Liliana looked down, quickly hiding the sparkle in her eyes. "You're worrying too much, Mr. Smith. I'm really thankful for you letting me stay today. If there's nothing else, I'm going to go wash up now!" She pulled her hand from Sean's and shut the door without another glance.Sean stood outside, watching the door close. He stayed there, looking sad.Savannah was at the top of the stairs. She saw her son looking down and frowned. "Sean, come here. I need to talk to you."Sean tried to look normal. "What do you want to talk about this late, Mom?""Come here!"Savannah sounded serious, so Sean had no choice but to go with her."Close the door!"She led Sean to the study next door. As soon as he closed the door, Savannah looked serious. "Sean, you're not a little kid anymore. I've always let you play around and have your fun, but I don't agree with you being with her!"Sean narrowed his eyes. "Mom, you don't like Liliana?""I've never liked her. I warned you, didn't I? I said sh

However, when he caught sight of Liliana's soft eyes, Sean quickly looked away. He walked over to her and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"Liliana nodded. "Yep!"Sean smiled, looking at Liliana again to admire her. "You look really pretty!"Liliana felt her heart jump. Looking into Sean's charming eyes, her heart raced a little out of control.Liliana's eyebrows drew together, her hands clenched at her sides. She looked up at Sean with a calm, steady gaze. "Ms. Savannah sure has an eye for quality!"Sean's lips tightened, obviously not pleased with Liliana's comment. However, Liliana did not want to argue with Sean. "Mr. Smith, it's getting late. I need to get to work.""Liliana!" Sean reached out and caught her hand. "Please eat some breakfast first!"Liliana's frown deepened. "I can't. I'll be late for work!"Breakfast?Liliana had not forgotten how the Smith family once treated her. She knew Savannah did not like her.Staying with the Smiths was already testing her

"What's going on here?"Liliana had barely finished her sentence when Sean yanked her close, and his hot lips met hers. Liliana's eyes popped wide open. She tried to wriggle free from Sean's arms, but he held the back of her head so tightly that she could not escape.Sean knew he was acting crazy because of Liliana. He thought he could handle anything she said, but he could not stand hearing her say there was no chance for them!Sean hugged Liliana tightly, as if he could not control himself. His kisses were wild and burning hot, and Liliana felt a strong urge to push him away.She really did not like feeling like she could not control her own feelings. Liliana shook all over. Sean's smell, his kisses, and everything about him was just so mesmerizing, like it had been from the start.They were not a couple, but it was not the first time they had shared a moment like this. In fact, it had happened a few times, even if Sean did not realize it.Liliana was annoyed with herself for r

Despite being sixteen, Linda was still very much a kid at heart. She only showcased her more mature side when she was with patients. Otherwise, Linda was still very childlike, sometimes even more so than three- or four-year-old Bran.Bran's mouth was stuffed with chunks of pumpkin pie, but he was no match for Linda's quick hands. Even with his cheeks bulging and his hands full, Linda's taller stature and bigger hands—and mouth—gave her the edge.Linda crammed in several pieces, smacking her lips and puffing out her cheeks. She taunted Bran with a cheeky glance and even waved her pastry triumphantly. "Try and grab it if you can, squirt!""Grandma, look at her! She's such a big bully, trying to steal my snack," Bran complained with a pout, turning to Zara with a look of injustice.Zara stood by with a helpless smile. "Bran, you shouldn't eat so much at night. Your tummy might hurt, okay?" She handed Bran a cute cartoon-patterned cup filled with warm milk. "This young lady is Mr. Pete

Peter squinted thoughtfully. "They don't want her dead. It's probably tied to Charles. Now that Linda's with us, Saxon will likely show up soon.""Are you saying they don't want the Holt family to step in?" Steven got it too. The Holt family knew a lot about medicine. If there was a virus issue, they could probably fix it. Even if they could not, they would scare the bad guys away. That was why they went after Linda. They wanted to cause trouble for Linda or keep the Holt family out of it.Both of them stopped talking. It looked like the bad guys knew most of their secrets."How's Charles's company doing?" Peter asked.Charles had been staying away from the company to make his enemies less careful. He had not been seen there for a while, and Steven was in charge. Steven did not show up in public either. Outsiders were wondering if something big had happened to Collosus Group. Why else would Charles, the head of the Hoffman family, be gone for so long? Inside, Collosus Group was rea
