Diego withdrew his hand nonchalantly and sat back down.Even from a lower position, his aura remained undiminished—if anything, it seemed even more imposing.“It’s fine. You can change bit by bit, as long as you stay by my side.”His thin lips pressed lightly together, his gaze unusually deep. One hand rested on the desk as he studied her steadily.Briella’s pupils dilated slightly, as if she couldn’t quite comprehend his words.Her voice wavered. “Minister… what do you mean by that?”“What do I mean? Just the literal meaning. I need a woman.”He said it flatly, without the slightest ripple of emot

Early that morning, Briella arrived at the Mortensen family estate, black invitation card in hand.She took a long look at the legendary residence, nodding in quiet approval.No wonder they’re the top among the noble families.Unhurried, she stepped up to the grand, antiquated gates.Presenting the card, she watched as the guard inspected it with great care. Once verified, he returned it respectfully with both hands.“This way, Miss. Please wait in the banquet hall. Someone will inform the masters.”Briella nodded without a word and followed the guard through a side path that led to the grand hall.Once alone, she chose a sofa and sat down casually.Before long, a servant approached with a gentle bow. “May I offer you something to drink, Miss?”“I’m not picky. Just bring me any floral tea you prefer,” she replied with effortless poise.The servant nodded and

"Wow, we’ve got a full haul today! Alan, aren’t you happy?"Princess Winona stood proudly, arms behind her back, beaming like a kid who’d won a prize."Happy, happy, so happy."Behind her, Alan waddled along like a tired little penguin.His left hand was loaded with shopping bags. So was his right.Two more hung around his neck.He dropped everything onto the sofa and collapsed next to it, completely spent, gasping for breath.Are all girls this terrifying when they go shopping?Each store took at least an hour! Weren’t all the clothes basically the same?Some she didn’t even try on before buying! That was the scariest part.His usually pale cheeks were flushed red, making him look irresistibly cute.Princess Winona leaned down, palms resting on the couch beside him, and stared quietly at his fac

Penny clung to Connor’s hand like a lifeline, mumbling affectionately and refusing to let go. It took a long time—until her energy gave out—for her to finally fall asleep.Connor gently extracted his hand the moment she quieted, inwardly relieved. Finally, he could be done with this charade.Harvey turned to the door and called his assistant. “Bring in her attending physician.”“Yes, Chairman.”Connor’s brow furrowed slightly, eyes lowered to hide the chill behind them.Mrs. Sawyer, eager to maintain her position, pasted on a flattering smile.“Mr. Ledger, you really care about Penny.
