Yale held me tightly around the waist, as if afraid I would run away.

I took out a lady's cigarette and played with the lighter, but didn't light it for a long time.

Glancing down at the peacefully sleeping Yale, I sighed.

I don't know what the right thing to do is, but at least I won't regret it before it happens.

Zane used to be like a dazzling sun to me, but chasing after him was just too exhausting.

When I woke up, the sky was tinged with a pale white glow. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and reached over, but the bed was cold and empty.

Just as I was lost in thought, I heard Yale's voice coming from the kitchen.

"Stella, go ahead and get ready, breakfast will be ready soon."

By the time I finished freshening up, the table was already set with a delicious-looking breakfast spread.

I ate in silence, when suddenly my phone buzzed with a new message.

My heart skipped a beat.

I opened it to find a message from Zane: [I had my assistant drop off your things.]

I wasn't sure what to make of his message.

What could be so important that he sent someone all this way to deliver it to a nanny's daughter?

I glanced up at Yale, who was eating his breakfast with an elegant, refined air.
