Chapter 390:

The next morning, Khloe awoke from a peaceful, deep sleep in the soft, cozy bed, with the sun already shining brightly outside. Ever since starting preparations for the biopharmaceutical competition, she hadn’t slept this soundly. As she recalled her intimate moment with Henrik the previous day, she could still feel a slight numbness in her back.

She got out of bed, slipped into her slippers, and walked out of the room. As expected, she saw Henrik standing by the glass window. His stunningly handsome face gleamed in the sunlight as he, wearing an apron, brought his homemade dishes to the table.

It seemed almost cruel to remind him that their engagement was fake, and Khloe experienced a sharp twinge of guilt.
