Servants bustled about in the villa's grand hall, attending to various tasks. Mason and Zoe sat on the sofa. She was flipping through bridal magazines, likely for Yanni's sake. Meanwhile, he sipped his tea, appearing relaxed but frequently glancing toward the entrance. Eventually, Mason let out a sigh of relief when the sound of a car engine echoed from the courtyard. Zoe spoke softly, "Why not call and ask if you're so eager for them to get together?"Mason chuckled lightly, "Why should I be nervous?"As the couple chatted, Jamie entered from outside, shrugging off his coat. He frowned slightly when he noticed the yellow hue of the blossoms on his shoulder. Then, a servant approached to take the coat, smiling as she said, “The winter jasmines are blooming exceptionally well this year. They say spring flowers symbolize mischief, but I believe it’s a sign of double happiness for our family. "Mr. Jamie must have hit it off during your blind date today. His eyes are sparkling wi

Jamie asked casually, “Did they leave together?” The manager nodded. Then, he noticed Jamie’s expression darken, and he thought he must have misspoken. He wanted to say something to remedy the situation, but Jamie had already opened the door and climbed into his black Cullinan. The early spring weather was chilly. Sitting in the car felt like being in an icehouse, but Jamie didn’t start the engine. Instead, he sat in the frigid vehicle. His expression was indifferent as he pulled out a cigarette. He lit it and began to smoke slowly.Pale blue smoke rose as Jamie raised his hand to crack the window slightly. In the chill of the wind and the haze of smoke, he thought about his past with Paityn, including the good, the bad, the sweet, and the angry. Jamie seemed to recall that Paityn was the only woman in his life. From a physical to an emotional level, it felt like she was the only one he had ever connected with. However, she seemed unappreciative. After all, she had so many pros

A week later, Carol was brought back to Brookesville.Initially, Tegan had intended to take Carol in. After some contemplation, however, Paityn decided to keep her daughter by her side. She told Tegan, “I can’t let Carol always be a burden to others.”Carol gently leaned into her mother's embrace on the private plane. Tegan reached over and stroked the little girl's head.…As the private jet landed, Paityn took Carol to her new home.When Carol stepped out of the car, she was wearing a pale yellow down jacket. Her little face bundled up snugly. She looked at the beautiful courtyard of the villa. Although it was winter, the lawn was still lush and green, and they were perfectly trimmed.Carol was overjoyed. She looked up and asked, “Will I be living here from now on, Mommy?”Paityn replied with a slight sobbing in her voice, “Yes. You'll be living here with Mommy from now on.”The accompanying nanny carried a small suitcase and gazed at the impressive villa. She couldn't help b

Paityn also extended her hand. She forced a polite smile. “Hello.” Paityn and Yara shook hands briefly before the latter turned to Jamie. Her excitement was palpable. “Let’s head in. Yanni just asked about us!” Jamie clearly doted on Yara. He nodded and briefly acknowledged Paityn before taking Yara by the hand and walking away. As the door closed behind them, Paityn found herself alone, with the large glass windows reflecting her solitary figure. She reached up to touch her face, easily recognizing how pale and strained she looked. A wave of self-mockery washed over Paityn. The fact was that it was her choice to end things. However, she was the one on the brink of tears now. For whom was she putting on this facade? After taking five minutes to compose herself, Paityn stepped back into the banquet hall, transforming once again into her flawless self until she was suddenly intercepted by Tegan. “Paityn!” Tegan called out. Her expression was serious when she blocked Pait

After the two of them set down their glasses, Yara became even more bashful, and she leaned entirely against Jamie. They looked sweet and affectionate together.Underneath the dazzling crystal chandelier, Jamie’s handsome face held a hint of restraint, which was quite alluring to women. However, his gaze was dark and focused intently on Paityn.…Paityn’s face turned pale. Such a scene was too cruel for her. She had to muster all her strength to control her emotions, ensuring she didn’t lose her composure in such a setting. Jamie’s gaze remained fixed on Paityn as if the entire world had been reduced to just the two of them. Even the most oblivious guests could sense the tension at this moment, especially Yara, who anxiously tugged at Jamie's sleeve and asked, “What’s wrong, Jamie?”Jamie's expression was indifferent as he raised his glass to toast the table with a light drink before moving to another table.Tegan tightly grasped Paityn's wrist, giving her strength.Lorian was
