So Gregory had found out.A flicker of guilt crossed Anathea's eyes.Yes, that box cutter wasn't real. It was just a plastic toy. She valued her life too much to risk it in a deadly game with him.But now that Gregory had uncovered the truth, she felt exposed and uncertain.She pressed her lips together, and her palms turned sweaty. Yet her gaze stayed firm, almost like she'd accepted whatever came next.It was as if she was silently saying, "Yeah, it's fake. I was bluffing. Now that you've caught me, do what you want."Gregory stared at her for a long moment, then sighed. His voice was rough with a hint of helplessness as he said, "Anathea, you're just taking advantage of the fact that I love you."Anathea froze, a complicated wave of emotion washing over her.Who would have thought those words would come out of Gregory's mouth one day?So many thoughts flooded her mind, but still she said nothing. She looked away, avoiding his gaze.Gregory didn't get an answer. But when he

Why did Gregory bother with being so considerate of Anathea when he used to be so distant and apathetic toward her? He'd been so cold and indifferent that she could set herself on fire and hug him, and it still wouldn't have melted his icy facade. In the end, she would only end up hurt and frostbitten.She didn't want her soul to wither away, leaving behind only a pathetic husk of a body, all for the sake of a so-called one-sided love. It was why she'd chosen to cut things off with Gregory in the first place.And yet, Gregory's current behavior baffled her. He seemed different from the man she remembered. Sure, he was still overbearing, but everything else about him made him a stranger in Anathea's eyes, and it left her feeling helpless.He was more gentle and thoughtful now. He'd changed, and much like a wisp of wind or a droplet of water, he crept through the cracks of Anathea's heart. She couldn't shut him out even if she tried.The feeling terrified her, and her already-dam

"Answers?" Louie cast a questioning look at Cyrus. "Do you know what he's talking about?"Cyrus simply flashed Louie a polite smile and shook his head. When Louie thought he smelled something burning from the kitchen, he quickly returned to the stove with the ladle in hand and stirred the fish stew, muttering, "Weirdo."…No sooner had Gregory arrived at Sinclair Group than Martin stepped forward to greet him respectfully, "Mr. Sinclair, the rescue team is here as you requested."Gregory gave a curt nod and stopped before the five members of the rescue team. His gaze swept over them before he asked coldly, "I trust that Martin has already told you my purpose when he reached out to you."Intimidated by Gregory, the members of the rescue team exchanged a look and gulped silently. "Y-Yes."Gregory fished out his phone and set the timer to 15 minutes. "I've got a stew cooking back home, so we're running on precious time here. You have 15 minutes to tell me, in your most concise wor

"Who else?" Anathea glanced at the fish slices in the bowl. They'd been thoroughly cleaned beforehand and sliced into even, thin pieces; it was obvious the chef had put a lot of thought and effort into preparing the dish.But the next second, she sensed Gregory's aggrieved stare on her, as if accusing her of being a heartless, ignorant woman. She paused and turned to him, surprised. "What, you made this?"When did Gregory learn how to slice fish?"That's not the point." Gregory cleared his throat and asked stiffly, "Is it good?"Anathea took in his stoic stance as he stood like a grade-schooler waiting to get his test back from his teacher. A faint smile curved her lips, and she took another mouthful of the fish stew before delivering a fitting response. "It tastes alright."Gregory had been so anxious to hear Anathea's judgment that his lips were pressed into a tight line. Now that he had her answer, he sighed in relief and said, "Have some more then."Anathea dipped her hea

Anathea didn't remember telling Evangeline what had happened to her. She wondered if Gregory had briefed Evangeline on her behalf, but she didn't press Evangeline for answers and instead called Hannah.After Gregory brought Anathea home that morning, she had no idea how Hannah and Chloe were doing.Hannah didn't pick up until about a dozen rings later. Her voice sounded on the other line. "Is everything alright, Thea?""I'm sorry I didn't call you sooner. Are you and Chloe okay?" Anathea asked, worried that Gregory might have flown into a rage and lashed out at Hannah and Chloe for helping her escape. "Did Gregory give you and Chloe a hard time?""No, Chloe and I are fine, don't worry," Hannah reassured her."Thank goodness," Anathea replied with a sigh of relief."If everything's fine, I'll hang up now." With that, Hannah ended the call.Anathea was a little taken aback by how quickly and abruptly Hannah hung up on her.Meanwhile, Hannah set her phone down and shielded Chloe,
