After Scott finished speaking, Julissa instantly perked up. “What reward?”

“I’ve already said it will be tonight. Now, I need to handle some work. When lunch arrives later, you can eat with me, and then I’ll have someone take you back,” Scott replied, standing up. As he got up, he casually pinched her bottom.

Julissa’s face flushed red, and she glared at him. “Mr. Nichols, are you being a hooligan?”

Scott raised an eyebrow. “What, Miss Hickman, are you going to retaliate?”

Julissa wasn’t shy at all. She grabbed his tie, yanked him closer, and playfully left a hickey on his neck.

Scott chuckled lightly, leaning close to her ear and speaking in a deep, dangerous tone. “I’ll deal with you properly tonight.”

At lunch that day, they ate together in the company’s dining room. Julissa was in a particularly good mood because the two of them had cleared the air. Finally, she didn’t have to guess what was on his mind, and everything felt much lighter.

After lunch, Scott returned to work, while

    Julissa said, “Liam wasn’t home at the time, and I only took off half my clothes, I wasn’t fully naked. But then he came back, and Auntie helped cover me up. He saw me lying face-down on the couch and even helped his mom apply the compress.”She chuckled sentimentally, “He saw me like a little sister back then, probably didn’t think much of it. But I already liked him, and I was shy too—I ran home blushing. That was my first time running away from home, and it ended in total failure.”Scott glanced sideways at her.In the past, Julissa rarely brought up Liam in front of him.But today, she was being completely open, like she didn’t care about his feelings at all—as if she wasn’t worried about making him jealous.Scott humored her, replying lightly, “Is that so? You liked him that early on?”“Yeah.”Julissa sighed, her expression a mix of happiness and melancholy, completely unaware that he was now visibly upset.She continued talking:“When I was in middle school, guys gave me love le

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1179 She Doesn’t Want to Be with Him Anymore

    After getting ready, the two of them headed to the supermarket.Julissa had an injury on her foot, and technically, she shouldn’t be walking around too much.But Scott wanted more ordinary, everyday moments with her—shopping together, cooking together, just being around each other. Maybe then, she’d open her heart to him a little sooner.At the supermarket, Scott kept a close eye on Julissa’s mood. Aside from looking a little tired, she seemed the same as usual.The fatigue, he figured, was probably from what had happened between them before they left the house. He had been too rough with her in a moment of emotional outburst…Now that he had calmed down, Scott couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. He cleared his throat and asked, “Your foot… is it okay?”Julissa shook her head and smiled. “It’s almost healed, I barely feel anything.”“That’s good. Let me know if you get tired.”“I’m fine, really.”She gave him a smile and turned her attention to the shelves.To be honest, Scott was

    The phone rang for a long time, but there was no answer. It only hung up automatically when it timed out.Scott’s anger surged.Was Julissa deliberately avoiding his call, or had she just not been able to answer?And what exactly was she and Lucas up to?The thought of his woman possibly being swayed by another man made Scott lose all focus on work.He grabbed his car keys and headed straight for the elevator.On the way to the parking lot, he shared his location with Adam.He was going to find out how Julissa would explain this to him when she saw him.Following the location sent by Adam, Scott saw that Julissa and Lucas had arrived at a café.Looking at the location, he sneered. A café in the morning? Mr. Anderson really had too much free time.After that, Scott drove at full speed, reaching the café in half an hour.It was a library-style café, a quiet spot often frequented by literary types, perfect for a calm date.Scott entered with a cold expression, an aura of chill surroundin

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1177 Who Disturbed Her Heart?

    "Scott..." Julissa started to speak but then stopped, laughing. "I’ll just call you Mr. Nichols, it feels so awkward otherwise."Awkward?Scott held her chin, making her look him in the eyes. "You've even called me 'husband,' and now calling me by my name feels awkward?"He really wanted to understand what was going on with Julissa today.She seemed to feel embarrassed, her voice trembling as she said, "Mr. Nichols, let me go wash up first."Her small face, pinched by his hand, made her words unclear, and her eyes even looked a little pitiful.Scott stared at her for a while, then finally released her.Julissa flipped over and got out of bed, removing the ring from her finger.Scott’s face darkened.She hurriedly explained, "I don't want it to get wet, and it's too big, it's inconvenient to wear."Scott didn't force her but soon got out of bed himself and went to another bathroom.Standing under the shower, Scott’s mood grew more restless.Although he had asked Julissa before if she w

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1176 "Mr. Nichols, I Toast to You."

    Scott remembered that Julissa had mentioned wanting roast duck a couple of days ago, so he ordered some takeout. After placing the order, he looked down at the person lying on his lap.Julissa seemed utterly exhausted. She was lying on his lap with her eyes closed, breathing evenly, and appeared to have fallen asleep.He gently stroked her smooth long hair, but his mood gradually turned heavy. Everything had seemed fine at noon, but now, in the evening, she had suddenly become sentimental.After thinking for a moment, he decided to send a message to Adam to ask about Julissa's afternoon.Since Julissa had been kidnapped by Heather, Scott had assigned people to watch over her apartment, with shifts covering 24 hours. No matter where Julissa went, there would always be bodyguards protecting her in the shadows.Adam told him that after returning from the office, Julissa had been at home the entire time, and there were no signs of any unusual events.Scott glanced at the phone resting on

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1175 Will She Like It?

    The diamond ring could have been given to her earlier, but it just didn’t feel romantic enough to give it in the office.Scott knew very well that he wasn’t exactly romantic. He was blunt with his words, rarely did romantic gestures, and wasn’t particularly good at making girls happy.This had been pointed out many times by Kendrick and Seamus.Seamus was sweet-talking by nature. He not only knew how to charm with honeyed words but also spoke with genuine sincerity. If he wanted to pursue a girl, all he needed was his smooth talk to win her over.Kendrick wasn’t any less impressive either. He had a high emotional intelligence and had used all his cleverness to win over his artistic and delicate little wife. Later, he treated Annabelle with extreme gentleness, and with his carefree personality, he could always create surprise trips, whisking her off on spontaneous adventures.In comparison, Scott sighed, pressing his temples. He didn’t make many romantic gestures, but his girlfriend ce

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1173 Not Worth It

    Scott's mom replied, “You need to persuade Scott to stop taking revenge on Samuel. It’s time for him to let it go.”Julissa had already guessed that Scott wouldn’t easily let Samuel and Heather off the hook—he would definitely seek revenge for her.During this time, she had also been feeling uneasy. Now, with her future mother-in-law showing up at her door and asking her so anxiously to persuade Scott to stop, her anxiety only grew.So, Julissa continued, “What exactly has he done?”Scott's mom fell silent for a couple of seconds before responding with a pained expression, “To avenge you, he’s willing to stake everything on the the Nichols Group and fight Samuel. He plans to suppress Samuel’s company until the Keller family goes bankrupt, and then completely expel them from Elfhedge.”Had Scott's mom not said the first part, Julissa would have thought Scott was incredibly handsome and satisfying her revenge. After all, Samuel had done countless evil deeds, and Scott’s actions could be

    Afterward, Scott forced himself to keep driving.Finally, after more than twenty minutes, the car safely and smoothly stopped in front of the hospital's emergency entrance.The moment he saw the doctor and his assistant, Jerry, Scott felt the tension in his body ease, and he finally lost consciousness.More than an hour later, Scott woke up.By then, his wounds had been bandaged, and he was lying in a hospital bed receiving an IV drip.On the bed next to his, Julissa was also receiving an IV drip, quietly sleeping.Assistant Jerry was in the room and, upon seeing that Scott had woken up, began to update him on Julissa's condition.Julissa's injuries weren't very serious, but the fall from a height had caused some minor bone fractures, and she would need to rest for about a month. She was still unconscious because the drugs that had knocked her out hadn't been fully metabolized.Jerry also briefed him on the aftermath of the situation.Aside from the man Scott had thrown off the roofto
