461 Forced by Life

Emily decided to be straightforward: “I’ve been staying in Vincent’s hospital room these past few days. My family coming to stay with me was unexpected. But I only have this one elder left in my family, so I have to take care of him properly.”Ken nodded repeatedly. “You’re right, we should always take care of our elders first.”Emily quickly handled her urgent emails and then shut down her computer.“Ken, I’m heading home. We’ll meet at the groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow morning.”Ken nodded. “Alright, alright. Oh, and don’t forget what I mentioned earlier—give it some thought.”“...Alright.”“Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you! Our company’s annual gala is coming up, and we’ve invited some really popular celebrities this year. Plus, the boss’s younger sister, Janet, will be there. You have to come!”The annual gala?Emily had never participated in such events before.She wasn’t really a fan of these kinds of gatherings.“I’ll see if I’m available. Goodbye, Ken.”...Carol

462 Karma Arrives Too Late

Emily’s list wasn’t long; it was actually shorter than a typical grocery receipt. But because each item was a luxury good, each price was substantial. Among the items was a Prada men’s leather bag valued at $10,000, a Gucci coat, and a men’s watch. In total, there were only about six or seven items, but with invoices intact, the cost amounted to over $100,000.The female officer was stunned. “If the damage value is this high, it’s no longer a simple five-day detention.”Emily gave a light smile. “Those are just Bert’s belongings. I also bought a few items for Bert to give as gifts to neighbors. They’re not as expensive, but in total, they’re worth around $10,000. The fire didn’t just burn down Bert’s house; it damaged neighboring properties as well. Their walls and windowsills were affected. I’ll check with the neighbors about their losses and bring it over.”This new figure surprised Carol as well. “That could add up to $400,000?”“About that,” Emily replied. “Honestly, even though G

463 Kindred Spirits

Satan stood at the door, holding a heavy brown paper bag filled with groceries, looking every bit composed. Emily was surprised—why was he here?Bert, drying his hair, noticed her hesitation. "Who is it?"“…It’s Vincent.”Bert’s face lit up. “Vincent’s here? Why aren’t you letting him in? ”Bert pushed past Emily, opening the door eagerly. When he saw Satan, he broke into a broad smile, his face wrinkling with joy. “Come in, come in! You bought a lot of things! You should have called; I’d have had Emily go down and meet you.”Satan smiled, respectful as ever. “No need, it’s not much.”“Not much? This must weigh at least thirty pounds! And you’re not fully recovered yet. It must be freezing outside. Does your throat hurt?”Satan, wearing a pair of black leather gloves, stood in the warmth of the room, the gloves quickly gathering condensation.“Emily, get Vincent a cup of hot water,” Bert urged. “He’s probably caught a chill outside; let him warm up a bit.”“There’s no need. I just sto

464 Last Will

Emily remembered what Dylan had once mentioned: Satan had nearly all his skin burned in that fire. Was that why he couldn’t feel heat?A pang of sorrow twisted her heart, and she found herself frowning.“Emily, are you alright?” Satan asked, his voice filled with concern.“I’m fine,” she replied quickly. “I’ll just get back to cooking… Why don’t you keep Bert company?”Emily hurried back to the kitchen, picking up a carrot and mindlessly peeling it. Why am I feeling this way? She chided herself. I shouldn’t be rattled. And yet, every time she met his gaze, her heart couldn’t help but race.In the bedroom, Satan held the cup of hot water she’d given him. Bert glanced over. “Did Emily bring that for you?”Satan smiled softly. “Yes.”“I knew it! She cares for you, even if she doesn’t show it well,” Bert chuckled. “Have you two set a wedding date?”Satan shook his head. “I haven’t had the chance to discuss it with her yet.”“Well, the sooner, the better. You’re both at a good age for marr

465 Convalescence

Emily didn’t say anything, but her mind was a mess.“You don’t need to say so many sentimental things,” she replied softly. “For Meggie’s sake, I’ll go through with the wedding. Don’t worry.”“But I don’t want a fake wedding,” Satan replied. “I want it to be real.”The elevator stopped on the ground floor.Emily stepped out first, and unlike the warmth of the room upstairs, cold snowflakes were now drifting down outside, and the air felt sharp against her skin, like knives slicing across her face.Standing at the Hilton’s entrance, she asked, “Did you drive here?”“I took a cab.”“Did you sneak out again?”Satan shrugged with a wry smile. “Dylan’s been keeping too close an eye on me.”With no other option, Emily walked to the curb and flagged down a taxi for him, signaling for him to hurry up.“To St. Mary’s Hospital, please,” she instructed, then turned back to him. “When you get there, have Dylan call me to let me know you arrived safely, okay?”He nodded. “And what about you? What

466 The Child

Jackson cut her off. “Then let me take you to meet my family! You’re amazing—they just don’t know you yet. Once they do, they’ll definitely support us being together. That way, we won’t have to choose, and we can stay together, right?”“What if they still don’t agree?”“I’ll talk to them. I’m committed to you for life. They’ll have to come around, whether they agree or not!”Emily couldn’t help but laugh. “But I don’t agree.”Jackson felt a pang of panic. He tried to sit up to reach her hand, but his body was still confined by the plaster, immobilizing him completely, and he was forced to lie back down. “Emily, are you worried because my parents don’t like you? If I love you, their initial reservations don’t matter; they’ll come to accept it.”“That’s part of it,” Emily admitted, “but there’s a more important reason…”A sinking feeling came over Jackson. “…What is it?”……Weather forecasts are rarely reliable, but this time, it turned out to be spot on.By evening, the sky was filled

467 With You Here, I'm Alright

The projects across the company were running smoothly. Ken managed the technical aspects, and Daniel handled administration and overall decision-making. Even during Satan's three-year absence, The Great Wall Group retained its position as New York’s leading business powerhouse.As Emily browsed the recent news on her phone in the car, it was clear the city was engulfed in Christmas cheer, bright and bustling.Satan glanced over. “Any plans for Christmas?”She paused. “Not really. I’ll probably just stay in and watch TV with Bert.”He nodded without pressing further. Emily wondered what had prompted him to ask; he’d usually spend Christmas with his family.A slight smile crept across her face, but her expression held a tinge of sadness. The people in her life seemed to be growing fewer by the year. Christmas used to be difficult but joyful, a shared warmth despite the hardships. This year, it felt especially lonely. Sophia had long severed ties with the family, and William was gone. It

468 Gossip

As soon as Allen left the hospital room, Jackson turned pale and, with a sudden heave, threw up everything he’d just eaten, leaving a mess on the floor.The young nurse, no older than twenty, panicked and rushed toward the door to call a doctor, but Jackson stopped her. “Stay,” he commanded.The nurse looked at him with wide eyes, almost on the verge of tears as she saw his ashen face. “Sir, if you’re unwell, you really should let the doctor check—”“I’m not unwell,” Jackson replied, his voice cold, with a glint of harshness in his eyes. The nurse flinched slightly at his intense gaze.“Are you scared of me?” he asked, a smirk playing on his lips.“N-no, not at all,” the nurse stammered, shaking her head. “It’s just…”“Don’t worry about it,” he said, a faint sneer forming. “Fear is natural. I’ve never been the nicest person, and I don’t pretend to be.”“Oh no, you’re a good person, sir! You… well, you pay me well,” she replied hesitantly.“Money alone doesn’t make someone good,” Jacks

469 Waiting for the Wedding

Emily suddenly felt super self-conscious. “Fine, I’ll drink it. But after I’m done, go back to your office!”With that, she tilted her head back and gulped down the entire glass of lemon water in one go. She quickly shoved the empty glass back into Vincent's hands, saying, "There, all done!"Vincent's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Great. Come to my office at lunchtime," he said with a hint of mischief.Emily frantically tried to signal him with her eyes, mouthing, “People are watching!”Vincent seemed completely unfazed and continued, “It’s freezing outside, so don’t go out. I already asked Dylan to pick up lunch for us; he’ll bring it up, and we’ll eat together.”“...Okay.”He’s gotta be done now, right? Emily thought to herself, hoping he’d leave before the entire office saw this unfold live.“Oh, one more thing,” Vincent added nonchalantly, “Don’t rush off after work. We’ll swing by and pick up your uncle first, then head to my place for dinner with my dad and Meggie.”Emily blink
