Watching Tayne Marsh's retreating figure, Ava Adam finally felt a pang of panic. "Tayne Marsh, get back here! If you dare walk out that door, don't ever come back."Tayne Marsh paused briefly, but he kept walking.As his silhouette disappeared beyond the gate, Ava Adam's heart sank into despair. "Tayne Marsh... you liar."If Ava Adam hadn't been so overbearingly stubborn—if she'd just said something like, "I'll make it again for you"—Tayne Marsh would never have left.But the sad truth was, she never reflected on herself. She simply assumed that Tayne Marsh didn't love her enough. And deep down, she was convinced that he would always be the first to apologize and coax her back.This time, though, Tayne Marsh didn't come home...Gwen Grayson had been feeling an urgent itch to get married lately. Especially after seeing the wedding gown design that Xavier Grayson had drawn for Chloe Bishop—it suddenly made her yearn to walk down the aisle in a dress of her own.After everything Chloe Bi

Tim was especially humble. "But I can't compare to you."Gwen Grayson couldn't detect any flattery at all. "Of course not. If you want to compete with me, you still need a lot more practice."Her words made Tim hesitant to accelerate further—if he broke her proud speed record, she might get annoyed and refuse to have dinner with him.After that, Tim humbly asked Gwen Grayson for driving tips. Seeing how eager he was to learn, she generously shared quite a bit with him.As she explained, the car slowed down. Tim pulled over to the side, and the engine noise faded.But just as Gwen Grayson was getting to the key point, the roar of an engine from behind them shattered the quiet, making it impossible for her to speak. She grumbled, "Who's being so inconsiderate this late at night?"Tim barely suppressed his urge to laugh and played along. "Yeah, who's being so thoughtless, disturbing people trying to have a romantic moment? Aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning?"Gwen Grayson tu

Tim paused for a moment. "Sorry, I was just thinking about something. Let me order—I know which dishes are worth trying."But Gwen Grayson reached out and pressed down on the menu. "Forget it, Tim. I'm not hungry anymore. No appetite."She stood up and walked out. Tim had no choice but to follow.On the way back, Gwen Grayson didn't offer much explanation, and Tim remained unusually quiet. It was the first time since they'd known each other that things had gone this cold.When she got out of the car, Gwen Grayson said to Tim, "Sorry for ruining your night."Tim grabbed her hand and asked, "Still can't let him go?"Gwen Grayson replied, "I was just embarrassed and humiliated in the moment. But now that I think about it, there's really no need."Tim pressed further. "Is that all?"She nodded. "Yes. That's all."With that, Gwen Grayson opened the car door and stepped out. She waved goodbye to Tim and turned to head inside the Grayson Residence.Once in her room, she noticed Tim's car was

What had he just heard?After locking the screen, Chloe Bishop's face burned as she looked at Xavier. "You... why are you here?"He hadn't heard, right? Please tell me he hadn't heard.Xavier looked at her guilty expression and knew his guess was right—she had definitely been up to no good."I suddenly wanted to see you, so I came over."He walked toward her calmly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.Seeing no change in his expression, Chloe Bishop breathed a quiet sigh of relief and secretly tucked her phone under her pillow. "We just had dinner together not long ago."They'd eaten together just hours ago!Xavier raised an eyebrow, the curve of his lips dangerously seductive. "What, you don't want to see me? Or... have you been up to something behind my back?"He paused deliberately, savoring the panic and embarrassment flickering in her eyes."How—how could that be."Chloe Bishop stammered, her blush spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears. She wished she c

All of that had made Gwen Grayson believe that Tim actually liked her.But now he was still bringing up the words "fake marriage"—and that sent a chill straight through her heart.Maybe Tim wasn't really interested in her. Maybe he was just being pressured by his family, and she happened to show up at the right time.After a long pause, Gwen Grayson sent him a reply: "Tim, you should find someone else."This ambiguity ends here. I'm out.Tim, you should find someone else.Tim stared at those words for a very, very long time.So... was he being rejected now?In the past, if he'd said something like that to any other woman, they'd have been over the moon. Marrying into the Rollins family—whether real or fake—they'd have jumped at the chance.But with Gwen Grayson, his usual tricks kept failing.Tim felt a pang of dissatisfaction. He grabbed his car keys, ready to drive over and demand an answer from her—but stopped after a few steps.What if she rejected him to his face? Wouldn't that b
