Chapter 91
The woman who suddenly appeared and started throwing suspicion at Violet was none other than Chloe Turner—someone who had loved Eric deeply for years, and who, despite knowing her feelings were one-sided, still couldn’t stop chasing after him.Violet pressed her lips together. It would’ve been easy to say she wasn’t there with just Grace—Eric, her boyfriend, was there too.But she restrained herself. This wasn’t the right time to start a fight. Eric needed peace so he could focus on his physical training.The last thing she wanted was a scene that would ruin his concentration.This isn’t the right time, Violet reminded herself, tense.Chloe crossed her arms, eyes narrowing. “Why are you so quiet? Listen, we’re friends, right? As a friend, I’m asking you nicely—stop getting close to Eric. He’s mine to approach, not yours.”Grace’s expression turned cold. She knew very well that in this entire city, no woman had more right to Eric than Violet. She wanted to step up, to defend her lady—b

Slowly, Chloe loosened her grip on Eric’s hand. Her voice came out hoarse, trembling with disbelief.“Didn’t you say before that it was all just pretend? So what is this now, Eric? Another act? Just to stop me from getting close to you again?”Eric exhaled sharply. “It was pretend before, yes. But now… we’re together because we actually love each other. That’s it. That’s the only reason we need.”It felt as if Chloe’s throat was being crushed by the weight of those words. Her heart shattered the moment she heard the one truth she never wanted to hear from him. It was too sudden, too suffocating. Her body trembled—she didn’t even know how she was still standing. Her knees felt like they were made of air.“Listen,” Eric continued coolly, “what we have is just friendship. And a real friend knows how to respect another’s privacy. Enjoy your golf game.”He smirked, the corner of his lips tilting in quiet dominance, then grabbed Violet’s hand and walked away—leaving Chloe frozen on the gree

Eric chuckled softly. “I’m glad you like it. This ranch is a fusion of traditional methods and full automation. The result—these horses are cared for in the most perfect way possible.”Violet stood still, her gaze fixed on him, admiration clear in her eyes. For a man who owned multiple successful businesses, Eric carried himself with disarming humility—never one to show off, even when he easily could.A light-brown horse with a long, black mane approached the fence. Its breath came out warm, and its eyes were gentle, intelligent. The moment stole Violet’s attention away from Eric.She stepped forward, extending her hand to stroke the horse’s neck gently. “He’s so tame,” she whispered, her smile blooming.Eric came closer, his voice low and calm. “His name’s Moko. One of the fastest horses here.”Violet glanced at him briefly before turning back to the horse. “You must really like horses.”Eric nodded. “Horses and humans share the same instinct—to survive. The difference is, horses kno

Violet’s face tensed up. She knew Eric was supposed to finish a full five-kilometer run. But honestly, her heart ached watching him push through even just two. She could still hear his uneven breathing.“Are you sure about this?” Violet asked softly.Eric tried to smile, not wanting her to worry. “I’m fine,” he murmured. “Just… running out of gas a little.”“A little? You almost collapsed just now!” Violet sighed deeply, her eyes lingering on his sweat-soaked face. She reached into the pocket of her riding vest, pulled out a small handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat from his temple.“Why do you always push yourself like this?” she whispered. “You don’t have to be strong all the time in front of me.”Eric froze for a moment. He looked at her, eyes soft yet awkward. Inside his chest, embarrassment, affection, and the weight of his hidden mission collided.“Listen,” Violet continued, “even without doing all this, you’re already the strongest man in my eyes. You’re strong enough to h

Violet was still standing there, heart swelling with emotion, when Eric suddenly took off running.“Catch me if you can!” he shouted, glancing back with a grin.Violet’s lips curled into a wide smile. She quickly mounted her horse again and called out, “Alright then! Moko and I won’t let you get away that easily!”Eric sprinted across the wide open field, his sneakers pounding against the soft green grass, each rhythmic thud blending with the whisper of the wind. His hair flew messily, his grin stretched wide, and his eyes burned with fierce determination.Every few seconds, Eric looked back, catching a glimpse of Violet on Moko, galloping after him, her laughter ringing through the air.“Come on, Eric! Don’t let us catch up!” Violet shouted playfully from atop her horse.Eric’s raspy voice answered back, “We’ll see about that!”He leaned forward, picking up speed, his posture like that of a professional runner cutting through the air. The exhaustion that had gripped him earlier seeme

Violet swallowed hard, unable to hide the smile spreading across her face. She nodded softly. “Alright. But make sure I don’t bump into anything, okay?”Eric chuckled, squeezing her hand tightly. “Relax. I won’t let you get hurt—not even a scratch.”They began walking slowly, leaving the open field behind. Eric kept glancing at her with a quiet, satisfied grin, while the late afternoon sun cast long golden streaks over the grass.During the drive back home, Violet tried her best to pry information out of Eric about the “surprise” he had prepared for her. But Eric, calm as ever, handled every one of her questions with infuriating ease—never giving away even the smallest clue.Again and again, he only said, “You’ll find out soon enough.”Before long, the car rolled to a stop in front of Eric’s luxurious mansion.“Can I take it off now?” Violet asked the second Eric helped her out of the car. Her voice was full of impatience and curiosity, almost trembling with excitement.“Not yet,” Eri

Violet took a deep breath, trying to calm the pounding in her chest. Then she slowly lifted the lid of the tray the servant had brought.“Eric,” she called softly when her eyes caught sight of a small red box resting neatly inside.“Go on,” Eric said again, smiling broadly, his tone playful yet filled with something deep and unreadable.Violet’s hands trembled as she reached for the box. The silk wrapping felt almost too soft beneath her fingertips. She tried to open it, but her hands wouldn’t stop shaking.Before she could even struggle further, Eric stepped forward, gently grabbing her hands. When Violet looked up at him in surprise, he simply took the box from her and flipped it open himself.From the side, Violet could see what was inside — and her breath caught instantly.Her lips parted slightly, and her eyes widened in astonishment.Inside the red box lay a necklace — but not just any necklace.At first glance, it seemed simple. Modest, even. But that simplicity was exactly wha

Eric held back a grin as he watched Violet’s adorable, anxious expression. Then, keeping his face serious, he continued speaking in a calm, steady tone.“I want to ask Violet to be my wife.”Violet’s eyes went wide again. Her hand flew up to cover her mouth, and her heart pounded so hard it felt like it was about to leap out of her chest. She bit her lip, wondering if she had misheard.But that doubt vanished the next second when she heard Eric continue speaking to David Jung.“Yes, I’m completely serious. Tomorrow, I’ll come to your house to make a formal proposal. But for now, I want to ask for your and Dr. Marry’s blessing.”Then Eric tapped the speaker button on his phone.From the other end, David Jung could be heard shouting for his wife. His excited, trembling voice narrated Eric’s intention to propose to their daughter. Moments later, Dr. Marry’s joyful shriek filled the room, followed by her enthusiastic words, granting permission without a trace of hesitation—without even as

Eric stayed silent for a few moments, his sharp gaze locked on Violet’s face—until finally, a grin curved his lips, revealing a row of perfectly white, even teeth.“I wouldn’t even mind waiting until your hair turns gray,” he said casually, his tone smooth and his smile confident.Violet let out a laugh that quickly turned into tears. Relief and irritation tangled inside her chest. With a playful pout, she smacked his chest lightly. “You scared me!” she whined.Eric immediately apologized and pulled her into his arms. His hand gently brushed through her hair.“Believe me,” he murmured softly near her ear, “I’m proud to be your man. Watching you hold onto your principles only makes me admire you more.” He lifted her face, cupping her cheeks in both hands, his eyes steady and filled with affection. “No matter how long I have to wait, you’re the only woman I want to be the mother of my children.” His thumb wiped away her tears with tender precision.Violet hugged him tightly, unable to p

Violet’s eyes lit up the moment she read the words glowing on Eric’s phone screen. Her lips curved into a bright, uncontrollable smile. A delighted scream escaped her, followed by cheerful clapping as she celebrated her boyfriend’s success.“Wait—does this mean you’ve been accepted as a new member of the University of Grand Houston Rowing Club?” Violet asked eagerly, her voice bubbling with excitement.Eric calmly sliced a piece of steak and lifted it toward her. She accepted it with that soft, loving smile of hers before taking a bite.He replied, “Not necessarily. There are several selection stages. After the administration phase, there’s the physical test—scheduled for Monday afternoon after classes. If I pass that, there’ll still be more to go.”“Oh my God! That means you won’t have much time to rest, Eric.” Violet frowned in concern. “Let’s finish dinner quickly so you can get some rest early.”Eric chuckled lightly and offered her another bite. “Rest might recharge my body,” he
