Growing up, Jack was a very obedient child, probably because Melody had been telling him how bad she had it for as long as he could remember, so he chose to put up with it, even though this mother made it hard for him most of the time.

When he was seven years old, he rescued a little kitten from outside, it snowed heavily that night, Melody came home and threw the kitten right into the snow, he didn't realize it until he woke up the next day, put on his clothes and ran out, only to find the kitten frozen to death.

"Jack, that wild cat has a lot of germs on it, next time don't bring it home, I'm doing this for your own good."

I'm doing this for your own good ......

She was trying to manipulate his life.

Jack slowly lowered his eyelashes, maybe he should have left the family's grasp when he met Serena.

"Jack, it's hard on Mommy's heart when you say things like that... ......"

Melody's eyes filled with tears and her lips trembled slightly.

    Someone in the audience finally recognized Sophie's identity, "Isn't that Miss Winters' family? I heard she's getting engaged, and sitting next to her, is that her fiancé?""Male talent, quite a match."Sophie's mouth dropped when she heard someone say that about her and Jack.Jack, however, pretended the voices around him didn't exist and sipped his drink quietly.Within moments, the manager brought up six girls.It had to be said that the looks of these girls were indeed first class, and if you took one of them out, they could hang most of the celebrities.The new stuff that arrived at the Ignite Spirits Bar really didn't fool anyone.Daniel was the owner of the place, so of course he had no reason to steal people from his customers, and he looked over at Jordan and Gabriel."Sir, see which one you like?"When he was done, he turned to Jack, "Jack, is there a guy you like?"Sophie's face immediately went white when she heard Daniel's words, she was sitting right next to Jack and thi

    But the anniversary of Grandpa's death is tomorrow, and the house in the countryside has already been taken over by that strange group of family members, so if they were to go to the countryside today, they definitely wouldn't be able to find a place to stay, so they would have to stay in a hotel in the county."Mary, let's find a hotel here and stay here, and then we'll go to the countryside to meet Grandpa tomorrow."Mary nodded her head, her eyes rolling up.She's long-legged and in poor health, so Serena called a taxi.Although this is a county town, it has developed well over the years, and there is a five-star hotel in the county, so she took Mary straight there.She asked for a room and helped Mary get in.They were both tired from the train ride, so Mary dipped her pillow and fell asleep.Serena tucked her in and remembered that it wasn't far from her high school and rushed out of the hotel, she wanted to visit the high school.The county is much colder than Hustleburg, and th

    Serena raised her eyes, her face streaked with tears, "I said divorce and I'm leaving the Infinity Realm and I want nothing more to do with the Harringtons.""Serena!!!"Matthew felt his chest shatter, it was a strange, strange feeling, as if an iron ring was thinly wrapped around his heart, bringing a slight, suffocating coldness."Don't say another word about the divorce."His tone was very strong, but it made Serena feel funny."Matthew, I've never understood why you won't let me go, you didn't marry me of your own free will, I know that very well, and what are you keeping me for now, are you in love with me?"As soon as her words left her mouth, the entire room seemed to fall silent, with only the hot breath coming out of each other's mouths, quickly cooling in the air and turning into a white mist.Matthew looked at her quietly, his eyes floating, and finally he pursed his lips, "No."He never thought he'd fall in love with a woman, Serena was something special, but that was it.

    "Neil, spread the word that the Winters family is running a private mine here and someone from the top will look into it."Neil nodded, mining these resources privately was a major offense, and the Winters Family was sure to lose a layer of skin this time.The Winters family didn't show up for their appointment and Robin, with nothing better to do, immediately had someone check out Serena's location."Where did they go?"Neil looked at him, "There's a temple fair on the mountain tonight, so I guess they're watching the action."Robin was uncomfortable, but remembering the Temple Fair, her face softened, "We'll go too.This county is most famous for the Temple Fair, the temple is in the mountains, held every year is very grand, many foreign tourists will also come over, this time they happened to run into.Matthew didn't know until he asked around, and the thought of Serena being in a bad mood made him drive the car up the hill."I don't want to go."Serena frowned, thinking that Mary

    Why would he touch a woman for sale rather than her, did she disgust him that much?"Jack, we've known each other for so many years, why do we have to go this far, we're getting engaged next week, do you have to embarrass me so much?"There was a hint of begging in her tone, but her eyes were fixed indignantly on the girl.The girl shivered at her gaze and hid behind Jack, "Miss Sophie, I'm not dirty, my first time is still ......"She said with trembling lips, her tone full of pity.Her eyes were so much like Serena's, and at that moment, with such a stash of tears, it made Jack's heart go halfway soft.He slapped Sophie's hand away and pulled the girl into the room above the Ignite Spirits Bar.The rooms here are reserved for overnight guests and contain almost everything."Jack!!!"Sophie screamed like crazy, her voice cracking a little, but Jack didn't look back.Sophie ran after him, her face white with fear."Boo!"The door to the room in front of her slammed shut, and Sophie po

    She said weakly and reached out to test his forehead.Scorching hot, probably burned."Serena, go ahead, there's a hot spring house from here, just soak in the warm water and go ahead, don't go ashore, you'll catch cold, there'll be someone there to save you.""You don't care about me, you hate the Harringtons and me ......"Serena said nothing and literally stood up.Matthew saw her back and a stabbing pain came from his heart, his eyes went black and he immediately fainted.She really didn't want to take him with her ......Serena stood up, and just as she stepped onto the shore, she felt the cold stinging her bones on all sides, and she hastily retreated back into this dug-out pit.If they had stayed here and waited for someone to rescue them, Matthew would have been in danger.He was too burned out and disoriented to lose a moment now, but Matthew would be worse off if he went ashore.Just follow the warm water, he said.She bent down and pulled the man out, gritting her teeth as

    The door was pushed open and Robin, carrying a bowl of congee, saw him and frowned."Wake up."Without choking him, Matthew reached out and took Serena's hand.Robin approached and set the porridge aside, "Drink.""I'm afraid you've poisoned it."Matthew's voice was light, angry Robin nose, "To poison last night, you also do not think about last night you have how much of a mess, if not afraid to get you Serena will be sad, I would have thrown you out to freeze for a night, a great man actually let a woman to save you, shame on you!"Matthew caught the gist of his words, was it Serena who saved him?He lowered his eyes; he'd seen Serena get up before he fainted, thought she was going to leave him behind, and in a moment of rage had simply fainted.He thought Robin had saved him and considered himself lucky."Serena dragged you five or six miles last night, and the doctor said her willpower was so gone that she wouldn't wake up for days after such a break."Matthew's heart rolled in hi

    After she went back to her room, she called Melody, "Auntie, did Jack not come back, Serena called him last night, I guess he went back to the county to look for Serena, I'm sorry I didn't stop him."Melody heard this and threw the cup in her hand on the floor in anger.Sophie heard the commotion, the corner of her mouth turned up, "Auntie, don't be angry, this matter is Serena's initiative, if she didn't call Jack, Jack is probably still in Hustleburg, I heard that it snowed a lot last night and the mountains were closed outside, so it's estimated that Jack is still on the road, if the Carpenter Family sends someone, they can still bring someone back."Melody hated her guts, when the hell is this Serena going to leave Jack alone!She was so angry that she lifted her foot and started to walk out the door, but Simon stopped her, "Where are you going, your dad has you under constant surveillance and the last time you did something you just put it to rest, it's probably best not to go ou

    He monkeyed around and started fumbling with the buttons of Leona's dress.Leona frowned and held his hand, she wasn't interested in being right here."Hayden, go back and talk."Yet the man's voice came in her ear, inexplicably aggravated, "Go back?Going back would take another half hour."Leona couldn't hold back her laughter any longer and let out a "pfft".Seeing her in a good mood made Hayden bold, easing his seat down and catching her lips in a kiss.It was only when dealing with her that Hayden would act so much like a brat.Leona couldn't argue with him and could only sigh.It was all over, exactly twelve o'clock.Hayden was a little unfulfilled, but knew that he couldn't go on.Leona was too tired to say anything and just leaned back in the seat, half-closing her eyes.Hayden drove the car home, and when he got outside the apartment, instead of waking her up, he bent over and picked her up, heading upstairs.Leona did seem to have it a lot easier since the contract was drawn

    Hearing Matthew say that made Serena feel slightly better.She actually had no intention of interfering with her daughter's choice, but as a mother, where was the reason not to love her daughter.She and Matthew had only been in the hospital room for half an hour before she was blown away by Nina, who said she didn't want to be force-fed dog food to eat on top of her allergies.Serena felt innocent, and before she left Matthew gently chided someone in the bed, "Next time be polite to your sister-in-law."Nina was so angry that she called Tara directly to complain, and there was always a gentle voice over there, instructing her not to get too emotional.Nina stayed here for a day, the door of the hospital room was quietly opened, and the tightly wrapped man revealed a pair of eyes, even alertly pulling the curtains closed.The lewd figure, needless to say, must be Rodney.Sure enough, Rodney took off his hat and looked at her red and swollen face painfully, "Did you check the allergens

What are you so proud of, if I had that good family background, Hayden would like me too! She's just lucky."Serena had just passed by the ward door when she heard this.She paused in her steps and looked to Mat

    Hayden pressed the answer button and only heard a few words from there before he froze in place.Otis had been knocked right into the resuscitation room by that bottle, saying that a splinter had lodged in his scalp and he needed surgery ASAP.His head buzzed with a few vague responses and he hung up.He pulled Leona into the car, "Leona , I'll take you back first."Leona sat in the passenger seat, quietly looking out and not talking to him.After arriving at the apartment, Hayden sent her into the door, as he turned around , Leona suddenly pulled his hand, "Hayden, remember what I told you before, if this friendship comes to a point where you should let go, don't hesitate."Hayden took a step forward, his body frozen in place.He turned and hugged her, "I actually believed you all along and didn't doubt the truth in your words, so it's hard for me because in that moment, I lost my best friend."Parting comes so suddenly in the adult world.Yes, while standing in the box, he took Leon

    It was the first time Leona had ever been so angry, angry at the man's behavior, angry that he was Hayden's friend.She still had half the bottle cupped in her hand and wanted to just poke the glass slag into him, but she couldn't be so impulsive.She gave Otis, who was still struggling, a cold look and clasped her hands slightly as she held the door to the compartment open and waited for the police to arrive.The police came quickly, and following them was Hayden.Hayden hadn't expected this to be the case in the box, and he froze for a moment, before asking, "Leona, what's wrong?"Leona was just about to speak when Otis, who had been bored for a long time, jumped the gun, "Sister Leona, you don't have to humiliate us in this way if you don't like Delia and I. I'll pay Hayden back the five million dollars, I didn't mean to drag him down."Leona had grown up in the Harrington household, and her friends had all sat upright, and none of them had ever been so calmly upside down as Otis.

    When a man eats, his movements are slow and unhurried, it's really eye-pleasing to look at.Tim, with this kind of big personality, felt a little embarrassed."Uncle, this is your first time in Hustleburg, right, there are other places in Hustleburg that are very pretty."As soon as he finished his words, an assistant-looking person ran not far away and attached himself to the man's ear and said something.The man got up and straightened his sleeve, "Thanks for the hospitality, if we meet again, I'll buy you guys."Leona and Godfery hadn't spoken since the beginning, but he knew exactly how many people were around.Tim stood up in a hurry and held one of his hands, "Let me help you over."For his attentiveness, the assistants standing by the side all laughed, "Although Mr. can't see with his eyes, his heart is penetrating, he's been here before around here, and he remembers all the roads."Tim embarrassedly put down his hand and touched his head, "This way, then uncle goodbye."Watchi

    This was probably the first time Leona had offered to say yes to taking him out, and Hayden had been waiting for this opportunity for far too long.His heart instantly caught fire and he nodded solemnly.He rushed off to the place he'd agreed to go with Otis, a park that used to be a favorite haunt of the two in high school.Back then the park still had a fountain and was surrounded by young couples out on dates from school.He had just gotten there when he saw Otis sitting on the bench they used to sit on with a case of beer at his feet.Hayden walked over and sat down beside him, "What brings you here all of a sudden?"Otis pointed to his feet and smiled faintly, "You should have gone to a lot of trouble to fish me out this time, I don't know how to thank you.""Otis, you're my friend.""Hayden, there's a lot I want to say to you."Otis lowered his eyes and opened a can of beer, "Sit down."Hayden sat down beside him and Otis started with some funny stuff that happened in high schoo

    Hayden didn't know how to respond to his best friend's questioning.They went straight to the hospital and when the doctor examined them, he talked about what happened to Delia in the past few days.Otis held Delia's hand and started crying while Delia's eyes kept resting on Hayden's.Hayden's brain hurt, both of the people here were his best friends at one time, but this time it seemed like he was on the verge of losing them.Back in high school, he and Otis used to sit on the playground from time to time drinking beer and coke and talking about their dreams at that age, and Otis would always tease him with Leona.Neither had realized that the adult world would be filled with so much hopelessness, despair.Otis cried for a while and fed Delia water.Delia had no strength in her body and could only take a few slow sips right from his hand.Otis' eyes instantly turned red, when had he ever seen Delia like this.Delia had always followed them around like a tomboy, we all played soccer t
