When Dave woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky. Even though he had slept late the night before, his biological clock—honed over years of habit—still pulled him awake. The late night weighed on him, leaving a dull ache throbbing in his head. He lay in bed for five minutes until the pain eased a little, then got up and headed for the shower.

As he walked downstairs, faint sounds of movement from the kitchen caught his attention. He slowed his pace, licked his lips, and fastened the

    It was William Gu calling. Could this guy be calling me this early just to invite me for breakfast? Dave picked up the phone and asked flatly, "What do you want?"William’s voice sounded groggy and sleepy, as if he’d just woken up. "Dave, I called around earlier. The YeSe Club is open today. You have to come drink beer with me!"This guy thinks about nothing but drinking beer every single day! Whenever William came to Bay Toon, he’d definitely open a bottle of Dave’s premium beer. It was like if he didn’t drink for a day, he’d break out in hives!"Isn’t YeSe Club only open at night? William, you’re talking nonsense right after opening your eyes. Aren’t you afraid of dying young? I’ve got things to do today. Don’t bother me!" Dave snapped.Hearing this, William sounded displeased. "They open early on weekends! What business could a married man possibly have? You’re living like a single guy anyway! Oh wait—sorry, I forgot. You’re already a dad now! What? Planning to stay home and babys

    Reece’s round eyes flickered with guilt, and his rosy lips pressed tightly together. All of a sudden, he remembered what he’d done the night before—how he had crossed out the photo of Papa and Jenny with a pen and thrown it away. Thinking back on it now, Reece felt a twist of fear in his chest. Dad… he wouldn’t hit me just because of one photo… right? He looked up at Dave, worrying the thought over seriously. On impulse, he reached out with his chopsticks and placed a piece of omelet onto Dave’s plate, then asked softly, “Dad… was the breakfast okay?”Dave merely gave a curt “Mm-hmm” in reply. He glanced down at the omelet Reece had just served him and frowned. Dave suffered from severe mysophobia—an extreme fear of germs and contamination—and Reece had used his own chopsticks to move the food. Though his face remained impassive, the look in his eyes was unmistakable: pure disgust.Deep down, though, he couldn’t deny it—the food this little brat had cooked was actually quite delicious

    When Dave woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky. Even though he had slept late the night before, his biological clock—honed over years of habit—still pulled him awake. The late night weighed on him, leaving a dull ache throbbing in his head. He lay in bed for five minutes until the pain eased a little, then got up and headed for the shower.As he walked downstairs, faint sounds of movement from the kitchen caught his attention. He slowed his pace, licked his lips, and fastened the cuffs of his shirt. Is Elaine already awake? he wondered. Has she started making breakfast to thank me for helping her last night? Or does she plan to stay here in Bay Toon longer than I thought? The second possibility felt far more likely. After all, when he’d rescued her the night before, she had been calling his name nonstop.His expression hardened. Bay Toon was his private sanctuary. If Elaine was awake, he needed to get her and that brat out of his territory immediately—before they could r

    This woman stood with her legs straight; several buttons on her shirt were undone, lending the disheveled garment an oddly striking appearance that only accentuated her soft, curvy figure. Her beautiful black hair cascaded over her chest and face, partially concealing the gruesome wounds there while leaving only her small, cherry-red lips exposed—tinged with a flush that carried an alluring charm. It was a bold yet tasteful allure, made even more intoxicating by the faint scent of strong tobacco and the sense of mystery she evoked.Inside Dave, a smoldering fire began to burn, settling heavy in the pit of his stomach. He stood frozen, his gaze fixed firmly on Elaine’s form. For no apparent reason, his mind drifted back to the times he’d seen her in formal suits. She had been captivating then, but now, with her dress falling just to her knees, the effect was far more overwhelming. What made it even more striking was that Elaine was already a mother to a three-year-old child—she carrie

    Dave recalled the conversation he had with John in his office.“You cornered her, leaving her with no choice but to perform a caesarean section on herself inside a bathtub!”“You simply have no idea how terrifying and desperate it feels when someone is staring death in the face, especially when it involves the lives of two people! How deep-seated must your hatred be, that you could choose to turn a blind eye and treat her with such heartless cruelty?!”Dave stared blankly ahead, his thumb and index finger rubbing against each other nervously, his face etched with a mix of confusion and unease. Could what John said actually be true? Did Elaine really perform surgery on herself three years ago in the bathtub of my bedroom just to give birth to her child? And is this scar the proof of that incident?Just thinking about this possibility made Dave feel a sudden twinge of discomfort in his chest. Although he deeply resented Elaine for driving Jenny away, and despised her for getting pregnan

    The man’s hands hung empty at his sides as he loosened his tie and undid the top button of his shirt. Once these actions were done, Dave seemed to snap back to reality for a moment. He turned around and glared at Elaine lying on the bed. How unlucky! Has my brain stopped working? Otherwise, why would I bring Elaine into my own room?He undid the buttons of his cuffs as they felt too tight. I’ve been taking care of that child for her all day! And tonight I went all the way to the mountains just to save that woman. Yet, not a single word of gratitude has come out of her mouth. Even though I don't care about thanks, it doesn't make sense that I also have to give up my own bed for her!Feeling annoyed, he bent down, ready to carry Elaine out. Before he could even touch her, his eyes were drawn to the gray bed sheets. He recalled that Elaine had argued fiercely with the taxi driver on the mountain. During the commotion, the driver had grabbed and pulled her hair roughly, leaving her entire
