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
If normal people only knew the textbook definition of the word ‘suspicion’, then they would not know about the hidden meanings behind that word. However, Jane was terrified and disgusted with the word ‘suspicion’.Her face turned white. She took in deep breaths and looked at Susie. Even her cackling voice became sharper. However, it merely sounded weird and disharmonious.“Suspicion? Susie...” Jane walked toward Susie in anger. “Do you know the meaning of ‘suspicion’?‘Suspicion?‘What suspi
Susie was speechless. She felt awkward, but she could not fight back against Jane.Jane said, “I’ve never owed you anything from the very beginning. Do you really think that I wanted to plead leniency on your behalf so badly?”In Susie’s eyes, the previous Jane was a coward and an addlepate. However, an addlepate would not always be addlepated, and a coward would not always be weak.Susie was biased against Jane. Then, she became jealous of her because of Haydn. If Jane was Alora or any other outstanding woman, Susie’s jealousy would have turned into envy.There was only a thin line between jealousy and envy.She was better than Jane in every way, so why did Haydn only see Jane and not her?Jane was only a skillless b*tch who would do anything for money. On the other hand, Susie remained chaste the entire time. Why did Haydn only have Jane in his heart?If this person was not Jane but another dazzling woman… Then, things would be different.Jane’s mediocrity was the main culpri
“Alora, here.”Alora was shocked for a moment. When she looked at the wad of cash on the table, her head was blank for a long while. “Where did you get this?”The first question that popped into her mind was, ‘Who arranged work for Jane?’Jane did not think much. She told Alora what had happened last night. After she heard that, Alora’s eyebrows were furrowed together tightly.“It’s him?” She looked at Jane. “Jane, didn’t I tell you not to get too close to that man?”“He gave me money.”‘He gave me money.’ If people did not know her or the situation that was going on now, they would think that Jane was a gold digger. For a brief moment, Alora was speechless.Jane was simply standing at the corner as if she did not exist. However, Alora knew that invisible girls were extremely stubborn.“Jane, come here.” Alora looked at Jane. She felt that she should give her some advice. She placed her hand on Jane’s shoulder and pulled her over.“Listen to me, don’t keep in contact with th
Jane was pulled out forcefully by Haydn.The sound of the busy night market rang through her ears. There was also the sound of various hawkers noisily trying to attract customers’ attention. Haydn was holding her hand. She was not used to her hand being held while walking. However, it was as if this person had a toughness inside of him. She had purposely tried to hide from him a few times, but he still smiled and grabbed her hand.At that moment, the different smells from the stalls invaded th
“Damn you, you little rascal,” Mr. Harper smiled and said.Jane looked at Haydn. “Why are you lying to Mr. Harper? I’m not your girlfriend.”Haydn took the chopsticks and handed them to Jane. He said, “Who said I’m lying to him?” He lifted his head and said, “Jane, why don’t you consider me?”How shocking!That was too sudden!Jane’s ears were ringing. She looked at Haydn for a very long time. “Mr. Soros, what did you say?”The back of her hand started to heat up. She heard Haydn say, “I s
A man favored by God was so delicately made that even his hands were art.Jane widened her eyes and looked at Sean who was standing at the end of the bed. His long and thin fingers were undoing the buttons of his white shirt.She backed away reflexively until her back hit the headboard of the bed. The man’s narrow eyes were cold. He was looking down at her while his fingers undid his buttons in a hurry. No matter how much she backed away, the man on the end of the bed maintained his cold expression on his face. He was unbothered.She looked at the opened door of the bedroom subconsciously. Then, she got up, got out of the bed, and ran toward the door.Unfortunately, the moment her feet hit the ground, she was caught once moreSean stood at the end of the bed and grabbed her shoulder with one hand. He pressed her against the mattress. He was controlling her and holding her captive so that she could not get up. His other hand was on his belt. He was undoing the button of his pants.
"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
