Julissa instinctively looked into the distance.Scott was standing there, waiting for her.Tall, handsome, exuding an air of steadiness and reliability—he was the kind of man one could trust. She simply couldn't imagine him with another woman… let alone a stranger from a casual encounter.But what right did she have to mind his past?Before meeting him, hadn’t she also spent a night with a stranger?That, too, could be considered a one-night stand.Julissa lowered her head. “Are you done talking?”Liam grasped her shoulders, his gaze growing more earnest.“That happened before he met you, but it proves that he’s not who you think he is. Otherwise, why would he casually take a woman to a hotel? That’s just the one incident I found—what about the ones I didn’t?“He’s the president of the Nichols Group, the eldest son of the Nichols family. With his status, how many women would throw themselves at him? Do you really think he’s never been tempted? You don’t see any scandals about him—mayb

Scott was briefly stunned. "Thinking about what?"Julissa wanted to ask him—how many women had he been with before? How many relationships had he had? Or, if she refused to move in with him, would he eventually break up with her?But those questions felt petty. No matter how he answered, she would end up feeling bad.If he said he’d never been with any woman before—would she believe him?If he admitted he had been with a few, wouldn’t that just make her feel worse?And the question about whether he’d break up with her if they didn’t live together—that was completely off-limits. He’d definitely just look at her and ask, What kind of man do you think I am?So in the end, she decided to say nothing at all.“It’s nothing. Liam just warned me that you might be a scumbag. He’s afraid I’ll get hurt.”Her tone hesitated for a moment before she quickly added, “Of course, I don’t believe him at all!”Scott narrowed his eyes. “Then why did you spend so long thinking about it?”Julissa was just a

Julissa walked through the midnight streets, the cold wind howling around her, but her heart was full of hope.As long as she was heading toward Scott, the distance didn’t seem to matter.She imagined the moment she would see him—he would surely give her a warm hug, offer her a clean and cozy room, and tell her, Stay as long as you want. It’s okay. Don’t be afraid. I’m here.Just thinking about it made her smile.She passed by people coming home from late-night shifts, hurrying along the streets.She, too, was heading home—or at least, that’s what it felt like.Along the way, she saw stray cats gathered around garbage bins.Thinking of the little white kitten Anna had adopted, she suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for these poor creatures. She wanted to take one with her.But considering that she was already imposing on Scott—boyfriend or not, there were limits—she decided against showing up at his doorstep with a stray cat in tow.Still, she wondered—if they ever lived together, would

As soon as Julissa got close to him, she didn’t want to think about anything else. She wasn’t being stubborn anymore, nor was she afraid. She reached up and wrapped her arms around Scott’s waist.“Can you stop being mad at me? I’m already so tired. To come find you, my legs feel like they’re going to break.”“You could’ve avoided walking yourself to the point of exhaustion!”Though Scott was still scolding her, his tone had softened, and there was a hint of tenderness in his voice.Seeing his little girlfriend, so pitifully snuggling into his arms, even someone with a heart made of stone would start to feel warmth.Scott finally patted her shoulder and sighed. “I’m happy that you came to find me, but I’m angry because I’m worried about you.”Julissa lifted her head. Her eyes were red from crying, but they were also sparkling. Just because of his one sentence, she felt like all the sadness had been washed away in an instant.Scott suddenly thought of his little Corgi.Since he and his

Scott looked at his little girlfriend’s expression and narrowed his eyes.She wasn’t upset because he scolded her earlier; it was because he hadn’t contacted her these past couple of days.But Julissa wasn’t clingy, at least not yet.They had only been dating for a month, and it was supposed to be the honeymoon phase, yet she didn’t text or call him every day. Sometimes, when he got busy and couldn’t go to the hospital, he would only visit her after two days. Julissa never asked him why he hadn’t contacted her in those two days or why he hadn’t come to see her.Scott could understand it as her being sensible and not wanting to interrupt his work, but he had still wondered—did this ungrateful little thing miss him at all? Did she even care about him as her boyfriend?Now, suddenly, she was questioning him.Was it because she saw Yvette at his house? Was she jealous? Did she think that because he hadn’t contacted her these last couple of days, he was secretly spending time with another
