Inside his room, Milo was staring at his computer screen.His face was twisted into a scowl.‘Juvenile?’ he snorted. ‘You are the stupid big bear who is juvenile.’He was about to reply when a knock came from the door.‘Milo, can I come in?’ Alessia asked.Milo immediately turned off the display. ‘Yes, Mommy.’Alessia entered the room and saw that Milo was sitting in front of his desk, with his computer screen turned off.Feeling strange, she walked to him.‘What are you doing?’ Alessia asked while sitting down on the bed.She took a glance at the computer.Milo tapped on a few keys and the screen lit up.It was showing his favourite game.‘I was playing,’ Milo answered. ‘Mommy, why are you looking at me like that?’He was indeed sharp.Alessia said with a smile, ‘I realise that you’ve been very busy lately. What are you up to? Just playing games?’‘Yes.’ he nodded seriously. ‘I’ve recently discovered a new game. It’s about beating up a silly big bear.’‘A silly big bear?’ Alessia ask

Alessia knew that Vince was not insane.She felt that he was probably going through a difficult phase in his life.She had never asked Vince about it out of courtesy.Over time, Vince became a sort of adopted member of the family.It had been a long time since they last met.Alessia was curious to find out what Vince had been up to, but she never anticipated running into Logan at Vince’s office.After returning to the lounge, Alessia sat down and took a deep breath, feeling lost.Should she leave?***‘Please have a try on the coffee, Mr Wilde,’ Vince said.Logan’s eyes fell on the cup of coffee and he stared at it without blinking.Without needing to taste it, Logan could tell that the coffee was well brewed just by smelling it.He had never known about Alessia’s barista skills.In fact, he hadn’t really known Alessia that well when they were still together.Logan then took a sip of the coffee.At first, he could taste the bitterness of it, then the fragrance of the coffee lingered i

After parking the car, Vince and Alessia made their way out of the parking lot.Vince pointed to the crowd. ‘Look at those people who are smiling. They must be the family because they are genuinely happy for the newlyweds.’Alessia shifted her gaze to the crowd.There were some who were indeed smiling brightly.‘I bet those who have their faces screwed up into a frown are the ones who’re feeling sorry for their wallets,’ Vince said while pointing to a smaller part of the crowd. ‘Most of them are forced to be here because they’ve got the invitation and couldn’t figure out a polite way to turn it down.’Alessia’s eyes widened, and her mouth gaped open.She looked at Vince in astonishment. ‘Vince, I’ve only just discovered that you have such a nasty habit.’‘A nasty habit of saying the truth?’ Vince lifted an eyebrow and looked at her.With the sun beaming down on him, his handsome face looked even more attractive.‘No, the nasty habit of pouring cold water on some strangers’ wedding day

Alessia scowled.She knew that Logan had gotten the wrong idea.But it did not matter to her as she had no intention to explain herself.‘That’s my business,’ she said firmly. ‘Let me go.’Seeing her so sickened by him and resisting him, Logan felt a jolt of anger.His lips twisted in a mirthless smile with a hint of bitterness.Alessia looked at his face in bewilderment, clearly not knowing what was on his mind.He was the one who wanted to part ways with her.Why was he acting like the jilted party?‘Let go of me!’ she pushed him fiercely.‘No.’In a fury, Alessia wrestled with all her strength using both her hands and legs.In the scuffle, she hit her back on the door handle.It hurt so much that she gasped in pain.She broke out in a cold sweat.Logan then grabbed her and trapped her between the stall door and himself. ‘You’re not allowed to fall in love with another man.’Alessia stopped struggling.She could feel his chest heaving with his heavy breathing.Her heart ached for so

‘But women love to hear it.’ Heath rolled his eyes. ‘Don’t tell me you never said those three little words to Alessia.’Logan frowned. ‘Love is proven through action, not words.’‘But women care about stuff like that. Emotions and feelings. Why else do you think she chose to be with you?’Logan said nothing, but Heath read his mind. ‘Did you think she stayed with you for your money?’Logan shrugged. ‘You can’t deny that I’m rich.’Heath scoffed. ‘Oh, you’ve really underestimated her. Her father, Mitch Jansen, used to own one of the largest companies in Veridian. She had a pampered life until she left the Jansen family. If she really cares about money and power, why would she leave?’Logan stared at the floor and said nothing.Heath continued, ‘You pushed her away with your own hands. You didn’t like the fact that she has a son, but Vince doesn’t mind. One of my guys told me he heard laughter coming out of the apartment all evening. As you’re wallowing in self-pity, Vince has already m
