Ethan smiled and nodded, "Mhm. I'll always support you no matter what... Mrs. Arnold to-be!"The two chatted for a while. They talked about what they would eat the next day, the engagement trip they would have after Madelyn's graduation and many other things.By the time Ethan lowered his head to look at her, she had already fallen asleep.However, Madelyn seemed like she was not having a restful sleep. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and her long dark hair covered her face.Ethan moved her hair out of her face and kissed her on the lips. Then, he gently carried her upstairs to the master bedroom.For the past few days, the two had practically been staying together and sleeping on the same bed. They did nothing more than hugging and cuddling, but Ethan already felt content just doing so.'She's still young. I've already waited this long, so I can wait a little longer,' he thought.In the middle of the night, Madelyn woke up with her clothes drenched in sweat. Ethan's arm was tightly
Madelyn switched off the lights, unsure whether Zach had left.She was worried that he would come in, so she changed into pajama pants and went to the master bedroom next to hers.As soon as she lay down, the man beside her snuggled up closer and hugged her from behind.He said lazily into her ear, "Where'd you go?""I was worried I'd wake you up, so I went back to my room to shower. Go back to sleep," she replied a little absentmindedly."Mhm."Ethan quickly fell back asleep while inhaling her scent.Madelyn reached out to switch off the bedside lamp, and the entire room went dark. She shut her eyes and forced herself to stop overthinking.'He wouldn't dare to go against the Arnold family, given his current power. In the future, I'll be Mrs. Arnold. The two of us won't have anything to do with each other. While I'm still afraid of Zach and his threats and tactics, I shouldn't let what happened in the past continue. I can't let him threaten me time and again,' she thought.Bef
Madelyn was lost in thought.'Is that so? But why was Zach after him? I don't think Zach was helping the police; he was clearly trying to kill the man. What kind of grudge does Zach hold against him that he would send Fred to personally go after him?'Madelyn brought a bouquet of sunflowers with her. She bought them at the florist shop she usually went to, and these were the only flowers left when she went.Mya's family was in the room with her, together with Kennedy and Lem.Mya took a bite of apple and another bite of peach.'She's got such a good appetite. It seems like I was worried for nothing,' she thought.Madelyn felt relieved seeing how Mya was fine. She felt grateful but also guilty toward Mya.Mya immediately spotted Madelyn standing at the door. She shouted in excitement, "Madelyn!"Ethan did not like crowds, so he and Leyton stood outside and waited for her.Madelyn walked into the ward and saw a couple. For a moment, Madelyn could not tell which parent Mya took a
Madelyn thought, 'Did Jadie attempt to commit suicide?'Before Madelyn could greet Jadie, she was already rushed to the hospital. She had never seen her in such a disheveled and weakened state. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed it.Madelyn thought, 'Zach has always treasured Jadie. How could he bear to let her get hurt?'Ethan's voice brought her back to her senses, "Do you want to go check on her?"Madelyn shook her head, "No need. They can handle it."This was Jadie and Zach's business, and Madelyn did not want to be involved. Whether Jadie had attempted suicide or not, it was no longer any of her business.This time, Jadie's wound was deeper than the previous one.The nurse, who was treating Jadie's wound, frowned. The new cut was on top of the original wound. Jadie was skinny, so the new wound was deep enough that the bone showed. The previous sutures had even been sliced open by a sharp knife. There were threads embedded messily in the fl
"Stop playing around," Zach said as he grabbed her hand.He then answered the phone in front of her, "Father."Zach lightly pushed her away, along with her hand that was tightly holding onto his arm, before walking out to the balcony.Their conversation was not loud, but Jadie could faintly hear some of it. Right before he closed the door, Jadie heard Yvonne's name.Hayson said, "This is a rare opportunity for you, a chance for you to build your network in the business circle. There's no harm in going to Avalon for management training. You don't have to worry about your position. I've already arranged everything."Zach asked, "Is this your decision or the Young family's?"Hayson responded, "She's the future heir of the Young family, and you're my son. I'll always prioritize your development over Madelyn's. I hope you won't waste my efforts. This decision is final. After Madelyn gets engaged to the Arnold family, you'll go to Avalon with Yvonne for training for six months before r
At this moment, Kai received a very interesting message on his phone.He thought, 'Turns out that Donna, who had been imprisoned, is now out of jail... Interesting. She's been released just one month before the engagement. Is he really planning to make a move so soon?'"Dr. Stewart, a lady named Wincy Burton wants to see you," his medical assistant said, approaching him.Xander put his phone away and asked, "Where's she now?"The assistant responded, "I've brought her to your office."Kai replied, "Okay."As soon as Kai walked into his office, he saw an oddly familiar woman. She was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window wearing a light-colored dress and with long blonde hair. Her hands were crossed.Wincy turned around as soon as she heard the footsteps behind her and exclaimed, "It's been a long time, Dr. Stewart!" Her tone was filled with emotion.Kai waved his hand signaling his assistant behind him to leave the room. The medical assistant did so, closing the offi
In the three months of her recovery, his surprise indeed had not disappointed her. But she remembered what he said for three years.Wincy's expression was unnatural as she looked away."Why are you avoiding me?" Kai's tone was alluring.He then lifted her chin, and Wincy blushed. When she felt the soft touch on her lips, her eyes widened instantly.She thought, 'He...'Before Wincy could react, Kai deftly opened her lips and kissed her skillfully.With her physical desire awakened, Wincy impulsively decided to go along with him and kissed him back.Upon noticing that Wincy did not resist, Kai kissed her more intensely. He would never refuse a woman who willingly offered herself to him.He then suddenly lifted her skirt with his hand and grabbed her sexy, curvy, soft butt. Wincy was panting as their lips separated, out of breath.Kai asked, "Shall we take this to the bed?"Wincy was shy and began to blush. She nodded.The next second, Wincy felt her body become weightless as
"Let go of me!" Lana smelled the sickly sweet scent of perfume and a lipstick mark left on his neck, along with a red mark and rumpled clothing. It was not hard to imagine how intense Wincy and Kai's actions had been.Lana struggled. Her gaze at him was blatantly filled with disgust.Kai asked, "Are you jealous?"Lana scratched across his face with her fingernail, leaving a mark on his seductive face. Kai was in pain and released his grip. A hint of gloominess flashed past his eyes. Lana furiously got up from his lap. She adjusted her clothes before lifting her hand to slap him, "Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands!"Kai's face was turned to the side after being slapped, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled as he said, "You're too gentle. I prefer it when you're a bit more forceful." His gaze was filled with desire, aggressiveness, and excitement.Lana frowned tightly. She looked at him as if he were a lunatic, "For the first two accidents, we'll pretend nothing eve
