Xyla ended the call angrily. When she turned around and noticed Eugene sprawled on the floor, she frowned and called Gabriel again. "Help me get rid of Eugene, and I promise that once I return to Quentin's side, I'll make sure you get what you want!"

Gabriel had already begun to regret the harsh tone he'd used with Xyla. After all, she was no pushover; she might actually find a way to return to Quentin's side. Hence, he responded lowly, "This is your last chance, Xyla. If I don't see results within a month, you're dead meat!"

Xyla was well aware that he meant business. She tightened her grip on her phone.

After Gabriel's men took Eugene away, she left her apartment. She watched Quentin emerge from his company building, get into his car, and drive to Restaurant Blanc. There, he got out of his car and walked into the restaurant with a few clients.

All the while, Xyla clutched something tightly in her hand. She wanted to spike Quentin's drink with an aphrodisiac and show up when it

    Noelle's cheeks turned bright red as she realized what he was talking about. "I don't know! I didn't count!" Truth was, they hadn't done it since she had moved back in. Noelle tried to back away but had nowhere to go, so she sat on the edge of the nightstand, knocking over the vase behind her. Quentin continued, "I know. It's been a month and three days." He placed his hands on the nightstand and bent down to kiss her neck.Noelle felt the temperature in the room rise. While avoiding his kisses, she said, "I still need to study later. If you drain all of my energy now, I'm going to fail my exams!""I'll move; you can just lie there," he murmured. Noelle protested, "I don't want to do it!" Quentin insisted, "Yes, you do!"Despite her protests, he scooped her up and laid her on the bed. After a tempest of passion, Noelle was so exhausted she couldn't even get up. Quentin carried her to the shower, and after a quick wash, she drifted off to sleep. He joined her, wrapping his ar

    Noelle smiled at Quentin and continued to eat without saying a word.…Soon, it was lunchtime the next day. Quentin made a special trip back home to have lunch with Noelle, as she had her postgraduate entrance exam the following day. Worried that she might be nervous, he had been spending as much time as possible at home with her over the last few days. While she studied, he worked. Halfway through lunch, his phone rang. He answered it, and whatever he heard made his expression darken. He also stiffened, as if an unexpected frost had settled over him. After hanging up, Quentin shifted his deep gaze toward Noelle and said, "Xyla has leukemia, Elle." Noelle froze, and the cutlery she was holding clattered to the table. "I'm going to the hospital, but I'll be back soon!" Quentin rose from his seat, giving her shoulder a reassuring squeeze before heading out. Noelle took a deep breath. She knew all too well that her marriage was about to be thrown into disarray again. She decided

    As soon as Noelle woke up in the morning, she called Quentin. He said he'd be there for her whole exam, but it didn't look like he could make it now. Nevertheless, she still held out a glimmer of hope."My exams are coming up soon, Quentin. Could you come along with me?" she asked, feeling a little nervous. Noelle really wanted him to be there for her. Plus, the traffic would be horrible that day, and she wasn't a very good driver. She hoped he could give her a ride.Quentin glanced at the patient in the ICU, hooked up to all sorts of machines, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Elle, but I can't go with you right now. I'll ask Martin to take you."Disappointment surged within Noelle. She really wanted to tell him that she was his wife and that he should be here with her right now. Yet, she knew better than to compete with someone who was battling a terminal illness."Okay," she choked out. Noelle packed her belongings, and Martin showed up in no time. Right before she headed out

    Noelle was shaking like a leaf when she called Quentin, but he didn't pick up. "Elle?" Just then, a familiar voice sounded. Noelle looked up and noticed John striding toward her. Tears immediately trickled down her cheeks. "Johnnie, I've lost my ID. I can't sit for the exam…" Unable to hold it in anymore, she broke down in tears.John frowned. He walked over, pulled her into his arms, and patted her back comfortingly. "Don't worry, I'll figure something out."He glanced at his wristwatch. There were only ten minutes left before the exam. There was a police station right next to the university. "We should be fine," he surmised. John immediately turned around and stopped a motorcyclist. "Could we borrow your motorcycle for a bit, sir? We need to get a replacement ID. Here, take mine." He handed over his ID as collateral. The motorcyclist was a parent who was here to drop off their child for the exam. He understood the urgency of the situation and felt for them. He accepted John

    Tears welled up in Noelle's eyes when she thought about what had happened in the morning. John said softly, "Don't worry about it. It wasn't a big deal. If something like that happens again, remember to stay calm, okay?"He recalled the state she was in when he arrived; she was crying her eyes out, covered in mud, and asking everyone who walked by for her ID. It broke his heart to see her like that."I will." Noelle nodded, her eyes glistening with tears. "Elle!" Quentin called out from a distance, his expression grim.Noelle turned around and noticed him, though she had no idea when he had arrived. Quentin demanded, "Come here!"She didn't budge, her eyes glinting with disdain and tears. "Quentin Lowe, you weren't around when I needed you most. So, why are you here now?" Noticing the hatred in her eyes, he frowned and softened his tone. "Elle, I get that you're upset at me because I wasn't there for your exam, but I'm still your husband; shouldn't you be standing by my side

    "Elle!" John called out, his breath hitching in his throat. However, Noelle had already walked over to the Bentley. She yanked open the rear door and climbed in. John watched the Bentley disappear into the distance. For a moment, he struggled to catch his breath. In a fit of rage, he slammed his fist into the car window.Meanwhile, Quentin called Martin as he drove. "I need an RV for Noelle's lunch break." Then, he hung up the phone.He drove straight to a restaurant outside Dragfort University but couldn't find a parking spot. He then drove back to Dragfort University, parked outside the exam hall, and ordered food from Restaurant Blanc.Lunch break was short, so he couldn't waste it on the road. After hanging up the phone, Quentin opened the rear car door and climbed inside with a steely expression. "I'll be here for you for the rest of your exams, so you don't need to look for John!"He felt his blood boil when he thought about her holding that cup of hot chocolate John gave h

    When Quentin carried Noelle into the RV, she opened her eyes but didn't say a word. His gaze was gentle as he set her down on the bed and said softly, "I'm sorry, Elle. It's my fault for not being there for you when you needed me most."Noelle ignored him. He had apologized so many times that his words had lost their meaning. Turning away from him, she looked out the window and refused to acknowledge him.Quentin only noticed the dried mud on her down jacket at that moment. His heart ached again, as if he could picture her scrambling to find her ID on the ground. He called Martin. "Get me a women's down jacket in the smallest size you can find!"After hanging up the phone, his forehead creased as he gazed at her back with a deep, sorrowful look. He could only imagine how terrified she must have been.The staff from Restaurant Blanc delivered the food. Quentin brought it over to the table in the RV. "Since you're awake, come have something to eat," he said softly.Noelle snapped, "

    Noelle sneered, as she couldn't understand why so many girls were so easily impressed by such superficial gestures. "Since you've achieved your goal, you can go now, Mr. Lowe," she said sharply, descending the stairs.Quentin was at a loss for words. He couldn't believe she'd think he was just putting on a show. It felt like a punch to the gut."Elle!" He caught up to her and seized her arm, forcing her to stop in her tracks and face him. "Elle, I swear that I'm doing this from the heart! None of this is just for show!"Noelle didn't want to hear it. Her brows knitted as she tried to pull away, but she couldn't break free. In the end, he scooped her up and carried her back to the RV.Quentin laid her on the bed and bent down to take off her shoes. "You must be exhausted after a whole day of exams. Lie down and get some rest!" He then poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. "Here, have some water!"He acted as if he was a devoted husband tending to his wife. Yet, his kind

    "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
