Seeing her trapped, he couldn’t be happy either. So now he’s damn conflicted, suffering and on the verge of collapse. While he was in pain for her, she was being affectionate with the man who had hurt him. This was something he found most intolerable. He and Hunter Warren both waited for her for six years, he devoted himself entirely to her, so why did she choose to turn a blind eye? In her eyes, where was he inferior to Hunter Warren? Aren’t they both in love? Why was his passionate love so despised by her? Watching Oliver Turner leave so dejectedly, Faye Townsend sighed and covered her eyes with her hands. It’s really painful, but telling the truth is always better than letting him hold on to hope only to end up disappointed. Cutting through the knot swiftly is the only thing she can do for him now. After Oliver Turner left, Declan Rivers returned, as the previous work report hadn’t been completed. Hearing the door open, Faye looked up, her eyes glistening with tears. Declan Rivers approached with concern, "Faye, why are you crying? Did Director Turner give you a hard time?" Faye shook her head, "Find out something for me. Did the Warren Group and BlueHorizon Group have a conflict yesterday?" "Sure, and today’s work report..." "Finish the report first, then go. Whatever has happened, it’s not urgent at this moment." At around eleven, Declan Rivers came in to report what he had investigated. After listening, Faye’s brows furrowed. Hunter Warren isn’t someone who acts recklessly. Why is he suddenly targeting the BlueHorizon Group? She pinched her brow, feeling a bit agitated. If Oliver and Lucas Warren really teamed up, things would definitely become tricky in the future. "Declan, go to Wine Fairy Residence and order some takeout. I’ll go get it later." "What dishes..." "Hmm... just order two signature dishes and two bowls of rice." "Got it, Director Townsend, I’ll get right on it." Declan Rivers turned and left. At eleven, Faye headed out from the company, picked up lunch, and went towards Hunter Warren’s company. Before going up the stairs, she called him, and Hunter Warren was in a pretty good mood. "What’s up, Faye? Missing me?" "Not really missing, but eating alone is a bit dull, so I thought of having lunch with you." "We truly are in sync. I’m on my way to your company right now, give me five more minutes, I’ll be there soon." "Ah?" Faye exclaimed. "What do you mean, ’ah’?" Faye couldn’t help but say, "Seems like we really are in sync. I’m on the first floor of your company right now, about to take the elevator up." Hunter Warren laughed speechlessly, "Looks like I’m not the only one eager to see you. You wait for me upstairs, I’ll be back soon." Faye also laughed, "Okay, by the way, I brought food from Wine Fairy Residence, so just come and eat directly." "That’s what I mean about being in sync. I also ordered food from Wine Fairy Residence." Faye covered her mouth, "Then give your order to your secretary, the two of us can’t finish that much food." "Seems like that’s the only way." After hanging up the phone, Faye went upstairs first. When Hunter Warren returned, Faye had already ground his coffee personally. "How do you find my delivery girl service?" Hunter Warren glanced at the coffee table, then pointed to the break room, "If you could provide even better service, I’d give you double thumbs up." "Oh, I won’t fall for your tricks. I’m hungry, let’s eat." Faye rolled her eyes at him and walked towards the sofa, but Hunter Warren was faster, picking her up horizontally and carrying her to the break room. She raised her hand and slapped his shoulder, "Hey, what are you doing, playing rogue in broad daylight?" "Teasing without the intention of bedding my wife is what I call roguery. Sweetheart, last night the feeling of being alone in bed was just too unbearable. This time, just give in to me." As Hunter Warren spoke, he blew gently beside her ear, causing her body to quiver, giving her goosebumps all over. "Then what about all those nights before we lived together?" Faye wrapped her arms around his neck, rare hints of coquettishness in her voice as she gazed at him. He pecked her lips, "Don’t you know? A cat that hasn’t tasted fish doesn’t necessarily like eating fish initially. It’s only after getting used to it that it becomes irresistible." He laid her on the big bed, then eagerly began to make his move. After a moment of passion, the two straightened their clothes and emerged from the break room. Perhaps because she had exercised, Faye found the food especially appetizing at this moment. Seated at the dining table, Hunter Warren asked, "You really didn’t come to find me today because you missed me?" Faye looked at him with a sweet smile and shook her head, "Really, no." "If you say so, I’ll be heartbroken. I think about you all the time." Faye nodded, "I do too, although I think of you every moment, doesn’t everyone have self-control?" "In front of me, you don’t need self-control." Hunter Warren put a piece of rib into his bowl, "Eat more, see how skinny you are. I’m afraid I’ll hurt you during our ’exercise’ sessions." Faye pouted, "All the girls in the world are dieting, and you want me to gain weight? Aren’t you afraid I’ll get so fat you can’t carry me?" "What to be afraid of? If you really get so fat that I can’t carry you, then Lucas Warren wouldn’t keep thinking about you either. By then, you’d be mine alone." The mention of Lucas Warren made Faye’s expression dim a bit. Hunter Warren raised his brow, "Did I say something I shouldn’t have?" Faye bit her lip, "Do you know... that Lucas Warren went to find Oliver Turner?" Hunter Warren raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "Who told you that?" "This morning, Oliver came to find me." "What did he say to you?" Hunter Warren put down his chopsticks and picked up his coffee cup. Faye ate a spoonful of rice, "Did you spread a message yesterday that would disadvantage Oliver?" "This matter I have discussed with you before, Oliver Turner first came against me. He encroached on my market and stole our new designs. I couldn’t just sit and let him bully me, so I preemptively collaborated with other companies. Our new product has long been released by another company and is selling very well. Our company kept this secret under wraps. Because of this, Oliver Turner mass-produced with our new design, but by now his products should only be half-finished. This transformation of his hasn’t been successful, and there should be quite a loss. One must know, the Warren Group’s computer industry is among the top rankings nationwide. Surpassing me isn’t that easy." Faye sighed, "Perhaps because of this, Oliver is very angry, so he met with Lucas Warren and agreed to Lucas’s request to join forces. With the two of them teaming up, we will definitely face some trouble." Hunter Warren laughed, "Is that what he said? Quite the excuse-finding. It was Lucas Warren who sought Oliver Turner first; my retaliation came after. He had already planned to team up with Lucas Warren. My action against him was just his excuse." "So, you’ve known all along?" Hunter Warren raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?" "Such things would only worry you if I told you. You are my woman; the only thing you need to do is stand behind me while I shield you from the storm." Faye looked at Hunter Warren in front of her and smiled. Wasn’t this broad shoulder what she always longed for before? Even though she felt their current situation was very passive, his words allowed her to faintly see the shape of happiness. Actually, she loves him, so even if hell lay ahead, she’d be willing to break through it with him. After gazing at him for a moment, Faye asked, "If you knew they might team up, why did you release such a message yesterday to provoke Oliver Turner? Perhaps he hadn’t originally intended to team up with Lucas Warren." "Do you think that’s possible? From his perspective, the only way to win you back is to trample me underfoot. I wasn’t provoking him; I was warning him. Even if he teamed up with the emperor, I wouldn’t regard him as a threat." Faye shook her head, "Even if you were trampled into hell, I would follow you there." Hunter Warren looked at her, faintly smiling, "I won’t be trampled into hell. For you, I’ll work hard towards heaven." He stood up to sit beside her and embraced her shoulder, "I’ll make your life resplendent, never burdened by worries. I want you, when you’re by my side, to only have happiness, unfit for any misfortune or unhappiness." Faye turned to embrace him. With those words, what more could she ask for? Right now, she is truly content." Before they knew it, it was time for Darnley and Miya to start kindergarten. The night before school started, when Faye returned home, the two little ones were lined up on the dining chairs, learning how to make pastries with the housekeeper. As soon as she entered, she saw two dough boys who had turned into little white puffballs from the flour. Seeing the kids like that, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth in laughter, "What’re you two up to, my little darlings?" Darnley and Miya exchanged glances. Miya stayed silent, while Darnley said, "We’re going to kindergarten tomorrow and want to bring the snacks we made ourselves for our friends." "Wow, my two darlings are so clever." Faye tossed her bag aside and held their faces to kiss each, "Wait, I’ll wash my hands and come out to help." "Faye, these are our thoughts, you can’t interfere." Darnley spoke with maturity, "A wise mother doesn’t meddle in her children’s affairs." Faye raised her eyebrows and nodded, "Alright, you do it yourself, I’ll cheer you on." Miya pointed upstairs, "Mom, go take a shower, you worked hard today." Faye nodded and laughed silently, clearly, she was being shunned, wasn’t she? "Okay, I’ll go shower." Faye picked up her bag and went upstairs.
