"You…I…," Gwyneth stammered.Liam appeared serious, but he was ecstatic about her response. He doubted the word "cute" could correctly describe his wife, but it was the only one he could think of at the time.She chided, "Liam, why didn't you ask me first? Did I give you permission to live with me?"He retorted, "To be completely honest, I couldn't think of any excuse for you to decline. After all, we are legally married."She gritted her teeth but was unable to say anything in response to his solemn but sinister expression.‘There are no extra rooms available. Where would he go if I kicked him out? Do I want to let him sleep on the street? This man made the long trip to Glacier Lake just for me, and he gave it his all to save me. I can't do this to him for emotional or moral reasons.’She sighed helplessly and agreed to let him stay. However, this did not mean she was content or at ease with the situation.He saw that her expression was ice cold. He was not in a rush, especia

Hayden could not remember how their discussion ended. He returned to his room and violently slammed the door, feeling nothing when his shoulder wound reopened. He fought to keep his rage under control as he sat on the couch and eventually calmed down.Gwyneth and Liam were married, but Hayden believed that their marriage was likely a contractual one. If they had feelings for one another, their affection would have developed during the last three years.Hayden let out a heavy sigh, but he was no longer as upset as before.They did not have love for each other. Their marriage was a facade. He would not give up. If she needed to choose a life partner based on love, Hayden decided not to give in and grant Liam's wish.On the other side, Gwyneth emerged from the bathroom as she dried her hair. She saw Liam seated on the sofa and working. She felt a tightness in her heart. Subconsciously, she dipped her head to check her bathrobe before saying something.Her voice was a little erratic

Typically, Aubrey would be the first to speak. She immediately got up and raised her hand in excitement. Apparently, she was not bothered by yesterday. She suggested, "Gwynnie, I finally get to tag along and visit this scenic spot. Why don't we go for a stroll around Glacier Lake?"Gwyneth chuckled at her suggestion. She could comply with her request without issue. Her previous visits to this site had been work trips, but she had some free time today. It was a nice suggestion to go for a stroll. With that thought in mind, she turned her gaze toward Liam and Hayden. The two also agreed with this suggestion.Their journey from the hotel to Glacier Lake took some time, which Gwyneth used to catch up on some sleep. The drive was very peaceful, but upon arrival at Glacier Lake, Liam's phone started to ring non-stop. He would try to return to Gwyneth's side after he hung up the call, but a new call would come in shortly."You can go ahead and handle your things," Gwyneth urged gently when

Both were businesspeople and understood the ins and outs of the trade, especially as small players in their industries.Liam had invested a lot of manpower and financial resources into this project. He had done it to make things convenient for Gwyneth, and it helped to put her at ease. After all, many in Glen Corporation wanted her to fall. His decision could alleviate some of her worries.When she learned about this, she was deeply moved and grateful to him. Moreover, this man had even told her that he was worried that she would misunderstand that he was neglecting her due to his busy work schedule.The fact that Gwyneth had not felt so touched in a long time caused her eyes to start watering.From a young age, Gwyneth had never experienced love from anyone other than her mother. Moreover, she frequently experienced power struggles and criticisms as the daughter of a wealthy family. Her heart was wrapped in a thick layer of ice, both to reject others and protect herself. She had

As the car swayed throughout the journey, Aubrey started to feel sleepy and eventually fell asleep. The only one awake was Hayden, and he secretly balled up his fists when he caught a glimpse of the two in the rearview mirror.As usual, Liam followed Gwyneth to their room after arriving at the hotel.As soon as they entered, she hurried to the bathroom and prepared a hot bath. She walked out and saw Liam sitting on the sofa with his head hung low. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight.His sudden quietness stunned her because she had probably gotten used to his talkative nature.She urged softly, "You need to take a hot bath. It'll help you feel better."Her tone was imposing and caring at the same time.Liam slowly looked up when he heard her voice. He smiled at her and quietly went into the bathroom. Thirty minutes later, he emerged in a bathrobe and appeared much more energized.She picked up a hairdryer when she saw him and motioned for him to approach.He was not expecti
