It was a simple bowl of noodles, but it was being eaten like a french-style dinner—extremely slowly.When the bottom of the bowl was empty, the man suddenly raised his head to look at the woman opposite him. She had already put down the bowl and chopsticks and was sitting quietly. He suddenly yelled loudly, “Leave. Don’t come back again!”The woman heard this, took a deep look at the man, and stood up silently. “Thank you and sorry.” She should not have started anything with this man, much les
“So, I really am a beast.”“Hey, what happened to you? Is it the queen in your heart? Did she make you sad?”“Michel, now that I think about the past, I think it’s weird that I found the title ‘hunter’ as an honor.”“Oh no, Callen! You have really gone mad!”…A taxi was steadily heading toward the airport. ‘Vivienne, I’m back. Come to my office tomorrow. I will give you the contract tomorrow.’After a while, the other party’s Wechat message was sent to Jane’s phone.‘So urgent? It can be
“You are a member of the Dunns anyway. You are Jason’s birth sister. You should donate your bone marrow for your family, for your brother!”“You are asking me, a patient with one kidney, to donate my bone marrow?”“I asked the doctor. You can survive with one kidney. There are so many people in the world with one kidney. Aren’t they living a good life? Besides, donating your bone marrow doesn’t necessarily mean that something bad will happen. The probability of that happening is not high. Howe
The night flight took less than three hours before it arrived in S City. When she got off the plane, it was past 1 am in the morning.When she checked out of the Banyan Tree Hotel, she had left in a hurry and forgot to change her clothes. Since she was traveling from south to north, there was a drastic change in weather. When she walked out of the airport, the cold wind poured into the neckline of her clothes.Vivienne had not slept yet. Jane got off the plane and turned on her phone. Soon, th
"When did you come back?"Are you hungry?“Let Sean serve you food."She stood there and did not move. She watched as the person got up and turned on the light. Suddenly, warm light poured down. The man babbled endlessly while serving her food."Janey doesn't know this, but Sean knows how to cook a lot of food. I learned it all from television."Glancing over, the bowl of white rice on the bar in front of her was still steaming."Vivian said that you’ve been eating obediently. Did Vivian l
The man yawned and asked very cleverly, "If Sean is obedient, will Janey still want Sean?"The woman's complexion suddenly stiffened... She could not answer a question asked by the child-like Sean Stewart.She said stiffly, "Go to sleep. If you dare say one more word, I’ll throw you out."The man really stopped talking.Not long after, there was a deep breathing sound coming from the side of the bed. The woman slowly turned around and stared at the face of the man beside her that was exposed
The first ray of sunlight in the morning spilled into the bedroom, and the mottled spots of light fell on the white sheets of the bed. Several strands of bright light sprinkled on the woman's face.Even though she was exhausted from catching a late-night flight, her insomnia had made her toss for the first half of the night. She only fell asleep when it was very, very late. When dawn broke, she did not want to wake up. She decided to sleep in today, which was rare.Her face felt itchy. She str
Ray asked cautiously. It was rare for Jane to get so angry that she even directly addressed the person as ‘bastard’. It could be guessed that the ‘bastard’ really caused big trouble this time, which resulted in this woman’s anger."Ahem… How did that ‘bastard’ provoke you?" Ray could only ask awkwardly again after the woman did not respond for a long time.It was okay if he did not ask. After this question, Jane's whole body froze. Her small face was green and white, colorful like a color pale
"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
