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
The second Natalie saw Leslie, she wasn't astounded by her beauty. Instead, she noticed the forced smile on Leslie's face.It was evident that the grand and luxurious wedding was not what Leslie had wanted."Les…" Natalie didn't know what to say when she saw Leslie in such a state. She never thought that Leslie's wedding would end up like this.She clearly remembered what Leslie had said to her when Leslie was still dating Hugh.Leslie had run up to her excitedly and said, "On the day I marry Hugh, I'll become the prettiest bride with the most gorgeous wedding dress. I'll also put on my happiest smile…"Oh, right. I'll also help Hugh put on his ring! We'll both play a part in designing the ring. It sounds so romantic! Then, I'll ask Hugh to sing to me during our wedding ceremony!"Did you know that he's a good singer? If he looks at me and sings for me with that hoarse voice of his while wearing a suit… "Oh, my God! I'll remember that feeling for life!"Perhaps it was because
"Les, can you not smile so stiffly? We're in a public setting. Could you help me maintain my pride? Don't let other people think I forced you to marry me," Ivan said with a low voice that only he and Leslie could hear.Leslie tried her best to smile, but it still looked forced.Ivan could tell she was forcing herself to smile because she was sad. And that was why he couldn't help but say what he'd just said.Leslie looked at him and took a deep breath, forcing herself to smile more brightly.After all, Ivan had been a great help to her. So, she couldn't allow him to be embarrassed in public.She would be an ungrateful and selfish person if she did.The two of them got onto the stage and started the ceremony.Soon, it was time for the bride and groom to exchange vows.The host asked Ivan, "Does the groom willingly take the bride as your wife? To remain loyal and faithful till death do you part?"To cherish and protect her through poverty or wealth? To spend your whole life with
Meanwhile, Harper was standing by the side. After making some calculations, she said enthusiastically, "Hugh's photo-taking skills are very average. "Why don't I help you guys instead? I can print the photos out and give them to Les.""Then I'll have to trouble you with it," Ivan said as he placed his hands on Leslie's shoulders.Harper then took out her phone and began taking some photos.Hugh felt his heart break as he watched Ivan alternate between putting his hands on Leslie's shoulders and waist.He subtly averted his gaze, but Ivan still noticed his actions.After they finished taking the photos, Leslie quickly moved aside.Truthfully, she felt a little uncomfortable being in Ivan's embrace. It felt too intimate.Some time ago, they'd gone to do a pre-wedding photoshoot, and the photographer had asked Ivan to kiss her. However, Leslie couldn't help but dodge just as he was about to do it. She simply couldn't handle such intimacy with him.Fortunately, Ivan didn't fo
Ivan's voice was deep as he whispered in her ear, "Don't worry. I remember what I promised you, and I'll stick to it. I just—I just really wanted to hug you."Although he was only hugging her, Leslie still felt uncomfortable.But then, she remembered that she was his wife now. She couldn't refuse to let him hug her, could she?Leslie's hand paused midair before she slowly put it down."Les, I'll use my whole life to treat you well. So, please don't leave me, alright?" Ivan sounded like he was pleading with her.But Leslie didn't know how to react to his pleas. She could only smile and say, "We just got married. How can you talk about leaving? Don't you think that's inappropriate?"Ivan finally let go of her.His gaze was filled with warmth as he said, "Alright. You must also be tired from today. You should go and rest. This is your room.""Then what about you?" Leslie asked."I can stay here and share a room with you if you wish." Ivan joked.However, he didn't receive an ans
