Ray was puzzled. Sean had forbidden him from going to Jane’s house anymore. Also, when his doctor finished the last IV drip for Sean, he looked glum when he came back.Ray felt that Jane must have known something.In the end, when he called Jane, it was as if she had eaten a bomb. She was explicitly and implicitly accusing him of being a ‘playboy’, ‘treating life as a game’ and ‘teaching someone bad things’.Ray felt even more strange when he looked at the call that was already ended. She c
However…If her suspicions were correct, then the person she was looking for was Kroger.The boss was pouring tea for him. Despite having some resentment in his heart, Kroger decided to just let it go.He picked up the cup and took a sip.She turned the laptop on her desk toward Kroger.“Take a look. Do you know this person?”Kroger looked at the resume on the screen. “She’s my assistant.”“Aside from that?”When Kroger heard that, he stood up from the chair and yelled in exasperation, “
“I want to see her.”She had made a decision. She was not asking, she was demanding.Kroger understood. He knew that Jane would not give in easily.He nodded heavily. “I’ll take you to see her.”He knew that this woman wanted to see Susie immediately.If she could drag him out of bed in the middle of the night with one phone call, it meant that she had decided to get this over with quickly.Plus, Kroger knew that the woman did not trust him as much as she once did anymore.Kroger wasted n
Susie was getting goosebumps from how she looked at her.She rubbed her temples. “If you want to continue to be tangled up with the past, then I am unable to stand in front of you now.“Susie, let me remind you.“There’s a funding gap in Dunn Group.”Susie’s expression changed. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” She did not even think twice before saying that cautiously.Jane smiled.“See, when you hear that, your immediate answer is that you don’t know what I’m talking about.“Y
Jane looked deeply at Susie Thompson. “Are you using the Dunn family to threaten me?” “Jane Dunn, if you sue, the whole world will know that the Dunn family is nothing more than an empty shell.“I’ll be happy to see you lose everything. “Can you, someone who has lost everything, still stand before me and question me like what you’re doing now with such an aloof manner?” She hated Jane Dunn. What right did she have to be so high and mighty? How could someone who was once so servile lea
“At least I, Susie Thompson, am not insane! “In the whole Dunn Group, there are thousands of families who rely on Dunn Group to survive. “Even though I, Susie Thompson, hate you enough to slap you, I still won’t put so many employees out of work and cause so many families to be unable to make ends meet due to my own desires.” Jane stared at Susie before spluttering into laughter. She reached her arm out to shove Susie. “I must say, you’re so much cuter now.” She looked down at her wristw
The one eating was silent while the one watching only had her in his eyes. The woman kept her head down as she ate mouthful by mouthful. The person opposite her had their hands underneath his chin as he watched silently. For those who did not know of their relationship, they would probably misinterpret that they were a pair of old companions. In the dead of night. The weather forecast had warned of a cold spell, and it was that very night that the temperature dropped all of a sudden. H
Her hand clenched together in a sudden grip. Her palm grew sweaty all of a sudden. The person had asked her if he was ill. Jane stared blankly at the person at the foot of her bed for a long while. Many times she opened her mouth, yet realized that there was nothing to say. “Feet… are warm now.” Another while later, her feet were warm. There was a steady rhythmic pressing on the soles of her feet. The atmosphere, however, was absolutely noiseless. Wanting to break the silence, she could
"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
