Mila could tell that Nathan was feeling off. She gently stroked his head and asked, "What's bothering you?""I just want to hold you," Nathan whispered."Are you hungry?" Mila gently touched his back, feeling a surge of sympathy."No.""Are you feeling tired?""I wouldn't feel tired if I could hold you." His weariness seemed more emotional than physical."Let's head to our room. I'll give you a massage," Mila said sincerely.Nathan chuckled and asked, "What kind of massage?"His tone was suggestive, and Mila got the hint right away. She patted his shoulder, "I mean it. When I used to care for Grandma, I picked up a few massage tricks."Nathan tenderly held her hand. "Your hands are so delicate. I don't want to tire you out. I'll skip the massage. Holding you is enough to make me content."Moved by his words, Mila kissed his forehead. She cradled his face and looked into his eyes. "When you first came in, you seemed really down. What's going on?""So, you jumped on me on purp

Phoebe burst into the fitting room. She quickly pulled Mila out and positioned herself protectively before her. "Mila, are you okay?"Salespeople from the store gathered around, their eyes fixed on the unfolding scene."Darling?" Lillian approached with worry etched on her face.She supported Yale's arm, bending down to find him clutching his crotch. Seeing the sweat on his forehead and the pain on his face, she felt sorry for him. "What happened? Did Wanda hurt you?"The situation was clear. This was a women's clothing store, so naturally, the changing room was intended for females.Therefore, when a man appeared in the fitting room and ended up doubled over in pain, it didn't take much to piece together what had occurred.Yale winced in pain and muttered, "Wanda was too rough."Lillian glared at Mila and clenched her teeth in frustration. She hurried over and raised her hand as if she might slap her.Phoebe acted quickly. She grabbed Lillian's arm and forcefully shoved it awa

Nathan's expression turned serious as he shook his head.Mila was shocked. "So, Yale isn't Oliver after all?""I'm not sure. All the data on Oliver's DNA in the database has been erased, even the previous samples are gone," Nathan replied.Mila clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. "No wonder he was so calm today. Turns out, he's got nothing to fear anymore.""Maybe it's because he got cautious after I took his blood at the wedding," Nathan said, leaning back on the couch and closing his eyes. "He's planning to run for election, so it'll be even tougher to catch him then.""He's truly terrifying," Mila remarked. "He leaves no trace in anything he does. It's all cleaned up perfectly."Nathan reached for her hand, squeezing it tight as he said, "I'm most worried about you now.""You don't have to worry about me. From now on, I'll make sure to bring Phoebe with me whenever I go out, along with a few others," Mila replied."Project 905 is about to kick off, so you have to start

Sienna settled into her car seat, a peculiar uneasiness washing over her. It wasn't overpowering, but rather a persistent discomfort, akin to a hand clutching her heart, causing her breath to catch.She sighed and mustered a smile before she asked, "Felix, if you were rich, powerful, and held a government position, would you consider marrying someone like me?"Felix burst into laughter. "Are you kidding? If I had such a status, I'd definitely choose a partner from a similar background. You're struggling financially, without any influence, not even a stable job."Let's face reality, Sienna. We should look for partners who align with our social status."Sienna forced a bitter smile, her gaze falling as she sighed. Deep down, she knew Felix was speaking the truth. She shouldn't indulge in fantasies that weren't grounded in reality.Suddenly, Felix studied Sienna before speaking again, "Sienna, you're stunning and have an amazing physique. You'd be the ideal mistress for a wealthy or
