Khloe felt like crying without tears, her eyes brimming with apology as she looked at him. "I overslept… Do you think the people at the Royal Palace are upset?""It's fine," Nick said. "I already negotiated with them this morning. The shoot's been postponed until the afternoon, or at worst, we can push it a day. We'll cover any overtime costs."Seeing her rare flustered expression, he couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her cheek."This is really bad… It's all my fault for not waking up…" Khloe's guilt weighed heavily on her. They were shooting at the Royal Palace, of all places! She couldn't believe she'd dropped the ball here—it felt like a mortal crime.Nick traced her ear with his fingertip. "It's my fault for not waking you. I turned off the alarm.""The morning session was planned to catch the best light," he explained. "But sleeplessness is special. The Palace staff wouldn't want the model showing up with dark circles and exhausted. They'd rather reschedule than co

Nick was unusually obedient. Whatever Khloe offered him to eat, he took without a single question."You haven't eaten much today, have you?"Khloe recalled mealtime. He had barely touched anything, and worry tugged at her again."Not feeling hungry?" she asked softly."Mm… it's late. I'm not very hungry," Nick replied, avoiding her gaze.He stretched his arms, intending to return to the room to change, but Khloe seemed to sense something and stepped close, matching his pace."Are you…?"She stopped him, standing on tiptoe. Her hands cupped his face as she leaned in, scrutinizing him carefully.His features were sharp and sculpted, even more so up close. But those ocean-deep eyes held a layer of exhaustion that made her heart ache."Khloe…""You've lost weight?" she whispered, tilting her head.Nick froze for a moment, then a surge of tenderness overtook him. Without thinking, he swept her up, wrapping his arms around her waist.With a faint gasp from Khloe, he carried her e

At that moment, Nick opened his eyes, catching Khloe staring at him unwaveringly, a small, gentle smile curving her lips."I've made my wish," he said.Khloe returned his smile, carefully tucking the instant photo into her bag. She then turned to the two red ribbons swaying in the wind and pressed her hands together in a solemn bow.On the drive back, Khloe finally revealed the photo she had secretly taken to Nick, as if showing a treasured gem. The composition was exquisite, and Nick, in the frame, outshone even the majestic tree.She couldn't help but admire it again and again, thinking she could probably win a photography award with this single shot. Even all the photos they had taken at the palace that day couldn't compare in her mind.As dusk softened the cityscape, golden light filtered through the car window, illuminating the planes of his face."You took this? Then of course it's the best," Nick said in a low voice.He reached to take it, but Khloe refused. "I'm keeping

"I am the mother of your child. I am your wife," Angela said."You're not anymore." Trey's words were sharp and cold. He yanked her arms away with a forceful motion.But somehow, the sudden pull only sent Angela's slender body crashing against him. Ignoring the pain, she pressed her hands to his head and kissed him fiercely.The struggle and sounds carried to Alicia and Stanley, who were nearby.Alicia rose, intending to check, but Stanley quickly held her back.It was only after a long while that the two emerged. Alicia's eyes immediately caught the marks on their necks, and she raised a brow at Stanley."Trey, you've been exhausted for days. Why don't you rest here today? I've prepared the guest room—it's very comfortable."Stanley urged quickly, glancing at Angela.Sure enough, she said nothing. Trey and Angela's relationship needed thawing, and Stanley and Alicia acting as intermediaries could help smooth things over.Angela rubbed her sore shoulders, carefully observing T

In truth, Angela didn't need to worry about any of this herself. Barney had already finalized everything with the team; her presence was merely a formality, a pretext for communication.After the meeting ended, Barney asked about Angela's family situation.Since that night when Barney had confessed his feelings, Angela's gaze toward him had grown evasive. Answering personal questions was no longer as straightforward as before. She thought for a moment before replying, "The funeral matters are settled, but there are still some things at home to handle. I might need to stay in Goldmont a few more days."Today, Angela was in surprisingly good spirits. She had expected to return empty-handed, yet so quickly, she had managed to reconcile with Trey.Although he hadn't mentioned divorce, she believed that with enough patience, there was no reason he wouldn't come back to her.Angela wasn't about to let this slow her career either. She had considered all options—splitting her time betwe
