Chapter 1311
Janice continued, "You have no idea how many people in the company covet men like Mr. Xander."Moreover, Mr. Harrison has already..." Janice then thought of how Kevin looked so infatuated with another woman last night. She chose to keep quiet about it and did not speak further.She secretly glanced at Blake and found her lost in thought, seemingly not paying attention to what she was saying. She was also afraid Blake might ask about Kevin.Blake could never overcome the emotional obstacle she was facing. Even if others convinced her, she could not be persuaded.If brief sentences from others could bring solace to someone, there would not be so many people obsessed over someone.To cheer Blake up, Janice deliberately took her to see the drama they had talked about but never watched.They sat on the couch, but Blake remained gloomy.Janice said, "Blake, you still haven't eaten, right? Let me heat up the food. You wait here for me, and don't secretly eat the snacks alone."After J

Blake watched Kevin and Audrey being happy together and wanted to call out his name. But she could not utter a word. She felt extremely hurt, as if countless blades were slicing through her heart.She clenched her fists, pretending not to see them, and expressionlessly looked away. "Janice, I suddenly feel a little tired. I'm going back now."Janice shifted her gaze away from Kevin's face. "Okay, I'll walk with you."Blake calmly responded, "It's fine. I can go back by myself."After that, she walked away as though nothing was wrong. She walked in the opposite direction from Kevin and Audrey, not caring whether they saw her or not.When she reached the second floor, Blake could barely stand anymore; she instantly fell to the ground.Passersby thought she was trying to scam them."What's wrong with you?! Are you crazy?""Crazy woman!"Blake looked at the escalator with an intense gaze. Despite her inner turmoil, she managed to prop herself up and ran away hastily. She did not e

"Okay," Blake said.Upon hearing her response, Janice did not know whether to feel happy or sad for her.She wondered if Blake had truly accepted Liam or if she was acting like this because she found out Kevin had a fiancée after he came back.The traffic on the road was a bit congested. So, Liam only arrived half an hour later. Blake had been standing still at the mall's entrance, waiting for him.He held an umbrella and walked up to Blake. "Blake, I'll take you home."Janice saw Liam look at her, and she hurriedly waved her hand. "Mr. Xander, you don't need to worry about me. I've called a cab and won't go with you two. I'll go back to the company to cancel my leave."Liam nodded. "Okay. Thank you for taking care of Blake for the past few days. If you need anything from now on, you can find me."Janice replied, "No worries. Hurry up and take Blake away. It's raining heavily; don't let her catch a cold."Blake saw the couple walking out of the mall from the corner of her eye.

Liam's skin was smooth and flawless, without a single blemish. This made Blake, who often had acne, envy him.She felt much better after crying. It was as if everything had come into perspective. She asked, "Do you want to sleep on the bed?"Liam's eyes gleamed with joy as he looked at her. While he was in a dilemma, Blake had already lifted the blanket. He hesitated before speaking, "You...""Forget it if you don't want to," Blake said.After Liam got into bed, they slept side by side. When Blake rested her head on his arm, she felt a little dizzy. She believed she had caught a cold.In the moment of clarity, she felt like she still wanted to sleep. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not sleep soundly.Liam asked, "Do you want to eat something?"Blake's voice was hoarse. "I don't feel like eating. I want to sleep a little longer."Liam responded, "All right, go ahead and sleep. I'll be here with you."Blake said, "Now that he's going to get engaged to Audrey, I
Chapter 1315
Blake felt sad for a while after deleting Kevin's contact. Then, she experienced a sense of relief that she had never felt before.Back then, she was determined to be with Kevin. Now, she was equally determined to let him go instantly.Like Kevin, Blake never made decisions lightly, nor would she give up easily. But if she had to move on, she would not regret it either.At the hotel, Audrey said, "Blake must've misunderstood the situation. Why don't you let me explain it to her? I'll tell her that you only agreed to be engaged to me to appease those who wanted to deal with my family. Blake likes you so much, and you like her too, right?"Kevin remained silent. Audrey held his hands and could feel his whole body tensing.She knew he was just enduring the pain.Despite Kevin's cold demeanor, he was still human; he had emotions and desires. It was not that he did not have feelings for Blake. It was just that there were too many obstacles between them.Kevin responded, "You don't ne

Blake had been wanting to resign. She wanted to change her work environment and start anew.Cecilia approved her resignation. Liam was there with her at the company on the day she resigned.Her wedding date with Liam was quite soon, so they had to speed up the process. They did not invite many people to their wedding banquet, but it would be held grandly.On the way to the photography company, Blake suddenly thought of something. She said, "Liam, let's stop by the phone store."Liam replied, "Okay."He did not ask her why. After arriving at the phone store, Blake got a new SIM card and canceled the old one.She had also upgraded her phone to the latest model. She bought the same model for Liam, too.After they left the phone store, she handed the phone to him. "Consider this my first wedding gift to you. Liam, from now on, I'll try my best to be very, very good to you."Liam hugged Blake. "You don't need to treat me very well. I'm already very happy to be able to marry you."T

Liam told the photographers to pause the shoot.After Blake went to the dressing room upstairs, she lay on the couch without wanting to move. "I'll go change.""Do you need me to help you?" Liam asked.Blake was stunned for a moment.It was just an instinctive offer from Liam; he did not think much of it.He continued to say, "Sorry, I was...""It's okay. Come help me unzip; I can't reach it," Blake interrupted.She thought, 'Since I've made the decision, Liam and I will be a married couple from now on. After all, it's just my body; he'd already seen it last time.'Blake held Liam's hand and walked into the changing room. Unexpectedly, he leaned over, pressing her against the door, and held her chin as he kissed her.He said, "Blake, no matter what happens in the future, I'll always be loyal to you."Blake smiled slightly. "Okay. I trust you, the very nice Mr. Xander."The promise of 'always be loyal' was more valuable to Liam than the vows declared by the priest in the chur

Before Liam and Blake got back to the apartment, he had already bought many ingredients.Blake had basically moved into Liam's room. After she changed into her slippers and walked into the master bedroom to get her jacket, she noticed the wardrobe was full of her clothes. Only a few of Liam's shirts and pants that he normally wore were in there.She also found their underwear, originally placed under the clothes, neatly folded together in an open drawer.Blake stared blankly at the wardrobe as she suddenly felt annoyed. She threw her pajamas on the bed, grabbed her hair, and lowered her head anxiously. Her mind went completely blank, and she did not know what she was thinking about.It was not until Liam walked in that she snapped out of it. He asked, "Blake, what's wrong?"She shook her head. "I don't know. I think I'm having a headache. I just need to rest for a while, and then I'll be fine.""Sleep for a while. I'll call you when dinner is ready," Liam replied.He then caress
