It seemed as though life had become monotonous once again.After work.Alora stuffed all the checks back to Jane Dunn.“Thanks, Alora.” Jane Dunn did not reject it. She would hide the money properly. When Sean Stewart had grown sick and tired of this endless game, she would then take the money and leave. She would run far, far away, never to return.Jane Dunn left Alora’s office as she carefully stuffed the bag full of checks and cash into her cloth bag. Jane Dunn stroked it as though it was
Upon entering her dorm, Jane Dunn felt slightly uncomfortable and her hands and feet were thrown into confusion. She was in a flurry when she said, “Mr. and Madam Dunn, I… I’ll go and get you some water to drink.”Under panic and confusion, she set down the cloth bag that she was carrying on her shoulders on the table and headed for the kitchen in a flurry to pour some water for Mr. and Madam Dunn.She boiled the water this morning. When she poured the water out from the thermos and looked at
Joseph Dunn was trembling with rage!He pointed at Jane Dunn and scolded, “Vile child! You will be punished! How did I even give birth to such a vile child like you!”Resisting the stinging sensation in her eyes, Jane Dunn gritted her teeth tightly, afraid that she would blurt out infinite resentful words once she loosened her bite!Only after taking a deep breath, did she manage to say as calmly as possible, “Mr. and Madam Dunn, it’s very late now. Please go back early to get some rest.”He
Madam Dunn grabbed Jane Dunn’s arms nervously as she persuaded her constantly.Jane Dunn’s hands that were hanging on her side pinched into her palms. This gentle and virtuous woman was her mother! Her mother was currently “speaking” for her!However, every word she said only made Jane Dunn’s spirit dampen down like dying embers!Joseph Dunn was standing on one side wearing a frosty look on his face as he waited for Jane Dunn’s explanation.Was this couple here today just to wait for her exp
Though she might seem indifferent, there was actually immense pain in her eyes… More often than not, the closest people are those who can cause the most hurt. Jane Dunn chuckled. What an interesting couple. One questioned her why she lived such a petty and lowly life; another was even more ruthless as she asked her who she was straight away.Fatigue engulfed her.However, this battle was far from over.Jane Dunn’s words had Joseph Dunn’s face turned ghastly pale. For a brief moment, he felt a
She suddenly realized that this person was so shameless to the extent of being terrifying. In the last three years, he had never visited her in prison nor did he remember the day she was released. Hence, who gave him the right to stand here today to demand her so pompously to change her job?“I won’t change it,” Jane Dunn said unhurriedly, paying no attention to Joseph Dunn’s face that was about to get angry again. The corner of her mouth lifted into a gentle chuckle. “Didn’t Grandpa Hoffman
The door of the dorm was left ajar. In the living room, the woman laid limply on the ground and stared blankly at the floor tiles. Just like that, she continued to stare blankly at the floor tiles. A string of translucent tears slid down her face slowly.She was reminded of Mona Lisa’s smile. It was said that one of Mona Lisa’s eyes was crying while the other was smiling. This was simply absurd and impossible. Jane had always felt that it was only a matter of the painter’s color selection,
He went all the way up to the second floor. “They’re gone, Sir.”“Mm.” Sean Stewart was still holding Joseph Dunn’s gift in his hand. He raised it to eye-level and studied it with his long and narrow phoenix eyes. A trace of mockery seeped out of his eyes. With a wave, the gift was tossed at Mr. Summers’ feet. “Get rid of it.”“Yes, Sir.” When Mr. Summers bent down to pick up the gift, he heard the man question.“I told you to find out the things that the woman experienced when she was in pri
"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
