Laura had already been frustrated by Miguel's change of heart regarding her father's case. Now, hearing him repeatedly praise Jonah made it seem like she was unworthy of him.This left Laura uncomfortable, and her words carried a sharp edge as she replied. She stared at Miguel fixedly. "Mr. Gosling, I think you've misunderstood. I'm neither stringing your son along nor clinging to him. I've made it clear to him that we're not a good match, and I have no intention of continuing anything with him."Miguel frowned. "But he's refusing to answer our calls or come home because of you. If that's the case, why don't you call him and repeat what you told me? Or better yet, meet with him and settle this in person. Laura, I will not take your father's case even if you involve Jonah."Laura's frustration boiled over. So, he thought she agreed to date Jonah to manipulate him into taking her father's case.Miguel pushed again. "Please consider how we as parents feel. Call Jonah or arrange a meet

Britney chuckled and even gave Simon a thumbs-up. "Good luck, Mr. Moore!"Simon didn't understand kids these days. Why were they always so cheerful?Still, it wasn't bad that Laura had such a loyal companion.He nodded. "I'll leave Laura in your care."With that, he quickly strode out to catch up with Laura.The blush on Laura's face had yet to fade as she hit him in frustration. "This is all your fault! Thank goodness it was Britney who saw us. If it were someone else, who knows what kind of gossip would be spreading by Monday."Simon took her hand and led her into the car. "Are you that worried about people knowing about us? Is being with me that much of a burden?"Laura glanced at him. "How would you feel if rumors about you being with a woman for the money spread?"All she wanted was for Simon to put himself in her shoes for once and avoid making things awkward in front of her colleagues and friends.To her surprise, Simon burst out laughing. "Then you'd better hurry and b

"The Ferris wheel?" Simon sighed. "Aren't you a bit too old for something this boring? Wouldn't a roller coaster be more exciting?" Laura rolled her eyes at him. "What do you know?" She remembered reading in a book once that when a Ferris wheel reaches its highest point, couples who make a vow together would have their wish come true. Although... She and Simon could hardly be called a couple, and she knew that whatever wish she made wouldn't come true.But still, people could dream, right? Even if... it was just to fool herself. Just then, Simon's phone rang. Laura noticed it was a call from Hailey, and her eyes dimmed. Simon initially didn't want to answer. But Hailey was persistent, calling again and again. Finally, he picked up the phone. Hailey's panicked voice came through. "Simon, something's wrong! You need to come to the hospital right away! Your mom suddenly fainted. She's at the hospital and needs emergency surgery. You have to sign the consent forms!

Laura playfully glared at Simon before she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck. She kissed him. "Thank you, Simon. I... thought I wouldn't be able to celebrate Valentine's Day. I… envy those who can celebrate it." Simon's heart skipped a beat. Looking at her tear-brimmed eyes, she looked so innocent and endearing. He had the urge to take her right then and there. But the steak had to be eaten while hot, so he restrained himself. His voice was husky and low. "Go wash your hands and eat. Oh, do you like the flowers?" Laura's eyes sparkled and she nodded. "I love them." Then, she ran to the bathroom to wash her hands. Standing before the sink, she looked at her flushed cheeks and covered her warm face with her hands. She took a deep breath, but her heart was bubbling with happiness. Simon knocked on the bathroom door. "Come out quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold." …In the cozy living room, Simon had set the table with steak and red wine. He even lit

Fiona felt that she was becoming reliant on Hailey. She smiled, "Hailey, I owe you this time. If it weren't for you visiting me when I fainted, I might not even be alive right now. I envy your parents. They're so fortunate to have such a wonderful daughter like you." Hailey shook her head. "Why not just take me as your goddaughter, Mrs. Moore?" Fiona shook her head. "Becoming my goddaughter would be unfair to you. A girl as outstanding as you should become part of the Moore family! Tell me, do you still have feelings for Simon?"Hailey blushed. "Even if I do, Simon's heart isn't with me." Fiona corrected her, "Silly child, are you saying Simon's heart is with that sly fox? That's impossible! Simon could never love her, let alone have any future with her!" Hailey asked curiously, "Why not?" Fiona hesitated. She wanted to tell Hailey the truth, but she was worried it might disrupt Simon's plans. Besides, this was their family secret and she couldn't reveal them to Hailey
