When Russell returned to the apartment, he only smelled a sweet and sour scent in the air, and did not see Zoey's figure.
He put down the gift box in his hand, took off his suit jacket and hung it at the entrance, and walked into the bedroom, but Zoey was not there.
He guessed that Zoey was probably sketching in the study.
Gently pushing open the study door, I saw Zoey already asleep, lying on the desk.
Walking up to the table, he looked at the girl's delicate and peaceful sleeping face, and his heart softened.
He bent down to give Zoey a light kiss on her cheek, but when he was just inches away, the girl grabbed hold of his shirt collar.
Zoey opened her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like raven feathers. "Does Mr. Maddox want to steal a kiss?"
Russell leaned on the table with one hand, while the other rested on the back of the chair. His dark eyes, like the vast deep sea, were profound and mysterious.
"I really wanted to,
The coffee shop downstairs from the Maddox Group.Zoey and Nathalie sat face to face.Nathalie ordered a cup of black coffee and slowly sipped it. Then, she placed it on the table and looked at Zoey, saying, "I was very dissatisfied."Zoey raised an eyebrow slightly, "So, I came here just to listen to you complain?"Nathalie stared at Zoey with a resentful look in her eyes, slamming her hands on the table, causing the coffee in her cup to spill over. "What is it that I lack compared to you? I am not inferior to you in terms of looks, physique, or talent. Why did Shen choose you? He ended up paralyzed because he saved you! Do you know how much he suffered? Have you been there for him during his most painful moments? Did you witness the difficulties he faced when creating the Storm Organization? Did you accompany him through the process of slowly standing up and walking again? Have you ever created artificial intelligence with him? No! None of it! It was me
Upon hearing Russell's question, Carolyn nodded and said, "Yeah, I think Lola is really great. It was her who helped me find Carsen to fix my robot dog that night."Russell fell silent for a moment and then asked, "How did you happen to meet her?"Carolyn said, "My robot dog malfunctioned and ran off without following the route I planned. I found it in the backyard based on the location on the remote control."Russell, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced back and said, "So you met Lola in the backyard?""Yeah," Carolyn blinked her eyes, "I found the robot dog and was walking back when I met Lola at the corner."Russell furrowed his brows and asked, "Why did she appear there?""I didn't ask. She asked me how I ended up there, so I told her about looking for the robot dog," Carolyn felt he was very serious, like interrogating a criminal. "What's wrong, Russell? Do you have any questions?"Russell lowered his gaze and said, "It's noth
After a week of working day and night, thirty-five sets of dresses were completed.When the crew members saw these beautiful dresses, their eyes couldn't help but light up.Whether it was the design, craftsmanship, or materials, everything was of top-notch quality, even the buttons were exceptionally exquisite.A good movie is not only about the actors and the plot, but also about the costumes and props.Madeleine had many dresses because she was the female lead. She couldn't help but admire each exquisite dress."Zoey, your design is truly exceptional, surpassing even the Star from Galaxy Studio. However, I also appreciate the design of Star. To be honest, your design styles are quite similar."Just as Zoey was about to reveal that she was Star, she saw Hailey, who had been kicked out of the design studio by her earlier, walking towards her.Hailey greeted Madeleine first and then smiled, pursing her lips, saying, "Ms. Harmon."
The man in the back seat of the car closed his laptop on his lap, and he looked at Zoey. His thin lips moved slightly as he spoke that sentence.Zoey looked at him with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his straight nose, giving him a restrained yet sexy look.She leaned in, extending her index and middle fingers to dance on his arm, tracing along his arm all the way up to his shoulder, neck, and finally his handsome chin, before pinching it.She raised an eyebrow and said, "Excuse me, sir, who do you think you are to speak such frivolous words to me?"Russell chuckled lightly and reached out to wrap his arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace. "I was your man."When Troy opened the driver's cabin door, he happened to hear this sentence.He sat down and immediately raised the partition.Zoey glanced and chuckled softly, "Troy was sorry."Russell lightly brushed his nose against hers and said, "Don't wo
The next morning.When Zoey woke up, she saw Russell gazing at her affectionately."Awake?"Zoey, afraid that he would come again, instinctively moved back a little.Unexpectedly, the man embraced her, and the scorching heat instantly spread throughout her body, making her face blush and her heart race uncontrollably."I had to go to the film crew later, I couldn't be late.""Hmm," Russell caressed her smooth back, inch by inch, eroding her rational nerves.He was extremely gentle, "Zoey, did you feel comfortable last night?"Zoey bit her lower lip, listening to the man's enticing voice."Don't speak.""Hmm." Russell parted her lips with his fingertips and lightly brushed his fingertips against them. "I won't say, just do."He turned over and pressed the person down, "Zoey, you promised to compensate me."Zoey had just wanted to ask him when she had agreed, but before she could speak, the man's kiss
When Zoey found out that Toby had become the scapegoat again, she laughed heartily while eating the Spicy Prawn that Russell had peeled for her, saying, "Forgive me for being so heartless."Russell meticulously peeled the shrimp for her, which looked very pleasing."Brothers are meant to have each other's back."Zoey said, "I could already imagine Toby saying, 'Brothers are meant to stab me twice.' Hahaha..."Russell saw her laughing so happily and fed her a peeled Spicy Prawn, saying, "Then I will trick him a few more times in the future."Zoey hesitated for a moment, "I wonder if Leanna will be questioned by her family?"She was too busy laughing and quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her hands, then picked up the phone and called Leanna.Leanna proudly boasted to Zoey about how she had tricked Toby, when suddenly Toby's deep voice could be heard."Sorry, I need to have a chat with Leanna."Zoey looked at the disconnecte
It was past ten o'clock in the evening when Zoey and Russell were unexpectedly greeted by an unexpected guest.Leanna stood at the entrance, wearing a set of Pikachu pajamas, her hands fiddling with the drawstring.She blinked at Zoey and then asked Russell, "Um, can you lend me Zoey tonight?"Russell's face immediately darkened like ink upon hearing the words. He looked at Toby, who had just walked in through the door, and asked, "How did you guys come here?"Toby raised his hand and pressed his forehead, "Leanna and I got married, so we moved out to live together. She suggested moving here, but I never thought you guys also lived here, let alone on the same floor."Leanna took a step forward and held Zoey's arm, "I don't care, tonight I want to sleep with Zoey."Zoey patted her hand and said, "Okay, I will go downstairs with you."And so, Toby stayed at Zoey's house, staring at Russell with big eyes.The two of them sat on th
Lola crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at Hailey.What were you doing?Hailey's lips curved slightly, "I didn't do much, I just looked at the actors' costumes.""Really? Zoey is in charge of Madeleine's clothing, so your reason for coming here to look at the clothes is not sufficient."Hailey looked into Lola's shrewd eyes and felt guilty. She pursed her lips and said, "I want to find Ms. Harmon and hope she can forgive me."Lola raised her chin and said, "Didn't we hit a wall last time? Did you come up with a good solution this time?"Hailey replied, "No, but I want to have another chance to try.""Did you ask for forgiveness after secretly taking pictures of someone's artwork?""No!" Hailey's decibel level instantly rose, "I didn't take any photos!"Lola looked at her trembling hand tightly clutching the phone and said, "Alright, then bring up the photo for me to inspect.""You had no right to order me, to
Nancy felt that she had already indulged herself last night, and she didn't want to spend the whole day lying in bed today."Are you free today?"Dalton lowered his head and kissed her fair neck, his voice hoarse, "I don't know, if there's anything, the hospital will give me a call."Nancy felt the man's momentum building up. Her legs were now sore, and she placed her hands on the man's chest, "Is your phone out of battery?"Dalton noticed her resistance and didn't continue. He kissed her rosy lips and said, "I'll go take a look."After he got out of bed, he went to freshen up, then changed his clothes and left the bedroom. He picked up the trousers from the floor and took out his phone, only to find that it had run out of battery.I charged my phone and turned it on, only to discover several missed calls.He tightened his lips when he saw that string of numbers.He opened the message, and there were several messages on it, all
Dalton watched as the bubbles rose in the bottle of beer. He lifted the bottle and poured all the liquid into his throat.Nancy felt that he had never truly gotten over Amiya, so she also lifted the bottle and drank it up with a gurgling sound.She also hid a lot from him, for example, when they went to Mount Greycoast together, Craig was also there. It was Craig, Nyasia, and Mario who rescued her.Craig clutched his arm as he saved Nancy and narrowly escaped before the bus exploded, almost losing his life.After that incident, she and Craig fell in love.They agreed to take the college entrance examination together and be together forever.But the heavens did not comply with human wishes, and before she applied for the college entrance examination, her father, Kolton Eaton, found out about this matter.He went to find Craig and told him that he was not worthy of Nancy at all, both in terms of family background and personal conditions
Nancy sat up and looked towards the door.She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and got out of bed to open the door."I said I wouldn't eat anymore..."She thought it was Reina, but to her surprise, it turned out to be Dalton."Did you finish the surgery?"Dalton lightly hummed, looking at her with a somewhat hazy expression. "It was already nine o'clock, you were half asleep."Nancy was surprised by the man's gentleness, "Hmm, I slept for a while.""That was me who woke you up.""No." Originally, this dream was meant to wake up."Are you hungry? Let me take you to eat something."Nancy asked, "Did you eat?"Dalton said, "No, he came straight to the operating table.""I went to tidy up a bit."Dalton held her hand and said, "No need, it was fine just like this."Nancy smiled lightly and said, "Okay."Dalton led Nancy down the stairs, and Reina, sitting on the sofa, looked
Nancy really couldn't believe this was true, but the man's passionate kiss was definitely not fake.She always had a sense of uncertainty, but Dalton seemed to perceive her thoughts and kissed her even more passionately.Nancy's first kiss was his, and the first night was also his.She was completely his.Nancy's kisses were clumsy and inexperienced, but her initiative easily aroused the desires of men.Dalton looked at her fair body, with crimson at the corners of his eyes.He took her down with him until late at night.Afterwards, he took Nancy to take a bath and then carried her out to blow dry her hair.Nancy was tossed around so much that she didn't wake up at all.Dalton looked at her for a while, and then the phone on the bedside table started vibrating.He glanced at the numbers on the screen, then took his phone to the living room.He stood in front of the French window, lit a cigarette, and smoked
After Nancy finished breakfast, she went to the gallery, and the employees noticed something unnatural on her face.After all, everyone saw the scene where the original wife was provoked by the third party yesterday, and they all sympathized with Nancy.Everyone was being extremely cautious, afraid of making any mistakes that would further upset this poor woman.Nancy also noticed everyone's strange behavior, but she couldn't explain her marital life, so she could only pretend not to hear or not to notice.She did not receive any messages or calls from Dalton throughout the entire day.She knew that last night was just a game for adults.Perhaps one day, Dalton would divorce Amiya because of her.However, what she didn't expect was that Dalton came to the art gallery at four o'clock in the afternoon.Nancy was very surprised as she looked at the man appearing at the office door, after all, this was a treatment she had never exp
Nancy trembled with her eyelashes, feeling the scorching breath of the man.Her hands trembled as she tightly grasped the man's shirt, a piercing pain shot through her, and she felt like her whole being was about to be torn apart."Ouch!"The painful sound of a woman came, and Dalton also felt that barrier.So that night, nothing happened between them, and now it is the woman's first time.Dalton looked at the tears in the corner of Nancy's eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, "Be good, I'll be gentle."He was clear-headed and knew that they were just a business alliance, perhaps one day they would get divorced, and he should stop.But at that moment, he simply didn't want to stop, and this feeling was very peculiar.He was a medical student and had performed many dissections and surgeries. The human body held no fascination for him.Even the most beautiful bodies were just organs to him in the past.Before, he was attr
The air froze at that moment.Nancy looked at this scene in shock, Dalton's face covered in cream.Luckily, when Nyasia was cutting the cake, the candles and the cake stand fell to the ground, otherwise Dalton would have definitely gotten hurt.Nyasia was not from a wealthy family, so how could she afford to compensate Dalton?Nancy pulled Nyasia behind her and said, "Sorry, Dalton, Nyasia didn't mean to. Don't be angry."Nyasia rolled up her sleeves and said, "Scumbag men and cheap women should be taught a lesson!"Nancy looked at Mario and said, "Mario, you take Nyasia and go first."Mario watched as Dalton raised his hand to wipe the cream smeared on his face, knowing that not taking Nyasia away would only make things worse.He grabbed the person around the waist and carried them into the elevator. Before the elevator doors closed, he saw Nancy going to wipe Dalton's face.Nancy was pushed away by Amiya. "Dalton, are
Dalton?Nancy hesitated for a moment, looked inside, and saw Dalton sitting on the couch, lazily leaning against the backrest, drinking a glass of wine by himself.She was afraid that the people inside would see her, so she immediately hid to the side of the door.Dalton's voice came, neither loud nor soft, with a casual tone, "The wedding at home is being prepared."Elliott Moody approached him and said, "Amiya is not leaving this time, she's staying in the country. She's now a famous wedding dress designer! She left in the first place for her dreams, so why do you think she's back now? Surely it's for you! Don't you want her anymore?"Nancy spoke softly, her body stiffened, and her fingers also closed together.She waited for the man's answer, but the man remained silent.Footsteps were heard, and she immediately turned and left.Standing on the terrace, facing the cool breeze, Nancy, who was dressed lightly, felt even colder
At the toast session, Carsen accompanied Carolyn, who had changed into an evening gown, to go table by table to propose toasts.Carsen drank red wine, while Carolyn drank juice.Zoey raised an eyebrow at Russell and said, "Carolyn has arrived, are you ready?"Russell had long noticed that Carolyn was eager to come to this table to propose a toast. He chuckled lightly, "Of course."In no time, Carsen and Carolyn came over. They first toasted the elders and then started toasting in order of seniority.First, it was Royce and Mya, Brodie and Joselyn, Madeleine and Kristian, and then it was Zoey and Russell.Carsen looked at Russell and said, "Russell, thank you for taking care of Carolyn all these years. Come, Carolyn, let's have a drink with Russell."Zoey smiled and said, "Wishing Uncle Carsen and Aunt Carolyn a hundred years of happiness!"Russell nodded and raised his glass, "Cheers to Uncle Carsen and Aunt Carolyn's happy mar
