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
Diving, as the name implied meant that she would be submerged in water.The two hunky guys caught on to what he was saying. How could anyone go diving in a swimming pool? At that moment, they understood their orders without being told. The two of them were like robots as they grabbed her. One side each, they held Susie Thompson up and dragged her toward the backyard swimming pool despite her struggles.“Mr. Soros! Mr. Soros! You can’t do this to me! You can’t! I want to sue you. I will sue y
The day had passed, and Alora insisted to let Jane come back to work after she felt better.After Jane recovered, she went back to work just like before.However, no matter how hard she worked these days, she still could not find a job.Her direct superior, Manager Kohr, absolutely refused to arrange work for her.On the other hand, Alora was also too scared to go against Sean’s words.Jane sat at the break room of the hostess division alone. She sat there until it was time to get off work.
“Manager Kohr, it’s her…”“Alright, it’s time. Go home.” Manager Kohr interrupted Jean. She glared at her coldly before warning her. “The first thing you need to know while working in East Emperor is to know your place. Stop making a fuss.”She looked at Jean again. She had already warned her. It was entirely up to Jean if she wanted to listen or not.Jane sighed in her heart. She grabbed her things and left the break room.After she left East Emperor, she walked back to the dorm.The night
“Hm?” The man’s eyes were glinting with astonishment. His eyes were glued on the woman on the side of the road.The lights were dim. When the woman stood under the streetlights, her shadows looked desolate. She was standing there all by herself, and he almost thought that the person standing there was an old person who had experienced all kinds of hardship in her life. Every inch of her body, including her hair, gave out the feeling of someone who had been through the mill.His curiosity towar
The man ate everything in the bowl and put down his chopsticks. “It’s delicious,” He lifted his head and said after looking at her. “You poured your heart into making me this.”“A long time ago, someone I know used to love eating scallion noodles. It got me thinking, if I learned how to make it, I’d make it for him.”“What happened then?”“Then… You’re the first person who tasted my scallion noodles, Sir.”“What about you? Shouldn’t I be the second person?”“Me? I get itchy when I eat scall
“You said that you’ll plea for leniency for me, but did you do it? Do you want to show that you’re kind? Jane Dunn, the most unkind person here is you!”When Susie barged in through the door, she started venting the anger in her heart.“You’re having an affair with the boss, right? You’re already having an affair with him, so why are you still seducing men left and right? You’re seducing Hadyn and that foreign man too. “Listen to my voice. Listen. If you had really pleaded leniency for me, I
"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
