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
Those words had perhaps sparked off something in the woman in front of him. Although her face was tense, she still maintained a trace of calm. Suddenly, as though something had fired up within her, those pupils of hers that seemed like a pool of stagnant water turned sharp!“What do you want me to do?“What do you want me to do!“What else can I do?“Mr. Stewart changes his tricks and games again and again. I’ve been afraid. I’ve escaped. I’ve hidden!“But he!”She raised her hand and poin
“I…” She wanted to ask if she had made a mistake, if this was just a misunderstanding. Her hoarse muttering fell in the eyes of another person. Another conclusion was made.Michael walked up to her and said, “I'm sorry. I didn't know that a push could bring such serious consequences.” There was a trace of guilt on his face. No more, no less, just the right amount. The woman looked behind her and was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. “It has nothing to do with you.”The man's broad palm that was hiding behind him clenched and relaxed. Nothing to do with him, huh? It was too late now. It had and must had everything to do with him.He expressed what he felt in his heart. With a sudden “Sss”, he wore a painful look on his face.“You… What’s wrong, Mr. Luther?”“Nothing.” The man with the pained look on his face covered the back of his waist, looking guilty of being found out. He endured the pain and shook his head at the woman. “I’m fine.”“Don't move.” Feeling suspicious
“Boss, isn't your surname Stewart?" Jojo chased after her and asked cautiously. “Why are they calling you Jane Dunn?”At the door of her room, the woman stopped and glanced at Jojo. There was fear in the girl's eyes. She searched her gaze and realized that the girl had put away the childlike innocence she used to have in front of her. It was now replaced by fear.“You’re afraid of me, aren’t you, Jojo?”The woman asked a question in reply.With a swoosh, the immature face of the girl in fron
“Did I say something wrong, Boss? Luka protected you, so naturally, she’s a remarkable person.”“No, you’re right.” The woman made her incense offering and dusted her hands lightly. She turned around, looking pleasantly warm. “You’re absolutely right. If it’s possible, Jojo, I do hope that you will never change who you are as a person.“I like the way you are.”She was extremely serious about it, but the girl in front of her looked puzzled. The woman thought for a while and shook her head...
"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
