The deafening music pierced through Blake's eardrums as she downed drink after drink. Eventually, the last drink left her somewhat intoxicated. Everything felt surreal when she looked at the colorful lights.Janice hurriedly took the drink from Blake's hand. "Stop drinking. You've drank a lot. If you keep drinking, your body won't be able to handle it. It's already late; I should take you home now."Blake pushed Janice's hands away and drunkenly babbled, "I–I don't want to go back. I have to marry Liam when I go back. I don't want to get married. I want to wait for Kevin to come back. He slept with me and promised to take responsibility!"Janice's eyes widened as if she had just heard some earth-shattering news. "W–What did you say?! You slept with Mr. Harrison? I knew you were more than just friends with him. I even asked back then why he always looked toward our direction."Confused, she asked, "If you like Mr. Harrison, why are you marrying Mr. Xander? Blake, what happened after
Blake tightly held onto the man's hand, refusing to let go. "I don't want to. Your scent reminds me of him. I don't want to let go of Kevin. If I let go of you, he'll disappear again."In Kevin's arms, Blake lifted his hands and put them back down again. He said, "Blake, don't be like this. You're getting married soon."Blake hugged his waist tightly. "I don't like Liam. He and I are just good friends. I promised Kevin that I'd wait for him to come back. But Cecilia has been pressuring me. The first time, she threatened me with Madelyn's safety. She told me she found her, and if I didn't marry Liam, she'd kill her."The second time was about Dal's safety. She even wanted to deal with him. She also wanted to sell Mr. Jardin's company and told me to help protect it. But I never agreed to any of her demands."The third time was about your safety. Everyone said you were dead, but I didn't believe it. Kevin is so powerful; how could he die?"Why is my life so sad? Why can't I even choo
Kevin said, "Don't tell Blake I'm back."Janice looked at the woman beside the black car. She thought the woman looked familiar like she had seen her somewhere before. "Mr. Harrison, are you planning to return to the company?"Kevin responded, "I have my plans. Just mind your own business."After Kevin left, Janice watched as he hugged the woman and got into the car. She pondered, 'Mr. Harrison is back, but Blake is going to marry Mr. Xander. And now, Mr. Harrison has someone he likes. If Blake knows about this, she'll surely be devastated.'As Blake was carried away by Liam, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She frowned. "It hurts. My stomach hurts so much."Liam was rushing to the hospital. Thankfully, they arrived in time, or else the consequences would be dire.Blake's private part was bleeding as she was taken to the operating table. An hour later, she was finally transferred to a regular ward, still unconscious. The doctor scolded Liam, "How can you, as her hus
'Blake...' Liam thought.He was caught off guard when Blake pushed him down onto the bed. She then kissed him gently. Being a normal man, Liam could not remain indifferent to the woman he loved when she did this to him.They were initially quite calm and became very passionate after a while. Blake felt very hot as she moaned.After they finished, Liam took her to the bathroom to wash up. But she still had not recovered from the intense intimacy.When Blake woke up, it was already three in the afternoon. She felt surreal when she felt the glaring light shining in through the thick curtains.The aroma of food wafting from the living room immediately woke her completely. As she lifted her hand and saw herself naked, with kiss marks on her arms, her eyes widened in shock. She sat up abruptly and felt a pang of pain in her stomach, perhaps from her sudden, drastic movement.But she could not care about that now. She hurriedly got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom. When she looked
Liam said, "I know you don't want to see me. I'm just worried about you being here alone. If you don't want to see me, I'll leave."Blake covered her eyes with her hands. They were slightly red from crying. Her tone carried restrained emotions as she replied, "Liam, I'm sorry. I thought we were just feigning our relationship. I never imagined there'd be anything between us."Blake knew these words were hurtful, but she still decided to say it.Liam calmly responded, "Blake, the one who should apologize is me. Last night, you mistook me for him. I couldn't control myself. I'm sorry."As I've said before, if you want a divorce, I'll let you go anytime. This statement will always hold truth. When you calm down and decide that you still can't accept what happened, I'm willing to cancel the wedding and divorce you."He then left.However, he was still very worried. In the car, he called Janice.Janice was very surprised to receive a call from Liam. Just before the call ended, she hes
Janice continued, "You have no idea how many people in the company covet men like Mr. Xander."Moreover, Mr. Harrison has already..." Janice then thought of how Kevin looked so infatuated with another woman last night. She chose to keep quiet about it and did not speak further.She secretly glanced at Blake and found her lost in thought, seemingly not paying attention to what she was saying. She was also afraid Blake might ask about Kevin.Blake could never overcome the emotional obstacle she was facing. Even if others convinced her, she could not be persuaded.If brief sentences from others could bring solace to someone, there would not be so many people obsessed over someone.To cheer Blake up, Janice deliberately took her to see the drama they had talked about but never watched.They sat on the couch, but Blake remained gloomy.Janice said, "Blake, you still haven't eaten, right? Let me heat up the food. You wait here for me, and don't secretly eat the snacks alone."After J
Blake watched Kevin and Audrey being happy together and wanted to call out his name. But she could not utter a word. She felt extremely hurt, as if countless blades were slicing through her heart.She clenched her fists, pretending not to see them, and expressionlessly looked away. "Janice, I suddenly feel a little tired. I'm going back now."Janice shifted her gaze away from Kevin's face. "Okay, I'll walk with you."Blake calmly responded, "It's fine. I can go back by myself."After that, she walked away as though nothing was wrong. She walked in the opposite direction from Kevin and Audrey, not caring whether they saw her or not.When she reached the second floor, Blake could barely stand anymore; she instantly fell to the ground.Passersby thought she was trying to scam them."What's wrong with you?! Are you crazy?""Crazy woman!"Blake looked at the escalator with an intense gaze. Despite her inner turmoil, she managed to prop herself up and ran away hastily. She did not e
"Okay," Blake said.Upon hearing her response, Janice did not know whether to feel happy or sad for her.She wondered if Blake had truly accepted Liam or if she was acting like this because she found out Kevin had a fiancée after he came back.The traffic on the road was a bit congested. So, Liam only arrived half an hour later. Blake had been standing still at the mall's entrance, waiting for him.He held an umbrella and walked up to Blake. "Blake, I'll take you home."Janice saw Liam look at her, and she hurriedly waved her hand. "Mr. Xander, you don't need to worry about me. I've called a cab and won't go with you two. I'll go back to the company to cancel my leave."Liam nodded. "Okay. Thank you for taking care of Blake for the past few days. If you need anything from now on, you can find me."Janice replied, "No worries. Hurry up and take Blake away. It's raining heavily; don't let her catch a cold."Blake saw the couple walking out of the mall from the corner of her eye.
