Michael did not know how to explain himself. He was genuinely nervous, afraid that Winnie would think he was trying to cling to her again.But when she heard him repeatedly emphasize the word "misunderstanding," her heart went completely cold.Michael quickly changed the subject and asked about what she had not finished saying earlier.Winnie smiled wryly. "There's another way too… I can get married."Michael's pupils trembled slightly. His lips parted, but before he could speak, Winnie patted his arm again."So, could I trouble you to keep an eye out for me? See if there's anyone suitable and introduce me for a blind date or two?"My standards aren't high. Just one thing—he needs to have some standing in Goldmont, at least someone the Olson family can't push around."She said it with a smile, but every word was icy, like hailstones pounding against Michael's heart.He hesitated, as if only now understanding. "So all this time, you've been dating people… for the sake of marriag

Khloe immediately called Mr. Olson.She knew Winnie's situation well. Even if Michael hadn't asked her to step in, she would have contacted the Olson family anyway.Ethan and Winnie had clashed head-on at the company, causing a huge uproar. The Olson family would very likely seize this chance to make things difficult for Winnie.What Khloe had nearly forgotten was Clarice.In fact, Winnie had already offended Clarice once because of Michael.Khloe carefully explained the entire sequence of events to the Olson family.Of course, she wasn't trying to make them view Winnie in a better light. Instead, she framed Winnie's actions as "not a fault but a merit," cutting off their excuse to discipline her.Between the lines, Khloe applied pressure. She began politely, then turned firm, abandoning her usual courtesy.Morrison Group had long since changed hands.Anyone under Khloe's authority could not be dealt with casually—even Clarice, let alone the Olson family.When the Olsons had

Nick shamelessly saved the best photo Khloe had taken and replaced the landscape picture he'd casually snapped years ago as his wallpaper.Before meeting Khloe, Nick had also loved scenery. Whenever he needed to unwind, he would steal bits of time to visit beautiful places and record them—recording that he was still alive.The world was beautiful, but when he looked at it, there was appreciation without true stir of the heart. Only after seeing it through Khloe's eyes did those endless miles of splendor seem to gain a soul, suddenly tender and alive.The dishes were served slowly. By the time they finished, nearly two hours had passed, and the evening glow had spread across the sky, dyeing all four walls of glass in blazing color.The entire restaurant turned orange-red.Khloe let out a soft cry and immediately pulled Nick by the hand to watch the sunset.They sat side by side on the window-side viewing cushions. Nick had booked the entire Sky Tower for the day, so the two of the

One of the men lowered his head slightly. "Nick, don't be nervous. We just happened to run into you and wanted to say hello. After all, you're the son of an old acquaintance. It would be impolite not to greet you…""Keep your distance!"Nick's bodyguards were all retired mercenaries, highly trained and sharply alert. The moment the men so much as crossed a line, the alarm would have been raised.If Nick had not remained silent, the two of them would already have been pinned down and taken away."Heh."Seeing how tightly guarded Nick was, the two men had no choice but to step back a little."Nick, no need to be tense. Please help us pass along a message to George. Tell him… his old friends still think of him often."At those words, Nick's gaze snapped sideways. The two men chuckled softly, then turned and walked away.A bodyguard asked for instructions, "Should we follow them and find out who they are?""Record the license plate," Nick said.When the window rolled up, worry fi

Nick analyzed the consequences with painstaking care—but in all the scenarios he imagined, as long as Khloe came through unscathed, he felt no fear, no regret.Khloe's chest tightened, a mixture of gratitude and anger rising in her. "What if you… if you get hurt while protecting me?"Even imagining the possibility made her chest ache. She could still see the mountainside, the peril, the way her heart had stopped—she would never, ever go through that again. One near-loss was enough."I won't get hurt."Nick understood her thoughts before she could finish speaking. He didn't wait for her protests, instead starting to soothe her, brushing her cheek and neck with gentle kisses and tender caresses.But Khloe wasn't in the mood.She pushed him back slightly. "How can you say you won't get hurt? Do you think you're made of steel? Even steel breaks when the sky falls… didn't you almost die saving someone?"He had risked everything for that little girl. If he had… if he had truly given h
