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
Along with the sound of wheezy gasps, passion was being aroused, but the heart had turned cold.“I will hate you, Sean Stewart.”The man’s fingertips quivered for a moment, yet he still stretched out his hand as he slowly wiped off the beads of sweat from her forehead. His profound eyes looked as though they were hiding conflicted emotions behind it. Jane was unable to make out what it was. Though when she met those eyes, a long lost yet familiar pain shot through her heart that was already nu
Since nothing could be done about it and since she wanted to hate him forever, he would let her hate him then!It was best if she could hate him up until the end of the world. That would be the most blissful thing that could ever happen to Sean for the rest of his life… Simply because if this was the only way to do it, then he would accept her hatred and gladly endure the hardships that would come with it just to be entangled with her forever!Upon hearing his words, all colors drained from Ja
The man stared at the woman on the bed and gently sighed an inaudible sigh in his heart. She asked him what he wanted. She said that she would never beg him anymore… It was never his intention to see her stoop low or to see her beg!Instead, he wanted the woman who had loved him for the past 20 years to love him again like how she was on the very first day!He stuffed her under the quilt before swiftly embracing her tightly. Under the quilt, the man stretched out his legs and coiled them aroun
After that night between them, a week passed in a blink of an eye.When it was time to get off work in Stewart Industries, the man quickly picked up his car keys from the table and hurried toward the basement.He revved up the engine and drove out of the basement. The car sped on the elevated highway. His heart was about to fly back home now.During winter at dusk, the Stewart manor would be covered in a soft layer of twilight. The sky would also turn dark very quickly. Only two rows of stree
Jane raised her head slightly. Her lips moved as she simply said two words, “It’s fun.”“Fun?” Sean was so mad that he was about to explode!“Fun? Do you even know how dangerous that was back there? You could fall if you weren’t careful enough! And you’re saying that it’s fun? Do you think it’s alright to joke about things like that?“Do you think something like this is supposed to be fun?!”“It’s fun.” She was still saying the same thing.“You!” The man was so angry that even his internal
"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
