Sean Stewart said coldly, “Haydn Soros, I don’t care what you do to this woman. I don’t care if you kill her even. But, you need to do your job properly and not mess it up.” Sean Stewart thought of Jane Dunn. “If I hadn’t returned by chance that day, Jane Dunn would be dead by now.”Haydn Soros asked anxiously, “How’s Jane Dunn?”“She’s perfectly fine. You don’t have to worry about her,” Sean Stewart said mildly. “Get this in your head—don’t hit on her from now on. She’s my, Sean Stewart’s, st
He sped all the way there. Even Uno felt like his boss was going at an insanely breakneck speed.A row of cars pulled over at East Emperor.“Boss…” Uno called out to him, but his boss already swept past him in a flash, taking large strides into the East Emperor’s lobby. He did not stop the whole way as he made a beeline for the elevator.Uno hastened to follow him.The look on Sean Stewart’s face was beyond indifferent. His slender legs moved at an extremely fast pace as he shot forward like
She felt sorry for the silly child because she saw the shadow of her past silly self in this silly child. That was a piece of her past that she was unwilling to recall.However, compared to feeling sorry for that silly child, Alora knew that she had inherited the characteristic of human selfishness. In the end, she still loved herself more.Alora had not done anything wrong. In fact, from Alora’s point of view, she had tried her best when she clearly knew what kind of person her boss was and w
’If I meet someone in this world who can mess up my emotions one day, I will end her myself.’That was what Sean Stewart came to understand when he was only a teenager.As the Stewart family’s heir and the future man who would take the wheel, the education that Sean Stewart received was the strictest and most unmerciful one since childhood. His grandfather personally taught his grandson to be a ruthless and cold-blooded robot. His grandfather said, “You can’t have any weaknesses. One day, wh
Sean Stewart listened as she continued to rave in her sleep. She was clearly in indescribable agony. All of a sudden, it dawned upon him that from start to finish, she had never once screamed the word ‘pain’ amidst her agonizing cries.She did not shout it out even though she was clearly in pain… For no reason at all, his heart throbbed in pain.“Wake up! Wake up!” He raised a hand and smacked her face roughly. “Hey! Wake up! How long are you going to keep sleeping?”Jane Dunn’s eyes shot ope
Sean Stewart bore down on her. He lowered his head and gazed at her and her tears in silence.Jane Dunn shut her eyes.Time was ticking away.Finally, her brows eased up. Sean Stewart glanced at the saline water bag. It was almost reaching the bottom.After a while more, he pulled out the needle for her skillfully. When he was young, his grandfather made him learn martial arts, hence there were many times when he had to hold real guns and engage in actual combat. Countless injuries later
Even if she was an ex-convict, even if she had once been locked up behind bars!“You’re not gonna talk?” The ball of fire in Sean Stewart’s heart was blazing even more intensely now.He narrowed his eyes… Could it be that she and Haydn Soros actually had an illicit affair?“He saw your body?”As soon as he asked this question, Jane Dunn’s heart suddenly throbbed in pain!‘Sean Stewart! Am I someone like that in your eyes?!’Her hands that were hanging beside her thighs gradually tightened
Susie Thompson felt equally awful at this moment.The person in front of her was someone whom she had constantly longed for.However, it seemed as though he was a different person from what she imagined him to be.A faint smile hung at the corner of Hadyn Soros’ mouth. He pulled over a European-styled chair and sat in front of Susie Thompson. “Sit.” He then pointed to the other side.At this moment, Susie Thompson’s complexion looked awful. Four minutes of choking on water made her feel as t
"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
