Josiah reached out and pulled her phone away, immediately ending the call. Then, he swiftly added. Lysanne’s number to the blacklist.
When he returned her phone, he softly said, “Don’t answer calls from irrelevant people in the future.”

The setting was simple in the mountainous region, with only a serene valley visible through the enormous floor–to–ceiling window.
Unlike in the city, where no matter what time you woke up at night, there would always be lights outside as soon as you drew the curtains. It was indeed

The silence was so profound. It stilled her heart completely.
She pushed open the window and positioned herself on the terrace overlooking the valley. The air was somewhat damp, and it was only then that she no
The scent of flowers and fresh soil dominated the air, subtly intertwined with a faint whiff of smoke.

“Why couldn’t you sleep, then? Are you worried about Mrs. Thorne?”
Lysander responded, “It’s probably due to my previous habit of working the night shift. After every night shift, I would always have to take on a morning s at five o’clock.”
