Chapter 1


    Shaun returned home, and as his secret lover, Jennifer Lim was the first to be taken to his ce, the


    Eighth Residence.


    ording to protocol, before meeting him, she had to bathe properly and could not use perfume.


    Strictly adhering to his preferences, she washed herself thoroughly, changed into ice silk pajamas, and


    went to the second-floor bedroom.


    A man was sitting in front of theputer and appeared to be dealing with business. When he saw her


    enter, he lightly swept her a nce.


    “Come here.”


    His voice, cold and emotionless, weighed down on Jennifer’s heart like an anchor.


    He was aloof and unpredictable, and Jennifer, fearing his anger, dared not dy for a moment and


    walked quickly to him.


    Before she could stand, Shaun took her into his arms, and with his long, slender fingers, he cupped her


    chin.


    Lowering his head, he kissed her red lips and pried her teeth open.


    Shaun has always been reluctant to say much to her. He never tried to initiate conversation, and


    whenever he saw her, all he did was have sex with her.


    He looks noble and ascetic, but not in such matters.


    He had been abroad on business for three months, all throughout without the touch of a woman. She did


    not expect him to be gentle tonight.


    She was not wrong.

    When she woke up, the ce beside her was empty, but the sound of sshing water came from the


    bathroom.


    She looked toward it and saw a slender figure reflected in the foggy ss.


    Jennifer was a bit surprised. He had never waited for her to wake up when he was done. Howe he


    didn’t leave this time?


    She braced her weak body and sat up from the bed, quiet and well-behaved, waiting for the man toe


    out.


    A few minutester, the sound of water in the bathroom abruptly stopped and the man came out


    wrapped in a bath towel.


    The water at the end of his hair dripped on his honey-colored skin, slowly sliding past his firm chest to his


    abdominal muscles with a deadly temptation.


    His face was delicate and handsome as if sharpened by a knife. His peach blossom eyes were


    indifferent and detached, always deep and obscure.


    The man looked very good, however, his cold aura ensured that people never dared to approach him


    easily.


    Shaun saw that she was awake, and gave her a cold look.


    “You don’t have toe here anymore.”


    Jennifer froze for a moment. What did he mean by that?


    Shaun withdrew his eyes from looking at her, turned to fetch a document, and handed it to her, “This is


    the contract, I’m terminating the contract early.”


    When she saw the lover’s agreement, Jennifer realized that Shaun was trying to end their rtionship.


    As it turned out, he didn’t leave because he was too fond of her. Rather, he was breaking up with her.


    After being with him for five years, she had always had it at the back of her mind that this woulde,


    but she never thought it would be like this.


    There was no reason and no extra exnation. Just a straightforward notice.


    She forced down the paining from her heart and slowly raised her head to look at Shaun who was


    already dressing.


    “The contract expires in six months. Can’t it wait?”


    The doctor said she had three months to live, and she wanted to stay with him until the end of her life.


    Shaun didn’t respond. He merely stared at her with cold eyes like he was kicking away a ything that


    he was tired of.


    His silence gave Jennifer the self-awareness she needed.


    Five years had passed, and she still hadn’t warmed his heart. It was high time she woke up to reality.


    She took the contract, pretending to raise the corners of her mouth in a rxed manner, and smiled


    quietly and beautifully. “Don’t be so serious. I’m just kidding.”


    After saying that, he added, “I wanted to leave a long time ago, and now that the contract has been


    terminated early, I can’t be happier.”


    Shaun’s hand, which was finishing his shirt sleeve, paused slightly as he raised his cool eyes to survey


    Jennifer.


    He saw that she not only looked unaffected, she even vaguely looked excited as if for her, it was a relief.


    He frowned lightly and asked in a low voice, “You’ve been meaning to leave?”


    Jennifer nodded as if she didn’t care. “Yes. I’m not too young. I should get married and have children. I


    can’t stay around you forever, can I?”


    It was impossible for her to get married or have children in this life, but in front of Shaun, she had to


    preserve a bit of her dignity.


    Thinking of this, she smiled again and asked Shaun, “Since the contract is terminated, I can have a


    boyfriend from now on, right?”


    Shaun looked uncertain, and after staring at her steadily for a moment, he picked up the ncPain


    watch that was ced on the bed and turned around to leave.


    “As you wish.”


    These were his words before he left.


    Looking at his back, Jennifer’s smile gradually faded.


    Shaun hated it when people touched his stuff, yet he didn’t even react when he heard that she was


    getting a boyfriend.


    It seemed that…


    He really was tired of her.
