At night, the woman could not sleep well. Sometime later, raindrops starting falling down against the windowpane. She tossed and turned repeatedly, trying several times to force herself to sleep.She tossed and turned many times on the bed. After an hour, she was still awake.She pulled off the quilt on her body, stepped on the ground barefoot, and paced irritably in front of the window.She put on her dressing gown and walked to the living room. She turned on the TV, and the children's progr
As time passed bit by bit, those light eyes opened unpredictably. She stepped on the floor barefoot. She walked to the window. When she passed by the big bed, she put aside the phone in her palm. The phone rolled twice in the air, fell on the mattress, and laid quietly there.The screen of the phone was still on. The screen showed ‘Ray Sierra’, and it rang for three seconds.When she opened the window, the wind and rain no longer hit the window glass. The messy raindrops swept into the house a
This afternoon, Vivienne knocked on her office door. The door opened, and an acquaintance was brought in."Mr. Luther, It’s been a long time since we last met.”When Michael Luther arrived, Jane was still thinking about the collaboration between the two parties. Since they had entered the second stage, she should go to the other party’s subsidiary company again.Unexpectedly, Michael Luther brought a letter with him.Looking at the envelope dyed with a light blue ink design, she saw that the
She and he shared a strange telepathic connection.These might be the days when Sean and Jane were the most synchronized.There were no quarrels, no rebuke, and no blame.Everything was calm.It was so calm that they looked like sweet lovers.She did not lose her temper at him, and he was too well-behaved to look like the overbearing and insufferable Sean he used to be.Every day, he would make breakfast and dinner, and she would enjoy these meals quietly.Sometimes, he would even lay dow
Who cared if he was dumb or shrewd. Who cared if he remembered it or not.She stopped struggling. Her palms that were shoving him back hung down slowly. She closed her eyes and allowed the warmth to continue pressing onto her lips.It felt like a century."Does this make it better?" she asked."Janey, Sean wants to be with Janey forever."She looked at his dark eyes and smiled like an enchantress. Her smile was so dazzling and bright that it almost burned him."Do you want to go to the amu
"Let me out. I still have a lot of things to handle in the company."Michael was simply driving. It seemed like even the road condition was on his side. The car would barely stop for a minute on the road as it was green light the entire way."Follow me and you will see the truth."Michael said, "Or perhaps, you simply want to live in deception?"Jane gritted her teeth.The car drove smoothly into the Stewart Industries’ building."Get out of the car." Michael opened the car door elegantly and got out of the car first. He walked around to the other side and opened Jane’s side of the door. "Of course, I can carry you out of the car too."He joked after seeing that Jane still refused to get out of the car after a long time.Jane glared at Michael viciously. Surprisingly, her glare had actually given Michael the urge to stop what he was currently doing. Though, he quickly waved the thoughts in his mind away. A playful smile crept back onto his good-looking face."Ladies first."S
No one expected the woman to look so calm.Ray breathed a sigh of relief. Michael’s eyes were seemingly able to produce a cold beam. He pressed his lips tightly, looking like a snake as he closely observed the pair of man and woman.There was another person amid the crowd. Even though he did not carry the same urgency as Michael, his moving Adam's apple still showed that he was paying the same amount of attention to the pair.Sean was staring nervously at the woman in front of him with his da
He looked at the slow departing figure… Behind these measures he had taken, he had not hesitated to join hands with the annoying Haydn Soros, forcing Sean to strip off his mask to stop pretending to be a fool in order to step in and gain control of the situation. He had planned this whole thing just to see the moment she caught Sean in Stewart Industries! To see the moment she looked regretful! But... she brushed him off just like that?The violent storm that he had been waiting for never came.
"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
