Stephen couldn't escape Fiona's beauty. Her oval face with gray eyes and pink lips looked so beautiful. Her slim waist, hugged by a soft dress, was perfect in his arms. The passion in Stephen's heart was growing, demanding to be satisfied."Fiona," Stephen whispered in a soft voice, as if hugging her waist was not enough for him.This sudden incident shocked Fiona and made her freeze. She stared at every detail of the sandalwood-scented blonde man's face, but her face was tense. She didn't know why her body was responding in a way she didn't expect.Stephen knew he wanted to kiss Fiona right then and there. However, before his lips touched hers, he remembered his promise not to rush her into a more intimate touch before she was ready. He pulled back his lips."Sorry, I didn't mean to—" Stephen let go of his grip and took a deep breath to relieve the turmoil of desire within him.As soon as Stephen released Fiona's waist, it was as if her airway widened. Strangely, even though she was r
With her arms folded across her chest, Fiona looked at Stephen. She was still hesitant to accept Stephen's invitation in her heart."Do you not believe in the credibility of Mr. Roy Potter?" asked Stephen, attempting to read Fiona's thoughts.Fiona shook her head immediately. "No! I believe him!""Then why are you still hesitant to accept my invitation to dinner at the golden chamber?" demanded Stephen.Fiona sat in the living room for a long time, considering various possible answers to the questions in her head. Unfortunately, she could not find any of those answers, so she gave up."Okay, fine. I'll come with you." Fiona got up from the couch, and she and Stephen stepped outside the penthouse and into the VIP elevator.Fiona did not speak with Stephen all the way to the golden chamber. After the elevator opened, beautiful maids in black uniforms with white lace bowed their heads, welcoming Stephen and Fiona.The golden chamber's door opened automatically, revealing an empty room. "W
Stephen's honesty left Fiona speechless. She had indeed become Stephen's wife, so it was only natural for him to want children with her. As a wealthy man, he also needed children to inherit his wealth.In silence, Stephen stared at Fiona's worried face. He wasn't going to force her to share his bed, but that didn't mean he was going to sit idly by without making a move.As if a savior, a waitress arrived with the starter dish, and Fiona heaved a sigh of relief.Stephen said kindly, trying to ease Fiona's badmood, "Ah, our appetizer is here! Let's eat first and continue chatting while we eat."For a moment, both Fiona and Stephen forgot about the topic of children. Stephen chose to discuss Fiona's activities outside of campus.Stephen smiled proudly at Fiona, "So you're raising money to build libraries at the orphanage?" Fiona answered casually, "Yeah, my friends and I have been doing this since our freshman year of college."As a former orphan, Stephen knew firsthand the simple lives
Stephen's heart raced as he approached Fiona, his mind consumed by excitement. His footsteps echoed softly in the opulent room, each one drawing him closer to the woman who held his heart. Stephen cherished these moments, where he could witness the genuine vulnerability etched on her face, captured within her clear gray eyes.Stephen settled himself on the edge of the bed. He couldn't tear his gaze away from Fiona, his admiration mingling hung in the air. The brunette beauty, aware of his intense scrutiny, found solace in nervously biting her lower lip.Stephen finally asked, "Do you mean to say that you are ready to bear my children?" This was a moment that held the power to shape their future together, and he yearned for Fiona's answer to be affirmative.A rosy hue adorned Fiona's cheeks as she shook her head. Her words, though not what Stephen had expected, struck a chord within him. "Not now," she murmured, her voice tinged with both regret and a sense of unwavering love. "I just w
In the morning, Stephen woke up feeling better. The lingering vanilla scent on his body made him want to stay in bed. He had never slept so soundly in a very long time.Sunlight flooded the room through the wide glass windows as Stephen's eyes slowly opened. His hands fumbled for the brown-haired woman who had nearly driven him crazy last night. "Fiona..."Unfortunately, although there was still a lingering vanilla scent on the bed, that slender figure was no longer beside Stephen."Fiona!" Stephen immediately sat up in bed and looked around the spacious room. However, there was no sign of Fiona.After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Stephen left the bedroom and searched the living room, but Fiona was still nowhere to be found.As Stephen frantically searched for Fiona, the sweet smell of roasting beef tempted his nostrils."Could Fiona be in the kitchen?"Stephen stepped into the kitchen and found Fiona wearing short blue jeans, a black T-shirt, and a white apron, preparing r
After only a short wait, a taxi pulled up in front of Stephen, who had just left the Magnificent Emerald hotel area."Good morning, Young Master!" said the brown-haired taxi driver, who was well-built."Jeez, Oliver! Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on Fiona? What are you doing here?" Stephen's face turned red. Instantly Stephen's concern for Fiona increased. Also, he didn't like it when his orders were disobeyed."My apologies, Young Master. I followed William's orders, according to the Hudson family's standard security procedures," Oliver replied calmly, knowing that his master would be displeased."Security procedures?" Stephen smiled exasperatedly. "Is he your master now?"Oliver immediately shook his head. "No, Young Master, you are still my master. However, your safety is our priority now," he explained. As a multi-talented bodyguard, Oliver would never commit treason. He only wanted to provide the best protection for his master."But what about Fiona? She's my top priority! I don
"Oliver! Damn it!" Stephen shouted worriedly, prompting Di to move to the front seat as Oliver's condition prevented him from continuing to drive. Stephen fired at the SUV again.While the SUV driver was busy dodging shots, Stephen said to Oliver, "Give me the wheel!" Oliver obeyed and shifted to the next seat.The anger in Stephen's chest was unbearable. He felt like he would explode any moment.A yellow traffic light loomed ahead. He had to speed past the crossroad quickly to escape from the pursuit of the black SUV. Luckily, he made it just in time before the traffic light turned red.The driver of the black SUV, obsessed with chasing Stephen, tried to do the same, but was too late. When he crossed the intersection, the traffic light had turned red, causing a truck to hit the black SUV and send it flying ten meters away.“Thank goodness…” Stephen breathed a sigh of relief."Do you have a first aid kit, Oliver?" he asked."Yes, I do," said Oliver, holding his injured shoulder."Can y
"Master Stephen, I suggest you change your clothes before you go outside," said the butler as he noted Stephen's stained and messy outfit, splattered with Oliver's blood."Alright," Stephen agreed.Within moments, Stephen emerged from the mansion wearing a crisp white shirt, black pants, and a black tie.As Stephen stepped outside, he saw a shiny red hatchback parked in the yard. It appeared new and sporty, and Stephen immediately took a liking to it."Good afternoon, Master Stephen. I'm Vincent Slater, your temporary driver," said a tall, slender man with long black hair that fell to his chest."Nice to meet you," Stephen replied with a faint smile.Vincent opened the passenger door and ushered Stephen inside. The car, though not luxurious, was quite comfortable. Stephen had deliberately chosen an inexpensive car to avoid unwanted attention while posing as a rookie model."Take me to the X7 modeling agency office," Stephen instructed.As Vincent started the engine, the car slowly left
