2025-02-07 18:01:04Luana was momentarily distracted by his question and replied calmly, "I didn't know. I just picked it randomly."
In truth, she did know. He always preferred strong coffee to stay alert before exams.
Calvert gave her a thoughtful look. "Have you been studying my preferences?"
Luana shook her head. "No, I haven't."
Calvert extended his hand. "Creamer?"
Without thinking, Luana handed him a small box of creamer.
Calvert glanced at the creamer in her hand and raised an eyebrow, a hint of triumph in his expression.
"Seems like you know I like to add creamer."
Luana realized he was testing her and immediately wanted to take the creamer back.
But he gently held her hand and said in a warm tone, "Miss Hammond, I need your help."
He was holding the coffee and couldn't open the creamer himself, so he gestured with his eyes for her to add it for him.
The way he asked her to open the creamer reminded her of Albion, soft

Luana thought for a moment. If she left the lounge, she might run into Cline, so she shook her head again.Calvert gave her a helpless look."I'll go get you something to eat."Without waiting for her to protest, he stood up and left.Given Calvert's status, Moriarty Group treated him with the highest level of hospitality.The dining area he went to was the same one where Cline was seated.Faced with an array of dishes, Calvert wasn't sure what to choose.He pulled out his phone and called Luana. "What do you like to eat?"Luana insisted she didn't want anything, but Calvert urged, "You have to eat something. You'll need to take care of me this afternoon."Reluctantly, she said, "Something easy to digest, then."Calvert's voice softened. "How about some fish, vegetables, and yogurt? What about a main dish?""No, that's enough.""Alright, wait for me."Pleased with her compliance, Calvert hung

Luana was holding a pillow, her small face resting on it, her long eyelashes covering her clear, innocent eyes.Seeing her deep in sleep, Calvert couldn't bring himself to wake her. Worried that she might be uncomfortable sleeping upright, he bent down and gently picked her up.The moment he held her, several fragmented memories flashed through his mind—as if he had carried her like this before.He looked down at her peaceful, beautiful face and felt, in that instant, that Luana had once belonged to him.But he couldn't remember her. No matter how hard he tried, the memories slipped away, and the deeper he dug, the more his head ached.The pain was like countless worms gnawing at his brain, devouring every fragment of memory until nothing remained.His face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his skin, but he held her tightly, unwilling to let go.It felt as though if he released her, he would lose her forever—a feeli

His eyes burned with raging fury, and his voice was icy cold.Luana was forced to meet his furious gaze, unable to look away.She was terrified of this version of Cline but had no idea how to explain herself.She had lied to him that day, saying she had just met Calvert, because she was afraid of revealing Calvert's past with her.She hadn't expected Cline to find out the truth so quickly, nor had she anticipated that he would confront her about it.She had always thought Cline didn't care about her, so he wouldn't pay much attention to anything related to her.But she had underestimated him. If he could find out whether she had slept with Travis, then naturally, he could uncover this too.However, if Calvert found out she had revealed their past, he wouldn't let her off easily.With that in mind, Luana pressed her lips together and refused to explain.Facing Calvert's ruthless methods was still better than being misunde

Luana stumbled over her words, trying to explain. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you before. Albion—no, Calvert—he and I, we...""It doesn't concern me."Cline cut her off coldly. "I came to you because I can't stand being lied to. Now that I know the reason, it doesn't matter anymore."His words felt like a bucket of ice water poured over her, chilling her to the bone.All the things she wanted to say to him were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.She forced herself to nod calmly. "Alright. Then... take care, Cline."As soon as she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes and spilled over. She quickly turned around so he wouldn't see.Behind her, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing. Without a moment's hesitation, he left the lounge.Luana glanced back at the closed door, feeling as if a knife had sliced through her heart, leaving it hollow and aching.Her legs felt weak, an

"Mr. Moriarty, I cross-checked the timeline of Albion's car accident and Miss Hammond's decision to sell herself. Both events happened on the same night.""That night, after Miss Hammond took Albion to the hospital, she went to sell herself to raise money for his surgery. She had no time to undergo reconstructive surgery."Hearing this, the discomfort and unease in Cline's heart gradually dissipated.The tightness he had felt that night, the kind that only a first-time experience could bring, was genuine.She hadn't lied to him about that. But...His cold gaze returned to the documents in front of him.Amnesia...Cline remembered when he had first forced Luana to sign the lover's agreement. She had refused at first.But after a trip to Washington, she had signed it without hesitation.She must have found out about Calvert's amnesia and signed it out of spite.In other words, she had been with him reluctantly all a

When Runa saw it was Gehrmann, her expression softened.She reined in her temper and pointed at the security guard, addressing Gehrmann. "Gehrmann, I want to see Cline, but he won't let me in."The guard, seeing that she knew Gehrmann, finally believed her earlier claim.Was this woman really Mr. Moriarty's fiancée?If so, he had just offended the future lady of the Moriarty family!The guard glanced at Gehrmann, who was casually observing the scene, and thought, 'This is it. My high-paying job is gone!'But to his surprise, Gehrmann patted his shoulder and said, "You did it well. I'll give you a bonus at the end of the year.""Gehrmann, how could you—"Runa's words were cut off as Gehrmann coldly interrupted her."He's just following Cline's orders.""Not only do you fail to understand our employees, but you also yell at them. That's incredibly rude."Gehrmann had seen her earlier outburst.

Gehrmann had just stepped into the CEO's office when he saw Cline, hands in his pockets, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the building below.The afterglow of the setting sun cast a light on him, giving off an indescribable sense of loneliness."Cline," he called out, but Cline didn't respond.Gehrmann walked over and followed his gaze, looking down to see Calvert carrying Luana into the car."They don't give a damn about us!" he muttered under his breath.One was Cline's ex-lover, and the other had once been considered for a marriage alliance with their sister.It was one thing that they were together, but they had the nerve to be all lovey-dovey right under the nose of the Moriarty Group."Do you think he'll marry her?"Cline suddenly asked, startling Gehrmann.He took a moment to realize Cline was talking."No way. The Coburn family would never agree to Calvert marrying someone

"Mr. Coburn, welcome home."Lois, the maid waiting in the villa, quickly greeted Calvert as he walked in.Calvert nodded and instructed her, "Go get a clean set of pajamas."Lois glanced at the girl in his arms but didn't dare ask any questions. She simply replied, "Yes, sir," and went to find the pajamas.Calvert laid Luana on the guest bedroom bed and looked at her peaceful face. The possessiveness he felt eased a little.He reached out and gently tousled her hair. A softness was in his eyes that he himself didn't even realize.He sat by the bed and watched Luana for a while before letting Lois in to change her clothes.After that, Calvert went to the bathroom to freshen up.When he came back to the guest room, he saw Luana had turned over in her sleep. He breathed a deep sigh of relief.When Luana slept, she was so still it was like she wasn't breathing at all. Calvert had been worried something might happen to her wh

Luana never expected that after Cline let Calvert in, he would continue to kiss her.It wasn't until she heard Calvert's voice that she understood his intention.Although she had already let go of Calvert, seeing his eyes turn bloodshot with despair still startled her.She couldn't help but feel that the man struggling to rush towards them wasn't Calvert, but Albion.Because only Albion would lose control when he saw her being hurt by another man.Instinctively not wanting to upset Albion, she struggled desperately.But the more she struggled, the harder Cline kissed her, even going so far as to slide his slender fingers inside her clothes right in front of Calvert."Cline, don't touch her!" Calvert roared in a fit of madness, wishing he could rush over and kill Cline.But his body was pinned down by the bodyguard, leaving him helpless as he watched Cline take possession of Luana bit by bit.Luana forcefully pushed Cline

"So you did plan this with him!" Cline's cold, emotionless voice came from above Luana's head, making her pause for a moment."I didn't.""Then how did he know you were here?""I'm not sure, maybe it's because..." Her explanation was cut short by Cline's cold interruption."Stop making excuses. Getting your bag back wasn't just to contact him, was it?"Seeing Cline's stubborn and indifferent expression, Luana fell silent.He had already made up his mind that she had contacted Calvert to pick her up. No amount of explanation would convince him; it was futile."He comes to pick you up as soon as you're recovering. If that's not premeditated, then what is it?" Cline's distrust and relentless questioning left Luana feeling exhausted.She took a deep breath and replied indifferently, "Yes, I did arrange with him. The day I could walk again, I asked him to come and get me."Hearing her admission, Cline's lips curled into a col

"Remember to use the scar-removing medicine," Eva said. With her delicate and elegant appearance, she was the epitome of beauty—her face couldn't afford to be marred by scars.Eva nodded in agreement and left with her medical bag.As the dean of a private hospital, her schedule was usually quite busy.Had it not been for Cline, it would have been nearly impossible to get an appointment with her.Thinking of Cline, Luana felt a lump in her chest.She couldn't understand his intentions. He was about to get married to his fiancée, yet he kept her locked up at home.Did he want Runa and yet couldn't bear to let go of her?If that was the case, Cline was being incredibly greedy.Luana glanced at the floor-to-ceiling windows. At some point, the sky had darkened and a heavy downpour had begun.The weather matched her mood perfectly, prompting a deep sigh from her.As she sat on the bed, hugging her legs and

"Only a day apart, and you're already missing each other so much. It seems your old flame has been rekindled?"Faced with his sarcastic remark, Luana didn't bother to explain. She simply lowered her long eyelashes, hiding the discomfort in her eyes.Seeing her silence, Cline's face turned even colder. His grip on her chin tightened uncontrollably."Didn't you say you didn't love him anymore? Why are you rekindling your old relationship?"Luana endured the pain in her chin and forced a smile at Cline."If I can be your lover for years without loving you, why can't I rekindle my relationship with him?"It wasn't clear whether it was the first part of her sentence that choked Cline or the latter that left him speechless, but it made him so angry that he couldn't find words.Luana glanced up at him and saw his usually frosty, charming eyes gradually turn bloodshot. Her heart jolted, but she quickly suppressed the involuntary feelings that

Calvert seemed to have lost the strength to speak, only managing a faint nod.Clarissa knew his stubborn nature from childhood. Trying to persuade him to leave would be futile. So she steeled herself and told him the truth."Every time Luana is taken away by Cline, she won't be back in less than two or three days. You can't just keep squatting here, can you?"Judging by his reaction, it seemed he already knew who Luana had sold herself to back then.Since that was the case, there was no harm in telling him the truth. He wouldn't stand a chance against that man anyway.Clarissa's words hit Calvert like a sledgehammer, delivering a fatal blow."Every time?" he asked incredulously, his bloodshot eyes slowly turning towards Clarissa. "For these five years... she's been with Cline?""Mm-hmm," Clarissa replied indifferently. That single word, however, almost caused Calvert to collapse.He had thought she had only sold herself once, b

Hearing this, Luana felt even more guilty. "Clarissa, he got hurt trying to save me. Could you tell him to go back to the hospital first? I'll come to see him in a few days."Clarissa latched onto the key phrase. "Save you? What's going on?"Luana briefly explained the incident with Travis's private revenge.Upon learning the truth, Clarissa shouted that she wanted to teach Travis a lesson.However, upon hearing that Cline had already dealt with Travis, she immediately fell silent."So... you're with Cline now?"Luana could only nod in affirmation, not daring to hide anything from Clarissa.Clarissa sighed deeply and muttered, "What a complicated relationship," before hanging up the phone.She put her phone in her pocket and, carrying a large pot of corn chowder, walked towards the entrance of the small apartment.She had been excited to bring the soup to Luana to help her regain her strength, but as soon as she stepped

After Eva left, Cline glanced towards the guest bedroom and noticed the door was ajar. His expression darkened immediately.He unconsciously quickened his pace and entered the room, only to see Luana adjusting the IV drip.Her small, palm-sized face showed no significant emotional fluctuation. She remained as gentle and well-behaved as before.She even smiled at him when he entered, which dispelled his doubts.The volume of his conversation with Eva hadn't been loud enough for her to overhear.Cline subconsciously let out a breath of relief and sat down beside her bed, asking, "Feeling better?"Luana nodded and replied, "A bit better."Then, they fell into silence. The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.Seeing that Cline had no intention of leaving, Luana couldn't help but speak up, "Mr. Moriarty, could you help me find my bag?"Her bag had been left in the banquet hall at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Her phone and other belon

Cline finally put down the vegetable salad and picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth.In the five years she had been with him, he had never taken care of her like this. Luana was utterly shocked.She stared blankly at the man in front of her with her clear, innocent eyes, feeling as if all of this was surreal.Cline, however, didn't seem to find anything amiss. He calmly wiped her mouth with the napkin.After cleaning her up, he took out his phone and called Eva. He asked Eva to bring medical equipment to the villa.Hearing this, Luana quickly snapped out of her daze and said, "I'll be fine with just some rest. There's no need to trouble Dr. Eva."Cline glanced at her coldly, his tone domineering and brooking no refusal. "Whether it's troublesome or not, I'm the one who decides."Luana had no choice but to keep quiet and let him arrange everything...When Eva pushed a cart full of instruments into the room, Cline

Cline coldly interrupted him, "No meeting."Russell immediately seemed a bit embarrassed. "Mr. Moriarty, he is, after all, the CEO of Coburn Group. Right now, people from Coburn Group are constantly asking me for him. I can't keep him locked up forever..."Russell's meaning was clear—he could withstand the pressure for a while, but not for long.Cline's face darkened as he thought for a few seconds, and finally relented, "Let him go."He then hung up the phone directly and looked at Luana, who was examining him.In fact, Luana had already guessed who he was talking about and didn't ask.As long as he was willing to release Calvert, she could thank him later once she had recovered a bit.Cline stared at the IV drip for a while until the liquid in the bottle was completely gone, then he helped her remove the needle.Luana glanced at the three bottles of medicine still on the side. Logically, they should be administered one
