Nicole picked up her underwear and put it on, her cold voice ringing out: "Jose Floyd, this is the last time!"

Jose, with a cigarette in hand, gave her a cold glance, noticing her slightly trembling legs, his eyes darkened a few shades, but he said nothing.

Nicole tidied herself up, adjusted her clothes, and with a bare hint of composure, walked towards the exit in her high heels.

As the door opened, the indoor light suddenly brightened, and Jose squinted slightly, watching Nicole leave.

The girl’s silhouette was slender and graceful, too familiar yet too strange, indifferent and aloof. This silhouette was just like when she stabbed a knife into his chest, watching him bleed and coldly turned away.

"Nicole, why are you so heartless!" Jose laughed coldly, holding his cigarette.

As she just stepped out, Steven approached her, took her hand and placed it on his wrist. The two stood side by side, a fitting and pleasing image, heading towards the party.

Jose, forgotten, sat on the sofa with a cigarette, watching them leave, recalling the scene where he had her pinned under him. Reaching out, he extinguished the cigarette, his gaze icy clear.

Nicole, don’t push me to my last step! If it really comes to that point, where I can’t turn back, I’ll drag you down with me!

Dawn Sutherland and Daisy Grant drove home after attending the Seys Family twins’ party.

As they passed by the Fresh Blossom Bakery, Dawn instinctively hit the brakes, parked the car steadily, and turned to Daisy in the passenger seat with a gentle smile: "Wait for me a moment."

"Okay." Daisy nodded.

Dawn got out of the car, went into the bakery to buy two boxes of fresh flower cakes, and then handed them to Daisy in the passenger seat as he got back into the car.

"Second Brother, you bought fresh flower cakes." Daisy smiled, with happiness so evident at the corners of her mouth.

Dawn started the car, "Yeah, ever since your eighteenth birthday when you asked me for fresh flower cakes, I never forgot, I remember your love for them."

Daisy opened the fresh flower cake, took one in her fingers, and smiled deeply: "Do you know why I love fresh flower cakes, Second Brother?"

"Because they’re delicious?" Dawn drove steadily, chuckling.

Daisy laughed, breaking the cake in her hand in half, her smile warm, bright, and captivating, "Second Brother, despite all the kinds of fresh flower cakes, I had you bring me rose flower cakes on my eighteenth birthday. You’re so dense, you haven’t figured it out all these years."

Dawn’s eyes showed some surprise, "Turns out it wasn’t the cake you wanted, but what’s inside... the flower."

Daisy nodded with a smile, "Everyone says roses represent love, and when I said I loved rose cakes, you really got me the cakes. The day I returned home, you greeted me with a bouquet of deep red roses, and I felt so disappointed, thinking how hard is it to get a bouquet of roses!"

Dawn’s lips curved into a smile, "I truly didn’t get it."

Daisy put the flower cake in her mouth, its sweetness spreading into her heart, "But now I actually like roses more. By the way, Second Brother, what do you like about me?"

Even now, it all felt so unreal to her, like living in a dream.

The love she waited over ten years for, finally arrived, and it all felt like a dream.

Dawn’s eyes carried a smile, his expression warm and captivating, "As long as your name is Daisy Grant, it’s destined to move my heart, because those three words are etched in my heart, after ten lifetimes of blessings, never forgotten." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"When did you start liking me?" Daisy curiously glanced at him driving from the passenger seat, "Second Brother, be honest."
