Chapter 1186
Blake had a rare peaceful slumber. She was curled up in the bed. When she stretched, she felt the spot next to her on the bed was cold. Blake was suddenly reminded of something and immediately opened her eyes. She saw that Kevin was missing and had swiftly woken up. She ran out to the living room without putting on her slippers and saw Kevin in the kitchen.Blake let out a sigh of relief. When she saw him in his pajamas pouring water from a jug, she quickly walked over. She took over the jug and helped him pour a cup of water."Here you go," Blake gestured.Kevin took over the cup of water from Blake and saw her bare feet. He chided her, "Take care of your appearance; go and put on some shoes."Blake had just woken up, and her hair was a mess. She scratched her head and muttered, "I was just worried you had run away."After that, she followed Kevin out of the kitchen. She nagged him, "Your wounds are going to take a few days to heal. There's no more bandage and gauze at home so wh

Cecilia's eyes narrowed, "I'll give you three more days at most."The person gritted their teeth and said with determination, "Okay, Ms. Samford."'Madelyn, you better stay hidden this time and never show your face again. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to end you. Everyone who backs you up this time will meet the same fate as those who supported you in the previous life. They'll all drop like flies because of you.'After Cecilia wrapped up things at the company, she headed to the hospital. The whole twentieth floor was reserved. In the monitored ward, with bodyguards at every turn, a nurse had just finished administering medicine to the man lying unconscious on the bed. She then walked out with the discarded medical supplies and happened to meet Cecilia, who was walking to the ward. "Ms. Samford."Seeing the tray in her hands, Cecilia frowned, "Thanks for all your hard work. How's Zach's condition?"The nurse looked young, and Cecilia had not seen her before. She checked out the nurs

Laughter echoed through the ward. Cecilia said, "Madelyn is truly useless. She's gotten a second chance at life. She wanted to change, but what did she manage to change? The Jent family fell, Hayson died, you're by my side, and Jardin Corporation remains mine. As long as I find the will you left for Madelyn, I'll nip it in the bud before you wake up. Even in this lifetime, I'll ensure you two can never be together again."Cecilia leaned in, whispering slowly into Zach's ear, "This is payback for what you owed me in the past life."For some reason, Blake's eyelid suddenly twitched when she pushed the shopping cart. A sudden rush of anxiety filled her heart, giving her a bad feeling. She rarely experienced this kind of foreboding. Whenever she did, it usually meant something unfavorable was about to happen.Blake spent a calm evening with Kevin, which was rare. She bought a bunch of ingredients, planning to make a candlelit dinner that night. She even opened a bottle of Kevin's stored

Blake immediately stood up, almost getting angry at his blunt approach. "Are you stupid? Can't you have a bit of tact? I just wanted you to compliment me by saying, 'You look beautiful tonight.' Why's that so hard for you to get?"Blake gestured with both hands from her waist down to her hip area. "Am I not sexy? Don't I look good?"Watching her frustrated expression, Kevin said calmly, "I don't know if you're considered good-looking now. Since the dinner is ready, let's eat." After finishing, Kevin, who wore sleepwear and lacked any romantic flair, stood up and left the study.Only a few tube lights were on in the dim living room, creating a romantic atmosphere. The rose petals were scattered around the dining table. Whether a man or a woman, no one could remain indifferent in this kind of setting. However, Kevin was unromantic.Blake looked at Kevin as he turned on the lights. He said, "How can we eat with the lights off? You can't see anything!"Blake scowled and turned off the

The inability to vent, tormenting to the point of driving Kevin insane.He had encountered various women. After all, the transactions were either about money or women in the business-oriented world. He had witnessed some debauched situations, but over the years, he never got involved with those women, especially the attractive ones. He believed the more attractive a woman with no background, the more likely she would become a bargaining chip eventually. He never got involved with those who had multiple sexual partners."Blake, I'm warning you for the last time. Stop this!"Blake picked up the red wine from the dining table, drank more than half a glass, then passed it to him from her mouth, "It's such an expensive wine. It'll be a waste if you don't drink with me."After saying that, she poured a little more and pretended to spill it on his neck accidentally. "Look, why am I so clumsy? I accidentally spilled the wine here. Shall I help you lick it clean?"Blake sat against his ere

Blake woke up sore all over. Last night was her first time after all, and she was not quite used to it yet. She found herself in a new set of pajamas, with Kevin who had been beside her already gone. As she heard noises outside the room, she stopped stretching. Noticing a tube of ointment on the bedside table, Blake picked it up and read the label. It was for reducing swelling and relieving pain.She thought to herself, 'This time, he's been considerate.'Kevin was busy with something outside. Thinking of his injuries, Blake put on her shoes and got out of bed. She walked over and opened the door. The mess on the dining table in the living room had been cleaned up. Upon seeing Kevin sweeping the floor, Blake approached quietly and hugged him from behind. "Good morning, darling!"Kevin replied, "There's soup in the pot. Go drink it now."Hearing the unnaturalness in his tone, Blake knew he must be feeling shy. She could even see the redness behind his ears. Their scents were the sam

"How long is that? Your reply clearly shows that you don't want to be responsible for me," Blake pressed, her frustration over Kevin's vagueness evident.Kevin looked at Blake with an unreadable gaze, as if observing a complaining woman. "What do you want, then?""I just want a timeframe from you," Blake insisted. "Even if it's three years, or five, I'll wait for your return. It's not the length of the wait that scares me, but the uncertainty of not knowing when, or if, you'll come back.""Let's not discuss these pointless matters. Finish your soup," Kevin said, picking up the laundry basket and heading to the master bedroom's bathroom to load the washing machine.Undeterred, Blake followed him into the bathroom. She waited until he finished with the clothes, then pushed him against the wall, standing on her tiptoes to confront the taller Kevin."Don't think running away will solve anything. You can leave me, but you have two choices. Either we get married now or have a child with

At that moment, Kevin and Blake remembered the soup in the kitchen. Kevin, still naked, carried Blake in a deep embrace, eliciting a startled moan from her as they made their way to the kitchen. The soup in the pot had boiled over when they turned it off, creating a mess.After their final round, Blake lay in bed for about an hour before waking up. They went downstairs for dinner. She took him to a steakhouse in a mall across their neighborhood. A hearty and comforting meal was perfect for this winter season. The food was still steaming hot when served."I've already talked to my aunt about us. She wants to meet you. When will you come with me to see her? She'll definitely like you because you're tall and handsome. But you have to be nice to me in front of her."Since Kevin had injuries, he could not eat fatty food, so Blake ordered some light and comforting dishes. Not knowing his preferences, she avoided ordering foods she disliked and opted for more standard meats and vegetables.
