Gilbert's phone rang. He reached for it in his pocket, seeing Haisley's name. Deliberately, he pressed the green button and then the loudspeaker button, placing the phone on the table."Yeah, H.""G, are you coming here?" the girl asked from the other side. Sounds of clattering were audible, and Gilbert could tell she was preparing her breakfast."I am. Later. With the others," Gilbert replied, taking a bite of his food. Meanwhile, Nathan frowned, not understanding. Where? Where was the girl?"Oh, okay then. Come earlier though, okay? We need to shop first. We've run out of groceries. The kids asked for this and that. Have you read the group messages?""I have. Alright then, see you." Then 'click.' The call ended."Where are you all going?" Nathan finally asked. He looked at Gilbert, who raised his head from his meal."To Haisley's place," he replied flatly."Nathan's forehead furrowed. Wasn't the girl supposed to be living here? He questioned silently."Are you so busy that you didn'

"We need to talk. And I know you're not in the mood to deal with the kids' prattle. So just let them be," Gilbert grabbed Haisley's phone and tossed it carelessly onto the fridge. He glanced back at Loretta, who was still frozen in her spot. "Why are you still here?" he asked sharply. Confused, Loretta hurriedly grabbed her bag."Haisley, I'm going home," she bid, her gaze fearful as she looked at Gilbert. Haisley only whispered an apology before the girl left."G, you don't have to be like this," Haisley said with annoyance after Loretta was gone."And what should I be like?!" Gilbert retorted sharply. "What is she really doing here? Since when has she been here? Has she been here since last night?" These questions poured out of Gilbert spontaneously.Haisley walked to his balcony and chose to sit there, ignoring Gilbert, who was still emotional."Haisley?" Gilbert approached, calling the girl with a gentler tone.Haisley glanced at his friend briefly before answering. "She came here

"Haisley said her friends would have lunch there. But it seems Gilbert forbade them from coming," Loretta replied truthfully.Nathan's chest heated instantly. 'What does Gilbert want, really?' he wondered in his mind."What did you tell Haisley earlier?""Why? Did I do something wrong?" Loretta asked again. Her face looked scared. Nathan stared at her in silence. "I didn't say anything. We just talked about last week's matter. When you met my parents and said you wanted a serious relationship. I told Haisley that if we go to America, you'll introduce me to your parents. That's what you told my dad yesterday, right?" Loretta was now uncertain.Nathan cursed under his breath. "Damn!" Surely Haisley and Gilbert misunderstood Loretta's words. Damn! Damn! Damn!Nathan paced back and forth in the living room. The clock showed eight in the evening, but Gilbert hadn't returned yet. He wanted to call his brother and ask about his whereabouts, but he hesitated. Eventually, he decided to return

A few moments earlier, Nathan stared at the old building in front of him. Was this where Haisley lived? Was this place better than Nathan's own home? He snorted and entered the building. The elevator was moving slowly, and Nathan felt impatient. Eventually, he chose to run up the stairs to the floor where Haisley's room was located.He paced back and forth for a moment, torn between barging in forcefully or politely knocking on her door. Eventually, in his remaining patience, Nathan's hand lifted, and he knocked on the door roughly.Haisley opened the door. Her face was flushed, and her hair was disheveled. Nathan's mind instantly turned negative. He ignored her surprised question, walked in, and immediately saw the messy bed.His suspicion was correct. His brother had engaged in inappropriate behavior with Haisley, the girl they were supposed to protect. Instantly, anger surged within him. Rage clouded his mind. Nathan forcefully opened the bathroom door, causing it to slam loudly ag

Nathan then stood up and left her alone. Haisley's chest hurt seeing his treatment of her."Why? Can't you be gentle? Just like how gentle you are with Crystal? Or now with Loretta?" Haisley wondered in her heart. She wiped her tears.Nathan returned with a female doctor behind him."Are you feeling better?" the doctor asked gently. Haisley nodded. "No more pain in your stomach? Or head?" Haisley shook her head. The doctor smiled. "I've prescribed medication for you. If the pain persists after the medication is finished, come back here for further examination, okay?" Haisley simply nodded.She just wanted to go home and sleep in her own bed. She didn't want to see Nathan's angry gaze again.A nurse removed the IV from her hand, and then they left. Nathan grabbed something from the bedside drawer. It turned out to be the prescription the doctor mentioned. He handed it to Haisley.They left the ER together. That's when Haisley felt confused. She didn't have her phone, let alone her wall

When she woke up, her room smelled of food, awakening her appetite. She saw Dean wearing an apron, cooking something in her kitchen. And there was another figure sitting there casually. "Already awake, Snow White?" Gilbert teased with a smile."Did I sleep for long?" She asked, wiping something sticky off her forehead. A wet towel was now in her hand. She saw a basin of water beside the nightstand and finally realized someone had been compressing her."No rice, so I made this instead." Dean arrived with a tray of wheat porridge emitting an onion aroma. The smell made Haisley's stomach growl louder. She smiled, accepting the spoon Dean handed her and started eating.The textured wheat and minced chicken instantly increased her appetite."Drink your tea while it's hot." Gilbert also handed her a cup of lemon-scented tea. Haisley could only mumble a thank you to both men.Not long after the bowl and the tea were finished, Dean took the dirty bowl and cup to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Gilber

Haisley felt like a spoiled child. With Dean and Gilbert in her apartment, these two men truly treated her like a princess, and they were her guards. Gilbert didn't hesitate to wash Haisley's clothes, which had been neglected for two days because she was feeling unwell. Despite Haisley's protests, he insisted on doing it. However, behind that kindness, Gilbert mocked her when he found her underwear that he had washed."Look, Haisley's size is just this." Gilbert even demonstrated the use of his bra in front of Dean. When Haisley's face turned red with embarrassment, Gilbert just laughed."Maybe that's why Nathan rejected her?" teased Dean, his eyes glancing at Haisley. Haisley threw a pillow at him."H, how about getting breast implants? Many college girls do it." Gilbert teased her again."G, ew!" Haisley felt uncomfortable just thinking about it. Although she wasn't really embarrassed or lacking in confidence. "If I get breast implants, I might end up hunchbacked," she replied, givi

"If not what?" This question came from Gilbert, who had returned from upstairs. All four pairs of eyes looked at him simultaneously. Gilbert looked at Dean with a questioning expression. "What are you guys talking about?" he asked, curious. His large hands now gently pushed Haisley and Dean, who was still faithfully holding her, to step out of the lobby."It's not important, G," Haisley replied softly as Gilbert matched his steps with hers.However, Loretta reacted differently. In her steps, she turned her head back with an accusing gaze at Gilbert. "Why are you pretending to be Haisley's boyfriend when she already has Dean?" she pouted playfully. Gilbert looked back at Dean and Haisley.Dean murmured something to him, prompting Gilbert to respond. "You never asked," he said flatly. "And Haisley isn't someone who likes to show off." That was his brief answer.Loretta looked back again. "Since when?" she asked, more directed at Haisley and Dean. "Have you two been together for a long t
