Serena rushed to the restroom.
Just as she entered, she saw Lorraine who was fixing her makeup.
Lorraine frowned when she saw her, "Madam, you seem to be in bad shape."
Serena's fingertips curled as she glanced at herself in the mirror, unable to hide the exhaustion that filled her face despite the elaborate makeup.
And Maxwell, the one who claimed to love her, never noticed anything wrong with her body.
This love, when it comes down to it, is worse than garbage.
She looked at Lorraine and spoke slowly.
"Ms. Lorraine, you're Maxwell's fiancée, don't you like him?"
A dark light darted across Lorraine's eyes, and the corner of her mouth curved as she put the makeup case away and turned to look at her faintly.
"That's not like for me, it's love, we've known each other for years, but he seems to like you a lot, so I can't help it."
Serena was relieved, as long as the man liked Maxwell, and only if he did, there
Time passes by.She could just feel her heart beating in time with the ticking.Maxwell was definitely coming back tonight, Maxwell had been coming back every night since she'd moved in here.He would never run out of energy, and he would never let her go.She was alone in the whole house, and the silence was terrifying.She curled up on the couch, her eyes instantly red.She had managed to dial Matthew's number that night, so why didn't he come to pick her up ......She rested her chin on her knees and closed her eyes, silently shedding tears.It wasn't until eleven o'clock that the door to the living room rattled.Byron appeared in the doorway holding a drunken Maxwell and smiled when he saw her open the door."Maxwell didn't drink much before he passed out drunk, and I'm staying here tonight."Serena shuddered inwardly, she had been hasty, she shouldn't have fed Maxwell his sleeping pills while he was ou
He looked like a towering monarch with a terrifying, stormy expression on his face.Serena just felt the strings in her head snap instantly, as if a death scythe had cut them.The blood in her veins went an inch cold, and she looked at him incredulously.She wanted to run, but realized that her legs couldn't move a single step, and all her strength was gone.Lorraine opened the front car door and took his jacket, resting it casually on his elbow."Maxwell, I told you a long time ago to keep an eye on Madam before she spoils our plans, you're too confident in yourself, the person is already here, you're on your own, I'm leaving."That's a dashing thing for her to say; she's just as cold-blooded as Maxwell and good at disguises, first negotiating everything with Serena and pretending she'll help her.Pushing someone down hard again just as Serena is about to escape the fire.Serena finally figures out that it looks like Maxwell will be going out tonight because of Ming Wan's call.Lorra
But they had only just risen when they heard Maxwell's voice from upstairs, full of fear and grief.Byron, keenly sensing that something was wrong, practically ran up the stairs.Just as they opened the bedroom door, they saw Serena standing by the windowsill, and a pale Maxwell.The wind was blowing so hard outside the window that Serena's body shook.Maxwell's voice was shaking, "Serena, you come down here first ......"Serena's gaze was stoic, holding the edge of the window slightly.Maxwell was afraid to come closer; he even felt his legs go weak.He was just two meters away from her, but in between, there seemed to be life and death, and he didn't dare to take a step.He was even tempted to get on his knees and beg her.Serena gasped, her face red.She glanced around the room and frowned, "Maxwell, I don't want to see you.""Do you want to see Matthew?Serena, if you want to see him, I'll bring him right over ......."Serena's mouth mocked as she sneered at him, "Bring him here? W
The word "Serena" was printed on the inside of the ring, which was indescribably tender and loving.Richard sighed and put the ring back into his coat pocket.Serena just sits in there, waiting for Matthew to wake up.Her mind was still a mess, as if her life had been in chaos since Maxwell had shown up.She had wanted to see Matthew, but now that the other woman was lying right in front of her, she didn't even dare to reach over.She suddenly wanted to cry, she was just an ordinary college student with a good future, why did the days turn into what they are now.Forced to marry, Mary dies, and all that was good is shattered.She flopped down on the edge of the bed and began to whimper.As she was crying, a warm hand suddenly stroked over her head.She stiffened and looked up to see Matthew staring at her, "Why have you lost weight?"One word, like opening all the valves of Serena's grief.Now that's love. He knew she'd lost weight as soon as he opened his eyes.Her tears fell harder,
Serena nestled in his arms without speaking, circling his waist tightly.The servant brought breakfast up, Matthew took a bowl of congee, stirred it with a spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it to her mouth.Serena knew that his body hadn't recovered either and hurriedly took the bowl, "I'll do it myself."Matthew pursed his lips lightly, "Sherry checked your body after you fell asleep, you must be well nourished, I'll have to keep an eye on you at meals from now on, lest you don't listen."A hint of sweetness flooded Serena's heart and the corners of her mouth curved.Matthew stared at her, but his right hand subconsciously went to stroke the knuckle of his left ring finger, as if there should be something there.He looked down quizzically, his brow furrowing.Serena noticed that his mood was off and quickly asked, "What's wrong?""It feels like there's something missing here and I don't know what.""Snap."The spoon in Serena's hand instantly dropped to the floor, her face going whit
He didn't show it though, and after seeing Matthew, he let go of Judy and went to chat with Matthew.Judy sighed in relief then and brought a glass of juice to Serena, "You're in good spirits."Serena smiled and looked up and around.It was obvious that Blair had put a lot of thought into it, "Did Blair prepare all this? I didn't realize he was so attentive for a big old man."Judy lowered her eyes, some sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, "Serena, are you going to ask me next if I'm even remotely touched by all he's done?"Serena didn't say anything, she did want to ask that."If I hadn't met him, I would be married to my own fiancé, and probably have a child by now, he was the one who used his privilege to force his way into my world, and threatened to use my fiancé's life, to threaten me to stay with him, Serena, if it was you, would you be touched?"Serena instantly thought of Maxwell, a man who talked about love but had no idea what love was.Her heart went cold and she shook her
Serena said she didn't want to wear it, so Matthew didn't push it and just had Nathan drive the car back to Pines Ridge.Just as he entered the bedroom, he wrapped his arms around the person.Serena pushed the person away and sullenly nestled under the covers, "Not tonight."Matthew looked down and kissed her on the cheek, "Then sleep."While the two were cozying up here, the other side of the room was at war.Blair smashed almost everything in the bedroom while Judy sat quietly on the bed, unresponsive.Blair sneered and kicked away the table next to him, "Still playing the better dead than alive thing with me?Judy, am I too good for you? So in front of so many people, you also dare not give me face."His words were full of strength and sarcasm, but his eyes were clearly watery and red.Judy's eyelashes fluttered as she looked up at him, "Blair, aren't you tired of playing yet? When are you going to get tired of playing with me?"Blair just felt like his chest was going to explode, s
Blair's eyes never opened, hiding the darkness in them, "Go away, I want to sleep."Judy's face burned and hurt, she didn't even know what this sudden aggression was about.Probably aggravation that what was clearly her own life was being swayed lightly by two men who didn't even ask for her own opinion.She stood up, squeezed the contract tightly in her hand, opened the door to her room and walked out.Blair's eyelashes fluttered twice, and, no longer able to sleep, he rose and went to the window.She had indeed left, without a trace of lingering.He was tempted to go out and chase after her, but no sooner had he taken a step than he stopped and leaned a little weakly against the window.Perhaps his initial insistence was wrong, and he wasn't the one who had to go after her.Yeah, he didn't have to.He reassured himself, and fell back on the bed.But the bed was full of Judy's scent, and the pillow was full of her hair, and as soon as he moved a little, the scent was desperate to get
With regards to their wedding, Serena and Matthew naturally had no problem with it, after all, Hayden was kind of what they had watched grow up.With the approval of the two, Hayden became very busy during this period of time, he asked Leona's opinion, and it turned out that the other party was not willing to go abroad to hold the wedding, so the place for the wedding turned out to be a church in Hustleburg.Leona took a leave from the research lab, saying that she wanted to rest for a few days, and as a bride, she naturally couldn't go to the wedding with a tired face.It was a big deal for a new businessman to marry the daughter of the Harrington family, and Hustleburg was instantly buzzing with excitement.This wedding was all designed by Hayden alone, not wanting anyone to get involved, from the process to the flowers needed for the ceremony, all of which were handpicked by himself.The decisive man personally do these things, always give people a kind of unreal feeling.The word
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
Did she think that just because she knew Leona, she was really on the same starting line as Leona?If Leona moved out the Harrington family behind her, even a hundred Delia couldn't move a finger! Otis has figured out a lot of things after walking around in circles this time.Leona this time by his design, will be tricked, but also on the face of he is Hayden's friend, only did not do too much, if let Infinity Realm's Boss and Mrs. Boss know that their daughter outside the aggrieved, I am afraid that the consequences are more serious than now.Delia is a graduate of a prestigious university, more or less a little bit of arrogance, now hearing Otis say so, she stared wide-eyed, ''Isn't she, Leona, just a little bit better than me in terms of family history?What's the big deal? 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
