The restaurant was perched alongside the river in North District, facing a skyline of glittering skyscrapers with their dazzling light displays. They were seated at a prime window table with an unmatched view of the city.As the waiter brought their menus, William explained, "They're known for their contemporary Asian fusion here. Feel free to order whatever catches your eye."Kaylee scanned the menu, which featured both traditional and modern spicy dishes. She remembered dining at a similar restaurant with Alex once. The moment she'd started ordering, he'd yanked the menu from her hands with a sneer, "You obviously don't know fine dining. These dishes are completely tasteless - no one with class would order them."That experience had shattered her confidence in ordering for months afterward.Noticing her hesitation, William suggested, "How about their signature spicy beef? It's a house specialty.""I seem to always order that...""Having a go-to dish at every restaurant is a goo

Kaylee had never paid attention to economic trends, wealth rankings, or prominent business figures in the country.Wendy's father was a renowned corporate lawyer who dealt with the nation's elite and wealthy. Growing up in this environment, Wendy knew all about the legendary figures in these circles. Among them, William Morgan stood out as particularly remarkable.Kaylee couldn't understand what Wendy meant by "being deceived." "What would anyone gain by tricking me?""He could be an impersonator. Are you sure he's really Alex's uncle? Did Alex confirm this, or did you just take his word for it?" Wendy fired off questions rapidly.Simply put, she doubted this man was actually William Morgan. According to rumors, while William wasn't completely detached from human emotions, he certainly wasn't the type to casually drive someone home."He's been staying at the Morgan mansion with me these past few days, and... he signed the consent forms for his mother's surgery today. There's no mi

"But he took it on..." Kaylee knew this because the outcome was clear to everyone - William was now the head of the Morgan family. Even after Victoria had scolded him yesterday, she still had to apologize later."Exactly. My dad says his company's board members all opposed it, but William used his own money to save the Morgans. Dad calls it the only unsolved mystery about William - why he'd rescue a family that had treated him so ordinarily," Wendy said, mimicking her father's tone.The two girls lay on the same bed, with Kaylee scrolling through her phone as she asked, "Could it be that the Morgans were actually good to him, but others just didn't know about it?""Good? Hell no. His father's first wife died early, and his marriage to William's mom was basically a middle-aged arrangement without much love. His mom was almost forty when she had William, and soon after his birth, mother and son moved abroad, rarely returning," Wendy explained, leaning closer to whisper, "I heard Willi

After that day, Henry's only prayer was for Alex and Kaylee's relationship to work out - for them to date, marry, and live happily ever after. If that day came, he'd give them the biggest wedding gift ever, even if he wasn't invited. Not for their sake, but in hopes that William's love-struck brain wouldn't be awakened again.Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.Just as Henry's mind wandered, William asked from his desk, "How's the investigation into the bar incident going?"That night William was injured, Henry had invited him to dinner. Their car suddenly got a flat tire, and two vans surrounded them trying to kidnap William. He was injured in the fight and had to take shelter in a crowded bar nearby."We've tried everything. Those guys truly knew nothing. The money trail went overseas and disappeared. The most suspicious was that curly-haired man on the security footage - might've been wearing a wig. No other cameras caught him," Henry reported everything he'd found.To

Meanwhile Wendy wanted to shop for some new outfits.As the daughter of a top lawyer who charged by the minute, Wendy naturally headed to North City's most exclusive luxury shopping district, lined with high-end flagship stores.Before she could decide which store to visit, a familiar car pulled up in front of a famous luxury boutique. Alex and Lucy stepped out, with Lucy clinging affectionately to his arm as they entered the store."This jerk Alex! He was so stingy with you back then, but now he's buying luxury goods for Lucy? Let's go see what they're getting!" Wendy pulled Kaylee toward the store."Don't bother - I was the one who always refused gifts," Kaylee explained. Throughout their relationship, she'd turned down most of Alex's gifts except for birthday presents. The reason was simple she couldn't afford to give gifts in return, even at a tenth of the price. Eventually, Alex had stopped offering except on her birthday."Well, I wanted to check out this store anyway!" Wend

Wendy and Kaylee had been classmates since childhood, so naturally, they both knew Alex. Alex took a moment to distinguish the voice before quickly recognizing it as Wendy’s! He strode over and immediately spotted Kaylee sitting on the sofa. Lucy followed behind him. She knew Wendy. She also knew that Wendy’s father was a lawyer. Wendy stood up from the sofa, her expression cold. "Some men are truly shameless. Back in the day, Kaylee was the prettiest and most popular girl in campus, and there was a whole line of people waiting to chase after her. But you? You played the ‘just a friend’ card to keep her from dating anyone, and then what? You two ended up dating, only for you to cheat on her every other day. Honestly, why are men like this? Is it really that hard to keep your third leg in check?" Alex’s face darkened. "I never cheated on Kaylee when we were together." Kaylee had no intention of digging up the past with Alex, but hearing that, she couldn’t help but

He could play the bigger person and admit his wrongs, but she'd never be allowed to get one over on him."Alex, you’re such a f—" "Wendy!" Kaylee quickly grabbed Wendy’s arm. She only cursed when she was truly furious. "I’ve already moved out of the Morgan family. We won’t be seeing each other again. Let’s just leave it at that." Kaylee didn't want to waste any more words on Alex. She was worried Wendy might say something she'd regret in her anger. While Alex himself wasn't particularly capable, the Morgan family had William. Blood was thicker than water. If William decided to step in and defend Alex, it would only cause trouble for Wendy. Kaylee wasn't afraid of trouble for herself, but she couldn't let her best friend get caught up in it. With that, the dramatic scene finally came to an end. Wendy still picked out two outfits and two pairs of shoes from the store before they left. Once outside, she handed a shoebox to Kaylee. "This is for you." "Huh?

It was already past nine in the evening.The area around Honor Medical Center was either filled with upscale residential complexes with few residents or half-abandoned old neighborhoods - there weren't many people around.The occasional passerby showed no interest in helping.Kaylee had an instinctive fear of Andrew. She had struggled until she was exhausted, and now she simply stood there, frozen."I'm really sorry to disappoint you, but while I did date Alex for a few years, he made it clear he couldn't marry me because I'm the daughter of a gambler, a drunk, a housekeeper. He's marrying another young lady from his social class."Kaylee's voice was weak. Even though she'd moved on, bringing it up still felt like reopening an old wound."Bullshit! Don't try to fool me!" Andrew cursed. "I've done my research - you're the one he's marrying. You're about to get engaged. Listen here, if he doesn't pay up, I'll make a scene at their house!""Go ahead," Kaylee gave up struggling. "

What a coincidence... The day before Lynn returned to the country, William had asked Kaylee to stay by his side as his girlfriend. The next day, he flew to South City.If Susanne wasn't lying, then Lynn had arrived in South City that very same day. Susanne sighed, "Your mother and I were very close back in the day. I truly want you to be happy. Unfortunately, I didn't raise my son well, and he hurt you. If you ever need anything, you can always come to me."Kaylee watched as Susanne left. William had arranged a car to pick her up—it was parked right outside the hospital. But instead of leaving, she found a shaded bench and sat down.Taking out her phone, she searched for "Lynn Watson" on social media. Soon, she found a barely noticeable news article—famous jewelry designer Lynn Watson had returned to the country. The accompanying photo, taken at the airport, was posted on Tuesday.Judging by the background, it was exactly the kind of commercial building that Dr. Henderson had m

"Susanne, I performed two surgeries overnight yesterday, standing for over ten hours. I'm really exhausted right now," Kaylee explained seriously. "My work keeps me incredibly busy—I really don't have the time or energy to think about these things.""Oh, no matter how busy you are, you can't neglect your lifelong happiness. This young man is truly outstanding—he's around your age, good-looking, academically excellent, and even studied abroad. I've heard he's never had a girlfriend before."As Susanne mentioned that last detail, her tone lifted slightly.Never had a girlfriend before.To Kaylee, that was a red flag—there was a good chance this guy simply didn’t like women.She had a friend in college who was tricked into a marriage like that. The man had an impeccable background—successful, attractive, and in his thirties, yet he'd never dated anyone before. At the time, her friend thought she had found the perfect husband, a blessing from the heavens.Only after marriage did she

In some remote mountainous areas, tents were still necessary, and taking a bath was even more challenging."It was his own request. He said that after so many years abroad, he wanted to start by applying what he had learned to small tasks within his ability."The director of the medical department spoke these words with obvious pride. Kaylee had yet to meet Mason, but she already had a good impression of him.After the director left, Kaylee changed her clothes, preparing to go off duty. As she passed through the outpatient hall, curiosity got the better of her. She went upstairs to check Lucy's examination results in the system.According to the doctor's report, the baby was indeed slightly larger than average, and a fetal heartbeat was already present. However, the size difference was not significant.Kaylee curiously asked, "For a gestational sac of this size, what is the normal gestational age?"The doctor replied, "It varies for each person. Normally, a fetal heartbeat appear

The scene from yesterday flashed through Kaylee's mind. Ignoring Lucy's gaze, she sincerely congratulated Alex, "Congratulations, Mr. Morgan.""Thank you.""I won't disturb you two any longer. I'll get back to work now." With a slight nod, Kaylee turned and left.She had been by Alex's side for twenty years, four of which she spent as his girlfriend. She had cared for him meticulously—staying up all night to bring down his fever when he was sick, changing his clothes and sheets when he drank too much and vomited all over his bed.Beyond the gratitude she owed to the Morgan family, she had genuine feelings for Alex as a person.And yet, she had watched him lie to her face time and time again. Now, he was engaged, and his fiancée was pregnant. The most ridiculous part? The child wasn't even his. She wondered if this counted as karma.Kaylee went to the cafeteria for lunch. When she took the elevator up to the sixth floor, she ran into Alex again. He was holding a stack of rec

"No need, I'll just stay in my room."Kaylee quickly interrupted him, breaking free from his embrace as she spoke.William didn’t stop her. Instead, he stood up with her and said, "Alright, I'll walk you to the door."Kaylee practically ran back to her room.In the bathroom, she removed her makeup meticulously. Even after washing her face, her reflection in the mirror showed her cheeks still burning as if she had a fever.The next day.That evening, after returning to North City, Kaylee realized William had not come home.Only then did she fully understand—he wasn't joking.He was truly giving her a week to decide.Two days later, while working a night shift, Kaylee wanted to review her meeting notes from a few days ago. Only then did she remember that she had left her notebook in Emma’s room while doing her makeup.After contacting Emma, they arranged for Kaylee to pick it up at the hospital after her shift.Since Emma was also working, they didn’t chat much. Kaylee grabbed

Kaylee's face burned so hotly it felt like she had a fever. She shook her head lightly. "No, Alex is just used to having me around to take care of him. I... I and he..."Before she could finish,William suddenly sat up, placing a firm hand under her legs and lifting her directly into his arms!His clothing was thin—so thin that she could clearly sense his "raging emotions" in that moment."I'll give you one week."William's hand hovered lightly around her waist as he spoke.Kaylee dared not move, allowing him to hold her. The strong scent of alcohol surrounded her, and her heart raced. Even though she hadn't touched a drop, she felt as if she were intoxicated."You will stay by my side as my girlfriend for one year. If after that time you still think I'm deceiving you, treating you as someone else's substitute, you may leave. I won't stop you."As he spoke, his gaze remained locked on her, carefully observing her reaction.His actions had already crossed a boundary in their rela

Kaylee remained seated where she was, not moving. W’illiams clothes were too thin, and coupled with the strong scent of alcohol - although some of it had been splashed on his clothes, he had indeed been drinking.The two of them were alone in the room, and one of them had been drinking..."I've said before, I'm not so immoral as to force anyone," William interlaced his fingers, a gesture indicating his stance on the matter.Of course, Kaylee knew he wouldn't force her. What she feared was... losing control herself.Everything about William was perfect - his physique, personality, intellect, sense of responsibility. He embodied all the qualities of her ideal partner.She was afraid that if she got too close to him, she would abandon all her principles. She would indulge in foolish fantasies...Seeing that she hadn't budged an inch, William got up slightly and leaned over towards her. If she wasn't coming to him, then he would go to her.The smell of alcohol on him was intense.

"Mr. Morgan,” Kaylee met William’s dark eyes, "I didn't abandon you, I...""What, I remember you weren't good at lying, but I never thought you'd even practice your lying skills in front of me..." William's obsidian gaze studied the woman before him intently. "Then use that skill on me, trick me, for example...""Mr. Morgan!” Kaylee couldn't take it anymore and finally interrupted him.She even felt sorry for William. She bit her lip hard, taking a long time before saying, "Mr. Morgan, look at me. I'm Kaylee Lawson, not Lynn Watson.”When she mentioned Lynn’s name, William's hand that had been gripping her chin abruptly let go. The hint of drunkenness on his face vanished completely as he leisurely started putting his robe back on.Kaylee was a bit confused. What did this mean? Was William upset because she brought up Lynn? Well, that made sense... Lynn was probably the one thing he couldn't bear to talk about...Just as Kaylee was about to apologize..."Just as I thought, it wa
Silent Devotion: The Billionaire's Patient Love Chapter 92
Kaylee only then noticed the strong scent of alcohol permeating the entire room. William seemed to be drinking liquor at the moment, the aroma in the room was the typical fragrance of red wine...It appeared that during this time, he must have consumed more than one type of alcohol in the room. Or perhaps... someone else had been here recently, drinking with him.Kaylee tried her best to view the situation with a normal mindset. Given William's status and appearance, as long as he was willing, countless women would eagerly jump into his bed without him even having to ask.And for someone of his stature to be willing to pretend to be her boyfriend to help her out - that was something she could only dream of. Moreover, with Andrew’s situation... she really had no better way to resolve it."What are you standing there for?" William rubbed his temples. "If you think it's not suitable here, then let's go to the bed.""No need, here is fine," Kaylee hurriedly interjected. "Your wound ha
