3Marcus was involved in a car accident. When I heard the news, the glass in my hand fell on the floor. I postponed the meeting and hurried to the hospital.When I arrived, the Meyer family and Clara were all there for him.His head was swathed in white gauze, and his face was a shade paler than usual. He looked fragile but still charming. My heart ached for him."Mr. and Mrs. Meyer," I greeted Marcus' parents.They most likely did not expect me to receive the news so quickly, nor did they anticipate that I would arrive so soon and show such concern for Marcus.The Sherwoods' daughter had a reputation for being cold-blooded. Gossip held that I had even framed my own father to gain power. This gossip had already circulated widely in my social circle.No one wanted to associate with someone as ill-reputed as me.Mr. and Mrs. Meyers politely smiled at me and said, "Thank you, Lea. Marcus is fine. Please don't worry."Then, the two of them left the ward and left us some space."M

5On the first day of cooking, I blew up the kitchen.Cayden wished he could kill me.He kept scolding me as he dealt with the mess I created.He was not very skilled at this kind of work.I stood pitifully on the side, helping and apologizing.The next day, I did manage to cook something, something carbonized.With a cold face, he asked me to stop.I promised that I would definitely improve.On the third day of cooking, I cooked something that looked like food but was not really edible.On the fourth day of cooking, my cooking became edible. But as picky as Cayden was, he only tried one scoop....After the seventh day of my efforts in the kitchen, he began to dine with me."Alas, you smartass, you can learn anything so quickly.""What?""I mean, my Lea is so capable. You cook pretty well now.""As long as you like it, I will put my heart into it every day from now on." I pursed my lips and smiled implicitly, but there was no real joy in my eyes.From then on, I took

7"So, is your recent cold demeanor towards me related to the return of Arthur Schultz?" he asked. His long lashes buried the surging emotions in his eyes.He made it sound like I had some romantic entanglement with him.I fixed my eyes on Marcus, looking him up and down.There seemed to be nothing I didn't like about this man.Given my character, when my career was in full swing, I would definitely pursue someone like him.So, it was highly likely that I did have a romantic entanglement with him back then.But everything was different at this point.I lost my memory. I had tons of work to catch up on in the Sherwood Corporation. Plus, I didn't have the chance to seek revenge on Cayden yet.After a long silence, I made a decision that I regretted instantly. I decided to tell him the truth. "I've lost my memory. I can't remember you."Marcus pursed his thin lips, his face turning as cold as ice. "Lea, why do you always play tricks on me?"After saying that, he left, as if he

9As it turned out, Marcus' idea of "starting over" was to pursue me and patiently wait for me to fall in love with him once more.Since he didn't seem to mind that I would eventually marry Arthur, I saw no reason to object either.It was a public holiday that day, and I decided to stay at home and work remotely.Dressed in a silk nightdress, I comfortably curled up on the sofa to tend to some paperwork, feeling rather lazy.The phone rang and I picked it up without even looking at the caller ID."Shall we go out for dinner?""No." I frowned and refused, only to realize the call was from Marcus.After a moment of silence, I spoke up again to make an excuse, "I'm catching a cold, feeling dizzy.""Have you taken any medicine?"The series of lies made me sound a little guilty as I said, "Yes, I have."He hung up after saying nothing more than, "Have a good rest.I was stunned for a while but quickly regained my focus and immersed myself in work once more.Upon completing my t

11I looked at the continuously dropping stocks of the Meyer Corporation in the office and couldn't help but burst out laughing.Cayden stormed in like a mad dog unleashed, and my assistant couldn't even stop him.I waved to my assistant to let Cayden in."Winner takes all, Mr. Meyer. Why the rush? Have you not made enough money out of my pocket yet?" I leaned back and gave him an unyielding smile."I'm not here to talk about that," Cayden said, his expression a little grim, but with his usual playboy charm still present.The Meyer brothers were starkly different in appearance.Each had their own characteristics.One brother emanated an icy coldness, akin to that of a mountain's peak, keeping all outsiders at bay.The other was like a vibrant flower in full bloom, exuding passion and enchanting all those around him.I raised my eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.I wondered what other reason could have brought him here apart from our ongoing business conflicts."Are

13Cayden spent a few days frequenting bars and clubs, engaging in flirtatious encounters with women.Afterwards, he nonchalantly addressed the media, "How could that be? Ms. Sherwood and I cannot stand each other."We had dinner that day because I wished to express my gratitude for her rare leniency towards me."I don't want her to get married and waste her energy in family life. I need a strong opponent to keep my life interesting."He played the role of the prodigal son who wouldn't return.I played the unrepentant tax collector, ruthless and aggressive.In this inverted parable, our roles felt entirely convincing.The Sherwood family and the Shultz family began to discuss the marriage details.When I was on the plane to Italy for a business trip, I bumped into Cayden, who was taking a young model on a shopping trip for luxury cars in Italy."How generous of you," I said, removing my sunglasses and teasing him."I'm not as generous as you, Ms. Sherwood," Cayden remarked.

15Upon returning home, I immediately confessed everything to my parents.Surprisingly, they didn't place too much blame on me and even accompanied me to meet the Shultz family.We offered our sincere apologies.The Sherwood Corporation also provided proper compensation for their business losses.With Arthur's help, the Shultz family treated us with politeness and civility despite the situation.When Arthur saw us off, my parents got in the car first, leaving space for us to talk in private."Lea, I'm glad you've regained your memory," Arthur said, a sad smile on his face. "Otherwise, if we were to get married, I would be on edge every day, fearing that you would suddenly leave me. I don't have the emotional strength to go through that.""I'm sorry," I said. Arthur and I grew up together, and our friendship meant a lot to me.Nevertheless, I knew that my feelings for Arthur could never be romantic. All I felt was guilt for hurting him.Arthur shook his head in understanding a
Let Me Go, Domineering Presidents My Perfect Boyfriend—Mr. Smith(1)
Author: Ni Hai When I woke up, I found that I was lying next to Henry Smith, the boss of my bestie.His sleeping face was particularly gorgeous, with a high bridged nose and red lips... which might swell up from angular cheilitis."Have you not seen enough?" he asked.The man closed his eyes and frowned, sounding helpless.Realizing that I have stared at him for really a long time, I blushed a little. My legs under the quilt were trembling seriously. "You're awake. Do... do, do I leave right away, or do you want me to make you breakfast?" I asked.After a long time of silence, he slowly opened his eyes, touched his mouth and said, "Why did you kiss me so hard?""Don't let me fall in love. If I do, I'll kiss him as hard as I can."Those were my bold words before I got drunk last night. I didn't expect that I made it.I slowly and gently pulled up the quilt to cover my face. "I'm sorry. I'll pay for your medical expenses."1Henry Smith didn't accept my compensation, but he
