๋ก๊ทธ์ธThe following day, dressed in her new clothes, Bianca headed to Green Mountain to check on the renovation progress. The builders were hard at work, laying bricks and cementing walls. She walked around the site, discussing the progress with the head contractor. When Sebastian entered from outside, his gaze lingered on her outfit. Nice clothes. A recent purchase, yep. A bright smile spread across her face as she thought about how Theo had bought them for her. Sebastian caught the happiness in her eyes, and for some reason, an unsettling discomfort settled in his chest. Before he could dwell on it, Bianca's phone rang. An unknown number flashed on the screen. She hesitated briefly before answering. Hello? A distressed voice came through the line. Is this Miss North? A woman named Wendy has passed out in her rental home. I tried calling the contacts on her phone, but no one was willing to come. Wendy... Aunt Wendy. He
They finally arrived at the small restaurant. As soon as they were seated, Rebecca took charge, ordering a couple of hotpots and a few drinks. Theo barely glanced at the menu. He didn't need to. He was more interested in watching her, and so he did the entire time. By the time she was nearly done eating, his chopsticks remained untouched. She blinked at him, confused. Why aren't you eating? Theo leaned back slightly, his gaze steady. Then, in a tone far too casual, he asked, why can't you feed me? Rebecca nearly choked on her drink. Back then, she hadn't asked, because she simply didn't care. But things were different now. She cleared her throat and muttered, I was afraid that if I got too close to you, I'd give in. Her voice was soft, almost innocent. Theo's lips curled in satisfaction. Pleased with her answer, he tugged her down to sit beside him. Cook for me later. Rebecca sighed helplessly but didn'
Daniel shot Theo a pointed look. Look, you're late today. Theo strolled toward his leather chair, utterly unbothered. Daniel was speechless. Was Theo really going to brush him off like that? Did he not catch the sarcasm in his tone? At the very least, could he show some respect in front of all these employees? But before Daniel could complain further, Theo's phone vibrated. He glanced down at the screen. A message from Bianca: Have you arrived? The corners of his lips curled upward slightly as he typed back, yep. A stunned silence filled the meeting room. Everyone had seen it. That smileโthe normally cold and indifferent Theo Williams had just grinned. The employees exchanged looks of disbelief. Who on earth had the power to make him smile like that? Daniel, in particular, was beyond intrigued, but instead of prying right away, he waved his hand dismissively. All right, that's it for today. Kee
Theo liked that she was clingy. A few seconds later, he tilted his head down and captured her lips in a slow, lingering kiss. Now that their feelings were out in the open, Bianca no longer felt the need to tread carefully around him. The walls between them had crumbled, and for the first time, she allowed herself to simply enjoy being close to him. Theo, still caught in the daze of their kiss, let out a quiet sigh. His voice was low, almost coaxing. Stay in bed with me a little longer. I'm tired. Okay. Bianca had already gotten enough sleep, but when she saw the exhaustion etched across his face, she nestled into his arms. Without hesitation, his warmth wrapped around her, steady and familiar. Within minutes, his breathing evened out. She carefully lifted her head, her gaze falling on the faint dark circles beneath his eyes. He looked completely worn out, and she knew this was because of her. A soft warmth spread through her chest. S
Bianca jolted upright, stretching as a small yawn escaped her lips. The tip of her delicate nose flushed pink, and unshed tears shimmered in her drowsy eyes, catching the morning light like dewdrops. Theo's gaze darkened. Where were you last night? Bianca blinked at him, still groggy, trying to process his presence by her bedside. You weren't supposed to be back until tomorrow. His voice dropped, steady but laced with something dangerous. I asked you a question, Bianca. One nightโI was gone for one night, and you spent it somewhere else. The storm in his eyes sent a shiver through her. Instinctively, she pulled the blankets a little closer. Are you assuming the worst again? Theo's jaw tightened, impatience flickering across his face. If this weren't just another misunderstanding, do you think you'd still be lying here comfortably? Bianca lowered her gaze, her fingers twisting into the sheets. I went out with Rebecca. We sho
I'll take you home, Sebastian said firmly. His voice left no room for argument. Don't even think about rejecting my offer. You're in no condition to drive. Bianca hesitated for a moment, then gave a small nod. On the drive back, silence hung between them. Sebastian kept glancing at her, his grip on the steering wheel tightening. Finally, he broke the quiet. About last night. Bianca didn't look at him. Instead, she stared out the window, her voice calm yet heavy. Noah is now Hudson's largest shareholder. Next month, he's expected to compete for the chairman's position, and he'll likely win. If that happens, Rebecca will have even more power in Hudson. She'll become untouchable. She laid it all out without hesitation. Sebastian stilled. The North family has ties to Hudson. His brows furrowed in disbelief. If this gets out, their reputation might sink even lower than the Clarks'. I don't know either. Bianca's fingers curled sl
Bianca knelt beside her grandmother, her hands gently clasping the older woman's frail fingers. The warmth of her grandmother's skin was a bittersweet comfort, and her heart ached as memories of their bond flooded back. Her grandmother had been the only bea
Helen winced like a guilty child caught red handed. I've stood in the rain for the past 30 minutes reflecting on my mistakes, she began pitifully. I even replayed the scene in my mind when my brother pointed out the man who was supposed to be Edward's cousin. There were two men walking side by sid
Dream on. Theo bristled immediately, his tone sharp and his voice rising like a tiger whose tail had been stepped on. In love with you? His condescending gaze bore into her, an expression that made Bianca's stomach churn with discomfort. And what's so wrong about t
Theo had never felt so humiliated in his life. His sharp glare locked onto Bianca, who sat calmly at the back of the bus, pointedly ignoring him.Bianca, come here and pay for me. He demanded, his tone low and threatening. Bianca turned her face toward the window, her expression cool and deta
