Her face flushed an unusual shade of red, the color blooming to the tips of her ears.

"Sigourney, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Theodore, naturally, had no idea what was truly troubling her. He assumed she might be sick, his tone tinged with vague concern as he towel-dried his hair and took a few steps closer to her.

But in her current state, his approach only served to heighten the tension in the air.

The sight of his toned muscles, those chiseled abs glistening slightly with the leftover droplets of water, nearly made her nose bleed.

"No, I'm fine," she stammered.

"I-I didn't realize you were in the shower just now. I came in without knocking. I'm sorry."

Worried that lingering any longer might lead to an even more mortifying situation, Sigourney began to backpedal, her words rushed and disjointed.

"I actually have something to do, so I'll be heading out now."

"There was something I wanted to talk to you about, but... it can wait."

She gave an awkward smile and waved her ha

  • Reborn for Revenge: My Husband Is Mine   Evening gown

    The following evening,As promised,Theodore took Sigourney to a renowned boutique that carried evening gowns from many prestigious designer brands, allowing her to choose and try on whichever she liked.To be honest, though Sigourney was no stranger to shopping at luxury brands, even she felt slightly overwhelmed by the extravagance of this place.There were far too many gowns from internationally acclaimed designers and all from their latest collections.It took her nearly half an hour before she finally settled on one that pleased her.An evening gown from a world-famous fashion house.It was a strapless white gown with a fishtail hem that beautifully revealed Sigourney's slender figure and long legs.Along the dress, shimmering crystals in bright tones were meticulously sewn in, catching the light and gleaming with every step she took.It came with a white fur shawl-extremely soft to the touch.Sigourney admired herself in the mirror with satisfaction.Her delicate figure was comp

  • Reborn for Revenge: My Husband Is Mine   Who even is this?

    She continued to spit out insults in all kinds of unpleasant language, leaving both Sigourney and Hilary stunned. The sales assistant's expression also became awkward and tense."I'm very sorry, miss, but that's our store policy.""This customer arrived first and had already indicated she wanted the bag. Perhaps... perhaps you could try discussing it with her?"The assistant, caught in the middle, offered the suggestion timidly.It was only then that the girl bothered to glance at Sigourney. One look and she immediately sneered with open contempt."Ugh. Who even is this? Some shabby little nobody trying to fight me for a bag?"She didn't hesitate to speak, even sizing up Sigourney's outfit with a mocking sneer."Wearing a dress from a luxury brand, huh? Think wearing expensive clothes will magically make you rich?""Who knows which billionaire's sugar baby you are? I bet you don't even have enough money to buy anything here."At that moment, staying silent would've made Sigourney seem

  • Reborn for Revenge: My Husband Is Mine   I might soon be holding my first grandchild

    When butler Park brought in a pot of chrysanthemum tea for Tom, he couldn't help but ask upon seeing the satisfied look on the man's face."Something good happened, Master? You seem awfully cheerful this early in the morning."Tom gave a mysterious glance toward the dining room, then gestured for Park to come closer. Once the butler leaned in, Tom spoke in a low voice, just enough for the two of them to hear."I have a feeling... quite unintentionally, I might soon be holding my first grandchild.""Probably within a year, I'd say. Haha."Tom laughed heartily, clearly pleased with himself, leaving Park somewhat confused.Still, having worked in the Wang estate for many years, Park knew better than to pry or make wild assumptions.He simply smiled and offered his congratulations, then carefully set the teapot down and poured a cup for Tom....Even when they left the Wang estate,Sigourney and Theodore remained wordlessly in sync-but in silence, not the warm harmony of the previous day.

  • Reborn for Revenge: My Husband Is Mine   Was she teasing him on purpose?

    By the time Theodore finished his shower,his condition hadn't improved one bit.His vision was slightly blurred, and an unbearable heat simmered beneath his skin, intensifying with each passing second.He kept swallowing-dry, tight gulps-and couldn't stop thinking about Sigourney.Her eyes. Her smile. That unwavering confidence.And above all, the soft tenderness in her gestures today, the warmth in her expressions.Of course, Theodore knew something was wrong.Very wrong.So he bit his lower lip, forcing himself to stay composed as he stepped out of the bathroom."Are you really okay, Theodore? Should I call your private doctor?"Sigourney looked up at him, clearly confused.From her point of view, something was definitely off.Theodore's face was flushed an alarming shade of red, his lips pressed together tightly, his entire posture stiff and tense.Without waiting for a response, Sigourney stepped closer and leaned in, pressing the back of her hand to his forehead.Warm-far too w
