Willow raised her glass and looked at Talia next to her. "Talia, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you the truth this afternoon when I invited you over for dinner."In all honesty, I just wanted to apologize to you. I felt terrible about the incident last time that got you and Felix into trouble with the police. But I didn't want either of you to hold a grudge against the other."You're my best friend, and he's my lover, after all."Talia didn't reply to her. She just looked at Felix, who had also raised his glass. However, he was obviously distracted and probably didn't even hear a single word Willow said.When Willow saw that Talia was still staying silent, she threw her head back and finished the wine in her glass.Afterward, she turned to Talia and said, "Talia, will you forgive me?"Talia looked at her, feeling both sorry for her and frustrated with her. "Okay."Willow smiled. She then nudged Felix next to her and gestured for him to clink glasses with Talia. He obviously didn

Talia turned around and saw Willow standing under a tree. She asked, "You're still here?""I was waiting for you," Willow replied.Talia walked over to her and said expressionlessly, "What is it? Go straight to the point."Willow could tell that Talia was being cold to her, but she still said, "I just asked Felix just now, and he said that you saw him talking to another woman and asking her for her number. "But he's just asking for her number, Talia. That doesn't mean that he'll do anything. If you had really hit him just now, it would've been humiliating for him. He's a man, after all, and has a reputation to uphold. You—"Talia read between the lines. She sharply asked, "You think that I'm in the wrong?"Willow quickly explained, "I didn't mean that, Talia. I know you're just looking out for me, but he's my future husband, and you're my best friend. I don't want you both to have a misunderstanding like this."A misunderstanding?Talia felt frustrated. She curtly remarked, "I

It was obvious that Christian didn't want to continue the topic any longer. He simply asked quietly, "What do you want to eat?"Nancy shook her head and said, "I'm fine with anything.""Okay." Christian then told Julian to order some grilled oysters for Nancy, as they were her favorite. However, she wasn't in the mood for it anymore.She pulled her chair closer to Christian and leaned against his arm. "Chris, are you mad?"Christian looked down at her and smiled handsomely. "Not exactly."It was true that Talia's words had upset him, but he wasn't exactly driven to anger by them. He just didn't like how insulting they sounded.Nancy leaned her head against Christian's arm when she heard his response. "That's good to hear."Right at that moment, Julian finished ordering the food. After returning the menu to the waiter, he immediately caught sight of Christian and Nancy being affectionate with each other in the corner and felt envious of them both."Chris, are you really not plan

Talia shook her head. "N-No, I—"However, Quentin interrupted her before she could say another word. "In that case, that only means that the bracelet wasn't expensive enough for you to like it. Coincidentally, there's an auction tomorrow, so I'll just go there and get another more expensive one for you."Talia panicked. "No, Quentin. Don't—"Before she could tell him not to do that, Quentin's expression turned icy as he said, "If you don't wear the bracelet, I will send you a more expensive piece of jewelry the next day, and the next, until you finally put it on."When Talia realized what Quentin was doing, she purposely tried to make him mad and said, "It's not my money anyway, so I won't feel sorry for you. I don't care how much money you spend on them! I've already told you I won't wear them—and that means I'll never wear them!"Quentin just chuckled and said, "It's good that you don't feel sorry for me. The only reason I'm making all this money is to spend it on you. If you do

The comment read, "I've met Dr. Rowe before. He helped remove the brain tumor from my mother. It's been two years since her surgery, and everything is still going well for her. Dr. Rowe was also very friendly and likable."He refused to take any gifts from me, and even when I insisted on tipping him, he returned them all. He told me to use the money to buy supplements for my mother instead!"Talia read the comment and wanted to reply. However, just as she tapped onto the "reply" button, the comment suddenly vanished, and the line "This comment has been removed" appeared instead.She tried searching for the username she'd managed to glimpse before the comment disappeared, but when she found the account, she saw that it had been banned and restricted.Talia didn't even have to think about who could've done such a thing—Julian was immediately at the top of her suspect list.Since Christian was busy entertaining his lover, he naturally wouldn't have any spare time to waste on Talia an
