No one in the house had come to see her. A smile of mockery appeared on her lips. How would she believe the sweet nothings said by Joseph, the person she called her father?However, she had to admit weakly that it was because of the sentence ‘I was wrong’. She knew it was fake. However, she still cried and hoped with the bottom of her heart that it was sincere.She sighed. “Let’s go.”They went into the Dunn household. Madam Dunn grabbed Jane’s hand with great joy. She pulled her to a quiet c
Sean did not go on the business trip himself. He brought Elior along as well.Elior was the young master of the Whites. In order to practice medicine, he fought a lot with his father. Elior usually looked like a docile person, but when he was savage, his father would also have a headache.His father could not win against Elior, so he made a compromise. He told him when the Whites needed Elior, he needed to dedicate himself to the family without any complaints. This was the time for Elior to
“I don’t know.”At this moment, their food arrived. Elior looked at the man who started eating as if nothing happened with disbelief. They were met with such a serious problem this time, but Stewart still had the mood to eat.“How can you still have the mood to eat?”“Calm down.” Sean lifted his gaze. He glanced at Elior. “You’re too fickle and impatient.”“You!” ‘You’re not fickle and impatient. Master Stewart, you’re the sh*t, happy?’“Eat. You’ll only have the energy to play with the cat
How could Sean not notice something that even Alora could?This was nothing more than self-deception. Once the deception was broken only would he be able to slip out of his reverie.“If you miss out, you miss out, Sean.” Elior would rarely get into a serious conversation with Sean about Jane. “It’s time to let go.”The latter’s breathing turned heavy. It was obvious that he was upset and struggling.“You know, Elior?” Elior watched as the man in front of him raised his coffee mug with his trembling arm and took a sip, unsure whether he could taste the essence of the coffee. Seeing him like that upset Elior very much. As he waited for words of consolation to come, the man in front of him put the coffee mug down.“She takes birth control pills every time we make out. She claims that they’re vitamin tablets.” Sean laughed miserably. “She has no idea that the pills in the bottle were later swapped out for actual vitamins.“I swapped out the birth control pills in the original bottl
Airport.The plane touched down. Both travel-worn but extraordinary handsome men stood straight and tall. They were not celebrities, yet they could attract countless attention wherever they went.“I told you, Sean. We should’ve taken the special lane.”Elior felt helpless. They had just gotten rid of a corporate spy in the United Kingdom. Both Sean Industries and White Enterprises had achieved their goals.Before he could catch a breather, this Stewart bastard rushed to book a flight ticket back.He was completely drained. He then glanced at the other party… That man was brimming with energy.Comparisons were odious.“Hey, slow down.”Elior was dead beat. However, his outstanding family upbringing and long-term education and habits helped him to maintain a graceful demeanor and staunch figure in public even when he was bone-tired.When he compared himself to Sean in front of him, though, he was far from enough.Elior could not make sense of it. They were both humans. They bot
Sometimes, a person’s silence was more terrifying than when he or she was noisy.“Let go, Se… Ah!” Her incomplete sentence was completely drowned out in her throat. There was no need to say it out.He threw her on the bed like he had gone berserk. It seemed as though hugging her tight was the only way he could feel this woman’s temperature, and from her temperature only was he able to feel that she was still by his side. It was only then was he sure that she had not left him. She refused to
She was almost roaring aloud. The pain and embarrassment in her gaze were even harder to conceal now.“Say, will there be a chance that my kidney can fit in this part of yours?”Jane’s expression changed drastically as she cowered backward. “What do you mean?” She stared at the man in front of her on high alert.“If we can exchange one thing for another in this world, then can you give me something if I give you my kidney?”He looked at her tenderly.Jane, however, turned cold all over. “Do
On the double bed, there was a man and a woman.Jane stared at the man next to her… ‘He knows, doesn’t he?‘He knows that those are not vitamin tablets.‘That’s why he had gotten so mad earlier that he dragged her upstairs.‘However, why did he compromise in the end if he already knows about it?’She pondered. She could not wrap her head around it, hence she shook her head and stopped thinking about it.However, the man next to her made her more perturbed now.He was getting harder to pre
"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
