The three of them stood in silence.After a long pause, it was Holly who spoke first. She looked calmly at Tegan and said in a soft, gentle voice, "Lorian has had too much to drink. Please take care of him."Tegan was kind-hearted. She was never one to make things difficult for others. Moreover, she knew her place in Lorian's heart.Tegan nodded and watched as Holly walked past. She had never been in a relationship, but she could imagine how deeply a six-year bond could be etched into one's heart.…The long corridor was illuminated by a magnificent chandelier above. Holly's silhouette moved quietly forward. Behind her stood the man she once loved deeply. Lorian said he didn't want to make things difficult for her. He spoke of Silvercrest and their shared memories. Holly thought that no matter how unforgettable something was, it had to be buried deep in the heart and kept secret for a lifetime eventually. Those moments were vivid and glorious when she recalled them occasiona
Lorian sat there in his formal attire and observed the couple quietly.He knew deep down that he couldn't change things, not even Caitlin's presence could shake Holly and Ignacio's relationship. He had accepted it in his heart, but there were still some words he wanted to say to Holly again. Perhaps he couldn't let things end like this!…Holly went to the restroom for a moment.When she came out from the stall to wash her hands, the water gushed from the golden faucet and flowed between her delicate wrists. After she finished, she closed the faucet and looked up, intending to touch up her makeup.Her gaze froze.She saw Lorian in the mirror. He leaned against the door, and his gaze was calm. She hadn't noticed when he had arrived. She hadn't even heard a sound."Congratulations to you and Ignacio," Lorian said softly while looking at her.Holly and Ignacio's wedding was set for Christmas. Considering the date, it was coming up soon. After their marriage, they would fly to Inve
Late at night, Holly returned to the hotel with Ignacio. He turned off the car engine and glanced at his wife. She sat there, lost in thought, and held a delicate bag in her arms.He knew she had met Lorian that day.Ignacio took the bag and pretended to search through it. He said casually, "Let's see what kind of shirt you bought me today." There were two shirts inside. One of them was in medium gray and the other in black. Both colors exuded a sense of calm and elegance.Ignacio gazed at the shirts for a while before asking softly, "Do you like me in these colors?"Holly snapped out of her reverie. She gently touched the fabric of the shirts and softly replied, "These colors suit you well. I noticed there weren't many like these in your wardrobe, so I bought them for you."Ignacio smiled warmly, "I really love them! Thank you, Holly."He pretended to open the car door as if to get out, but Holly held onto his sleeve button. She whispered, "Why did you choose to settle abroad?
Tegan was timid and didn't dare touch Lorian's face, but she was curious. She watched his handsome face slightly contorted from kissing, imagining how someone as gentle and refined as him could also have a down-to-earth side.Lorian's nose was straight, and it brushed against her delicate nostrils lightly as they kissed. The kiss grew deeper and deeper.Eventually, it was deeper than Tegan could bear. After all, this was her first kiss. She had no experience and didn't know what a man looked like when they were turned on. The only thing she knew was that Lorian's body was hot.All she knew was that Lorian was the dominant one in this relationship, Just like this kiss, it wasn't really appropriate. However, she couldn't refuse it because Lorian wanted it. The kiss ended.Lorian released her. Tegan breathed softly. She didn't resist. Instead, she rested her small face on his shoulder obediently and became the wife he wanted.Love? Tegan didn't dare hope for it. She was clearly am
Lorian finished speaking, and Tegan was stunned.Go into a relationship before getting married to become husband and wife, he said.Tegan looked up at him, and the world seemed to stand still. All she could think was what Lorian said earlier. Before she could fully process it, she found herself blurting out, "Okay."After saying the word, Tegan felt a sense of surrealism wash over her, yet there was no apparent regret. She knew she couldn't refuse Lorian for the future of the McKinney family. As her father would say, if Lorian was willing to marry her, it would be as if they had won the biggest lottery in life.Lorian took her hand. He guided her into the car and instructed the driver to start driving.As the driver stepped on the gas pedal, Kris, who was sitting in the front seat and had worked for Lorian for many years, was stunned. She knew his preferences well. Tegan was indeed suitable in terms of conditions, but she definitely didn't meet Lorian's aesthetic standards.
On the side, Kris dared not speak. Did Lorian just say Tegan was his wife? From what she knew, Lorian's blind date hadn't gone well. Was he trying to provoke Holly now?After a while, Holly regained her voice. She looked towards Jodie and introduced, "This is my brother now, and this is his girlfriend."She hadn't met Tegan before and didn't know how to address her. Tegan, however, knew of Holly. Her sister, Paityn, was in the business circles as well, and she had mentioned Lorian and Holly's situation. Seeing Holly for the first time, Tegan was somewhat curious. It wasn't until Lorian rested on her shoulder that Tegan snapped out of her trance. She looked up to see a handsome and dignified man.In truth, she was satisfied with this blind date, but she also knew the disparity between herself and Lorian. It ranged from family background to education, and social status. She knew she shouldn't be sitting here with him for a blind date. Her sister, Paityn, was the one who would
Honesty was often dull. Noah and Gwynn felt that this blind date was going nowhere. They knew how picky Lorian was, and sighed silently.To their surprise, Tegan followed up with a question of her own, "Why did you choose to go on a blind date, then? Is it because you've reached the suitable age too?"Tegan's parents were mortified. The Mckinney family was wealthy, but they were a far cry from the Sanders family. The business from Sanders Group made up a third of their dealings. It would be one thing to fail to marry Tegan into their family, but they couldn't afford to offend the Sanders family.Theo scolded Tegan, "What nonsense are you talking about? Apologize to Lorian right now."Before she could respond, Lorian spoke calmly, "Tegan wasn't wrong. I'm here because I've reached a suitable age for marriage. "However, she's only twenty-four years old. She's still young, so there's no need to rush."The parents of both sides heard what he said and felt that the matchmaking was
Holly stood there while Ignacio sat on the sofa. The two-thousand-square-foot living room had a huge window at the back. The sunlight streamed through and cast a soft glow over the room. It was indescribably warm and cozy.Holly and Ignacio weren't just husband and wife. They were family. As far as Holly was concerned, marrying him also meant gaining new parents. She finally had a family of her own. Ignacio extended his hands toward her. Holly felt a bit shy, but she placed her hand in his palm. He wrapped his hand around hers and gently pulled her to sit beside him. Then, Ignacio smoothed her hair, as if he were petting a beloved pet. His parents exchanged another look. Their faces were filled with contentment.Lyla came out with the dishes and happened to see this tender moment. She couldn't help but smile. "Mr. Ignacio really dotes on his wife."Anna smiled as well. "Mr. Ignacio cares deeply for Ms. Holly."Remy also smiled. "It's good for a man to cherish his wife. It k
Holly didn't want to hear it anymore. Ignacio reached out and stroked her hair gently. He spoke tenderly, "From the day we got our marriage certificate, I never planned on letting go. "What happened that night wasn't a coincidence. It was something I had planned for a long time."Holly's chest rose and fell with emotion. After a moment, she murmured and tried to regain her dignity, "I didn't realize you were such a pervert."Ignacio hadn't told her everything, but she could imagine how debauched the scene must have been. Holly's face was still warm when they got out of the car. Ignacio wrapped his arm around her as they entered the house. They carried the gifts that Anna had prepared. It was a gesture of goodwill for Holly's visit. Anna had chosen well. She selected items that Ignacio's parents loved.Jodie came to greet them as soon as they stepped inside. She ignored her son and took Holly's hand warmly. "Come in and sit down! Which fruit do you like? I'll cut some for

Marcella Ros
After reading up to chapter 191 I began to loose hope with this story; the thing is that I hate Mason and pity Zoe. I saw that there is no happy ending.
Jin Mo
At least gwen crippled gianne, though noha was never worthy male lead, poor zoe could never avenge herself, lilith had Mason's affection right till the end, makes me feel the tread will remain open for ever
Amber
also, noha who lost his dad should value his son most, shocked his son isn't as important as gianna's favour of prostitution herself for him, n question is, was she really not willing with those men. was she taken advantage of or is she playing a victim, did she not make a choice4moneu2sell herself
Amber
the story is beyond disgusting, noha has gone way past mason in torturing his wife, he is still sucking upto gianna, even willing to blind his wife for her not worth wasting money on it
Amber
noha has mental issues but honestly did author really had to make him a total scum sleeping with all whores he could lay his hands on.worst all gianna tried to kill his son n he went soft on her for past, is his son's life nothing to him n then keeping her company as a condition its sick novel
Amber
inspite of everything he has still not blocked lilith, thats clearly big red flag, ava cud deal with lilith,now that he knows he loves zoe being entangled with lilith is crapp i think zoe's miseries due2lilith arnt ending soon,even zoe losing hand isn't enough2punish lilith4mason
Cher Chu
fingers crossed its not boring scheming b*Tch win in aidan's party,lilith pushes herself n zoe in pool2c who is saved by masor, or simply falls n blames zoe2cause rift with mason zoe b ready2prove her innocence,mason should b willing2c evidence zoe has been slapped1c, now she needs2emerge victorious

nice story

I read the comments and decided not to read this novel. I really don’t like male characters like this Mason guy. Sounds like he stays bad throughout the novel.
