Her hand that was holding the phone was shaking like a fallen leaf in autumn. Ray had never seen a woman like her before. She did not need to tell everyone her sadness. She could just sit there and one could feel her sadness.Madam Dunn felt her chest getting tighter. She did not know this kind of emotion. She had never felt this way before. The thing that she was concerned about right now was…“Jane, how did it go? Mr. Stewart…”“Mr. Stewart said he’ll let Dunn Group off the hook.” The woman
“The only person in the entire Dunn household who can persuade Jane to call me is Old Master Dunn. Since they dared to use Old Master Dunn’s name, then they should know that the woman has a temper as well,” Sean said lowly. “It’s only right for her to be the person in charge of the Dunn household.”Now, it was for the best that she wanted to be the person in charge of the Dunn household. It meant that she had to come back to S City from the simple and peaceful Erhai. When she was back in S City
Haydn was in Yunnan.He saw that woman.He wanted to approach her… but his feet felt like they were made of lead.That nightSometimes the wind was very strong at Erhai at night.There was always a car parked next to the road opposite Memory Homestay.Sometimes it was a cab, sometimes it was a private car. The number plates were always different, but the person inside was always the same: Haydn Soros.He did not dare to get any closer to that homestay.After all, she was inside.The win
Haydn raised his head and looked in the rearview mirror as well, giving the Didi driver in the mirror a smile that looked worse than a sob. “Let’s go.”He did not know anymore!“Go where?”“Where’s the place with the most people?”“At a time like this?” They Didi driver gave it some thought and then beamed at him. “It has to be the bars at Lijiang Ancient City then, but it’s a two-hour drive from here. Do you want to go?”“Sure! Why not?” Haydn grinned too, but it was an extremely ironic sm
“Jane… Jane… Why are you here at a bar?” Haydn ignored the manager’s existence completely. Was he really drunk, or was he…?He just kept staring intently at the trembling little cleaner.“I-I don’t have money. So I’m here to earn more.”There was a flash of pain in Haydn’s eyes, and he hurriedly pulled out his checkbook. “A pen, do you have a pen?”The manager quickly offered him one. “Here.”Haydn did not give it a second thought. He just took the pen and rapidly scrawled a number across t
This woman was one who had seen things.Her words reached Haydn’s heart precisely and effectively.Haydn closed his eyes and opened them again. His thin lips curved upward, forming a beautiful smile that oozed with pain. It was both insane and despairing. “Sure.”His hoarse voice seemed to hold no pressure nor care, saying it happily and carefree.He stood up!‘She doesn’t love you. You’re the only one in pain.‘She doesn’t love you, so are you going to shut yourself in a fortress?‘She d
Dunn Group was going down!That was the news circulating wildly around S City lately.“That Sean Stewart, really.” When the rich elites had a drink too many at their lavish private parties, that became their topic of conversation.“Tsk-tsk, he’s so heartless, abandoning the past like that. No matter what, Joseph Dunn was once his father-in-law.”Zach smiled without a word, smoking his cigarette at the gathering. The wisps of smoke turned everything a hazy white.He had no patience for these
The baldy said, “It really is ‘that’ Jane Dunn!”“Why did you…?” Zach did not know what to say after that. This woman seemed to have changed, but when he looked closely, she also looked like the same Jane Dunn from three years ago, careful and cautious with everything in life.However, his first glance at her today really had him feeling as though the woman before him was somewhat different now.He could not say how she was different, though.Was it that she was a little more distant than sh
"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
