"Are you feeling guilty? Scared?" Sienna asked.Jane swallowed nervously and said, "Who wouldn't be scared? Even if I have evidence, I'm still afraid of your boyfriend!"Sienna corrected her, "I'm married. Daniel is now my husband."Jane's face turned pale. Feeling nervous, she took a deep breath.Sienna confidently said, "Jane, I'm very sure that you will lose. My husband is a police officer, his brother is a Defense General, and my best friend is a top researcher skilled in cyber forensics."Any of them could easily uncover the evidence of you stealing my manuscript."Jane was sweating as she became increasingly anxious. She lowered her head and clenched her fists, lost in thought.Seeing that she was intimidated, Sienna asked, "Why did you sell the film rights of my book to Vivian's company? When did you start colluding with her?"Jane smiled bitterly. She looked at Sienna and asked, "Are you trying to scare me?""You can think of it that way. We'll see each other in court.
Sienna smiled softly. After thinking it over for a moment, she wrote, "Honey, I miss you."Her phone immediately chimed with Daniel's reply. Daniel: "Wait for me at home. I'll be back soon."Sienna: "You don't have to come home. I'm almost at the police station."As the car stopped, Sienna got out of the car. She saw Daniel was already waiting at the entrance.He ran toward Sienna and held her hand. Gazing at her intensely, he gently asked, "What brought you here?""I just came from court and thought I'd stop by to see you.""You won the case, didn't you?" he asked confidently.Sienna was very happy. She replied, "Yes, I did.""I just finished work. Let's go home and celebrate.""Sure."Daniel couldn't help but pull her into his embrace. He whispered in her ear, "Did you call me 'Honey' in your message?"Sienna shyly nodded."Say it again for me."Sienna said softly without hesitation, "Honey."Daniel smiled. He was filled with happiness. He excitedly hugged Sienna and
Sienna's cheeks flushed. She shyly called out, "Honey."Daniel responded contentedly, "Good girl."Sienna smiled resignedly. She continued, "Jane sold my book to Vivian, and now they're making a film out of it. After the lawsuit, I think Vivian's company will come to me to discuss the cooperation between us. What should I do?""What's your opinion on it?"After hesitating for a few seconds, she replied, "I don't want to work with them and I don't want to sell the copyright of this book to them.""Will your company agree?" Daniel asked again.That was the stuff that Sienna worried about. After all, the book was signed to the company, so she didn't have the full rights.If the company succumbed to the lure of money and sold the film's copyright to Vivian, she would feel uncomfortable and upset.Sienna said dejectedly, "The company will probably just care about the money."Daniel smiled. He kept one hand on the steering wheel while comforting her with another hand. He reassured h
Back then, Camille couldn't understand why such a big house had only her and Gloria. Now, they understood that Daniel and Sienna were newlyweds. They didn't like having too many people around to disturb them.Sienna never sat properly on the couch.Instead, she loved to sit on Daniel's lap. She used his solid chest as a cushion, snuggling in his arms so that they could whisper to each other all the time.Sienna enjoyed gardening. Whenever Daniel had free time, he would join her in tending to it.In the evening, when the sun began to set, it was the best time for planting flowers and vegetables.Sienna noticed an empty patch in the garden surrounded by the flora. She thought the empty patch was perfect for planting vegetables or fruits, so she bought organic fertilizer and seeds.After discussing with Daniel, they planted several varieties of tomatoes and cherry tomatoes.Sienna was delighted that Daniel was willing to do such mundane tasks with her.She said, "Honey, when the
Water splashed over them, drenching their clothes completely.Sienna was pressed against the wall. Her body was warm as she looked at Daniel's handsome and rugged appearance. Water droplets slid down his short hair, amplifying the sexual tension. His wild and rough demeanor was a temptation for her.Daniel gulped. He looked at her flushed face with an intense gaze. Then, he stared into her clear eyes.He couldn't help but cup her face and bent down to kiss her. His kisses slid down her neck, and he slowly took off her clothes.Sienna closed her eyes. Clutching his shoulders tightly, she was lost in desire. Her breathing ragged, and she asked shyly, "Honey, weren't you going to take a shower? Don't do this…"Daniel didn't respond to her questions. He squeezed out some shower gel and helped her wash her body. The slick feel of her skin was intoxicating.Sienna was too shy to look at him. She just let him have his way with her. After all, she had little experience with such intima
"Do you really want me to not have desire toward you?" Daniel complained sadly."No, it's just for when I want to rest for a few days and don't want you to touch me," Sienna explained. "Just let me know. I'll respect your choices."As Sienna lay on his chest, she pleaded in a coquettish tone, "Honey, tell me, please! Since you've already told me such private kink, tell me more about this one.""Do you really not want to sleep with me that much?" Daniel asked as he gazed at her deeply. He felt slightly disappointed when he asked, "Am I not satisfying you?""How could that be?" Sienna was surprised. She quickly explained, "You're very good in bed. I'm just afraid I can't handle it.""If you don't want it, just tell me. There's no need to know about this."Sienna pretended to be angry and turned her back on him. She pouted, "Forget it. I'll no longer call you Honey, just Daniel." Daniel panicked. He quickly hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Why are you angry? Fin
Sienna won the lawsuit, and the result was immediately posted online. It caused a huge sensation and quickly trended on social media.This time, the topic stayed at the top for days, even forcing Vivian to stop filming her TV show. A week after the lawsuit concluded, Molly and her company approached Sienna's publishing company. They aimed to purchase the copyright of her book.However, they were a step late because Daniel already bought the copyright.…It was a bright and sunny morning. Sienna was invited to the company by her editor-in-chief.She thought it was for work and didn't expect to meet Vivian and her team.Sitting on the couch in the office, Sienna quietly looked at Vivian, Molly and her manager.When rivals met, tension rose. At the sight of Vivian, Sienna didn't try to be friendly at all. After all, Vivian had done so many underhanded things, including exploiting Jane."So, what do you want from me?" Sienna asked.Vivian crossed her arms. With a haughty demea
Sienna was hailing a cab. Seeing this, Vivian opened her car door and sneered, "Your attire is worth hundreds of thousands, yet you don't even have a driver and have to hail a cab yourself. Are you being serious?"Sienna lowered her head to look at her bag and her clothes. She was speechless.What? She had plenty of such bags and clothes at home. Were they really that expensive?"I know they have a saying for this," Vivian mocked.Molly answered, "Giving high-quality things to someone who can't appreciate them is like casting pearls before swine.""Haha… what a good way to describe it," Vivian continued to mock.Just as Sienna was about to retort, a luxury car pulled up in front of her.Vivian's expression became somber. She immediately got out of her car to see whose car it was.Sienna was also taken aback. She lowered her head to glance into the car.Daniel stepped out. He walked around the car and took Sienna's hand. "All done?" he asked. "Yeah, when did you get here?" Si
Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens
After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"
Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose
Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed
"If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt
Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp
Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th
Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came
In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
