"Do you even need to drive anymore? Haven't we arrived?" Liesel realized that she and Elijah had arrived at Heritage Hotel."Don't worry. We're just here to eat." Elijah parked the car. He finally let go of her hand so he could take out the car key. "Why would I be nervous?" That was unnecessary, and Elijah thought so as well. Liesel had been to many events, so there was no reason for her to be anxious about a small gathering. Elijah held her wrist and wanted to lead her out of the car.Liesel paused for a moment while staring at Elijah's face. She took out a packet of tissue from her bag and fished out one sheet before handing it to him. She said awkwardly, "You still have some lipstick on your lips. You should wipe it off before going inside."Although she wasn't wearing makeup, she had applied some lipstick. Their kissing earlier had left traces of her lipstick all over his lips.Elijah gazed at the tissue in Liesel's hand before looking at her. He didn't accept the tissue

The attendant couldn't help but look at Liesel. She was quite different while next to Jacob. She usually put on rather elaborate makeup when she was with him, making her seem rather unapproachable. However, the current Liesel was somewhat gentle and calm and did not seem aloof at all. There was no way she could have faked her elegance. One could only say that she had such natural beauty. The attendant went into a daze just by looking at Liesel. He then accidentally noticed Elijah's disdainful expression. His dark eyes were as cold as ice. The attendant came to his senses instantly and dared not to look at Liesel any longer. He looked downward and said respectfully, "Mr. Hardin. Ms. Sharp. This way, please."He led them to the private room Elijah usually booked. The attendant knocked twice on the door as a signal before pushing the door open. Once Elijah led Liesel inside, the attendant shut the door.Elijah and Liesel stood in front of the door and did not walk inside further.

Elijah was different from Jacob. If Elijah wasn't serious about Liesel, he wouldn't have brought her to meet his friends. If he weren't serious about her, he wouldn't have reminded Jimmy to be polite to her. That was as good as Elijah acknowledging Liesel as his partner. After all, he would never simply allow his friends to refer to Liesel without respect. Liesel couldn't help but look at Elijah, who was casually flipping through the menu. Seeming to have felt her gaze, he turned away from the menu to look at her. She suddenly met his gentle gaze, and her body felt numb all over. She hadn't imagined it this time. She stared for a long time, yet the tenderness in his gaze did not fade away.His gentle gaze was comforting, making it easy for Liesel to get lost in his eyes. It was nothing like his usual cheeky self.Liesel couldn't help but smile upon noticing the tenderness in his gaze. As she looked downward, her long, fluttering eyelashes made Elijah feel a tingling sensation i

Tobey nonchalantly snatched the cigarette from Jimmy. "No one's allowed to smoke in this room today." He even intentionally threw the cigarette far away. Jimmy laughed in exasperation. "Can't you be more compassionate? Am I not permitted to smoke just because I'm single?"Tobey poured red wine. He hummed in response before saying indifferently, "You can't."Jimmy became more frustrated and even wanted to take out his lighter to light a cigarette, which earned a glare from Elijah. "Liesel doesn't like the smell of cigarettes. Control yourself."Jimmy really did stop lighting his cigarette. It was rare to see such an uncertain expression on his face. He was slightly caught off guard by Elijah's words.As soon as Elijah entered the room earlier, he had mentioned that Liesel didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Jimmy clearly didn't think much of what Elijah said. "This… Fine!" Jimmy slowly put the lighter away. He wasn't an ignorant person. If Liesel didn't like the cigarette smell

Elijah was the main character tonight, so no one would force Liesel to drink. While she was allowed to have juice, the others wouldn't go easy on Elijah.Jimmy sounded bitter. "Someone finally wants Elijah. It hasn't been easy for him to remain single for so long."Jimmy's words made Elijah sound very innocent despite his rugged looks. Elijah cocked his head and gazed at Liesel with a twinkle in his eyes. "What do you think? Do you believe that innocent men don't suit you? Shouldn't you know best whether I'm pure?"Elijah was quite shameless. At first, he was rather innocent. He would only peck her on the lips and even ask for her consent first. After dating for some time, he had grown rather shameless. Liesel had no idea how long he had spent practicing his moves in his mind. No trace of his innocence remained.Elijah leaned against the back of his chair. He didn't seem focused at all, and his gaze was even somewhat playful. Jimmy was still complaining as he wanted Elijah to

Liesel wanted to use the washroom. However, since everyone else had done plenty of drinking, Jimmy was occupying the bathroom in the private room at that moment. Liesel informed Elijah that she wanted to use the bathroom outside. Although he drank a lot, there was no sign of him being drunk. His gaze still remained alert. "I'll go with you." Elijah set down his utensils and was about to get up. "No need." Liesel hurriedly held him back. "I don't need you to accompany me to the washroom. Do you still think I'm a child?"With that, she hurriedly left the room as if she was afraid Elijah would follow her. As soon as she left, the phone she left behind on the table rang. Elijah cast a glance at the phone number on the screen. It was so familiar that he could even recite each digit. He pursed his lips. His icy gaze was filled with mockery and hatred toward the phone number. He let the phone ring a few more times before swiping the screen to answer the call. He held the phone by h

Liesel continued, "If you knew I hadn't even entered the race yet or felt confident assembling my own model when I gave you that car, would it make you feel any better? Picture this—I spent my very first bonus entirely on that car, entirely on you. So tell me, why do you still think I owe you anything?"Why didn't she give Jacob the car she had customized herself?Was it because she didn't want to?No. It was because she cared too much about him.She had worried that the car she modified back then hadn't been thoroughly tested and might have safety issues. She was overly cautious.She cared so much that the timing of giving that car kept getting delayed. Delayed until...they divorced, and she gave it to Elijah.Looking back now, maybe that was a better outcome."Everything worked out fine, didn't it? We're divorced. I gave the car I modified to the man I truly love. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?"Liesel felt bored. She had no desire to keep talking to Jacob. She lo

Liesel's gaze flicked toward Jacob, who was standing close by, and a sneer curled on her lips. "You said you're not okay with this? Well, now you understand. You don't even deserve to feel that way."Liesel turned on her heel. She was ready to leave. Her gaze swept across the room, landing on Denzel, Alex, and the others.Alex leaned lazily against the wall. He'd had a drink but hadn't overindulged. His suit jacket was slung casually over one shoulder, and his rolled-up shirt sleeves revealed his well-defined forearms.His messy bangs didn't quite hide the sharp gleam in his eyes. His lips curved in a faint smirk as his gaze flicked briefly over Liesel.They were far too familiar with each other for formalities. He merely raised a brow in acknowledgment before shifting his attention to Natalie. He let out a mocking chuckle as he did.Denzel was still dressed in his usual suit, though without the jacket. In just a simple shirt and tailored trousers, he exuded a clean and composed d

"Shut up!" Ophelia yelled in a rage.She immediately asked the food truck owner to give her another cup of coffee before pouring it all over Veronica's calf.

Since she was little, he would always stand in front of her to protect her. Ophelia knew better than anyone how he liked to deal with matters.After Edward left, she had picked up a few things from him. Naturally, she would never let herself get bullied by others."Give me a serving of fries, a taco, some churros, and a hotdog."

Only then did she feel herself come back to l

Ophelia was so angry that she wanted to cuss at Edward. However, before she could even get mad, she heard Edward's disappointed voice. "Are you regretting this already?"Ophelia was dumbfounded. However, Edward continued slowly, "After giving it a lot of thought, you decided to abandon me. Is that it? I know I'm not good enough… I don't blame you…"Ophelia felt a headache coming on, but the anger had vanished. "No, I'm not thinking of abandoning you."The kiss yesterday had left her so excited that she hadn't slept a wink the entire night.She thought to herself, "If I don't set the record straight, Edward's going to overthink and paint me as a playgirl."She took a deep breath. "After you kissed me… I was really happy, so I only went to bed very late."Edward was obviously also caught off-guard. He hadn't expected to hear that. With delight in his eyes, he said, "I was also really happy that you let me kiss you."Ophelia hummed, and her face flushed red. "I'm really tired," she

Brandon didn't respond right away. Fred continued, "No one taught your mother and sister how to act appropriately in society. Mr. Ford is spending his precious time teaching them what to do and what not to do. Thus, they will have to suffer a bit for this."Mr. Zima, if you really want to help them, then just give your parents the bare minimum financial aid from time to time. As for your sister… you have no obligation to provide for her. Do you understand where I'm coming from?"Brandon couldn't accept it. "My sister's reputation in the industry isn't great right now. If I don't help her, then she really won't be able to survive. Mr. Ford is also an older brother. He should understand what I'm going through."Jacob loved Ophelia, and Brandon also naturally loved Yvonne. It was because of this that he wanted to try getting forgiveness from Ophelia.Fred raised his voice. "Ms. Ford is very warm and never treats people haughtily. She has never used her family background to bully oth

With a serious expression, Brandon rattled on about the various compensations for Ophelia. Fred nearly couldn't keep his facial expression under control.It seemed like everyone already knew that Ophelia was a huge fan of Chelsea's. It couldn't have been easy to think of such a compensation.The elevator arrived on the top floor, but Jacob still hadn't given his response. Therefore, Brandon hurried into his office behind Jacob and Fred. Finally, Jacob looked at him. "There is some sincerity to it."Firstly, a public apology to Ophelia on his company's Twitter account would clear her name. Secondly, the shares would be considered as financial compensation for the mental distress caused.The third form of compensation was the key point that convinced Jacob to look up. He thought that it was too difficult for Ophelia to fight for concert tickets and produce fan merchandise herself. Now that there was someone readily available to do it, Ophelia wouldn't have to work so hard.This pers

However, they didn't know that Jacob was the one who was truly wicked.In his youth, he had once been kidnapped because one of the medicines that the Ford family manufactured had threatened to undermine the profits of others. During that time, he'd suffered through endless torment.When he was rescued, his personality had turned ruthless.Although he could be monstrous, he placed great importance on his family and friends. And, Ophelia was his beloved little sister.How could he let Yvonne off the hook for scheming against Ophelia? He had to teach Yvonne that the world could be a harsh place.Not only was Yvonne stupid, but she was also very unfortunate.At first, Jacob could still tolerate how Yvonne had used Ophelia. He had just planned to give her a small taste of her medicine and stop there. However, Veronica had decided on her own accor

Vincent's expression turned cold. He wanted to kick her out of the house, but suddenly, Jacob's cold voice sounded from afar."Since our family is powerful and influential, why should we swallow our anger and surfer in silence?"Jacob had left a document at home, but because his assistant, Fred Foreman, didn't know where it was kept, he had to come home himself to get it. Unexpectedly, he overheard Veronica's haughty words when he returned.Well, a woman who was only pretending to be wealthy in a remote place was now acting superior in his home. Who would allow that to happen?All these years, Veronica had never been defied by someone younger than her before. Because she was much older, she considered herself superior. She didn't care if one was the heir to the family or the eldest son of the main family. At that moment, Jacob's words had made her rage boil over."Look! Look at the children that the Ford family has produced!"Jacob raised an eyebrow. He massaged the spot betwee

Edward chuckled quietly in her ear. "Where do you want to go tomorrow, Ophelia? Should I take you on an overseas getaway? Or perhaps, we could take a stroll nearby and watch a movie.""I can't go overseas; I'm not on break yet. Let's go watch a movie," Ophelia replied. "I've only watched a movie with you as my brother. This time, I want to try watching a movie with you as my boyfriend."Although Edward was still the same person, his identity had changed.She could now touch Edward openly. She could hold his hand, hug him, and kiss him.It was… really great."Alright, get some rest today. I'll come pick you up tomorrow," Edward said.Ophelia nodded and walked him to the door. As soon as she shut the door, she pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart thudding rapidly from the kiss earlier.She hopped into bed and rolled from side to side.After Edward got into his car, he finally let out a loud laugh. He pressed his fingers to his lips, reminiscing about the aftertaste sh

As their tongues intertwined, Edward could taste a sweet and sour flavor on Ophelia's tongue. It tasted like she just had a piece of strawberry candy that made her entire mouth taste sweet.Even her breath smelled like this refreshing and saccharine fruity scent. It was as if she was enticing him to take a bite of her and swallow her.The more they kissed, the more forceful Edward got. The air around them felt syrupy and intimate."Are you sure you really have never dated before? Am I really your first? If I am… then why are you so good at kissing?" she asked like it was an interrogation.She didn't know how to kiss and was very inexperienced. However, Edward had practically conquered her. He kissed her until her knees went weak.At the thought of Edward doing this to another woman, her chest began to ache terribly.Edward played with her hair, which had become messy from the kissing. "Like I said, you're all I dream about. I don't even know how many times I've kissed you in my d

"How would you know that I also didn't have the same kind of thoughts when you secretly kissed me all those years ago?"You said that I was born in a tall tower, but I didn't get to choose my background. Meanwhile, you have climbed your way up to where I am to be with me."In ancient times, we would have been innocent and carefree childhood sweethearts. We would've been considered a match made in heaven."Edward, what I'm saying is the truth." Ophelia said each word solemnly. She stared unblinkingly at Edward as she spoke. "While you were struggling with these emotions, who said I was not struggling too?"However, I just couldn't forget you. I couldn't accept a future without you. What I wanted was to have you by my side. I wish you were my lover, and I want to be with you, Edward Ford."Her response was firm and resolute. It echoed with conviction.At the same time, she seemed to be giving her answer to the Edward who had been hiding his feelings in fear and panic for many y
