With a sigh, she released her grip on him, her body surrendering to the fatigue that had set in. "You know, you're seriously tall. My feet are absolutely killing me," she exclaimed, her playful tone laced with a hint of exhaustion. Owen felt a thrill in his chest at her lighthearted complaint, his heart racing unexpectedly.
"My fault," he replied, his voice rough, as if it had been worn down by the grit of sandpaper. A rush of warmth crept into Autumn's cheeks, prompting her to bury her face against his chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. "It's not like I'm blaming you..." she mumbled, a wave of embarrassment washing over her. Owen chuckled softly, a sound that made her stomach flutter. "Yeah, I get it," he said, his tone reassuring. Yet, that only served to fluster Autumn further. What could he possibly understand? she mused, her mind racing.
He can't even manage a kiss properly, so how could he grasp all these complicated feelings? Recalling the sweetness of Owen's hesitant kiss, she asked, her curiosity piqued, "Was that... your first kiss?" Owen was taken aback by her question, his body tensing as if caught off-guard. The rigid look on his face told Autumn everything she needed to know. In a desperate attempt to contain her laughter, she forced herself to think of the most somber things she could conjure. Yet, despite her efforts, Owen caught the glimmer of mirth dancing in her eyes. Feigning a fierce glare, he asked, "What?
Is it illegal to still have your first kiss?" "Pfft-" Autumn was already on the verge of laughter, and Owen's innocent remark pushed her over the edge. "Hahahaha..." The realization hit her like a wave; Owen was almost thirty and had never been kissed. A man this pure was practically a mythical creature. Her heart swelled with joy and disbelief. She felt incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon such a wonderful guy; it was as if the universe had conspired in her favor. It was a testament to the idea that good things come to those who earn them.
Compared to a scumbag like Mars Wright, Owen was a breath of fresh air. With this revelation about his first kiss, Mars didn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence. Men who couldn't control themselves should face dire consequences. "Stop laughing," Owen said, his face darkening at her teasing. However, he couldn't bring himself to utter anything harsh, opting instead for a mock serious expression. "Autumn, please stop laughing." The more he tried to maintain his stern demeanor, the more laughter bubbled within her.

Finally, worn down by her amusement, Owen couldn't help but join in. "Okay, just... keep this between us. Don't you dare tell anyone," he insisted, his tone half-serious, half-joking. Owen had never thought there was anything wrong with being a late bloomer in the kissing department. He was simply worried that Autumn might think poorly of his skills, which could tarnish his image in her eyes. Autumn felt a rush of warmth in her cheeks. "Do you really think I'd share something like this with anyone else?" "Ahem." Owen was clearly a novice in these matters, utterly clueless.
They exchanged awkward glances for a few moments before Owen broke the silence. "Let me walk you back to your room. You should get some rest." Autumn nodded, feeling content and a little drowsy. Her mind was still buzzing with excitement from solidifying her relationship with Owen. But with her pregnancy weighing on her, the drowsiness was undeniable. As they walked, Owen gently placed one hand on her arm, wrapping the other around her waist. He was so careful, treating her as if she were a delicate piece of porcelain. Autumn wanted to assert that she wasn't that fragile.
But seeing the delight on his face, she decided to keep her thoughts to herself. When they arrived at her bedroom door, Autumn was about to step inside when Owen spoke up. "Since we've decided to give this relationship a go, does that mean I can move in?" Autumn froze, her heart racing. "You want to move in here?" she asked, disbelief coloring her voice. Owen raised an eyebrow, his tone utterly matter-of-fact. "Shouldn't I?" "What kind of couple sleeps in separate rooms?
Besides, you're pregnant." "You'll definitely need someone around to look after you, right?" He had a valid point, and for a moment, Autumn found herself at a loss for words. After a moment of contemplation, she finally nodded. "Okay." It was a step they had to take sooner or later. Especially since she had just agreed to explore this relationship with him. If she outright rejected his request to move in, she worried Owen might think she wasn't serious about them. Besides, he was right. As her pregnancy progressed, having someone around would be essential.
Instead of burdening others with constant checks on her well-being, it made perfect sense to rely on the baby's father. "I'll move my stuff in tomorrow, then," Owen declared, his expression earnest. He didn't have many belongings; he could have easily moved in that very night. But he was considerate enough to grant her a night to acclimate to the idea. Rushing things wouldn't benefit their budding relationship. Autumn appreciated his thoughtfulness. Before she closed the door, she flashed him a warm smile.
"Goodnight, then." "Goodnight," he replied, his eyes reflecting a mix of excitement and tenderness. Owen lingered for a moment, watching until Autumn's door clicked shut before he turned to leave. On the other side of the door, Autumn waited until the sound of his footsteps faded into silence before slipping back into bed. She had anticipated that the shift in her relationship with Owen would keep her tossing and turning all night. But as soon as her head hit the pillow, a wave of sleepiness washed over her, and before long, she was in a deep slumber.
In her dreams, she and Owen took their child to an amusement park, and the three of them reveled in the joy of family life. It was a scene she could hardly have envisioned during her time with Mars. After all, Mars had always despised places like that. He had never been willing to venture out with her just for the sake of fun. When Autumn recalled her attempts to coax Mars into a date, he would always respond with excuses, claiming that the company was at a critical juncture, and any delay could spell disaster. "Autumn, we've come this far.
Do we really need to go on dates like a couple of kids to keep our relationship strong?" "Can't you just be more understanding? Running the company every day is exhausting." At the time, his words had filled her with guilt. She thought she was the one being unreasonable. But it became clear to her later that Mars wasn't fatigued from the demands of the company; he was drained because his heart-and his time-was divided among too many distractions. That was why he never had time for her. Gratefully, she knew she would never have to endure that kind of existence again.
A radiant smile spread across Autumn's face. Now that she was free from that toxic relationship, every day from this point forward would be a day filled with hope and happiness. Time had passed since the birthday party. Mars Wright was finally, painfully, coming to terms with the reality of his divorce from Autumn and the impending collapse of Cloudbreak. Hugo and Myers had no intention of sticking around for long and soon announced their departure. It was only after Mars threatened to take drastic measures that they reluctantly agreed to stay and help him navigate the chaos he had created.
"Mr. Wright, Cloudbreak has no new orders..." As the assistant laid out the dire state of the company, Mars's jaw tightened, a flicker of panic evident in his eyes. "How could this happen so quickly... It's only been a few days!" The assistant's expression mirrored Mars's despair. "Those clients were with us solely because of Secretary Autumn. Now that she's launched her own company, they trust her more. They've all switched over to Lopez Cloud." Mars's face drained of color.
"Autumn Lopez..." Conclusion In the quiet aftermath of her decision, Autumn felt an overwhelming sense of peace settle over her heart. The weight of her past relationship with Mars had begun to lift, replaced by the warmth of new beginnings with Owen. As she lay in bed, the image of their future together danced in her mind, vibrant and full of promise. No longer shackled by guilt or the burdens of a toxic love, she embraced the joy that came with the prospect of family life.
The laughter they shared, the gentle teasing, and the simple act of him wanting to be there for her filled her with hope. It was a stark contrast to the loneliness she had experienced before, a reminder that love could be nurturing and supportive rather than draining and suffocating. Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, Owen walked away with a heart full of excitement and anticipation. The prospect of moving in with Autumn felt like a leap into the unknown, yet it was a leap he was more than willing to take.
As Autumn adjusts to having Owen by her side, the vulnerabilities and joys of their situation will unfold, leading to moments that may test their commitment and understanding of each other. Meanwhile, the fallout from Autumn's past with Mars Wright looms large. As Mars grapples with the consequences of his actions and the unraveling of Cloudbreak, readers can anticipate dramatic confrontations and revelations that will not only affect him but also impact Autumn's newfound peace. Will Mars attempt to reclaim his lost power, or will he finally confront the truth of his toxic behavior?
As the tension escalates, the stakes will rise, leaving readers on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting how Autumn and Owen will navigate the challenges that arise from their pasts and the uncertain future ahead. admin
