Wilson Zoha shrugged and looked at the woman in front of him: “Joyce Albert, I am your husband. Is it not customary for me to be in your room? What is surprising about this?”
Upon hearing his statement, Joyce stared at Wilson in astonishment. It was evident that he knew their relationship was not a genuine husband and wife. Every time they had to use this pretense, she didn’t understand what he meant.
“Wilson, you…” Just as she was about to say something, Joyce noticed the decorations in her room, and she was so shocked that her eyes widened.
Initially, she was only focused on catching a thief and didn’t pay attention to the room. Now, she was starting to examine it closely.
She noticed that the presidential–class bedroom was meticulously decorated. The expensive solid wood floor was covered in red rose petals, emitting a fragrant, romantic, and warm ambiance.
In the center of the large bed, there was a cake adorned with a red ribbon. Several small candles decorated the cake, although they had not been lit yet, they were enough to make Joyce’s heart tremble.
Yes, today was Joyce birthday, but she hadn’t celebrated it like this in a long time, so she had forgotten about it herself.
Seeing the large cake in the room, Joyce suddenly had a thought…
Even she herself forgot her birthday, how could Wilson remember?
Joyce remained stunned for a while before regaining her composure. Her eyes became moist, and she struggled to hold back the tears. She looked at Wilson with a complex expression and asked, “Wilson, do you remember my birthday?”
Similar to Joyce’s initial question, Wilson wore a proud smile and replied, “Why wouldn’t I remember my own wife’s birthday?”
“But…”
“Never mind, no ‘buts.’ Let’s blow out the birthday candles.” Wilson led Joyce to the bedside, instructed her to sit on the bed, and then they took turns lighting the candles on the cake. They turned off the lights in the room, and he positioned himself in front of Joyce once again.
In that moment, the candlelight flickered, casting the shadows of a man and a woman on the wall, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.
As Joyce observed everything in front of her, a sense of unreality lingered in her mind. When was the last time she celebrated her birthday? It seemed like the first year she was in love with Dicky Johnson. After that, she was the only one who remembered Dicky’s birthday, but he never remembered hers, causing her to slowly forget her own birthday.
“What are you thinking? Quickly make a wish and blow out the candles.” Wilson’s gentle voice interrupted Joyce’s chaotic thoughts.
Joyce hesitated for a moment, then placed her hands on her chest, closed her eyes, and made a wish.

Suddenly, Joyce opened her eyes and blew out the candles on the cake. The room immediately plunged into darkness due to the absence of candlelight.
Just as Joyce was about to move and turn on the lights, she felt her waist tighten. Wilson embraced her from behind and gently rested his chin on her shoulder.
“Joyce…” His voice was low, accompanied by silence, causing Joyce’s heart to tremble.
Consciously trying to free herself from Wilson’s embrace, Joyce realized that his grip on her waist wasn’t too strong, but she couldn’t move at all.
“Wilson, you…”
“Don’t speak, listen to me.” Wilson interrupted Joyce’s words, his tone serious and his charm unquestionable. “On our first wedding anniversary, I couldn’t give you anything. I could only give myself to you. From today onwards, I no longer want to be a husband and wife in name only.”
Wilson’s words fell, and the room fell silent.
Joyce opened her mouth hesitantly, her heart controllable but trembling. Wilson said that he didn’t want to be a husband and wife in name only. Did that mean he wanted to be a genuine husband and wife? Did it mean… he liked her?
As that thought crossed her mind, Joyce immediately shook her head. No, it couldn’t be… There were many women around Wilson, and there was Madison Chris, who was carrying his child.
Even if she believed that Wilson was sincere, she couldn’t overlook the gap created by Madison.
Thinking about this, Joyce didn’t even realize that she was hurting herself.
“Wilson, please don’t joke with me anymore.” Joyce intentionally spoke in a cold tone, then tried to break free from Wilson’s embrace.
However, no matter how hard she tried, the man remained indifferent. His hands gripping her waist felt like two heavy chains, and Joyce was tightly trapped.
“I’m not joking, Joyce. Can’t you see that I genuinely like you?” Wilson’s tone was slightly unpleasant and dangerous. His beautiful eyes gazed at her in the darkness, seemingly emitting their own light.
Joyce was taken aback by Wilson’s words. He spoke with conviction, and she did sense a change in his attitude towards her.
Helping him, caring for him, protecting him… If she didn’t know about his relationship with Madison, she might have genuinely believed that she was in love with him.
But now…
Perhaps Wilson was merely interested in her, just like the countless girlfriends he had mentioned before. He would play around and once he lost interest, he would ignore her.
He was a high–level president, capable of fooling around, but she couldn’t. She was just an ordinary person who wanted to find someone who would sincerely treat her for life, someone she could be inseparable from forever, just like her wish before blowing out the birthday candles.”

Therefore, Joyce coldly said, “I’m sorry, Wilson, it may disappoint you, but I don’t want to be husband and wife with you.”
This was the first time Joyce spoke to Wilson in such a cold tone, and even she was surprised by her own words. But it was the only way to create a clear distance between Wilson and herself, allowing her to completely dispel any lingering thoughts.
Behind her, Wilson remained silent. The air felt still and what strange. Seizing this opportunity,
Joyce easily escaped from Wilson’s grasp and ran towards the front door without a second thought.
Joyce didn’t know why she had such a strong desire to escape. After all, she couldn’t stay here any longer, afraid that she would regret her decision.
She heard footsteps behind her, but Joyce didn’t have time to pay attention. She only knew that she had to keep running until she reached the hotel door. However, her body suddenly froze upon seeing the sudden appearance of a figure, and her footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
“Joyce, why are you in such a hurry?” Dicky’s confused and surprised voice reached Joyce’s ears.
