Chapter 61

Anne was about to reach for her phone, but Melvin grabbed her handbag and tossed it away. She tried pushing him away in a panic, yet he held onto her tightly and refused to let go."I suggest you don't do anything foolish, Melvin!" she yelled.Melvin was smiling, but his gaze was predatory. He blew a breath in her direction, the stench of alcohol strong on him. It was clear he had been drinking quite a bit."Do you want to do it on the streets or in the love hotel across the road?" he asked in a suggestive tone as he gripped onto her arm.Anne tried to break free, but Melvin was too strong for her. She slowly breathed, calming herself down. "Do… Do you still mean what you said previously?""What?" Melvin asked, letting out a drunken hiccup.Anne replied, "You said you could take care of me by giving me 80,000 dollars per month?"Melvin burst out laughing upon hearing her words. "Just as I thought, you really are a bitch who's only out for the price!""I can't escape from you an

The entrance of the villa was just ahead, so Anne broke into a run and quickly made her way in.Just as she was about to feel relieved, she turned and saw the man had also entered the compound. She frowned, hastening her steps back until she reached the entrance of her house. Yet, the man followed her all the way over."What are you trying to do?" she asked him as she turned around.The streetlamps in the neighborhood were fairly bright, so Anne got a good look at his face this time. Even in this tense situation, she couldn't help but gasp.The man was extremely beautiful—even more so than to be described as handsome.He had almond-shaped eyes and porcelain skin. His nose was high, and his lips were red and plump. His features were already stunning on their own, but together, they were simply breathtaking.Yet, what was even more striking than his perfect looks was the way he carried himself. He gave her a wry smile, completely mischievous yet undeniably proud and noble.It wa

After a sleepless night, it was already bright in the day by the time Anne woke up. Harvey had already gotten up.She tried to sit up, but her body was aching everywhere. The blanket slipped off as she propped herself up. Only then that she realized she was naked, with love bites all over her body. Her face heated up involuntarily.Harvey had placed Anne's nightgown at the head of the bed—even her underwear was there. After a moment of orienting herself, she put them on and went to the bathroom to wash up.As she made her way downstairs, she overheard him talking on the speakerphone."You know we're being sincere, Nathan. Otherwise, we wouldn't have cooperated with you in revising the acquisition plan multiple times," Harvey said.Anne walked to the dining hall and saw him cooking in the kitchen. He was wearing baggy jeans, but his upper body was bare. His broad shoulders and narrow waist showed off his physique entirely.She had often imagined Harvey in her mind—dressed in a sui

Harvey pointed to his abs, then to his face. "I just have to sit at the entrance like a statue, and customers would come pouring in."Anne covered her eyes and laughed. For some reason, she found it funny just picturing the scene."I'm sorry. You must have had a hard time back then." She tried to keep her laughter in and put on a look of sympathy.Harvey nodded. "It was indeed a hard time back then.""At least you made it through now," Anne said.Harvey replied, "I guess so."She took another spoonful of chowder. "This bowl of chowder is too big. I won't be able to finish it.""Just eat up," he said.Anne ended up unable to finish it. She was about to take them to the kitchen and toss them out, but Harvey took the bowl over and finished it in no time."What are we doing today?" she asked as she helped him clean the kitchen.Before, Anne used to handle everything on her own—cooking, cleaning the kitchen, and washing the dishes. But now, Harvey took on most of the work."We'll

"Anyway, I just don't like being second to anyone. If not, then maybe the island—" Sophia stopped mid-sentence when she spotted Anne.In an instant, her frustration vanished, replaced by a bright smile. "What a coincidence, Anne! By the way, Zachery and I were discussing wedding venues. Do you mind giving us some opinions?"Anne snorted and said, "Sure.""Well, have you heard of Havryn Castle?" Sophia asked.Anne gasped and exaggerated her expressions. "Of course I've heard of it! When Zachery was still my boyfriend, I told him I loved castle weddings. It would've been an unforgettable experience if I could have a wedding at Havryn Castle!"She then put on a look of envy. "Are you guys really having your wedding at Havryn Castle? It must have been hard to book it, right?"Sophia basked in Anne's envy. "That's right. We'll be having our wedding at Havryn Castle. You have to come!""Of course," Anne replied.Delighted, Sophia turned to Zachery and said, "Let's just book Havryn Ca

At that moment, a woman wearing an apron came out. She was carrying a six- or seven-month-old baby in one arm and a bundle of beer in another while also shouting over her shoulder, "A seafood pizza for Table No. 4!"She handed the beers to a group of customers and gave them a bottle opener. "Sorry for the long wait. It's been really busy here. We'll give you a discount later to make up for it."As the customers were mostly students or nearby residents, they were familiar with each other.This particular table was filled with students. They called the woman "miss" and complimented her generosity when they heard her, making her bellow in laughter.The woman stopped to chat for a bit. As she was about to head indoors, she casually glanced over and lit up with joy."Oh, my, you're here, Dr. Stafford!" She hurried over while carrying her baby. "You should've given us a call beforehand so that I could pick you up at the alley entrance!"The woman reached out a hand, pausing for a momen

It was only up to Anne to take on the challenge, as the other two doctors were too scared to step in then. The surgery lasted six to seven hours, but miraculously, both mother and baby pulled through.Since Kathy often brought Danny to visit her in the hospital, she was rather familiar with him. She playfully teased him, and he asked to be held once he recognized her."Hey, you should look carefully at me! I'm your godfather!" Harvey turned Danny's face so that he could look at him, yet Danny insisted on going into Anne's arms.Anne reached out for Danny and kissed him on the forehead. "You're Danny's godfather?""A self-appointed one," Harvey replied.Anne chuckled. "Wouldn't I become his godmother, then?""Of course!" Harvey replied.After playing with Danny for a little while, they both walked toward the restaurant.Charles was busy in the kitchen, but he still made some time to come over and congratulate them. "Order whatever you want. Lunch is on me today!"Harvey huffed.

Anne followed Harvey downstairs and all the way to the door. She grew even more worried seeing Charles, in his apron, with a wrench in hand.On the other hand, Kathy seemed used to it. Holding Danny, she chased after them and yelled, "Hurry back once you're done, Charles! I can't handle everything by myself!"Anne took Danny from her arms so that she could get busy."Darren has a transport team, and they're loading goods at the warehouse with the other teams. Sometimes, they end up competing when there's not much work around, but it's nothing serious," Kathy said.Anne grew even more worried after hearing her words.Kathy chuckled. "I would've been worried if Charles went alone, but I'm not worried now that Harvey is going with him. He truly knows what he's doing, so he won't let things escalate."Anne nodded. At that moment, Danny started grunting in her arms, likely bored. "I'll bring Danny out for a walk."A customer called for Kathy, and she responded before turning back to

Chapter 69

Kathy asked, "Did Harvey not do the house chores?""Oh, he's doing them, too," Anne replied.She was actually referring to the time back when she was still with Zachery. She was the one who took care of all the household chores."I'm telling you. You can never spoil men." Kathy finished wiping the tables in no time and scooted closer to Anne, whispering, "Harvey's cooking is top-notch, so let him cook from now on.""I've tried his seafood chowder, and it's really good!" Anne replied.Kathy said, "Right? He used to work as a chef here."Upon recalling something, Anne asked, "Does he know how to make tacos, then?""Oh, he does it really well!" Kathy said. She then talked about how Harvey wouldn't even head back home but came over and helped out every time he returned for a break.Apparently, his tacos were so delicious that Charles couldn't even recreate the taste once he returned to study abroad. Charles ended up getting complaints from the students from Windleton College."S

Chapter 70

As Harvey put it, Darren often had such random outbursts, so there was no need to pay him any mind.Kathy, afraid that Anne might overthink it, hurried over to explain. She said that Darren was a bachelor and would get upset whenever he heard someone was getting married.She then asked Anne not to mind him, saying that he would calm down on his own after this.…Harvey brought the figs back with him when they left Charles' restaurant.Once they were back home, they sat back-to-back in the sunroom on the second floor, reading as they quietly enjoyed the last rays of sunlight before sunset.They were supposed to make dinner together, but Harvey had a sudden appointment. "I'm thinking whether I should give them a chance for a collaboration."Anne did not ask further as it was work-related. Shortly after Harvey left the house, Jenny called her and invited her for a drink at Julius' bar."You stood me up the last time!" Anne huffed."I had too much to drink last time and forgot I e
