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
Sean’s delightful smile froze. He stared at the woman beneath him in disbelief… What did she say?“I’m sure you know this, Mr. Stewart. I, Jane Dunn, have been to prison. I’m an ex-convict with criminal records. This is an unchangeable fact. “The relationship that Mr. Stewart and I share is just like that of a hooker and a client.”She took the initiative to push the quilt away.With a snake-like arm, she approached Sean and wrapped her arm around his neck. At this moment, Jane was a smidge
The coldness of his fingertips touched her skin, and a cool sensation traveled to his fingertips.“Gentle touching is the first stage in the flirting process.” His deep and low voice carried a hint of banter. The tip of his fingers fell on her neck but did not slide downward. It was simply absentmindedly stroking her neck without a fixed rhythm.Jane resisted instinctively.That person chuckled. His deep and low voice was heard above Jane’s head. “You got it now?”“...?”“This.” Seeing the confused look on her face, he took his time as his fingertips gently rubbed against her already tingling neck. “Do you know how to do it now?”Jane came to a sudden realization, and her complexion turned crimson uncontrollably.Since when did this person become so shameless?How could he still have the nerve to ask her whether she had learned to do it or not!“I’m tired, Mr. Stewart.” What she really wanted to say was, ‘Can you leave now?’Needless to say, Sean knew that he was being asked
"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
