“Are you really… showing this to Sean?” Elior raised his head and looked at Ray as he stood against the light. He could not see Ray’s expression clearly, but he saw Ray nodding his head.He sprung up from his seat. “Okay. I’ll come with you.” No one knew what Sean would think after watching the video.The two of them headed for Stewart manor.…At Stewart manor.In the study.There were three men. Two were leaning against the corner of the desk with their arms crossed while the other reeke
The weather was great this morning when he woke up.After taking a shower and putting on a bathrobe, he sauntered out of the bathroom and was just about to pull the curtains open when he heard two knocks at the door.Michael dropped his hand that was holding onto the curtain and walked toward the door.With a soft click, the door was open.The two people in and outside of the door were stunned at the same time.Michael paused for a while. The next moment, a sly look in his eyes flashed and
“Why the effort?” Michael laughed delightfully. Even his eyes were shining. “I heard that Dali Ancient City is bustling with energy. You can find a lot of strange and interesting things there.“I was planning to go and take a look anyway. Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with this place. Since Boss has promised to gift me a tea set and recliner, why don’t you be the good person that you are up until the end and go shopping with me around Dali Ancient City?”The woman said without a single hesit
There was a dedicated bus in every small town to get from Erhai to Dali Ancient City.Unlike the big bus in the city, these were small buses with only a dozen seats.At this moment, the woman and Michael were in the pickup truck on their way to Dali Ancient City.There were large farmlands along the way. Here, towering buildings were nonexistent. Michael rolled the windows down. “Music?”“Up to you.” The woman narrowed her eyes in a languid manner. She leaned against the front passenger se
She picked up the cup and took a sip. “Your tea is still the best around here,” she said without answering the question, looking at the owner who had just walked over. “If you like it, I can give you a can when you go back.” The owner of the tea shop was a woman in her thirties. They had appreciated each other’s company for three years.Michael was seemingly picking out a tea set, but he was actually paying attention to Jane out of the corner of his eye the whole time.“Found anything you li
Michael smiled lightly. There was indeed a story behind this tea set.He looked at the back of his hand with the corner of his eyes. The redness had faded significantly, but it was still visible.He squinted his eyes and smirked. He saw a tall and muscular man standing next to a pickup truck. His back was facing the street, his face facing the door of the driver’s seat. He did not know what the man was doing.If someone was to walk past him right now, they would be able to see the man’s arm
The woman was cursing in her heart. This was not about whether it was embarrassing or not!“I can walk. It’s not that serious. Get up… Ah!” Before she could finish, she shouted. She looked at the man in front of her with disbelief. Was he really trying to carry her?When she came back to her senses, she was slightly unhappy. She hated people forcing her to do something she refused. At this moment, she did not like what Michael was doing to her. She started struggling. “Let me down. I don’t l
“You’re beautiful.”When he said that, she was taken aback.Her hand was still holding his.Michael was feeling gleeful. ‘Can she keep holding my hand for a little longer?’ There was electricity coming from her hands. It felt numb as it coursed through his entire body. It did not just feel good. It was even better than any Thai massage.“I didn’t hear you properly. Mr. Luther, what did you say?”Michael squinted his eyes comfortably. “You’re so beautiful.”The woman’s face turned cold. The
"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
