Chapter 11

The next day, Heather was still fast asleep when a knock on the door pulled her from her dreams. Groggy and half-awake, she shuffled to the door, assuming it was Brett and instinctively mumbled, "Honey…" The moment she sensed the coldness radiating from the person on the other side, clarity snapped back to her. There stood Jason, carrying a canvas and a bag of painting supplies, staring at her with a frosty and disdainful expression—as if it hadn't been him who had passionately embraced her the previous night. Without bothering to respond, he turned, clearly intending to leave, but Heather quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, demanding a kiss.Jason pushed her away, shutting the door behind him, before heading straight to the living room to set up his painting tools. How could someone be so oblivious to the mood? Heather, shrugging off his indifference, decided to take a shower. When she emerged, she pulled the curtains shut, discarded her clothes, and stretched out o

Chapter 12

Heather woke up in Jason's bed. Her gaze fell on his sitting figure by the window. His shirt was unbuttoned, exposing his broad chest, as he worked intently at his easel. She slipped out of bed, barefoot, and padded over to him. The painting had taken shape, revealing a clear outline. In the soft silk sheets, she lay draped in a languid pose, her bare body gracefully illuminated in the artwork. Her expression was serene, not seductive, but almost pure, as if her form was something to be revered. Heather wrapped her arms around his neck from behind. "So, this is how beautiful I am in your eyes, Jason? Is it because you've secretly been in love with me all along?" Jason coldly swatted her hands away. "Touch me again, you can get lost." He was in the zone, completely absorbed in his painting, unwilling to let her break his concentration. As if their fiery, passionate encounter mere moments ago had been nothing more than a creative spark for him—nothing but a tool to inspire hi

Chapter 13

In the end, Heather managed to tag along with Jason to his class reunion. But to her disappointment, Minister Knox's daughter never showed up. Heather and Jason had been in the same year but different classes, so she knew most of the attendees. As soon as they walked in, someone teased, "Well, if it isn't Jason's sister-in-law! What a surprise to see you two together!" Since Brett was always the star of the show, Heather had naturally shared some of his spotlight when they dated. Jason, on the other hand, while handsome and attracting his fair share of admirers, was less charismatic and more reserved, always overshadowed by his older brother. Heather laughed easily, "I just happened to come by the school to visit a teacher. Figured I might as well tag along—hope you don't mind me crashing your reunion meal?"The crowd welcomed her warmly. After all, the future daughter-in-law of the Vanders was someone everyone wanted to cozy up to. As they strolled around the campus, memori

Chapter 14

As Jason hung up the phone, his face sour, Heather couldn't help but feel a gleeful sense of triumph from her little prank. She had successfully forced him into buying a pregnancy test. Not long after, she emerged from the bathroom to find Jason leaning against the wall, waiting for her. Pouting, Heather said, "It didn't show anything. I think I might be getting my period soon though, there was a little blood." Jason showed no reaction—no relief, no disappointment. Heather figured that, aside from anything involving his first love, nothing else really seemed to matter to him. In his eyes, she was probably no more important than Chrishell, just another insignificant passerby.His indifferent attitude inexplicably irritated her. She commanded, "I didn't bring any sanitary pads with me. Go to the store and get me some." Jason's gaze darkened as he stared at her, it was not exactly friendly. Heather bit his ear teasingly. "It's all your fault for being so rough lately. My stomac

Chapter 15

Watching Heather jump up in a panic, Jason merely sat up slowly. He felt no tension, not even the slightest inclination to hide. Heather was terrified. If she got caught, Brett would not let her off easily. She grabbed Jason, pushing him toward the sliding door to the balcony. With a swift motion, she closed the door behind him and dashed outside. Brett stood at the entrance, changing his shoes while pushing a large suitcase. He glanced at her, top to bottom, and asked, "Why are you out of breath? What's going on?" Heather leaped into his arms and kissed him. "I was dreaming. When I heard the door open, I jumped up to greet you. Can you blame me for being out of breath?" Brett held her, studying her face. She looked freshly awakened, her eyes glazed and shimmering, appealingly delicate.He gulped, leaning down to kiss her while his hand slipped beneath her shirt. Heather wondered if the soil in the south had healed the shadow in his heart, but right now, she didn't want

Chapter 16

Heather walked out of the Jenner family home. Just before she could get into her car, Brett caught up with her. His face was dark with anger. "Heather, what do you mean by this?" "In the literal sense of it," Heather said calmly, leaning against the car with a faint smile. "I'm offering a fair price. Don't tell me you can't afford it, Brett." "You're really drawing the line this clearly?" Brett's frustration simmered. "I'm not looking at just this land that you own. The investment for that entire area is huge. I thought you'd support me more." Heather reached out, hooking her arm around his neck. For a moment, Brett thought she was trying to get close to him, and instinctively, he leaned back slightly.But he didn't pull away, looking at her with an expression that tried to seem tender, as if he could still play the part of the devoted lover. Heather's lips curved into a slight smirk. Without warning, she flipped open the collar of his shirt. Beneath it, a fading red mark

Chapter 17

Heather forwarded the gossip she had overheard to Jason again, texting, "Your students are saying you're going to marry into your fiancée's family." Standing at the lectern, Jason scanned the room with a stern expression. "Anyone not paying attention can leave," he said sharply. The students who had been whispering immediately fell silent. Heather gazed at Jason. Today, he was wearing a black casual suit, no tie, and his belt cinched his slim waist, making him look even more tall and elegant.She rested her chin in her hand, a smile tugging at her lips without her realizing it. No wonder his lectures were always packed. Even if they didn't understand the material, at least they had something nice to look at. But lately, Heather had seen him so often that the allure was starting to wear off. Halfway through the lecture, she dozed off. Some time later, a sharp knock on the desk woke her. Groggily, she looked up to see Jason standing over her, his expression stern. "Don't c

Chapter 18

Heather stayed by her mother's side for two days, and at last, her mother really woke up. Overwhelmed with emotion, Heather clutched her mother's hand, crying and laughing. Heather's mother, who was still a bit disoriented, glanced at Jason, who had come by to help bring food. She asked, "Is he my son-in-law?" Heather corrected her mother softly as she fed her, "Mom, this is Jason. Don't you recognize him?" But Heather's mother, confused, persisted, "Isn't Jason my son-in-law? You two have played together since you were both kids." Heather didn't bother correcting her again. She continued feeding her mother and stole a glance at Jason. Over the past two days, he had been around constantly, and it wasn't just Heather's mother who was muddled. The nurses and doctors had all assumed he was her boyfriend. Heather hadn't told anyone that her mother had woken up—not her father, and not Brett. They were preoccupied with buying up land, not only the parcel Heather had sold but also

Chapter 19

Heather got into the car, her thoughts spinning. She tried hard to recall that day. Vaguely, she remembered that after the college entrance exams, she had been with Brett the whole time. They had met up with friends and spent the entire day out, only returning home late at night. In her memory, there was no invitation from Jason for any kind of meeting. Heather concluded that perhaps her mother wasn't fully lucid yet and had confused things. If she foolishly went to ask Jason about an event from years ago, he would surely mock her. What could be more embarrassing than mistaking his indifference for affection? She'd only make a fool of herself.Her phone was in her hand, and she scrolled through her contacts, her finger lingering over Jason's number. She hovered there, indecisive, before backing out. He's probably in class, she thought, and closed her contacts list. Instead, she absentmindedly opened the monitoring app. Oddly enough, instead of hearing Brett's voice, she he

Chapter 20

Heather wiped the corner of her mouth, glancing at Jason with irritation. "What are you staring at? You think I'm pregnant or something? It's your terrible cooking that made me nauseous." Jason furrowed his brow, his gaze lingering on her. He didn't respond, but the way he looked at her was unsettling. Heather took a breath, walked over to him, and suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck. "Jason, do you want me to get pregnant? To have your child?" He pulled her arms away. "Don't. I don't want that." Heather was so frustrated she wanted to bite him. "You're heartless! You say you don't want it, but you don't even bother using protection!"Jason frowned and moved away from her, with the same disgusted expression on his face as always. He acted like he couldn't stand being around her, and that only fueled her desire to get under his skin. She clung to him tighter, and before he could pull away, she bit down on his jaw, hard enough to make him wince. His brows furrowed ev
