All Chapters of Dangerous Arrangement: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Mr. Hawthorne was startled by a touch on his back, accompanied by Lilly’s loud voice. The tension in the room immediately escalated as they lay close together in the office. Jasmine quickly buried herself under the blanket, hoping her presence wouldn’t be discovered. Mr. Hawthorne turned his body to see Lilly looking upset. “Daddy, why are you sleeping here? Lilly’s all alone!” she exclaimed with a disappointed tone. “Sorry, Daddy accidentally fell asleep while working last night,” Mr. Hawthorne said as he slowly stood up. The movement of the blanket, which could reveal her hiding place, prompted Jasmine to quickly shift, hiding behind Mr. Hawthorne’s back, seeking protection from Lilly’s gaze. Mr. Hawthorne noticed this movement but chose to ignore it, understanding that they were in a situation that needed to be hidden from Lilly. Mr. Hawthorne’s eyes were drawn to the clothes scattered on the floor, it seemed Lilly hadn’t yet noticed their situation. However, he couldn’t leave

Turning his back on Tristan, who was being carried by Theodore and the driver, Mr. Hawthorne walked toward the car. The ringing of his phone made him pause momentarily, just as he watched Tristan being placed in the trunk.His hand slipped into the pocket of his suit jacket, pulling out the phone. His expression turned serious and displeased as the name “Mr. Harper” flashed on the screen.He answered the call and said, “You still have the nerve to contact Jasmine.”“You ...?! Why is Jasmine’s phone in your hands?”“Because we were making love, and your call interrupted our moment.”“I don’t believe you.”“You need to stop contacting her.”“I have no reason to stop reaching out to her. You should be the one to let go of Jasmine before things get more complicated.”Mr. Hawthorne sneered. “Your threats don’t affect me.”“You’ll regret this,” Mr. Harper replied, his voice filled with anger.Realizing that the conversation was futile, Mr. Hawthorne ended the call and immediately blocked Mr

Jasmine had received a warning letter via email two days ago, requesting her immediate presence to explain her prolonged absence. However, her plans to respond to the university’s summons were postponed because Dr. Lawson detained her.“You know that Kinsley was once married and has a child, so why do you still choose to care for him?” Dr. Lawson asked.“I don’t want to hide the truth from myself.”Dr. Lawson looked at Jasmine with admiration for her courage. “In that case, do you also know that behind Kinsley’s success lies a secret business?”Jasmine frowned, showing signs of confusion. “I have no idea.”“Kinsley hasn’t told you everything yet?”“Is that something I should know?” Jasmine asked in return.“Of course. The incident in the parking lot earlier is most likely connected to that secret business,” Dr. Lawson said seriously.Jasmine shook her head, her face full of doubt. “I don’t understand.”Dr. Lawson pulled his office chair closer to Jasmine, sitting with the back of the

Mr. Hawthorne sat at the edge of the bed, his eyes full of affection as he watched his little daughter, deeply immersed in her dreams. Without disturbing the peace, Jasmine entered the room, blending with the moonlight streaming through the window.“Is Lilly always this excited? She didn't even wake up for dinner and slept soundly the entire way home. She must have been exhausted.”After a few moments passed, Mr. Hawthorne finally responded, “She was more excited than usual this time.”“Today was really enjoyable,” Jasmine said with a yawn.“It seems you need some rest as well.”Mr. Hawthorne approached Jasmine, who was sitting on the other side of the bed. He gently pushed her shoulders until she was lying down and then covered her with a blanket.“What about you? Won’t you rest with us?” Jasmine asked as she laid down.“I’ll join you after I finish my work.”Jasmine didn’t want to miss the chance to say what she had been meaning to, so before drifting off, she said, “Thank you for g

The silence hanging in the air made each step echo clearly. Jasmine’s surprised expression quickly turned into a warm smile as she saw Mr. Hawthorne.“You’re back!” she exclaimed eagerly. “I was practicing for the provisions we’ll be taking with us.”Mr. Hawthorne approached Jasmine, returning her smile with a faint one of his own. As he reached the kitchen table, the enticing aroma of the prepared dishes greeted him.“Try this,” Jasmine said, ready to feed him.Mr. Hawthorne looked at the spoon in front of him with mixed feelings. He opened his mouth hesitantly and accepted the bite Jasmine offered.“Give me your honest opinion,” Jasmine said, waiting hopefully.Mr. Hawthorne wiped his lips and paused for a moment. “This is the first time I’ve tasted your cooking.”“Right! You had an urgent matter back then, so you couldn’t eat with Lilly and me.”“It’s very delicious. I regret missing the chance to dine with you both.”“In that case, I should make use of your kitchen more often,” Ja
