Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable Chapter 803
Nina asked no further questions and left with a word of acknowledgment.Diana finished the documents in front of her, set down her pen, and leaned back in her chair.The past month had gone by faster than she had expected.That evening, for once, she returned to Seraph Villa early.Florence was sitting in the living room with a handwritten notebook in her hands. At the sound of Diana's arrival, she looked up. "You're back early today.""It's not too busy today."Diana changed into her house slippers, handed her coat and handbag to the housekeeper, and walked over to sit beside Florence.She glanced at the notebook in Florence's hands. Neat, elegant handwriting filled the pages with various proportions and notes. Several entries had been crossed out and rewritten more than once, a clear sign of how much thought Florence had put into them."What's this?"Florence lightly traced a finger beneath one of the lines. "Something I'm preparing for Vee. She's about to give birth, and Ju

Early the next morning, Tiffany groggily switched off her alarm just as another message came in. She grabbed her phone and squinted at the screen.It was from Raymond, just two words.Raymond: [You awake?]She flipped the phone facedown on the pillow and closed her eyes again, but her drowsiness had already faded, and her hazy thoughts gradually cleared.After she got home the night before, she had stood in front of the bathroom mirror for a long time, staring at her reddened lips as she thought about that kiss in the garage.Every word Raymond had said had struck at the things she cared about most. She did not even want to admit that, in that moment, her defenses had nearly crumbled.Part of her wanted to throw caution to the wind and simply live in the moment, consequences be damned.Tiffany rolled over and picked up her phone again to check the time. Seven thirty-three.She typed two words, then deleted them. She did this twice before finally sending a single word.Tiffany:

The garage was silent except for the too-fast, mismatched rhythm of two heartbeats.There was an almost forceful stubbornness to the kiss.Raymond held her chin, not hard, but firmly enough that she could not turn her head away. By the time he finally pulled back, Tiffany's lips felt faintly hot, almost scorched.She raised a hand and wiped the back of it across the corner of her mouth before she glared at him. Her voice trembled slightly. "Are you out of your mind?""I'm not." Raymond's breath still carried the scent of alcohol, but his tone was earnest. "I told you, I've had too much to drink, but I'm still sober enough to know what I'm doing."Tiffany wanted to curse at him. She wanted to turn around and walk away as cleanly as she always had before. But her feet seemed nailed to the ground, and she could not take a single step."Raymond…" She uttered his name in a low voice, as if she were struggling to keep something under control. "Do you even know what you're doing?""Of

The question came almost too suddenly, yet somehow, it also felt expected.Tiffany's fingers curled slightly. She lowered her lashes and stood beside the car door, quietly looking at the man inside.For a moment, memories of their romance and their breakup surfaced together.There had been almost no transition between the two.At the height of their relationship, every corner of Raymond's apartment near Jouleston University had carried traces of their love.Tiffany had been insecure and sensitive, while Raymond had been open and ardent. Faced with someone like him, she could only fall deeper and deeper.Then, just when she had fallen the hardest, the check from the Hutton family had drawn a clear and unmistakable line between their worlds.She understood all too well that even if she gave everything she had, she could never run far enough to reach Raymond's starting line. Worse, she had a brother who was like a ticking time bomb.So back then, deciding to break up with him had

Upstairs, after washing up, Julian pulled Sydney down beside him, though she still showed no sign of sleepiness."Not sleepy yet?""Mm-hm." Sydney lay on her side and looked at him, her eyes still misty from the steam in the bathroom. "I'm happy, and I feel settled. I feel so, so happy."She was so happy that she almost didn't want to fall asleep. She used to feel as though she had nothing at all, but tonight, for the first time, she could see with absolute clarity everything she now had.Julian ruffled her hair, his eyes brimming with tenderness. "I'm happy too."As long as she was by his side, he was happy. Nothing and no one else could ever replace that particular kind of happiness.Sydney suddenly moved closer and burrowed into his arms. "Do you remember what gift I gave you on the first birthday I ever spent with you?"Julian raised an eyebrow slightly.Of course he remembered. By then, she had already come to live with him, but Eloise had taken advantage of his trip abroa

At Delta Mansion…Agatha was getting on in years, and she no longer had the energy of the younger generation. After seeing off the guests, she gave Sydney a few final instructions before retiring to her room to rest.Julian had an arm around Sydney's waist as they walked back inside. He noticed Raymond leaning against the screen, silently watching Tiffany, who sat on the sofa and scrolled through her phone. There was no telling what was on his mind.Sydney was not sure what to make of the situation, so she turned to Tiffany first. "Tiff, why don't you stay in the guest room tonight?"Tiffany looked up at the sound of her voice, picked up her bag, and rose from the sofa. "No need."She walked over to Sydney's side. "I already booked a car. I just wanted to wait until you finished seeing off the guests so I could say goodbye before I left.""All right." Sydney knew there was no point trying to persuade her. "Then be careful. Text me when you get home."Tiffany agreed, gave Julian
