Rosalie understood River’s need to protect the children, so she agreed.The two of them coordinated to ensure their statements would be nearly identical. Otherwise, people might suspect they were lying.After all, their encounter had been a genuine coincidence.Just before Rosalie hung up, River asked, “So, about my blind date at noon—are you still arranging it? And are the ten sets of clothes you owe me ready?“Are you giving them to me at lunch when you introduce me to my blind date, or some other time?”Rosalie paused briefly before answering, “We’re still on for it. The blind date is at La Grande Solville. It’s one of my family’s properties, so security and privacy are guaranteed. As the eldest daughter, if I demand discretion, they won’t dare leak a word about it.”River silently sighed in relief.His biggest fear had been that Rosalie would cancel everything because of the tabloid.Luckily, she had not.Thank goodness he had made her sign that agreement. Having it in bla

Moreover, Rosalie was the vice president of Summit Group and the eldest young lady of the Lafayettes.Everyone knew the two were sworn rivals. If news broke that they were secretly married, it would be so explosive that it would be sure to catch people’s attention.Rosalie asked, “Some phones require you to delete photos twice to completely erase them. Once from the album, and then again from the ‘Recently Deleted’ folder. Did you only delete them once?”River replied, “I just deleted them from his phone’s album. I didn’t think much about it at the time. I assumed deleting them from the album was enough.”Rosalie was speechless for a moment. “No wonder.”“I’ll go check the article now and get them to take it down.”Rosalie scoffed, “Countless people have already seen it. What’s the point of deleting it now?”“Then, how about we issue a joint statement clarifying things?” River suggested carefully. “We can say the people in the photos aren’t us, just lookalikes. What do you think

“Right! It’s impossible. Absolutely impossible!”The two receptionists refused to believe the tabloid.The tabloid carried a skeptical tone and consisted entirely of media speculation instead of actual facts.The two receptionists were not the only ones who received the push notification for the tabloid. Everyone had.However, Crest Co. and Summit Group employees were just about the only people who would bother clicking it. Some regular citizens might also take a look if they were interested in entertainment news, but those who were not would just delete it without a second thought.Still, it was enough to shock the employees of both companies. Everyone who knew River and Rosalie personally called them after seeing this piece of news.River had only just arrived at the office and had not sat down yet when Rosalie’s call came through.He picked up the call as he pulled his chair away from his desk and sat down.With a smile, he asked Rosalie, “Morning, Ms. Lafayette. You’re call

The two receptionists greeted him with particularly sweet voices.River smiled and responded to each of them in turn.Once he had walked past, the two receptionists whispered to each other.“Mr. York seems especially radiant today. He’s so handsome! I come to work early every day and never leave late, just so I can catch an extra glimpse of him. Seeing Mr. York every day and getting to admire his good looks puts me in such a good mood.”The other receptionist nodded in agreement. “Same here. Mr. York is seriously so handsome. I wonder who’ll be lucky enough to marry him someday. I wish Cupid would shoot Mr. York with an arrow for me. If I could marry him, I’d laugh in my sleep.”Her colleague chuckled. “You’re not the only one with the same daydreams.”Many of the young female employees in the company harbored similar fantasies.Unfortunately, none of them had ever come true.In the almost six years since River had joined Crest Co., countless women had fallen for him, but not a

“They said they miss you and your sister, too. We’ll go home the day after tomorrow. Your cousin Sonny is already back in Wiltspoon.“The Johnsons will also be visiting us next week.”Serenity was not extending their stay in Solville not just because her husband was urging them to go home, but also because Ben Young-Johnson and his wife would be bringing their children to the York family home.Despite their busy schedules, they all made time for the kids to get together, setting aside work to accompany them to their gathering.“Will Laurence come too?”Among the Johnson children, Heath’s favorite was actually Laurence, followed closely by Chloe.“Of course. He’s your cousin Sonny’s best friend. They only get to see each other during summer and winter breaks.”Heath was elated. “Then we should hurry back, Mom. I want to learn self-defense from Laurence. He’s the best at it, and he even knows how to treat illnesses.”After six years of training, Laurence’s martial arts skills wer

Serenity let her daughter stand on the bed as she helped her out of her pajamas and into the little dress. Once dressed, Lil’ Pie insisted on being carried to the mirror to admire herself.“Such a little diva. My Lil’ Pie looks beautiful in anything.”Serenity tapped her daughter’s cute little nose but indulged her anyway, carrying her to the mirror. After a moment, Serenity asked her daughter, “Pretty, right? This dress was a gift from Aunt Jazz.”“Pretty,” Callia answered seriously. “I’m pretty.”Serenity could not help but laugh at her daughter’s confident and vain earnestness.After changing Lil' Pie’s shoes, Serenity took her hand and led her out of the room. “Come on, let’s go wake your brother up.”Heath’s room was next door. At six years old, he was too old to sleep with his mother. His father had insisted he move to his own room by the age of three.When he was first banished to the nursery, the little boy had cried for a long time, often dragging his pillow and blanket
