Faye Townsend snuggled closer in his embrace, wrapping her arms around his waist, "Good night."
He kissed her forehead again, "Good night."
In the morning, as sunlight stread into the room, the first thing Faye Townsend saw upon waking was Hunter Warren’s face tightly holding her. She curled her lips into a smile.
It felt like a dream co true.
Many years ago, wasn’t this her dream?
To wake up every morning in the arms of the man she loved.
She looked at him for a mont, then slipped out of his embrace, dressed, and quietly went downstairs.
She hadn’t been ho all night last night and wondered how Darnley and Miya were doing.
As she ca downstairs, the servants were preparing breakfast.
Seeing her, they imdiately approached and respectfully bowed, "Madam."
Faye Townsend smiled lightly, "Good morning, everyone."
"Madam, would you like to have your al now or wait and eat with the Second Master?"
"I won’t be dining here. Just prepare sothing for the Second Master."
After she spoke, she left to return ho, where Uncle Rivers was in high spirits, trimming the plants in the yard.
Seeing her return, Uncle Rivers walked up, "Miss, why are you back so early?"
Faye Townsend smiled sheepishly, "Uncle Rivers, you probably wish I wouldn’t co back at all."
"How could that be, Miss? Darnley and Miya are sleeping soundly. I just thought you could rest a bit more."
Faye shrugged, "I’m going inside to change and then head to work.
Oh, by the way, Uncle Rivers, these days, if you have nothing to do, take the two kids to the kindergarten to get familiar with the environnt there.
I’m planning to send them to school next week.
They can’t stay at ho forever."
"Got it, Miss.
By the way, Miss, are you free this Saturday?"
"Probably, why?"
"On Saturday, I have an appointnt to et Declan for dinner and might not be able to take care of the two kids."
"Leave it to then."
"Also, Miss, there’s an event in that community this Saturday. If you’re interested, you could take Darnley and Miya to check it out. I heard it’s quite interesting."
"Sure."
Faye compressed her workload as much as possible in the morning and, during her lunch break, drove away from the company to BlueHorizon Group to find Oliver Turner.
Because of who she was, no one dared stop her, and she reached his office effortlessly.
His secretary stood up respectfully when she arrived, "Director Townsend."
Faye pointed inside, "Looks like Oliver is there, right?"
"Director Turner is in. Please wait a mont while I notify him."
Faye nodded, and the secretary quickly put down the phone, "Director Townsend, please go in."
"Thank you." Faye turned and pushed the door open to enter.
Oliver Turner was busy at his desk, not even looking up.
Faye bit her lip. In the past, he would have co out personally to escort her in.
It seed he was still upset.
She walked up, pulled out the chair opposite him, and sat down, "Oliver."
Oliver Turner put down the pen in his hand, hesitated for a mont, and then looked up at her, "You’re here."
"Yeah." Faye pursed her lips, "Last night..."
"If you’re here to talk about what happened last night, there’s no need.
Faye, this is a war between Hunter Warren and . You shouldn’t get involved."
Faye bit her lip, "But Miss Luna’s situation is a misunderstanding. Hunter was only doing it for ..."
"I’ve done a lot for you too, but I’ve never seen any gratitude from you.
Faye, saying words of gratitude doesn’t count."
Faye exhaled deeply, placing a hand over her heart, "I’ve always rembered your kindness towards in my heart."
"But you’ve long since forgotten the things you said.
Faye, do you think it’s fun to play , Oliver, around?"
Faye was speechless, "I didn’t play you, Oliver. Is it really necessary to say such harsh things?"
"Harsh? Fine, then tell , what exactly is the situation between you and Hunter Warren?
Why do you et him and go on dates with him?
Faye, just because I don’t say anything doesn’t an I don’t know. Just because I don’t question it doesn’t an I don’t care.
I’ve given you chances ti and again, but you really think I’m a fool, don’t you?
From the beginning until now, you’ve only been using , haven’t you?
Faye, how can a woman’s heart be so tough?
Now that I’ve helped you get Townsend Group on the right track, do you think I have no value left for you?"
Faye covered her forehead with her hand. Today, she intended to have a good talk with him, to clear things up.
But now it seed Oliver Turner wasn’t in the mood to hear any of her thoughts.
Yes, he was right. For him, she always said much and did little.
But that was because his only demand was for her, sothing she simply couldn’t fulfill.
If he had asked for sothing else, she would have done her best to help him achieve it.
She owned everything he did, and yet, what he asked for, she couldn’t give.
How else could she deal with that gratitude and indebtedness?
Faye stood up and looked down at him.
"Since you brought it up today, I’ll tell you what I really think.
Oliver, I was going to tell you a few days ago.
It’s just that back then, you were busy with Miss Luna and Clara’s issues.
I didn’t want to add to your worries, so I didn’t say anything.
I’ve decided to return to Hunter Warren.
I know you might say I’m crazy. Before, I also thought my behavior was crazy.
Because I once swore never to return to Hunter Warren, I’m now breaking that promise.
Hunter Warren hurt , gave the deepest pain, and made fall in love with all my heart.
But precisely this person I hated to my core, when he returned to my side, my heart still accepted him.
I won’t make excuses for myself. All I can say is, I’m following the voice in my heart.
Because over the years, I’ve realized that only when I’m with him does my heart beat.
Only when I’m with him can I be like a normal person, experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness."
Oliver Turner’s brows furrowed as he stared at her.
Faye felt a bit nervous and slowly stood up, "I’m sorry, Oliver. I hope you can respect my decision.
Since you’re so busy, I won’t disturb you. Carry on, I’m leaving now."
Faye turned to leave, but Oliver Turner stood up and quickly pursued her.
He grabbed her wrist at the door and pinned her to the vermilion door.
Faye turned back, and their eyes t, Oliver’s face full of anger, "Listen, Faye, I’m done holding back. You need to cut ties with Hunter Warren now. In the future, I won’t allow you to et him in private."
Oliver Turner was very angry now. His body pressed firmly against hers, and she could feel his rage.
"Oliver, I’ve already said... Mmm..."
He no longer gave her a chance to speak, lowering his head and capturing her lips fiercely.
This kiss was rough, devoid of any emotion.
Faye turned her head to avoid it, but Oliver Turner seed unwilling to give her that chance.
He held her tightly, and Faye felt a jolt throughout her body, a faint urge to retch.
Instinctively, she bit his lip.
He let go in pain, leaving only three centiters between them.
"Oliver, calm down," Faye shouted angrily.
"Calm down? Do you know how long I’ve put up with you?
I was the one who went to Switzerland first, but you chased out and stayed there to flirt with Hunter Warren.
After you returned, I gave you chance after chance, but you repeatedly played with .
I believed you weren’t intentionally hurting , but you kept letting down.
I ask you, when you secretly went on dates with Hunter Warren, did you ever consider my feelings?
No, you didn’t, did you?
In all of Anchester, is there anyone who doesn’t know you, Faye Townsend, are my woman?
All these years, for you, I’ve maintained appearances in Anchester. I’ve never flirted with other won, so people would know that even though the Warren Family didn’t want you, I, Oliver Turner, still cherished you as my only treasure, ensuring no one dared to bully you.
But you, you’ve thrown my dignity as Oliver Turner to the ground as if it were trash.
Do you know because of you, I’ve now beco the laughingstock of Anchester?
You publicly go to events with Hunter Warren and attend parties. Haven’t you thought that others might be whispering behind my back, calling an idiot?
Faye, I consider everything for you, but you trample on at every turn. Do you not have a conscience anymore?
Do you think you can just treat , Oliver Turner, however you like? I trusted you so much. How could you betray ?"
Hearing this, Faye lowered her eyes, guilt flickering in her gaze, "I’m sorry, I know I’ve wronged you. I’m willing to make ands in any way, but..."
"Faye, no more buts. I know what you’re going to say next.
You’ve truly forgotten. If I have the power to elevate you to heaven, I can also drag you into hell," Oliver Turner said, his eyes cold and fierce.
Faye felt a chill in her heart, a hurt look in her eyes, "Oliver, what did you just say?"
Oliver clenched his fist, "I’m sure you heard very clearly.
Now, I’m irreconcilable with Hunter Warren.
Your choice is crucial. Choose him, and we will beco enemies.
Choose , and I’ll take you under my wing and protect you with all my might."
Faye gave a cold laugh, "Oliver Turner, you said you were very disappointed in yesterday, right?
Today, I’m giving those words back to you unchanged.
I’m also genuinely disappointed in you now.
Now I finally understand why Clara was so heartbroken over you."
All along, I thought Oliver Turner was a smart person.
But today, I realized that few n in this world are without flaws.
And Oliver Turner’s flaw is his egotism; he only believes in what he wants to believe.
If he had thought carefully enough, he would know why Luna Fisher didn’t let him provoke Hunter Warren.
