Kimberly quietly observed the man before her whom she once passionately adored. Now, her heart felt no ripples as she gazed at him again.Her bright and clear eyes fixed on him, her voice devoid of affection, “Steven, don’t you realize that you initiated the divorce? What right do you have to blame me now?”Steven's throat tightened upon hearing her words. He stood up and walked towards her, bending slightly, his gaze earnest and hopeful as he tried to explain, “Kimberly, I shouldn’t have acted out of anger, making so many mistakes. I never had anything serious with those women.”Steven pleaded in a low voice, “I now realize what’s most important. My arrogance and pride hurt you, and I apologize. You can hit or scold me, and I promise never to repeat these mistakes. Can you give me a chance to make amends? I swear, if you’re even slightly dissatisfied, you can stop anytime, and I won't bother you again.”Unmoved by his sincere words, Kimberly said flatly, “From the moment you asked fo

Steven sneered, feeling no fear towards Samuel. He thought that he hadn't realized before that Samuel not only had the potential to be a third one in a relationship but also managed to do it so confidently and shamelessly.His magnetic voice suddenly turned cold, “You doubt me? What does our marital issue have to do with you? Are you addicted to snooping into other people’s marital lives? Not just snooping, but also resorting to evil means.”Steven’s lips curled into a cold smile mixed with disdain and contempt, “Now it seems you are nothing but a rat in the gutter. I was blind to have considered you a best friend.”Samuel’s lips were tightly pressed together, ignoring his words. His voice was chillingly cold, “She has post-traumatic stress disorder. Over half of the people with this condition develop anxiety and depressive disorders, and the suicide rate is about six times higher than normal. She’s strong and hasn’t had an episode in a long time. Why did she suddenly have an episode

On the way back, Kimberly maintained a calm demeanor that revealed no hint of abnormality.However, Samuel couldn't help but frown slightly at her overly compliant behavior today, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.He uncrossed his long legs and patted his thigh, beckoning to Kimberly, sitting beside him, "Come sit here."Returning from her thoughts, Kimberly looked at the man sitting elegantly beside her. His handsome brows were slightly raised, and his narrow, cold eyes fixed on her with a focused yet relaxed demeanor. Even when he deliberately restrained his sharpness, he exuded a compelling sense of control.She should keep her distance from such a man by her initial intentions, as he was not someone she could afford to provoke. However, there was a magical allure about him, giving her a sense of security as if his mere presence could support her world, making her involuntarily want to rely on him.Kimberly glanced at his long legs clad in black trousers, hesitated momentarily,

Kimberly could feel the joy emanating from him, her delicate and soft hands gently wrapping around his lean waist.After silence, she asked, "Are you still satisfied?"A glint of happiness was evident in Samuel's deep and long eyes. He leaned in to kiss her, his lips curving slightly, even the tone of his voice becoming more affectionate. He softly hummed in agreement.The usually calculating man suddenly seemed to transform into someone else, his voice soft and unusually compliant as he said, "Satisfied.""That's good," she murmured with a light smile, touched by his happiness but not forgetting the matter. "Samuel, I want a child. Try to fob me off with a huge remuneration again and see what happens."His heart felt like it was filled with honey, his cold eyes and brows softening with a smile. "I haven't touched a penny of that money. I'll add more to make it a round figure and keep it all as a gift for our child."Kimberly was taken aback, speechless.After a while, she spoke unrea

Kimberly felt as if all her bones had turned to jelly, too exhausted to straighten her back. She leaned on him, letting him do as he pleased.His well-defined fingers gently combed through her soft hair, tenderly blowing it dry. Resting against him with her eyes closed, she was on the verge of falling asleep.Finally, the faint noise of the hairdryer ceased, and he put it aside. His hands clasped around her waist, and he bent down to scoop her up horizontally.As she was laid on the bed, Kimberly instinctively rolled to the other side, wanting nothing more than a good night's sleep undisturbed.However, the man behind her had other ideas. His tall, imposing figure leaned over, and his strong arms enveloped her slender waist from behind. His hot chest pressed against her excellent, thin back, followed by kisses trailing down her soft, pale neck.Half-conscious, Kimberly tried to dodge.To her surprise, he became even more unbridled, flipping her over and advancing again.In her daze, K
