Jaclyn's POV:

I agreed to Natash·Yael that she could look for a job, but deep down, I was convinced that my Luna wouldn't find anything suitable.

Or rather, any job she could find, I could come up with reasons for her not to take. This was a plan I had formulated long ago.

However, when my Luna told me she was going for an interview at Elite Law Firm, I was genuinely surprised.

It's not that I look down on my Luna, but Elite Law Firm is not an ordinary small law office. The person in charge, Tommy·Fox, is not yet thirty, but he is already a well-known international lawyer.

A few years ago, he was relatively unknown, but after winning several international economic lawsuits, Tommy·Fox became famous.

Not only within the Red Valley Pack but also nationwide, he's a prominent figure. He even ranked first in last year's top ten lawyers.

I've had a few encounters with him, and my impression is of a handsome, elegant, and intelligent man.

Young and successful, with a disciplined private life

    Natasha's POVI think Jaclyn must be convinced in his heart that I won't pass the interview this time.Therefore, although he poured some cold water on me verbally, after he felt satisfied, he generously expressed his support again, which improved my mood a bit. Actually, I know Jaclyn Dills' words, though unpleasant, make sense.Stepping into the lobby of the office building located in a prime location, my nervousness increased. The golden signboard of the elite law firm shone brightly in the lobby, displaying the magnificent calligraphy of a well-known artist, exuding a clear and extraordinary momentum.I feel quite useless. Many times, the lack of courage to try, withdrawal, evasion, and self-doubt seem to have become my habits.Taking two deep breaths, I slightly lowered my head to scrutinize myself. I took off the down jacket, revealing a standard professional female outfit inside - a blue suit, a white shirt. I had neatly tied up my long hair, displaying a sharp and capable deme

    Natasha's POVI was led to a seating area adjacent to us, where a modern-looking coffee machine and a set of exquisite cups were arranged, courtesy of Linda.At a glance, I recognized that this set of cups was quite expensive."Mrs. Yael, what kind of coffee do you like?" I hesitated for a moment, bypassing my brain and saying directly, "Black coffee."As soon as the three words left my mouth, I clearly saw a pause in the hands playing with the cups. I couldn't help but silently facepalm and hastily added, "Uh, I like any kind of coffee."The CEO Fox on the opposite side chuckled a bit. His laughter was somewhat incongruent with his appearance, carrying a hint of hearty warmth, causing me to involuntarily look up. Our eyes met perfectly, and I froze for a moment.Upon closer inspection, the man looked even more handsome, but why did his gaze seem to carry a hint of anticipation?I never thought the interview would be so easy. I casually chatted with CEO Fox over coffee, answered a few

    Natasha's POVI had no idea about the thoughts swirling in Jaclyn Dills' mind. All I knew was that this was a significant opportunity for Annelie, one that could change everything for her.Annelie had always wanted to bring her parents over to retire. Although she had earned quite a bit over the years, her brothers had married, built houses, and after buying the small two-bedroom in the Red Moon Pack, there wasn't much left.Bringing her parents over for retirement had been a financial challenge, and this deal would make it much easier.Excitedly, I dialed Annelie's number, and she picked up after the first ring, saying, "Alright, I get it. I'll remember to eat from now on. Dr. Mike, you can rest assured; I'll diligently follow your teachings."Even through the phone, I could sense her helplessness. An image of Annelie flashed in my mind, and I couldn't help but chuckle.There was a momentary pause on the other end, and then Annelie's voice came through, "Natasha Yael.""Yeah," I repl

    Natash's POVAs the year-end approaches, Red Valley Pack becomes increasingly cold, with cold air sweeping in on Sundays, driving away the rare winter sunshine from the past two days.The howling north wind stings the face, and the sky appears somewhat gloomy, getting dark earlier than usual. By 5 p.m. when I finish work, it's already dark outside.Stepping out of the law firm, I instinctively shiver and pull down the hat of my down jacket. I wrap the scarf around my neck twice and tie a knot on the side, giving my feet a little stomp.I've always been sensitive to the cold; while it's manageable in summer, in winter, my hands and feet feel like they've just come out of a snow cave, despite wearing thick snow boots.In the past, the elderly used to say that a girl with cold hands and feet would improve after marriage and having children. However, after getting married and giving birth to Perry, my condition hasn't changed.Perhaps it was due to the busy days back then, even though Ann

Being in adolescence, I became rebellious to gain attention.The high school I attended was a prestigious one, but not everyone entered based on academic achievements.Aside from regular admissions, there were also special admissions. It was a tradition in the school to admit students with either wealth or influence.In other words, they were either wealthy or had powerful families, essentially, spoiled children.

    Jaclyn’s POVThe room was a bit noisy, and Natash went out before picking up the phone.My voice, tinged with questioning, rang out, "It's late, where did you go, Natash? Why aren't you speaking? Did you hear me talking?"Natash took a deep breath and whispered, "I heard. Having dinner with a colleague. I'll be back in a while.""Colleague," I furrowed my brow slightly, "Male or female?"The other end of the phone fell into silence again. I belatedly realized that my question was quite lacking in sophistication, so I coughed to cover it up."Having a meal with a colleague occasionally is fine. Natash·Yael, I was wrong that day. I shouldn't have scolded you indiscriminately. Living in the villa, it's indeed inconvenient for you to commute to work. However, you are my Luna. Moving house is such a big matter. Shouldn't you have informed your mate in advance?"What I didn't want to say was that when I called the home landline, the housekeeper told me that Luna had left with her luggage.I

    Jaclyn's POV As soon as I entered the apartment, I saw my daughter running back and forth. In just a few days, she seemed to have grown taller. Upon seeing me, her chubby legs briskly carried her over, "Daddy, daddy." Although she started speaking late, she caught up quickly. In a short time, her articulation became clear, and with her crisp voice and lovely appearance, she looked exceptionally charming. Setting down my bag, I crouched down, lifting the little girl up, tossing her up and down like a swing. She giggled happily. Holding her, I entered the living room and noticed Perry's nanny tidying up the toys that Perry had taken out. I didn't see Natash·Yael anywhere. Feeling a bit disappointed, I lowered my head and asked the little girl, "Where's Mommy?" Before she could answer, Natash·Yael walked out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of peeled and sliced apples. Perry was teething, enjoying something hard to gnaw on. If given apple puree, the little one would protest, clos

Joey and Morris have been on business trips for days, and my wife is due to give birth soon. Out of all of us, I'm the only one who can spare some time.

    The usually deserted art gallery suddenly bustled with activity today, as vehicles came and went, occupying the few parking spaces in front. Louis emerged from the war meeting only to find not a single parking spot available. He had to park his car in the underground garage of a nearby office building and walk over. His handsome features, commanding presence, and the military insignia adorning his attire immediately drew the attention of numerous people as he stepped into the art-filled gallery. The juxtaposition of Louis' military resolve with the artistic ambiance of the gallery seemed discordant, yet he paid no heed to the curious glances of others as he made his way straight to the reception desk by the stairs, where two young women in their early twenties stood. One of the girls, her cheeks flushed with excitement, stuttered, "C-Can we help you?" under Louis' direct gaze, her head involuntarily lowering. A flicker passed through Louis' eyes, a slight upward curl at the corner

    Jaclyn povI, Jaclyn Dills, have never been involved in things like chatting on Instagram, but Natash always likes to talk about it. In my opinion, what's the point of chatting with strangers on Instagram? If they're friends, just call them, right? But Natash never tires of it.However, now I have to succumb to this Instagram thing. To deal with this situation, I spent half a day sitting in front of the computer, finally registered for an Instagram account, and then added a friend who could provide fake IDs. When he asked me what documents I needed, I simply replied, "ID card," and then there was silence. After a moment, the other side replied, "We don't provide ID cards." I quickly asked, "Why? I heard you provide all kinds of documents." Then I added, "Money is not a problem."There was silence again for a moment, and finally, he gave me an address to meet in person. I felt strange. Now these fake ID businesses have become like spy activities, but I just wanted an ID card, and I rea

Maria glanced at Natasha Yael's swollen belly and asked, "You guys didn't use contraception, huh?" Natasha Yael nodded, "We did."Marilyn chuckled and pointed to her own swollen belly, "Then how did this happen?" Cecilia blinked, "How did it happen?" Natasha Yael explained, "We used a condom the first time with Jaclyn Dills, but somehow, it happened anyway."Marilyn smirked, "You guys must have been too passionate to bother with a condom, hence this little surprise." Natasha Yael blushed, and Cecilia remarked, "Jaclyn Dills seems calm and elegant, unlike Morris, who's so restless. He must be very gentle, right, Natasha Yael?" Maria nodded in agreement.Marilyn snorted, "You guys are so naive. These men are not gentle or elegant; it's all an act. They're wolves in bed. Otherwise, why would Natasha Yael have this belly?

It's just impossible.After having our son, I often joked with Natasha about adding a sibling for him, but it was just talk. I don't want Natasha to get pregnant again. The nine months of pregnancy plus the confinement period, a whole year of dietary restrictions because of her, I've had enough.I've been careful, almost always using protection. And when there wasn't time for that, we made sure to take precautions. But nothing is foolproof. Sure enough, Natasha dropped the bombshell on me today.I must have looked utterly devoid of joy, which must have hurt Natasha deeply. She looked at me, lips pursed, and said, "You're not happy."

Apart from feeling very familiar with the outrageous bed in the presidential suite of the hotel, I haven't even seen the sunrise.Well, that's not entirely true. Sometimes, when Jaclyn Dills keeps me up tormenting me until the early hours, I occasionally catch glimpses of sunlight streaming in from the window. But by then, I'm so exhausted that I neither have the inclination nor the energy to appreciate the sunrise he has always longed for.By the fourth day, I couldn't take it anymore and directly ordered Jaclyn Dills that if he didn't let me out soon, I would go home by myself. What kind of vacation was this anyway?Driven by Luna's powerful resentment, for the sake of my future happiness, Comrade Jaclyn Dills finally took Luna out for a walk in the evening of the fourth day.The hotel we stayed in consisted of separate villas with a private beach, offering a high level of privacy.

    Jaclyn's POVOne evening, after Luna and I had just finished a round of playfulness, lying in bed catching our breath, Natash, who had just regained her composure, complained discontentedly, "Jaclyn, why are you always on top? Didn't we agree that I would be on top this time?"I innocently caressed Luna, saying, "Didn't I let you be on top for the first half just now? You seemed to be enjoying it, telling your mate to go harder, to speed up for Luna. How quickly you forget."Natash blushed, "Whether I'm on top or you move, what's the difference when you're on top of me?" I blinked, then rolled over to pin Natash beneath me, leaning down to give her a playful nip before smoothly sliding inside her. "Hmm," Natash murmured.Leaning close to Natash's ear, I lightly nibbled and said with a mischievous tone, "Luna, your mate will tell you the difference now. When you're beneath, I can support you here, making it easier." As I spoke, my hand reached between Natash's legs, parting them forcef

As years passed and time weathered, the memory of her only grew stronger.Love, viewed from the rational lens of science, is merely a biological program, a culmination of hormonal effects and chemical reactions. The initial ardor of romance tends to fade with time spent together, even to the point of complete dissolution after a decade.Though my time with Natash Yael amounted to less than a year, I never forgot her in the nearly fifteen years apart. Despite nothing ever happening between us, she became the singular regret I couldn't shake from my romantic history.Longing compelled me to decide to return home.

It was my go-to move when dealing with Jaclyn Dills.Sure enough, Jaclyn Dills turned around, sitting on the edge of the bathtub, "What are you sorry for?"I hurriedly replied earnestly, "I shouldn't have gone to the nightclub with my friends." And what else? Jaclyn Dills' voice softened a bit.I blinked rapidly, "And I shouldn't have stayed out past ten.""And what else?""And... umm..." I racked my brain for a while but couldn't come up with anything.Jaclyn Dills' gaze slid from my face to my body, and his tone darkened, "Where did you get this outfit? I don't remember buying you anything like this.
