After that time, I gradually let my heart soften and allowed Zoey to step into it.But now, even though the words were the same, they brought me completely different feelings.It turned out that everything had merely been my childish fantasy from youth.Zoey had never been the gentle, beautiful goddess I had imagined in my heart."Have you thought it through?""If you have, then go home. With me around, you will never need to worry about money. You will only need to live a happy life under my protection. Wouldn’t it be better with me supporting you?"Zoey thought my silence meant that I had finally come to my senses.Yes, I had come to my senses.But it was not to return to her side—it was to leave her with clarity."You don't need to worry about me, Zoey. Don't come looking for me again.""What did you say?""I said, I will have a brand-new life—career, love, marriage, children. That will be my future, not living forever under your protection.""Sam, do you know what you a

As she pushed open the hotel room door, Jane casually asked, “How do you feel about your sister-in-law?”"Just the way one feels about an ordinary elder.""Really? But from the way she looked just now, things between you two doesn’t seem to be that simple.""Miss Queen, this has nothing to do with the work we’re about to discuss."My emphasis made Jane pause, but she quickly recovered."That was my slip. Let's get down to business. This document contains all the research our company has done for this project. You can have a look through it first. If you have any thoughts, we can discuss them directly."Jane handed me a file—more than 20 pages in total.I skimmed it briefly; inside was a detailed introduction to the project, the requirements of the other company, the effects they wanted to achieve, their projected outcomes, and so on.The project involved the Queen Group taking over an entire commercial district. Taking advantage of the development opportunity, they wanted to en

"When I saw him, he was completely disheveled, like a drowned rat, but even so, his eyes were still filled with joy when he looked at me. At that moment, my heart ached, and I couldn't help but hold him. We leaned against each other while hiding from the rain. He suddenly told me he had a surprise for me. I was wondering what it was when he suddenly knelt on one knee and took out a ring from his pocket. At the time, he was soaked from head to toe, yet the ring was somehow dry. I was shocked and laughed, calling him an idiot—after all, a ring didn't fear the rain. But he smiled back and told me that while the ring could get wet, his love could not."Everyone listened intently. My lips trembled, and my eyes gradually became wet.But the next second, Zoey's gaze, full of affection, turned to Cameron beside her."That person was Cameron. We confirmed our relationship that very night. That was my most unforgettable moment."As soon as her voice fell, the room filled with admiration.Bu

Zoey stared at me, as if her gaze could see straight through my heart.I trembled inwardly, but I steadied myself quickly."Yes, I only see you as my sister-in-law.""Then why did you keep calling my name after you blacked out last night, and why were you confessing to me?"Had I lost control again in front of her after getting drunk?Faced with her questioning, I was speechless and lowered my head."I don’t remember...""I knew you would give me that excuse. Sam, I’m really disappointed in you!"Her tone suddenly turned icy, enough to make anyone's heart tremble."When will you finally grow up a little? I've told you countless times—there’s no way that we’ll be together. I will always be your sister-in-law.""I know, Zoey. I truly do. I’ve already started letting go and living a new life," I explained sincerely, but all I received was her mocking, disdainful laugh."Sam, do you think I can't tell? This so-called new life of yours—you gave me money, pretended to leave withou

"What were you standing at the door for? Sam, did you quarrel with your sister-in-law?"When Cameron walked in and saw that both Zoey and I looked upset, he naturally guessed what had happened."You’ve stepped over the line, Sam. Your sister-in-law had raised you with such hardship and care. No matter what happened, you shouldn't have quarreled with her. Zoey, babe, don't be angry. I’ll coax you later."I couldn't be bothered with Cameron's tone, which was laced with gloating, and I liked even less hearing him talking as if he was already Zoey’s husband.I reached out and snatched my laptop back."Give it back! You didn't touch anything inside, did you?"I turned on the laptop to check as I stared at Cameron suspiciously."What did you mean by that? I just borrowed your laptop to check its performance. Why would I touch your things?"Cameron frowned as well."See? I told you Cameron wouldn't touch your things. You're just too sensitive."Zoey breathed a sigh of relief.Altho
