Back to My Worst Birthday and Starting Anew
Chapter 427 Stay with Me
Without hesitation, Emyr quickly began removing his shirt.
What’s he doing?
There’s really no need to hurry; after all, I custom–made it for him, so the fit is guaranteed.

But the way he eagerly stripped, his eyes shining with excitement, made Charmaine’s mind wander. She found herself wanting to see the scene she’d often imagined–him wearing that suit.
She became a little distracted until his well–defined chest and abs came into view. Charmaine blinked, surprised, as she watched him slowly pull on the white shirt.
Then, his hands moved to the waistband of his pajama pants…
“Are you … sure you want to keep watching me change?”
“Ahem!”
Caught by his teasing gaze, Charmaine raised both hands in a gesture of innocence and turned her back to him.
But the wardrobe had mirrored glass, so even as she turned away, his tall, lean silhouette remained visible, half–hidden but still clearly in view.
Should I be polite and close my eyes?
But then again, this isn’t the first time I’ve seen him like this. Maybe I don’t need to be that shy.
Wait… lately, he’s been doing more rehab exercises. His figure seems even sharper than before …
“All done.”
Charmaine turned back, and her eyes lit up with admiration.
The deep blue color was striking, different from anything he usually wore. Charmaine had chosen it herself and added a few delicate pink tones. When he wore it, the suit exuded a certain elegance.
His hair was slightly tousled, not styled, and clung to his head–a sharp contrast to his usual neat, business- like look. There was a hint of a soft, innocent energy in his bright eyes as he gazed at her with a mix of curiosity and warmth.
When Emyr noticed her still staring, his lips curved into a playful smile. He raised an eyebrow. “What’s that smile for?”
Charmaine couldn’t help it and giggled softly. “With that suit on, you look like you’ve turned back a few years!”
Emyr froze.
Do I usually look very old?

Emyr stood still, allowing her to have her fun.

Although his butt might be soft, Charmaine only squeezed it a couple of times, knowing not to take her teasing too far.
Noticing the time, she split the small cake in half, handing him one piece.
“Alright, after we finish the cake, I’ll leave you to get some rest.”
Emyr’s gaze stayed focused on her, never blinking. “Aren’t you going to stay with me?”
Charmaine wagged a finger at him playfully, glancing away. “I promised Kane he could come back after 1:00 a.m., when everything was finished. It’s getting late.”
Of course, she didn’t mention the shocked look on Kane’s face when she told him she only needed an hour with Emyr. “Are you sure he will only take an hour?”
Charmaine stuck out her tongue, but just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something. “Do you want me to give you a shot? When I came in earlier, it sounded like you were having a nightmare.”
Emyr’s expression didn’t change. “No need. I had a bit of wine, and it gave me a headache.”
“Oh, in that case, rest up. Don’t stay up too late.”
Just as she was about to leave, Emyr called out, “Come here.”
“Hmm?”
Charmaine walked back toward him, puzzled.
Before she could even reach the bedside, his arm shot out, pulling her into his embrace.
Before she could react, his lips met hers in a deep kiss. As their breaths intertwined, she faintly heard him murmur in a low voice, “Next time, I’m not staying with Kane and the others.”
Charmaine nearly laughed. She playfully rubbed the corner of her mouth and pushed him away, quickly jogging out of the room.
She felt a little nervous that Satan might suddenly change his mind and call Kane to tell them to stay outside tonight.

After the Cross Group’s annual party concluded, a trending topic quietly climbed to the top of the
headlines.
The reason was simple: An employee who had won the prize in the raffle shared a photo of the prize
online, sparking a wave of online discussion.
“I can’t believe it! The raffle prize was an Eragos apartment, 500 square feet, with a renovation allowance of 250 dollars per square feet? Is this a company
or my hometown in my past life?”
“They didn’t even mention the renovation allowance. Just the price of that Eragos apartment, how much per

price is 2,500 per square feet.”

“Wow! It’s always other people’s company, other people’s annual party that’s better!”
“Hahaha, I’m also with the Cross Group. This year, everyone’s vacationing in Sudbay, but I was unlucky with the draw. I only won the fifth prize–a 10–thousand–dollar bonus.”
