"Noelle, Quentin wouldn't kill me, right? By the way, why did you give your tickets to Xyla?" Yvette continued to wail on the other end of the line.

Clutching her phone, Noelle stood frozen in place. So, he had given their tickets to Xyla? So, all that talk about not wanting to go to the concert and wanting to spend time alone with her, was all a lie?

She was a fool to think he cared. Noelle bit her lip hard, and her face lost all its color.

"Elle?" Quentin called out when he emerged from the bathroom, dressed in clean pajamas. He buttoned his shirt as he descended the stairs.

Looking up, he noticed the woman's pallid complexion, and he froze. "What's wrong?" His heart leaped into his throat as he walked up to her.

Noelle felt a dull ache in her chest, but she plastered a smile on her face. "You gave our tickets to Xyla, didn't you? So, all your talk about wanting to spend some quality time together was a lie, because you didn't have the tickets anymore!"

His eyes flickered for

    Zion worked in a private hospital located in the Utopia States. He pondered for a moment before answering. "Well, it depends on how they usually behave. For instance, are they perpetually in a somber mood? Are their minds clouded with negative thoughts? Are they unable to muster interest in anything? Did they give up on all their old hobbies? Do they spend their days doing nothing, staying inside, and just lying in bed?"Why are you asking? Are you depressed?"Quentin snapped, "Yeah, right!"Zion was rendered speechless. "How rude!" Quentin inquired, "What if that person still has all their hobbies, goes out a lot, and occasionally acts provocatively? Also, they only occasionally have suicidal tendencies. Could they be depressed?"Exasperated, Zion adjusted his glasses. "I believe you might've misunderstood me, Mr. Lowe. Let me put it this way; depression steals the light from a person's eyes. Their minds are filled with sadness and negative thoughts, and they prefer to be alone

    Lorraine called a designated driver to take Noelle's car and drive her back to her apartment. Noelle was in a hazy, drunken state. One minute she'd feel like she was going to throw up, and the next she'd be mumbling incoherently. She constantly shifted around and looked very uncomfortable.Lorraine held onto her to prevent her from falling to the ground. She was also afraid that Noelle would throw up on her. "Please don't throw up, Elle! If you really have to, do it on Quentin!"Lorraine thought about using a tissue to cover her mouth, but she felt that it would be too much. She regretted allowing her to drink so much in the first place. Eventually, they arrived at Noelle's apartment. Lorraine helped her out of the car. "Alright, alright, we're home now. If you want to throw up, now's the time."Quentin looked up in his Bentley and noticed Noelle's car approaching. He immediately opened the door and strode over. "Elle?" His deep, concerned voice made Lorraine stiffen.For some re

    Noelle slept soundly through the night and woke up to the enticing aroma of food. She sniffed the air and wondered where the aroma was coming from. It smelled like eggs benedict. Her appetite was instantly aroused.Then, she heard sizzling sounds coming from the kitchen. Noelle hurried downstairs and noticed a stall figure working in the kitchen. Quentin wore an apron and was deftly poaching eggs in simmering water. Noelle was a little surprised. When did he learn to make this? She had only ever tasted authentic eggs benedict like these in Southern City, where she watched the chef at a brunch spot expertly poach eggs and whip up hollandaise sauce to perfection.Soon, the food was ready. Quentin carefully plated it on an exquisite porcelain plate and brought it to the dining table. "Give it a try and see if you like it." He had gone out of his way to contact a friend in Southern City, who in turn got in touch with the chef from the brunch spot Noelle had posted on her social media

    The female doctor looked displeased. "I'm just an ordinary doctor, Ms. Cadwell! I don't have the clout to set up a meeting with the deputy director for you!"Xyla took off the diamond necklace around her neck. "Here, this is for you!" She couldn't help but give the doctor a withering look. "Just you wait. I'll make you cough up everything you've taken from me," she mused. The female doctor had had her eye on Xyla's necklace for a while now. Her face immediately lit up with a smile. "I just overheard the deputy director on a call. He has a business lunch at a restaurant later. Be sure to make the most of it!"With that, she left with the diamond necklace. The last time she sold Xyla's earrings, she got a handsome sum for them and bought a car for her daughter. This necklace should also be able to fetch a good price.As soon as the doctor left, Ava asked Xyla urgently, "Have you come up with a plan? If Quentin finds out you were pretending to be depressed, we'll be in for a world of

    Sawyer memorized her name. "Will you be here tomorrow?" Noelle nodded. His face lit up with a smile at that. Just then, a tall figure with a black umbrella walked over and stopped right in front of them, standing in their way.Sawyer didn't even spare him a glance and said, "Excuse me, sir!"Quentin paused for a moment before saying, "Elle, I'm here to take you home." He held himself back from yanking Sawyer aside.Noelle's brow drew together as she looked at the man who had suddenly appeared. Sawyer sized Quentin up. "Do you know him?"Noelle smiled. "His mom is a good friend of my mom."There was a time when she dreamed of him holding her hand, proudly announcing her identity to the world, and professing his love for her. Now, that dream had soured, and she didn't want anyone to know she was married.On one hand, it was because Quentin had slowly but surely ruined their relationship. On the other hand, when she walked into the library and saw so many of her peers studying

    Quentin let go of Noelle. He stuffed the umbrella into her hand before he started his search for the lost ring. It was a symbol of their marriage, and he didn't want to lose it. Fine rain drizzled down, leaving the ground wet and slick. Students filed out of the library, their footsteps mingling with the sound of passing vehicles. Quentin searched painstakingly and ultimately found the ring lying in a puddle. He hurried over and bent down to pick it up. Just then, a car zoomed by, hurling a cascade of muddy water over him. The noble and handsome man was instantly drenched and disheveled. Unbothered, Quentin clutched the ring with a bright smile on his face. He rose to his feet and hurried over to Noelle. He then took her hand and slid the ring back onto her finger. "Elle, please don't ever take it off again, okay? Just give me another chance; I'm begging you!" He pulled her into a tight embrace, holding her as if his very soul depended on it.His hair and body were drenched in

    "What would you like to eat?" Quentin asked as he walked out. Noelle answered, "Spaghetti!" He responded, "I'll make some for you."The couple arrived at the kitchen. He took a pot and filled it halfway with water under the faucet. Then, he poured flour onto the kitchen counter to make pasta dough. The flour was dusted all over the man. Quentin glanced at his now-flour-covered, brand-new loungewear and frowned. Her lips twitched. Noelle couldn't believe that he had made such a mess in the short time it took her to answer a phone call. Moreover, with that much flour, how many eggs would they need to make the pasta dough, and how much spaghetti were they planning to make? How long would this take them?Quentin, on the other hand, was still enthusiastically pouring flour onto the kitchen counter. He accidentally poured too much flour, so he started cracking open more eggs. Then, he added too many egg yolks, so he added more flour again.His fingers were now stuck in the dough,

    Quentin frowned, feeling uncomfortable. He raised his hand to loosen his tie, but it did nothing to alleviate the guilt and unease that had welled up within him.If Xyla really suffered from depression, then his actions would only make things worse for her. Moreover, he'd be letting down the spirit of his fallen hero. As he was tormented by anguish, a warm hand slipped into his palm and intertwined their fingers. Startled, he looked up and noticed a lovely young lady standing beside him. "What are you doing here?" His dark eyes lit up. Noelle smiled and said sarcastically, "I'm here to keep an eye on you, Mr. Lowe. If Xyla's EEG turns out fine, I bet you'd go soft on her."His eyes flickered. "I'd just feel a little guilty," he admitted. "After all, she is my hero's younger sister."Exasperated, she responded, "Being your hero's younger sister doesn't give her the right to lie."Quentin gazed at her in silence. If Xyla had truly lied, he couldn't bring himself to be harsh on he

    "Sorry, but if I ever get married, it definitely won't be to either of you."Noelle had originally come to visit Christian, but now she didn't feel like staying anymore. She was beyond frustrated.Christian's sharp, dangerous eyes narrowed in an instant, brimming with hostility as he locked his gaze on Noelle. Quentin's handsome face darkened as well, his mood turning stormy.Noelle spun around and walked out."We'll see about that," Quentin muttered, getting up to leave as well.As he passed by the clinic where Noelle worked, he cast a glance in that direction before heading out.Near the end of the workday, Russ called. "Ms. Xanthos, Mr. Xanthos has arranged for you to meet a boxing champion. Are you free now? I can take you to meet him."Noelle couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and bitterness. She had lived 24 years, and only now did he care about whether she had any self-defense skills. Isn't it a little late for that?Still, she went.After one session, she was dr

    Noelle quietly closed the door behind her. Leonard glanced over, saw it was her, and put away his phone. "He just fell asleep. Ms. Xanthos, you should head home and rest. I'll keep watch tonight," he said softly.Noelle shook her head. "He took the knife for me. How could I go home? I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. I'd rather stay here and keep an eye on him."She sat down on the couch, her gaze heavy with concern as she looked at Christian sleeping.Leonard nodded. "Alright, you stay here. I'll step out for a bit," he said before leaving the room.Noelle nodded.Christian's phone, sitting on the nightstand, pinged with a WhatsApp notification.Noelle walked over, picked up the phone, and saw a message from someone with the nickname "The Blomming Fifties.""What a flashy name," she thought with a faint smirk.But for some reason, curiosity tugged at her—she suddenly felt a strong urge to peek into Christian's private world as if she might uncover something hidden beneath t

    Noelle remained silent.In Dragfort, ever since Quentin had learned early that morning about Christian taking a knife for Noelle, he had locked himself in his office. It had been three hours now.The morning executive meeting was canceled, and his client appointments were rescheduled. Senior staff members who needed his signature on documents stood hesitating at the door, feeling the oppressive atmosphere even from outside the office.Department heads waiting to give their reports also lingered at the door, too intimidated to enter.In the end, they all turned their pleading eyes toward Martin.But even Martin was hesitant to go in.After all, he had witnessed the weight of Quentin's emotions—shock, frustration, and a deep sense of defeat—that had cast a heavy, oppressive mood over the office.Martin made a call to Dennis, knowing only he could possibly get through to Quentin now."Mr. Jackman, you need to come over," Martin said quietly, making sure to step into a quieter co

    Even though Christian was in obvious pain, he forced himself not to make a sound.Such a stubborn fool.The door knocked twice, and Leonard walked in. Seeing Noelle, he greeted her, "Ms. Xanthos."Noelle's eyes were red, but she didn't respond.Christian opened his eyes slightly and said, "Don't tell anyone I'm injured."Leonard nodded."Tell them I'm on a business trip," Christian added.Leonard raised an eyebrow, "Bro, with a wound like that, how long do you think this 'trip' will last before people catch on?"Christian shot him a cold glare, and Leonard quickly relented, "Okay, okay, I get it. I'll handle it."Christian closed his eyes again, waves of pain crashing over him like a relentless tide.Suddenly, he opened his eyes once more. "Silly girl."Noelle paused, her tear-filled eyes looking at him.A smile tugged at the corner of Christian's mouth. "Get out for a bit. You look terrible."Noelle's lips twitched as her damp lashes fluttered, and a surge of unexplainabl

    Just as the man raised the knife for a second strike, the security team arrived and swiftly pinned him down.Noelle heard a low grunt behind her, followed by Christian's pained chuckle. "Good thing it wasn't him."Noelle's heart clenched as she turned to see Christian, clutching his shoulder, slumped against her legs.He was wearing a beige coat, now stained with a large patch of blood around his shoulder.Christian was rushed to emergency surgery, but Noelle remained frozen in her chair, her mind replaying his words, "Good thing it wasn't him."Who wasn't it? Quentin?Why did he say that? Why did he act this way?The image of Christian's blood-soaked coat lingered in her mind. The wound—how deep was it?Noelle sat there, numb and lost in thought for an unknown period, until Michael appeared.He glanced at her through the doorway, but without a word, he continued walking past.A little while later, Kara gently patted her shoulder. "They've moved him to a room. You should go s

    Emmie smiled and placed a few more ravioli on Noelle's plate. "Then eat a little more. It's your mom's first time cooking, and once you're in the Utopia States, you won't have this."It wasn't like she had never cooked before—she had made instant noodles when she was alone.Noelle ate a small bowl of ravioli without pausing, her stomach now full and round. Her eyes welled up with tears, though whether it was from happiness or something else, no one could tell.After dinner, Noelle stayed for a bit before leaving.Emmie watched Noelle's car disappear down the driveway before finally going upstairs.Michael, leaning back on the bed, heard her soft footsteps approaching and lifted his eyelids.The bedroom was dark, and when Emmie stepped in, her gaze met Michael's dark, piercing eyes. She paused at the doorway, and he continued watching her."Lia must be blind. She couldn't tell if it was you or the driver," Emmie said coldly, walking straight to the other side of the bed and pulli

    Emmie was at a loss for words.Michael said, "Your daughter's leaving for the Utopia States soon. You should take this time to spend with her."Emmie's breath hitched. "Elle agreed?"Michael nodded. "Yes."It was the best way for Noelle to get away from those two men and focus on her own growth.After a night's rest, Noelle felt much better the next morning. Emmie called her, inviting her to Gentle Glades after work.What Noelle didn't expect was to see Michael there as well.He was lounging on the couch in casual clothes, flipping through a medical journal. Emmie, wearing an apron, seemed to be busy in the kitchen. When Noelle walked in, Emmie immediately came out."Elle!" Emmie's gentle face was filled with warmth as she took Noelle's hand.Noelle felt a bit disoriented.In her memory, Emmie's life was filled with books and work, never with the kitchen. And Michael—she hadn't seen him so relaxed and calm, casually reading a magazine on the couch, in over a decade.It felt

    Michael couldn't forget the look Elijah had given him that day—a mocking smile, full of meaning. Elijah slowly pulled back, revealing Emmie's curled-up body underneath him.Without a word, Michael opened his phone and pulled up a social media app. He tossed the phone to Emmie. "Take a look for yourself."Emmie looked down and saw a video posted by Elijah just minutes earlier. It was of her feeding him. She watched in disbelief, then replayed it. The account was undeniably Elijah's."Scroll down. There's more," Michael's voice drifted from the couch.Emmie's fingers moved down the screen, her peripheral vision catching a glimpse of Michael sitting with his legs crossed, taking a sip of coffee handed to him by the housekeeper.Further down, she found a photo posted by Elijah a month ago, showing her preparing his medicine. The footage seemed to be taken from security cameras.But none of these posts had appeared on her social media feed.She had never seen them on her phone.Mich

    Quentin didn't deny it.Noelle's chest tightened as she remembered that day in Ocean City when Christian had said Gillian deserved to be slapped. Now, it all made sense.At the time, she had sarcastically asked him if he would treat her the same way once he got tired of her.His response had been, "Do you think I'm tired of her, and that's why I did it?"Now she understood. Christian had known all along that it was Quentin who had called Gillian to Ocean City.A wave of frustration swelled in Noelle's chest. Her fingers clenched tightly as the memory of Christian's sweet words clashed with the thought of him being with Gillian. Bitterness gnawed at her.Just then, the door opened again, and a strong, steady figure entered. His gaze swept silently over the two men in the room before he walked straight to the bed."Elle?""Clement!" At the sight of him, Noelle's eyes brimmed with tears."Let's go home," Clement said as he turned and carefully lifted her onto his back. Noelle res
