"I looked up some local cuisine online. There's one that looks really delicious, but it's a bit far, and if we go late, we'll have to wait in line!"Over the past few years, the people Fiona had been around were either cunning and scheming or decadent. It had been many, many years since she had seen someone as innocent and carefree as Harold. For a brief moment, Fiona saw a glimpse of her past self before the dramatic changes. Warm and earnest."Okay, since I'm treating you to a meal, whatever you choose is up to you."Fiona patiently nodded, as if coaxing a child. Harold's excitement was palpable. Fiona grabbed her bag and left the house with Harold. Autumn in New Port, with yellow leaves filling the streets and alleyways, created a charming atmosphere. Fiona sat in the passenger seat, lazily listening to Harold's excited introduction of the sights along the way. He had seemed to make a lot of preparations. Fiona responded with indifference, not showing much enthusiasm. But in Harold

Darwin held Fiona in his arms. It felt surreal, as if they were in another world."Mr. Solomon," Her hesitance gave way to the exhaustion she felt, and she didn't resist."Hmm..." Darwin buried his head in her neck, making a nonverbal gesture of acknowledgment. It felt like something was slowly tearing Fiona's heart apart."I'm tired. I just want to live a peaceful and ordinary life... Please let me go." There was no hysteria, no angry outburst. Just a calm request. Darwin instinctively tightened his grasp around Fiona's waist."I'm not Miss Robbins," Fiona continued, "the things you like, they are all an act. But I'm tired... I don't want to be Lilian's substitute anymore. I want to be myself again.""Stop talking. Weren't you going to rest?" Darwin frees one hand and gently covered Fiona's mouth. "Sleep!"I can't understand what Darwin is thinking. He doesn't love her and has found a new replacement, so why does he still bother her? Blaming her past competence? Fiona laughed at hers

There was no one outside the door, Harold had already left.Darwin was very satisfied with this.Subconsciously, he glanced at Fiona.She walked with lowered eyelids, her expression cold and devoid of any extra emotions."I thought he was so determined," Darwin sneered.Fiona ignored him.The two of them walked to the elevator, one after the other.Darwin's phone rang.He glanced at it and his expression turned cold visibly.It was Anniston calling.He hung up directly.The elevator door opened, and two children playing inside rushed out.They bumped into Fiona directly."Be careful!" Darwin quickly pulled her into his arms to protect her."Sorry! The kids weren't paying attention!" the children's parents apologized immediately.Darwin's face darkened.The two little boys also quickly apologized.Fiona looked gentle: "Be more careful in the future. If you really hurt someone, Mom and Dad will be in big trouble!""We know..." The two children pouted in response.After apologizing repea

The Special Care Ward had a spacious room layout. There was even a sofa by the window. Darwin nestled in the sofa. He dealt with some unfinished tasks during the day that he hadn't had time to handle earlier. Outside the window, the autumn rain was drizzling. Anniston left not long after. Jones also wisely left the room In the hospital room, only Darwin and Hathaway remained."Darwin, if you're feeling bored, you can go back. I'm fine," Hathaway considerately said."It's fine, you rest," Darwin replied without looking up.The matters were all taken care of.He absentmindedly opened Fiona's WhatsAPP.In the past, if she wasn't by his side, she would always ask every time they flew, during takeoff and landing.But not this time.There was a tinge of sourness in Darwin's heart.Then he clicked on Fiona's Status.The background of her Status was a cute furry kitten.Darwin had never seen it before.When did she start raising a cat?He scrolled down.The most recent post was three hours ag

As her words fell, silence filled the room.With furrowed brows,, Wyatt couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Secretary Woods makes a valid point.""What do you mean? Don't you want to negotiate with us?" the leader of the villagers stood up in agitation and banged the table.Johnson quickly tried to calm the situation, saying, "Stay calm! Stay calm!"Then, he looked at Fiona and said, "Secretary Woods, we really need to discuss this matter properly. Making impulsive decisions won't do us any good. It will only delay the project and cause losses for the company."Fiona looked at Johnson in confusion and asked, "Impulsive decisions? Johnson, I am discussing the matter objectively. Did I say anything wrong?"Johnson remained silent, barely able to keep the smile on his face. He was infuriated at being outmaneuvered by a woman.Johnson looked at Wyatt. According to hierarchy, someone with the surname "Lu" should have a higher position. How could someone take charge and disrupt the situation
