"Have you gone mad?!""Go away, go away, aaaaaah! I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm really sorry, it was all my fault my fault my fault all my fault all my fault all my fault…"Mr. Lucas had never been treated like this before. The switch was right next to him on the wall, and he reached out to flip it with a click. Light flooded the entire room. He was even more frustrated now. Trapping both of Jane's arms with one hand, he freed his other hand to grab Jane's chin. "Hey, are you done throwing a tantr
"...""She loved me, a love that was etched into her bones. That's why she died a tragic death." Jane froze on the spot, looking at Mr. Lucas. His voice was perfectly calm, as though he was telling someone else's story. However, Jane could clearly hear that heart-wrenching pain in his calm and emotionless voice. She did not know what to say. She just instinctively felt that this man was a little pitiful right now, so she reached out her hand without thinking. Awkwardly and clumsily, Jane gav
Zach was evidently a decent fighter himself.He dodged and perfectly evaded Sean’s fist.After that single punch, Sean and Zach both jumped apart, staring each other down.Sean’s expression was completely cold, and his eyes gleamed dangerously. Of course, he could tell that Zach was not serious about fighting him, or else he would not have dodged that punch… Zach Lucas was not the type to back away from a fight. Instead, he would try to catch the hit instead of dodging it.Those were two vas
Her eyes were sunken, her face was pale, her lips were chapped… What happened to the Jane Dunn who bloomed as proudly as a rose? Where did she go?He looked at the woman on the bed… What a pitiful thing. That was all he thought.How could he possibly have fallen for such a lowly, pathetic, pitiful thing?He was Sean Stewart. How could he possibly fall for such a woman?His lips curved into a slight jeer. That thought had barely settled in his heart before he ignored it completely.He did no
‘You sure have guts to ask, Elior!’Ray, who was always a bit of a troublemaker himself, could not help a shudder this time as he looked at Elior.“Cough cough! Uh, Elior, it seems to me like our business is more or less done here. I’m getting hungry, so let’s go eat.”‘Come on, come on, man. Let’s get away before Sean Stewart flips out…’ Ray thought to himself urgently.Seriously, though, Elior knew all about the history between Sean Stewart and Jane Dunn, right?Jane killed Rosaline. Altho
“I’ll take it!”Of course, there was no way that the two young masters would actually end up eating at a food stall.…East Emperor, 28th floorSean Stewart stood beside the bed, looking at the woman sleeping on it through narrowed eyes… Her secret?This woman’s secret… What could it be?Why did Elior know it while he did not?He picked up his phone and called his subordinate.“Boss,” said Uno respectfully through the phone.“Help me…”Sean had barely spoken when—“Luka, don’t go…”
Thunk!That was the sound of her knees hitting the ground!“Mr. Stewart, I’ll definitely put five million and not a penny less into that card. I promise I’ll work my hardest, so please believe me. Give me some more time.”Five million was just a bar he put there to torment her. It was his way of humiliating her and taking revenge on her… If obeying would make him feel slightly better, if it could ease his anger, then she was willing to do anything at all.Her freedom cost five million bucks,
“Thank you, Mr. Stewart.”Her lips were pale. They had cracked, so every word hurt.However, her words easily angered the man.“Get out of my sight!”“Yes, sir.”“I said, I don’t want to see your face!”Sean looked at the woman on the floor, and the latter obeyed without even a hint of hesitation. Just as he said, she rolled herself into a ball on the floor. “Yes, sir.”She was so obedient… that it was unbelievably infuriating!She was so shameless… that it ticked him right off!She was
"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
