    Karimba Cellon remained motionless in the face of Brenda Mclean's unexpected embrace. His phobia of women was deeply rooted, so her intimate gesture had rattled him. It took him a while to regain his composure.Before Karimba Cellon could push Brenda Mclean away, Alley Houston approached them. With crossed arms, she observed their close interaction and remarked with a sarcastic tone, "How touching! Brenda Mclean traveled hundreds of miles just to see you, Karimba Cellon."Turning his gaze back, Karimba Cellon was met with the disappointment and anger in Alley Houston's eyes. He started to feel flustered, and his instincts urged him to distance himself from Brenda Mclean.

    For Karimba Cellon, these houseworks were certainly no walk in the park. However, ever since he had arrived, Alley Houston had been adamant about not going into the kitchen. She no longer prepared the dishes he enjoyed. Every time he struggled to swallow the self-cooked meals before him, Karimba Cellon felt a deep sense of regret. Back then, Alley Houston was the one who always catered to his culinary preferences, striving to cook delicious meals that would please him.

Previously, Alley Houston had been the one who indulged his appetite, but now, even the sight of her in the kitchen...Throughout the morning, Alley Houston sat outside on the porch, engrossed in a book.

    Alley Houston witnessed it with her own eyes, a face identical to hers, a voice identical to hers, and even a body identical to hers. Shattered, broken.Alley Houston broke into a cold sweat, her entire body stiff, and all she could do was scream in vain. Lily Houston still lay beneath the wheels, her face pallid, her eyes suddenly twitching. A smile formed on her lips."Ah!""Alley, Alley!"Alley Houston was jolted by a strong, reassuring arm. Beside her ear was the familiar voice of Karimba Cellon. She jerked, her eyes wide open, looking into the void before her. By her bedside was the man who had been by her side for the past few days."Why are you here?" Alley Houston asked irritably."Did you have a nightmare?"Karimba Cellon entered Alley Houston's room when he heard her screaming in her sleep. Seeing her thrashing about as if trying to escape, he was filled with fear and quickly turned on the bedside lamp before shaking her awake.Alley Houston stared at Karimba Cellon for a mo

    After a few more days passed, suddenly one day, Alley Houston developed a fever. It was unclear whether her wound had become infected, but Karimba Cellon was filled with anxiety and restlessness. He entered her room and softly made a request:"Let me clean the wound on your back."Alley Houston didn't respond but instead asked:"Isn't it you who's sick? Don't you find my body repulsive?"Karimba Cellon lowered his head in silence, gazing at the small, frail figure of Alley Houston lying on the bed. She coughed a few times while speaking, and it pained him to witness it. He sighed deeply and sat down beside her."I'm not afraid of anything, I'm only afraid of losing you."Alley Hou

    Among the Houston guards, a tall man stepped forward and addressed Karimba Cellon:"Mr. Karimba Cellon, if this is your territory, we naturally won't intrude. But Ms. Alley belongs to the Houston family, and she's currently unwell. The elders want to take her back to the Houston residence to take care of her. You see, it's a family matter for the Houstons...""Who said Alley Houston is part of the Houston family?" Karimba Cellon glared, gritting his teeth.Karimba Cellon suddenly shouted loudly, startling both the Houston guards and Alley Houston, who were hiding near the door.

She had no idea that before coming here, Karimba Cellon had arranged his security pers
