LOGINThe night grew later. The clock on the wall already showed nearly ten when the atmosphere in the apartment began to feel warmer than before.Aurora was still sitting on the floor, hugging her new doll. Meanwhile, Daven was busy playing with his remote-control car, steering it here and there.“Look, Ma! It can turn!” Daven exclaimed, his eyes sparkling.Camelia smiled faintly. “Yes, be careful not to crash it.”On the other side, Calvin stood watching. His hands were in his pockets, but his eyes never left the two children.Something trembled inside his chest.Aurora suddenly turned. “Uncle…”Calvin immediately responded. “Yes, sweetheart?”“Will you come here again tomorrow?” she asked innocently.The question made Calvin fall silent for a moment. A small smile appeared on his face. “Yes, if I’m allowed, Uncle will definitely come.”Daven immediately chimed in, “Yes, of course, because Uncle is a good person, so Aurora and I allow Uncle to come. But you have to bring toys again!”Came
Chapter 93The city lights began to turn on as Calvin’s car drove away from the hotel. The atmosphere inside the car was far quieter than when they had arrived.Camelia stared out the window. Her thoughts were still left behind in the VIP room.The way Calvin held her hand. The way he casually said, “She is my wife.”Her hand unconsciously clenched on her lap.“Why are you so quiet?” Calvin asked suddenly.Camelia did not turn immediately. “I’m thinking.”“Thinking about what?”Camelia finally glanced at him. “You went too far earlier.”Calvin smiled faintly. “What do you mean?”“You said I’m your wife in front of them.”“Is that wrong?” Calvin replied casually.Camelia let out a breath. “We’re not like that anymore.”Calvin did not answer immediately. He just looked at the road ahead, his expression hard to read.A few seconds of silence.Then Calvin spoke softly, “I only said what I want.”Camelia frowned. “Don’t start again.”Calvin did not continue. He simply turned the direction
Chapter 92The car stopped in front of the luxurious hotel where the banquet was being held. Crystal lights at the entrance reflected a warm glow, creating an elegant atmosphere the moment they stepped out.Camelia stepped out first. The dress she wore was simple, but it fit her body perfectly. Not flashy… but enough to make her look graceful.Calvin stepped out from the other side. The dark gray suit chosen by Camelia made him look neat and authoritative.For a few seconds… they stood side by side.Unconsciously—it looked harmonious.Camelia realized it. And it made her uncomfortable.“Let’s go,” Calvin said softly.They walked in together.The VIP room was already filled with several important people. A long table with luxurious dishes was neatly arranged. The aroma of food mixed with expensive perfume in the air.As soon as Calvin entered—Several people immediately stood up.“Mr. Calvin!”“Glad to finally meet you in person.”Calvin gave a slight nod. His demeanor changed complete
Chapter 91The clock on the wall showed 09:30 when the door to Calvin’s office was knocked.“Come in.”Ronal appeared with a folder in his hand. His gaze briefly shifted to Camelia, who was sitting at the desk beside, then returned to Calvin.“Sir, at ten there is a meeting outside the office. A banquet with a client from overseas.”Calvin nodded briefly. “Prepare the car.”“It’s ready, Sir.” Ronal hesitated slightly, then continued, “The documents also need to be brought.”Calvin glanced toward Camelia. “She’ll prepare them.”Camelia immediately turned. “Me?”Calvin nodded casually. “That’s your job now.”Ronal gave a small nod. “Then I’ll excuse myself.” He left, closing the door slowly.The room fell silent again.For a few seconds, Camelia just stared at the desk in front of her. Then she stood up.“Which documents?” she asked shortly, her tone already back to professional.Calvin leaned back in his chair. “The ones in the blue folder. The cooperation contract.”Camelia walked to
Chapter 90Calvin’s car stopped right in front of a towering company building. Its glass walls gleamed under the reflection of the morning sun, looking grand and… unfamiliar to Camelia.For a few seconds, no one moved. Camelia was still staring out the window. Her hands clenched lightly on her lap.“Get out,” Calvin’s voice sounded casual.Camelia glanced at him briefly, then opened the door without saying anything. She got out first.Calvin followed behind her.Once they stood side by side in front of the building, Camelia finally spoke.“There’s one thing,” she said without turning.Calvin slipped his hands into his pockets. “What is it?”Camelia took a slow breath, then stared straight ahead. “At the office… our relationship must be kept secret.”Calvin turned to look at her. The corner of his lips lifted.“Relationship?” he repeated casually.Camelia shot him a sharp glance. “Don’t pretend you don’t understand.”Calvin stepped a little closer. “What kind of relationship do we have
Chapter 89Morning came too quickly for Camelia.She stood in front of the mirror, tidying her hair with slow movements. Her face looked paler than usual, as if last night hadn’t really given her time to rest.Inside her head… it was still noisy.About Calvin. About the past. About her own feelings that were becoming harder for her to understand.“Focus…” she murmured softly.Today she had to work. Or at least… try to get a job.From outside the room, Aurora’s voice was heard.“Ma! What are we having for breakfast?”Camelia took a deep breath, then stepped out of the room with a faint smile.“Whatever we have,” she answered lightly.A few hours later…A car stopped in front of a luxurious hotel in the city center.Camelia got out slowly. Her eyes looked up at the tall building. There was a nervousness she couldn’t hide.Revan stood beside her. “This is the pl
Calvin closed his eyes in his office chair. The lights in the office were still brightly lit, but his head felt heavy. Somehow, his thoughts had been drifting more and more often without permission. He took a deep breath, then slowly let it out.Yet the memory still came.That night, the rain was p
Morning had not fully arrived when Calvin stood on the second-floor balcony of his house. Cold air seeped through the thin shirt he was wearing, but he didn’t care. Both of his hands rested on the balcony railing, his eyes fixed on the sky that was still dark.The bedroom light
Ronal entered Calvin’s office again with a tense expression. His steps were slower than before, as if he had already anticipated his master’s reaction.“Young Master,” he called carefully.Calvin was still standing near the window. He didn’t turn around. “What is it now?”Ronal swallowed. “I apolog
Chapter 11The sharp smell of antiseptic stung Camelia’s nose as her consciousness slowly returned. Her eyelids felt heavy. She tried to open her eyes, then closed them again because the light was too bright.“You’re awake?”A man’s voice sounded near her. His tone was firm, but there was something
