I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Emmett Worthington’s question revealed his respect for Meredith, focusing not on why Terrence would choose her but rather on what she saw in Terrence, often perceived as an unromantic and stoic man. His framing recognized Terrence’s reputed indifference to romance, which they found amusing.

Meredith, smiling at the description, agreed that she too had once seen Terrence as somewhat cold. She shyly looked at him and said, “Actually, he’s quite adorable and not at all cold.” This unexpected description of Terrence as “adorable” surprised everyone at the table, as it was not a trait typically associated with him.

Even Bianca laughed, “Meredith, you’re the first to describe Terry as adorable. He usually has such a serious demeanor, but he was indeed quite cute as a child, chubby and like a little meatball.”

Curious, Emmett pressed, “Mrs. Sterling, how is Mr. Sterling adorable in private?” Mr. Fielding also chimed in, intrigued by the idea that Terrence had pursued Meredith.

As the gossip spread, Terrence, with a smile, wrapped his arm around Meredith’s waist, “Gentlemen, please, my wife is quite shy. Let me tell you, it was I who pursued her, and I who proposed. Once we set the date for the wedding, you’ll all receive invitations.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

This admission was big news. Terrence Sterling’s reputation as a doting husband began that moment, his protectiveness and affection for Meredith clear for all to see. Previously known for his stoic demeanor, now the smile on his face was undeniable-a change visible to everyone.

The dinner shifted away from business to more personal stories about children’s mischiefs and school performances. These men, seemingly business-focused, shared parenting advice with Terrence, who was soon to be a father. Terrence, showing genuine interest, asked several questions about child-rearing.

Meredith was somewhat surprised. So, these powerful men often discussed ordinary family matters when dining privately? It appeared that no matter how formidable they were in the business world, their hearts were firmly at home.

Throughout the evening, Terrence looked after Meredith, fetching tissues, pouring water, his actions smooth and natural-a clear sign of his frequent care. Bianca served Meredith a bowl of soup, claiming it was beneficial for her, “Try this, it’s good for you.”

“Thank you… Bianca,” Meredith replied, adjusting to the informal address.

Chloe, watching this warm interaction, frowned, feeling a premonition of discomfort. A wild suspicion crossed her mind at her first glimpse of Meredith: could she be the child Bianca had lost years ago? The resemblance between Meredith’s eyes and Bianca’s was striking, even their facial features bore some similarity.

Chloe vividly remembered a distinctive blue moon-shaped birthmark on Bianca’s daughter’s waist. She tried to sneak a glance at Meredith’s waist area, but her clothing covered any view, yet she couldn’t resist looking again.
