“Come in.” I sat up straight and brightened up, thinking that it would be another employee.Instead, Xander pushed open my door. He had a mask and a cap on. He was like a thief sneaking in, crouching on the floor. He closed the door behind him.“I was almost caught, it was so scary!” Once he sat down on the chair, he lightly hammered his chest and exclaimed loudly.“You’re dressed like this on a hot and sunny day. You’ll only garner more attention.” I looked at his outfit and frowned.“What can I do? Fans used to chase after me because they love me. Now, I’m being chased around by paparazzi, reporters, and whoever else wants to take photos of me.” Xander was sprawled in the chair with an expression that seemed to say he was better off dead.He was being seriously slandered recently, causing all his work to come to a screeching halt. He had stopped showing his face in public settings as well. People were desperate to take his photos. The paparazzi were hoping to take scandalous pho

Click! The noise came from his phone that was facing me.I frowned. “Why are you taking photos of me?”“You look good! The photo of you standing below the sunset is incredibly beautiful. It’s a shame you’re not a celebrity.” Xander waved the phone in his hands and laughed.I did not want to be petty with him, so I turned and continued walking. It was remarkably stunning here, like a whole new world. It made one feel carefree and relaxed, allowing people to forget about their problems as they indulged in their joyful moods. Xander kept his phone and walked beside me. “If you like it here, I’ll bring you here more often.”“Thanks.” I did like it here, but it was not necessary for me to come with him. If we were caught on camera again, things would be over for us.As if he could sense my worries, he kept mum. Neither of us spoke as we walked side by side in silence. This place was secluded to begin with, and it was especially quiet with not many people around. Hence, we could rest

“Well, not every woman is so picky. They do have their own considerations as well. As a woman, the focus isn’t on the food trucks by the roadside but the intention of the person who brought them there.” I said faintly.“What do you mean?” Xander lifted his eyes and looked at me.“For example, you brought me here today to share this good find with me. We’re friends, and I'm grateful. However, if you were someone I had just met or am unfamiliar with, I’d have two thoughts about this. It’s either you’re trying to test me, or you don’t respect me. It’s entirely different.“Since we’re friends, I appreciate your gesture, since it’s not easy to find someone who would share nice things with you. But if we were mere acquaintances, do you think I’d still open myself up to you as a woman?”“Did Theo Grant ever test you before? Are you a materialistic woman in his heart?” Xander asked abruptly, his quiet gaze boring into me.I paused. Would he think so?He would, I guess. I remember him men

It was Cindy.She was arranging clothes on the sofa. They were all Theo’s clothes.Miss Woods whispered in my ear, “She was already here when I got back. She went to the second floor and grabbed all these clothes from the room.”I walked over and stared coldly at her. She glared at me without a word. She then turned around and ordered Miss Woods. “Go get Theowy’s toothbrush and shaver.”Miss Woods looked at me, not budging.I took out my phone and called 911.“Hello, I’d like to make a report to the police. Someone is trespassing private property. Please send someone to investigate this matter.” Then, I gave them my house address.“Shut up, Wanda Lane!” Cindy stared at me incredulously after she heard me call the police. She got up and tried to snatch my phone away.I angled myself to dodge her attack and continued, “Please hurry.”After hanging up, I stared at Cindy and said, “This is my house, please leave. Or when the police come, things will get ugly.”Cindy’s face was fl

I wanted to ignore it, but the person behind the door seemed very persistent as the doorbell kept ringing.It may be a villa, but since it was a terrace, the sound of the doorbell was loud and crisp in the dead of night. To prevent my neighbors from getting disturbed, I changed and went down to open the door.As I went down, I peeked at the security camera and was surprised to see Mason standing outside the door.It was so late. Theo was not home, so why was he here?Feeling confused, I opened the door and went out. “Doctor Lynch, it’s late. How may I help you?”Mason glared at me and grunted irritably. “Why didn’t you pick up your phone?”Only just realizing that I had left my phone upstairs, I replied hastily, “Sorry, my phone wasn’t with me. What happened?”“Can both of you not include outsiders in your lovers’ bicker?” Right after he finished his sentence, he went into the house and lay on the sofa. He looked exhausted, and his eyes were bleary like he had been forcefully ya

I looked up at him and said indifferently, “So, are you going to carry this burden your entire life? Theo Grant, I can stop caring, but I refuse to let my child be forced to fight someone else for their dad.”Theo’s onyx eyes darkened, and he replied almost immediately, “I promise, this won’t happen again.”“You’ve already said the same line before. Do you know what a habit means?” Cindy was Theo’s habit, and he had proven time and again that he could not ignore her.My heart softened when I saw how conflicted he was. I did not force him anymore. I faintly said, “Take a nap. The sun’s about to come up.”He lay on his bed and asked in a deep voice, “I heard you came over to sign the consent form for my operation. Were you worried?”How should I reply? I was worried when I heard he got into an accident, but when I knew that he was not badly injured and he was with Cindy at the time of the accident, I was more upset and disheartened than I was worried.However, I did not want to tel

At that moment, I was instantly awoken from my daze and jumped out of bed. “I’m sorry, so sorry. I didn’t do that on purpose. Does it hurt really bad? I’ll go get the doctor.”“I’m fine, I’m just playing with you. What a klutz! Are you hurt?” Theo cradled my wrist in his hands, gently massaging it.After he mentioned it, I realized that my wrist was burning with pain. I must have been too anxious that I did not realize I knocked my hand against the cabinet by the bed.“I’m fine, what about you? Did your wound tear?” I lowered my gaze worriedly. I may not have moved with full strength, but I was still worried since the wound was fresh from the operation.He smirked. “I’m not that fragile. Are you hungry?”“I’m okay.” I shook my head when I saw how carefree he sounded, but his face was still ashen.At that moment, a nurse knocked on the door and asked, “Bed 37, may we hook you up to an IV drip now? You have quite a lot of medication this morning. If you delay it, we might not be ab

“Yes.” He looked at the food container in my hands and nodded.I walked over, propped the bedside table up, and placed the bowl of soup and a spoon before him. I said, “Eat up, I’ll head off to work.”“Do you think I can feed myself in this state?” He raised his right hand that was hooked on a drip and looked at me quizzically.I was flabbergasted. I looked at him with astonishment on my face. Was he really asking me to feed him in a situation like this?He raised his head and his eyebrows at me, his intentions crystal clear. He wanted me to feed him.I…Cindy saw this and quickly stepped forward. “Theowy, it’s not convenient for you to use your hands, so let me feed you. This is the clam chowder I specially made for you at home this morning. Have a try.”After she was done talking, she proceeded to open her food container.Theo’s face changed slightly as he frowned. “No need.”Instantly, there was a subtle change in the atmosphere.Cindy’s hands shook, then she pretended as
