Lilian added, “Chloe left a bit later than usual this morning. What held her up?”Chloe’s daily departure time was like clockwork, yet today she was nearly ten minutes late, which was why Lilian asked about it.Jane laughed. “You actually noticed that? I don’t even pay attention to exactly when she leaves every day. I only know that by the time her father and I return from our walk, she’s already gone.“By the time we reach home at night, she still hasn’t come back. She leaves early and returns late every single day, even busier than we were in our younger days. Even though we live together, we don’t even see her often.“Today I deliberately got up early just to wait for her. Otherwise, it’s really hard to see her.“I only have this one daughter. I originally wanted to pamper her endlessly and let her live freely without burdens, as long as she was happy and healthy. But she insisted on taking over the family business. It pains me so much, yet I can’t do anything about it.“My da

Jane followed Chloe out and watched as her daughter’s car drove away, followed closely by the bodyguards’ vehicle.After a long while, she muttered to herself, “Children are still cutest when they’re little.”When children were young, they stayed by their parents’ side every day and relied on them more.Once they grew up, though, they had to go to work, often leaving early and returning late due to company matters. Jane only got a little bit of time to talk to Chloe when she ate breakfast.Usually, there were very few phone calls and messages from her daughter.Even though Chloe came home every day, Jane still felt as though her daughter worked far away at the edge of the world.Everyone was busy.Chloe had made it clear that she would not take over Jane’s business, so Jane still had to manage it herself for now. In a few more years, when her energy declined, she would hand it over to her son.Chloe had inherited FC & Co., but Connor, the elder twin, could not possibly do nothi

Laurence fell silent for a moment before replying to Chloe with a voice message, “She did come out of the kitchen, but she eats very quickly. She finished in just two or three minutes. I was too busy talking to her, and before I knew it, she had already finished eating, washed the dishes, and gone out.“I hadn’t even started eating yet.”Chloe was speechless.Noelle was simply born to counter her brother.No matter how domineering her brother was outside, once he returned home and stood before Noelle, he could no longer act tough, simply because he doted on her too much.He could not bear to upset her.In the end, Chloe sent Laurence another message. “Serves you right!”He had video-called her for help and wasted her time. She even helped him talk to Noelle, but look what happened?Laurence covered his face. He really did deserve it.Chloe sent no more messages after that.She was preparing to head out for work.Jane asked, “How are Laurence and Noelle doing now?”“Still un
Chapter 5193
Chloe quickly ended the call.Laurence’s face reddened slightly. His sister’s words felt like a slap to his face, as though she was saying he was useless.He, however, truly had no way of dealing with Noelle.Knowing that the only people who could make Noelle compromise were the three ladies, he had no choice but to shamelessly bother Chloe.Back at Austin’s house, he had troubled Callia.Even Ben and Jane could not persuade Noelle.Noelle said nothing. She silently returned to the kitchen, brought out her unfinished breakfast, and sat down at one end of the dining table, deliberately keeping her distance from Laurence.“Mr. Laurence, you think my breakfast is too bland, so what I eat is indeed different from yours.”Noelle only gave that one explanation before falling silent again and continuing her breakfast.Once finished, she still needed to go outside and inspect Laurence’s car, worried that someone might tamper with it.Noelle knew how to repair cars. Even Laurence hims

As soon as Callia started her vacation, she came over specifically because of the cool weather.Noelle still lent a hand with the work.After tending to the medicinal herbs, the two of them headed back toward the main house ten plus minutes later.In the dining room, only Laurence’s breakfast was set out.Noelle always ate in the kitchen. No matter how many times Laurence spoke to her about it, she still refused to sit at the same table with him for meals.Standing beside the table, Laurence called out in a stern voice with a straight face. “Noelle!”Noelle, who had just been about to eat breakfast, hurried out when she heard him calling.“Where’s your breakfast?”“Mr. Laurence, I’ll eat in the kitchen.”The kitchen was spacious, and there was also a small dining table inside, so eating there was no different.It was just a little warmer inside.Laurence took out his phone, clicked on Chloe’s contact, and started a video call.At this hour, Chloe had not gone to work yet an
Chapter 5191
While Noelle was checking Laurence’s room for intruders, he wanted to say something to her countless times, yet in the end, he did not utter a single word.He simply let her finish the inspection and silently walk out afterward.The two of them clearly lived under the same roof, with their rooms right next to each other, yet at times, he felt as though an endless distance separated them.He knew Noelle had feelings for him, just as he did for her. Yet neither of them had ever pierced through that thin veil between them.His great vengeance remained unresolved, so he did not dare think about matters of love.As for Noelle, she had engraved Doc’s words deeply into her heart and faithfully followed them. Though she loved Laurence deeply, she always positioned herself as a bodyguard, servant, assistant, and the like.She had never once thought about becoming his woman or his wife.It was not only that she lacked courage, but also that she could not cross that psychological barrier.

This situation shows us that Serenity is not an alcohol type of a person.Serenity is lucky Zachary has begun to fall inlove with her.
I have been following this story a few months back. My goodness, it's already getting boring as the author keeps on dragging the story, let alone updating 4 chapters only daily. What a waste.
I dont think this author care. he/she must be enjoying this right now just like all those GREEDY author's on this app.
It’s a good story with its plots and twists but I’m slowly losing interest with the repetition of info and slow uploading of chapters. If this keeps going I might just drop it.
Please stop repeating the same info over and over and over again. We don't need to be reminded more than once how long Liberty was dating Hank, that parent's died, about a 6 month contract etc, etc, etc.... it's a waste of our money and makes me want to never read another one of your stories.
Please speed this up. I really enjoy the plot but it's ridiculous that the book is almost 700 chapters long already. I could easily condense the current content down to less than 15 chapters and still have all the plot and emotions present. It's turning into a waste of my money and time.
Arrrgggggf!!! I think it’s best I wait a few weeks. Maybe then I won’t be so damn frustrated..jeez!!!
I've read all the available chapters and now there is very little each day. I don't want to lose interest but I usually do when I reach this point in one of these stories. Please can we get a large chapter dump?? I'd like to keep reading.
Can we please make more progress with this relationship, it really starting to drag and I am not enjoying it as before.
Please upload more chapters..
