Clara's heart throbbed and ached, feeling a little empty without him. No matter how much she tried to keep him, she could not. Shortly after, she got up and walked out of the cinema with a bitter smile.Clara came to the exit and saw Wilson on the phone."Okay, I know. I'll be back," Wilson said and ended the call. After putting his phone away, he turned around to see Clara standing behind him.Something flashed in his eyes. "We have to end the date now. I have to go back.""Did something happen?" Clara asked worriedly."I had something on schedule today. I didn't want to go, but my mom called. She said I should go," Wilson explained. "I'm afraid I won't be back so soon," he said, ready to leave.Clara grabbed him by the arm, stopping him. "Must you go to this appointment today?"Wilson turned his gaze fully on her. "Yes. If you think we haven't spent enough time today, I'll make it up to you another time."Clara's heart stung with pain. Make it up to her another time? He mad

Wilson and Mandy came into the house, and they paused when they saw Clara waiting in the living room.Wilson frowned. "Why are you still up?"Clara managed a smile. "I was waiting for you. The day hasn't ended yet. It's only eleven o'clock, and there's still an hour until midnight."Wilson's gaze had darkened with evident displeasure. Then, he turned to Mandy and said, "Go to your room."Mandy answered obediently and returned to her room. She no longer regarded Clara as a threat. Besides, Clara was going back to Solaria tomorrow.Wilson tugged his tie as he came over to Clara. "There's only one hour left. What else do you want?""I'll cook some supper for you. I was planning to make you dinner tonight, but you came home late, so let's have supper instead," Clara explained. "Wait in the dining room. It'll be ready soon." She dashed into the kitchen after that, busy with cooking the meal.Although reluctant, Wilson pursed his lips and waited in the dining room. When he saw her c

"I just want him to be happy," Serenity said.Although they were once childhood friends who had shared hardships, she was just a passerby in Lucas's life. She wondered if Coco might be the one for Lucas.That night, after the children had gone to bed, Serenity went to the study.Jackson was in the middle of a video conference, so Serenity quietly sat on the sofa as she watched him work. She was used to Jackson being busy. Even when he was at home, he had to go through documents and hold video conferences with executives from overseas branches. As the CEO of such a large corporation, he had a heavy burden. Despite Jackson’s busy schedule, he would always make an effort to spend time with Serenity and the children. Sometimes, Serenity would wake up in the middle of the night to find him still working even though he had been asleep beside her earlier.He would assure her that he would go back to bed soon after finishing up a few things.At those times, she would feel frustrated that s

"Why are people being so respectful to me?" Coco asked in confusion."It has something to do with Lucas," Minnie replied. "The people who saved you were from the Gomez Group, so everyone thinks you have powerful connections. Naturally, they’ll respect you now.” Coco was speechless. She was seen as someone with special connections now. "By the way, how are things between you and Lucas?" Minnie asked curiously."Not much of a difference." Coco was still pretending to be Lucas’s girlfriend. The only difference was that she used to do it out of sympathy. Since she knew the suffering of being hurt by love, she wanted to help him move on to repay his kindness.If it weren't for Lucas, she might be severely injured. "Actually, why don’t you date Lucas for real?” Minnie whispered. "You know, many people wished that they were in your place now. Don't you think it's a bit of a waste to play pretend with him?"Coco chuckled. "Do you think that someone prestigious like him would date just anyo

It was normal for everyone at the gathering to have looked suspiciously at Coco. Their relationship was fake from the beginning, and she was just pretending to be Lucas’s girlfriend. Lucas had been clear to her when they started dating, so even if he publicly declared his love for her, he wasn’t considered to be lying. Coco was aware of their difference, and she hadn’t fantasized about him. She knew that she would lead a normal life once everything with Lucas was over. For now, whatever she did for Lucas was only to repay his gratitude for sending his men to save her at the film set. Just then, Lucas called her, and she quickly answered the call."Are you free tomorrow evening?" Lucas asked."Yes.”"How about joining me for a banquet?" he said.Coco was surprised. "A banquet? Is it a formal one?""Mhm, somewhat formal.” "But… I don’t have an evening gown,” Coco said sheepishly. She hardly ever had any occasion to wear gowns, and she didn’t want to embarrass Lucas by wearing her
