"There won't be.""Take a painkiller first, then we'll go have breakfast."He helped her sit up against the headboard, placed a pillow behind her, and handed her a glass of warm water and a pill."Open your mouth!"She obediently opened her mouth and swallowed the pill.Whether it was psychological or not, her headache seemed to lessen almost immediately."You're so good to me, husband," she said, smiling sweetly at him."Flattery won't help. Resign immediately. I don't want my wife out socializing, drinking, and getting taken advantage of by others." If he hadn't arrived in time last night, it wouldn't have been just a simple case of being taken advantage of.If she hadn't fainted last night, he would have beaten that despicable guy to a pulp."I know. I'll submit my resignation today.""Just rest. I'll handle it.""Okay." She lazily lay back on the bed, not wanting to move, holding onto his hand."Did I throw up last night?" she asked."You threw up everywhere! You even soiled your

After each round of the show, the outfits worn by the models were quickly snapped up. Soon, the dozens of outfits Luccie had meticulously prepared were all bought, and those who didn't get one immediately placed orders for the new season.The final round featured wedding dresses, and the last model showcasing the most important piece was none other than the designer herself, Luccie.In a wedding dress of classic design, adorned with countless jewels, Luccie appeared even more elegant and stunning.As soon as she stepped out, Luccie received thunderous applause, but no one rushed to buy this special wedding dress.As the spoiled rich girl walked the runway, shouts filled the hall, "Where's the groom? Where's the groom?""Honey, is there really a groom?" Julie whispered to Ryo."No idea." He shrugged.Eleanor sighed deeply.Luccie had walked halfway down the runway in her wedding dress. Everyone thought there wouldn't be a groom, so some were already preparing to place orders for the dr

Unable to walk properly, the butler carried her back. As they passed the living room, she caught a glimpse of the tall figure standing beside her father, holding a glass of wine, smiling and chatting—completely different from the unkind man outside.Sensing her gaze, he turned slightly. Their eyes met briefly, his deep, inscrutable gaze deeply shaking her young heart.After just one look, he turned back, continuing to converse amiably.That was their first meeting, and she couldn't forget it.The second time they met was five years later.He was the same, but she had grown up into a vibrant young woman. However, in his eyes, she was invisible—he didn't remember her at all.Their second meeting wasn't at the Sherwood house but in his hotel suite.During the global financial crisis, the Sherwood family business suffered greatly, declining rapidly, and the partnership with Sunflower Real Estate was canceled.Knowing he was visiting Malaysia again, her father shamelessly brought his daug

Ryo rubbed his temples. "I'm Norman's brother. It's normal for him to think of me and for me to care for him. Don't overthink it. Our baby won't be happy.""Are you annoyed by me?" she asked, feeling wronged."Silly, why would I be? I'm just worried you'll overthink and be unhappy.""Because I'm silly, you find me annoying.""No matter how silly, I love you.""But don't men prefer smart women?""Believe me, men prefer smart daughters, not wives.""Really?""Really.""But what if our smart daughter can't find a partner?""Our daughter will be an exception."Ryo's sweet words finally cheered her up, making her forget her unfounded jealousy."Honey, you must take me to my brother's wedding next month.""Of course. If you're well, we'll go. Maybe even take a trip. Now, let's have some afternoon tea.""Carry me.""Sure, I'll carry my lovely wife and our baby to tea."Ryo effortlessly lifted Eleanor, taking her to enjoy a sweet afternoon tea.Norman, refusing to have strangers invade his sp

When she came back with another blanket, he had already closed his eyes, seemingly asleep.****Waking up to find the girl wrapped around him like an octopus, Norman felt a helplessness.She was like a bandit playing the victim, perfectly fitting her.This girl seemed to forget she was next to a patient, kicking off her blanket halfway through the night, then crawling into his when she got cold, rubbing against him. Pushing her away worked only for a while before she was back.He really didn't expect sharing a bed with a girl to be so troublesome.And now, early in the morning, she started rubbing against him again.His legs were injured, but his middle leg was fine. Morning arousal was a natural male response, unrelated to any desire for her.Suppressing the warmth spreading through him, he tried to push her away and reach for the wheelchair.Still half-asleep, she lost his warmth and instinctively rolled over, eventually falling off the bed with a thud. Norman, wrestling with the wh
