My life drastically changed when I entered the Urban Builders office. The surprise that Fred had in store
for me left me utterly speechless.
He signed an exclusive agency contract with me. Not only that, a construction company worth 150 million
dollars was registered in my name
Fred also dispatched a professional team for structural design and construction for me. I struggled to find the right words to express my gratitude.
He shook my hand and said, “We mutually benefit from this, so you don’t have to say anything. You’ve saved me from a critical situation yet again, and being able to help you is an honor. [1
“After we both overcome these challenges, visit me in the city. Please stay in touch and let us know if you
need anything.”
He handed me a comprehensive set of documents about steel windows and the paperwork.
I sincerely thanked him and said, “Okay. Then there’s no need for me to say anything else. Until we meet again!”
As I left the Urban Builders office, I said to myself, “Chloe, the game has officially begun.”
I knew Atlas was behind this, but I never asked what they had discussed.
On the day of my departure, Atlas accompanied me to the train station for my journey back to my
hometown. As I watched him on the platform, I felt strangely attached.
Back in my hometown, I diligently prepared the window bidding documents and my company details. I
shipped them back to Foswood via express delivery, directly into Atlas’s hands. It was more convenient
than carrying them myself.
Two days later, I flew back to Foswood.
Not only was Matthew there to meet me at the airport, but Melanie as well. When I saw them together, I grinned slyly
“Honey” Matthew hugged me and sald, “I missed you so much!”
heart, silently cursed. Missed me? He had only called me once during the trip. He was probably too busy enjoying himself every night!

I threw myself enthusiastically into his arms, acting coy and displaying affection. “Honey, I missed you
too!”
After saying this, I felt goosebumps all over. Then I turned to Melanie. “I didn’t expect you to be here too!” “Yeah, I’ve been with my brother all this while. He said he’d pick you up, so here I am!” Her smug words carried a hidden meaning.
“Just as I thought, you’ve been together the whole time!” I playfully teased Melanie, wearing a sly smile. You’ve worked hard while I was away!”
Matthew held my hand briefly and studied my face. “You seem to have lost some weight.”
“Yes, I got sick,” I said casually. “I’m still beautiful, right? I feel reborn! Let’s go home.”
After arriving home, I noticed the house had been deliberately cleaned. It also smelled like air freshener.
I commented, “Wow, the house looks spotless. It doesn’t look like the house of someone who’s been away. It feels quite cozy.”
Matthew detected a sting in my words and explained. “I tidied up specifically to welcome you.”
I walked into the bedroom, opened the window, and said with a cheeky grin, “Let’s air the place out. There’s a certain smell in here.”
Melanie suddenly stood up and stormed out. I turned and asked Matthew, “What’s going on? Is she upset? Matthew gripped my waist and lowered his head to kiss me. I turned my face slightly, and his lips landed on my cheek.
“Don’t mind her.”
I can’t help but feel like she’s angry at us for being so affectionate,” I said with a piercing gaze.
