Edward’s expression hardens as he gives her an ultimatum."Choose."Ella freezes, caught completely off guard."Choose between me and your career."She looks at him for a long, agonizing moment before lowering her eyes to the floor."Edward, please don’t do this to me.""It’s time for you to decide. Us or your career.""I’m sorry, Edward."His expression falls, the last bit of hope draining from his face.Ella takes a small, hesitant step toward him."I truly love you. But I c

    She helps him settle comfortably back against the plush pillows.Edward sighs in defeat."All right, you win."Sofia releases a small breath of relief."You are staying home to rest today, understood?"Edward looks at her quietly."Fine."Sofia smiles softly."Good."Edward glances toward the clock on the wall."There is an important business event coming up next weekend."Sofia looks at him with mild curiosity."What kind of event is it?""It’s a major corporate award ceremony.""Several prominent business leaders will be there. I’m expected to attend personally."Sofia nods slowly."And naturally, you’re coming with me."Sofia blinks in surprise, pointing to herself."Me?""Yes."Edward says it as though the decision is already settled."The event is important for the company’s public image.

    "You’re definitely not fine."Sofia immediately leaves the room with a sense of urgency.She returns a moment later with fever medicine, a glass of water, and a cool, damp towel.Edward watches her quietly as she places everything neatly on the bedside table."You really don’t have to do all this.""No. Let me take care of you for once."She gently places the cool towel across his forehead."It’s my turn to look after you."Edward closes his eyes again, too weak to argue further.Sofia leaves briefly to heat up a bowl of comforting soup for him.When she returns, she places the warm bowl on the table beside him."Here. Eat this first."Edward looks down at the bowl unenthusiastically."I’m not hungry.""You need to eat something substantial before you take any more medicine."Sofia picks up the spoon, dips it into the soup, and holds it out toward him patiently."Ahhh.""You still need something in your stomach, Edward."Edward looks at her with a faint trace of amusement."You’re bei

    Sofia shakes her head defensively."I was just watching the movie."Clara looks over at the television screen."The movie ended five minutes ago."Sofia’s eyes widen as she realizes the movie has already ended."Oh."Lily bursts out laughing at how obvious Sofia’s excuse is.Sofia quickly covers her face with both hands, groaning softly.Clara grins mischievously."Admit it. You’re thinking about a certain someone. Let me guess. Edward?""I wasn’t.""Then why are you red from ear to ear?"Sofia immediately touches her warm cheeks."I’m not.""You definitely are," Lily insists.Clara leans closer, narrowing her eyes playfully."Actually, now that we’re talking about Edward…"Sofia becomes instantly cautious, shifting slightly."What about him?"Clara glances meaningfully toward Lily.Lily understands the silent cue immediately.Clara looks back at Sofia with a grin."Have you two kissed yet?""What?"Lily starts laughing at her stunned reaction.Clara repeats the question clearly."Hav
