Talia rolled over and instinctively reached to decline the call, but in her grogginess, she accidentally hit the answer button instead.

Christian's voice came through the line. "Talia, it's me."

She opened her eyes and stared at the pale dawn light outside her window. Her voice was hoarse. "It's late. What do you want?"

"I'm sorry."She looked utterly disheveled in her hasty escape, pitiful and helpless.Meanwhile, Christian stood in place outside the restroom, unmoving, but his lips parted slightly. He murmured softly to himself, "Is this really what you want?"After Talia returned to her seat in disarray, her heart was still racing. Every step she'd taken was driven by those terrible memories from the past. She didn't want to spend a single moment longer near Christian.The moment Talia sat down, she felt someone's eyes on her. She turned and met Nancy's questioning gaze. Nancy seemed like she wanted to ask something, but Talia only looked at her for a moment before quickly looking away.Shortly after, Christian returned as well.Nancy immediately looked at Christian and asked, confused, "Chris, where did you go?"Christian explained casually,

    Talia caught the meaning in Christian's words. He was talking about Quentin.She yanked her hand back forcefully and shouted at Christian, "What business is it of yours?"Christian gripped her arm tightly. He pulled her toward him, then continued interrogating her in a low voice, "He whispers a few sweet nothings, and you actually believe him?"Talia glared at him viciously. "Christian, shut up."Christian stepped closer, backing Talia against the wall. Then he braced his hand against the wall.Talia was trapped between the wall and him. He leaned down, his dark eyes fixed on Talia's pale face.He stared at her for a long time without speaking. Under his gaze, Talia felt uneasy. She turned her face away.At that moment, Christian hooked his leg around the restroom door and closed it.Seeing this, Talia's heart jolted. She demanded anxiously, "Christian, what are you doing?"Christian pressed her hard against the wall. Through gritted teeth, he warned her, "Talia, don't forget

    There were singing, dancing, magic tricks, and comedy routines being performed. The banquet hall quickly grew lively, with applause rising and falling in waves.Talia wasn't part of this world. Watching these performances, she felt as though she were at a large music festival. It was energetic and loud.One popular song after another took the stage, and people in the audience couldn't help humming along.Talia hummed along with the crowd. But when her gaze drifted to the right, she unexpectedly spotted Christian. He was sitting not far from her, only two or three people between them.When she looked over, Christian looked back. Their eyes met across the distance, but it wasn't like before. Talia no longer felt that fluttering in her chest.Seeing him now, she only felt calm.When she looked away, the music on stage stopped. The host came back on to present awards to outstanding video bloggers. Willow was among those nominated.After her name was called, Willow lifted the hem of

    When Christian led Nancy into the crowd, people immediately swarmed around them."Mr. Lane, Ms. York, care for a drink?""Mr. Lane, your date is gorgeous. She looks like an angel.""Ms. York, I heard you're an excellent pianist.""Ms. York, would you like a drink?""Mr. Lane, you don't mind if your girlfriend has a drink with us, do you?"People gathered around them, and various voices rose from all sides.Christian held Nancy's hand without the slightest intention of letting go. He glanced around before laughing. "Everyone, I'm terribly sorry, but my girlfriend isn't feeling well today. She can't drink."He claimed Nancy as his without hesitation, his eyes full of open affection. Seeing how well Christian treated Nancy, the people around them couldn't help but express their envy."Mr. Lane, you treat your lady so well.""Mr. Lane, you really know how to take care of your girlfriend.""Ms. York, you're so lucky to have found such a wonderful man.""If only I could be as hap

    Over the phone, Talia accepted Willow's invitation. "Okay, sounds good."Willow asked, "Want me to send a makeup artist over?"Talia declined. "Paige's here. I'll have her help me."Hearing this, Willow laughed. "Then give her my thanks."Talia agreed. "Will do."After hanging up, Talia called Paige. She was downstairs. When she heard Talia was attending a dinner party, she came up to help her get ready.She pulled out over a dozen dresses and had Talia try them on one by one. Finally, Paige settled on a light crimson bodycon dress for Talia.Looking at the dress, Talia hesitantly said, "Paige, I still can't wear heels. Will this dress be a little..."She trailed off, but Paige understood what she meant. "Oh, who cares? As long as you look good.

    Lying in bed, Talia tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She forced herself not to overthink, but within seconds, her thoughts drifted back to Quentin.This cycle repeated many times before Talia finally fell asleep. She had barely drifted off when her phone suddenly rang in the darkness. She opened her eyes, disoriented at first, then gradually realized someone was calling her.After waiting many times for Quentin's call without success, Talia had no expectations this time. She assumed it would just be an ordinary call."Hello." Her voice was lazy and slightly hoarse.Then Quentin's gentle voice came through. "Were you sleeping?"Talia covered her mouth as tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She forced herself not to cry and responded coolly, "Yes."Hearing this, Quentin spoke again. "Then should you get some rest?"It wasn't a statement but a question. Even so, Talia instinctively worried he would hang up immediately.So she called out his name somewhat anxiously. "Quentin.

    When Talia saw that it was Margaret, she abandoned any thought of fleeing. Margaret carried a small container in her hand.
