"Will you come to see me and the baby?" Flora asked hesitantly. After all, she would be living here alone. Although it was quiet, too much quietness could make one feel lonely. Thinking about not having his company every night, she couldn't help but show a hint of loss and reluctance, a rare expression for her."Let's talk about it when I have time," Maxwell gave her a vague answer. After a final glance, he turned and walked out.Soon, the door was pushed open again, and two young, beautiful, and well-trained women entered. They smiled at Flora and said, "Miss Flora, we were sent by Big Young Master to accompany you.""Huh?" Flora was surprised. Damn it! He even sent two people to watch over her. Although she wanted to go out for a stroll, she hadn't thought about escaping again. After all, she couldn't escape from his palm, and more importantly, she didn't have such a strong desire to run away anymore because... she was already developing feelings of reluctance to part with him!"Oh,

In a courtyard of a two-story building, Chiyoko, arrogant and haughty, looked down at the unconscious Flora lying on the ground. Her lips twitched, revealing a faint indifferent smile.She then lifted her high-heeled shoe and forcefully rotated it left and right on Flora's fingers, sneering, "Piano-playing hands... let's see how you play in the future."The fingers on the ground immediately became a bloody mess, while their owner remained completely unaware, oblivious to the violation she was enduring. The sedative was heavy, and she probably wouldn't wake up for some time."How do you want to deal with her?" Philip walked in leisurely, glanced at Flora on the ground, and then embraced Chiyoko from behind. His restless hands roamed toward her chest, gently kneading."Get rid of her unborn child for me, and make sure she never appears in front of Maxwell again!" Chiyoko said viciously.Philip chuckled, kissed her ear, and said, "Why not just say you want her dead, straightforward and c

Flora, who was sent to the hospital by Darren, sat bored on the bed. She couldn't understand; she only had a hand injury, and although it was very painful, it didn't warrant a hospital stay, did it?According to Darren, Maxwell was afraid that she would be overly frightened and harm the baby, so he insisted she stay in the hospital for a few days for observation. Hmph! Always thinking about the child! Everything in his heart and eyes was about the child!She had been in the hospital for two days already, and she hadn't seen even him. The heartless guy, even if she deceived him, wouldn't justify leaving her in the hospital without a glance for two days. She doubted if the tenderness he showed in front of the small apartment was just a pretense. Perhaps his willingness to die for her was also fake!No, it should be real, but not for her, only for the child. Wasn't his heart filled only with thoughts of the child?Holding her right hand tightly wrapped in bandages, Flora felt unjust. The

Two days later, Flora woke up with frustration. Leaning against the bedside, she buried her face in her knees, feeling angry and, at the same time, aggrieved. More than a week had passed, and there was still no sign of Maxwell.It was truly hateful. Since that night when she drove him away, he hadn't shown up again. Looking up at the three roses that Chloe kindly left on the table, the roses had lost their luster and were wilting.She even began to regret why she had driven Maxwell away that night. A person with such a strong sense of pride, being heartlessly driven away by her, must have lost face, right? He must be angry, right?Nothing serious had happened. Even when he and Chiyoko ended up on the same bed, she forgave him. In the end, it had become what it was today because of an innocuous remark. Now, thinking calmly, she found his words reasonable. Wasn't it because he often made such remarks to belittle and insult her before?In the past, she could pretend not to hear them. Why

Maxwell didn't return to the bedroom until almost midnight. For the first time in his life, he ignored the teasing from others and walked into the room holding a bouquet of vibrant champagne-colored roses.He never had the habit of giving flowers to anyone, but he wanted Flora to know that he was trying to change himself. Just like changing his temper, he was willing to tolerate any rude or naughty behavior from her.As someone who was extremely serious with employees, subordinates, and everyone else, he had never imagined that he would one day indulge a woman like this, let alone change himself for her.Mrs. Smith, seeing him come in, welcomed him with joy and said, smiling, "Maxwell, you're finally back. I was afraid you were busy with social engagements or other matters, so I didn't dare to call you.""Aunt, what makes you so happy?" Maxwell chuckled as he looked at Mrs. Smith, finding it amusing that she stayed up so late and greeted him with such a cheerful demeanor.But seeing M
