The room was no different from usual. The space beside him showed no signs of having been slept in, and even his body felt unchanged.

Ethan fell back onto the bed, a bitter smile tugging at his lips.

Of course it was a dream.

It made sense.

Even if she had returned, who knew how much she must hate him now? How could she possibly come back to him willingly?

He stared at the ceiling. The lingering warmth from the dream still filled the room, giving it a tender intimacy.

Ten minutes later, he got out of bed.

Today, Stonewarden Group’s new person in charge was coming to sign the contract. It was a day worth looking forward to.

After getting ready and heading downstairs, his steps suddenly halted.

His gaze swept across the dining room.

“What are you doing here?”

“I just got here.”

Roxanne smiled warmly, as if their previous conflict had never happened, as if they were still old friends. “I brought breakfast. After we eat, I’ll go to the office with you.”

“It’s out of your way.”

Ethan didn’t even glance at her, instead going to pour himself a glass of water instead.

Roxanne didn’t seem to mind, admiring his tallgure. “You’re signing with Stonewarden Group today. As the former representative, I should be there, right? It doesn’t matter if it’s out of the way. I’ll follow you in my car.”

Ethan frowned and glanced at her but said nothing.

He set down his glass and turned to leave, then suddenly paused. “By the way…

He turned his head, his gaze sharp as a blade.

”

“I don’t know how you got the door code, but M West, please don’t let yourself in from now on. Getting the police involved for trespassing wouldn’t look good.”

Roxanne was speechless.

Watching Ethan’s unforgiving back, her breathing grew heavier.

It was fine. As long as she could confirm whether that person was really Dawn today, she could figure out another plan.

What if…

It wasn’t her at all?

Clinging to this hope, Roxanne hurried to follow

In the Jackson Group conference room, a woman sat with a group of bodyguards behind her. She had been sitting there for quite a while.

She casually examined her nails. The starry gradient faded to black, the tips slightly grown out, but fortunately her fingers were fair and long, so it didn’t look bad.

Tony stood at the door, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

No wonder his boss had been acting so strange.

It really was Ms. Porter!

But Dawn looked completely different from before, like an entirely different person, acting as if she didn’t even recognize him.

That didn’t make sense.

Could she have amnesia?

With this thought, countless soap opera scenarios flashed through Tony’s mind.

Just as he was hesitating whether to go up and greet her, he heard faint commotion behind him. The boss had arrived.

He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went out

“Where is she?”

“Inside.”

Seeing his boss about to walk right in, Tony quickly called out to him. His hesitant gaze swept over Roxanne behind them as he said in a low voice, “Boss, um … you might want to brace

yourself?”

Ethan’s eyes flickered, his hand tightening in his pants pocket.

He paused for a moment, then his steps became even more urgent.

At the door, he stopped.

The surge of emotion inside him intensified.

He didn’t need anyone to tell him what he would see when he opened this door. The woman who haunted his dreams was on the other side.

Roxanne took in every detail of Ethan’s reaction. At this moment, she was even more nervous than he was.

Unable to bear it any longer, she stepped forward first.

She pushed the door open.

Directly across from them, the woman in a black dress leaned casually against a chair. Her fingers twirled a strand of hair, exuding an alluring yet sophisticated charm.

As they appeared at the door, an ambiguous smile curved the corners of her lips.

“I’ve heard for so long about how deeply Mr. Jackson and his fiancée love each other. I thought people were exaggerating, but seeing you both today, you really do make quite the pair.”

After Dawn finished speaking, she even turned her head to glance at Mason beside her.
