Haley had utterly distracted him after he had spent the entire time practicing this entire speech in his thoughts. She had been acting strangely lately. Actually, it's getting more and more strange. In the past, she would become envious if he even looked at another lady on the street. Additionally, she would personally stand over the stove to make him hangover soup whenever he overindulged in alcohol out of concern for his health. In an attempt to smell something cooking, he scanned the kitchen and even smelt the air. However, there was no soup. Hell, not even the subtle scent of brewing herbs was around. "A little of the soup for a hangover? I truly require it.” However, Haley got up from the table. "I don't have time because I have stuff to do today. The packages of herbs are in the refrigerator. Ask Ms. Douglas or have Steph make it." Lydia overheard the conclusion of that conversation as she was descending the stairs. Confused, she came to a complete halt. What's happening

Kieran’s eyes darted from them to Haley obviously torn. "Honey, you can put off the surgery for another day. Why don't you go in and relax today? I'll absolutely do it tomorrow.” Haley couldn't contain her laughter. She was too familiar with him. This was the exact response she had anticipated. She has always been at the bottom of Kieran’s priority list. He had never prioritized her. She had been foolish enough to think he was similar to her father, so it hadn't hurt back then. She had believed that he was the kind of man who would age alongside her, even if it meant facing death. So she had given him everything and had no regrets at all. However, that dream was now totally dashed. At last, she realized that the man she had loved had only ever lived in her head. There were few men in the world who were as loyal and committed as her father. Among many others, Kieran was just another typical, avaricious, and self-centered individual. From deep within her heart, a dread that se

"Enough, really!" Lydia said furiously, snatching his tie and lunging at him with a furious expression on her face. Kieran gave her a forceful shove when he could take it no more. His tumultuous emotions gradually subsided as he stormed to the street corner, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag after angrily kicking the car door open. He caught a glimpse of a well-known wayside flower shop out of the corner of his eye. He frequently placed floral orders as a frequent patron. Lydia caught up to him. The majority of her rage vanished when she saw him going to buy flowers. "I want imported Bulgarian red roses, with half-open buds, must have arrived by air today..." she told the cashier right away. "Not red ones. White one.” Kieran cut her off in a chilly tone. Stunned, Lydia gazed at him. "I've always received red roses from you. Why are we white today?” Kieran silently observed the cashier wrapping the roses without responding. "Haley consented to undergo the procedure tomor

She made incremental progress. Lydia felt irritated by every click of Arlene’s high heels on the ground. Her entire body shook, her face flushed, and she dared not look Arlene in the eyes. "Look up! Let me see who dares to treat this house as their own place!" Arlene sternly chastised Lydia as she approached her. "Arlene..." Pretending to be giving, Haley gave Arlene a little tug on the arm. "Give it up. Given the numerous challenges the Colin Froup is facing, Ms. Douglas was most likely just nervous." "Anxious?" Arlene became even more enraged. "I heard what she said," she reprimanded, pointing at Lydia. “With the audacity to yell at you, who does she think she is?” "Steph was correct! You simply push her luck like a shameless hussy! No matter how serious the issue is, someone who isn't a servant shouldn't offer commands." Lydia was deeply hurt by what Arlene had said. Her lips quivered as she suddenly lifted her head. "How can you say that, Mrs. Colin? Riley... Riley i

With an uncontrollable smile on her face, Arlene swiftly waved her away. Haley turned to go after getting her handbag. However, Kieran abruptly opened the passenger door and entered the vehicle as she was closing the door after getting inside. He seemed to be talking about the weather with a natural expression. "Going to the hospital by yourself is very risky, honey. I'll accompany you.” Haley felt her heart sink. How thoughtful of him. He hasn't forgotten to go with me to the abortion despite all of our mutual happiness. She forced a grin. In a moment, Kieran’s face flashed with panic. "I've already consumed the drug. It's finished. A difficult procedure is not necessary. Haley sounded casual and had a benign expression, as though she had just burst a pimple. Kieran’s expression was one of complete disbelief, and his mouth dropped wide. Haley gave him a composed glance. "Last evening. just beside you." Kieran felt every hair on his body stand on end. He was t
