Then, he changed the subject.“Of course, I have to respect my grandfather. We have more than ten years of relationship between us. I am grateful for that.“I am sentimental about old affections. You have to know this as well.”The old butler’s eyelids twitched. The man in front of him was warning him. What he meant by his words was actually, ‘You’ll stay here until the day you retire. I am taking into consideration our old affections, but you also have to know your place.’He was obviously
This hand had become a scalding hot sweet potato. She wanted to push it away now.Stewart manor.Ring, ring…The phone’s ringtone broke the silence. It was also vibrating.A wrinkled hand took it over to have a look. Then, the figure pressed the ‘accept’ button hurriedly.“Michael! Have you finally decided? Are you willing to help me now? Michael! I told you that this will be good for you! You keep trying to stop thinking about your mother…”“Shut up!” On the other end of the phone, a cold
Sean led Jane into the hall. Suddenly, the room fell quiet. However, after a short while, there were sounds of discussion all over.Elior and Ray looked at each other before walking over.“Miss Dunn, it has been a long time since I last saw you. Have you lost weight?” Elior was still opinionated toward Jane. He had tried to make Sean stay away from Jane, but Sean was always so arrogant. It was difficult to make him change his mind once he was made up.Elior felt agitated whenever he thought a
Jane knew that the crowd was looking at them.“I’m going to the toilet.” She lifted her head and walked out in a panic.How would Callen let her go so easily?When he saw Jane was about to leave, the expression on his alluring face changed. He wanted to chase after her, but Sean was in front of him. He was like a mountain. He refused to budge.“Get lost.” He reached out to push Sean away, but Sean’s eyes were glinting with coldness. “No one has ever dared to cause trouble here yet. Do you wa
Even though Callen was a foreigner, he was not ignorant about Chinese culture.When he heard that, a smile blossomed on his beautiful face. It was so soft, but everyone around them felt glum for no reason.Callen’s eyes moved. He looked at the ceiling and then at Jane. He chuckled. “Your answer is so tactful but cruel.“I admit that I had indeed looked forward to you appearing at my door every night,” Jane said. Callen’s dull eyes brightened again. In the next second, she completely destroyed
Haydn was shocked. “...” After being puzzled for a long while, he understood. “Jane, I don’t believe you. I don’t believe that you’re a gold digger who values money more than your life. If not, why did you say those things to me? You asked me to not become the person I hate. Jane, I don’t believe that you’re a gold digger.“I know I hurt you, but…”“No buts. Master Soros, we’re both sensible adults here. Let me just tell you everything so that you’ll be clear.“You want me to go with you?“S
Jane’s face was white. “Nonsense!” She was stubborn and refused to cry. Her gaze shifted to Haydn. She gritted her teeth and called out, “Master Soros!”She did not want to explain. However, she did not want to be falsely accused by that man again.Haydn knew the truth of what happened as well.When Haydn heard Jane’s voice that sounded like she had something she wanted to say, his heart was touched. There was a glint in his eyes. Even though he was hesitating, it did not stop the desire to d
Jane managed to get down from the car just like she wished. However, she was being carried down.“I’m not going! Put me down! Let go!”Half of her body was over Sean’s shoulders. Her hands were grabbing the door of the car in a pitiful attempt while her legs were kicking at him furiously. She did not have eyes at the back of her head, so she did not know whether she had successfully kicked the man or not.“Heh, didn’t you want to get down from the car just now?”Jane moved her mouth after co
"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
