  Rachel's face turned even paler as she listened to their comments. At that moment, the only thing she felt genuinely thankful for was that she hadn't planned on having a child in the past few years.Otherwise, she could already imagine how miserable her life would have been.Holding a newborn in her arms while watching her husband, the father of her child, accompany another woman to prenatal checkups. She and her child, like abandoned strays, would have to face long, lonely nights on their own.For women, having a child meant acquiring a weakness.But being alone and childless meant she could walk away at any time, get a divorce, and start a brand new life. That thought alone helped her breathe a little easier.William had clearly overheard the waiters' remarks just now. He frowned and turned to Rachel. "Are you pregnant?"Rachel had initially planned to say no, but for some reason, she found herself wanting to test him. She wanted to see how William would react to the possibilit

  William remembered all those moments they had once shared, but what he couldn't change was the fact that he no longer loved Rachel. Rachel actually felt a trace of regret. If William still loved her now, and if all of this had truly been for her, she would've been over the moon with joy. But right now, everything he did just made her feel sick. It felt fake and utterly repulsive.She was certain William must be feeling just as miserable.After all, pretending to be in love with someone you didn't care about and putting in all that time and effort for these so-called surprises must've been exhausting.William smiled in satisfaction. He then turned to her and asked, "Do you like it?"Rachel forced a stiff smile. "I do."William took her hand and led her to the window. The sky outside had already turned dark. Standing beside her, William suddenly snapped his fingers.A thunderous boom echoed outside, making Rachel flinch. But before she could even react, dazzling fireworks burst o

  Rachel turned and said to William, "Honestly, there's no need to go through all this trouble. We're already together now, so it's really not necessary."What she really meant was there was no need for William to keep putting on this act. His performance didn't come across as romantic at all. If anything, it felt nauseating.But William just chuckled and affectionately ruffled her hair."Silly girl, how could it be trouble? I want us to look back on these memories when we're old and gray. It'll be something worth remembering."Rachel couldn't help the bitter sarcasm rising in her chest as she looked at William's face. He still looked as gentle and affectionate as always. He was looking at her with patient, loving eyes.But to her, it all felt unfamiliar now.She wanted to ask him, when he said 'old and gray', wasn't he really thinking of Samantha? Someday, they would grow old together and watch videos like this, reminiscing about their love story.Since William seemed so committe

  "I knew you'd be here," William said.Rachel was very glad she had brought Cecilia over. If William had shown up and she hadn't been there, it would've stirred up another storm for sure.She looked at the roses in his hand with a puzzled expression. "What made you think of bringing roses?""Did you forget? Our anniversary is in a couple of days. I know it's not the actual day yet, but I wanted to surprise you a little early. And this isn't all. I have more planned. This is just the appetizer."William held the bouquet out to her. Rachel paused for a moment before reaching out to take it. There was no spark of excitement in her chest and none of that giddy feeling of receiving a gift from someone she loved.Her mood was strangely calm. She accepted the roses with a blank expression."Thanks.""There's more. Come here."He led her to stand in front of the television. He plugged in a USB drive and brought a video up on the screen.It was Rachel in her college uniform, with her ea

  "Alright, I said it's fine, so it's fine. Just sign the papers. If everything looks good, you can move in within the next couple of days. I've already booked the movers for you," Rachel said.Cecilia was so excited she nearly swore out loud. "Rachel, meeting you must be the result of all the good karma I built up in my previous life!" She hugged Rachel tightly and grinned from ear to ear. "I've never lived in such a nice place in my entire life!"Rachel patted her shoulder lightly."Alright, just settle in and treat this as your home. The lease is for five years, so that means you won't need to worry about house-hunting again for a while. And nobody will raise the rent either!"Cecilia was so overwhelmed she nearly screamed. "Oh my goodness! How did I get so lucky to have a friend like you? I'm seriously over the moon!"Rachel handed over all the paperwork.Noticing how Rachel was in a hurry, Cecilia asked curiously, "You've been super busy these days. What exactly have you been

  Yale shut the car door and walked into the apartment with a document.He placed it on Tyler's desk. "Mr. Hunt, here's the finalized draft you requested. It can be published tomorrow."Tyler skimmed through the pages and nodded. "Okay. Post it after midnight tonight."It was a piece about him and Yvette, worded carefully to suggest the Lloyd family and the Hunt family were in talks but not officially involved. This way, Rachel would be completely cleared of suspicion.Yale nodded slightly. "If there's nothing else, I'll be heading out. Ms. Lloyd is still waiting outside.""Go."As Yale exited the apartment, he couldn't help but wonder if Tyler really liked Rachel. Why not just say so? Why did he go through all this trouble behind the scenes?Tyler had specifically asked him to deliver the document just so he could give Rachel a ride. Tyler had never said it outright, but after working with him for so many years, Yale knew exactly what that meant.There was a digital copy of the
