Chapter 522:
The three of them moved into a cozy apartment. It wasn’t as grand as a villa, but it was perfect for their little
family. The decor was warm and inviting, making the space feel like home.
For Sophie, it was all a new adventure. She'd never spent tin the countryside before, and her excitement
bubbled over as she explored everything with wide-eyed curiosity. No matter where they went, she was always
smiling, eager to discover something new.
Jake, ever the doting father, followed Sophie closely, gently reminding her to be careful every few steps. He
couldn't help it; he just wanted to make sure she was safe.
With a little tto herself, Kallie turned her attention to the list of participants in the program. There were two
ordinary people and two celebrities. The ordinary participants cfrom different walks of life—one was a
student, and the other was a successful entrepreneur. Kallie herself fell into the latter category. Among the
celebrities was Elaine Webster, the elder sister of the girl Ewing had once mentioned.
Elaine was strikingly beautiful, with a bold, almost heroic presence. In an industry that favored delicate and

Kallie studied the unknown actress and found something oddly familiar about her. She couldn’t place it, though.
The memory danced just out of reach. Before Kallie could dwell on it, Jake slipped his arms around her from
behind, his warmth pressing against her back. He leaned down, his voice gentle. “It’s late. You should get some
rest. Sophie finally crashed after being so excited. I've run a warm bath for you. Go relax, and I'll have the maid
keep an eye on Sophie.”

Kallie turned around in his embrace, smiling up at him. “I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful.”
Jake held her hand tighter, his voice dropping to a smooth, teasing whisper. “I'm not just thoughtful like this...
Wantto show you in other ways?” His eyes darkened with desire, and Kallie caught the playful glint in them.
Without missing a beat, Kallie smacked his hand away, smirking. “Nice try. I'm going to bed.”
After her bath, Kallie stepped out of the bathroom to find Jake still on the bed, his face etched with a comical mix
of frustration and longing. The look in his dark eyes was unmistakable, like a wounded puppy staring at his
favorite toy just out of reach.
Drying her hair with a towel, Kallie raised an eyebrow. “What are you doing? Trying to get on my nerves?”
Jake, with all seriousness, pointed toward the window. “It looks like it’s going to rain.”
Kallie narrowed her eyes, catching his intent. “Don’t even start it. You're not afraid of thunder.”
