This situation ended up benefiting Wayne.
Originally, he had planned to return home after lunch and continue working on his script. However, because the experience was so enjoyable, he stayed until dinner time. In fact, if he didn’t have to attend the charity auction organized by the Beverly Hills Fire Department and Police Department that evening, he might have stayed the night.
It’s worth mentioning that Kate Beckinsale, who wasn’t supposed to divorce her current hu...

Between towering skyscrapers, the early winter sun struggled to pierce through the clouds, casting a warm, gentle glow over this bustling metropolis...

As Shinji slammed his palm onto the ground,
the Curse Mark of Heaven significantly enhanced his bodily control. With just a single hand seal, chakra was guided along predetermined paths, forming a network that unleashed powerful ninjutsu.
Intricate patterns of a massive technique spread outward, and in an instant, a pale red barrier rose from the ground!

Both Jennifer and Karen’s faces were ones Adam had admired in his past life. Both were his type.
However, compared to the fiery and glamorous Jennifer, Karen—wearing glasses and dressed plainly with a slightly rustic vibe—was far more intriguing to Adam.
