Sherri looked at George and sat helplessly on the sofa. Finally, she had no choice and told him the truth.

“Drugged? You actually drugged John!” George pointed at Sherri, and he was shaking all over. “How many times have I warned you not to offend him! Don’t offend him! You ignored my words and even caused the Millan family to lose so much money!

He approached Sherri and once again raised his hand at her.

Sherri shut her eyes and raised her head, saying, “Alright. Hit me! Just hit me to death! If I’m dead, your life will be better!”

George was furious by Sherri’s attitude, but he did not slap her in the end.

He glared at Sherri and spoke through gritted teeth, “Sherri, stop acting foolish just because you’re John’s fiancee. You should be aware of how you get that position. If you don’t listen to my advice, you’ll definitely regret it one day!”

George snorted, shook his sleeves, and left.

.

Watching as George walked away, Sherri clenched her fists, letting her nails stabbed into her palms.

Her father was still the same, and he only had eyes for the money.

However, John was even more hateful. He truly meant his words when he wanted to stop working with them, and he really canceled the cooperation with the Millan family.

Humph. For Kathleen’s sake, he would actually go to such an extreme.

Kathleen was his enemy’s daughter and the idiot that he raised. If he married her, they would be everyone’s laughing stock. 

Sherri would like to see what John would do just to be with that foolish girl!

At Lambert’s residential villa.

Ever since John was drugged, he had never thrown a tantrum at Kathleen.

However, each time he saw her, his obsidian eyes would become extremely profound, as if he could suck others into his eyes.

Kathleen naturally felt John’s change in attitude, but she kept her lips sealed about the incident and acted as if nothing had happened like before. 

Time was passing by, and unknowingly, it was already Kathleen’s birthday.

It was bitterly cold in the midwinter of December, and heavy snow was falling from the sky, covering the ground in a shade of whites.

Kathleen stood by the window, watching the white snows in the courtyard, and the emotions in her eyes were complicated.

Barkley watched Kathleen, and he said, “Ms. Yates, dinner is ready!”

Kathleen nodded and hurriedly went to the dining hall.

In the spacious dining hall, delicious food filled the long table.

A small cake was placed in the center of the table. On top of the white cake, there was a pink and delicate little princess. The cake was also decorated with eight halved strawberries. Under the light, it looked remarkably adorable.

Kathleen was surprised, and she turned to Barkley. 

“Hehe. Young Master prepared this for you. He knew that today’s your birthday, so he asked me to arrange for your favorite food and the delicious cake!”

Kathleen said softly, “Thank you, Barkley!”

“Ms. Yates, don’t thank me, You should thank Young Master!”

Kathleen smiled faintly and took a seat at the dining table.

The kitchen had prepared sturgeon, mantis shrimp, braised pork balls in gravy, and some soups. They were indeed Kathleen’s favorite food.

Barkley served Kathleen a bowl of soup. 

Kathleen took the soup and silently enjoyed her meal.

Halfway through her meal, Kathleen put down her chopsticks and stared at the white cake in front of her.

Then, Barkley walked to her and asked, “Ms. Yates, do you want to eat the cake?”

Kathleen nodded.

Barkley quickly opened the box and took out some candles, saying, “Young Master informed us to prepare nineteen candles as it’s your nineteenth birthday.”

As he said that, he slowly placed the candles on the cake. Next, he took out a lighter and lit the candles.

Under the candle lights, the colorful candles were flickering with a faint glow, and it was so beautiful. 

Barkley chuckled. “Alright. Ms. Yates, you need to make a wish now!”

Kathleen giggled. Then, she closed her eyes and made a wish. After that, she blew the candles.

Even though she celebrated her birthday every year, today was the best birthday she had.

Barkley and the rest of the maids present also clapped and wished Kathleen. They even sang the birthday song for her. 

Kathleen showed a bashful smile.

Soon, Barkley considerately cut a slice of cake for Kathleen. “Ms. Yates, your cake!”

Kathleen ate the cake and thought it was really sweet. She gave the remaining cake to Barkley and the other maids at home.

After eating the cake, it was past ten at night. However, John was still not home. 

Kathleen went to her own room and washed up. Then, she laid in her bed.

She watched as the white snow fell, and she suddenly felt sleepy. Then, not long after she closed her eyes, she was sound asleep. 

The snowfall was getting heavier in the middle of the night, coming down like giant, dense flakes. 

A car slowly drove into Lambert’s residential villa, and it stopped at the hall entrance.

John opened the door and walked into the house in big steps. 

He appeared indifferent, and his red lips were tightly pursed. After that, he directly went to the second floor and pushed Kathleen’s door open.

Then, he saw the young lady sleeping soundly in the big bed.

The faint moonlight shone on her body, looking strangely gentle.

John stood by Kathleen’s bed as he silently watched her, and his obsidian eyes glimmered with blue lights. 

Kathleen felt that someone was beside her, and she could not help but open her eyes in a daze. When she saw John, she was startled. “Young Master, you’re back?”

John nodded. Then, he took an intricate box from his pocket and gave it to Kathleen. “Open it. This is your gift.”

Kathleen was dumbfounded, but she still took the box.

She opened it and saw a red heart-shaped necklace in the box.

Two hearts were attached, surrounded by silver lights. Even though it was dark, it was still exceptionally dazzling.

Kathleen hurriedly said, “Young Master, you don’t have to get me a gift!”

“You’re not allowed to reject me!” After saying that, John took the necklace and personally put it on for Kathleen. 

The red heart-shaped necklace fell perfectly on Kathleen’s collarbone. It was small and delicate, making Kathleen’s neck appear as long as a swan’s.

John nodded, and he reminded her, “You’re not allowed to remove it, okay?”

Kathleen bowed her head, touching the cold necklace. Then, she looked at John. 

His obsidian eyes were glistening with unreadable light, causing her heart to beat wildly.

Kathleen lowered her head slightly, and her cheeks were starting to redden.

Suddenly, John lifted her chin, carefully sizing Kathleen up and down, “From today onward, you’re nineteen!”

Kathleen was startled. John, he…

It was apparent what he meant. She could do the things she needed to do.

Kathleen blushed, and she lowered her gaze, not saying another word.

John stared at her beautiful side profile, wishing that he could swallow her whole.

He raised his brows, stooped over, and asked, “Why? Are you afraid of me?”

Kathleen shook her head. Then, she nodded.

John’s handsome face darkened. “What are you afraid of? I’m not a tiger!”

Kathleen had not answered him and was still avoiding his eyes.

She sat at the edge of the bed, and she appeared thin and weak. Her brows were slightly knitted, and her body was tense.
