What goes around comes around… huh?Sean put her in jail for three years, robbing her of her pride and confidence.Similarly, she left for three years, and just as easily destroyed Sean’s pride and confidence, no?Three years in exchange for three years. Everything had changed.Elior seemed to understand something. Something clicked in his mind and everything was clearer. Even so, how could he just give up on this man and let him go on like this?It was just like how he had once hated Jane
At the same time, in a manor on the outskirts.The manor stood independently from other blocks, surrounded by green grass and a golf course.It was a European-style mansion, vast but still magnificent.In the third floor study“Boss, we’ve taken down the post, and the IT team has found the original poster. Our men have interrogated that couple; here’s the recording of that conversation.” An employee with a crew cut, black suit, and solemn expression offered a voice recorder to the man behind
A jeep traveled along the mountain road. There was no need to switch on the air conditioner in the car. After the windows were opened, the breeze carried fresh air inside.“This is it?” The car slowly came to a stop. On the back seat of the car was a man clad in casual attire. His good-looking brows furrowed slightly. He scanned his surroundings and muttered in his heart, ‘Isn’t this place a little too remote?’Erhai was huge with countless homestays built along the lake. Most people, however, preferred to stay in the old towns on the edge of Erhai even though they were rather reluctant as the old towns were very crowded.This place, on the contrary, was slightly remote.It was precisely because of this that the homestays here were not as commercialized and were much purer than in the old towns.“I’m sure it’s right, Boss. This is the place.” An assistant with cropped hair had come with the man in casual attire. “This is the homestay. Memory Homestay.”“Drive there.”“Yes, Boss.
There was a strange look in the charming man's eyes. He smiled imperceptibly and nodded. "Is there a room available?""Yes! Yes, yes, yes!" Anyone who managed a homestay business would constantly receive and see off guests. It stood to reason that one would meet many people, but this was actually Jojo’s first time meeting a handsome man who had such unique and charming aura.The man followed Jojo into the lobby. He noticed bright windows and spotless desks as soon as he entered the lobby. As he stood in front of the reception counter, he could see the courtyard view as well as the slightly distant Erhai Lake through the glass folding door.However, the man's line of vision suddenly stopped at the bamboo strip recliner on the veranda of the courtyard. A lightbulb went off in his head in an instant.“Sir, we have a guest occupancy agreement here at our homestay. Take and look and see if you can accept it?” Jojo handed over an agreement. Although she did not know why her boss created
Michael’s gaze never once left the woman in front of him.He could clearly see a confused and befuddled look in those bright pupils. He chuckled silently in his heart… Yes, how could this woman remember him?Speaking of which, his existence was truly awkward.In the eyes of the grand and wealthy Stewart family, he was just an illegitimate child. Holding the title of an illegitimate child of a wealthy family was not something to be proud of. Hence, his existence was destined to be awkward and contradictory.Would anyone want to be a wealthy family’s illegitimate child?The world wanted the Stewart family’s bloodline, yet he could not wait for the day when he could just let all of his blood run clean!This woman did not know of his existence. He did not exist in her memory. Even if he did, he would simply exist as the infamous ‘Michael Luther’ whom everyone gossiped about.In his memory, however, this woman existed.When he was very young, he did not understand why he did not h
“I’m sorry.”The man put the teacup down elegantly.That was it? The woman looked at him in bewilderment. That was her cup. She had never met anyone like that. Cups were personal items. Could such a highly personal item be used back and forth between strangers?She was slightly annoyed now. “Mr. Luther… Right? I can lend you my recliner, but I don’t think it’s a good idea for Mr. Luther to use personal items such as a cup without my permission. Say, do you usually have a habit of drinking out
“Hey! Boss!”Not far away, the woman squatting on the ground turned her head back after hearing his voice. She looked puzzled. “Anything else, Mr. Luther?”“Boss, my name is Michael Luther. You haven’t told me your name yet.”The woman was stunned… When was the last time someone had asked for her name?“Just Boss. Call me ‘boss’.” Name? Name, huh? She did not know what her name was either. She gave herself a self-deprecating laugh.Michael’s heart stirred. Then, his dim eyes lit up again. “
The contents of the USB flash drive were copied into the laptop next to him. Elior was just about to open the file when a hand was placed on the back of his hand. “Just a reminder, you better be mentally prepared.”Elior was stunned for a while. Ray’s expression was very serious. This was rare… Was it really so terrible?Feeling skeptical, Elior opened up the video file. It was fine at first. Suddenly, Elior widened his eyes and exclaimed, “What is this!” He pointed at the video that was cur
"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
