“Tonight? You? Prove? To me?” He sounded more and more suspicious with every word he said. “Why? Are you scared?”“Who told you I’m scared?” She was going to prove to him tonight? How?He hesitated, but eventually looked at the woman in curiosity. “Tonight? Are you sure?”“Yeah, tonight.”Michael’s heart was racing.She was going to prove it to him tonight. This was something to do with his body… Was she trying to…“Alright, I’ll bet with you.”“Okay.”“Don’t be so anxious. What’s at s
However, a hand grabbed his arm.“Mr. Luther, there’s a stake for every bet. You can name anything you want if you win. If I win, I can name anything I want too, right?“If you leave now, you’re only admitting defeat. Then, please leave Memory Homestay. As for your loss, I’ll compensate you accordingly.”She was not stupid. She knew the expression in Michael’s eyes. It did not matter what his purpose was. It did not matter if he was serious or just playing.If this was a game to him, then
She walked forward in a hurry. She pushed the people in front of her away. She could not walk fast with her legs, but at this moment, she was running to the front of the stage like a normal person who had no issues with her legs.The women who were pushed by her were not happy. “Go away! Who do you think you are? Such an uncultured woman. How dare you cut the queue!”The woman ignored those accusations. She used her soft body to squeeze through the crowd and approached the front of the stage
“Boss, did you even ask for my opinion when you made those decisions?”He was interrogating her. His chest was heaving even more intensely now.His hand was holding the steering wheel. He was gripping it tighter and tighter.“Boss! What are you afraid of?” he asked. He knew her past. He knew that someone had rooted himself in her heart.Was there no way to pull out that stubborn root?He could feel different emotions fluctuating in his heart. His jealousy drowned his sanity. “Or perhaps you
Haydn got off the plane in a hurry. There were taxis at the airport. He got into one and gave the driver an address.His friend was living in a homestay near Dali Ancient City.She was talking to him on the phone when he arrived at the entrance of the homestay. She stood in the sun while watching the cars coming and going.A taxi approached and stopped in front of the homestay.When the car door opened, Haydn appeared in front of her.Haydn’s friend was a woman. Many years ago, Haydn had lo
She still refused. Perhaps she was too heartbroken and devastated. Her pride did not allow her to do so. No matter what kind of pain she had to go through, she would hide it all from everyone around her.“The first time I saw her, she was holding a broom. She was still a cleaner,” Haydn said something weird to Mindy all of a sudden.In the beginning, Mindy did not understand. After a while, she came to a sudden realization.After a while, she said, “You’re right. She’s not an employee here. I
Jason was still awake. Ever since he got sick, he felt like his soul had been sucked out of his body. So many nights had passed, but he still faced difficulties falling asleep.He had muted the WeChat group. Today, in a curious coincidence, he opened it. What he saw caused his heart to fly up to his throat.There was hope in his eyes.Jane Dunn!Jane!They found Jane!‘Mindy, is this true?’ He typed a few words hurriedly. ‘I’m a dog if I lie to you,’ Mindy texted back. ‘Plus, that’s your
He was talking, but he did not stop what he was doing. As he said that, he signed a contract.“Go to the office and call the senior executives to come to the house. I want to have a meeting about the annexation of the Davidson Group.”The butler understood. The young master of the Davidsons had just called to give information. Now, Sir was talking about the annexation of Davidson Group.He was hesitating. Would that kid provide fake news in order to make Sir have mercy on his family business?
"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
