"Fine, then you can make the rules. From now on, in our house, everything goes by your word." Michael immediately surrendered."What? I don't understand anything you're saying! Last night… I don't remember any of it…"Winnie's face flamed even redder, and she chose to deny it all outright.But no sooner had the words left her mouth than his hand grabbed her waist from behind.Winnie flinched, almost flinging the spatula in her hand."Michael!""It's fine. You don't remember, but I remember perfectly."Michael leaned close from behind, hands braced on the edge of the counter. His lips brushed her ear as he spoke slowly, deliberately, "You said last night… that from now on… I have to hold you every night while you sleep.""I never said that!" Winnie's hand trembled, and she whirled around.Her eyes locked on his face, smiling faintly, and her heart skipped a beat."You don't remember?" Michael teased lightly."You—""It doesn't matter. I already know your intentions. Even if

Michael was used to lightly seasoned, healthy meals. It wasn't that he was picky—it was just that he truly couldn't get used to the heavy flavors of takeout food."You're going to cook for me?" Hearing Winnie say this, his face lit up. "Isn't that too much trouble for you?""It's fine. I'll cook for you, and you can cook for me too," Winnie said calmly."Okay," Michael nodded, his eyes full of anticipation, as if she had just promised him something incredible.Winnie lowered her head. She had steeled herself mentally, but barely a few steps into reality, the weight of the situation hit her.She hadn't answered the calls from Mr. and Mrs. Olson, who had been messaging her all day, urging her to divorce Michael and come back home. Otherwise, they warned, Michael would suffer, and even if she left the Olson family, she would end up sharing the hardship—both sides losing, and all for nothing.Winnie knew they didn't really want her to leave; they wanted to keep her under control. Tho

Khloe couldn't understand how Nick could, in his current situation, still have time to worry about anyone else.Nick was slightly unhappy by Khloe's remark and cleared his throat twice.Khloe immediately turned, placing a hand over his chest. "Are you feeling unwell?""No." Nick turned his face away, his voice carrying a faint chill.His mood was easy to read, and Khloe instantly knew he was being sensitive again."You're perfect in almost every way, but you're far too petty," she teased gently, pinching his cheek with a coaxing smile. "I already told you—we'll go for a full checkup once all this is over. You get checked, I get checked. No hiding anything from each other. Deal?"Only then did Nick turn his head fully, his gaze heavy as he looked at her. "Do you promise?""I promise." Khloe held up three fingers. "I swear it in my father's name."Mentioning Niel caused the atmosphere between them to stiffen for a brief moment.Nick held her hand, their fingers interlaced. "Good

George explained that he had felt guilt toward the last friend who survived the incident, so he had given him a substantial sum to change his identity and move abroad, ensuring he would never have to worry about food or shelter again.But the friend's resentment ran deep. Nothing was ever enough. He repeatedly threatened George, demanding favors. At first, George, out of old loyalty, tried to accommodate him wherever possible.Over time, however, the demands grew excessive, eventually crossing into risky and illegal territory. When George firmly refused, their relationship broke completely.The friend then attempted to dredge up the past accident to tarnish George's reputation. George was prepared to shoulder responsibility, but the accidents had long been compensated, and years had passed. Beyond stirring a temporary wave of criticism against George's character, the events had almost no impact on the Hunt family.The last remnants of their bond were gone.Later, George learned th

"That makes things difficult."That Clarice had suddenly shifted the blame for Niel's death onto George, it was highly likely that Rick had reached her. Otherwise, Clarice wouldn't have waited until now to act—she would have long ago swayed Henry to prevent the union between the two families."The key point now is Rick. That accident wasn't a mishap—it was deliberate. No one else could have done it. He knew the factory inside out, and only he could have created a leak in such a tightly controlled facility. But without concrete evidence, George will remain under suspicion."Arista's voice carried her worry.Even if they explained everything to Henry in painstaking detail, the testimony would only come from the primary parties, which is always disputable. When George had hosted the trade conference, it had been to quell public opinion. Many attendees were his rivals or media figures who had leverage over his past misdeeds.Clarice had already framed George's motives: he was allegedl
