GoodNovelChapter 1178:
Surprised by the sudden shift in topic, Cliff fell silent for a moment. He thought about Juliet’s impressive
credentials before saying openly, “If we're discussing a marriage of convenience, you'd certainly be a very
appealing choice.”
Yet, business ties were a secondary consideration for Cliff. The ongoing pressure of him marrying was the
primary concern. He was used to giving and didn’t want to...
remain a concern for his parents, so completing the task of marriage was necessary.
Juliet’s voice softened, taking on a distinctly feminine charm. “A marriage of convenience seems so dull. Who
knows, maybe feelings could develop between us over time? Mr. Hopkins, do you already have someone
special?”
Cliff's tone was detached as he said, “I don’t care about love.”
Juliet boldly confessed, “I've been in several relationships, but you've captured my interest faster than anyone.
May | hope that one day you'll fall for me?”
After exchanging a few more words, Cliff ended the call. He lit a cigarette and took his tsmoking it. The bitter

son, he was obligated to uphold the family’s status and honor, following the course his father had set. His life
had been carefully planned, with no room for unexpected turns.
Having finished his cigarette and still feeling restless, Cliff decided to check on Laney since she had barely eaten
tonight. Surprisingly, as he opened the door, he encountered her coming out of her room.
In the stillness of the night, their eyes met clearly, and the moment lingered, creating a delicate tension in the
air. Cliff broke the silence by saying, “You're awake.”
Laney nodded quietly. Fresh from a shower, her long hair fell over her shoulders, emphasizing her delicate
appearance.
“I'm hungry,” Laney said softly. “I need to find something to eat.”
Cliff had expected this. “How about | make something for you?” he offered, rolling up his sleeves.
Laney followed him, replying, “Anything will do. | always enjoy what you cook.”
Cliff quietly prepared sfood for Laney, careful not to disturb the family. Laney ate quickly, finishing her meal
in no time. Cliff gently wiped her face with a wet cloth. “Take a moment to relax before you head back to bed.”
Laney appreciated his care, savoring the simple comfort of being looked after and listening to him without
needing to do anything herself. “Are you heading upstairs?” she asked, her gaze lingering on him. “It’s fine. You
should rest.”
