Lincoln cursed under his breath and turned the water temperature further down again. The now-icy water hit him in full blast, finally assuaging some of the raging heat in him.By the time he came out of the bathroom after his shower, the solitary lamp still on in the bedroom made the ambiance look even more alluring.Nerissa was already asleep. She lay on her side, her back facing him. Her breathing was now light and steady.With a strap of her nightgown still off her shoulder, the patch of uninterrupted pale skin glowed faintly in the dim light.Lincoln's throat tightened. He stared for a few seconds before lightly climbing into bed. The mattress dipped ever so slightly.But the moment he lay down, Nerissa unconsciously turned over and rolled straight into his arms.Her soft body fit against his without the slightest gap. One leg was even draped across his waist. The hem of her nightgown rode up to the top of her thigh, and her warm skin brushed against the fabric of his pajama

Ian immediately raised both hands in surrender, plastering an almost ingratiating smile on his face. "My apologies, my dear Mr. Hamilton. Do have mercy on me and forgive me for my big mouth. Allow me to offer a toast in your honor!"He downed his glass in one go.With a cigarette hanging from his lips, Oscar leaned in slightly and narrowed his eyes at Lincoln. "Do you really believe that marriage can somehow bring good luck to the family, Lincoln?"Hearing the question, everyone went silent. The men perked their ears to hear his response.The news that Lincoln was marrying Jennifer as part of the superstitious belief of bringing blessings to the family through marriage had spread like wildfire among the elite circle. People claimed that he was dying soon, which explained why he was in such a rush to get married and "extend" his life.But as they looked at Lincoln now… While he seemed a little exhausted, he looked otherwise healthy, his body still as muscular as ever. Nothing abo

"M-Mr. Judd?" Liam called out timidly.Samuel took a deep breath, forcing down the rising anger in his chest. "Go buy a Shorehaven SIM card. Now."Liam nodded and hurried off.Samuel leaned back into the couch, closing his eyes. Nerissa's temper tantrum had lasted longer than he expected this time. Despite having kicked up a fuss in the past, she would've always called him first within a day.But this time, it'd been four whole days.Samuel opened his eyes and looked out the window. The view of the city only worsened the growing frustration in his heart.He got the feeling that something was slipping out of his hands, going beyond his control.At that moment, his phone rang. He glanced at the name and exhaled before answering, "Hey.""Are you busy, Samuel?" The caller was a friend of his who was a designer. "I've emailed you the design draft you asked me to revise. Take a look at it when you're free.""I got it," Samuel replied."By the way, when's the wedding ceremony?"Sam

Nerissa was just about to get Albert to drive her back to Mistgrove Estate when she spotted a tall man leaning against the hood of a car in the distance. His legs were crossed. The smoke from his cigarette drifted upward in thin strands.Seemingly sensing her gaze, Lincoln lifted his eyes. He put out the cigarette and strode over to her.Nerissa froze, momentarily blanking. Lincoln? Why was he here?"How did the interview go?" he asked.She snapped back to her senses and nodded. "It went well. I'm starting tomorrow."He smiled faintly. "That's good to hear."Then he reached out and took her bag from her. "Let's go. The wedding gowns and other outfits are ready. You can try them on today."Try on… wedding gowns?Lincoln turned and walked toward the car. After a few steps, he stopped and looked back at her."Why aren't you moving?""Huh? Oh." Chewing her lip, Nerissa hurried over.Albert had already opened the car door, his hand resting respectfully on the top. Nerissa bent do

Vera Kennedy?Nerissa was stunned. Wasn't that the name of the internationally renowned bridal gown designer?She instinctively turned to look at Lincoln, keeping her voice down as she asked, "Isn't this just a marriage of convenience? There's no need to go to all this trouble…"Lincoln smirked. "It's no trouble at all. It's just a few wedding gowns. They were ordered in advance according to your measurements. You only need to go for a quick try-on."He turned to Vera. "Is everything ready?""Yes, Mr. Hamilton. We've prepared 12 wedding gowns and 24 formal gowns according to Mrs. Hamilton's measurements. They're all inside."Nerissa didn't know what to say. Was that his idea of a few gowns?Vera was beaming as she continued, "Feel free to see the gowns first, Mrs. Hamilton. If there's anything not to your satisfaction, we can do the alterations on the spot."She pulled back the curtains, and Nerissa's breath hitched. A row of wedding gowns hung neatly from the racks, each one o
