"Wake up, sleepyhead."

Chloe Bishop saw that Xavier Grayson didn't move at all—he seemed to be sound asleep. The theater was nearly empty now, with only the two of them left. If they didn't leave soon, the staff would come to clear the place out.

"Xavier Grayson?"

Still no response.

Chloe Bishop frowned and reached out to feel his forehead.

His temperature was normal—but she caught a flicker of movement beneath his eyelids.

Was he... pretending to be asleep?

So she reached down and gently tickl

    Nicholas Taylor had been in a good mood these past few days—largely because of the baby in Nadia's belly. Not only did everything seem to please him, but he even found himself more willing to chat with the household staff."What happened? I never knew Tracy had a crush on anyone. Who's the boy she likes?"Aunt Vance coughed lightly and exchanged a few whispered giggles with the other maids, their expressions a mix of fondness and amusement. "Who else could it be? That new boy, Lucas. He's been here less than half a month, and he's already got Tracy so smitten she can't eat or sleep. If it weren't for the fact that he needs the money, she probably would've run off with him by now."Nicholas Taylor placed the washed fruit in a strainer to drain, while continuing to rinse some cherry tomatoes. "Lucas? I think I remember him. That good-looking young fellow?"Aunt Vance's smile widened at the mention of Lucas. It seemed Lucas had made quite an impression in the Taylor household—everyone se

    Nadia had successfully been released from the detention center.And this time, she was genuinely pregnant.She had been resting at home for the past few days, barely moving or even jumping, since the pregnancy was still in its early stages—she needed to make it past the three-month mark before the baby would be stable.During this time, Nicholas Taylor had been exceptionally attentive to her.He came home early every day, brought her favorite snacks, and took her out to relax and clear her mind.Nadia was deeply moved.But it was precisely this kind of treatment that began to warp her mindset.In the past, she had longed for Nicholas Taylor's affection. Now, she used this pregnancy as a weapon to throw her weight around.She seemed to believe that being pregnant made her invincible—even the man who doted on her was starting to become an afterthought in her eyes.And Nicholas Taylor didn't think much of it.After all, he'd been through pregnancy with a woman before.When Nora was pregn

    Nicholas Taylor stared at the tiny, moving embryo on the monitor—and there was a light in his eyes. The anticipation and joy in his gaze were impossible to hide.Seeing him like this, Nadia felt, for the first time, the happiness of carrying a child. Perhaps this baby would become the bridge between them. Yes—it could definitely mend the rift between them.Nicholas Taylor watched the little embryo on the screen, and suddenly, memories of accompanying Nora to hospital checkups came flooding back. Back then, it was Nora's first pregnancy. She had placed all her hopes on that child and on him.She had looked at him with such warmth. And Nicholas Taylor had genuinely loved that child too—when he saw that tiny, moving embryo, he'd exclaimed to Nora in amazement, "Look—there's a little life in there. It's moving!"Nora had held his hand gently and said, "Yes. She's our child."Nicholas Taylor had been so young and foolish back then—nothing like the man he was now.Now, looking at this child

    Rick Grayson thought for a moment, then nodded. "I understand, Sister-in-law. I'll give it some serious thought on the plane."Seeing that she'd made up her mind, Chloe Bishop boarded the plane with her.Meanwhile, at the detention center—Nicholas Taylor had just escorted Nadia out.Nadia was supposed to be held for a month.But that morning, he'd received a call from the detention center police.They said Nadia had been vomiting and had seen a doctor—she was pregnant.One week along.One week.Nicholas Taylor let out a sigh. He'd used his connections to get her released early.When Nadia walked out of the detention center, she was still wearing the same clothes as before—a white dress, clean and elegant, making her look almost ethereal.But there was a bruise at the corner of her mouth.She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sun.Then she lowered her gaze and spotted Nicholas Taylor waiting in the car.She stopped in her tracks, and tears welled up instantly.During her tim

    "Fine."Xavier Grayson cast him a long, deep glance, then pulled out his phone and jotted down a phone number on a piece of paper."This is Caesor's number. He's in the hospital right now, as you know. If even Finch can't handle something, give him a call—but I don't think it'll come to that."With that, he turned to look at Finch, who was quietly burying his head in his food.Finch, now put on the spot, looked up helplessly. See? This guy was handing the company over to him again.He nodded. "Got it. If anything happens, I'll blow up your phone."Xavier Grayson smiled.That smile left even Noah stunned. In his memory, Xavier Grayson never smiled. He was always that godlike, untouchable presence. There was nothing he couldn't handle, nothing he couldn't fix. Proud and aloof, radiating an inborn nobility—just standing there made people afraid to approach. At least in Noah's eyes, the person he feared most—and revered most—was his second brother.But this smiling version of his second b

    Xavier Grayson came out of the bathroom and saw the look of relief on Chloe Bishop's face. He walked over."In such a good mood?"Chloe Bishop handed him her phone and rubbed her tired eyes. "I thought Gwen Grayson might have made a mess of things."Xavier Grayson didn't even look at the phone. Instead, he lay down on the bed."The four of you sisters—none of you are simple, if you ask me."Chloe Bishop rested her head on his chest and crossed her legs comfortably. "What an honor."Xavier Grayson chuckled softly, stroking her hair. "I'm thinking that once I get Eagle Enterprises' affairs in order, I'll take Rick Grayson abroad for a while. We can look at schools and see what she wants to study, then get her enrolled."Chloe Bishop thought that was a good idea. "That works. Since Rick Grayson has been staying home these past few days anyway, why not bring Adrian along too? He could use a change of scenery."Xavier Grayson: "Mm. Adrian has probably been feeling stifled at kindergarten t

    Looking into Chloe’s bloodshot eyes, Liam withdrew his probing gaze. He lowered his eyelids, remaining silent and detached, his long lashes veiling whatever emotions stirred beneath.Chloe had always adored Liam’s physical perfection.

    Outside the Operating Room.Chloe sat on a plastic chair, still wearing her million-dollar designer wedding dress. She was trembling, sitting as still as a lifeless mannequin. The dress, once pure and white, was now stained with dark, wet patches of blood. Against the crimson stains, her skin looke

    Chloe pinched the tiny scrap of black lace between her fingers, her expression filled with pure skepticism. "Are you serious? Is this even wearable?"Wouldn't just pinning him down be faster and more efficient? she thought.Bella rolled her eyes at Chloe’s lack of romantic vision. "What do you know

    “Have you found out who did this yet?”Liam Martin’s usually handsome, refined face was currently shrouded in a dark, suffocating shadow. He looked cold and lethal—the literal personification of the calm before a devastating storm.At twenty-four, Liam had spent the last six years clawing his way t
