Diana paused for only a second before looking away.Leon hurried after her and called out, "Diana.""Do you need something?" Diana didn;t slow down."I heard you were coming to the convention center, so I wanted to talk to you in person." Leon fell into step beside her, his voice low."There's nothing left for us to talk about." Diana walked to a relatively quiet corner before stopping and turning to face him. "We've already signed the divorce agreement. Once the waiting period is over, we'll get the certificate. Just let the process run its course."Leon swallowed. "Diana, do we really have to be like this?""Like what?" Diana asked."Like strangers." His voice grew slightly hoarse. "Even if we're getting divorced, we grew up together. We shouldn't be at the point where we can't even have a proper conversation."Diana frowned faintly. "What is it you want to say?""What I want to say is..." Leon seemed to choose his words carefully. "I didn't handle the situation with Helen w

Diana had been busy at the office all day.Just before quitting time, Nina pushed the door open and walked in."Ms. Hutton, are you still going to tonight's economic forum?" Holding a stack of documents against her chest, she added, "It's raining hard right now. The roads might be difficult.""I'm going." Diana set down her pen. "The organizers have everything arranged. It wouldn't be appropriate to cancel at the last minute."Nina nodded and held out the documents. "This is the forum's attendee list. Take a look first."Diana accepted the documents and flipped through them. Her gaze stopped partway down the list: Jillson Group Executive Vice President, Hugo Kingston."Let me know when the car is ready.""Yes."Diana set the documents aside and picked up her pen to continue reviewing paperwork.Then her pen paused.Without warning, the memory of Hugo's last visit to Seraph Villa for dinner surfaced in her mind.He had been wearing that dark blue coat, his posture straight an

In Seraph Villa, Diana had just stepped out of the shower, her hair still damp, when her phone suddenly buzzed.Hugo had sent a photo of Norchester's night skyline. Skyscrapers rose in dense rows, their lights glittering against the darkness.Hugo: [Hey, the night view here in Norchester isn't as nice as Brimcrest's.]A smile tugged at her lips. Holding the phone in one hand, she typed back: [Then why are you still there?]His reply arrived seconds later.Hugo: [I'll just have to wait for Grandpa to let me go.]She paused before typing: [Then spend more time with him while you're there. Stop thinking about coming back so much.]Hugo: [Don't want me to come back?]Diana stared at the message. Something about it felt off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it. In the end, she replied with only two words.Diana: [Suit yourself.]After sending the message, she set the phone on the nightstand, dried her hair, and lay down.As soon as she closed her eyes, the image of Leo

Tiffany had neither refused nor agreed.Sydney understood and did not press the issue. Instead, she said, "Ray has changed a lot lately. The last time he came to Delta Mansion, even Grandma said he seemed steadier than before."Tiffany didn't respond, but the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. Sydney noticed, though she chose not to call attention to it.The two sat together a while longer. Then Tiffany checked the time. "If your man finds out I kept you out late, he won't let me see you next time. Let's go.""He wouldn't." Sydney stood with a laugh and picked up an armful of shopping bags.Tiffany immediately took more than half of them. "Give those to me. You're a top-priority case these days."The two walked side by side toward the parking lot. As they passed a baby goods store, Tiffany suddenly stopped."What's wrong?"Sydney followed her gaze. In the display window sat a set of crib bedding, complete with a pale pink blanket embroidered with moons and stars."Nothing.

By the time Sydney arrived at the mall, Tiffany was already waiting outside the coffee shop. She wore an oatmeal-colored coat over a black turtleneck sweater, with her hair falling loosely over her shoulders. She looked less polished than usual, more relaxed.Even so, Sydney noticed the faint shadows beneath her eyes at a glance.Sydney walked over and linked arms with her in an easy, familiar gesture. "How long have you been waiting?""Just got here." Tiffany handed her the hot latte she was holding. "I got this for you. It's still hot."Sydney took it and sipped. The warm, slightly bitter drink slid down her throat, and she felt herself warm up a little.Tilting her head, she studied Tiffany. "So, what's going on?"Tiffany did not answer. She slipped her arm through Sydney's and headed into the mall. "Let's look around first. It's been ages since we went shopping together."The two of them browsed from the first floor to the third. Tiffany tried on a few outfits but bought onl

"Even if it hurts, it's only because I once took this marriage seriously." Diana's tone remained even. "Mom, staying in this marriage would only make things worse. I won't regret the divorce."Florence looked at her daughter's calm expression, and her heart ached more than she could bear."All right, as long as you know what you're doing." Florence sighed and chose not to press the matter. "Take things one step at a time from here on."Just as the conversation ended, the sound of a car engine drifted in from outside. Out of habit, Diana glanced toward the floor-to-ceiling window, and her brow furrowed slightly.A black sedan pulled up to the courtyard gate. A man in a sharp suit stepped out of the driver's seat carrying several gift bags.It was Leon.Florence saw him as well, and her expression darkened slightly. "Why is he here?"Diana walked to the door and watched Leon approach at an unhurried pace. "Why are you here?"Leon's tone was casual. "There's a new project in Joule

Sydney frowned and instinctively turned to Julian. His expression had cooled, and asked steadily, "Since when did Sterling Corp.'s decisions become yours to make?"Eloise lifted her chin and demanded unyieldingly, "When you can no longer separate business from personal affairs, how can this company

Eloise narrowed her eyes, the lines at their corners deepening with calculation. "You're certain it'll work?""You really don't trust me enough." Penelope's tone brimmed with confidence.Falsifying efficacy data could destroy careers and ruin an entire corporation. Sydney's career was already as g

Before Sydney could finish her sentence, the data finally came through. She and Marcus bent over the screen together, and in each other's eyes they saw the same look—relief and exhilaration mingled in perfect balance.The drug's approval for market release was virtually guaranteed.Marcus grinned.

Sydney was a doctor, but she rarely practiced what she preached. She could list off endless health tips for her patients, yet in her own life? Sweets, ice-cold drinks, spicy food, greasy food—whatever looked good, she ate it. So, occasional stomach discomfort was nothing new.Even so, Caleb couldn'
