Lucas stared at Wendy, his patience wearing even thinner.But Wendy acted as if she hadn’t noticed at all. She didn’t answer his question and just kept talking on her own.“Lukey, what I want is really simple. How could you forget that?”“What do you want?”As her hand slid across his body, Lucas felt a wave of disgust ripple through him. Goosebumps prickled his skin.He immediately flung her hand off and frowned so tightly it looked like he could crush a mosquito between his brows.“Have some self-respect.”Wendy’s smile froze, but for now, it was still bearable.At the very least, Lucas was still willing to talk to her instead of walking away and locking himself in his room.“Lukey, why are you being so distant? I just wanted to have a meal with you.”Lucas gave her a surprised look, his gaze tinged with disbelief.“Just a meal?”“Of course,” Wendy’s eyes lit up. “Unless, you want to do something more with me? Because I’d be happy to.”Lucas felt a chill crawl down his spine. Was th

Her beautiful eyes slowly closed…By the time Lucas came out of the shower, excitedly heading to the bed, he found Aurora already fast asleep.At first, Lucas thought she was just pretending, playing some sort of couple’s game with him. But as he listened to her steady, gentle breathing, he realized that she really slept. He stood there, momentarily stunned.Lowering his head, he glanced at her, then looked helplessly at Aurora lying in bed.He sighed and murmured quietly, "Fine. Let’s just say I owe you one."Left with no choice, he headed back to the bathroom. The sound of running water filled the space once more. Nearly half an hour passed before Lucas finally returned.He got into bed and gently pulled Aurora into his arms, holding her comfortably as they slept.Aurora’s brows furrowed slightly. She felt a bit uncomfortable at first, but the familiar scent beside her and the secure embrace eased her. Her frown gradually softened.She found a cozy spot on her own, curled up in

Hearing Grace called her name instantly dissolved all the bitterness and resentment in Tessa’s heart.She turned around and saw the tears welling in Grace’s eyes and couldn’t hold back her own tears either.“Mom…”“Oh, my sweet Tessa, what are you standing there for? Come here already,” Grace said, waving at her to hurry over, not to just stand outside like a fool.“You saw me and didn’t even say hello. What’s going on? Are you not planning to acknowledge me as your mother anymore?”Tessa shook her head in a panic. “Of course not, Mom. No matter how much of a mess I’ve made, I still know exactly whose daughter I am.“I was the one who was out of line before. I hope you won’t hold it against me.”Tessa had always thought this was between her and Aurora, not Grace. Her love and respect for Grace had never wavered.In fact, when Grace was ill, she had been even more worried than Aurora was. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have rushed to the hospital the moment she heard.It was because she trul

It was precisely because of this that Grace grew even more wary of Julian.So, he hadn’t come just to visit her?He had an agenda?Grace couldn’t stand people with ulterior motives, and her expression instantly turned cold.Julian noticed the shift in her demeanor. His smile faltered for just a moment, but he quickly composed himself.“Madam Grace, there’s actually something important I wanted to talk to you about.”He looked at Tessa with deep emotion, the affection in his eyes impossible to miss.“I came here today to formally ask for your blessing to marry Tessa.”Tessa’s expression said it all.So, this was what he was really after.Grace, on the other hand, was visibly surprised.Hadn’t both families agreed to discuss this next year?Why bring it up now?Tessa stared at Julian, suspicion churning in her chest. She was convinced that his whole family had something up their sleeve.Why else would they be in such a rush?Even Grace sensed something was off. Still, she kept her ton

Tessa clung to her mother even more tightly, her voice soft with emotion. “Thank you, Mom. You’re the best. I feel so much more at ease with you by my side.”“Alright, enough sweet talk,” Grace said, her tone turning serious. She wasn’t in the mood for playful banter.She had already sensed something was off—Julian’s sudden visit, paired with Tessa’s uncharacteristic behavior, made it clear that something had happened.Otherwise, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.Grace knew her daughter well. Tessa had genuinely liked Julian once.Watching her now, Grace could only think: something must have changed.Tessa caught her mother’s look and gave a sheepish smile. “See? I knew I couldn’t hide anything from you.”“Hmph. You’re my daughter. Of course, I know exactly how you think.”Tessa grew more serious. “Mom, since I’m telling you this, you have to promise not to lose your temper or say anything unnecessary to the Hayes family.“You know this is between you and me.”Grace waved her
