Jamie finished work and left with Carol in the evening. As soon as they came downstairs, he was greeted by a pleasant floral fragrance. Then, a gentle breeze blew, and it felt soft and warm. A branch of hawthorn extended over the black Bentley. It was white as snow and quite beautiful.Carol reached out to try to touch it, but her short arms couldn’t reach it. With a simple snap, Jamie easily picked one and placed a small white flower in her palm. Carol exclaimed, "Wow!" She was so overjoyed that she even gave her dad a sniff of it. Jamie's heart softened further.As they got into the car, Carol sweetly said in a soft voice, “Dad, I want to eat baby food. Larissa said other kids often go eat baby food with their mommies and daddies, and Carol wants to go too.”At that moment, Jamie felt that he would do anything for Carol. He would even pluck the moon from the sky if she wanted. “Sure.” He fastened his seatbelt and indulgently agreed. Ten minutes later, the car stopped in

After a while, Jamie gently stepped on the gas pedal and drove toward the setting sun. The last traces of crimson clouds lingered in the sky, mingling softly with pale purple amidst the encroaching darkness and creating a vibrant scene. The car moved slowly, seemingly with purpose. Meanwhile, Carol sat in the backseat and sang off-key children's songs. Jamie held the steering wheel in a relaxed demeanor. Paityn bit into the hamburger. At this moment, the concept of a family began to take shape, but she dared not think too deeply about it. Instead, she asked him in a muffled voice, “Where are you driving to?” Jamie glanced at her in the rearview mirror and replied softly, “Aren't you the one who wanted to take a walk? Those high heels are too expensive and uncomfortable. It's just as good to enjoy the night view from the car.” Paityn didn't say anything more. She silently munched on the hamburger. After a moment, Carol handed her a cup of cola and said cheerfully, “Daddy say

The next day was Carol's interview at the kindergarten. Initially, Paityn wanted to meet at the kindergarten gate, but Jamie said he would pick her up at home. She didn't want to argue over such trivial matters. So, she agreed. Just after Paitynhung up the phone, she met her mother's thoughtful gaze. Jennifer spoke up, “Jamie came by yesterday afternoon with Carol and an assistant. He didn’t say much; he just left some supplements for me. They looked like some rare good stuff.” Paityn was taken aback. Jennifer continued, “I haven't been by your side for the past few years, and I don’t even know about your past relationship situations. I feel like a negligent mother and shouldn't meddle in your love life. "However, I have to say something. I can tell that Jamie has feelings for you. He’s just a bit too proud, like a kindergarten boy who likes a girl and bullies her to get her attention. That’s how I see Jamie.” Paityn heard this and felt a pang of melancholy, but she repli

As soon as the words left Paityn's lips, her mouth was kissed. It was a gentle kiss, and it felt cautious and tender as if Jamie were treating a rare treasure. Paityn opened her eyes, and so did Jamie; they gazed at each other, and Paityn felt like crying at that moment. Jamie had never kissed Paityn like this before. A single tear slid down her cheeks. It was salty and wet. Just when she thought he was going to let her go, he tightened his embrace around the back of her neck and began to kiss her fiercely. Jamie kissed Paityn deeply and passionately as if he wanted to claim her completely, while her tears flowed fiercely and uncontrollably, from beginning to end.After a long while, Jamie finally released her. Paityn was left dazed by the kiss. She was completely unsure of where or when she was, while he gently pressed his forehead against hers, whispering, “You can report me for assault now, or slap me to relieve your anger.” Two seconds later, a crisp slap echoed against hi

Paityn hurried to the first floor.Jamie was sitting comfortably on a sofa in the lobby. A cup of fragrant coffee was placed on the small side table beside him. The receptionist was attentively keeping him company, speaking politely to the distinguished Jamie.“Ms. Paityn will be down shortly. Please take a seat. I brought over a couple of business magazines for you.”Jamie was in a very good mood, and he responded graciously, “No need, thank you! My child’s mother will be down any minute.”My child’s mother…The receptionist’s heart was pounding with excitement. She was eager to spread the juicy scoop throughout the entire building and indulge in a bit of gossip.Unfortunately, Paityn arrived quickly, and she overheard his words.Jamie leaned back on the sofa and remarked casually, “The coffee is nice, but the magazines aren’t quite up-to-date.”Paityn walked over and picked up the two magazines. She glanced at them and spoke coolly, “If you bought my company, then you’d be fr
