Lucian pursed his lips and fell silent. They finished their meal in a strangely quiet atmosphere.

Calista got up to pay the bill, but Lucian grabbed her hand and stopped her.

"David has already taken care of it."

Lucian hadn't thought about holding Calista's hand because he believed he didn't have the right to do so, and he expected that Calista would disapprove.

However, now that he had done it, he had no intention of letting go.

"The weather is nice tonight. How about taking a stroll?" He suggested.

Calista glanced up at the pitch-black sky, unable to discern what was nice about the weather. The weather felt chilly, with the wind blowing and the temperature dropping.

"I'll pass," she replied.

Calista had a lot on her mind, and after a long day, she was too tired to stroll around. All she wanted was to go home, bathe, and relax by watching TV.

As Calista was about to withdraw her hand from Lucian's grasp, she heard him ask, "Don't you want to know who attacked you in Apthon?"

    Calista wasn't acquainted with the newcomers, but she had encountered them before. The person leading the way had a commanding presence that had made a lasting impression on Calista.On the other hand, Calista was more acquainted with the person at the back. After all, they had met just yesterday and exchanged a few words.It was Ava. Calista turned to the newcomer and adjusted her posture."Madam Calloway." She greeted Patricia.Hector's mother looked at Calista with a composed and polite smile devoid of warmth."I happened to be around today for some business and thought of inviting Ms. Everhart for a coffee. But now, I don't think it's necessary. Ms. Everhart and Mr. Northwood are quite an item, it seems. When your second wedding rolls around, you can count on the Calloway family to show up with some fancy gifts and give you our congrats," Patricia quipped.Clearly, Patricia was warning Calista to stay away from Hector.She smiled gently and continued, "My son, bless his hear

    Lucian held onto Calista's hand. Their proximity allowed Calista to see her reflection in his eyes as she looked up. Lucian wore a light-colored, long-sleeved shirt and dark trousers.Half his clothing was soaked from the rain, and the downpour dampened his hair.Despite being thoroughly wet, he carried himself with an aura of grace and refinement, showing no signs of disarray. Lucian's chilly fingers delicately caressed Calista's knuckles, creating an intimate sensation.He spoke softly, "Callie, ever since we tied the knot, the Northwood family and I have been your support."The emotion that Calista had felt due to Lucian's actions earlier disappeared as he spoke.She smiled wryly and replied, "Absolutely. This level of support is massive, to the point where it's almost hidden. It's like having an enormous safety net no one else knows about. It's truly remarkable, isn't it?"No one except a few close friends knew she and Lucian were married. Lucian gazed at her infuriated expre

    Lucian's hand rested on the towel, seemingly about to put on a show for her. Calista quickly averted her gaze as if the sight burnt her. She walked past Lucian and pushed him out of the bedroom."Almost time's up, just a few more minutes. Remember, lock the door when you leave, and take the towel with you," Calista commanded.Calista closed the bedroom door behind her and stepped into the bathroom.The steam filled the air, carrying the familiar aroma of her shower gel and a subtle trace of Lucian's cologne, the one he typically wore. It left her with an indescribable sense of mixed feelings.In theory, this should have been a completely routine situation after three years of marriage. However, for Calista, it felt like an entirely new experience.Back at Everglade Manor, each room had a private bathroom and communal facilities. Lucian often stayed out late, so when he did come home, it was typically well past the usual hours.Consequently, they had never encountered a scenario w

    Lucian's mocking of Ava caused Ava to spend the night angry and cursing Calista. When she heard someone knocking at the door early in the morning, Ava went to answer it without much thought.To her surprise, Hector, the man Ava had longed to see, was standing outside.She instinctively raised her hand to cover her bare face and exclaimed, "Hector? Can you wait a moment? I'll wash my face and be right with you."Just as Ava was about to dash back to her room for a quick touch-up, Hector stopped her with a firm tone."Hold on there, Ms. Moore. You bloody. I'll keep it brief. No need to fuss about looking your best."His harsh remarks took Ava aback."Hector, what did you just call me?"Ava was shocked, never expecting to hear such a derogatory and hurtful term from the man she had feelings for.With a blank expression, Hector offered a sincere apology, "My bad, I didn't mean that."Tears welled in Ava's eyes as she turned her face to show Hector her most appealing angle.Hector

    As Lucian's tone slowed, the gentlemanly and dignified way he held himself as a scion became more obvious. He also carried himself with some nonchalance."Or, would you like to leave on foot with two cars following behind you?"Calista held her breath and shot him a glare."Are you crazy? Do you want to give me a lift that badly?"The man gave her a mirthless smirk."That's not necessarily the case."Alright, she knew what was going on. The two men had been competing in secret. And, she was being used as a bargaining chip."I drove here. I don't …" she started.Calista didn't need Lucian's help. They were free to follow her if they wanted.Her mother's murderer was a member of the Jacquez family from Apthon. She had already butted heads with a giant. Why would she be afraid of a human?However, before she could finish, David, who had appeared out of nowhere, cut her off."Allow me to help drive your car back for you, Madam Calista."Calista was rendered speechless.

    If it were anyone else, David wouldn't have called to disrupt Lucian's date with Calista.But Lucian had been concerning himself with the Jacquez family's affair lately. Even the recent collaboration was facilitated by him relaxing the requirements.Lucian frowned before calmly speaking, "Where are they now?""They've just arrived at the airport. I sent a chauffeur to give them a lift …""Good. Have a reservation for a restaurant made and send me the address."After hanging up the phone, he turned to Calista with eyes tinged with regret."I'm afraid we won't have time for dinner today. Do you want to head up to take a look at the property? If you don't like it, I'll take you somewhere else next time.""No thanks."At the end of the day, the property would belong to Lucian. It didn't matter whether she liked it or not."You seem busy. I'll just hail a ride."Calista had only taken one step out of the car. But Lucian stood close with no intention of letting her out. She couldn'

    "I heard that Lucian has been getting a little chummy with another woman recently. It seems like they're planning to get engaged."Yara kept her gaze fixed on Calista as she spoke to observe how her friend would react."But those are just rumors I heard. I don't have all the details. You should go ask him yourself if you want to know. No one except the people involved would know what's going on."Truth be told, Yara hadn't only heard about it; she had also seen Lucian with that woman. However, they didn't appear to be intimate at the time. So, she didn't think too much of it.But in the last two days, news of Lucian's impending union had spread like wildfire in the community. They had kept such a high profile that everyone knew about it.Yara didn't want to see Calista being deceived. After all, that man had acted as if he wouldn't marry anyone else but her a mere week ago.Very few women could resist the charms of a man as outstanding as Lucian even if he were known to be a play

    Calista got to her feet after she finished speaking and left without waiting for Teresa to respond.As for Lucian, apart from the fleeting glance at the beginning, she never spared him another look. She acted as if he didn't exist.When she mentioned the word "boyfriend", his eyes narrowed. A dark look flashed in his eyes. He quickly got up and chased after her.Despite not having legs as long as his, she was fast. By the time Lucian got outside, Calista was nowhere to be found. A cold expression graced his features as he made his way to the stairs.Only Teresa was left in the private room. She had long since dismissed the tea sommelier and waiter.She looked at the empty doorway and picked up Lucian's teacup; only a small sip had been taken from it. She downed the tea from it with a single gulp.Lucian intercepted Calista at a corner in between the first and second floors. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace."What nonsense are you going on about? Open your eyes

    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,
