“You can inform Nina that you won’t be returning tonight.”A frown appeared on Isaac's face when he heard Emilia’s words.Ever since Emilia and Jayden broke up, the latter had never visited their manor. Later, the Moores also went overseas, gradually losing touch with each other.Isaac was a man of principles.Though one of his biggest regrets in life would be not having Jayden as his son-in-law, since they’ve already moved on, there was no need to rekindle old feelings.“Thanks, but I gotta go home,” Jayden declined.He appreciated their help, but he couldn’t hang around any longer. After all, it was his wife, Nina’s birthday, and she was waiting for him at home.Isaac breathed a sigh of relief on the inside, but Emilia didn’t seem thrilled with Jayden’s response.“Don’t be so stubborn, Jayden,” Emilia argued. “You’ve lost a lot of blood, and you can’t even stand straight. Can you bear to let Nina see you in this condition?”Her words made Jayden pause and reconsider his decision.Th

Six months later…The rich aroma of the food wafted through the air as Nina stirred the curry with one hand, attentively listening to the news on her phone. Just then, her phone began to ring. Switching her phone to speaker mode, Nina answered the call. “Hey!”“I hope you don’t have any plans tonight. We’re going to the Fantasy nightclub.” Nora’s voice came through the line.“Again? It’s the third time this month.” It seemed like the nightclub had become their go-to destination recently.“Don’t tell me you’ve set a limit on how many times you can visit a club?” Nora asked in disbelief.Nina chuckled. “No, not at all. I just don’t want to become addicted to the nightlife.”“Better than getting addicted to love. Anyway, be ready by ten. I’ll pick up Krystal first and then head to your place.”“That’s fine. I need to buy some clothing materials, so I’ll meet you guys directly at the club.”“Alright.”Nina hung up the call and hummed a song as she continued her cooking.Six months had pas

Jayden rolled under the covers, reaching out to hug the person beside him. But his hand met with the empty sheets.With a start, he sat up and ran his hand through his tousled hair to gather his thoughts. The vivid memories of the night flooded back, making him sigh in exasperation.If not for the nail scratches on his upper body, he might have considered it all a dream.A dream he had yearned for during their long separation.In those long months, he had kept himself busy, hoping that the heavy workload would help him forget about her.He had assumed that after not seeing each other for a while, he might feel nothing, but he had underestimated the strong influence she had on him.Just one glance from her was enough to crumble down the self-control he was so proud of.There was no shortage of women throwing themselves at him, and he had even considered the possibility of moving on in his life.Yet, no one could fill the void or provide the spiritual satisfaction that Nina brought into

“I just wanted to have a good chat with you,” Emilia began, “Jayden, we’ve known each other for so long, but you’ve never touched me. Even when we dated, the farthest we’ve gone is with the kiss. Why? Am I not attractive? In what way am I inferior to that cheap woman?” By the end of her sentence, her voice was tinged with a sense of longing and resentment.She really could not understand.In terms of appearance, she looked better than Nina. Thanks to advanced technology, even her sexy figure outshined most models. She also came from a prestigious family and was a winner in life.She had assumed that after separating him and Nina, she could have Jayden back in her life.But, over the past six months, he had kept his distance from her, preventing her from getting close to him. While it may have appeared to the outside world that they had reconciled, only she knew the truth.If only he had been obedient and stayed with her, she wouldn’t have resorted to extreme measures.Jayden’s gaze he

“Do you really not want me to visit you?”“Yes,” Nina replied softly,Jayden continued to gaze at her, his eyes fixed on her lovely face. After a moment of silence, he nodded.Strangely, instead of feeling relieved, Nina was disappointed.“I won’t disturb you again,” Jayden said earnestly. “However, before that, can you accompany me somewhere?”“No.” Nina rejected him almost immediately.“Just one last time, okay? Please, accompany me, and after that, I won’t show you my face again.”Nina hesitated.Gazing into his dark eyes, she felt as though they had the power to enchant her like a bewitching potion. She contemplated for a moment, before agreeing. “One last time, Jayden.”——On the weekend, as the golden rays of the sun streamed through the apartment’s window, there was a knock at the door.Nina opened the door to find a package, along with a beautifully crafted envelope lying on her doorstep.Curious, she opened the envelope and discovered a card inside."Thank you for accepting th
