In the VIP room.Nathan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, saying nothing.The atmosphere in the entire VIP room dropped to freezing point, and the air pressure seemed to decrease.Sophia waved her hand at the makeup artists, saying, "You guys can leave now."Nathan still didn't react, his hands in his pockets, staring out the window with a dark expression."Nathan..." Sophia walked over with a glass of water. "Have some water? There’s no humidifier in this room, the air is too dry."Nathan didn't take the water, not even bothering to give her a glance, and his tone was harsh, "I don't want it."Sophia's hand trembled slightly. She forced a smile and, feeling a bit dejected, returned to her seat. "Are you still thinking about seeing Emily? If you want to go, then go."At the mention of Emily, Nathan finally reacted. He snapped back, questioning her, "Did you do this on purpose?""What?""Don't play dumb. You said Chloe invited you to this concert and then forced me to come
Nathan smiled, as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders."Sophia, you've become so gentle."Sophia stepped forward and helped adjust his tie, completely submissive. "My stepfather and mother might not agree with my decision. But it's okay. If you and Emily decide to stay together, I will persuade them. I’ll tell them it’s my choice to separate. They love me dearly and will respect my wishes. You won’t have to deal with any of these troubles. Just enjoy your time with Emily. As for our baby…, he's a Reed, and I will give up custody. You'll take good care of him, right?"Nathan let out a deep breath. "Yes, as long as he's my child, I will take good care of him.""That's good, I'm relieved," Sophia said. "My parents have already sent out the wedding invitations. The media and friends have all been notified. The wedding must go on as planned. My father is a public figure, and we shouldn't let him lose face, especially now that he's starting his career in New York. Okay?"This requ
Emily rarely paid attention to entertainment news.The name Lucas was familiar to her only because Olivia had mentioned it a few times. Emily knew he was a very popular star, but that was all. However, sitting in the front row now, she could see Lucas’s stunning performance under the lights and sounds. His dance moves were captivating, and his singing was very appealing. Emily thought he was truly born to be a star.She didn’t know much about music and dance, but as an audience member, she could only say: he deserves all the fans going crazy for him.Beep beep beep—A message from Mr. Satan popped up on her phone: "."Emily frowned. What did Mr. Satan mean by sending a period?His messages were usually short, but this was too brief.She replied: "What’s up?""Lucas is quite handsome, isn’t he?""Yes, he’s very handsome. I just did his makeup, and his skin is really good. He’s naturally good-looking."Mr. Satan called her directly.Her phone started vibrating, and Emily picked up, “Hel
He has too many secrets.Emily worked on Lucas's makeup for three hours today. Feeling sorry for her, Mr. Satan took her to dinner at the hotel’s restaurant on the first floor.They ate in a private dining room, then went upstairs to rest together.Room 3207 at the Hilton Hotel was familiar and comforting. The darkness of the room seemed to make all worries disappear as soon as they entered, making one want to sleep soundly.As soon as they entered the room, Mr. Satan picked Emily up.Emily exclaimed, "What are you doing?""I’m going to help you take a bath," Mr. Satan said. "It’s important for a pregnant woman to stay clean. You worked a long time today, and you should take a bath to relax."He's going to help her bathe?Did he mean they would bathe together?Emily quickly pushed him away. "I’m just pregnant, not incapable of taking care of myself. I can bathe on my own.""But I want to help you bathe.""…"Emily was at a loss for words, blocked by his serious tone.He always managed
"Nathan?" Olivia cleared her throat, sounding puzzled. "What's wrong with him?"Allen Parker's voice was low, but it still came through the receiver, "He's been on the front pages of various media almost every day recently. Nathan announced that Logan Morgan has officially joined the Reed Group, and at the same time, he's preparing for the wedding with Logan Morgan's daughter. These are two explosive pieces of news, enough to make Nathan a hot topic."Olivia chuckled, "Logan Morgan's daughter? Who is she, Sophia? Is she even worthy?""Our opinions don't matter to them. Many people now think they are a perfect match.""S.hit!" Olivia cursed angrily, "She has no shame.""Logan Morgan has publicly acknowledged her as his daughter, and she now identifies herself as a member of the Morgan family," Allen Parker, still in his robe, browsed through the news on his iPad. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, as if he saw something unexpected.Olivia immediately put the phone on speaker, "Emily, I'm no
"Emily, I envy you so much. Mr. Satan is always so gentle and considerate towards you."Emily sighed and hinted at her, "Actually, perhaps you also have someone silently protecting you by your side. You should cherish the people around you.""Are you talking about yourself?" Olivia's voice still sounded very dejected. "Emily, you're so good to me. Allen Parker is just a bad guy!"Forget it, her hint failed.Ring ring—Olivia's phone vibrated again. She glanced at the caller ID and suddenly exclaimed, "Emily, I can't talk wit you. My dad is calling! I didn't go home last night, he's probably going to scold me. If he calls you, just tell him I was at your house last night, okay? Don't expose me, I have to hang up.""Okay..."Before Emily could speak, the call was disconnected.Emily looked at the screen of her phone and could only sigh deeply.Meanwhile, Allen Parker also let out a sigh.Satan's voice came from the phone, "Why are you sighing? Did you have an unpleasant time with Olivia
Emily, as the protagonist of this discussion, was oblivious to everything happening on the internet. Her phone and computer couldn't connect to the network. Feeling so bored, she decided to focus her energy on cooking.She hadn't cooked for Mr. Satan for many days. Today, she had plenty of time, so she planned to make a delicious meal for him.While she was still engrossed in preparing the steak, she felt a strong pair of arms wrap around her waist from behind.This embrace was all too familiar to her.Between her breaths, she could smell the pleasant minty fragrance emanating from him, but also... a faint smell of smoke?"You're smoking?" Emily placed the cake in the oven and waited quietly for its delicious blossoming."Yeah," Mr. Satan murmured softly, "I thought you'd be mad.""Because you're smoking?" Emily pointed at his chest with her finger. Her tone carried a hint of disapproval. "You better not smoke; it's not good for the baby. But I'm more curious about something else. Did
They hugged for a moment, and Satan couldn't hold back anymore.He was a normal man. Now their bodies were close together. Her breath sprayed on his neck, each breath seemed to tease his tense nerves.Emily also noticed and quickly pushed him away, "Do you want to go to the balcony to cool off a bit?"Satan bit her jelly-like lips impatiently, "Are you sure?""I'm not sure, but..." Emily gestured towards the "tent" in his crotch, "You can't stay like this all night, can you?"Of course, he knew he couldn't continue like this.He was about to lose control soon.He kissed her once and let her go, "I'm going to take a cold shower."Emily watched him walk into the bathroom and stood there holding the blanket, lost in thought for a moment.She had been married for four years, but only now could she truly understand what it felt like to be loved.Love wasn't expressed through words. Even if a man had never said "I love you," you would never doubt it. Because you were sure in your heart that
