After that, apart from working, I spent the majority of my time with Cecilia. She was passionate about cooking all day and fed me with her food like a lab rat. I did not even bother putting up a struggle and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.I was still feeling quite down and had not been sleeping well. I often sat on the balcony the whole night.Cecilia had brought me to get a prescription for my insomnia that was suitable for pregnant women. However, I often forgot about it and would only take the medication when she reminded me.Theo had not shown up, and from what Heidi told me, he seemed to have gone abroad.Several phases of the show’s filming had been successfully completed. Everything went well, and the premiere broadcast was well-received. The ratings and comments about the show only grew. The final round would be carried out this afternoon.The spokesperson would be announced and they would sign the contract on the spot. Xander was like a dark horse, cutting his way

After a long time, he got into bed, embraced me from behind, and stroked my long hair with one hand. He asked softly, “Did you really mean it?”“... What?” I asked. I said too many things just now and was not sure what he was referring to.He turned my body over so that I would be facing him. Cupping my face in his hands, he said, “That you love me so much you can’t leave me.”My cheeks were burning and I was terribly embarrassed. It was the first time I said such things and I did not expect him to repeat them.“Okay, I won’t ask.” He chuckled before continuing, “But, you can’t do silly things like that again. Don’t you know what will happen if you do that? You’re so silly, aren’t you?” Having said that, he gently knocked my forehead with his finger.I frowned in pain but did not say anything.I did not know what overcame me then. I just could not control my emotions when I saw Cindy standing there.Thinking about it now, it was really silly of me to do that. Cindy was not worth

I looked at him, not knowing what he meant by that.“I’ve always thought of it as my responsibility and didn’t know that my actions would hurt you. From now on, stay with me, okay?” He stared at me with a glimmer in his eyes while waiting for my answer.“Okay.” I nodded gently. I did not know what he wanted to do, but his demeanor made it hard for me to refuse.He got up and tried to hold me but I rejected him and insisted on walking on my own. He took my shoulder and we went downstairs together.Downstairs, Cindy had changed into a princess nightgown and was sitting on the sofa, pouting and sulking. Sitting beside her and softly comforting her was Zedd, who had arrived some time ago.Theo held me and we both sat down on the other end of the couch.Cindy stood up and dragged Theo’s hand off my shoulder while saying with tears in her eyes, “I was wrong, Theowy. I shouldn’t have come over in the middle of the night to disturb you, but I was really scared to be alone. Please don’t b

After all these years, Theo had spoiled Cindy into a princess who lived a noble and proud life. At this moment, however, she completely abandoned her dignity, image, and limits… That made her look somewhat pitiful.Love could make a person humble.I sighed. I was the same in the past.“You’re awake?” There was suddenly the sound of a door opening behind me.Startled, I turned around. Mason was clad in all-black attire, standing at the study while smiling at me.“Shh, keep it down.” I quickly ran over. “What are you doing here?” I was thinking of going to the hospital to meet him.“Theo said he wanted to stay at home to take care of you, so he asked us to come over for a meeting.” He shrugged.“I happened to be looking for you. Let’s talk inside.” Afraid that Mason would find out that I was eavesdropping, I quickly entered the study first.“What’s up?” His tone was bland, his expression as usual.“I need you to treat me.” I sat on the sofa in the study, deliberating how to star

Upon reminding them, the young ladies checked their watches in a panic before grabbing their hotdogs and darting across the road.I watched them run. They were so full of youth that I could not help but sigh. It was nice to be young. My heavy mood was suddenly lifted.This was how the world was. No one was satisfied with their current situation and would constantly complain about life while envying others. One would not know that what one hated was precisely what others yearned for.Upon returning to the office, Heidi reported to me the progress of the advertisement shooting.The new product this time around was a diamond ring, so the director wrote a script about the male and female leads falling in love after a chance encounter on a trip to the beach. They later experienced separation, and the ending was of the male lead bringing a diamond ring to the city where the female lead was for a romantic proposal.Although this short commercial had a cheesy plot, the male lead was the g
