Leanna pursed her lips and felt that Toby had changed a lot.
She used to be big, but tonight she transformed into a fairy, and she was almost devoured completely.
Forget it, they have already had one time, and it has long been devoured.
Leanna just felt that this man seemed to have the potential to be a show-off after having a meaty meal, quite flamboyant.
She turned off her phone directly and went to sleep under the covers.
The next day, Leanna woke up and it was already past nine o'clock. She quickly got out of bed and ran out of the bedroom, only to see Zoey sitting on the couch in the living room, talking on the phone, seemingly discussing some experimental data.
Zoey saw Leanna running out with her hair disheveled, and after saying a few words over there, she hung up.
Leanna pointed to the surveillance in the dark, and Zoey nodded, "I only controlled it for a few minutes. The other side thought we were sleeping when they saw us."
Leanna thought that Zoey would never let Gilberto buy fish, so this must have been intentionally brought by Gilberto.Gilberto was a person with a meticulous mind and a suspicious nature, so it was highly likely that he was testing Zoey.If she were to dispose of the fish hastily, it would instead raise Gilberto's suspicion. So she had to come up with a plan.She walked out of the kitchen and said, "I wasn't very good at cooking, especially fish."Gilberto took off his coat and put on his shoes. "It's okay, I am good at cooking fish," he said. Zoey didn't mention eating fish, but I think having some fish soup during the confinement period is still beneficial."Zoey nodded and said, "Thank you."Gilberto rolled up his sleeves and said, "I will go cook, and when it's ready, I will call you all.""Okay."Leanna followed Gilberto inside and told him where the seasonings were placed.Gilberto nodded, "I understood everything,
When Zoey woke up again, the sun had already set.Since she got pregnant, she has been feeling a bit sleepy. Coupled with her previous emotional distress, now it feels like a tightly stretched string suddenly relaxing, making her feel particularly tired.Leanna walked out of the kitchen carrying a fruit tray and saw Zoey wake up. Just as she was about to greet her, she saw her jump up from the couch and run towards the bathroom.Zoey leaned over the toilet and vomited for a while, which was a consequence of taking medication earlier.Leanna brought a glass of water and gently tapped her back."Brush your teeth."Zoey nodded and slowly got up after rinsing her mouth.She walked up to the washstand, propping her hands on the countertop, looking at her pale reflection in the mirror. She closed her eyes and sighed, "I hope Gilberto won't think too much about me running to the restroom just now.""I don't think much of it once or tw
Upon hearing the words, Alonso's pupils contracted slightly.His body couldn't help but shake, "You said, you said Russell was poisoned since childhood?"Zoey briefly recounted what had happened recently."Did you guys actually go through so much?" Alonso fell into deep thought."Think carefully, do you have any enemies?" Zoey recalled the man Natalie had mentioned. "We went to Mirland before, and there was a woman named Natalie in Butteriron Village who said she had helped a man who was being chased over forty years ago. That man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, very handsome. Unfortunately, Natalie couldn't remember his exact appearance. Later, Natalie died, and this man became a mystery. I don't know if this information I'm sharing will be helpful for the person you need to consider, but it's just a clue."Alonso's murky eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and sadness. "The Maddox family is a large clan, and we are the legitimate branch with ma
Leanna saw a tall man standing there, her hand with the hair tie paused, and a look of astonishment appeared in her eyes."You, you, you, how did you come back?"Toby curled his lips and did not answer her question, "Was this intentionally worn for me to see?"Leanna denied, "Of course not! I just found it while tidying up my clothes. I bought it back when I was a freshman! I just wanted to see if I could still fit into it.""Did you buy it when you were a freshman?" Toby walked over and leaned against the side of the dressing table."Yeah!" Leanna didn't want Toby to see, but he had already seen, so there was no need to hide anymore.She tied the hair of the wig neatly, looked left and right, quite satisfied, and then stood up and turned around.Unexpectedly, when I turned around, my waist tightened, and I was pulled into the man's arms.Toby lowered his gaze and looked into her eyes, "You can still wear the clothes from our f
Russell raised an eyebrow as he looked at Toby's stern gaze and said, "Of course, I can."Toby squinted his eyes and said, "I didn't know how you became like this."Russell leaned back against the chair, "I was always like this, it's just that you fools couldn't see through me."Toby poked his cheek with his tongue and said, "Zoey had a miscarriage, and as the father of the child, you didn't even have a bit of remorse. You really are an animal!"Russell looked at the person in front of him with a gloomy gaze and suddenly laughed, "What's there to be attached to? It's just an embryo. If you care about Zoey, then go and spend some quality time with her. I believe Leanna and Zoey are so close, they won't be jealous!""Do you know what you were saying, Russell?""Weren't you here to end our partnership? You were the one who spoke those pointless words! Zoey and I are just missing a divorce certificate. If you really like her, then persuade her t
Brodie revealed that Zoey's heart had been implanted with an explosive chip."Carsen, do you have any way to unbind the chip?"Carsen furrowed his brow, "Unless I know the code of the chip, I can only try to unbind it, otherwise I am helpless."Brodie mentioned the risks of the surgery, which gave Carsen a headache.Because besides this, there was no other way to see the chip code.Both of them fell into deep thought.Downstairs.Royce set off several sets of new fireworks, and each firework burst into the night sky, looking especially beautiful.Madeleine shouted, "Royce, why do you act like a reckless teenager?"Royce smiled helplessly and said, "Only you dare to say that to me!"Madeleine pouted, "I used to have a sister-in-law, but I wouldn't dare say that to you anymore!"Royce was about to say something when he picked up a phone call. He squinted his eyes and grabbed a magic wand, giving it to Madelei
In order to not stand out, Zoey wore all black.As she walked, she said to Madeleine, "Do I look like a blind bear now?"Madeleine laughed and said, "Where did this adorable blind bear come from?"Zoey curved her lips, and Madeleine lifted the scarf up to cover most of Zoey's face.The two of them went out through the back door and saw a black Volkswagen parked at the entrance.The driver's cabin door opened, and Roland ran to the back door of the car. "Zoey, get in."Zoey nodded and sat inside with Madeleine.Roland looked around cautiously and then got into the car and drove away.During this period, Roland was assigned to the research institute, where he would stare at the experimental data every day and inform Zoey of any developments immediately.Roland glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "Zoey, I observed that the experimental data was stabilizing, but the mice exhibited some symptoms of drowsiness."Zo
Russell and Zoey hid in the corner of the alley, leaning against each other, enjoying a long-lost tranquility.Zoey recounted all the past events that Alonso had told to Russell.Russell had never imagined that Zackary had held a grudge for over forty years, and had sent his grandson to seek revenge on him."How dare Zackary, who killed so many people in the Maddox family, have the audacity to seek revenge on us?" Zoey exclaimed angrily. "This person has no moral compass and has always believed that he should be the head of the Maddox family, that he should have supreme power. He is just a branch of the Maddox family, and he should be grateful to receive any dividends from the Maddox family. How can he shamelessly try to take over the Maddox family like this?"Russell sighed heavily from his nostrils, "Desire is at play. He intensely longs for what he does not possess, wanting to seize it for himself. He does not consider this to be wrong."Zoey fe
Russell couldn't explain it this time, he raised his hand and pressed his forehead.To avoid suspicion, Troy directly transferred to Dalton's hospital when he arrived.When Dalton entered the ward and saw Layne, his heart was deeply shaken.This child looks exactly like Zoey, identical in every way.No wonder Russell recognized this ghostly-looking Zoey at first sight.The little one blinked his big eyes and sucked on a lollipop, "Uncle, you looked so handsome!"Dalton approached and asked Russell, "Is this your son?"Russell nodded and asked, "Are you handsome?"Yasmine was speechless."Looking handsome!" Dalton wanted to say, the male version of Zoey looks really good, even better than Russell, but he remembered Russell's advice not to mention Zoey's name in front of Yasmine. He wanted her to remember on her own, so he held back the rest of his words.He raised his hand and rubbed the little guy's head, "Does it
Yasmine glanced sideways and caught sight of Russell rushing towards her, momentarily stunned.She stood up from her seat and said, "How did you come?"When Russell passed by her, he raised his hand and gave the woman's shoulder a squeeze, "There won't be any problem."She said to the nurse, "I have the same blood type as my child, draw mine."The nurse asked, "Are you the child's father?"Yasmine exclaimed!The nurse looked surprised when she saw Yasmine and asked, "Is he the father of the child?"Yasmine was about to say no when she heard Russell say very confidently, "Yes!"The nurse pointed at Yasmine and asked, "And what about her?"Russell remained calm and composed as he uttered, "My mother-in-law has some opinions about me because I had an argument with her daughter."Yasmine was speechless.Russell raised an eyebrow and said, "Right, Mom? Layne needed a blood transfusion now, saving the child is th
Yasmine was initially startled, and then she began to struggle, but it was in vain.Russell was very skilled at using tricks to immobilize her."What did you want to do?"Russell smiled in his eyes and said, "I just wanted to ask you why you didn't take my pulse before giving me an injection."Yasmine did indeed forget about this matter, "It was my mistake, I apologize.""Do you have something on your mind?"Yasmine pursed her lips and denied, "No!""Are you still reminiscing about last night?" Russell had been thinking about keeping his distance from her after last night, but his body and mind couldn't help but want to get closer.He couldn't keep his distance!"I didn't!" Yasmine's voice involuntarily raised a few decibels.Russell saw that she was getting a little impatient, so he said, "Don't be angry, I let go."He slowly let go, and Yasmine pricked the needle.The needle was just about to stop
The next morning.Yasmine woke up and realized that Layne was not by her side.She heard the laughter of children outside the window, so she got out of bed and went to the window.Russell was watering the roses with Layne.Layne held the water hose with both hands, while Russell bent down and held his little hand to help him control the direction. They watched as the water splashed around, and Layne laughed heartily.Yasmine's lips curled slightly, and this scene was quite heartwarming.But the smile on her face gradually disappeared, none of these belonged to her, what was she expecting and longing for?She wanted to find out as soon as possible if the Huffman family's tragedy was related to Russell.After she finished washing up, she reapplied her previous makeup and went outside the villa to call Layne back.Children are easily dependent on and attached to people, so she wanted to keep Layne away from Russell in order
Russell's eyes were deep and dangerous as he stared at the man. "Who sent you?"The gaze was filled with a strong sense of danger, making the man's scalp tingle. He had no doubt that if he didn't tell the truth, Russell would kill him in the cruelest way possible.He confessed, "Derrick! Maddox is your Maddox, Derrick."Derrick?Russell had never heard this name before, but the surname Maddox was somewhat intriguing.He looked at the other four people and said, "Is that right?"The other four people also nodded repeatedly in agreement.Russell stood up and turned around to look at the two people still talking on the sofa, "I'm leaving, Derrick."Troy furrowed his brows, "This name sounds familiar to me. I think I've heard it somewhere before."Braeden rubbed his chin, "I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before."Russell took off his white gloves and said, "The rest is up to you guys, I'm going back first."
Russell glanced at him and said, "What's the excitement? Have you been single for too long that you become perverted at the sight of a woman?"Troy chuckled and quickly pursed his lips, lowering his head.Dalton's mind seemed to be working particularly fast. He cleared his throat and said, "Have you improved a bit and started returning to your sarcastic state?"Russell put his arm around the man's shoulder and led him up the steps, heading towards the entrance of the hospital.Yasmine glanced at Troy and asked, "Who is he?"Troy respectfully replied, "He was Mr. Russell's good friend Dalton, and this hospital was opened by him."Yasmine nodded, "So this is the standard for every male protagonist in a romance novel, a doctor friend?"Troy was speechless.Yasmine shrugged her shoulders and quickly followed.As he watched the woman enter the door, Troy burst into laughter, but as he laughed, tears welled up in his eyes.
Yasmine looked over suddenly, and the man stared ahead, gripping the steering wheel with both hands.His hands were slender, and his knuckles were distinct, just like a perfect piece of artwork.His profile was too outstanding, with contours that seemed to be outlined with charcoal, sharp and distinct.The protruding Adam's apple showcased the man's sexual tension, faintly exuding a wild scent.The dim yellow light of the streetlamp shone on his face, casting alternating shadows and highlights on his features, creating a sense of mystery.Russell glanced at her, "Did you really think so?"His voice sounded like it had been rubbed with sandpaper, with a low and magnetic tone, which was very pleasant to listen to.Yasmine stared at him, "Russell, weren't you loyal to your wife? Then why are you flirting with me?"Russell knew that he had upset her, so he stopped teasing her. "My wife wants me to live a good life."Yasmine
Yasmine didn't expect Layne to say such words. She trembled her eyelashes and held the little one's hand back."Layne, marriage between a man and a woman must be built on a foundation of love and affection. It is a sad thing for someone to become a substitute for the person who holds love in their heart, as no one can replace them."Layne nodded, "I understood."He hugged Yasmine and looked at her with blinking eyes. "Mom, actually I think you are also pitiful, not knowing who Layne's dad is. So Layne thinks it's better for you not to look for dad and just stay with uncle."He sighed, "I don't want to think anymore, my brain capacity is not enough, the adult world is really too complicated. Mom, why don't you give me a bath instead! Layne is going to sleep!""Okay."Yasmine took him into the bathroom and gave him a bath.After coming out, the little one climbed onto the dressing table and sat on the chair, swinging his little legs.
"Go back to Serene Manor?" Yasmine furrowed her brow. Derrick is now more dangerous than Russell, so going to Serene Manor is indeed a good idea, but it doesn't feel right.She cleared her throat and said, "Those people were chasing after you, what did Layne and I do?"Russell naturally guessed her thoughts, "Can't you cure me?"Yasmine lightly chuckled, "I saw you were quite normal now, maybe you didn't need any treatment after all.""That was because you were there." Russell and Yasmine's gazes collided in the rearview mirror.Yasmine averted her gaze and said, "I felt like your illness had improved for a month or two, so Layne and I would leave by then."Russell fell silent for a moment and then said, "Okay."Layne's eyes rolled around. One or two months, huh! Uncle better hurry up and become a father!Yasmine said, "Both Layne's and my belongings are at Rivulet Villa, we need to go and get them."Russell saw through
