Toby squinted his eyes, trying to see if she was joking.
After a while, a mischievous smile curled up at the corner of his lips, "Alright!"
After speaking, he tightly held onto her slender waist.
In Leanna's pitch-black pupils, the handsome face of the man she had seen before was reflected. In that moment, she became flustered.
She placed both hands on the man's chest and said, "I-I-I, I was just joking with you!"
"Woke up?"
Leanna's lips curled into a smile, "Hmm, I sobered up. Did I say something nonsense just now?"
"You asked me for a kiss."
She forced a laugh, "Haha, did I really say something so ridiculous? Um, thank you for bringing me back! You can leave now!"
"It's not absurd, I think it's very normal for a wife to ask her husband for a kiss."
Leanna quickly covered her mouth and said, "I just vomited, it was so disgusting. You go out first, I'll freshen up."
Toby raised an eyebrow, clearly showing
Private airport.The designers of Galaxy Studio boarded the plane.Leanna, however, did not see Zoey. Earlier, Toby had said that Russell and Zoey had already arrived at the airport, but now she did not see the two of them.She glanced at the man beside her and asked, "Didn't you say that Zoey and the others had already arrived at the airport?"Toby looked at the magazine in his hand and casually said, "Yeah, but they went on vacation to Aldmill, not with us."Leanna was absolutely furious, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"Toby glanced at her and said, "Tell you, and then you'll go be a third wheel again?"Leanna was speechless."Enjoy this trip with your employees! Besides, I will be accompanying you!"Leanna said, "... It's better not to accompany at all!"She asked, "Which city did they go to in Aldmill?"Toby shrugged, "They wanted to keep it a secret, afraid that you would disturb them."L
When Carolyn opened her eyes again, she found herself in a pitch-black place.The nose was greeted by a musty and damp smell.Her hands and feet were tied behind her back, her mouth was gagged, and she couldn't move her body at all.She was caught, it must have been Lola who did it, because she knew the secret recorded in the robot dog.I really didn't expect Lola and Ariana to be sisters, while Zoey turned out to be the real heiress of the Keller family who was switched at birth!This can also explain why the Harmon family didn't like Zoey so much.Zoey was really miserable and pitiful!After being born, he was immediately switched and has been oppressed by the Harmon family for so many years.Carolyn was feeling very regretful at the moment. Why hadn't she heard this recording earlier?If we had known earlier, Zoey's true identity would have been exposed, and she would have been reunited with her loving family, the Kel
Brodie had no hesitation when it came to this question.He said firmly, "If Lola really has a problem, as you say, and she has played such a game, we, the Keller family, have become pawns at her disposal. We will never condone her actions! Madeleine has not fully recovered yet. Her lung function is not as good as before. We, the Keller family, are not saints, we will not do foolish charity."Russell was very satisfied with the other party's response, "The Keller family was very reasonable.""That's for sure," Brodie sighed lightly. "I was actually thinking of having a family reunion party when you guys came back, to officially make Zoey a part of our Keller family. But with this unexpected turn of events, it looks like we'll have to postpone it."Russell said quietly, "It's not too late to wait until the truth is revealed."Brodie nodded, "Alright."The young nurse rushed in, "Prof. Keller, an accident victim has arrived at the emergency roo
Although Zoey's affair with Dr. Z was quickly exposed and cleared up, it was widely spread and even reached overseas.In the laboratory, the man looked down at Nelson, who had just been injected with the antidote, and his eyes gradually returned from crimson to normal.The man asked, "Are you awake?"Nelson's eyes were filled with despair. "Please, kill me!"The man chuckled, "Even if you didn't say it, I would have done the same. After all, the antidote had already been successfully developed, and you no longer had any value to exploit."Although he was determined to die, he was still fearful when it came to actually dying.The man took out a syringe filled with green liquid from the refrigerator and played with it in his hand. "Do you know? Zoey is still Dr. Z!""What? She, she is Dr. Z?" Nelson thought about how he had been tormented by that miracle doctor and he should have suspected Zoey all along."You said how foolish yo
Zoey said okay and started the car, "Where should I find you?"The other party hummed and said, "You should wag your tail first before speaking!"Zoey squinted her eyes and said, "Okay."She didn't think the other party would be monitoring her, it was just a trick to deceive her.However, she still did as the other party requested and left the car sent by Russell far behind.The bodyguard in the car behind called Russell, "Mr. Russell, I'm sorry, we didn't follow Mrs. Maddox."Knowing that Zoey wanted to break away from them, but they didn't dare to say it, they could only say it was their own fault.Russell, of course, could understand, "It's none of your business, she had the intention to get rid of you, how could you possibly catch up?"The bodyguard asked, "Shall we track Mrs. Maddox's phone location and follow her?"Russell wondered how it was possible that they had never been able to track Zoey's phone location, ev
The hospital operating room was surrounded by people.When the surgical light went out and the metal door opened, Zoey walked out from inside, her face showing a slight fatigue.Marlene tearfully held Zoey's hand and inquired about Carolyn's condition.Zoey nodded, "Succeeded."Marlene felt relieved and her body suddenly fell backwards, fainting. Braylen stood behind her and caught her just in time.Zoey quickly took Madam's pulse and let out a sigh of relief. "She just relaxed after being overly nervous, it's a process of releasing stress. Taking her to rest for a while will be fine."Marlene was arranged by Troy to rest in the vacant ward.Alonso's expression remained serious and tense as he asked, "Zoey, is Carolyn out of danger now, but does she have any aftereffects?"Zoey pursed her lips and spoke honestly, "Carolyn was hit in the head by a stone, causing extensive brain trauma, with the hippocampus, which controls memory
The atmosphere in the interrogation room was tense.Reagan stared at Zoey with a fierce gaze, veins popping on his forehead, and angrily said, "What did you say?"Zoey leaned back in her chair and chuckled, "You're contradicting yourself. During the explosion on set, you clearly wanted to kill me, and when you kidnapped Carolyn to lure me out, Ariana was excited because she thought she could transplant my heart. Your intention all along was to kill me, and you never once considered giving Ariana a new heart. So Ariana is not the precious one you claim she is. There are only a few people involved in this case, so Lola is the one you call precious! Lola is the mastermind!"Reagan's hand, clenched into a fist, trembled slightly as he uttered a few words through his teeth, "It wasn't like this!"Zoey smiled faintly, "It's okay, your death sentence has been pronounced. The mastermind behind it is currently facing the consequences of their actions. Even if you
Zoey slept until half past three in the afternoon.She rubbed her eyes and sat up, and when she looked down, she found that she had already changed into pajamas, with a faint scent of shower gel on her body. It seemed that Russell had bathed her.She picked up the phone from the bedside table, replied to Leanna's message, and then got out of bed, dragging her slippers to the bathroom.After freshening up, she walked out of the bedroom and entered the kitchen, smelling the aroma of food.I watched the man's tall and slender figure, walked over and wrapped my arms around his lean waist, pressing my cheek against his back.Russell smirked slightly, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?""I have already slept well, thank you.""What do you thank me for?" Russell stirred the ribs in the pan and then set down the spatula, covering the pot.He turned around and wrapped his arms around the person, saying, "Tell me, what do you thank m
The weather was extremely cold, and Royce got into the car with Viviana.The little person sat in the passenger seat, dressed in a soft and fluffy manner, looking just like a little steamed bun."How old are you?"Royce habitually reached for the cigarette box, but when he remembered there were children in the car, he stopped this action."I was five years old, oh." Viviana extended her tender little hand, with five fingers resembling tender shoots of bamboo.Royce thought it was cute and reached out to poke it.Viviana immediately withdrew her hand, "My mother said that men and women should not be too familiar with each other.""So, you dared to talk to me?""So, don't I have to find someone to borrow a phone from?""...it seems to be something like this."Royce asked, "Does your mother still have to work so late?""Yeah, Mom said that only by working can Viviana earn a lot of money.""Why do you ne
Brodie was indeed much older than Joselyn, but that's just how relationships are.Fate has arrived, age and such are not a problem.Brodie clicked his tongue and said, "You brat, do you still want the latest anime figurines?"Layne looked at him with an innocent little gaze and said, "If you don't take me, Joselyn will take me!"Brodie laughed and said, "You were quite good at pinpointing other people's weaknesses."Layne smirked and said, "Dad told me that every time he wanted to discipline me, I would bring up Mom, and it worked really well."Brodie looked at Russell, who shrugged and said, "Like father, like son. Layne learned well."Brodie chuckled lightly, "Shouldn't it be 'afraid of the wife'?"Russell curved his lips and said, "This was a virtue, learn it well and be careful not to be dumped."Brodie: "..."His mouth was still so venomous, I wish I had beaten him up more back then.Russell raised an
After work, Brodie drove to the art studio.Because it was close to New Year's Day, most people chose to travel, so the art studio had few visitors.Whenever there were customers, it was Dwayne who introduced them, while Joselyn was painting on the third floor.Dwayne saw a man come in and greet him, and Brodie nodded before going upstairs.Joselyn was facing away from the staircase, wearing a cream-colored knitted coat, and was engrossed in drawing.Hearing footsteps, Joselyn didn't look up. "The customers have all left, right?"Not hearing the man answer the question, she sat up straight and turned around.The cool scent of wood reached her nostrils, and thin lips kissed her lips.Although they soon separated, it also made Joselyn's heart beat faster.She blinked her eyes lightly and said, "Why did you come so early?""I wanted to give you a surprise."Joselyn giggled and said, "I don't believe it. You mu
After Brodie and Joselyn had breakfast, they took Joselyn to the art studio.Dwayne couldn't help but smack his lips when he saw Joselyn being brought by a man."Is this resolved now?"Joselyn smirked and said, "I used to have a boyfriend! Haha, so did you!"Dwayne sighed lightly, "Your boyfriend could be approved, the probability of my boyfriend being accepted is almost zero."Joselyn patted the man's shoulder and said, "Love knows no boundaries, be it nationality, age, or even gender, and species."Dwayne's mouth twitched, "Joselyn, were you too excited? Has this escalated to the level of species?"Joselyn laughed and said, "Sorry, I misspoke."Dwayne let out a long sigh and said, "I was so scared."He followed Joselyn up to the third floor and watched as she took out a computer and other devices from her bag, leaning against the table. "Professor Keller still had a brain."Although it is a compliment to Brodie,
Brodie made two servings of spaghetti, and both of them enjoyed it.After eating, Brodie washed the dishes while Joselyn kept him company."Shall we go and paint?"Joselyn shook her head, "I will accompany you and paint after you leave."Brodie glanced at her and said, "Where am I supposed to go? Kinley has already agreed to live together."Joselyn pursed her lips and said, "Isn't this a good idea?""Didn't we live together before? At that time, we hadn't become a couple yet, but now it's official. Are you still going to ask me to leave?""Suit yourself." Joselyn hurriedly stepped out of the kitchen, feeling a bit embarrassed.She entered the study and picked up a paintbrush, getting ready to paint. However, her heart had already drifted into the kitchen, with a smile lingering on her lips.She didn't expect that she could really be with Brodie, after all, Brodie was good-looking, tall, well-educated, and good in every w
Joselyn sat on the cushion in front of the French window, with her hands wrapped around her knees and her face buried.She heard the doorbell ring and looked up, turning her head to see.Who would it be at this point in time?It should be Dwayne, he was worried about her.She stood up and walked over. Through the peephole, she saw Brodie standing at the door.She subconsciously pursed her lips, her heart racing, and couldn't help but clench her fists.How did he come back?Was it to come and make it clear to her, so that she wouldn't have any delusions?She closed her eyes and said, "I know what you want to say, so you don't need to say it. I am self-aware, and I won't contact you in the future, I won't bother you in your life. You have the majority of the shares in the art studio, and I will transfer all the money to you. Let's consider it as if we don't know each other when we meet again, let's delete each other's contacts."
Joselyn furrowed her brows slightly, previously Brodie had thought that Deborah had some issues, but now the two of them could actually be together, laughing and talking happily.Why can men appear to like you and still go on dates with other women?Maybe it was just not enough liking, not enough love.She had not even said yes to Brodie being her boyfriend, and he was already eagerly looking for someone else.She was just a small fish in his big net.In just a few seconds, she came to the conclusion that Brodie was a scumbag, a player.But Joselyn felt really upset in her heart, because only when you care, you will feel sad.She was about to suggest going to a different restaurant, but Dwayne, the unreliable teammate, walked away."What a coincidence! Professor Keller, is this your girlfriend?"Brodie chuckled and said, "He was a friend."Deborah was a little disappointed, but when she saw Joselyn's face change,
Joselyn stood there, her dark eyes fixed on the man, and she opened her mouth.When she realized it, she was a little annoyed that the man was teasing her and was busy turning back to close the door.The man extended his foot to block, "Tsk, it caught my foot, quite painful. What if I can't stand on the operating table?"Joselyn quickly pushed open the door, afraid that she might really trap his foot, and he would no longer be able to have the surgery.Brodie took the opportunity to enter the house and quickly changed his shoes.Joselyn closed the door, "Did I catch it?"Brodie nodded and said, "What should we do?"Joselyn saw that he had no problem walking, so she knew he was deceiving her. She snorted and said, "I should have known to push harder.""If I were really injured, wouldn't you take care of me?""Not at all!"Brodie chuckled, "So heartless?"He glanced at the bouquet on the ground and asked, "Do
Joselyn did not tell Brodie the password, but Brodie still showed up at her doorstep early in the morning.The two of them were talking on the phone when Joselyn secretly ran over to peek at him through the peephole."Let me in and I will make you a delicious breakfast.""Um, I could do it myself! Professor Keller, please leave!"Brodie sighed lightly, "Do I really have to go back?""Um.""Then I went to the hospital.""Okay.""Is there nothing you have to say to me?""No."Brodie chuckled mischievously and said, "Then I will eat with you tonight, let's have fondue."Joselyn didn't say yes, but she also didn't say no.Brodie had to go to the hospital for a consultation today and had a surgery, so he couldn't accompany her during the day.However, he had booked breakfast and lunch at a seven-star hotel for Joselyn.When Brodie arrived at the hospital, he saw Deborah, who had been waiting
