Semua Bab Side Chick Era… Over: Bab 1801 - Bab 1810

Since Sharon and Thomas had never had a wedding before, Thomas attached immense importance to this one. He wasn't a man given to overt displays of romance, but he insisted on honoring the essential rituals. After all, Sharon had never worn a wedding dress in her life. He was determined to give her a wedding she would never forget.Thomas drafted a simple plan. To achieve the level of perfection he envisioned, it would take at least six months. Though he longed to marry Sharon as quickly as possible, he refused to rush her or compromise her experience. What others had, Sharon would have. What others lacked, she would have too.Thomas remained by Sharon's side every day, yet his focus had clearly shifted—from watching her every move to planning the wedding. Sharon, having organized weddings before, knew just how meticulous and exhausting the process could be. Even hiring a professional team would save time, but Thomas insisted on being personally involved. He wanted her to have the m

Thomas was a man who handled things efficiently and decisively. Once he had met with Johanna and made everything clear, no amount of fuss on her part would make him see her again. If she angered him, the consequences would fall entirely on her.Sharon knew his character well. After a few seconds of thought, she looked at Loki and said, "Take me to see her."Loki immediately began making arrangements. Sharon headed to Thomas's former office first.She didn't hide anything from him. "Thomas, stay here with Theo. Loki and I are going to see Johanna for a moment."Thomas paused, then turned to look at her. "Don't you want me to come with you?"Sharon shook her head gently. "I'll be fine on my own."He watched her quietly for a moment before nodding. "Alright. I understand."Having notified Thomas, Sharon left with Loki and headed toward Johanna's residence. On the way, Loki explained, "Johanna used to be supervised by Jordan. Ever since her restrictions were lifted, no one has been

Johanna said, "That was the first time I saw Jamie's eyes so fierce and merciless, as if in the next second, he could kill his enemy with his bare hands."She let out a mocking little laugh. "Before that, I always thought Jamie was a very compassionate person."Sharon smiled. "Compassionate? Jamie?"Johanna looked at her steadily. "What's the problem with that? Who says a bad person has to be evil all the time, or a good person never does anything wrong?"There are murderers who give up their seat for the elderly. There are ruthless people to their enemies but fiercely loyal to their own. Life isn't just black or white unless you're born a villain or a saint."Thomas isn't a perfect man, yet you still like him, don't you? You despise Jamie just like Victoria despises Thomas. In essence, it's the same thing."Jamie would hurt someone for Victoria; Thomas would hurt Victoria for you. Whether you're good or bad doesn't matter in their eyes."If you want to kill, Thomas would hand y

Although Loki found it a bit strange, he didn't press the matter. The two of them began walking outside.Perhaps distracted, Sharon misstepped on the stairs and nearly fell. Loki's reflexes were fast, and just as he reached to steady her, a long, pale, elegantly jointed hand moved first, catching her.Sharon lifted her eyes and saw a familiar, handsome face."Thomas." She paused in surprise. "What are you doing here?"He lowered his gaze to her."I was a little worried about you," he said softly. "So I came to check on you."Sharon shook her head gently. "I'm fine. You don't need to worry.""Really?" he murmured.She changed the subject. "What about Theo?""He's being protected by Liam and Doug," Thomas replied.Sharon nodded lightly. "Let's go back, then."Thomas didn't move. Instead, he stared at her, his gaze heavy and unreadable. The hand holding her arm tightened slightly, as if restraining itself.Sharon's lashes quivered. "Thomas…"Loki, sensing the tension, hurried

Sharon stared at Wendy in surprise. "Wendy, don't tell me you're getting into an online romance?"Wendy waved her hands quickly. "No, no, not at all. A while ago, I was out drinking with friends at a bar and met a masked pianist. He played beautifully, and his build and demeanor were outstanding. Someone even offered money to make him take off the mask. Anyway… I just happened to help him out of an awkward situation."Sharon frowned. "A mask? Why was he wearing one?"Wendy explained, "He said he's the heir of a powerful family who ran away from home after rebelling against them over some issues. He can't show his face in public. If people recognize him, his family will drag him back."Sharon found it hard to believe. "So you've never seen what he actually looks like?""No." Wendy replied casually while typing on her phone. "I'm going back to Marcentine in a while anyway. There's no real future between us. Flirting for fun isn't so bad, right?"Sharon said, "Wendy, if you really w
