This hotel is in a prime Ocean City location .
Working here is a rare opportunity for you .
You should thank Miss Fiona.
Surrounded and unable to move , I reluctantly replied , Thank you , but I already have a job .
Photography .
As soon as I mentioned photography , Gideon glanced at me with a complex expression , his lips twitching slightly .
He averted his gaze , his tone indifferent .
How much can you really earn from photography ? Hobbies dont pay the bills .
Since were all acquaintances , I can set you up with a job .
I was taken aback , then realized he misunderstood me .
My love for photography wasnt because I still harbored feelings for Gideon .
In fact , when I saw that suicide note in my previous life , I had already given up completely .
When I returned to life , I found all my money had been spent on photography equipment .
I couldnt sell it second hand , so I had no choice but to use it myself .
Eventually , I genuinely fell in love with photography .
This time around , its not about pleasing others ; its for myself .
I politely declined Gideon again , my tone courteous yet distant .
My hobby is enough to cover my expenses , but thanks for your concern .
Seeing my ingratitude , a flash of anger crossed Gideons face .
If you dont seize the opportunity Im offering , dont come crying to me later ! I stayed silent , not telling him that now , my photography work is featured in several national publications and top international magazines .
The various licensing fees add up to no less than Gideons income .
But even if I said it , hed probably dismiss it as boasting .
After all , in my crumpled pajamas , I did look quite shabby .
Its my sons fault ; he insisted I play with him in the sandbox .
When I turned around , he had slipped downstairs again .
I hadnt had time to change clothes before chasing after him .
Just as I was thinking of an excuse to leave , the waiter seemed to have noticed something .
He pointed at my clothes and said , Balenciaga ? Where did you find that outfit ? Are you a cleaner here , stealing from guests rooms ? I couldnt help but frown .
Why cant these clothes be mine ? Fiona sneered , mocking , Yours ? Can you afford them ? What wealthy person would run around dressed so casually like you ? She pretended to cover her nose .
So dirty , you probably wore it without washing .
Gideon looked at me , his eyebrows furrowed tightly .
Adeline , have you really fallen to this state and still refuse to admit it ? I didnt want to engage with them , so I directly addressed the waiter .
If you really think I stole something , feel free to call the police now .
I knew he was trying to please Fiona by stepping on me .
Sure enough , his bravado dwindled immediately as he mumbled , If it werent for the big shots at the hotel today , Id have called the police on you already Fionas eyes lit up , quickly picking up on it .

Is it Mr.
Lowe ? I heard hes here in Ocean City with his family , staying at this hotel .
Gideon nodded , a look of anticipation in his eyes .
The project our company is working on would benefit greatly from the Lowe familys support : The mention of Mr.
Lowe sparked a flurry of discussion , as if a match had been struck in dry tinder .
9:44 AM S Were at this banquet today hoping to meet Mr.
Lowe , arent we ? This entire building is owned by his family .
I heard he got married and had a child in his early twenties , but who did he marry ? As the crowd was discussing , the lobby manager rushed in , sweating profusely , followed by a group of people .
Everyone , has anyone seen a seven year old boy around here , about this tall ? The manager , wiping his sweat , searched the hall anxiously .
Someone quick on the uptake guessed immediately , seeing the big commotion .
Is it the Lowe familys young master ? I heard hes seven this year .
The banquet guests got enthusiastic , searching everywhere .
After all , finding him could be a chance to connect with the Lowe family .
Gideon and Fiona joined the search , leaving me alone .
I watched the chaotic hall and headed straight to the dessert area .
Sure enough , I found my son there , his face covered in cream .
With a stern face , I extended my hand .
Come here .
Startled , my son clung to the table leg .
No.
Just as I was about to pull him over , Fiona appeared out of nowhere , self righteously blocking me .
Adeline , what are you doing ! Even if you want to connect with the Lowe family , you shouldnt lay hands on a child ! Gideon arrived upon hearing the commotion , his eyes full of disappointment as he looked at me .
Adeline , I cant believe youd do something like this for fame and fortune .
The waiter grabbed the manager to complain .
This woman barged into the banquet and stole another customers clothes ! The managers face turned cold immediately , calling for the security guard .
Arrest this thief and send her to the police ! If she scares the young master , none of you will keep your jobs ! A satisfied gleam flashed in Fionas eyes as she bent down , putting on a kind face toward the Lowe familys young master .
Come here , auntie will protect you .
My son ignored her , and to everyones shock , carefully reached out to hold my hand .
Mom , I know I was wrong .
Became EVIPE Red all GVI istoria I twisted his ear , speaking coldly, Did you forget what the doctor said ? You have cavities , and youre still sneaking sweets ! Seeing my son grimacing in pain , Fiona hurriedly accused me .
If he wants to eat , let him ! Who are you to stop him ? I replied calmly , Im his mother .
Why shouldnt I ? Only then did Fiona realize what my son had called me .
She fell silent , her eyes darting between my son and me .
I let go , and my son immediately clung to me , trying to please .
Mom , I only ate a little .
I wont get cavities .
His cream covered face smeared onto me .
I pulled him away , annoyed .
Just wait until your dad finds out .
Lets see how he deals with you ! My son , in his tooth changing stage , loves sweets and has several cavities .
When his teeth hurt , Lachlan feels terrible , but he cant resist our sons pleading and always turns a blind eye .
This time , while on vacation , Lachlan was called away by the company , and I was strict with him .
Yet he sneaked downstairs to the banquet to steal sweets .
Seeing my stern face , my son clung to my leg , trying to win me over .
Mom , I wont dare again .
The manager , trembling on the side, lowered his voice , Youre , youre Mr.
Lowes wife ? I nodded calmly .
Yes He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead , quickly foreino a smile .
We failed to racconize won .
Would unn and the ununa master lika la nn 9:44 AM r He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead , quickly forcing a smile .
We failed to recognize you .
Would you and the young master like to go upstairs to freshen up ? Looking at the mess of cream on us , I was about to follow the manager when someone grabbed me .
Turning around , it was Gideon .
He opened his mouth , struggling to find words .
Youre married ? And have a child ? I pulled my sleeve free , shrugging nonchalantly .
Yes , I got married after graduation .
Lachlan and Imet through photography .
While shooting abroad , he had a hiking accident and fell off a slope .
The area was remote , with poor signal .
I struggled to get him back up .
While waiting for rescue , he curiously browsed my past works and started chatting with me .
We discovered many shared interests .
By the time we returned home , we were already together .
To my surprise , his family didnt look down on my background .
Lachlan smiled , looking at me with determination .
Adeline , your character and personality were my deciding factors .
I thought my past with Gideon would make it hard to love again .
But Lachlan showed me that love and being loved are mutual .
Looking back at my past lifes pain and struggles , they seemed so distant now .
My son urged me from my arms .
Mom , lets go back to find dad .
I want to play with him .
But Gideon wouldnt let go , staring at me relentlessly .
Stop joking .
Didnt you say youd only love me in this life ? Did you say that ? A male voice sounded behind me , followed by a chorus of greetings .
Hello , Mr.
Lowe .
Hello , Director Lowe .
Boss .
Turning around , I saw that Lachlan had come down as well .
Holding my hand , he glanced at Gideon , his tone indifferent .
Is this your ex boyfriend ? Worried hed get jealous again , I quickly explained .
We were together when we were young , just for a month .
We havent been in touch for ten years .
Gideon stood firm , his eyes fixed intensely on me .
Dont push my buttons .
Didnt you say youd love only me in this lifetime ?
