The next morning.Sunlight peeked into the room as Maria groggily opened her eyes, only to realize she was clinging to Sidney like an octopus.The memories of last night came rushing back like a tide. A cold glint flickered in her eyes as she turned onto her back.Sidney stirred, glanced at her, and said, "Last night..."Maria cut him off, "Last night, someone deliberately set me up."Sidney nodded. "I’ll help you."Maria’s eyelashes fluttered slightly before she suddenly asked, "Why?""What?" Sidney looked momentarily taken aback.Maria fixed her gaze on him, her expression serious and clear. "Why did you stay last night? And now, why are you offering to help me?"Sidney’s face tightened. After a brief pause, he finally said, "You didn’t let me leave last night."Maria blinked, then unexpectedly laughed. She sat up swiftly, straddling his waist."Sidney, you’re lying."Her fingers traced lightly over his chest. "Last night, I told you to stop. So why didn’t you let me go?"At that m

"Why did you do this?" Sidney's gaze remained fixed on Fawn, his confusion still gnawing at him.Tears welled up in Fawn’s eyes as she cried, "It’s her! She’s the one who ruined everything! If it weren’t for her, you would have agreed to marry me! I wouldn’t have to go through with this arranged marriage. I hate her!"Sidney’s frown deepened. "It wasn’t her. She never tried to stop anything. I was the one who didn’t want to marry you.""Why?" Fawn’s voice trembled with disbelief. "Why didn’t you want to marry me? When I proposed it, I saw you hesitate. You were considering it! Why would you change your mind?" She stared at him, convinced he was lying, that he was defending Maria.Sidney released her hand, his tone calm. "I have ambitions, but I’m not willing to sacrifice my marriage for them. It’s as simple as that."Fawn shook her head, her voice almost pleading. "I don’t understand. It would’ve been a fake marriage! Why wouldn’t you agree? How could you not?"Sidney replied firmly,

Sidney's expression faltered slightly before he replied, “Just focus on getting better. I can handle everything else.”“Oh really?” Ruth frowned. “And what about a wife? Can you handle finding one? Are you going to solve that?”Sidney remained silent.Ruth sighed, her tone turning serious. “Sidney, you’re not getting any younger, you know. By the time I was your age, I already had you, and you were running errands for me. It’s time you started thinking about settling down and having a family."With little else to occupy her time in the hospital, Ruth spent her days chatting with other patients. Her roommate, Jackie Warren, already had two grandsons who visited her every evening, lifting her spirits so much that her health had been steadily improving. Right now, Jackie had just gone out for a walk with her grandsons, leaving Ruth feeling envious.Sidney listened quietly, peeling an orange. When he finished, he handed the slices to Ruth.She took the orange but didn’t let up on her co

Sidney pulled out his business card and handed it to Diana. "I currently run an architectural design studio."Diana accepted the card, noticing the name "Starlight Design Studio" printed on it. The card also had Sidney’s contact information, and a smile tugged at her lips as she tucked it away.“I’m currently working in the product development department at Tudor Group,” she said with a hint of pride in her voice.It was hard to get a position at Tudor Group—only the best survived the rigorous rounds of interviews.Sidney gave a slight nod. "Tudor is a good company."Diana looked at him and asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"Sidney, however, replied, "Miss White, we’re here. This is the supermarket."Diana’s brows furrowed slightly at his avoidance of her question. Why didn’t he answer her?Still, she reminded herself not to rush things. If she seemed too eager, he might get the wrong impression about her. So, she decided not to press the matter further.Sidney also went into the stor

The next day, when Sidney arrived at the studio, he noticed a gift box sitting on his desk.Puzzled, he asked, “Where did this come from?”Alex appeared again, grinning. “Ms. Maria brought us all gifts. She’s back.”“Maria’s back?”Sidney was a bit surprised—she’d returned quietly, without any fanfare.He opened the box to find some local specialties from South City, the sweet scent of floral pastries filling the air. His expression softened slightly.Alex, ever the gossip, sidled up next to him. “So, Mr. Troy, how’s it going with that girl? Are you two together yet?”Sidney frowned. “What girl?”“Don’t play dumb. We’ve all seen her—the pretty one who loves wearing floral dresses. Even Ms. Maria knows about her,” Alex said, eyes twinkling with amusement.Sidney’s brows furrowed further. “She only got back yesterday, how could she know?”Alex chuckled. “I told her! She seemed a bit surprised, to be honest.”Sidney paused, then asked, “Did she say anything?”Alex thought for a moment. “S
