The next morning, Eloise quietly brought the blanket back to the master bedroom, then pretended to wake up on the sofa before going to wash her face and get dressed.
She casually joined Cosmo for breakfast. After eating, she planned to leave. She remembered what Cosmo said yesterday, so she informed him.
Cosmo didn’t say anything, so Eloise took out her phone. “Scan me, add me on WeChat. If I can’t make it back for dinner, I’ll send a message.”
Cosmo just looked at her, seemingly unwilling to add her. So, Eloise raised her phone and said, “Don’t worry, Cosmo. If it’s not important, I won’t bother you.”
Cosmo seemed forced to do it, so he scanned her and added her. Then he said, “I don’t really care a

Women are naturally sensitive, especially when it comes to the men around them, so they tend to notice even the smallest changes.Cosmo wasn't acting normal. Although he was still often grumpy with Eloise, she felt something had changed. He had kissed her and was treating her like his possession. Now, it seemed like he wanted to control her actions too?"I don't want what happened the last time Gabriel touched you to happen again," Cosmo said, calmly looking at her, although his tone clearly showed jealousy.Eloise smiled slightly. "It’s true that Gabriel interfered with me because of you, but he didn’t actually want to hurt me. He just wants to convince me to help him with his plans."Cosmo sighed. "Is that really how you see him?" His voice had a hint of fr
Gabriel saw Eloise and called her, but he couldn’t pretend he didn’t notice her and just walked away.So, he stood quietly, waited for her to approach, and smiled at her politely. "Perfect timing," he said.At home, Eloise had gotten used to calling Cosmo by his name, but when she saw Gabriel, she wasn’t sure how to address him.In Cosmo’s family, Gabriel was the second grandson of their generation. So, outside the family, he was often referred to as "Second Young Master."Gabriel smiled. "As far as I know, you’ve graduated. What brings you here to school? Are you planning to take a new course?""No, I’m just taking care of some things," Eloise replied.Gabriel nodded. "Can’t you tell me about it?""No," Eloise answered directly.Gabriel’s smile grew wider. "You really speak your mind, Eloise. It’s quite refreshing to hear."Eloise was smart and rarely showed her true feelings on her face. But when she was with Gabriel, she didn’t want to reveal what she was really thinking.She looke
Tania had heard that Eloise could cook, but it was different when Cosmo himself said it.Now, it was clear how much trust and appreciation Cosmo had for Eloise. He no longer treated her with avoidance or coldness like he did before.Tania’s smile softened as she looked at Eloise with admiration. "One day, I’d love to try your cooking, Eloise."Eloise responded softly, "When you visit Stillwater Bay, just call me in advance so I can prepare."Although she wasn’t a true member of the Lopez family, Eloise’s knowledge, manners, and beauty were undeniable. Since it was Tania who decided to have her marry Cosmo, she wanted to see their marriage thrive. They didn’t necessarily need to have deep love for each other, but respect was enough.After dinner, Tania stayed for almost another hour before leaving.Meanwhile, Eloise was preparing her things for the move. When she first arrived, she only brought a suitcase, and even though she had been living there for over a month, her belongings hadn’
Eloise warned Jiro not to tell Cosmo that she was interested in the house that they would eventually live in as a married couple. However, Jiro was Cosmo's employee, so he immediately told him what he had learned.Eloise couldn't understand what Cosmo meant with his question. She looked at the man in front of her, his face close to hers, showing a serious expression."The house I chose, which I carefully considered, even though I like it, I know I shouldn’t choose that one. There are so many other houses to choose from, so why did I have to choose that one?"As Cosmo spoke, Eloise felt the weight in the air grow heavier. She couldn't stop herself from getting irritated by how indifferent Cosmo seemed to be about everything. It felt like he didn't care what she thought, whether he looked at her or kissed her."You’re right. It’s a house for a married couple. And we are married," Cosmo replied firmly.It was true that the house was meant for newlyweds, but they weren’t a normal couple w
Cosmo owned a lot of properties in his name. Jiro had chosen a few villas in great locations, safe areas, and with good environments, perfect for newlyweds.As Cosmo’s assistant, Jiro was excellent at his job. He was careful in his preparations, quick to act, and maintained a professional distance from Eloise. He respected her, but was never overly friendly.When Eloise saw the third villa, she was immediately impressed by its layout, design, and the gardens in both the front and back. Furthermore, the security and green surroundings of the entire area were among the best she had seen.Without hesitation, she said, “This is it!”Jiro was surprised at how quickly she made up her mind and chose this villa. “Are you sure about this one?” he asked.Eloise answered confidently, “Yes, I like it!”For a moment, Jiro hesitated before speaking again. “I still have other villas prepared. Would you like to see them first before making your decision?”Eloise noticed his unusual reaction and immed
