After saying that, Ruth ignored their flushed faces, got up, and went upstairs.Apollo had a bad premonition. When he turned around, he found Owen next to him had a surprised and grateful expression on his face.He coolly said, “You’re doomed, yet you’re still smiling?”Owen was stunned. “Huh?”Apollo pondered over it. If the deception was exposed, he would also be doomed. So, he kindly explained all the ins and outs of the fun game between Abel and Ruth.After the explanation, he said indifferently, “Ruth is smart. She must suspect us now! If she finds out the truth, Abel is doomed. If Abel is doomed, you are also doomed!”Owen was shocked.Ruth came out after changing her clothes and found an unread message on her phone.It was from Abel. [Are you done with your work?][Yes. I dropped by to pick Apollo up and asked Mrs. Greenwell to cook your favorite food tonight!]As the sun set in the west, the faint orange-red light blanketed the earth in a warm glow.Near Lockton Ente

The warm lights of the dining room shone on the four people, and the aroma of the curry filled the air.Owen flushed and held onto the man beside him tightly. His eyes were full of affection, and his voice sounded sad. “Do you know how sad I was when you said we are not close?”Apollo looked at the hand that held his wrist.A thought suddenly popped up in his mind.He was sullied.Ruth was shocked to see this. She did not expect this shocking news.Apollo and Owen actually had such an unspeakable relationship!No wonder they seemed familiar with each other when they quarreled earlier. Apollo also kept interrupting Owen for fear of him finishing his sentence. It turned out this was the reason why he did so.“Abel, Sis, I didn’t want to hide it, but Apollo wouldn’t let me tell you. We are in a special situation. He’s still growing his reputation as an actor, so we cannot expose our relationship. You understand, don’t you?”Ruth met his earnest and sincere eyes and hurriedly nodd

After the two people downstairs, who were disgusted by each other, finished throwing up, the atmosphere finally returned to normal.Owen let out a long sigh and said sorrowfully, “I have sacrificed so much. Abel’s anger should have subsided, right?”Apollo nodded. “I think so.”He had done so much, so Abel should have forgiven him for telling Ruth about the family gathering, right?The two were silent for a moment. Then, they tacitly raised their glasses, clinked, and finished them in one go.After a while, they heard footsteps coming from upstairs.They immediately stood up.Abel had taken a shower in the next room and changed into loungewear. His hair was short and fluffy, and he looked lazy and sleepy. He did not look as imposing as when he was working.The two in the dining room were drowning their sorrows when Abel slowly walked downstairs. They quickly walked to him. Abel raised his head and glanced at Apollo, who responded tactfully. “You guys have a chat. I have a sho

It was quiet outside the window. The moon was bright, and there were only a few stars.A gust of evening wind lifted the corner of the curtain.After a while, when Ruth felt she was about to pass out, Abel let go of her and called her name in a hoarse and seductive voice.“Ruth.”“Yeah?”Her voice sounded weak, as if she was in the water.Abel breathed even more heavily and remained silent for a while. Then, he got up to distance himself a little from her. “Make time for me next Saturday. I’ll let you fully understand me so that you won’t have to test me.”Ruth’s heartbeat raced, and her wandering mind returned. “Actually, I don’t mind it. Everyone has their own secrets.”It was people’s instinct to test something they were curious about, and she could not refrain from not doing so.“I do.” Abel sounded serious. “I want you to get to know me.”The incident was resolved to everyone’s satisfaction, and Ruth did not doubt him and even apologized to him.However, he did not feel

With that decision made, Luna felt wronged and was “forced” to listen to her parents to dissociate from Caelus.Caelus knew nothing about it. He had a headache while dealing with the huge mess on his hands and stayed in the company for a couple days.After receiving countless termination of business notices and payments for liquidated damages, the company did not have enough money to stay afloat. At this time, Caelus finally remembered his father-in-law.He also suddenly realized that he had not contacted Luna for several days.When he thought of this, he found it strange. Since the day he hung up on her in agitation, she had not called him again.He had a bad premonition and hurried back to Kingsland Manor residential area. However, his car could not enter. The mansion belonged to Luna, so it was obvious why he could not get in.He called her more than a dozen times, but no one answered. He rushed to the Goldwell family’s mansion in a panic. While on the way, he received news fr
