  Sean listened quietly. As an outsider, he felt sorry for Patrick.

  Patrick said he knew he was wrong, which meant that he was on the verge of desperation.

  "If so, we would have kids by now, and they would be at the age of attending school." Patrick looked into the distance.

  Sean felt as if Patrick's words were boiling oil that was poured onto his heart, upsetting him inexplicably.

  "Let's have a drink."

  "No. She will get hungry when she wakes up." After saying that, Patrick stood up and took out some vegetables from the fridge. "I'll make some soup. She has a delicate stomach."

  Just as he placed the vegetables on the counter, he suddenly paused, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the stuffed trash can.

  After looking at it for a while, Patrick squatted down and took things out of the trash can one by one.

  Sean looked at Patrick, who was quietly washing the couple's mugs behind the sink, and sighed silently that fate always

      The sound of keys turning came from outside the door. Gloria quickly packed everything up, wiped his tears, and turned to walk out of the bedroom.  Patrick walked to the bar counter with a shopping bag in his hands. "The beef is so good today. I picked some and brought you breakfast. Gloria, go wash up and sit down to eat."  As he spoke, he placed the bag next to the sink, which was filled with many kinds of food. Patrick rolled up his sleeves in front of the sink and started to wash the vegetables.  Gloria's hands were hanging by her side, behind her back. She clenched her fists so hard that the nails sank deep into her tender palms.  She raised her head only to see that outside the balcony, the windows had already been equipped with bars, enveloping the large room.  There was wind blowing, but she felt suffocating.  Gloria did as she was told silently. He asked her to go wash up and then have breakfast.  She went to wash up and then sat

      Patrick paused. The next second, he reached out to cover her eyes and then kissed the back of his hand over them. "You mean a lot to me," he said silently.  "Gloria, don't think about running away again. For the rest of your life, you're bound to be with me. You can't get away without my permission."  He had already lost his mind.  He felt bad for her, yet such a feeling was surpassed by his longing to keep her with him.  After everything was over, she said, "I hate you."  He closed his eyes. When he opened them, he suppressed the pain in them and said, pretending that he didn't care, "Whatever."  He thought, 'You can hate me. Even though you want to hate me, I'm the only one you are going to hate.  I don't care about anything else, as long as I'm the only one in your world. You may choose to love me or hate me as you want.'  It was just that the moment she said she hated him, he felt his heartache killing him.  The day of Harr

      In the ward, Patrick took a chair and sat down. Opposite him was Harry.  "She lied to me and came to donate her bone marrow to you."  Patrick said, breaking the silence.  Harry turned pale and gradually despaired. He said, "I'll go find her! I won't force her to donate her bone marrow!" He stood up and was about to leave.  "Gloria was injecting G-CSF. I took her home."  Harry calmed down after hearing that.  "The donor?" Harry was puzzled.  "Your brother."  Harry did not know what to say for a moment.  "Your brother's match result was a fake. I've known this for a long time. But Gloria doesn't care about it, so I do nothing."  Harry wanted to say something. He found that Patrick was so indifferent. Patrick knew the truth, yet he chose to stand aside and watch the farce.  "You know Gloria went to the bone marrow bank. Ever since she found out about your condition, she's been asking around to find a suitable donor. I

      Smoke came out from the gap in the door.  Instantly, Hank's expression changed. He shook off Mandy, who was pulling him, took out his key, and opened the door. "Luna Gloria! What is going on?"  Before he finished speaking, he choked on the thick smoke and coughed violently.  Mandy rushed in. "Gloria, don't scare me! Don't tell me that you want to kill yourself!"  Unfortunately, the smoke was too thick, and the flames were everywhere.  Hank immediately called the police and tried to rush in.  A figure passed him quickly and rushed in.  In the blink of an eye, the figure had already rushed into the thick smoke.  "Alpha Patrick! You can't go inside!  "It's too dangerous!"  Hank shouted, but Patrick turned a deaf ear. He looked around the room through the smoke, but Gloria was nowhere to be seen.  He immediately rushed to the bedroom door, but the door could not be opened.  "Gloria! Open the door! Gloria! Open the

      Half a month had passed. Patrick didn't appear in front of her again. Occasionally, Hank would come back to take a change of clothes and then leave in a hurry.  Apart from being confused, the guards in the pack became increasingly serious.  Gloria didn't know what had happened.  One day, the dark iron gate of Alpha's villa opened again. She saw the familiar Bentley driving in from the second floor from a distance.  She looked at the car and fell into a daze.  Finally, he came back.  She retracted her gaze and did not know how to face him.  Just as she was lost in thought, Kevin went to her door and invited her to meet Alpha respectfully.  She wanted to ask if she could refuse.  However, Kevin turned around and left directly.  It was no use delaying. She still went downstairs.  Gloria gave a self-mockery chuckle. However, her smile faded quickly. As she got thinner, her face seemed to be sunken.  She noticed a

      "Don't move. I just want to look at you," Patrick whispered. Gloria only felt that it was strange. When did he learn to be gentle?  When she raised her eyes to look at him, she was seized by his eyes. His eyes were like black holes as if swallowing her up. Intense affection seemed to be about to burst out of his eyes in a second.  She had never experienced this before.  She had never seen Patrick like this before.  Before she ran out of patience, he released her.  He took a step back, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to her. "Don't you want to leave? I'll let you go."  She took the paper and found it was a divorce agreement.  As her gaze slid down, Patrick had already signed his name.  For a moment, she became even more confused.  He had done everything he could to force her to be with him, but now he had taken out the divorce agreement.  She didn't understand.  Gloria looked at Patrick, her

      Outside a VIP ward in the hospital, an unexpected figure appeared.  "Let him in." In the ward, Patrick nodded.  The door opened, and Ellison walked in.  "You're really well-informed," Patrick said coldly, his lips pale.  "I have my sources. No matter how well you hide it, you can't guarantee that your subordinates won't give themselves away," Ellison said calmly.  Patrick smiled, "You don't have to be in such a hurry even though you covet the Hammond Group. After I die, it will be all yours."  "Come on." Ellison sat down on a chair. "If you die, all your assets will be given to her."  Although he didn't say who she was, Patrick, who was lying on the bed, had a glint in his eyes. "You know me well."  "No." Ellison waved his index finger. "It just so happened that I saw a lawyer walk out of the hospital. That lawyer was hired by you personally to serve you and the Hammond Group."  "Did you find me just like that?" Patrick asked.

      "Look, you're hesitating." Christine was like an invader. She pursued further and didn't let Gloria go. "I just asked you if you still loved him, but you hesitated. Do you really know yourself?  "Gloria, in my opinion, you are running away from him. Three years ago, you tried everything you could to escape. Now, you have made no progress at all. You are still escaping. Will you really be at peace at Waikiki Beach? I will be blunt. If you can only remain calm on Waikiki Beach, it means that you have never been calm."  Gloria trembled, and her face paled. "Stop it! Enough!"  Christine's words echoed in her mind. She wanted to press the pause button but there was simply none.  "Gloria, Waikiki Beach is not a pure land. The peace you think is just your escape," Christine said seriously.  Christine should not have said this, but she saw some things that the people in the police station did not see.  She saw Gloria's hesitation.  During the thre

    Clarissa watched Luana's fingers tighten around the phone until her knuckles whitened. "When I first saw those messages flooding in, I tried luring him out myself—posed as you, planned to bring the cops. But instead of catching a creep, I got..."She trailed off, the memory of the man in the café still prickling her nerves.A man as cold and heartless as Cline—why would he cling to memories of Luana like this?"Anyway," she shrugged, "he never showed. Guess some ghosts stay buried."Luana's voice was a whisper. "These things... they should've been my fight. Not yours."Clarissa cut her off, "If it were me in this mess, you'd do the same. So quit with the thanks already."Luana nodded meekly, her lashes drooping as she glanced back at the phone screen.The mystery gnawed at her—Mr. Night's messages reeked of obsession, yet he hid in plain sight.

    "I had no choice but to pull a dumb move—I seduced Gehrmann and took Naomi's spot as his bedwarmer," Clarissa said flatly, her voice echoing off the brick walls."I thought I could use him to get back at Cline. Turns out I was dumber than a bag of hammers—Gehrmann wouldn't lift a finger against Cline for any woman." She kicked at a pebble, watching it skitter into the shadows. "By the time I figured that out, he wouldn't let me walk away."Clarissa shifted her weight, catching Luana's profile in the dim light."But don't you worry, Luana. I ain't falling for Gehrmann's charm. This world's got exactly one good man left—Albion. And he's six feet under."So, I won't be that girl anymore—the one who pours her heart out for every little kindness, even when it's not worth it."Mentioning Albion again made Luana's eyes dim as if the light behind them had been switched off.She lowered her lashes, hiding the sorrow pooling th

    Third Person's POVLuana tightly embraced Clarissa, hoping to alleviate her pain.Clarissa, however, patted her back with a smile and said, "It's alright. After finding out the truth, I was devastated for a while, but then I pulled myself together. I installed surveillance cameras and recorded every moment of their infidelity, which I sent to my lawyer."I won the lawsuit, but I couldn't get the house back. I could only recover the mortgage payments, the money I spent on him, and compensation for emotional distress..."However, what I didn't expect was that someone would expose Albert's bigamy online, ruining his reputation. His company fired him, and no other major firms would hire him. As far as I know, his current salary isn't even enough to cover the mortgage. Plus, his mother has cancer, which is why he keeps begging at my door."Clarissa's voice turned cold as she continued, "He thinks I'm still the naive woman I once was, that if he kneels a

    Clarissa took a deep breath, opened the bedside table, and took out a marriage certificate, handing it to Luana."You two weren't entirely meant to miss each other. At least he kept his promise from when you were young and married you."Seeing the marriage certificate, Luana's eyes welled up.She reached out and slowly unfolded it...Name: LuanaName: AlbionBeside them was a composite photo of the two, dressed in white shirts, with a red background, their faces beaming with happiness.When Luana was eighteen, she had asked Albion, "When are you going to marry me?"Albion, engrossed in a book at the time, looked up and playfully tapped her nose with his pen, saying, "When I'm capable of giving you happiness."Luana pouted, dissatisfied, "But when will that be?"Albion held up his book and replied, "After I've mastered all this knowledge and become someone worthy, then I'll marry you."Luana rested her chin

    Last time, it was her negligence that failed to keep Albion by her side. This time, she was determined to do everything in her power to protect Luana.Clarissa raised her hand and gently patted Luana's shoulder, hoping to offer some warmth.Time ticked by, and they remained in the same position until a man in a gray suit approached.Clarissa looked up at him, noticing his gaze fixed on Luana, and her tension grew.Before she could inquire about his identity, the man stepped forward and gently pushed Luana's head with his slender fingers."It's ten o'clock. It's time to go home..."Luana, recognizing Dorian's voice, didn't lift her head, her lifeless eyes fixed on the floor.Dorian frowned at her silence, then bent down slightly and spoke patiently, "Dorothy, come home with me."Luana raised her weary head and said, "I don't want to go home today..."She wanted to stay and support Clarissa, to quietly live for herself for

    She couldn't believe it. Even with the news reports and Clarissa's own words, she still refused to accept it.Albion, the gentle and considerate young man who had cherished her, how could he have taken his own life in such a tragic way? It was impossible.Luana shook her head in disbelief. "No, he wouldn't do this..."Clarissa stepped forward and embraced Luana. She felt Luana's body growing cold, and her heart ached."Luana, I don't want to believe it either, but..."Clarissa's words trailed off, tears streaming down her face.Three years ago, fearing Albion might do something rash, she had followed him to the cemetery.There, she found no sign of Albion, only bloodstains on the tombstone.Her unease grew as she searched for him, but he was nowhere to be found.The next day, the news reported that Coburn Group's CEO, Calvert, had committed suicide at the cemetery.Only then did she realize Albion had truly done s

    "Clarissa..." Albert wept and pleaded, "My mom has cancer, I got fired from my job, and the baby still needs milk. For the sake of our years together, treat me like a beggar and spare me a little help.""If you were truly a beggar, I'd give you some money to send you on your way, but you're not..."A clear voice cut through the air, tinged with exhaustion, coldness, and a hint of ruthlessness. "You're nothing but scum!""Clarissa!""Gag him and get him out of my sight!"At the command, the bodyguards immediately seized Albert and shoved him into the elevator."Humph, this despicable man!"Luana followed the voice and spotted a familiar figure leaning against the bar.The woman had a slender figure, waist-length curly hair, and fair, slender fingers holding a slender cigarette, while her other hand toyed with a wine glass.She tilted her head, staring into the red wine in her glass, as if observing another world from afar

    Upon learning of this possibility, Cline simply said, "Thank you," and hung up the phone.He gazed once more in the direction the black luxury car had vanished, now more certain than ever that Dorian had taken his Luana.However, he refused to believe they were husband and wife.Russell arrived with the bodyguards in a hurry, seeing Cline standing in front of the smashed Bugatti.Thinking Cline's car had been in an accident, he quickly approached."Mr. Moriarty, are you alright? Did you take too much sleeping pill and start hallucinating again?"For the past three years, Cline had been plagued by insomnia, clutching two mementos of Luana and struggling to sleep through the night.Russell, worried about his health, had obtained some sleeping pills from Eva.Little did he know, Cline had become addicted to them. Later, Russell found out that the medication could induce hallucinations when taken in excess.It was these hall

    Cline's brow twitched, his eyes filled with disdain as he regarded Dorian.He strode quickly to Luana, extending his hand with an unyielding tone, "Come with me."Before Luana could refuse, Dorian swiftly acted, his long arm encircling her shoulder and pulling her tightly into his embrace. A provocative smile played on his lips as he challenged, "On what grounds?"Cline's vision sharpened with pain, witnessing Luana clinging to Dorian, their bodies pressed close. A surge of rage erupted within him."Because I love her!"Cline's voice trembled yet rang out loud and clear, eight years of pent-up emotions bursting forth like a flood breaking its dam.Dorian, noticing the bloodshot eyes and the fervor in Cline's gaze, felt a flicker of realization. He glanced down at Luana in his arms.Her expression was calm, a faint smile curling her lips as if she had just heard an absurd joke, detached and indifferent.Not only did Dorian not l
