"Harper, I didn’t make you wait too long, did I?"

The owner of the approaching footsteps walked with a broad smile on his face, staring at the girl without blinking. He was a man dressed in a white shirt and black pants, moving steadily toward her. Judging by his face, he appeared to be slightly older than thirty.

The moment Harper turned her head, her brow furrowed. However, what truly shocked her was not his sudden appearance.

H-him... isn’t he the waiter from that restaurant? Did he follow me on purpose?

"Do I know you?" Harper asked coldly as the man stopped no more than three meters in front of her.

His persistent behavior had begun to bother her enough that she no longer felt the need to be polite.

"Why are you approaching me?"

"Hahaha, oh, beautiful, do you truly not recognize me? Don’t you remember someone whispering something in your ear six months ago?"

"Whispering something?"

Harper’s face showed confusion for a moment, but then, realization struck her, and a look of shock

    "Harper, what are you saying? Why are you getting so emotional?" Seeing the anger on the young woman's face, Shadow had no choice but to back down slightly."Don't you still want to join the sect I told you about?" the ninja asked quietly. "You've helped me, so of course, I will fulfill my promise to help you."When Harper agreed to help Shadow seize the Golden Nirvana, she did so not only to please Alistair. She had also asked Shadow to help her join the Dark Star sect, believing it would be beneficial for her and her family in the future.Harper actually knew little about this sect. It was only because she saw Shadow as one of its members that the desire to join suddenly emerged in her heart."Forget it!"Shaking her head, Harper no longer had any interest in joining the sect. After learning the ninja’s true nature, that desire vanished without a trace. In her mind, if the ninja was like this, then the sect must be no different."If you can act so cruelly, then the sect you follow m

    "I-it..."The firm expression and sharp gaze on Harper’s face faded, replaced by evident hesitation. Fear, panic, and anxiety filled her heart.How did this man know about that? And how was she supposed to explain to him—and to everyone else, especially Lord Everstone—that she had never slept with Marc, let alone had any kind of relationship with him? What could she say now?As these questions suddenly flooded Harper’s mind, Shadow abruptly grabbed both of her hands and shoved her against the alley wall."What else do you have to say now? Spending the night with another man and then acting all composed before your future father-in-law—you’re clearly not a good girl," Shadow sneered.As if his words made it even harder for Harper to think clearly, she seemed utterly frozen as the ninja yanked her hands upward and restrained them with just one of his.Then, with his other hand, Shadow roughly tugged at the belt of Harper’s bathrobe, this time tearing it so that the robe fell open even w

    "Bastard! Get your filthy hands away from me!"A loud shout echoed through the alley. But it wasn’t Harper who screamed.Even though her heart was shattered, her mind could still think. If Shadow was yelling at someone, didn’t that mean there was someone else besides the two of them?The girl opened her eyes, and tears streamed down her face even more."Marc..."That was the only word she managed to utter as her sobs grew louder.In her distressed state, she couldn’t tell if the figure before her was really Marc or just a hallucination. Yet, deep inside, she was inexplicably certain that this man would never abandon her."You're the one who should get that foul mouth of yours off my hand."Marc’s icy gaze was locked onto Shadow, his hand stretched out in front of Harper’s chest, blocking the ninja from touching her. But that only resulted in Shadow accidentally pressing his lips against Marc’s hand."You insolent brat! You still have the guts to interfere with me?!"Harboring an immen

    Five hours later.Harper had no idea how long she had been unconscious when her eyelids fluttered slightly. At the same time, her awareness gradually returned, and the last thing she remembered was how her head had suddenly felt incredibly light and calm before an overwhelming drowsiness overtook her.When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a sofa inside a hotel suite. A sigh of relief escaped her lips—it must have been Marc who had carried her there.Turning her head to the side, her eyes widened in surprise upon seeing more than a hundred pizza boxes neatly arranged on the floor. All of them were open, and, of course, completely empty.A wide smile spread across her lips. She knew exactly who had eaten all that food. If she hadn’t seen Marc ordering an absurd amount of food before, this sight would have surely shocked her to the core.Lifting her gaze toward the sofa just ahead of her, she saw the young man staring intently at a single pizza box on the table in front of

    "How does it taste? Not bad, right?"Harper beamed as she watched Marc devour the steak in front of him with an expression of pure delight.After the pizza war that ended in Marc’s victory, Harper had pouted and insisted that he accompany her to dinner at one of her favorite restaurants. That was how they ended up here, on the top floor of Epicure—an eight-story restaurant, one of the two finest dining establishments in Wyndham."Perfect! I'm at a loss for words to describe it," Marc said, flashing a broad smile. "The aroma of the meat, the flavor of the sauce—everything is just right."That was all he said before returning to his meal, cutting into the sirloin on his plate with unmasked enthusiasm. The expression of satisfaction on his face was completely genuine.Seeing how heartily Marc enjoyed his food, Harper couldn't help but smile as well. For some reason, it pleased her immensely that he liked her favorite restaurant.Slowly, she found herself feeling more comfortable around M

    "I'm afraid you'll only make things worse if you go see them now," Marc continued.Harper might have a million reasons to confront Nicholas for his huge mistake—cheating on her with another girl behind her back. But at the same time, Harper had also come to this restaurant with another young man."If Nicholas finds out who you're here with, he'll have the perfect excuse to accuse you of doing the same thing."Marc was never worried about being mistaken as Harper’s lover because that was never his intention, nor had he done anything inappropriate. He was always ready to face any situation and anyone who came his way.However, things were different for Harper. If Nicholas really turned the tables on her, she would be in a much tougher position."It would be best if he didn’t know we were here."Hearing Marc’s words, Harper didn’t respond. But instead of walking away, she returned to her seat.For some reason, she didn’t feel annoyed when Marc said that, unlike the usual irritation she f

    Shaken to the core, Harper rested her head on Marc's shoulder—a gesture that signified he was no longer a stranger to her and that she had begun to trust him. At the same time, Marc neither pushed her away nor showed excessive concern."It's not your fault at all if the people around you betray you or walk away from you. At the very least, this is a great opportunity to see them for who they truly are. Everyone deserves happiness, including you. What they did—that will be the best material for making the right decisions about what to do next."Hearing Marc's words, Harper cried even harder for a while, even clinging to his arm. However, it seemed to ease her heart, and her sobs gradually subsided until she finally lifted her head from his shoulder."Thank you, Marc," she murmured weakly, wiping her tears."So, where are we going now? Should we just head back to the hotel?""No." Harper shook her head. "Just drive. I'll tell you where we're going later.""Alright."The soft growl of th

    "What did I just hear? A girl’s voice?" Leonie furrowed her brows. Though the voice was faint in her ears, she was certain it belonged to a girl."Could that be… Marc’s girlfriend?" Curiosity grew within her, especially after hearing Marc’s slightly hesitant tone.Even so, she quickly realized that she shouldn’t stay on the phone for too long. "Whoever that girl is, I’d better not disturb Marc right now," she thought. The young man had gone on vacation. It made more sense to let him enjoy his time off."Marc, I think I should hang up now. Don’t worry about things here and just enjoy your vacation. I can handle everything in the meantime.""Thank you, Mrs. Griffin," Marc replied before ending the call."Mom, why do you look tense? What happened?"Sasha, who had just entered the inn’s lobby after returning from campus, immediately approached her mother and threw out the question."Ah, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about some ideas for renovating a few parts of the inn.""Mom, oh my

    A night before.When Marc sneaked into the Winslow mansion, it took him only a few minutes to familiarize himself with every corner of the grand house. He was just about to execute his plan when, by chance, his ears caught a conversation between several women not far from him."Do you think Miss Winslow is lucky to be forming a family connection with Lord Everstone? It’s nothing like people imagine!"A woman in a yellow dress, holding a glass of wine, waved her free hand while shaking her head, looking pityingly at the young lady in question."Let’s say she is the most beautiful girl in Wyndham, or even all of Walenstein, but that’s not what that baron is after. In his eyes, there’s only money and power. After marrying his son to her, I’m sure that bastard will arrange for his son to marry another woman as a second wife, then a third, and so on. Truly pitiful, actually.""Hahaha! Such irony!" another woman in a purple dress, with a cigarette between her lips, chimed in."Honestly, if

    Meanwhile, in the living room on the first floor.Marc hadn't expected Harper to suddenly run behind him, eavesdropping on his conversation. However, that wasn't what truly surprised and worried him.Holding his phone in one hand, he gestured for the girl to get dressed immediately. After that, as if nothing had happened, he put on a smile while watching her head up to the third floor.Just moments ago, Marc had been staring at his phone screen for a long time when Leonie suddenly called him. And when the woman ended the call, Marc once again had to find a way to keep this secret from Harper.Yes, Marc had to keep his patient list a secret. Other than himself and Helma, no one else was allowed to see it."Thank goodness Harper didn't see it," Marc muttered. He then pulled his hand from behind his back and looked at the names on the patient list."The provincial capital? In two days?"The next patient on the list was an elderly man residing in the provincial capital of Walenstein. Acco

    Climbing the stairs to her room on the third floor, Harper occasionally cast her gaze downward, where Marc looked back at her, smiling and nodding."I must be going crazy!"Harper whispered weakly, barely audible."How could I even think about flirting with him? And while fully conscious, too!"When she had stepped out of the pool and entered the living room earlier, she saw Marc still on his phone call. She shouldn't have thought much about it, right?And yet, instead of heading straight to the third floor, a strange and baseless concern suddenly crossed her mind."What if he's calling his girlfriend?" The voice in her head was loud, making her stop in her tracks and glance at Marc for a moment. "Are you really going to let this man slip away from you?"Harper wasn't sure if she could still think clearly. The next thing she knew, she saw herself walking toward Marc, deliberately trying to interrupt him.She could feel it—her heart refused to let Marc talk to whoever was on the other
