Calvin’s home was in the middle of a high-rise building, occupying the top floor. With no buildings in front of it, he never had to worry about prying eyes, even with the windows open. The unobstructed view and luxurious living space made it an excellent place to reside.With two floors to himself and at least a thousand square feet per floor, Adriana couldn’t help but wonder if he had ever played basketball in the living room.Not only was it spacious, but the Scandinavian-style decor was also meticulous—minimalist, refreshing, and distinctly cold. As soon as she stepped inside, she felt the temperature drop a few degrees. It must be an ideal retreat during the summer heat.After quickly scanning the house’s furnishings, Adriana asked, "Where’s the medical kit?"Calvin strode into the living room and sank into the center of a long, straight couch. "Upstairs, storage room—shelf to the right of the restroom."A spiral staircase led to the second floor, with hollow bookshelves lining th

This scene was too easy to evoke a charming reverie. Even without doing anything, her hands were already dripping with water. What’s more, right in front of her, Calvin stood wearing nothing but his pants. He was like an open-screen peacock.Calvin said, “Wash it for me.”Adriana’s gaze flickered between the bathtub and him in a two-point sweep. “I am sorry, Mr. Calvin, but I am not some bathhouse attendant. I don’t provide this service.”Calvin took her hand and placed it on his belt. “Open it.”‘Damn it! Did he not understand human language? Why did he act as if he were blocking her words?’Adriana curled her fingers stubbornly and said, word by word, “Don’t force me.”Calvin arched a brow. “See for yourself. Can this belt be undone with one hand?”Adriana hesitated before glancing down. Indeed, the belt had a slot-style buckle that required both hands to unfasten before it could be pulled out. It really wasn’t something that could be done with just one hand.Her fingers fumbled awk

Placing the medicine bottle back in its place, Adriana couldn’t help but wonder.Calvin has such a strong heart, and he’s always the one bullying and cursing others. Who could possibly put pressure on him?Could it be Grand Empire or something like that? The Walker family had a vast number of personnel, and currently, the chairman of Grand Empire was George. Although Calvin held the position of president, whether he could ascend to the top of the pyramid still depended on George’s intentions.His uncles, cousins, and countless others were all eyeing his position.As for depression…Calvin gave her life-coaching lectures every day—couldn’t he give one to himself?Lost in thought, Adriana made her way downstairs. Still stuck in her pie-in-the-sky brainstorming, she accidentally kicked the leg of the table and stumbled back in pain.From the moment she came downstairs, Calvin noticed her absentmindedness, as if she had left her brain somewhere else. “What are you thinking about?”Adriana

As Calvin changed his clothes, he didn’t bother with cufflinks and casually rolled up his shirt sleeves, exposing his sturdy, well-proportioned forearms. While rolling up his left sleeve, he naturally extended his right arm and said, “Help me fold this.”Adriana had just picked up yesterday’s washed clothes. Glancing at his outstretched arm, she chuckled. “Your girlfriend is waiting downstairs. Shouldn’t you give her a chance to show concern? Injuries like yours are perfect for stirring a woman’s heartache—and bringing the two of you closer.”Calvin replied, “You watched me get injured last night and saw everything since. Did that bring us any closer?”Adriana choked for a second before retorting, “I was talking about a boyfriend and girlfriend, not business partners.”Calvin scoffed, full of disdain. As he looked down at Adriana rolling up his sleeves, his gaze lingered on her hands—slender and clean, with neatly trimmed, translucent nails left unpainted, revealing a natural, healthy

Two women addicted to fighting didn’t know that Calvin, afraid of them clashing outside the door, had already gone to watch the battle unfold. Every word of their conversation—he heard it all, not missing a single detail.He knew in his heart how much of Adriana’s words were true and how much were false.Even so, when he heard her say, “Mrs. Walker’s throne is hanging in the air; who can claim it, we shall see,” the corners of his mouth betrayed him, curling upward into a faint smile.This woman—only when quarreling or fighting with Anna would she dare to put her name together with his.As for the supposed feeling of how she felt. He’d like to ask himself how, exactly, she was felt with him?****Back at home, Adriana sat brooding, anger simmering beneath the surface.She was furious—furious at herself for agreeing to cooperate with Calvin once again.Furious at her lack of
