Most of Sean’s men were still in Dali, but their big boss had long since left the ancient city.On the way, the man’s handsome face looked calm.However, his tightly clenched fist occasionally revealed his nerves.Ray could see all of it. He reached out his hand and patted the back of his friend’s hand comfortingly. “You’re gonna meet your wife, not the president. Relax.”Of course, that was just a joke.The car slowly drove further away according to the instructions of the navigation system. As they headed toward Memory Homestay and entered the Erhai region, the area gradually grew more and more remote. Ray frowned. “Did we go the wrong way?”A homestay would best function at a place with high tourist traffic, of course.“We didn’t.” Next to him, the man chuckled but could not hide the self-deprecation in his eyes. “Don’t forget how she got away in the first place.”Ray fell quiet… How had she gotten away?They searched from one place to another, finding a tiny hint of he
That familiar warmth, that familiar smell, that familiar… terror assaulted her senses!She shook in fear and horror, and it was reflected in the way her eyes trembled even as they were squeezed shut. Even her lips shook as he kissed them tenderly.Her tremors reached the man behind her. There was pain in his eyes, loneliness, regret… From now on, he never wanted to let this woman down again!He never wanted to make her feel so scared again… That was completely his fault.His strong arms circ
The man’s expression changed in an instant, and he strode forth to pull her up quickly.“Are you okay? Let me check, are you hurt anywhere?” He clumsily tried to check her for injuries.Smack~!There was another loud slap!He looked at the hand she had smacked away. The back of his hand was completely red.“Go away! Go away!”Her heart was an utter mess… “I said, go away!”“Sweetheart, calm down. Please, calm down…”Calm down?He was telling her to calm down?Right, right!She had to
A pair of eyes looked at them, from fury to exasperation to envy… They belonged to Michael Luther.He was standing right at the staircase.The moment he saw Sean Stewart, he had run down in a hurry. He wanted to stop all of it, but from the second the light of the living returned to that woman’s eyes, he just could not bring himself to step forward.Before that, no matter what he did, whether he flirted with her, cared for her, or even kissed her, that woman simply did not react.He had personally seen that woman, dead and still as ditchwater, ‘come to life’ as soon as Sean Stewart appeared before her.He could not accept it!He could not accept the fact that he was just a bystander!When the woman started throwing things at Stewart as though she was possessed, though, Michael thought to himself that if he ran over to her now, he would not be helping her. Instead, he would just be getting in the way of her venting the past three years’ worth of pent-up emotions.Her agitation l
Michael’s eyes turned cold. “I’m dead meat? Why do you say so?“Because I touched something you wanted?“Hahahaha… I knew it, you haven’t changed at all. It’s been so many years, but you’re still as stubborn and hard-headed and selfish as ever!”Every word he said was filled with an endless cold. The man he was looking at had a face so similar to his, with eyes of the same shape, long, narrow and cold. Both of them had beautifully-defined brows and pupils as dark as the night. Both of them… l
Ray rushed forth and subtly placed his hand around his friend’s arm, propping the latter up.After that, he abruptly raised his head, his pretty eyes shooting Michael an icy glare.“Looks like we fell right into your trap, Mt. Luther. Well done. I consider this a lesson learned.”Psychological attacks could not be blocked or defended against. His arrow had struck Sean right in the heart!If this was any other time, Sean would definitely be too strong-willed to fall after Michael’s clearly pr
The woman was pushed aside by Michael. Feeling slightly bewildered, she looked at everything unfolding in front of her eyes, not knowing what to do. She did not know why both men had suddenly started brawling with each other.Both had outstanding fist-fighting techniques and were no easy opponents.Ray's face turned dark. He was about to go up and stop them, but Sean skillfully pushed him aside.Ray was no match for Sean when it came to fighting. Hence, he was very much surprised to see that Michael was a matched rival to Sean in this contest of strength.Clearly, Michael had been practicing diligently and did not neglect his martial arts practice.However, there was one thing that Michael did not understand. Sean was a descendant of the Stewarts. The education and training he received since childhood was nothing ordinary people could tolerate.The biggest mistake Michael made was touching on the subject of Sean’s mother.Even though Sean was in a terrible state at the moment, h
“Sure, go ahead and call the cops. We’re just a couple quarreling. See if the cops care.” Infuriated, he stared intently at the woman in front of him. Since they could not go back to how things were in the past, then he would do anything just to keep her by his side. He… just wanted to see her every day.With innumerable thoughts running through Sean’s mind, not once had it occurred to him that all that was left in his heart was a love gained from his petty pleading.Michael stood up abruptly
"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
