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.
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
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.
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."
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
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
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
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
"What's going on with you, with all of you?" Leanna exclaimed in surprise.Russell encountered Yasmine and Layne, and then Yasmine briefly recounted the incident of her treating him."How did you guys meet?"Leanna recounted the incident of running into Yasmine at the airport and supermarket, saying, "What a small world it is, our new acquaintances turned out to be the same person!"Russell felt that it was fate that allowed Zoey to find her way home.The truth was gradually revealed, becoming clearer bit by bit.He believed that Zoey would remember.Leanna thought for a moment, "So, earlier I saw news about you having a son online, and that child is Layne, right?"Russell nodded lightly.Leanna frowned, "Russell, I know Layne looks a lot like Zoey, but you shouldn't have mistaken Layne for your own child.""I knew."Leanna pursed her lips and asked, "Yasmine's voice sounds a lot like Zoey's, so have you ever seen what she really looks like?""Um.""Does she look like Zoey?" Leanna as
Nancy concealed the strange look in her eyes and made an excuse to get up and leave for the restroom.Dalton did not notice anything unusual, and he started chatting with Nancy.The little girl was very talkative, "Uncle, you and my dad looked a bit alike! Especially in the eyes."Dalton clicked his tongue and said, "Wasn't I more handsome than your dad?"Nancy chuckled, "You all are handsome, but in my eyes, Dad was the most handsome. In Nancy's eyes, you were the most handsome."Dalton chuckled, "You really know how to not offend anyone, you little trickster!"Nacy had a big smile on her face and said, "I was telling the truth, you know!"Over here, Nancy washed her face in the bathroom.Looking at herself in the mirror, with red eyes, she was on the verge of losing control in front of everyone."Do you need any help?"The man's voice came from the doorway, and Nancy's hands curled up on the sink.She slo
Nancy clenched her fists upon hearing the words, she didn't expect to reunite with Craig, who had already gotten married and had children.Now she faced the other's wife and daughter, feeling heartbroken and bitter.Zoey held her hand and said, "It's something we had to face sooner or later. Isn't it the most important thing that you are certain he is still alive?""Yes, I should be content," Nancy wiped away her tears, "I will go downstairs and open the door for them."Zoey held her shoulder and said, "I'll go, it's fine. Nancy, I understand you, but I still hope that you can consider your situation with Dalton. You should make sure of Dalton's feelings before saying anything."Nancy nodded and said, "Okay, I will consider it."Zoey nodded and got up to open the door.A gentle smile, dressed in casual clothes, a woman was holding a little girl with a mushroom-shaped hairstyle standing there."Hello, I am Susie, Randall's wife.
Dalton comforted Nancy, "Otherwise, shall we go back first?""No!" Nancy felt that her reaction was too abnormal. She pursed her lips and said, "No need, I'm fine now, I was just a little scared earlier. Don't spoil Zoey and their excitement."Dalton wiped her tears with his hand and said, "Even pearls are falling, and you say it's nothing."Nancy nodded, "Russell was planning to collaborate with Mr. Murillo, right? Don't let my actions make everyone unhappy."Dalton scratched her petite, rosy nose and said, "It seems like she wasn't scared silly, and now she even knows how to weigh the pros and cons."Nancy nodded and then started to hiccup.She had a habit, which was that after crying a lot, she would start hiccuping.Dalton thought she was adorable, and he hugged her and gently patted her back, "Shall I pour you some water?""Okay."Dalton handed her a glass of water, and Nancy took a few sips before the hiccup finall
Dalton kissed her cheek, tracing along her fair neck to her straight shoulders, one hand caressing the soft flesh at her waist, while the other supported her fullness.Nancy held the man's hand and said, "Don't make a fuss, everyone has left, and it's just the two of us now."Dalton chuckled, "Shy? Everyone was married, and it was well known, what's there to be shy about?""No, we, we should still go out." Nancy's cheeks turned red, feeling quite embarrassed, after all, they still had to meet people later.Dalton turned the person around and his gaze fell on her flesh-colored lace cup, which was full and overflowing, very enticing.He bowed his head and Nancy placed both hands on the man's shoulders, "D-Dalton..."Dalton stood up and looked at her, licking his lips sensually."Come back and eat later in the evening."Nancy knew that the man had let her go, so she quickly turned around to change her clothes.Dalton watche
Murillo's Resort was developed by the Murillo Group and is a new type of resort that combines mountain climbing, hot springs, and entertainment.Russell chose to come here first to see the uniqueness of this resort and secondly to meet the elusive CEO, as the Murillo Group's growth is rapid and will soon become the top group in Lochcliff. There will be many future collaborations between the two companies.A group of people arrived at the resort, where the manager and the waitstaff had already been waiting."We went to pick up Mrs. Murillo and Ms. Murillo, and Mr. Murillo instructed me to serve everyone well. Please come inside."The waiters took their luggage and followed behind.The resort covered an area of 200,000 square meters and included accommodation area, hot spring area, dining area, and leisure area.There were only recreational differences, with a paradise-like area that had horse racing tracks, golf courses, go-kart racing tracks
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
