After Ian and Jeremy left, Megan stayed a little longer. She mainly wanted to get to know Gideon a little. After a short chat, she realized that he was indeed cold by nature but wasn't the arrogant kind. He was very polite to her, so much so that it made her feel flattered.It didn't take long for her to figure out that the reason behind the politeness was basically his way of telling her to treat Phoebe well. As someone who positioned herself on Phoebe's team, this only made Megan more satisfied with Gideon."Alright, alright. I've got to get home to deal with my kid. Ms. Stanton had a bit of a rough time, so I'm counting on you to take good care of her, Mr. Blackwood. If she shows up at the office tomorrow in a bad mood, we poor employees are gonna suffer." Megan spoke jokingly, but it was clear that she was standing up for Phoebe.Phoebe got that. As she personally walked Megan out, she said sincerely, "Thanks for earlier, Megan."Megan waved it off. "It's nothing. Now, I can re

Phoebe pointed at Gideon and warned, "Don't you dare make fun of me."Her tone was meant to be stern, but she was in such a good mood that it came out more like a playful whine. That only made her face turn redder.Gideon didn't say a single word. He just pulled her close and lowered his head to seal her lips with his. The kiss was wild, and they tumbled all the way to the couch.She ended up pinned beneath him. She could clearly feel him losing control, which only thrilled her more. So, he really did have a weakness for her acting cutesy.His hand slid under the hem of her shirt. He kneaded and pressed; his grip wasn't exactly gentle. His lips brushed her ear as he murmured, voice low and rough, "Can I kiss you there?"Phoebe's eyes flew open when she heard how deep his voice had gone. His gaze was so scorching that it made her whole body go weak. She cupped his face, her fingertip tracing over his lips. She liked Gideon—really liked him. And so, even though she was scared, she c

Gideon fell silent for a beat. Then, he took Phoebe's hand and pulled her up from the couch. "Are you really going to be this bad to me?"Phoebe shot back, "Yes, I am!"He grabbed her other hand and slid them both around him to rest behind his waist, taking the chance to wrap his arms around her as well. He slowly stroked her back in a blatant invitation. "Come on, then. Show me just how bad you can be."Her skin was nowhere near as thick as his. The fact that someone normally so proper was suddenly saying such shameless things made it even harder to handle. She buried her face in his chest and pinched his back.He chuckled and just held her for a while. "I can't bear to leave you. Don't kick me out, okay?"She burrowed even deeper against him. After a moment, she lifted her head. "Bend down."He obediently dipped his head.Phoebe cupped Gideon's face in both hands, her gaze dropping to his lips. She rose on tiptoe and kissed his soft lips. Whenever they were pressed against her

Laura still found herself instinctively thinking of Phoebe as Connor's wife. And when she accidentally addressed Phoebe as "Mrs. Russell", Connor had never corrected her.She tried her best to catch herself, though.What puzzled her most was how, after the divorce, Connor's food preferences became less extreme. He used to be super picky, but he now puts up with anything that wasn't downright horrible.Of course, anything that was expected of Laura, she still needed to do. Connor was in the study; she made him a cup of tea.When she pushed the door open, she found him turning a beautiful pine-tree glass over in his hands. It jogged her memory at once. It was the glass Phoebe had smashed in two. Connor had sent it for restoration and now kept it here in his study.He only noticed Laura when she set the tea on his desk. He frowned. "Why didn't you knock?""I-I did," she stammered.His frown deepened, and his expression darkened. He set the glass down and picked up the teacup instea

Beyond the misery, Dahlia simmered with rage, desperate to take it out on someone. In her head, she ran through at least dozens of people she didn't get along with, from every possible circle. But none of them felt right. None of them would do the job.Because the real culprit was Phoebe. If she hadn't stirred things up at Russell Manor, Dahlia wouldn't be in this mess. She wouldn't have gone through all this suffering.But the way Phoebe had stood her ground against Amelia and Connor that day, the way she'd kept calm and unflinching when speaking to Philip… Those were things Dahlia simply couldn't do.The moment Dahlia realized that Phoebe outmatched her in certain ways, she became different in Dahlia's eyes. She was no longer that easygoing sister-in-law who never fought for anything.Dahlia didn't look down on Phoebe as much as she used to anymore. She was even starting to fear her a little. And with Gideon backing Phoebe up, Dahlia didn't dare act against her anymore.She inwa
