"Nora, it's been over half an hour since the scheduled photoshoot time," the photographer remarked.The photographer had worked with Nora numerous times, and they were quite familiar with each other. So, the photographer indirectly hinted that she was running late without sounding too rude.It's worth noting that in pursuing perfect promotional photos that would showcase her charm and the allure of the clothing, Rowan, a perfectionist, had spared no expense to hire a renowned photographer after interviewing several.The photographer's time was precious. When Nora realized she was over half an hour late, her mind sharpened to attention. She looked up and noticed she was in the studio's parking lot.Quickly, she apologized. "I'm sorry. I'm in the parking lot. I'll be there in a moment."After hanging up the phone, she began to undo her seatbelt and turned to Julian, who was sitting beside her.She asked with annoyance, "Why didn't you wake me up when we arrived? Don't tell me you p

Wendy smiled and said, "Well, it's good that you know. You're in Staten Hill, and so is Ethan, so you're not alone. We were all good friends during our school days. If you need help, you can ask him."Wendy mainly wanted to comfort Jane's bleak mood, so she intentionally brought up Ethan so that the two would maybe get closer.Ethan had eyes for only Silvia during their college years, while Jane was too introverted. Now, Ethan was shining brightly, and Jane had become almost invisible.Therefore, no one thought of them as a couple or lovers. They were simply seen as close friends.Ryan entered the room at this moment. He went straight to Silvia and kindly asked, "Are you tired? Did our son give you a hard time?"Silvia smiled and pointed to their son, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. "No, he ate and slept. He's been very well-behaved."Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to Miya, saying, "Someone is looking for you outside.""Looking for me?" Miya was surprised. "

"He's my brother's friend."As usual, Nora was trying not to be associated with Julian. Julian gave her a furious glare at the introduction.After casting a glance at Julian with enthusiasm, the bearded old man, Victor Caldwell, proposed, "My darling Nora, I think our photoshoot for this issue would be even more perfect with this gentleman by your side."Nora was in despair. "You mean the two of us should shoot together?"Victor, who was the director, nodded. "My darling Nora, you must understand that a man enhances a woman's beauty."Victor only considered having them shoot together after being amazed by Julian's appearance. This man was very handsome. He had captivating features and seemed to have a good figure and a naturally elegant demeanor. All his qualities made him perfect for the camera!Furthermore, it was true that a man should complement a woman's beauty. Moreover, he could tell from how Julian looked at Nora that there was more to his interest than met the eye. Tog

Julian's phone was turned off. Despite Nora's repeated attempts to call, it remained unresponsive. She couldn't fathom why he had turned it off. Later, when she opened her computer to review some of Rowan's company’s financial accounts, she made several errors.Her mind wandered uncontrollably to various negative scenarios, most involving Julian.In reality, after leaving Nora, Julian decided against staying at a hotel as planned. Instead, he opted to go straight to the airport and leave.Realizing she might not take good care of herself, he ordered takeout for her from a nearby restaurant. After instructing them to deliver it at a particular time, he continued his journey to the airport.Julian chose to leave because he believed he needed to exercise restraint. He had underestimated his ability to control himself. He thought that merely being by her side and watching her would be enough, but he couldn't resist the urge to kiss and hold her once he was with her.Furthermore, dur

However, being together was one thing, and talking about marriage was another. Nora was still young, so there was no rush to get married.Given Julian's philandering, postponing the wedding for a few years might be a good idea. Perhaps Julian's current infatuation and passion for Nora were only temporary. Over the years, the passion might fade away, and he might lose his current dedication and enthusiasm. Only then could one truly assess a man's attitude toward love and marriage.Rowan dropped Nora off at the Old Pierce Manor. Nora invited him inside, but he declined.In their days in Detroit, Rowan had been occasionally visiting and meeting with Greg. However, they would always meet outside, at a cafe. Rowan had never set foot in the Old Pierce Manor because he didn't want to upset Ophelia. From Ophelia's perspective, she likely wouldn't want to see a child her husband had with another woman inside her own home.After Rowan left Nora and returned home, Julian's car pulled up. He h
