After Yaslyn resigned, she devoted herself to caring for Henry, ensuring he was discharged from the hospital as quickly as possible.She also visited Rachel's hospital room, but found her asleep.Not wanting to disturb her, Yaslyn left her homemade gingerbread treats with Mr. Carden to give to Rachel.While Henry was in the hospital, he felt as if Yaslyn hovered over him at every turn. Since he was finally free, he wanted to take her on a thrilling day out."Yaslyn, can we go to the amusement park today? I haven't been to one in a long time!"Seemingly disappointed, Henry looked down as if he wanted to go.Yaslyn had lost her taste for amusement parks at a young age and quickly rejected the idea. "I'm not going, Henry. If you want to go, go by yourself.""Oh, come on, Yaslyn. All my injuries were because of you, and you can't even spare a day for me? You're heartless," Henry said.Yaslyn was furious. "Well, maybe you shouldn't have saved me then!"Henry immediately softened his

"Yaslyn, are you okay?"The voice on the other end of the line was Xoan's, tinged with urgency.It bore the weight of a man who had looked at trending posts and found his girlfriend sprawled on train tracks. Even at a distance, he recognized her instantly.Yaslyn stifled a laugh, speaking in a low voice to disguise herself."I'm sorry, sir, but the owner of this phone passed away half an hour ago. Who are you?"Xoan paused. "I'm her boyfriend. Is she really gone?"Hearing Xoan's voice, almost devoid of emotion but subtly laced with dread, Yaslyn felt a shiver run down her spine."Yes, sir. She’s going to be cremated shortly.""Yaslyn, do you find this funny?"Xoan could not keep up the act anymore. He had seen right through her."Wow, you caught me. I thought I'd disguised myself well."Xoan sighed. "How could I not recognize your voice? Also, don't lie to me again."His tone was almost protective, as if advising a loved one."Why are you snooping around in my life?"Igno

"Alright, that's settled then," said Yaslyn as she wrapped up the brief chat with Mr. Carden.Suddenly, it began to rain. Henry quickly ushered Rachel indoors. Seeing the two of them soaking wet, Yaslyn could not help but laugh."You two really love to play, don't you? Henry, you're just like a little kid."Henry squinted and smiled, "I'm not the one who wanted to play. This little one insisted that I make her twenty-two flower crowns to give to her twenty-two classmates back in school.""Ah, she knows how to share."Yaslyn affectionately ruffled Rachel's hair. "Alright. Rachel, go take a shower and change your clothes, or you'll catch a cold again." Rachel nodded obediently, scampering off.Yaslyn then turned her attention back to Henry, scrutinizing his tall, bulky frame. "There might not be any spare clothes here that'll fit you, and I don’t have anything suitable in my car either."Mr. Carden, ever the host, grabbed a set of his own clothes from the wardrobe. "These should

Laird held his face in his hands, his eyes full of fear and regret. He tried to steady himself, forcing out an offer."Henry, let's not call the cops. You want to be the leading man, right? I'll make sure you're in every future production. Just don't report this!"Henry Warren was not a man easily swayed. Looking at Yaslyn who looked humiliated and hurt, he pulled out his phone and dialed 911 without hesitation."Save your excuses for the police," Henry said.Laird was furious. "Listen, Henry, if you do this, forget about ever working in showbiz again."Henry tightened his grip on his phone. "I couldn't care less. I'll quit if I have to."Yaslyn frowned slightly. "Henry, what are you saying?"He turned to her and smiled, a flicker of sweetness lacing the tension in the air. "It's okay. If I lose the opportunity to act, I'll just go back and inherit the family business."His words were light, but Yaslyn saw it—the sliver of hidden pain in the depths of his eyes. Pissing off Lair

"Why are you so insistent on bringing me back home?"Yaslyn could not quite grasp the gravity of what Xoan was offering—vice president of half of the Warren empire, no less.Why would he go to such lengths for her?Xoan's eyes met Yaslyn's, swirling with a kind softness. "I like you, Yaslyn. I don't want you to be far away from me," Xoan said, his gaze filled with tender emotion.He had also done a lot of thinking over the past few days. Although he could not change Yollanda's position to make room for Yaslyn, he could offer Yaslyn something better."Don't you care about my attitude toward you? Well, let me tell you—you are the future mistress of the Warren estate. I can give you all of the company, so can we stop being mad at each other?"Staring at his face, Yaslyn found herself momentarily speechless. His semi-confession had struck a resounding chord within her. She finally murmured, "I understand, Xoan."As they pulled up to her mansion, Xoan embraced her.Yaslyn did not pu
