Morning came. Sunlight filtered softly through the curtains, spilling warmth into the room.Chase woke up refreshed but lazy, unwilling to move. He turned to look at the woman beside him.She lay with her head on his arm, sleeping peacefully like a little child, curled into his protective embrace.He reached out, gently stroking her hair, inhaling her fragrant scent.Harper slowly opened her eyes.“Up so early…”Chase pouted and pressed a quick morning kiss to her lips.“Sleep like a pig, that’s who,” he teased.She, still half-asleep, blinked in shock at his sudden closeness, all her grogginess vanishing instantly.Blushing, she shrank into the blanket, revealing only half her face.Even though her period had arrived, she had stayed the night to keep him ‘company’ as a small gesture of compensation.Her cheeks glowed a bright, translucent red.“

Fortunately, the drive was short.When they arrived at GG Group, the employees were startled to see their long-absent CEO suddenly appear.Soon, department managers lined up outside the president’s office, each waiting to give their reports.Harper returned to her desk, about to dive into her own work, when Chase tapped her table lightly.“You’ll be taking notes for me today.”“Isn’t that the secretary’s job?” she asked, puzzled.“I just want you,” he said with a mischievous smile. “I like having you where I can see you.”Harper: “…”Ever since his hospital stay, this man’s personality had completely changed. She could only sigh and go along with it.The morning was packed with intense meetings—department heads came one after another to report major decisions.One of them was the PR manager, who had come

The press conference was set in the GG Group’s multifunctional conference room.Though the scale wasn’t large, it still attracted attention from many sectors.Naturally, Avery was present.She looked as radiant as ever, wearing a low-key yet luxurious white sleeveless dress that perfectly showcased her tall, elegant figure.The moment she appeared, all cameras turned to her. The sound of shutters clicked endlessly.Avery basked in the attention, every movement as graceful as a top international model.Her features and deep, piercing eyes made her incredibly photogenic, and even casual gestures became talking points for the crowd.To stand out, she wore a ring set with over thirty pink diamonds.Pink diamonds…Harper’s mind stirred. She couldn’t help but recall the expensive necklace her grandmother had given her…But her thoughts were quickly interrupted as Avery approached Ha

Belvia Medical InstituteAfter a few days, news about Mr. Chase Gallagher and his wife’s affection was spreading everywhere. By now, practically everyone in Belvia City knew about their registered marriage.Harper stepped out of the car looking utterly miserable, glancing back over her shoulder as if hoping for an escape route. She had never been so unwilling to come to the institute, but she needed to submit her report papers today—and this was the first time she’d managed to slip free from Chase’s grasp.Sure, everyone at the hospital already knew about their relationship.But her university…She could already picture what was waiting for her: her juniors—die-hard fans of Mr. Chase Gallagher.Ugh.Her mind spun with panic scenarios as she approached the entrance. Just when she considered turning around and fleeing, a voice rang out loudly:“Dr. Reeves is here!

In the room, Harper curled up on the bed, wrapped in blankets like a cocoon, shivering.“Harper…” Chase frowned, seeing her like that.She hugged herself, teeth chattering. Hearing his voice, she lifted her eyes. “Chase… I’m so cold.”“Come, let me take your temperature. I’ll turn the heater up.”She scooted closer. He placed the thermometer under her armpit. “Hold it. Don’t let it fall.”Harper nodded.He raised the heater a bit more, but he knew it wasn’t the temperature—it was her body.He sat on the bed and held her, hoping to give her warmth.His body was hot, and she curled into him, pressed tightly. It helped.Five minutes later, he checked the thermometer. His brow furrowed—39.6°C.“Harper, you have a fever, and it’s high,” he said.“I feel awful,” she murmured, feeling

Two days ago, her parents had gone to X Café for a meeting with Grandma Gallagher.There, a CCTV recording from the rooftop of the café had been preserved.With trembling hands, Harper tapped the video to play it.Blake—Harper’s father—spoke first.“Ma’am, please cancel the marriage between Young Master Gallagher and our daughter. We’re begging you… don’t drag Harper into the old feud between our families.”Grandma Gallagher replied coldly,“Fine. Then give me The Reeves Codex, and I’ll cancel everything.”It hit her like a thunderclap. Harper’s mind buzzed.‘What does that even mean?’Blake spoke again, his voice strained with desperation:“Ma’am, you know we don’t have it. And there’s no proof it even belongs to you and not our ancestors. That matter is ancient history!&r

Chase dashed out, phone still pressed to his ear. “Grandma, she’s definitely left the hospital. Don’t come. Wait at home and see if she returns. Let me know immediately if you hear anything.”“What… where are you going?” Grandma Gallagher asked, panicked.“Twenty minutes isn’t long. I’ll find her.”“What… what’s going on?!” she wailed.Chase had no time to comfort her. He hung up, made more calls, and sent people to search.She was sick, outside was cold, and she only had a down jacket. She couldn’t last long. Time was critical.He didn’t drive—she wouldn’t have money for a taxi and couldn’t go far. He searched nearby streets, estimating how far she could have walked in twenty minutes.East, south, west, north—he covered all directions, all within two hours. His long legs gave him an edge.Still, no si

For a whole month, she had avoided him. Chase had searched for her everywhere—Carissa’s place, intitute’s lab, even Grandpa Reeves’ residence. Every time, she slipped through his fingers. And today, the moment he heard from the butler that Harper was coming to see Grandma, he rushed back, terrified that he would lose her again.Harper knew she couldn’t keep running forever. Before coming here, she had already made up her mind.“Since you’re here,” she said quietly but firmly, “let’s go file for divorce—”Before she could finish, a strong hand cupped the back of her head and pulled her forward, his lips crashing onto hers.Her eyes widened in shock. She struggled instinctively, but every time she faced this man, her strength vanished—her body betrayed her, powerless beneath the force of his emotions.So she stopped resisting and allowed the kiss to burn out its fire. Only

When the bride arrived, the music shifted—soft, romantic, and breathtaking.Everyone stood.Harper appeared at the entrance, wearing a gown of white silk flowing like water, embroidered with delicate silver threads that shimmered under the light. Her long dark hair fell in gentle curls, a veil cascading down her back. Beside her walked Grandpa Reeves, holding her arm with proud, dignified strength.The crowd gasped.Carissa clasped her hands together. “She looks like an angel.”Grandma Gallagher wept openly, shoulders shaking.Chase, waiting under the floral arch, felt his breath stop. His eyes burned, vision blurring. For a moment, he forgot there was an audience. There was only her—the woman he once thought he’d lose forever.And now she was walking toward him.Every step felt like a heartbeat returning to life. When she reached the altar, Grandpa Reeves gently placed her hand into Chase
