It was a grand fireworks display for the whole city to watch. Some netizens joked, "I wonder which CEO is appeasing his sweet wife now." A few observant netizens noticed that this fireworks show was identical to a recent one. Nicholas and Jasmine's names once again appeared in the public eye after
Nicholas glanced up. He looked past my shoulder as his eyes landed on Jasmine behind me. "Seems like spreading rumors offline was not enough for her. Now, she's trying to do it online too!" "Look! The main character has arrived. I wonder what kind of drama will unfold now." "It's clearly a movie
The camera immediately focused on Jasmine. She looked as if she was greatly wronged and kept choking up. I was even more surprised. Nicholas had always been gentle and proper in public. I had rarely seen him confront anyone in a public setting before. I did not expect such harsh words to be directe
Nicholas said, "I want to explore a new field and pave the way for my wife, but the contract is over now."As he spoke, his warm hand held mine under the table. His eyes were filled with tenderness. I knew there was truth mixed with lies in his words, but at that moment, his gentleness overwhelmed m
"Nicholas, you're just too unwilling to step out of your comfort zone. Finding a new 'Mrs. Hawk' who fits you is a hassle. "Maybe you don't want to spend the time or energy on it, or maybe Daniel is pressuring you. For all these reasons, you said what you did today."I looked up into his eyes and s
I was thrown out by the force of the explosion like a ragdoll. When I hit the ground, it felt like the impact had cracked the pavement beneath me. The pain surged through my body as if every bone had shattered.The agony pulled me back to consciousness. People were screaming and running away from th
Nicholas's eyes were bloodshot. Jasmine's smug expression only fueled his rage. His gaze turned wild, showing a terrifying and violent fury."Just kill me. I don't understand. I tried so hard to please everyone, but I still can't earn any sincerity.""You think I won't?" Nicholas tightened his grip
My heart trembled. I wrapped my arm around Nicholas's back, unsure where to place it.He choked up. "You can't die before me."My eyes stung, and soon, they reddened as well.Ever since Nicholas and I got divorced, I felt like I had lost my final connection to the world. I was like a balloon that ha
Although Nicholas gave me his assurances, I still couldn't fully relax. I lay beside Tabitha, unable to fall asleep. So, I decided to search for information on childhood autism. As soon as I opened my phone, a trending topic popped up with Nicholas' name on it. The headline read, "CEO of Hawk Corp
I went to Nicholas' room to check on Tabitha. She was sleeping soundly, her cheeks flushed a rosy red.She didn't know yet that, tomorrow, she'd have to go to the hospital again instead of going to kindergarten.Other kids her age would be going to school or the amusement park, but Tabitha had to fr
Suddenly, a force pulled on my hand, startling me.My reflexive jerk knocked the bowl, making it wobble noisily against the table. The clattering sound felt louder than the pounding of our hearts."Sorry," I muttered, quickly steadying the bowl. I glanced up at Nicholas. His hand froze midair, stil
As my thoughts ran wild, I somehow drifted off to sleep in Tabitha's room. When I opened my eyes again, the sky was dark.I sat up in a panic, fumbling with the door lock before finally getting it open. The moment I stepped out, the door to the room next to mine opened as well.Nicholas stood there,
Nicholas' bright eyes dimmed instantly, a wave of dejection washing over him."I haven't eaten anything. I've been in back-to-back meetings and barely even had time for water. Can't you just keep me company?"At that moment, I felt the fragile understanding between us was once again on the verge of
I quickly got ready and waited for Nicholas to pick me up. He had called earlier, saying he'd wrapped up work early. He asked if I wanted to join him to pick up Tabitha from school.I immediately caught the hopeful tone in his voice but still turned him down.Lately, Nicholas had been eager to take
Once Tabitha finished her meal and Wendy took her to school, I finally had a bit of time to myself.I sent the prepared documents to Douglas, asking him to help arrange Tabitha's visa for Berland.Once her condition improved, I planned to take her abroad. Since Nicholas hadn't insisted on having Tab
I was filled with excitement. Ever since that argument with Nicholas, he had already begun coordinating with his medical team. Due to the sudden changes, the team had to completely revise the questions they had prepared. Since it concerned Tabitha, we didn't mind giving them a bit more time. Now,
Since that day, Tabitha had become increasingly silent.She started zoning out often, sometimes staring at me or Nicholas, sometimes focusing on random things. Every time she drifted into this state, it would last for over ten minutes.During these moments, we didn't dare to interrupt her. We could
