Joseph Dunn hung up and jumped out of bed, grabbing the night robe next to him and throwing it over his shoulders.His wife asked him drowsily, “What happened?”“What happened?” Joseph was furious. “Your good daughter went and became a hooker!”Whoom!It felt as though there was an explosion by Mrs. Dunn’s ears!She immediately sat up in bed. “What did you say?”She must have heard him wrong, surely.“Old Master Hoffman personally called me and said that Brendan saw her with his own eyes.
…In the hospital.Elior gave Jane a final check-up. “Alright, you can leave the hospital now. Jane, don’t take your life for granted anymore after this.”He had not wanted to tell Jane all this, but for some reason, when he looked at the woman with her head held down wordlessly, he suddenly remembered that conversation in Sean’s bedroom on the 28th floor of East Emperor that day.He looked at Jane again and said, “Since you’re out of prison now, you should live a good life, and live your li
“Sean…” Elior’s voice died out there. Sean Stewart looked terrifying right now, such that even someone like Elior felt a chill in his heart when he looked at him.Sean ignored Elior, his long and narrow eyes fixed on Jane and her alone. His expression right now was terrifying!He was furious at this woman, but even more so than that, he felt a deep frustration building up in his chest that he simply could not vent!“You really never learn your lesson.”The man’s voice was ice-cold, heartless
Jane did not want to relive those memories, but they just refused to let her go. They washed over her like a broken dam, spilling over, drowning her!All of those memories from the past!Rosaline looking troubled as she said, “I don’t like Sean.”Rosaline comforting her like a miniature sun, saying, “Don’t worry, that’s what Sean’s like. But you’re a wonderful woman yourself, Jane. He’ll understand your feelings one day.”Rosaline looking shy as she said, “Jane, I think I fell for someone, b
No matter what, Jane’s curses just now had been too much. After all, Rosaline was already dead. How could she insult a dead person like that…? Elior frowned disapprovingly and glanced at the woman on the bed.Sean did not show any emotion on his face, but the great Mr. Stewart who had always boldly trampled over everything now reacted as though his arm had been scalded. He hid it behind his back, his hand shaking uncontrollably.He looked at the woman on the bed with his bottomless eyes. When
He asked her if she knew what she had done wrong.Wrong?What was right?What was wrong?“I didn’t do anything wrong.”She said.Her heart ached so badly that she was in agony!He actually asked her if she knew what she had done wrong?Ha ha!“Mr. Stewart, if you say that I’m wrong, then I can only be wrong. However, you’re asking me if I knew what I have done wrong.” She lifted her chin. The proud look that she wore on her face looked blinding to the eye. Her smile that was tugged at t
A sickly red slowly emerged on her pale face. Her fingers knotted around the sheets beside her even tighter now… No matter how hard she tried to conceal it, she still could not wipe away the fact that she feared him.The man’s dark eyes captured everything. His eyes fell on her every movement and expression… She feared him!Jane Dunn feared him!When he was aware of this fact, a vicious current surged in the depth of the man’s eyes!He did not even realize the fact that Jane Dunn feared him.
Sean Stewart’s cold and stern words stabbed Jane Dunn in the heart.Admitting it herself was another stab to the heart that Jane Dunn had given herself!It was as though the energy in her rigid body was drawn out at once as she leaned weakly on his shoulder, allowing Sean Stewart to embrace her just like that.Sean Stewart, you won again… Jane Dunn gradually closed her eyes, concealing the anguish in her eyes.“Don’t use the rest of your life to curse Rosaline Summers.” The man’s voice conti
"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
