"But I'm not pure anymore. Gale, Aurum likes you, doesn't he?"Gale's heart felt even heavier. Even Ivy could see it?"I did not mean anything else. The way Aurum looks at you is very different from how he looks at others, so I dared to make such a bold guess," Ivy explained.Ivy could not ignore how Aurum's eyes were filled with love for Gale. She thought Aurum loved Gale, even though they were just friends, and that it was so complicated."I'm married," Gale replied.She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her throat seemed to be choked up, unable to make a sound. Both she and Ivy were equally pitiful. How could she comfort her? She and Aurum were friends, but they had sex, and she did not know how they would deal with it in the future.Ivy and Aurum originally had a possibility, but Paul's actions had completely shattered Ivy's self-esteem. With Aurum's status and position, he should care about Ivy's purity a lot. They were just friends before, but now he might jus

She had just suggested that to Joe before going to dinner with Ivy. Then, the most unexpected thing happened in her life. Gale was completely lost in confusion, completely forgetting everything else."Tonight, I'll get an answer. I have to give it my all. I can't let her refuse me again, and I can't accept a refusal... Success or failure hinges on this moment!" Joe said."What can I do to help you?"Joe leaned in, briefly explaining the plan.Finally, he emphasized, "Remember, okay? Don't mess up. Otherwise, if I fail, I'll blame you!""I got it." Gale nodded. "Don't worry."Joe seemed a bit nervous, rubbing his hands. "Then I'll go now. See you later.""Sure."While Gale responded, she picked up her phone, intending to send a message to Shawn. As soon as she opened the chat box, she noticed someone in front of her. She looked up, and Shawn was standing right in front of her."I was just about to look for you. Didn't expect you to show up." She smiled."As long as you need me

Her questioning almost overwhelmed Gale. However, she remembered Joe's instructions and refused to yield."No, really, stop guessing. Sit tight and don't distract me while I'm driving. I'm the one behind the wheel, chill," Gale said.Summer was surprised by how tight-lipped she was and rubbed her chin."Gale, what are you up to?"Summer started analyzing."First, you suddenly asked me out to dinner without checking if I had time beforehand. You just went ahead and arranged it. Last time we had a meal together, you had a drink and got caught by Shawn. He should be strict with you, and wouldn't just agree to you having dinner with me so casually, he would probably be afraid you'd drink again."Today, you're even driving. How many times have you actually driven since you got your license? I can count with one hand!"And what's with asking me to put on makeup? Do you think I don't look good enough now? Who would look radiant after a day's work?"And you asked me not to regret not p

"It's my husband," Gale replied."Why Shawn? What's he doing here?" Summer was puzzled."He's worried, and said he wants to protect me. He's afraid I'll get into trouble alone. He would also like to witness the end of Joe's singlehood.""I... I haven't agreed to Joe yet...""Yeah yeah yeah, you haven't agreed now, but you will later!" Summer blushed, showing a shy smile. A woman in love was truly adorable and sweet.Gale thought if Summer was happy, she would be happy too. The car entered the underground parking lot of the mall. Summer was both excited and nervous because she did not know what awaited her next. They got on the elevator."Hey, pretend you know nothing. Don't let Joe see that you've figured it out. Otherwise, it'd be boring. Later, he'll come to me and complain that I didn't hide it well," Gale advised.She heard no response from the person beside her."Summer? Summer?" Gale found it strange, tugging at her sleeve, "Did you hear what I said?""Huh... huh? Wh

Summer had seen Joe's back before, but today, she noticed that he looked so tall, his shoulders so broad. She wanted to lean on him. Would it feel very solid? Could his embrace shield her from the wind on this rooftop? In the distance, Gale was nervous, clutching her palms tightly. A large hand landed on her waist. Shawn said, "Why are you so nervous?""Because... I don't know what Summer's answer will be.""It'll be revealed soon.""What if she rejects him? The real show is still ahead." Joe must have prepared more than just the decor on the rooftop. If Summer did not agree, everything else would not be shown, and it would all disappear without a trace.Shawn answered calmly, "Whether she accepts or rejects, Joe's prepared things will be shown to Summer.""Why? How do you know?""It's a man's intuition, plus the connection between brothers."With that, Shawn pulled her into his arms. "Galey, it's windy here. Be careful not to catch a cold."She leaned against him, smiling. "It
