Blake said, "Ah... Liam, I'm finished!"Blake pressed her forehead against Liam's chest. He was slightly surprised and smiled faintly, "Calm down. Take your time, and tell me what's wrong."He raised his hand to check the time, "Have you had breakfast?"Blake responded, "I can't eat anything right now."Liam said, "I'll take you home. You can tell me what's wrong in the car."In the early morning, the frost on the side of the road of Eternal Seasons had not melted. Liam draped the checkered scarf on his arm over Blake's neck as he lowered his eyes. His long lashes flickered slightly, "It's cold in the morning. Let's get into the car."Liam held her hand, leading her to the parked car.He opened the front passenger seat door, and Blake got in. Liam then sat in the driver's seat and fastened the seat belt for Blake.He drove the car very steadily, as there were no bumps on the road. He said, "I'm sorry for troubling you last night."If you don't mind, can you tell me what happen
Blake pondered, 'When Madelyn left, she had blood on her body. Could it be that the blood wasn't hers but Mr. Jardin's?'The officer asked, "Ms. Dion, is there anything else you want to say?"Blake pursed her lips. She thought of Liam and asked, "Can I talk to my friend for a moment?""Until your suspicion is cleared, neither you nor your friend can leave unless someone can vouch that this has nothing to do with you two," the officer responded.The only person Blake could think of who could help them was Kevin.Blake believed only Kevin knew exactly what happened in the room at that time.She did not expect to end up dragging Liam into this.She called Kevin. After half a minute of ringing, he still did not answer the call.Blake persistently dialed over and over again.Finally, when she called, she was notified that Kevin's phone was switched off.She thought, 'Kevin must think that Mr. Jardin's injury was related to me, so he doesn't want to see me now.'Feeling disappoint
After that, Olivia angrily left.Liam waited from morning until evening, watching the sun gradually set.Finally, the female police officer could not take it anymore and approached Liam, trying to persuade him, "Mr. Xander, it's not ideal for you to keep waiting here. Your girlfriend is actually very worried about your health. For her sake, you should go back."With a faint smile, Liam shook his head, "I'm fine."The office said, "You should go home. Sigh, fine! At least eat something."After a while, the officer brought a piece of bread and a cup of warm water and placed them beside him.He held the cup of water, his cold fingers feeling the warmth.Under the gloomy sky, Liam lowered his eyes. In the next moment, he felt a hint of coldness on his eyelashes; a crystal-clear snowflake hung on them.Liam blinked before looking up at the streetlights and watching the snowfall.When the water in his hand turned cold, he put it down.Then, he grabbed his phone and made a call. He
Blake got into Liam's car.In a black car also parked outside the police station, Kevin's gaze was intense as he watched the other car depart. He also saw Blake holding Liam's hand just now.Sitting in the front passenger seat, Susan looked at Kevin, who did not look happy. She sheepishly asked, "Mr. Harrison, it seems like Blake is fine now. Do we still need to go inside?"Even though it was something that could have been resolved with just a phone call, Kevin unexpectedly made the trip himself.Susan thought, 'Mr. Jardin is critically injured, and the company is in a chaotic situation. Yet, Mr. Harrison is still willing to make time to check on Blake.'Kevin looked cold, stepped on the accelerator, and left the police station.Blake had not slept all night. She sat with her eyes closed in the front passenger seat and soon fell asleep.Liam slowed down the car. He carefully carried her from the passenger seat when they arrived at the apartment building.Back at his place, Blak
Blake walked out of the room with her phone. She had unknowingly felt more and more familiar with this once unfamiliar place, almost treating it like her own home. After she left the room, she did not forget to close the door, "Liam, I need to go to the company after eating. Mr. Harrison may have some arrangements."Liam served her a bowl of chicken soup, "I already took the day off for you in the morning. Finish your meal, and later we can go to the company together. There's still time."Blake replied, "Okay."After finishing the meal, Blake went to change her clothes before going to the company in Liam's car.After arriving at the parking lot of the company building, Blake went straight to the office. Without hesitation, she walked to Kevin's office. She stood at the door and decided to knock before going in.Kevin said, "Come in."There were not many people in the secretary department office now; only a few of them were working. Zach had just held his wedding and allowed every
Kevin stopped the pen he was twirling and leaned back in his chair. His gaze was icy, "Hand me the transfer documents in ten minutes, and I'll sign them.""Sure." Blake turned around and left, forcefully closing the door behind her. There were only a few people working overtime in the office. In less than ten minutes, she had printed the documents and tossed them in front of Kevin.He signed his name and said, "Handle the handover of your work yourself. I'll notify the HR department. Starting tomorrow, report downstairs."As if deliberately venting her anger, Blake said, "No need to wait until tomorrow. I'll go right now."Kevin flipped through the documents in his hands. Without looking at Blake, he said, "You may leave. Remember to close the door."Blake left without closing the door intentionally. Coincidentally, she bumped into Susan, who was going to Kevin's office. She looked at Blake provocatively as if saying she was glad that Blake finally left.Blake did not back down;
Suddenly, Blake's phone was flooded with notifications from her group chat.[Breaking news! It's bad. Today, someone from HR leaked the information that Mr. Harrison is resigning. Even the HR manager doesn't dare to approve it.][What? Mr. Harrison is resigning? Oh no, my idol is leaving? If he leaves, other women out there will have the chance to pursue him. So annoying. What should I do to keep my man?][Since when did Mr. Harrison become your man? Clearly, he's my husband!][I'm not like some people who change their minds all the time. Weren't you into Mr. Jardin? Why are you stooping to steal my man?][He's married. But going back to the point, will Jardin Corporation shut down soon? Mr. Harrison is actually resigning! My goodness, I can't even imagine.]***Liam returned to his office from a meeting with the editors. He saw Blake, who was troubled and constantly making calls. Concerned, Liam approached and asked, "Who are you calling? Is it very urgent?"Blake kept hearing
Blake felt disappointed.Kevin said, "After I leave, the position is yours. With Cecilia looking after you, you can do whatever you want in the company. No one will dare tell you what to do."Blake met his gaze and asked, "What do you mean? What do you mean by saying the position is mine? Kevin, what are you planning? Are you using me again?"Kevin stared at her for a long time. Suddenly, he saw an incoming call displayed on the car's screen. He said, "Don't overthink it. I'll be going abroad for a while. The company's affairs are none of my business anymore. Get out of the car now."Blake saw that the incoming call was from Audrey. Her heart sank. She was irritated and wanted to curse.She wanted to know what plans he still had that she was not aware of.She thought, 'But who am I to question him?'Then, she got out of the car. After the car drove away, Liam walked over to her and asked, "Are you okay?"Blake shook her head, "I'm fine."In the following week, Blake did not se
Liam was standing in the rain, and though it hadn't been long, he was thoroughly drenched.Blake quickly pulled him close, her voice laced with concern. "Are you crazy? It's pouring rain! What if you catch a cold?"Liam's look was subdued, his face showing signs of fatigue. "I'm okay. This is for you; I didn't want you to have to come out in this weather."As Blake took in his forlorn appearance, her heart softened suddenly. 'Am I losing my mind?' she thought."Now you'll have to pay more attention to me, Blake... I was just so scared of losing you. I've put everything I have into getting you to agree to marry me; the idea of you walking away is unbearable."Overwhelmed with emotion, Blake locked eyes with him. "Did she teach you to say that too?" she asked, her hand moving on its own to brush away the raindrops from his hair.A maid nearby, observing the scene, rushed over with a blanket and an umbrella. However, Grace, fully grasping the gravity of the moment, halted her. Ackno
Cecilia said, "It's fine. Let's give them a week. Rearrange the flight and all the plans for the trip. This is Blake's first time getting married and going abroad for honeymoon. I want to make sure she has a good time."Susan nodded. "Okay, Ms. Samford."Not long after Cecilia left, three editors who used to work for Olivia's company entered her office. All of them spoke in panic, "Ms. Blue, what should we do? Ms. Samford already knows everything. If the legal department finds out about it, will we go to jail?"Olivia remained calm as she said, "Don't panic. Just focus on your work.""But we got into this company through you. What if they say we got into this company through the back door and then fired us?"Olivia sat at her desk, supporting her forehead with her hands. She was obviously panicking. "Don't worry, I'll handle this."You guys can leave now."Olivia did not expect this matter to be exposed so soon. She wondered how Cecilia found out about it. 'Could it be that she'
StartReading Literary was the last place Cecilia wanted to be. But she made an exception this time.Olivia had just finalized a cooperative copyright deal with another website company. Several editors from her own company were there at StartReading Literary. As she entered the office, she saw all the editors from StartReading Literary sitting upright, not daring to make a sound.She also saw her office door was wide open. She frowned as she walked into her office and was surprised to see an unexpected gust.Olivia put down the documents in her hand. "Ms. Samford, what brings you here?"With her legs crossed and Susan standing behind her, Cecilia stared at Olivia, who was in front of her.Cecilia sneered and stood up. She ran her fingers along the desk. "StartReading is actually the last place I want to be. I came here because I found out that you enjoy meddling in other people's affairs. Otherwise, you wouldn't even qualify to see me."Olivia instantly looked wary. She remained s
Liam stood up. He watched as Blake, who looked weary, walked away. "Blake, what do you want me to do so you'll like me?"Blake did not stop walking. Instead, she took even bigger steps and left.She went to the Harper residence, which surprised everyone.Grace asked, "Blake? Why did you come back here? Where's Liam? Why didn't he come back with you?"Blake stuttered, unable to find the words. She just made up an excuse, saying, "It's nothing. I just wanted to come back."After Hannah and Yael left the wedding last night, they went back to the research institute.As for Simon, he went to the farm to manage the business.After Blake went to her room, Grace became worried. She followed her and saw her sitting with a blank expression in the room, not knowing what to do.When Blake saw Grace, she quickly adjusted her mood. "Grace, why are you here?""I came to check on you. Blake, what's wrong? Did you have a fight with Liam? You just had your wedding yesterday, and you're already
The pregnancy test report came out fifteen minutes after Blake did the test. She was indeed pregnant. She was even seven weeks pregnant.Blake had indeed been involved with Kevin while in Northern Myanmar over a month ago.She held the medical report while standing bewildered in the cold hospital corridor. Lights shone through the floor-to-ceiling window onto her body, but all Blake felt was the cold, which made her hands and feet numb.She was lost in her thoughts. 'I'm really pregnant. What should I do with this baby? I want it to be born more than anyone else. But now, everything has changed. This child shouldn't come into this world.'She wandered in the corridor. Suddenly, she saw someone coming out of another gynecological room.She thought, 'Some things are just destined by fate. When I long to see him, even catching a glimpse of him in a dream feels like a luxury, an unattainable wish. But now, when I don't want to see him, it seems he appears everywhere I go.'Kevin supp
Blake wondered, 'I'm now pregnant with Kevin's child. What should I do?'She woke up groggily when she felt someone carry her. She opened her heavy eyelids and asked, "What time is it now?"Liam responded, "It's four-thirty in the morning. It's still early; go back to sleep for a while more."Blake said in a hoarse voice, "I've made an appointment for an abortion at eight o'clock. Regardless of whether I'm really pregnant or not, I don't want to keep this child."She had thought about it all night and believed this was the best decision.Kevin was going to get engaged. Blake believed he would get married and Audrey would give birth to his children. There was simply no need for her to complicate things further.She thought, 'If I choose to be selfish and decide to keep this baby, and if people find out about it, my child will be treated as an illegitimate child. I don't even dare to imagine how badly the child will be treated.'If giving birth to the baby will bring it a lifetime
Blake continued, "What about you, Liam? Do you mind?"If you do, you can choose to divorce me. After all, I've wronged you. No one wants to marry a woman who's carrying someone else's child."Liam stepped forward on the shattered cup and hugged her tightly. "I don't mind. Blake, I love you, including everything about you. I don't mind your past. I just want to start over with you. I didn't tell you about the pregnancy because I was selfish; I wanted to keep you by my side."Blake, your child is my child. I want to raise the baby with you."Don't leave me, okay?"Blake did not know why, but she was not surprised by her pregnancy. However, she felt that there were still some things that she could not let go of, though she was unsure what those were.She was not as calm as she had imagined.She thought about her past events. Then, she indifferently said, "Liam, I don't want this child. Since I'm prepared to be with you, I won't keep this child. It wouldn't be fair to you."Liam di
On this romantic night, the moon was obscured by the clouds.Breathing heavily, Blake felt some pain in her abdomen. She asked to stop. "Liam, my stomach hurts. I think I'm going to have my period soon."Liam sobered up instantly. "I'll go get you some medicine."She peeked out from under the blanket as the bedside lamp turned on. She could clearly see Liam's naked upper body. Her face flushed as she averted her gaze. "It's fine. Just help me call the front desk and ask them to bring up a pack of sanitary pads. I'll go to the bathroom to deal with it."Liam replied, "Let's go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up."Blake picked up her clothes from the floor and went to the bathroom. "It's okay. It's probably just my period."However, judging by the blood flowing out, it did not seem like menstrual blood to Blake. It looked like something else.Blake's voice came from the bathroom again. "I think we should go to the hospital."She sat on the toilet and watched the tall, slende
Blake had no bridesmaids, so she returned to the hotel room alone. As she stepped out of the elevator and was ready to use the room key card in her hand to swipe and enter the room, she suddenly saw a figure appear from the corner of her eye.She stopped her action and looked at the person who had left the wedding earlier.At that moment, Blake felt her breath catch, but it was only fleeting. She then quickly regained her composure and averted her gaze. She asked, "Didn't you leave? Why are you still here?"Kevin replied, "Congratulations."Upon hearing his congratulations, Blake felt a mix of amusement and discomfort. "There's nothing to congratulate. If anything, I should congratulate you. You're soon to be the mayor's son-in-law. In the future, we won't belong in the same social class anymore."I'm tired and came back to rest. You should leave now before Liam comes up and sees you here."Don't look for me again. I don't want him to misunderstand."Kevin responded, "Audrey and
