A tall figure stood under the tree. His gaze was filled with tenderness as he looked at her. The man bent down gently to caress Yanni’s forehead and whispered her name: "Yanni."It was Keaton. Yanni’s eyes fluttered open slightly, and she looked at the man in front of her. She wondered how he had suddenly appeared in her life again as if he were everywhere. Yanni was drunk. People often speak more freely when they are in this state. She stared at Keaton with unclouded eyes, and her expression was devoid of any ambiguity. Yanni said bluntly, "I signed the papers with Gael. He asked me if I had slept with you. He also asked if you were better than him."Keaton felt a mix of frustration and amusement. There was an undeniable flutter of unease in his heart. He was a man. So, he couldn’t help but think about sex.Keaton gently caressed Yanni’s face. His voice was low and sensual as he spoke. “I’ll let you know in due time.” With that, he lifted her effortlessly and carried her toward

Yanni looked at Gael as if he were insane. "Are you so eager to share a bed with Emilia?" Gael gritted his teeth, "I saw Keaton drop you off." "So, what if he did? Is it against the law? If you can’t get it through your head, Gael, let me say it again. We’re divorced… Divorced, understand? It means there are no more legal bindings. "Let’s maintain some dignity, at least."…Gael stared at her. He had been speaking for a while because he wanted Yanni to give him an explanation and deny any involvement with Keaton or any other man. However, Yanni’s tone was only impatient. She didn’t even want to spin a lie for his sake.Gael gave a bitter smile and said, "I get it, Yanni. I don’t actually care that much about you. It’s just that it’s so sudden. You’ve moved on to someone else so quickly. It seems like you really have no feelings left at all." Yanni really wanted Gael to see a psychiatrist. His gaze dropped slightly, landing on Yanni’s delicate and pale fingers. "You’ve ev

Emilia tilted her head and kissed Gael. This time, he didn’t disappoint her. Their lips pressed against each other tightly. They were entangled and reluctant to part as if they wanted to merge into each other's bodies and never separate. Be that as it may, the distinction between a man’s desire and a man’s love was clear. After Emilia got out of the car, Gael remained inside. Gael didn't dwell on what had just happened. Instead, he found himself thinking about his ex-wife. Yanni had become a tormenting presence in his heart, a mix of love and hate.…Emilia returned to the VIP ward, only to find it empty. Ansley’s heart had failed, and she was undergoing emergency treatment.The nurse informed Emilia that Yanni had personally entered the emergency room and assured her to trust that Yanni would be Ansley’s attending physician from now on. Emilia might've seen Ansley as a means to an end, but Ansley was still her daughter. It was impossible not to feel heartache, especially

Yanni felt a bit embarrassed and annoyed. "Keaton."On the other end of the phone, there was a light and amused laugh from Keaton. However, he let her off easily.Yanni walked over to the sofa and sat down. She leaned against the backrest while gazing at the desk bathed in sunlight. That bouquet of calla lilies stood resilient. It felt as if one could feel new life forming within their own body just by looking at them.Calla lilies… Was this Keaton's version of romance?…In the evening, Yanni made a trip back to the Lockwood Villa.The crimson sunset bathed the mansion in a fiery glow, like flames flickering through a forest. Yanni's car pulled into the parking lot. A servant came over to open the car door and delivered a little report. "Mr. Mason has been waiting for you for two days."Yanni smiled lightly. "It's more like he's nagged about me for two days!"The servant mimicked Mason's tone: "She thinks she's grown up and become tough now. This was such a big matter, and she

Yanni felt completely seen through by Keaton. He knew her too well. His pursuit was indeed intimidating. It wasn’t every day someone laid out eight billion dollars so openly. Jamie had mentioned that a man like Keaton was too aggressive and that his naive sister wouldn’t be able to handle it. Yanni didn’t want to conquer anyone. Keaton was like a puzzle to her. She was tempted to unravel his secrets and see how many more ways he had to charm a woman.Yanni admitted that she was somewhat smitten by Keaton. Thankfully, Ella was there. Otherwise, she couldn’t guarantee that they wouldn’t cross boundaries or take things too far. Keaton and Yanni had physical needs, but starting a physical relationship so casually felt too impulsive for her. She wanted to properly nurture their emotional connection as well.That night, Ella stayed over. Keaton left late in the night. Yanni woke in the middle of the night. The sound of the rain tapping against the window kept her awake. Each drop w
