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
Yasmine was stunned, watching the two people holding hands, her heart pounding.Layne covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh my, holding hands! So sweet!"Yasmine realized this at that moment, she wanted to pull her hand back, but she was tightly held by the man.Yasmine warned in a low voice, "I will not treat you anymore!"Russell reluctantly withdrew his hand, "Where is Layne's grandfather?"Grandfather?Her husband?Yasmine had no idea who Layne's father was, she really had no impression at all.She looked up and said, "Passed away."Russell was speechless.If he didn't want to scare her, he would have had Troy deliver the paternity test report to her right now.Layne was his son, and she was his wife.It's okay, he wouldn't let them leave again.Yasmine was afraid that Russell would ask again, so she said, "Let's go play with the spring dog."Russell picked up Layne from the ground and
Russell listened to the woman's voice, which sounded slightly hoarse, and sensed that she was a little upset.His chin rested on her forehead, "I didn't have a mother complex, I only had a complex for you.""But I, I am not your Zoey. I, I have a husband. What you just did was not right.""Well, you were also wrong. You just kissed me back."Yasmine was feeling conflicted in her heart, as if she had cheated on someone. She didn't want to become that kind of person."So both you and I were wrong."Russell sighed inwardly, "Silly fool, you are Zoey, not Yasmine. Your marriage with that man was simply irrelevant!"But he couldn't say now, he still had to investigate the whole story."I won't be like that anymore. I'll wait for you to get divorced, and then pursue you, okay?"Yasmine bit her lip, unsure of how to answer the question.At this moment, a tall figure stood at the gap, and the man asked his companion, "We
"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
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.
The gift box was a two-meter tall rose red square, with a super beautiful bow tied on top, which instantly caught people's attention.The waiter pushed the cart in front of her and bowed respectfully, "Dear Ms. Keller, this gift is prepared for you by Mr. Russell. He said that the child's birthday is also your day of suffering, so while celebrating the child's birthday, he cannot forget the pain you have endured as a wife. He prepared this gift hoping that you will like it."Zoey was very curious about what the gift would be. But where did Russell go?Without giving her much thought, Madeleine nudged her with her elbow, "Quickly open it and take a look."Leanna also urged, "I am curious to see what Russell would give you."Zoey hadn't heard the three words 'Russell' for a while, wondering if Russell would have a gloomy expression when he heard them again.Under the gaze of the crowd, Zoey stepped forward and gently untied the ribbon.The waiter indicated that there was a button on the
Zoey looked at the direction the car was heading and realized it wasn't towards the Keller's manor. She asked Russell, "Aren't we going home?"Russell glanced in the rearview mirror, a deep smile playing at the corners of his lips. "I will take you to a mysterious place," he said.Layne's eyes widened as he knelt on his seat and looked back. Leanna's car was following behind. He turned around and asked, "Dad, did Evelin and the others also go?""Yes," Russell replied with a warm smile.Layne exclaimed, "I was so excited!"Zoey looked at Madeleine and said, "You knew all along?"Madeleine shrugged helplessly and said, "I can't deny that I knew, your man asked us to keep it a secret, he said he wanted to surprise you. Zoey, you can't blame me!""Us?" Zoey chuckled, "So I was the only one kept in the dark? You all knew? Even Leanna knew?"Madeleine nodded and then blinked her eyes, "Blame Russell if you must!"Zoey looked at the handsome profile of the man and said, "Just me, I didn't kn
Layne's emotional knot was finally resolved under Zoey's various explanations.Madeleine breathed a sigh of relief, as she felt that if Layne were to prevent Zoey and Russell from having a second child because of her words, she would be truly guilty.After all, both the Maddox family and the Keller family were looking forward to the birth of their second child!Of course, Zoey and Russell were also looking forward to having another child because Russell had not been there to accompany Zoey during her pregnancy and delivery, which was a regret. Therefore, both of them wanted to make up for this regret.And she almost became the terminator of their second child.Even if Zoey wasn't angry, Russell would definitely be so angry that he would want to slap her.Three people accompanied the adorable Layne to play at the playground. In the middle, Leanna arrived with Evelin.Because of Layne's gift, Evelin also had one, so when Evelin saw the gift, she happily jumped and danced.The little gir
Madeleine glanced sideways and saw a tall woman, wearing a mask and sunglasses, making a sound. There was also a girl carrying a bag beside her.Even if you couldn't recognize her from her appearance, you could still tell it was Madeleine from her voice.The person was Tiffany, and her assistant Rubi was next to her.It really is a narrow road for enemies.If it were someone else, maybe she would have let it go, but as soon as she saw that it was Tiffany, her competitive spirit instantly exploded."First come, last arrive."Tiffany recognized that it was Madeleine and immediately changed her demeanor, becoming particularly obedient. "So it's Madeleine, huh? Well, then I must give this necklace to you.""Let?" Madeleine despised bitchy women the most. "This is not yours, how can there be a 'let'?"Tiffany's assistant, Rubi, always acted like a bully. "Madeleine seemed to be in a bad mood today, her tone was a bit hurtful!"Madeleine scoffed, "She has problems doing things on her own, a
Carolyn and Carsen finally got together, and all that was left was their wedding.This made Zoey and Russell breathe a sigh of relief.If either of these two people was not well, their hearts could not calm down.Zoey nestled in Russell's arms and murmured, "Why is it that other people's happiness seems so effortless, while it feels so difficult for us and those around us?"Russell caressed her slender fingers and said, "Because the environment we were in was complex, with more interests and power struggles, it was impossible to guard against. If we were just ordinary people, we wouldn't have so many worries."Zoey looked up at him and said, "If you were an ordinary person, I guess there would be rich women wanting to sponsor you. A wealthy woman would just throw out a card, one hundred thousand per month, for the first two years!"Russell laughed out, "So, do you agree?"Zoey thought for a moment, "One hundred thousand a month, one million two hundred thousand a year, two million fou
The car stopped in front of City Hall.After Carsen got off the car, he walked around the front and opened the passenger door. He extended his hand like a gentleman and said, "Miss, who is beautiful, lovely, and intelligent, please get off the car and accompany me to sign in."Carolyn completed the crescent moon with her eyes, "What if I didn't get off the car?""Then I'll carry you in," Carsen said, his lips curved into a handsome arc, with a rogue-like demeanor.Carolyn crossed her arms and exclaimed, "Oh my, I was so scared! Someone tried to rob me in broad daylight! Help, someone!"Carsen leaned against the car door and the door frame, and said, "Carolyn, want to play cosplay?"Carolyn was taken aback at first, then her cheeks turned red. "You're being unserious again! If others knew that you're not actually as cold and restrained as you appear, they would definitely be shocked!"Carsen chuckled, "No one will ever know, only you know, I'm only serious with you."Carolyn pursed her
Carolyn looked around, but she didn't see anyone else, only that voice which she recognized as Layne's.She whispered, "If I don't accept your proposal, will Layne jump out in a hurry?"Carsen looked up at her and said, "So, why don't you give it a try?"Carolyn smirked and said, "I was worried about damaging your reputation. Carsen, you're so annoying, you just knew I would agree, right?"Carsen looked at her and said, "I really didn't think about it that much, you can disagree if you want. Then I will try my best to pursue you until you agree."Carolyn hummed, "You're lying, you knew I would agree."Carsen's thin lips curled up, "So, should I take that as your agreement?""Who proposes without a ring, only flowers?" Carolyn said, pursing her lips.Carsen chuckled, "I'm sorry, I was too nervous and forgot about this part."He quickly took out a small blue velvet box from his suit pocket. After opening it, there was a blue pigeon egg inside, crystal clear and shining like Carolyn in t
Carsen never thought that a girl would like him, let alone for nearly ten years!That youthful period was the most beautiful stage of Carolyn's life, occupying almost half of her life.What did Carsen do?He was really a fool, jealous of himself.He chuckled, but then burst into tears.His Carolyn!Even though he didn't know before that she had a crush on him, when she started appearing in front of him frequently, becoming his student, and occasionally bringing him meals, how did he not notice her feelings of love for him?Why was he so slow?Why did he make his little girl wait for so many years?Upon careful recollection, it seems that everyone knew about this matter, so why was he the last one to find out?After he confessed his feelings to her, Carolyn said she wanted to take some time to think about it, but she actually didn't do so and quickly accepted him.He was worried that Carolyn still liked the scumbag, so he quickly got involved with her.How could he be so shameless?Wit
Carolyn hasn't been getting enough rest lately. After taking the medication developed by Zoey, she felt very comfortable and quickly fell asleep.Carsen walked into the bedroom with a bowl of tonic soup and saw the little girl sleeping soundly.He walked over gently, placed the tonic soup on the bedside table, and sat on the edge of the bed, watching her.This silly girl, because she was afraid of burdening him, chose to run away.How could she be so foolish to get married to another man and cut ties with him?He reached out to touch her little face, which used to be chubby but now looked thin. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken, "Silly little fool."At that moment, a message alert sound came from his pants pocket.He took it out and found that it was sent by Angelo.I was the one who suggested getting married, of course, I didn't really want to, I just wanted to test your attitude towards Carolyn. You are genuinely in love with her, case closed. But do you know who the scumbag in
