Russell earnestly savored the taste, "It was familiar and delicious."
Someone like him, who has never eaten anything, is now actually praising the noodles she made.
Yasmine was a little surprised and said, "Then you should eat more."
Russell nodded and after finishing one bowl, he filled another bowl. Finally, he even finished the soup and then silently watched Yasmine eat noodles.
Yasmine felt the burning gaze, she dared not look up and quickly finished picking.
She stood up and wanted to clean up the plates and forks, but Russell took them first and neatly brought them into the kitchen, taking the initiative to wash them.
Yasmine stood leaning against the kitchen door frame, watching the man's tall and straight figure. It was hard to imagine that just a few hours ago, he had been irritable, crazy, and extremely aggressive.
"Zoey, I brushed my teeth."
Yasmine was a bit speechless. She walked forward and said, "My name is Yasmi
There were three people under one roof, Layne was sleeping, needless to say, the person knocking on the door was Russell.Yasmine stood in front of the door and asked, "What happened?""I accidentally broke the glass cup, cut my hand, and bled a lot."Yasmine thought to herself, it was just a scratch, why make such a fuss about it?Forget it, after all, he is mentally unstable, let's be a little more tolerant of him."Wait for me, I will go out immediately."Yasmine roughly dried her hair with a towel and then applied a face mask on her face.She raised her hand to wipe away the mist on the mirror, looking at herself with an unrecognizable face. She gathered her bathrobe and opened the door.Russell stood outside the door with his hands behind his back. The man had only a towel wrapped around his waist, exposing his well-defined chest to the air. The water droplets that hadn't dried on his body were absorbed into the towel. His
Why does Yasmine feel that this statement is a bit suggestive?Russell picked up three pieces of sushi with his fork and placed them on Yasmine's plate. "Want to try?"Yasmine felt a bit lost in her thoughts after she had that dream. She pulled her lip and said, "Okay."She picked up a piece of grilled meat flavor, tasted it, and her eyes instantly lit up."It was delicious."Layne quickly took a bite and said, "I thought you were going to say, 'Oh no, I got poisoned!"Yasmine scolded him, "So you were testing me with poison!"Layne smiled and said, "Grandma, how about we keep Uncle here? Not only can he play with Layne, but he also cooks delicious food.""No, uncle is going back tonight."Layne sighed, a hint of disappointment flickering in his eyes.Russell pursed his thin lips and asked, "Can I stay here for treatment?"Yasmine was eating sushi and said, "No, it's too inconvenient. It's not good if peopl
At that moment, Yasmine had a terrible thought, such as Russell falling ill and hurting Layne, and taking him somewhere.After all, Russell was not a normal person. How could she be so at ease leaving Layne in his care?Yasmine regretted a lot, and she turned around and left.When she was riding the elevator, her heart was pounding.As she reached the first floor, the elevator doors opened and she stepped out, only to see Russell carrying Layne walking towards the unit door.Layne hugged the man's neck and laughed happily.The moment Russell saw Yasmine, he did not recognize her."Layne!" Yasmine spoke up.Russell gave a warm smile and said, "Zoey, you're back!""Grandma! My uncle and I went to buy..."The little guy saw Yasmine walking towards him with pursed lips, and he knew she was not happy. He dared not say anything else.Yasmine walked up to the man with a serious expression on her face and asked, "W
Layne's little mouth was pouting, but the consequence of what he said was that Yasmine confiscated his tablet, and he could only read physical picture books.He nestled in the sofa, reading picture books, and sighed, "Women, they really are a dominant species!"Yasmine stood at the kitchen doorway, looking at the little person with a helpless smile.Russell finished washing the dishes and walked over to her. "Layne is right," he said. "Even though she's crazy, it doesn't matter. And no matter what age, everyone has the right to pursue love."Yasmine glanced at him and said, "Did you see the chairs in the living room?""Saw it.""Sit there properly, and I will give you a good treatment for your love brain.""..."Russell sat on the chair as Yasmine took out a silver needle wrapped in red cloth. She opened it and held a long and thin silver needle."I was going to give you an injection in your head. It wouldn't hurt much,
Russell trapped himself between Yasmine and the pool, his strong chest pressed tightly against her back, causing her body to tense up involuntarily."How could you be so careless?" The man's warm breath sprayed against her ear as he spoke, seeping into her eardrums.Yasmine felt her cheeks burning, and she wanted to pull her hand out, but she was tightly gripped by the man."Don't move, if a burn is not treated with cold water, it will leave a scar."Russell's chin was almost touching her shoulder, and Yasmine slightly turned her gaze to see the man's superior profile.Russell felt her gaze and slightly turned his head, their breaths becoming audible in close proximity.Yasmine felt that this man easily swayed people's hearts, and she turned around busily, her eyelashes trembling.After approximately five minutes, Russell closed the valve."Do you have burn ointment?""No.""I went to buy.""No need."
After seeing this news, Yasmine instantly furrowed her brow.She got up and walked quickly into the bedroom, turned on the computer, and started operating it with both hands on the keyboard.She wanted to delete this news. She must not let Derrick see it.Because she had previously asked Derrick about Russell, Russell was not at Serene Manor, but appeared here instead. If Derrick were to be alert and follow the clues, he would discover her.Yasmine quickly deleted the news and traced the IP address of the person who posted it, finding the publisher and retrieving suspicious contacts from his address book.After her investigation, it was discovered that the pharmacy owner was the whistleblower.She squinted her eyes and decided to teach this boss a lesson.She hacked into the pharmacy's system directly and discovered that the pharmacy had two sets of accounting records. This was the legendary Yin and Yang accounts.She pasted th
Troy glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the car following behind.He turned around and glanced at Russell, who gave him a look. Troy then pretended as if nothing had happened and continued driving.Yasmine did not see this scene, as she was busy arranging a wig for Layne.In the car behind, a man wearing a duckbill hat sat in the passenger seat and dialed a phone number."Boss, although the man was wearing a mask, he should be Russell because the driver was Troy. There was also a woman around fifty years old and a little girl with him, not Mrs. Maddox and Layne."Derrick sat on the large leather armchair. His eyes gleaming with a sinister light. "They had disguised themselves. You guys find an opportunity to sneak the child out, catch the thief before catching the king. I refuse to believe that Yasmine would disregard Layne.""Yes!""Did Russell really recover? Observe carefully, understand?""Understood!""Remember,
The amusement park was filled with laughter, even those who were in a bad mood would be infected and become happy.Russell lifted Layne onto a white unicorn, while he sat on a white wooden horse beside Layne.Yasmine took a look and found the maroon wooden horse in front of Russell to be the most beautiful. She swung her long legs over and sat on it.The music started playing, the carousel began to spin, and Yasmine turned around to look at Layne.The little one opened his hands and shouted, "Horse, run fast!"Yasmine had just wanted to say something when Russell took the little one's hand and said gently, "Be careful, or else you might fall."Layne laughed and said, "It's okay, I used to play like that too!""Who did you play with?""Layne suddenly looked at Yasmine and swallowed hard, 'I played with my grandmother."Russell sighed lightly, but his heart felt heavy.He had never taken Zoey to the amusement park b
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
