Cassian quietly stepped out of Tessa’s room. “Sorry about that—she fell asleep.”Lena guessed as much. “Her love for naps hasn’t changed one bit since she was a kid.”He sighed. “Exactly. I told her to finish just two pages of homework, and not even an hour later, she passed out at her desk.”Lena chuckled. “See? You do spoil her.”“What can I do? She’s my only sister.” He shook his head with a helpless smile. “Next time, I’ll invite you over earlier and cook for you to make up for tonight.”Lena’s eyes lit up. “Really? You better tell me in advance then, so I can skip dinner the day before!”

Lena ignored the architect's puzzled look. After carefully studying the drawing, she looked up and said, “This design is solid, no doubt. But I do have a question—when designing this linear layout, did you take the impact of wind direction and sunlight on the residents into account? Considering we’re by the seaside, it’s a crucial factor.”The two architects froze, seemingly caught off guard. Lena's focused gaze bore into them, prompting a response after a brief pause. One of them replied, “We’re addressing it by enhancing window sealing. As for the wind direction…”The other quickly added, “We’ll reassess the building’s orientation to see if adjustments are needed.”Lena nodded slightly before pointing out, “Another thing—I n

Her back pressed against his rising and falling chest, and even through the fabric, she could feel the heat emanating from his legs, now supporting her seated on his lap.Her breath hitched, and a gravelly voice murmured by her ear, “Be honest, were you thinking about sleeping with me?”The words were nearly the same as before, but the tone was completely different. The air had shifted. Lena’s heart pounded chaotically. She

Although Jade could only grab a quick meal with Alaric today, she felt an unexpected sense of satisfaction. In just an hour, her inbox was flooded with private messages: "Having dinner with which handsome guy？ huh?""The hand across from you radiates serious sexual tension!""Don't think we can't figure out who he is just because you only showed his hand. That limited-edition watch narrows it down to a handful of people in the entire country.""Who's the lucky guy who caught the attention of our beauty?""Sneaking a boyfriend and not telling us?" Jade chuckled to herself, feeling a boost to her ego. She decid

Elise rested her chin on her hand, analyzing calmly, "This is serious. I mean, come on, your two—uh, I mean, they—can't just call the first time an accident. Having a second time means the first time must've been great. Physically, they're a match. That’s rare. So what's the problem?"Lena sheepishly rubbed her nose.
