As long as she behaved, then there would be no more pain. It sounded so easy… Why would she not want to do it?"You don't need to go to Storge anymore.""…" Why? The woman opened and closed her mouth a few times, eventually swallowing her question that carried a hint of defiance back into her stomach… As long as she behaved, then there would be no more pain… "…Mm.""Hand over the current projects and everything else related to Storge to someone you trust and let that person handle it… That Vi
Occasionally when he was tired, he would walk to the french window to see her in the backyard holding onto her pant leg with her bare feet. She had not looked the slightest bit reserved and gentle when she laid on the lawn flat on her back.As the thought of it, he realized that these memories were etched incredibly deep into his mind. He was actually looking forward to seeing what the future held.The woman next to him disagreed, though.Her shoulders shuddered… Stewart manor contained too m
Why was she here?How could she come here?How could Sir bring her in here?This was the place Rosaline grew up in. This woman was not welcome here!The old butler’s gray hair was hanging over his forehead, and his veins were protruding.He tried his best to suppress the rage that was roaring in his chest!He was the Stewarts’ old butler after all. For generations, they had served the Stewarts. At this moment, the old butler tried his best to endure. The chord in his head was about to snap
“Get some rest. I’ll ask Alora to go shopping with you after lunch.” Sean led Jane into a bedroom.Jane was actually familiar with the structure of the manor. When he led her to the second floor, she already knew where she was about to stay. Naturally, Sean did not know what she was currently thinking about because he did not notice the conflicted look on the woman’s face.He simply led her into the house, gave her some simple instructions, turned around, and left.Jane, on the other hand, st
The man busily worked in the study for the entire day. He ate a quick lunch before going into the study again in a hurry.He simply asked Jane to seek the servants’ help if she needed anything done.Jane sat at the long corridor outside the manor and watched the gardener in the manor trim the grass and flowers. The sun was warm; the sky was blue; even the breeze carried an indistinct fragrance with it. She was put in a trance as though she had traveled back in time.No one interrupted her. Unknowingly, she dozed off while lying on the bamboo bench.Everything was perfect, so perfect that it seemed unreal.If the straight and rigid figure standing at the end of the corridor could be ignored, then everything would be even more perfect.At the end of the long corridor not far away, the man’s silver-white hair danced with the breeze, failing to conceal the loathing in those hazy eyes below the grey eyebrows. The old butler held onto the pillar for balance. His aged eyes were beyond
Jane looked at the sky. It was about to rain.She stood up, turned around, and walked into the house quietly.Mr. Summers looked on in disbelief as Jane stood up and left without a word just like that.He could be uncompromising and chase after her. However, the words said to him this afternoon by the man whom he had served his entire life still echoed in his ears.Mr. Summer’s expression changed repeatedly.Sir was defending her. It was clear that if he could not face Jane calmly, then the only way was to transfer him back to Old Master’s side. Sir also said that he would give him a lot of money.Could all that money bring her daughter back to life, though?Sir was actually defending this woman like that!It was only after Jane had entered the house did she finally feel the uneasy feeling of someone staring at her behind her back disappear. As soon as she entered the house, she felt her energy completely sapped out of her. She took a look at the house… It was hard to imagi
Time went by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already winter.Everything was very peaceful, yet the peacefulness made Jane panic for no reason at all. Ever since Sean Stewart brought her to the Stewart manor, she had been eating and resting from dawn to dusk. From the perspective of an outsider, he was taking care of her so carefully without knowing it himself and did it so well that there was nothing to pick on. If this was someone else, that person might have been immensely touched. However, the more he behaved so, the more uncomfortable she felt. He liked sitting at the bedside reading with the bedside lamp switched on every time she took a shower. When she came out, he would stand up quietly, pick up the hairdryer naturally, then stand behind her and run every finger of his through her hair meticulously.Every morning when he brushed his teeth, he also liked squeezing her toothpaste for her as he did his.He would also demand kisses in an overbearing way.Ther
She had been waiting too long for his trust, so long that she lost all hope. ‘Sean Stewart, since you refused to trust me for so long, then please keep distrusting me until the end!’When her heart was left desolated like the desert, he came and told her that he was willing to trust her. “It’s late now, Mr. Stewart. You should go back and sleep,” Jane said. Standing on one side of the bed and staring at the woman who had his back toward him on the other side, the man was in a daze. He was u
