Chapter 61

Emerald wasn’t much of an eater, but on the table sat a plate of black gold beef and pine mushroom fried rice. She hadn’t eaten all day, and as soon as she smelled the food, she felt a sudden hunger, and her mouth began to water. She took a spoonful, and the taste exploded on her tongue. The matsutake was fresh, the beef tender, and the black truffle sauce added a distinctive flavor. Beside it was a can of chicken soup, which looked like it had been simmered for hours. It was light in appearance but rich in the natural flavors of the ingredients. People always said food could heal the heart. Emerald never believed that before, but now, she found herself convinced. For the first time in a long while, she didn’t feel so empty inside. Especially after finishing the chicken soup, she felt warmth spreading throughout her body. “It seems you like the chef at Mr. Corrigan’s house.” Emerald hadn’t realized Alaric had come so close. He had finished his bath much faster than she

Chapter 62

While searching for clothes from the previous night, she wandered into the master bedroom and noticed a new row of wardrobes. Opening one, her eyes widened at the sight—an extensive collection of women's clothing.She pulled out a few pieces, unable to believe what she was seeing. Every garment, from undergarments to outerwear, fit her perfectly. The designs were simple yet elegant, made from soft, luxurious fabric. But the most striking were the blouses and dresses, each looking meticulously crafted.Emerald chose a white dress with a green floral pattern, soft and fresh-looking. It fit her like a glove—no more, no less, as if tailored precisely for her body. There was no way these clothes were made overnight.It hit her like a ton of bricks—during those nights together, Alaric had memorized her measurements, committing every detail to memory. Just like Ethan, Alaric had been planning for her all along.Emerald rushed to the orphanage, finding the place in utter chaos. A group of thu

Alaric calmly replied, "I did. These unknown individuals broke into the orphanage under the guise of Corrigan Holdings, maliciously destroyed property, and intentionally harmed others."The officer looked at the bloodied and bruised thugs. "So, there was a fight?"Alaric remained composed. "We’re all law-abiding citizens here. We don’t engage in illegal activities."The police officer glanced at the thugs. "And the blood on them?"Before Alaric could answer, the thug with the large gold chain clung to the officer’s leg."I fell and hurt myself! Please, sir, arrest me!"The man quickly got up and opened the door of the police car, waving eagerly at the chief, "Chief, let’s hurry this up!"The other thugs scrambled to follow, begging as they chased after the police car, "Sir, take us with you too!"The police officers stood there, dumbfounded. It was the first time they had seen people begging to be arrested."There’s too many of you. You won’t all fit in one car," the chief said, stil

Alaric chuckled softly, “Is that what you call thanking me? Even the grandma at the village gate is more enthusiastic than you.”At that, Emerald hooked her arm around his neck and kissed him firmly with her red lips. Since that night at the Altitude Hotel, the two hadn't been intimate again. They were like embers that had never fully gone out, just needing a slight breeze to ignite again. And it would burn even hotter than before.Emerald could clearly feel her desire for this man. It wasn’t about love, just pure, instinctual need. She missed a man—more precisely, she missed Alaric’s body. He had won this game. After tasting him once, Emerald craved more and more.Their lips and teeth intertwined, like two obsessed lovers. The tension between them grew uncontrollably, making Emerald forget where they were—until the car suddenly stopped, forcing them to pull apart. Emerald’s body fell forward but was yanked back into his arms with great force.The young driver, trembling with fear, st

He knew this was her weakness, so he kissed Emerald’s delicate neck. Her arms trembled slightly, struggling to match the tenderness of his touch."Alaric, I can sleep with you as many times as you want, but I only have one heart. If you lose it, you can never get it back." She murmured softly, her voice as lazy as a cat's. "Alaric, can I be your lover?"The way she said it was so casual, as if she were merely commenting on the moon being bright in the sky. When Alaric looked at her, despite Emerald’s attempts to hide it, he saw the unmistakable sadness and weariness deep in her eyes."No, baby," he rejected her again. "If you're trying to thank me for what I did for the kids, it's not necessary. I was just doing what needed to be done, that wasn’t really helping."Emerald didn’t quite understand. She knew the clothes he had prepared in his penthouse were for her. Why had his attitude suddenly changed?"What exactly do you mean?""James likes you very much. I want you to take care of h

Chapter 66

Honestly, his self-control was quite impressive. He hadn’t made any moves in the past few days. In fact, sometimes it was Emerald who had more thoughts about it.Biting her lip, Emerald hesitated to speak.Sensing her discomfort, Alaric asked softly, “Is everything alright?”“It’s just... a bit much.” Emerald stammered, gesturing helplessly with her hands.It was rare to see Emerald like this—flustered and embarrassed. Alaric smiled as he looked at her. “What’s wrong?”“It might... stain your pants.” Emerald muttered softly, stammering.Alaric chuckled lightly. “Why are you so nervous? It’s just a pair of pants.”“That’s not what I meant. It’s just... very messy.” Emerald avoided his gaze, her voice dropping to a near whisper.Alaric placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.“There’s nothing dirty about your body.”Emerald blinked in surprise, finding it hard to believe. She thought men were usually uncomfortable with this kind of conversation. Suddenly, Emerald felt herself getting heavi

Chapter 67

As Ethan approached, he noticed Alaric bent over inside the car. At first, he thought Alaric was reaching for something, but as he got closer, he realized there was a woman tucked underneath him. Everyone knew Alaric had no interest in women. In the past few years, no one had seen a woman by his side. No one knew the real identity of the twins' mother, a detail that had never been made public. Ethan was shocked by the scene he had just witnessed. The man who was always calm and distant seemed quite entertained by the private moment. Ethan couldn't see the woman's face, only her thin arms wrapped around Alaric's neck. Two long legs poked out from the slit of her dress, still wrapped around Alaric’s waist. Her toes, painted a vibrant red, gently nudged him nervously. It looked like she was trying to pull away, but to an outsider, it seemed like a reluctant yet seductive struggle—a moment filled with tension and ambiguity.Ethan’s first thought was: This girl is so fair. Her legs, hoo

Chapter 68

Half an hour later.When Alaric went upstairs, he found Emerald on the terrace, speaking softly on the phone."I really don’t have a choice. I need the money. Can you come by tomorrow for a house inspection? There’s a place closer to the kindergarten that’s available for rent... Alright, let’s finalize it then."After hanging up, Emerald stared at her phone, lost in thought. Her face reflected a mixture of sadness and hesitation.Alaric waited for her to snap out of her thoughts before he approached her."Did you have the cake?"Emerald turned to him, quickly masking her sadness. She smiled gently, her pale complexion glowing softly. Her voice was sweet, with no trace of sorrow."No, I was waiting for you."Alaric walked closer, staring into Emerald's smiling face. "Anything you want to ask?"For instance, why Ethan called him 'uncle,' or the reason for his visit.Emerald’s smile widened. The soft light from the wall lamp highlighted her face, making her glow even more. But her aura r

Chapter 69

After a day of rest, Emerald's mindset returned to its sharp state. Ethan had belittled her over and over again, repeatedly reminding her that she was just an ordinary person with slightly better skills, incapable of making a real impact. His deception was clear: I’m your best option—don’t even think of escaping, or you’ll end up with nothing.Emerald stared at a painting she had created years ago. When day meets night, a crimson sun breaks through the darkness, bringing light to the world. From now on, she would be the light guiding her own life. The days of being controlled by others were over.What’s a mere man, anyway?Emerald dialed a number and spoke, “Hey, it’s me. Is your previous offer still open?”The voice on the other end was full of excitement. “Ms. Greene, it seems you’ve come to your senses. It’s such a waste of talent for someone like you to be a kindergarten teacher. Join me, and I’ll make you a world-renowned designer.”Emerald chuckled softly. “Ivy, I love teaching

Chapter 70

Emerald hadn’t expected Iris to give her such a lecture."I’m your friend, and Gio’s your friend too, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about."Emerald had long noticed who Gio really was. There weren’t many people with the last name “Corrigan” who could casually drive expensive cars like they were toys. Why would someone like him help move his girlfriend’s friend’s belongings?But to her surprise, Gio arrived promptly, and Iris smiled, "Let’s head back to your apartment. The strong guys are on their way."Emerald swallowed. Had she been wrong in her assumptions? Not all rich people were like Ethan. Maybe some were genuinely kind?Soon, Gio arrived. As Emerald packed up her clothes, she heard a lively voice, "Teacher Greene, this painting is beautiful! Could you sell it to me?"Another voice responded, low and calm, "Are you here to help or to rob?"Emerald paused mid-zip and looked up. Their eyes met.Alaric was there, wearing a pair of sports shorts. His loose black T-shirt, dam
