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.
Sean walked to Old Master Stewart. "I know what you want, Grandpa. But, you’re old now. Your age has made you all muddled and confused. You have to retire when you need to.“You think you can return to Stewart Industries by taking these underhanded measures while I’m away?""You!"Old Master Stewart was so angry that he pointed at the person in front of him with trembling fingers. "You bastard!"He allowed Old Master Stewart to scold him as much as he wanted. Sean’s lips tugged into a viciou
“But, you have to figure out if I, Michael Luther, is that obedient donkey who allows others to push me around as they like? Do you think it’s enough to push me around using a mere carrot as bait?"The slender legs strode two steps forward leisurely. In the blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of Old Master Stewart, looking at him face to face. Old Master Stewart was old now. He back had hunched naturally. Michael lowered his eyes, and his dark eyes fell teasingly on Old Master Ste
The woman sleeping on the couch was restless. Not long after, a row of fine beads of sweat seeped out of her forehead.In her dream.One moment it was the scene of her childhood life in the Dunn's old residence when her grandpa was still around; another moment, it was the scene of her prime year when she was eighteen years old and the center of all attention.The scene changed, and she saw herself in a wretched state. She was getting shackled and thrown into jail.The next moment, it was the
At that time, her brother turned his nose up at her and said, "Cheh, it’s just losing a fight, isn’t it? What's so great about that? I fight a lot too. Otherwise, why do you think I have a medical kit hiding under my bed?" Having said that, he held her up by the collar and threw her out of the door without giving her the chance to explain herself. Then, he slammed the door shut.Back then, as a girl in the family and as a girl lacking her parents’ love, she was very jealous of her brother. Look
Jane stood in front of the plain white door. After standing there for a very long time, she finally reached out and pushed the door open."I’m not eating." On a hospital bed in the ward, Jason could be described as withered. These days, he had been living in anxiety. His desire to live had brought about his struggle with his illness.However, it just hurt so much. Day by day as time went by, he was becoming more and more desperate.He was struggling with illness and despair. He wanted to live
Jane ignored Jason's sharp and mean words. Her fingertip was simply stroking gently. She ignored Jason completely and went on saying."When Grandpa was still around, he watched me as I grew up.”"Are you going to brag to me again about how Grandpa loved you more? Jane, Grandpa is long gone. You don't have a grandpa who spoils you so much anymore."The woman ignored those harsh words again and went on saying, "I envied you a lot at that time.“Mom and Dad loved you and doted on you. I was sti
"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
