on the other hand, massaged her temples."Hugh, you're ruining the mood. I have my reason for choosing him. Just because you saved me once doesn't mean you could meddle in my affairs."Hugh's heart tightened painfully.While he was in a coma, Leslie turned
All of a sudden, Natalie suddenly felt that all the suffering she endured was worth it in the end.She was grateful to have a man who would dote on her."So, what did you prepare for me?" Natalie smiled."Well…" Henry trailed off. "It's just a simple breakfast. You know, I can't really cook anything too complicated.""I'm happy that you're willing to cook for me." Natalie had always appreciated the little things.Henry smiled along. After taking off the apron, he led her to the dining room.The breakfast he made was already set on the table.There were two fried eggs, a sandwich, and some vegetables, along with two bowls of oats.This warmed Natalie's heart.She suddenly understood why the greatest joy in life was to be able to eat with the person one loved every day."You should eat first! I'll go take a shower! I smell of cooking oil. It might upset your stomach."Henry gave Natalie's hand a gentle squeeze and prepared to go upstairs.However, Natalie pulled him back. "Fo
Natalie looked at him in confusion.She watched as Henry stood up and took a few deep breaths.He seemed to be preparing himself mentally.After keeping his emotions in check, Henry turned around and looked at Natalie in dread. "You can tell me your decision now."Natalie found his actions amusing.She could not help but giggle. "Do you have to act like that? I was just going to tell you my answer. You look like you're preparing for war…"Henry frowned slightly. "So, what's your decision?""I agree to a remarriage," Natalie said quickly.Since she had already decided, there was no need for her to hesitate.She wanted to give herself, Henry, and the baby in her tummy a chance.Henry was dumbfounded when he heard her reply. He blinked his eyes repeatedly in disbelief.After a moment, he asked, "Are you saying… You're willing to remarry me?"Natalie nodded her head with certainty. "Yes. I agree to remarry you."Henry smiled brightly. He looked like a child who had just receiv
Truthfully, Sheldon did not need a cook.First of all, he was quite a good cook himself. Preparing a meal for himself was a simple thing for him.Furthermore, he was busy making preparations for his studio. He rarely had time to eat at home.He had only made such a suggestion because he wanted to ensure that Amy would be alright.Amy was excited when she heard Sheldon's words. She asked, "Really? Do you need help? Do you need a cook? I can do it!"Not only would she be able to stay with him, but she would also be able to cook for him.Perhaps it was a coincidence that Sheldon looked like her child.But looking at him was enough to give her comfort.She could even lie to herself and pretend that her son was still alive. Not to mention, Sheldon was handsome."Alright. Then I'll make the arrangements." He sighed in relief when he heard she wanted to accept the job."Okay.""Then you can rest first. I'll head out now.""Are you leaving so soon?" Amy was slightly disappointed. S
Sheldon's expression softened when he saw who was calling.He answered the call. "Hello?""Are you still in your office?" Lyla's voice sounded from the other side.After spending some time together, Sheldon had slowly gotten used to having Lyla in his life."No. I'm already resting at home," Sheldon lied.She was his therapist. But honestly, she had started to control many aspects of his life.She would scold him if he went home late at night because of work.To avoid being scolded by her, he made up a lie.However, Sheldon immediately tensed when he heard Lyla's words."Then why are your office lights still on?"What?Sheldon quickly looked around. Then, he stood up and walked toward the window.He had bought the 13th and 14th floors of that building for his studio.It wasn't too high up. He could see everyone when he looked down.He saw someone standing in the middle of the snow. Wasn't that Lyla?Sheldon touched his nose in embarrassment. He did not expect to be expos
They were very cooperative with the officer's requests. So, they obediently followed the officer back to the police station.After being thoroughly educated on that matter, it was already midnight.Lyla wanted nothing more but to find a hole to hide in when they left the police station.That was so embarrassing…She thought it would be a romantic night. Who knew…"I'm sorry… I never thought we wouldn't be allowed to set off fireworks there," Lyla said awkwardly.Sheldon did not blame her in the slightest. On the contrary, he smiled as he looked at her embarrassed state."I'm sorry that you had to go through such an experience…" Lyla tried her best to force a smile on her face."It's a unique experience. I think I'll remember tonight forever," Sheldon said faintly."Do you think that was stupid of me?" Lyla cared about his thoughts on that.After all, everyone wished to look perfect in the eyes of the person they loved instead of doing something stupid in front of them."No,"
Henry felt like all his emotions were caught in his throat. He already had an answer in his heart."If you think of me like that too… Then, I really…" Harry looked like he couldn't accept what was happening.Then, Natalie finally spoke, "Harry, rumors have a lot of power. You should address the situation and their doubts even if we did believe you."Not to mention, what you're doing now makes it quite easy for us to misunderstand you."Harry's lips twitched in exasperation. "I don't care how the world judges me. Managing the company is something Dad wanted. Of course, I'd do it properly." "Harry, I'll ask you one last time. Will you allow me to see Dad today?" There were a bunch of emotions surging in Henry's eyes.Henry could pretend that today had never happened as long as Harry didn't cross the line. But if Harry continued to be stubborn, he would start to retaliate too.Harry met Henry's gaze. Harry's gaze was calm, but there was a layer of ice in his eyes. "No," he fin
