Author: Tangy Candy
Mrs. Hodsteader blinked, startled back to reality, and quickly apologized.

Winnie's cheeks were still flushed. She opened her mouth to say something, but Michael spoke first.

"It's fine. You don't need to concern yourself with what happens between us—my wife is very shy. You can go on with your work."

"Oh… okay, thank you, sir. I understand."

Hearing Michael's words, the housekeeper cast an apologetic glance at Winnie. Seeing that she wasn't upset, Winnie finally felt the tension ease from h

    Trey turned back toward the window, eyes fixed on the two distant towers."Hmph. When Olympus rises, the Hunt and Morrison Groups will finally understand what it means to be at the top and yet feel the chill."Ariana stepped closer, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind, resting her cheek against his back."Perfect," she said softly. "Let's call it Olympus."Trey reached back, grasping her hand, and gave it a gentle squeeze.…That afternoon, in Amadea Prison, Goldmont City.Trey sat in the visitation room, a thick glass partition separating him from the world on the other side.The door opened, and Clarice was escorted in.This was, in fact, their first formal meeting.Trey had heard her name before—back when Ethan had extended a hand in the past—but he had never expected that even a woman as formidable in the business world as Clarice would ultimately lose to Khloe.Now, stripped of her glamorous appearance, she looked worn and haggard, almost unrecognizable compa

    The old Fox Group office he had painstakingly expanded seemed almost laughable compared to this.Trey stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the city skyline beneath him. A faint, self-deprecating smile curved his lips.He had once poured every ounce of energy into the Fox Group, believing that was the pinnacle he could ever reach. Yet now, standing here and looking back, it all felt absurd."What are you thinking about?" Ariana asked, holding a file, following his gaze out the window.Trey looped an arm around her, his expression calm. "Nothing much. Just reminding myself.""Reminding yourself of what?""Why I lost back then," he said quietly.A shadow crossed Ariana's eyes, and a hint of tenderness softened her tone. "Everything that you lost… starting today, I'll help you take it back."Trey bent down and kissed her forehead, then pointed to two buildings in the distance.The Hunt Group headquarters on the left, the Morrison Pharmaceutical tower on the right.One

    One hour later, Khloe stood outside the emergency room, eyes fixed on the light above the door. She didn't blink, afraid that if she looked away for even a second, it might go out.She forced herself to stay calm, but her mind was a chaotic storm of thoughts.Her phone vibrated suddenly.It was a message from Arista: [We'll be there in twelve hours.]When Nick had been rushed in, his condition had already been critical. The hospital immediately issued a critical condition notice, requiring family members to be notified and to sign consent forms.Torn and anxious, Khloe had called Arista.What if…They had a right to see him one last time.Yet in her mind, she was still trapped in the image of Nick, utterly lifeless, being wheeled into the emergency room. She wished, more than anything, that this was just a nightmare.Had fate decided that happiness was never meant to last? That those who were too happy would always be torn apart?"Nick," she whispered, her hand gently resting

    Listening to the steady rise and fall of the breaths against his chest, Nick felt a warmth seep through his heart.The past few days, Khloe had not been able to fall asleep early. So falling asleep like this was rare for her.After a while, he gently freed the arm she had draped over him and carefully lifted her horizontally into his embrace. She stirred slightly, murmuring a soft, unintelligible sound, then sank deeper into sleep.Nick smiled and carried her upstairs.The bedroom was dark. By the faint glow filtering in from the hallway, he laid her on the bed, pulled the covers over her, and leaned down to press a kiss to her lips."Khloe, I love you."She, of course, could not hear him.But being with her, he could never hold it in.He smiled and was about to climb into bed when an unexpected, metallic-sweet taste surged in his chest. It came suddenly, violently—he had no time to suppress it.He lurched upright, staggering toward the bathroom, and as soon as he bent over th

    "Try this." Khloe placed a piece of pork trotter into Nick's bowl. "Mom's secret recipe."Nick immediately leaned over to taste it. "Not bad.""Right?""You make everything taste amazing."Khloe smiled, satisfied, and added another helping to his plate."Eat more. Get your strength back. No more losing weight, understand?" she murmured softly.Nick's movements faltered mid-bite, a quiet, indescribable contentment swelling in his chest, almost ready to burst. His eyes felt warm—he was happy, yet on the verge of tears.So this was… happiness. Pure, unshakable happiness.After dinner, Nick took the initiative to clean up the dishes, not allowing Khloe to lift a finger. She leaned against the kitchen doorway, watching his broad back as he moved between sink and counter."What are you looking at?" he asked, head still down."Looking at my husband, who is extremely handsome," she admitted openly.She stepped closer, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind, pressing her chee

    Khloe felt a ticklish brush against her back and turned her head to dodge him, but the corner of her lips betrayed her with a smile. She knew Nick was happy today. These past few days had weighed on him as heavily as on her, yet he'd remained calm and composed—for her.It seemed the baby had something to say…"Well, over here… don't disturb me in the kitchen. Tonight, I'm going to show off a little!"With Nick so clingy, Khloe could only give in."Okay."Finally, he released her.In the kitchen, Khloe turned and set about her tasks. Nick, showing a keen sense of timing, helped where he could—handing her ingredients, passing utensils—but whenever an opportunity arose, he'd sneak closer to tease her. Sometimes it was a nuzzle to her cheek, other times a gentle press against her lower back.Whenever Khloe noticed, he'd flash an innocent look, as if it were purely accidental."Nick!"Frustrated but amused, Khloe raised her spatula, still smeared with sauce, as if to swat him. "K

    Khloe immediately called Mr. Olson.She knew Winnie's situation well. Even if Michael hadn't asked her to step in, she would have contacted the Olson family anyway.Ethan and Winnie had clashed head-on at the company, causing a huge uproar. The Olson family would very likely seize this chance to m

    "How is my husband's condition now? Is he recovering well?"That was what Khloe cared about most, and she asked it the moment she sat down.The doctors exchanged glances before going over the test results one by one.Overall, all the indicators were normal. Most of the internal bruising had been

    For some reason, Nick said it with a smile—gentle, warm—but the air suddenly felt heavy.Khloe blinked, a sudden ache prickling her nose. "Then I'll grow old with you. But no matter when, in my heart, you'll always be the most handsome man."Nick chuckled quietly, picking up some food for her with

    In Michael's eyes, Winnie's cheeks were faintly flushed. She seemed flustered, unable to utter a single word for a long while.Sunlight gradually filtered into the room, just catching the two of them in a warm glow. But Michael leaned closer, bending slightly forward and blocking half the light in
