last update Last Updated: 2023-10-07 13:07:31
Calista had initially intended to get some information from Liam. However, instead of getting anything useful out of him, she had gotten herself into a predicament.

"I don't have any room for you here. You'll have to figure something out."

Paul's apartment had a one-bedroom layout, and even if there were extra rooms, she couldn't possibly let a stranger like Liam, who didn't know anything about her, move in.

"I'm your bodyguard, I have to protect you. How can I do that if I’m not with you every step of the way? I can sleep on the couch."

He frowned, realizing that there wasn't any extra room for him here. Calista didn't back down at all.

"You can buy a tent and set it up outside. I’m just a business associate with the man you mentioned. I haven't even seen his face, and I don't even know if we're talking about the same person. Do you think, under these circumstances, I can trust someone he hired to stay in my home?"

The mysterious man must be the man they were referring to. B

    Calista ignored him, turned, and went to the bathroom. She vaguely heard a knocking sound, and when she came out, there was a table full of food on the coffee table and a large pile of alcohol on the floor. There were all sorts of alcohol and even cocktail wines. Calista felt that he wasn't here to drink with her. He was probably infuriated with her after being rejected and wanted to murder her with alcohol. She couldn't drink more than five bottles of beer. They would need to call an ambulance after they finish everything. Lucian sent a message to David, "She's angry again." David replied, "Mr. Northwood, did you say something to upset Mrs. Calista again?" He could feel his frustration even through the screen. Lucian pursed his lips. If he hadn't said that, Calista wouldn't have let him in, and he only stated the truth.So he replied, "No." "Mr. Northwood, we need to learn to compliment others and keep our mouths shut. Can you do that?” Lucian was speechless. He imp

    Lucian didn't know if she understood, but she obediently sat still. He held her, and she didn't resist. She wasn't exactly light, and it was manageable under normal circumstances. However, when drunk, it was a bit of a struggle.As Lucian began to lift her, his arms and legs turned weak, and they both tumbled onto the sofa. Fortunately, the apartment belonged to Paul, and he had chosen quality furniture.The sofa was wide and soft, so when Lucian fell, he used his elbow to cushion the impact and didn't fully fall on top of Calista. He propped himself halfway, looking down at the quiet woman beneath him. Calista's eyebrows and eyes were red. Her gaze towards him was different from her usual rejection and mockery.Lucian's long fingers slid along the contours of her face, "What if it never works out between us? Will you still want me?" Calista tilted her head, probably annoyed that he had disturbed her sleep. Lucian chuckled lightly with a hint of self-deprecation."But you did

    Calista was filled with shock, disbelief, and even a hint of sympathy, but it lacked the kind of desire that Lucian hoped for. His face was cold, and he gritted his teeth, "Do you wish for that to be true?" "Well, it's not like I'm wishing for that, exactly."Calista shifted her gaze from his crotch back to his face. But if that were the case, it would make her three years of sexless marriage seem less miserable. At least this meant she wasn't entirely at fault and he was just not interested in her. Lucian wasn't amused by her words. His face turned darker. "If you could tone down the happiness in your eyes, maybe I'd believe you." Was he admitting it? Calista couldn't control herself and let out a light chuckle."So, you really can't perform?" Lucian didn't answer her. Instead, he pulled her into his arms from behind, his lower abdomen pressing against her waist."What do you think?" Her face flushed red. He was doing it on purpose, holding her so tightly that her wai

    Yara glared disdainfully at Lucian and remarked, "Have you ever wondered how your ex-husband managed to make everyone despise him?"Lucian found himself at a loss for words, a rare occurrence indeed. Calista watched him stumble for the first time and couldn't help but find it amusing.Her urge to resist a wry smile failed, and she responded, "The universe seems to have a way of rejecting him, perhaps."Yara's gaze then shifted to Calista's swollen ankle.She furrowed her brow and inquired, "Whoa, what happened to your ankle? Did you get it checked out by a doctor?"Yara scanned the room filled with assorted alcohol bottles as she approached Calista.There was quite a selection of alcoholic beverages on display, ranging from top-shelf choices to more budget-friendly options.Yara had immediately spotted the array upon entering the living room.Since Calista wasn't known for indulging in alcohol, it didn't require much detective work to deduce who was responsible for this spread.

    Calista looked at Liam and muttered, "How did you ..."Liam calmly pulled his phone from his pocket and answered the call. As he did so, Calista caught a glimpse of the displayed number. It wasn't hers."Sorry, I need to take this," Liam remarked.He walked a few steps away to answer the call. Meanwhile, Calista continued to hear the beeping sound on her phone until it disconnected.Liam attended to Calista after finishing his call."Where to next?" he asked."Back home," she replied.Calista no longer had to make daily visits to the Baker Group office.The overall project plan had been set, and the remaining tasks were about refining the details, which she could easily manage from home.She could plan another trip when the final draft was ready.Calista's foot injury had taken two weeks to heal, but it still restricted her from walking for extended periods.She needed to ensure she took enough rest to facilitate the recovery of her muscles and bones.It happened to be a we

    Hector walked straight up to Calista and casually pulled down the sleeve she had rolled up."Aren't you cold with the air conditioning set so low?" he said.Despite the sunny weather, it was late April, and the temperature was cold. The air conditioning was running because of the crowded mall.Calista asked, "What brought you here?"Hector glanced at the composed Yara and replied, "Someone texted me, and I was in the area, so I decided to drop by."It wasn't purely a coincidence. Hector's family had been attempting to set him up with Ava. His mother had convinced him to meet her. Just as he did so, he received a message from Yara.Ava remained seated on the ground, her eyes fixed on Hector as he assisted Calista in adjusting her sleeve.Her frustration simmered just below the surface, stoked by Hector's evident disregard for her presence. With a somewhat pitiful tone, Ava raised her head and called out."Hector."Hector turned his head, his brow slightly furrowed."Why are yo

    Lucian asked, "Did you block my number?"He had attempted to call Calista multiple times throughout the day at his workplace, only to hear the busy signal repeatedly. It eventually struck him that she had blocked his number.Calista unlocked the door using her fingerprint and entered her apartment.Lucian followed suit, a practice he had established during this period, using the pretense of taking care of her as his way into her apartment.While Lucian could only claim the couch for sleeping, it was a small victory that Calista no longer halted him at the entrance.If he could pass through the living room door, the bedroom door might be open for him soon. Suddenly, Calista reached out and stopped Lucian before he could step foot inside."I'm healed now. I don't need your help anymore."Lucian's gaze locked onto Calista's delicate arm. After a moment, a low, humorless chuckle escaped his lips.His eyes and furrowed brows betrayed no hint of amusement. Instead, they radiated an i

    The next day, Calista went to the manor on the hill, with Liam following her.They had grown somewhat acquainted over the past few days, but their discussions revolved around subjects other than the mysterious man.Whenever the topic of Mr. Mysterious arose, Liam would fall silent, keeping his thoughts to himself. There was no prying any helpful information from him.Liam had received strict instructions that prevented him from venturing upstairs in the manor. He simply walked Calista to the foot of the staircase.Usually, Calista would have ascended without a second thought.But today, she clung to the stair railing and asked, "Liam, ain't you the least bit interested in what Sir looks like?"The portrait had been restored today, and Calista had arranged to meet Mr. Mysterious.Liam replied, "Curiosity killed the cat."Calista rolled her eyes in mock disdain and said, "You are no fun."After that, she made her way up the stairs. Over time, she had become well-acquainted with

    With Cade covering Cameron's mouth, there was no chance for her pointed words to offend anyone in the room. His palm was cool to the touch. It was a sensation she disliked. So, she couldn't help but tilt her head.When Cade noticed her movements, he gently stroked her cheek as if he were calming a child who was throwing a tantrum.Victor spent years in a position of authority, giving him an air of unspoken authority. His gaze hardened, and his lips pressed into a firm line as he watched Cade. "Cade, don't jeopardize the long-standing relationship between our families over a woman.""If that's how you see it." Cade glanced at the door. "Aren't you doing the same for a woman?"Victor snorted contemptuously. "How can a cheap girl who was merely adopted be worth anything compared to Mirabelle?""How is my daughter, a Yorksworth, worth any less than yours?" Blaire stood at the doorway as she took in the occupants of the home with her sharp gaze. She had been feeling restless ever sin

    Mirabelle frowned. "Excuse me?"As soon as she finished speaking, Cameron walked up to her, grabbed her by her hair, and forcefully bent her over.Cameron held up the guest list Monica had sent her and shoved it in Mirabelle's face. "Call them. Tell them to be there by 3:00 p.m., or else…"She tightened her grip threateningly. "You can kiss this head of hair goodbye."Mirabelle pressed down on her scalp where it had been pulled, her voice distorted with pain when she spoke."Let go, Cameron! Are you out of your mind?""Didn't I tell you not to involve anyone else in our feud?""Can't take it anymore?"Mirabelle endured the pain of turning her head to flash a disdainful sneer at Cameron."This is just the appetizer. If you go against me, you'll eventually crawl out of Capeton with your tail between your legs. I'll call your business partner right now and pin the catastrophic failure of this event on you…"Seeing Mirabelle's condescending expression brought Cameron back to the

    The kiss lifted the dark cloud that hung over Cade's mood over the past few days.The next day, as Fabian brought in documents for him to sign, Cade asked, "When is Cameron's show?"Fabian was taken aback for a split second but quickly replied. Fortunately, he was well-prepared and kept track of Cameron's events for the year in advance."Has the invitation been delivered?"Fabian swallowed, almost wanting to laugh to mock Cade. Given Cade's strained relationship with his wife, Cameron would sooner invite a dog than have him around. However, all Fabian could do was revel in Cade's misery in his mind while keeping a businesslike facade."It was probably already delivered. The front desk brought in a stack of mail yesterday. I haven't sorted it out yet."He had already sorted out the mail this morning. Everything had gone straight to the trash."Clear my schedule for the day. Make reservations at a restaurant for a celebratory dinner.""Yes, sir."On the day of the show, Monica

    That was obviously an excuse to get Cade out of the picture. Knowing what Mirabelle had done to Cameron in the past, leaving the two of them alone was out of the question. Besides, it wasn't convenient for him to move the car, so he refused without a second thought."Get the attendant—"However, Cameron cut him off before he could finish."Ms. Ackerman is a guest. You should fulfill her requests if she has any."Cade cast her a cold glance. "Shut up." Why should he dance to Mirabelle's tune?Cameron stared at him. "Run along."He gritted his teeth as rage crossed his face. After a brief pause, he sneered and turned to leave. As soon as the door shut behind him, Mirabelle's calm expression slipped. "Did you make me come here just to show off how much you two love each other?""You call that love? I think we have different definitions of what 'love' is then. He's nothing more than…" Cameron's fingers lightly traced the cup's rim as she smirked and said, "A lap dog.""You fu

    Cameron crossed her arms over her chest and gave the bouquet in Cade's hands a nonchalant glance."What are you trying to pull, Mr. Carter?""Fabian said it was Women's Day today.""So what?"There was silence all around. The sound of soothing music could be heard through the door. Cade was silent for a while. "We're not getting a divorce, Cameron."It was the same old topic that Cameron had grown too weary of. She turned around and felt for the cigarette box on the table. There was already a layer of cigarette butts in the ashtray next to it. Judging by the color of the lipstick marks, more than half of them were hers.Cade frowned. He clearly disapproved of her smoking but kept himself from stopping her.Smoke curled from between her lips. The flickering embers of the cigarette reflected in her eyes, softening her indifferent gaze. Through the thin haze, Cameron's lips curled into a wide, unrestrained smile. Every time she smiled in this way, it always filled Cade with a

    Cade began unbuckling his belt as he spoke. When it came to this sort of thing, men often had a strong sense of competition, especially in the presence of a woman they were interested in."Such a dark atmosphere isn't right for our situation."Cameron didn't like him to begin. In such a dark atmosphere, there was no telling what kind of grotesque creature she might imagine him to be. It would be strange if she felt attraction for him.She leveled a steady stare at him. Cade's shirt was half undone, showing his tense muscles underneath. Under the influence of alcohol, his skin took on a faint reddish hue. There was a heart-pounding tension in the air as if something was about to ignite. Occasionally, his slightly heavy breaths could be heard."You haven't been working out recently, have you?" Cameron asked.Cade was confused.Cameron pressed her hand against his chest, right below his ribs, and gave it a little push. After a moment, she commented, "Your muscles are a little soft

    Cade tossed his phone onto the table in frustration when he saw who entered. He pressed his hand against his brow."Leave. You should see Diane for a work uniform.""Are you feeling unwell, Mr. Carter?" Rosalia approached the desk with a glass of milk in hand. "I learned how to give massages. Why don't I…" "Get out."Cade abruptly got to his feet and avoided Rosalia's outstretched hand, causing the milk to spill all over him. He glanced down at his now-stained shirt with a dark expression and pressed his lips tightly together. After a long pause, he asked through clenched teeth, "Did my wife ask you to send this up?" Every syllable was pronounced with the gnashing of teeth.Rosalia froze under his piercing gaze."It really was Mrs. Carter who asked me to bring it to you, sir," she stammered."Leave. From now on, you will not enter my study unless you have permission."Rosalia had come to work as a housekeeper to land herself a wealthy husband. She had even bribed the manager

    On the next day, Cameron was discussing the fashion show with Monica when she suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind. "Cammie…" It was Blaire.Although Monica didn't fully know about Cameron's past, she didn't like Blaire at all. What kind of mother wouldn't protect their own child, after all?However, it wasn't appropriate for her to intervene as much even though she was Cameron's close friend. After all, it was Cameron's family matter.Monica stood up with her notebook in hand and said, "Well, I just remembered that there's still a few more invitations to send, so I'll go and take care of that. Let's discuss more about the fashion show later."After saying that, she glanced at Blaire and left without even greeting her.Cameron got up and nodded at Blaire. "Is something the matter?"She thought that her distant attitude last night had made it clear enough that she didn't want any more involvement with the Yorksworth family. She didn't expect that Blaire would come and loo

    Cameron pushed the door open. She looked tired as she laid down her bag. As she changed her shoes, she caught sight of the food on the dining table out of the corner of her eye."Diane, didn't I tell you I wasn't coming back for dinner? Why did you make so much food?"Diane glanced upstairs. "It's for Mr. Carter. He hasn't eaten yet."The moment Cade was mentioned, Cameron dropped the topic. She rubbed her sore shoulder as she headed upstairs. "I see.""Madam…" Diane called out hesitantly, looking troubled. "Mr. Carter asked you to call him down for dinner when you got home.""Me? Call him down for dinner?" Cameron stopped in her tracks and turned around in confusion. "Why?""Mr. Carter seems to be upset. Did you two have another fight?""So If he's in a bad mood, I'm supposed to go upstairs and invite him down to eat? Should I also say 'Your meal is ready, my liege!' while I'm at it?" Cameron scoffed. Her sarcastic smirk quickly faded. "He can eat if he wants. If he doesn't,
