Tiana looked up. Calvin was walking over.He gently took her hand and asked, "Are you okay?"Tiana smiled and nodded, saying, "It's okay."Wendy and Larry naturally noticed Calvin as well.Wendy knew Calvin and had long suspected his relationship with Tiana was special. Now, seeing him holding Tiana's hand, she spoke in a slightly serious tone."Mr. Luther, is it? Tiana is Wilson's wife. Don't you think what you're doing is inappropriate?"Calvin calmly said, "Mrs. Tate, what you're saying isn't true. Tiana and Dr. Tate are already divorced, and she is now my girlfriend."When the word "girlfriend" was mentioned, Wendy's and Larry's expressions changed immediately.Wendy especially could hardly believe that Calvin wanted Tiana to be his girlfriend!In her mind, Calvin, being a wealthy young man, was probably just interested in Tiana for the novelty and was toying with her.How could he possibly not mind that Tiana was divorced? He was definitely just putting on an act, trying

"Even if you can endure it, I don't want to see you feeling awkward," Tiana continued. "And I certainly don't want you to build up resentment toward me every time something like this happens."So, rather than ending up as resentful partners, it's better to break up now."Hearing what Tiana said, Calvin felt both amused and exasperated. "How would your past marriage make things awkward for me?"A divorce isn't a permanent mark of shame. Tiana, your way of thinking is completely wrong."Tiana felt both touched and a bit bitter upon hearing those words. "So, you not speaking in the car wasn't because you were mad at me, right?"Calvin helplessly took Tiana's hand and said, "I'm not angry, especially not at you. I'm just worried."Tiana asked in confusion, "Worried about what?"Calvin said, "You've always had strong feelings for Dr. Tate. If it hadn't been for that day at the restaurant when Mrs. Tate forcefully took you back home and caused a huge scene, you wouldn't have divorced

Sage asked while playing with Thorn, "What is it, Ms. Sutton?"Abby, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "Leo is really serious about the idea of me marrying Mr. Holcomb."I've heard that Leo's been putting a lot of pressure on him lately. He even reached out to some board members to try to have him removed from his position as CEO."Sage paused slightly while petting the cat. Shane had previously informed her that Leo was contacting shareholders to target Ian and try to sideline him.At that time, Shane also guessed that Leo was trying to force Ian to agree to something. It now seemed that he was correct.Leo wanted to use this situation to force Ian and Abby into an arranged marriage."Mr. Holcomb is not the type to sit around and wait for things to happen."Over the years, he has achieved a lot in Holcomb Corporation, and everyone has seen it. That's why many board members support him. It's just that…"Abby hesitated for a moment.Seeing that Sage stayed silent, she continued

Hearing what Shane said, Sage felt a slight pang of bitterness in her heart.Shane once said that the people in the Morrison family were quite firm in their beliefs. Sage didn't know if George would relent.But Shane was determined when he arranged to meet her that time, with absolutely no intention of compromise.A lot of unexpected things could happen in a year. Plus, one of the conditions the Morrison family gave Shane likely included reducing or avoiding contact with her. Otherwise, Shane wouldn't be so cautious.Sage understood this clearly in her heart, but at this moment, she couldn't bring herself to speak such harsh words.She also switched to a more relaxed tone, saying, "By then, my career should have stabilized, and I'll probably have time to think about my love life."Just as she said that, Sage sensed someone approaching the door.Lifting her head, Sage saw Giselle there, holding a clipboard, as well as the graceful and composed Marcus.The office door was open, a

Since the last time Sage overheard Ian and Leo arguing in the study, she hadn't seen Leo at the manor again.She didn't expect Leo to come today.When Matilda saw him, the cheerful smile on her face faded a bit, replaced by a hint of indifference.Maybe because of Leo's strict demeanor, Sandy seemed to have become less cheerful. She moved over to Sage, who was the closest person to her.Sage gently took Sandy's hand to console her as she respectfully called out to Leo, "Mr. Holcomb."Leo's expression was always stern, and his eyes carried an air of undeniable superiority. When he heard Sage's greeting, he furrowed his brow slightly and gave a perfunctory nod."I told you not to come back without a good reason. Look at you, wearing that stern expression. You've scared Sandy," Linda scolded.Leo said, "She's spoiled by all of you, which is why she acts like a child. She's almost an adult now, but she has no opinions of her own and can't take care of herself!"Sandy shivered sligh
