Janice continued, "You have no idea how many people in the company covet men like Mr. Xander."Moreover, Mr. Harrison has already..." Janice then thought of how Kevin looked so infatuated with another woman last night. She chose to keep quiet about it and did not speak further.She secretly glanced at Blake and found her lost in thought, seemingly not paying attention to what she was saying. She was also afraid Blake might ask about Kevin.Blake could never overcome the emotional obstacle she was facing. Even if others convinced her, she could not be persuaded.If brief sentences from others could bring solace to someone, there would not be so many people obsessed over someone.To cheer Blake up, Janice deliberately took her to see the drama they had talked about but never watched.They sat on the couch, but Blake remained gloomy.Janice said, "Blake, you still haven't eaten, right? Let me heat up the food. You wait here for me, and don't secretly eat the snacks alone."After J

"Okay," Blake said.Upon hearing her response, Janice did not know whether to feel happy or sad for her.She wondered if Blake had truly accepted Liam or if she was acting like this because she found out Kevin had a fiancée after he came back.The traffic on the road was a bit congested. So, Liam only arrived half an hour later. Blake had been standing still at the mall's entrance, waiting for him.He held an umbrella and walked up to Blake. "Blake, I'll take you home."Janice saw Liam look at her, and she hurriedly waved her hand. "Mr. Xander, you don't need to worry about me. I've called a cab and won't go with you two. I'll go back to the company to cancel my leave."Liam nodded. "Okay. Thank you for taking care of Blake for the past few days. If you need anything from now on, you can find me."Janice replied, "No worries. Hurry up and take Blake away. It's raining heavily; don't let her catch a cold."Blake saw the couple walking out of the mall from the corner of her eye.

Blake felt sad for a while after deleting Kevin's contact. Then, she experienced a sense of relief that she had never felt before.Back then, she was determined to be with Kevin. Now, she was equally determined to let him go instantly.Like Kevin, Blake never made decisions lightly, nor would she give up easily. But if she had to move on, she would not regret it either.At the hotel, Audrey said, "Blake must've misunderstood the situation. Why don't you let me explain it to her? I'll tell her that you only agreed to be engaged to me to appease those who wanted to deal with my family. Blake likes you so much, and you like her too, right?"Kevin remained silent. Audrey held his hands and could feel his whole body tensing.She knew he was just enduring the pain.Despite Kevin's cold demeanor, he was still human; he had emotions and desires. It was not that he did not have feelings for Blake. It was just that there were too many obstacles between them.Kevin responded, "You don't ne

Liam told the photographers to pause the shoot.After Blake went to the dressing room upstairs, she lay on the couch without wanting to move. "I'll go change.""Do you need me to help you?" Liam asked.Blake was stunned for a moment.It was just an instinctive offer from Liam; he did not think much of it.He continued to say, "Sorry, I was...""It's okay. Come help me unzip; I can't reach it," Blake interrupted.She thought, 'Since I've made the decision, Liam and I will be a married couple from now on. After all, it's just my body; he'd already seen it last time.'Blake held Liam's hand and walked into the changing room. Unexpectedly, he leaned over, pressing her against the door, and held her chin as he kissed her.He said, "Blake, no matter what happens in the future, I'll always be loyal to you."Blake smiled slightly. "Okay. I trust you, the very nice Mr. Xander."The promise of 'always be loyal' was more valuable to Liam than the vows declared by the priest in the chur

Liam said, "If you think the apartment is too small, we can go look for a new place after our wedding."Blake lay on his lap, opened a pack of chips, and started eating. "It's okay. I think we're fine like this. The neighborhood is very quiet, and the landscaping is quite good."Liam replied, "Alright. I'll follow whatever you decide."Blake sniffed and suddenly smelled something. She then sniffed his body. "Did you smoke? I thought you don't smoke?""I'll quit," Liam replied.He then handed over the cigarettes in his pocket and all the money in his wallet to Blake. "From now on, you'll handle everything in this household, including all kinds of expenses. The PIN to the bank account is your birthday.""I'm not good at managing money. I might mess up," Blake responded.Liam said, "It's okay, you can take it slow. I still have some time before starting my new job, so I'll be at home with you during this period.""Okay."A week passed, and it was Blake's wedding.It was held in
