Declan returned from abroad, bringing back his first love. “Adeline, Fiona is pregnant with my child. I can only ask you to bear with this for now.” Overnight, I became the laughingstock of the circle. Late at night, my fiancé’s Uncle Milo held me tightly in his arms, his movements forceful. “Compared to that loser, who can make you happier?” “Adeline, don’t move. Declan is just outside the door. Do you want me to call him in?” The room was a mess. Milo pressed me against the cold window glass. His hot breath against my ear, enveloping me in his presence. “Please, don’t…” I pleaded softly, only to hear him scoff. “Don’t what? Stop?” He chuckled, pinning my wrists above my head with one hand. His actions grew more intense. “What do you want to ask me for?” Of course, I knew. “Uncle Milo, Fiona is three months pregnant. Declan and I have to cancel our engagement.” Declan’s voice came from outside the door. “Adeline’s design project will be handled by Fiona and me. It won’t affect the company.” My blood froze as I stared at the door. He had said Cora only needed help with her pregnancy and divorce. But now… Milo leisurely looked at me, “Did you hear that?” “He’s not only canceling your engagement but also taking your project to benefit Cora.” Milo narrowed his eyes and continued. “Be with me, Adeline. I’ll give you everything you want.” Saying this, he pushed forward with such force I almost fell to the ground. “Milo, don’t. We’ll be discovered.” Milo chuckled, “Wouldn’t it be perfect if we were? I’ll marry you, make you Declan’s Aunt Adeline.” I, always timid and cowardly. Silently reached out, wrapping my arms around Milo’s neck. He immediately sensed it, his eyes darkened as he bit my lips like a predator savoring its prey. Satisfied, he coldly said to the person outside, “I need to rest. Talk tomorrow.” The bell at my ankle chimed, making a crisp and pleasant sound. I cried the whole night. Milo tormented me fiercely, “Are you crying because of him or me?” I didn’t answer, which only spurred him into more madness. Until the sky began to lighten. He finally wiped away the tears from the corner of my eyes with tenderness. “Good girl, Adeline. I won’t let the alliance between our families fall through. You’re still the Sullivan Family’s daughter-in-law.” I looked at him in a daze. This man, indeed, knew what I was worried about. The Harper Family was weak. My engagement to Declan wasn’t just for love but for other purposes too. Milo’s fingers twirled my hair. “Your fiancé, from now on, is me.” I was beyond shocked. Anger and humiliation surged in my heart: “Milo, are you crazy?” Everyone in the circle knew Milo was a madman. Ruthless, with a strange personality. But I didn’t expect him to be this insane.
I didn’t go looking for Cora, but she came to me. She looked gentle and demure, no wonder Declan liked her. He probably thought I was too bright and flamboyant. “I heard Asher almost gave up his life to marry you back then.” I looked at her face, silent. When Declan pursued me, he was all high-profile and flamboyant, eager to let the world know he liked me. To get Mr. Sullivan to agree to our marriage. He jumped into an icy lake in winter to show his determination, injuring his little finger from the frostbite. He said it was a badge of love. Said that as long as his finger hurt, it would remind him to love me for a lifetime. “But in the end, he still chose me.” Cora raised her eyebrows, looking smug, “Our child is already three months old.” “Back then, we were too young to know what we wanted.” “Just like me, I left him and went abroad to marry someone else. Fortunately, in the end, we got back together…” She glanced at me as she spoke. Her eyes were full of smiles. My heart felt like it was being pricked by thousands of needles. It started to hurt sharply, suffocatingly. When Declan brought Cora back that day. He once vowed in front of me, “It wasn’t my will to be with her.” “If she weren’t pregnant, I would’ve kicked her out long ago.” Later, I found out. During his time in the States, he was always entangled with Cora. They indulged themselves in my bridal chamber, with Cora gasping in his arms, playfully. “Asher, I can’t take it anymore.” Declan teased her, “If it weren’t for you seducing…” That’s when I realized. I was the fool kept in the dark the whole time. Under pressure, Declan promised me. “Adeline, once Fiona gives birth, I’ll send her away. Aren’t you afraid of getting out of shape from pregnancy?” “Why don’t you raise Cora’s child?” I stayed silent. But when Cora heard Declan’s idea, she accidentally fell. Everyone said I couldn’t tolerate her. Declan also wanted to break off our engagement without a word. “Adeline Harper, you malicious woman!” … Before Cora left, she taunted. “Adeline Harper, you can’t beat me. Asher doesn’t love you. He loves me now.” I pretended to stay composed and ignored her. But the pain in my heart was so intense, it made sweat bead on my forehead. I lay at home for two days. When I woke up, I decided to talk things over with Declan. Our engagement involved both families’ reputation.
Declan took Cora to “The Nightfall.” It’s Milo’s private establishment. No matter who you are, you need a reservation to enter. I had no choice but to face Milo. “So, now you remember me?” He lounged lazily on the sofa, swirling the red wine in his hand. Milo was exceptionally handsome. Even with such an annoying expression on his face, he still looked good. I sulked and didn’t answer. Seeing my silence, he got a bit annoyed. “What do you want?” “To go to ‘The Nightfall’ to find Declan.” Upon hearing this, Milo downed his wine in one go. He grabbed my neck, pulling me into his embrace. His cool lips carried the scent of wine. Overwhelming me. His fiery kiss was like a flame, forcefully igniting me. “Adeline Harper, you still dare think of him? Did you forget what you promised me when you slept with me?!” My heart trembled, my cheeks instantly burning. The day Declan proposed breaking off the engagement, I went to a bar to drink away my sorrows and was drugged. In my stupor, I mistook Milo for Declan and slept with him. He was furious then. “Adeline Harper, look carefully. I’m not Declan.” I felt so awful, I couldn’t care less. I directly pounced on him. Swallowing all his words, I clung to him, wanting more several times over. Until the next morning. Seeing his face, I was suddenly aware. Oh my god, I actually slept with my fiancé’s Uncle Milo. He rested against the bed, half-dressed. “What, scared now that it’s over?” Swallowing hard, I shook my head, then fiercely nodded. “I warn you, I won’t be the third wheel. Break up with Declan tomorrow, got it?” I agreed like a pecking chick. Then turned and ran. Now, he was looking at me with a leisurely gaze. His narrow, beautiful eyes carried a smile not reaching the bottom, “Running after sleeping with someone, you’re something else.”
Milo kept his word. That night, he took me to ‘The Nightfall’s masquerade party. I wore a mask and a deep red gown, standing in the corner. No one recognized me. But I recognized Declan and Cora. Milo stood by my side, noticing my gaze, he spoke through gritted teeth, “What? Feeling sad?” I shook my head. “Declan, that bastard, isn’t worth my sadness.” “So obedient?” Milo leaned down, his breath hot against my ear. “Then I should reward you.” Saying this, he lowered his head and kissed my lips, his tongue prying open my teeth, plundering freely. I was kissed until my head spun, my whole body going limp in his arms. How was this rewarding me? It was clearly rewarding himself. Until Declan walked over, “Uncle?” Milo released me, and I clung to him, half my face hiding in his neck, breathing lightly. “So boring, even with a mask you can recognize me?” Milo laughed. At six-foot-three, he was hard not to recognize. Cora looked me up and down, her gaze unfriendly: “And who is this?” Milo ignored her. But Cora continued, “Uncle Milo, aren’t you afraid this woman might have ulterior motives? What if she’s trying to get into your bed to scam you?” I was speechless; this manipulative woman should just shut up if she can’t speak properly. Milo chuckled, his fingers brushing the back of my neck: “I actually hope she wants to get into my bed.” Hearing this, everyone turned to look at me. “How dull, can you still recognize me even with a mask on?” Milo chuckled. Standing at six foot three, he’s hard to miss. Cora gave me a scrutinizing look. “And who might this be?” Milo dismissed her with a smirk. But Cora pressed on, “Uncle Milo, aren’t you concerned something might be off about this woman? What if she’s just trying to climb into your bed and swindle you?” I was left speechless. This manipulative woman should just keep quiet if she can’t say anything sensible. Milo let out a mocking laugh, his fingers lightly touching the back of my neck. “I actually hope she’s interested in getting into my bed.” Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at me. Who hasn’t heard of the notorious heir of the Sullivan Family, known for his ruthless demeanor and lack of interest in women? Who could possibly make him want someone to share his bed? Cora forced an awkward smile. “Which family’s lady is Uncle Milo’s companion? Do I know her?” Milo raised an eyebrow, “You’re not worthy of knowing.” Cora’s expression turned sour as she glanced at Declan, “Asher, look at your uncle…” Declan, merely a powerless playboy within the Sullivan Family, took Cora’s hand and kissed it gently. “Uncle Milo’s always been like this, don’t take it to heart.” Watching Declan’s gentle gesture stirred a twinge of jealousy in me. So, he could be tender too. Noticing my gaze, Milo suddenly pinched my waist and bit softly on my neck. I let out a surprised yelp.
Declan stared at my partially hidden face, his eyes growing sharper. “That voice…” He murmured, reaching to remove my mask. Instinctively, I stepped back, my heart racing with countless thoughts flashing through my mind. Milo grabbed Declan’s wrist with such force that his knuckles turned white. “Rude.” The word was as cold as ice. Declan struggled in disbelief, but he couldn’t move. “Uncle, who is she?” Milo raised an eyebrow and replied with a hint of mischief, “Of course, she’s your Aunt Adeline.” Declan’s face turned pale, hesitating to speak. An indescribable feeling spread within him. The woman in Uncle Milo’s arms felt eerily familiar. The answer hovered on the tip of his tongue. But he dared not believe it. … Milo released him and instead held my hand, gently pressing it to his lips. The gesture was intensely intimate. My face flushed, and I tried to pull away, but he playfully bit my finger. “Don’t hide.” There was laughter in his eyes, clearly intentional. “Uncle Milo, is your date someone I know?” Declan asked again, unwilling to give up. Milo raised an eyebrow, “Perhaps.” I stiffened slightly, looking at Milo with pleading eyes. This man always had an unpredictable nature, and revealing my identity at a time like this… What of the Harper Family’s reputation? Please don’t… Milo slightly curled his lips, leaning closer to me, “Call me ‘husband,’ and I’ll help you.” This guy was truly wicked. The atmosphere felt tense, and Milo suddenly chuckled softly. “Let’s go, it’s dreadfully boring here.” I followed him, letting him lead me through the crowd. Behind us was Declan’s gaze, intense enough to burn right through me. 6 Milo took me to the suite on the top floor of “The Nightfall.” In the center of the room was a massive round bed, next to a floor-to-ceiling window offering a view of the entire cityscape of Kyoto. “What’s the matter? Are you scared?” Milo raised an eyebrow, amusement dancing in his eyes. I quietly replied, “No.” Milo leisurely unfastened his tie, revealing a striking collarbone. “Where did the courage to bring me to ‘The Nightfall’ go?” “I just wanted to clear things up with Declan.” I turned my face away. “Is that so?” Milo walked towards me. “I’m sorry then, that you couldn’t clear things up.” He feigned regret with a slight pout. Suddenly, he bit my lip fiercely. “Liar, you clearly can’t forget.” I hadn’t expected him to hold such a grudge. “The ruthless heir is actually jealous?” I teased him with a smile. Not afraid at all. “Yes, jealous.” … Milo emerged from the shower, bare-chested. Water droplets trickled down his toned body, accentuating his perfect muscles. Noticing my gaze, he smirked lightly. “Seen enough?” I turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist, pulling me into his embrace. “You said you liked it, why not touch?” Milo guided my hand to his strong chest. “I…” I swallowed hard. Was I really supposed to touch? Before I could respond, Milo leaned down to kiss me. He pressed me against the wall, his hands firmly on my waist, his breath hot. “Compared to that loser, who makes you happier?” I closed my eyes, not wanting to answer. Milo’s kisses traveled from my lips to my ear, “Not answering? Fine, I’ll just have to show you.” His lips trailed down my neck. My legs went weak, barely able to stand. “Aren’t I much better than him? I’m bigger…” I hurriedly covered his mouth, “Stop it!” Milo looked at me, amused, and suddenly scooped me up, carrying me to the bed. Water droplets from his hair dripped onto my face. “Adeline, you can’t escape.” He kissed me forcefully, but then there was a loud knocking on the door. “Adeline Harper, I know you’re in there.” I’m sorry, but it seems there’s no actual Chinese text provided for translation. Could you please provide the text you’d like translated? 7. The noise outside suddenly grew louder, mixed with the slurred speech of someone drunk. It was Declan. I tensed up. How did he find this place?
