Chapter 574
“What else could it be?”
“Well… since it was both our first time, why not… consider it a mutual offset?”
Phoebe blushed, trying to slip away, but Howard swiftly caught the back of her neck.
“Where do you think you’re going? I’m not a promiscuous man, Phoebe. Since we slept together, I’ll
take responsibility,”
#BUL “But…”
“No ‘buts“!
His gaze was exceptionally determined.
“I’ll clear all the obstacles on our future path. You won’t be alone anymore as I’ll cherish and adore you.
Just focus on chasing your dreams in the entertainment industry and leave your happiness and joy to
me!!!
Phoebe stared at him in a daze, deeply moved.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDespite thinking she had securely shut her heart after Caleb’s infidelity, Howard had managed to sneak
in.
To be cherished and loved, to have a home of her own… they were things she had never dared to
dream of.
“Can you please not be so nice to me?” She sniffled, her voice tinged with tears.
Howard cupped her face, asking, “Why?”
“I’m afraid…
She was afraid of getting too deeply involved, afraid of experiencing a worse blow to her heart than
Caleb’s betrayal, falling into an even deeper abyss…
Howard seemed to understand what she was thinking and chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’m not Caleb. I’m
Howard Lawson, and my word is my bond.”
Holding back tears, Phoebe cautiously reminded him, “But please think it through. Do you really want to
be with me? I’ve never seen what my parents look like. I’ve lived in Farlem Orphanage for as long as I
can remember, and there’s no information about my parents there. I’m an abandoned child, a mistake
from birth.”
“It’s their loss for abandoning you. With me, you’ll always be cherished.”
He caressed her hand, gently kissing the back of it, and with a serious gaze, he continued, “Ms.
Chamberlain, I’d like to propose a new agreement. This time, you get to set the terms.”
Phoebe froze.

Howard was relinquishing all control to her, allowing her to change her mind whenever she wanted.
Was this to protect her sense of security?
In the approaching winter of late autumn, the wind was chilling. However, Phoebe felt a great warmth
wash over her soul.
Howard had warmed her heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSheena sat in the car, gradually leaving Mountville. She looked at the passing scenery, feeling a bit
sentimental.
If only she and Elliot could have a healthy and smooth relationship, like Corey and Barbara, or Howard
and Phoebe, enjoying simple and ordinary days of love.
While she appeared relaxed, her usually bright eyes lost their luster for the first time.
Lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang.
It was Corey.
“Nana, Ford told me you need something.”
Sheena took a deep breath and said, “Yes…”
Looking at his schedule, Corey informed her, “I have a lot on my plate in the next two days, so I may
not be able to return to Svelton. Tell me what you need over the phone, and if I can handle it, I’ll take
care of it for you.”
“Thank you, Corey.” Sheena hesitated for a long time before adding, “Corey, I hope you can help me
get Nathaniel released from the high–security prison on bail!”
Corey remained silent, seemingly surprised by her request.
