She was too anxious about asking Jane for answers earlier that she did not notice what Jane Dunn was wearing. At this moment, however, Manager Kohr’s eyes fell on Jane Dunn’s clothes.Although Jane Dunn had tucked in the hem of the blouse, that pair of sweatpants was unisex and both genders could wear it.Even so, evidence of men styled-clothing was still visible.It was as though Manager Kohr had experienced a paranormal activity. She examined Jane Dunn up and down carefully… Jane Dunn did
Uno sneered. What did Alora know about the things that had happened in the past?“Summon the girl,” He said.Alora nodded. She did not have any good impressions for Susie Thompson to begin with.Susie Thompson was summoned to Alora’s office for no reason at all. She felt uneasy the whole way there.“Alora,” Right now, she knew better than to hold herself aloof, unlike the first time she did when she entered Alora’s office.“Let’s not beat about the bush. Tell me what happened in the sixth-f
“Is the female employee on the scene named Susie Thompson? John Denham gave me a call just now to beg for forgiveness. What a coincidence, he happened to reveal some useful information to me. He said that Master Soros has recommended a girl to him, one who is pretty interesting and could afford to play. Her name happens to be Susie Thompson.”As he said that, he ordered, “Take this girl to the car park downstairs and wait there for me. I’ll be there immediately.”Uno put his phone away and gla
Unsure whether it was just her imagination or some other reasons, she felt like the path from passageway all the way to the elevator was filled with nails. Every step she took felt like she was treading on nails. Jane Dunn remained silent as she followed behind Uno.The elevator door was just in front of them. Uno paused for a moment and made a “please enter” gesture to Jane Dunn who was behind him. “Please, Miss Dunn.”“You…” Jane Dunn hesitated for a moment. She was not a busybody, yet she
This misunderstanding… was pretty awkward.Her ears were so red and flushed. She did not know that at this moment, not only were her ears flushed, but her neck was scalding red as well.She did not know this, but the man sitting on the couch in front of her had captured her every move and changes in her movement. For no reason, something was burning in those long and narrow phoenix eyes.“I want to beg for forgiveness on behalf of Susie Thompson.”“Get to the main point.” His deep and low
“Jane Dunn, you don’t deserve anyone’s kindness in this world. Anyone who treats you kindly is making a huge mistake! You’re not worthy of anyone’s kindness!” He spoke without choosing his words. In his eyes that were always indifferent and frosty, there was a ball of rage—a hint of grief and indignation!Sean Stewart’s words pricked Jane Dunn, penetrating the most sensitive spot in the innermost part of her heart!She raised her head abruptly!There were blazing stars in her eyes. It was rag
Amid her anguish, she gained even more clarity instead… He said, “Jane Dunn, you’re finally willing to admit it.”Admit? What did she admit?... Admit about that life?Oh… He misunderstood her again.Sean Stewart wore a cold and frosty look on his face. All of a sudden, he noticed that the woman was laughing like she had gone insane. “Ha ha, ha ha ha…”“What are you laughing at? Stop laughing!”He was mad.“Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha…”“I said stop laughing!”For some reason, he hated this lau
His slender fingers met the scar.There was a sensation of an uneven surface coming from his fingertip.The moment his fingertip touched the scar, Sean Stewart felt as though his fingertip was scalded.“Honestly, Sean Stewart, how do you even have the heart to torment an incomplete body like that?” The call had not ended yet. Elior White said in a half-serious and half-mocking manner.On this side of the call, it looked as though the man did not hear Elior White talking. His thumb was stroki
"Your grandfather loved your grandmother like a man possessed."By the time I finished hearing out my grandparents' story, I fell silent. I no longer blamed my grandfather for not knowing his heart, and I no longer blamed Grandma for being uncertain. It was just as Grandma Alora said. It was only because one of the two of them stopped obsessing and took a step back that they ended up living happily ever after. I could not help but wonder. What if Grandma simply refused to turn back at the e
Even then, I found it unbelievable. I ran to my dad's room and immediately asked, "Is Grandpa a pervert? I saw him hugging Grandma's foot just now. Does he have a foot fetish?""Your grandfather is warming your grandmother's feet. Your grandmother's body isn't in its best shape, and her hands and feet are always ice-cold. Your grandfather can't bear to see her like that. Just pretend you didn't see anything, and never mention it to him.""But why?""Because your grandfather will make you writ
My name was Luka Stewart. It was a weird name, right? Like ‘look! A stew.’My grandfather gave me my name. All my many years of experience as a kid told me that my grandfather was not a good guy.All else aside, just look at the name he gave me. He had a perfectly nice name himself, but he had to give me such a weird one.However, every time I protested about it to him, he always said that it was my dad's fault. If Dad had been a girl, that would have been his name instead. See, Grandpa was
On the twentieth day after the surgeryHe saw the person he had his heart set on.“Elior said you were at your wedding on the day I woke up.” He fell quiet again after his initial excitement. It felt as though there was a thorn in his heart. He wanted to pull the thorn out, but it hurt just to touch it.“Is Michael Luther… good to you?”“Yeah, pretty much.”There was pain in his eyes and he hurriedly lowered them, putting on a gracious act.“Congratulations. From now on, you’ll finally be
“Not too long ago, I woke up one morning and realized that I was trapped behind bars again. He had installed metal grilles over all the windows in the room.“In my eyes, those bars were no different from the ones in prison six years ago.“He tried everything to imprison me. He only finally let go when he’s sick and dying.“He said something about getting tired of this game and getting bored of me. I believed him.“He’s dying, so he lets go.“Is that supposed to show how generous and loving
“See? Master White agrees. Move aside and don’t stop me, the boss is in a lot of danger right now!” Dos’ expression was vicious. “I need to stop…”Halfway through his sentence, the three people outside heard some mortifying noises coming from inside the room.They were all experienced in the ways of life, so no matter how slow they might be, they still understood what those noises meant.Dos’ face instantly turned completely red.“Go on, kick the door down. Your boss is in danger,” Alora tea
After the second apple, there was the third... By the time he reached the fifth, he looked at the apple in his hand with a troubled expression. No matter how much he liked fruit, he still could not eat so many at once. Besides, he never liked apples to begin with.“Eat some more, or you won’t have the strength,” she said calmly. He was completely stumped. The strength? The strength for what?The wheels in his brain were still turning as he tried to process her words when the woman by his bed
At the hospital, the ward door opened without a sound. This time, Dos did not report the arrival in advance.When Elior arrived in a hurry, he immediately saw that woman.Before he said anything, Alora pulled him back out into the corridor. The door opened and closed again.The man on the bed lay on his side, fast asleep.No one knew what he was dreaming about, but the deep frown on his face showed that he did not have pleasant dreams.His hand rested on the covers, his wedding ring still a
"Don't worry, this time Sean Stewart won't disturb you again. He never will anymore. "Go and do what you do best, Jane Dunn. Run away!"With those words, Alora turned and left.She did not know what she was mad about. Perhaps she was not mad at all, just a little sorry about the whole state of affairs.It was almost as though she was the one who was not getting her happy ending. In her eyes, one of them had done wrong in the past and was now filled with regret, determined to turn over a n
