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
Yasmine knew that giving this man even a little smile would make him radiant!After giving him a disdainful look, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. While looking in the mirror, she noticed that her lips were slightly swollen and red.She frowned slightly, would Russell have kissed her while she was asleep?It seems that she had to be cautious of him.After washing up, she came out and saw that Layne had already woken up, and was affectionately hugging Russell's neck.The little one just said "dad" and then saw Yasmine, instantly closing his little mouth.He shrank in the man's arms, afraid to look at Yasmine, feeling very guilty.After all, yesterday he had already promised Yasmine that he would not shout "Dad" anymore.Yasmine walked up to the two of them and extended her hand, "Layne, I will take you to freshen up."Layne shook his head, "Layne wants uncle to carry him to pee, we are both boys."Yasmine was surprised that the little one actually emphasized gend
There is nothing wrong with this sentence, but the man's tone of speech was too ambiguous.Yasmine cleared her throat and said, "Speak properly."Russell stood up and walked towards her, "How did I not speak properly? It was clearly you who was thinking about unnecessary things.""I didn't want to! Go to your room!" Yasmine turned around and walked towards the door.Russell lightly clicked his tongue, "So impatient."Yasmine. “..."Yasmine entered Russell's room and opened the medicine cabinet. She took out cotton swabs and disinfectant solution, and began to disinfect the man."Um, ah..."Yasmine's face turned red suddenly, "Don't say a word!"Russell chuckled and said, "Well, but why are you blushing?""I didn't at all!" Yasmine threw the cotton swab into the trash can, tidied up the medicine box, and prepared to leave."I hadn't been given an injection yet!"Yasmine muttered, "So proactive in finding Zha!""How you treat me is fine with me," Russell's eyes were deep, "I don't resis
Yasmine entered the bathroom and only then realized that her hair was dry, indicating that Russell had blow-dried it.Russell was undoubtedly considerate, but it was all based on her being like Zoey.At first, it was because the voice was similar and the breath on her body was similar, but later, after seeing her true face, it felt even more similar.Like doesn't mean it is, she wasn't sure if she was Zoey, so she had to verify.She put on makeup and changed into a loose light gray casual suit and sneakers. Middle-aged and elderly women all like this kind of outfit.After leaving the villa, Russell was wiping the tomatoes for Layne. After taking them, Layne took a bite."Sour and sweet, it's so delicious!" Layne turned to look at Brent. "The vegetables you grew are really delicious, I want to eat them for a lifetime!"Russell laughed and said, "When your mother married me, you would be able to eat for a lifetime.""Okay," Layne squinted his eyes as if they were sour, "Oh my, are we go
Rivulet Villa has flat area, high-rise area, and villa area.The house that Yasmine used to rent before was an apartment building, but now they are going to a villa for wine tasting.A-12 standalone villa, Leanna's new home.When the car arrived, Leanna was accompanying Evelin in the yard, swinging on the swing.Evelin saw Layne get off the car and instantly jumped down from the swing, her short little legs landed unsteadily and she even knelt down.The little girl was tough, she didn't cry or act spoiled. She ran up to Layne and said, "You're here! Are your injuries better now?"Layne nodded, "I'm much better now, thank you for your concern."Evelin looked at the white bandage on his wrist and grabbed his other hand. "Let's go to my bedroom, I'll give you something nice.""What is it?""You would have known once you went up."The two little hands walked hand in hand into the villa.Leanna walked up to Russell and Yasmine, looking at Yasmine she said, "I never expected you to be a mir
Due to health reasons, Viviana could no longer attend kindergarten.She missed her kindergarten teachers and friends very much. Her biggest wish was to go to kindergarten.Mya kissed her little face and comforted, "After Viviana gets better, she can go to kindergarten."Viviana lay on her shoulder, feeling a bit frustrated. "What if Viviana doesn't get better? Then she won't be able to go to kindergarten anymore."Mya's tears instantly flowed down. "No, Viviana will definitely recover. I still have to take Viviana to the amusement park to ride the carousel, buy beautiful balloons, go on a nature expedition to catch butterflies and fly kites, go to Icemarble to see the colorful auroras, and travel around the world. Viviana will definitely be fine."Viviana suddenly sat up and looked at Mya. "Mom, my previous wish was to go to kindergarten, but my current wish has changed."Mya asked, "What did it become? Is it a candy house, perhaps?"
Royce came out of the shower and looked at the woman lying on the bed with her back turned to him, there was no warmth in his eyes."I was next door, you can come and find me if you need anything."After saying that, the man left.Upon hearing the sound of the door closing, Mya slowly opened her swollen eyes and clenched her fingers tightly around the edge of the blanket.Royce did not stay overnight, indicating that he was just using her as a means of venting.You see, he was really good at insulting people.Mya understood her identity from her previous attitude, but when it actually happened, she still felt heartbroken.She sniffed her nose and got up from the bed, then went into the bathroom.Royce had just taken a bath, and the bathroom was filled with warm steam.Mya turned the knob and warm water poured down from above, but her heart felt cold.After washing, she stood in front of the mirror and raised her h
Royce nodded slightly at the woman dressed in a cream-colored Chanel suit, "Hailie has returned."Hailie bent her almond-shaped eyes and said, "Grandpa kept his surgery a secret from me this time. Grandma, my parents, and even the household staff all kept it from me. It was only when one of the servants accidentally let it slip that I found out. He is my only beloved grandfather, so of course I had to come back."Jonathan coughed and said, "Hailie's thesis defense is coming up soon, it's simply ridiculous!"Hailie chuckled lightly, "Compared to defending my thesis, my grandfather's health is more important. Even if I can't graduate, I can still accept the fact that I won't be able to take over the family company, right?"Jonathan laughed, "This girl!"Royce asked, "So Hailie was prepared to join the group?"Jonathan nodded, "He has this plan, but he is planning to let her start from being a supervisor. How can one become successful overnight
Mya exerted all her strength and struck Paloma's face.The latter's face was knocked askew, and she looked incredulously at the furious woman, "Are you fucking crazy?"Mya grabbed the woman's neck and said, "Whether I go crazy or not completely depends on your mouth. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will give you a hard slap!"She shook off Paloma and turned back to her workstation.Paloma covered her face and dared not say anything anymore, and the others also dared not make a sound.However, Paloma is usually quite overbearing. Those people may show a sympathetic expression on the surface, but deep down they are all secretly delighted.Paloma gritted her teeth in anger, vowing to make Mya pay for her actions!Mya sat on the chair and, after calming her emotions, began to study the wedding plans.After work, she took a taxi back to her rented house and told Evelyn about Royce coming to see her.Evelyn was very worr
Mya stared at the man who was so close, her heart started pounding uncontrollably.She suddenly looked towards the direction of the conference room door, afraid that someone might come in abruptly."What, afraid of others knowing about our relationship, being improper!"Royce's words were humiliating her.Mya struggled, but the man's hands clamped around her slender waist like a pair of pincers, rendering her unable to break free from him."If you keep moving, I can't guarantee what will happen in a while."Mya clearly felt signs of the man's affection, and she didn't dare to move. "Someone will come in a while, and I don't want to be surrounded by gossip.""Dare to do but not to admit, how should I count that night when you seduced me?"Mya pursed her lips and said, "I had too much to drink and just wanted to find a random guy. I never expected it would be you."Royce pressed his tongue against his molars, "Just randoml
The company boss, Owen Shaffer, came to Mya's desk, his face filled with excitement. "Mya, Mr. Keller from the Keller Group specifically requested you to plan his wedding. Quickly freshen up your appearance and come with me to the conference room to meet him in the best possible condition."Mya had thought that Royce would find her, but she hadn't expected to see him again so soon.She nodded slightly, picked up her handbag, pen, and notebook, and stood up, "Okay, I'll go now."After saying that, she left her workstation and headed towards the restroom.Owen walked towards the conference room.The employees at the other workstations began to express their dissatisfaction, their words filled with sarcasm and hostility."She looked like a fox spirit, and within just ten days, she managed to seduce Mr. Keller. She's really something!""Estimate the skills in bed must be impressive, otherwise how could Mr. Keller grace our company?"
Royce had never had this kind of experience with a woman in the past six years.On regular days, with a busy work schedule and the added task of searching for Mya, the desire was extremely faint.Even if there was a need, it was just a result of drinking too much and missing Mya, so I would take a cold shower to solve it myself.As for last night, having a relationship was unprecedented.At that moment, the sound of water came from the bathroom, followed by the sound of the door opening.He looked over suddenly, and his heart started pounding uncontrollably.A slender white leg of a woman stepped out, and then the whole person came into his sight.Royce's pupils contracted, and his heart stopped abruptly.When he saw that leg, even though it was only for a second, some thoughts had already formed in his mind.If Mya had just given in and apologized, he would have made up with her and forgiven her for what happened back t
Royce was wearing a white shirt with three buttons on the collar undone, revealing a section of his fair collarbone.He held a tall glass in one hand and rested the other on the armrest of the sofa, looking elegant and sophisticated.He glanced lightly at the woman approaching him, picked up a tall glass and took a sip of red wine, his voice cold and merciless, "Stay away from me."The woman thought that the man was indulging in desire, but she still approached him.Royce's cold eyes swept past, his voice low and deep, "Get lost!"The lights in the private room were dim, but the woman still managed to see the man's cold expression. She immediately got up and left.After all, she didn't want to be thrown out just because a man was unhappy.No woman approached Royce anymore, and he drank alone, drowning his sorrows.My friend Gavin Collier came over and filled his cup. "Did you find Mya?"Royce pressed his tongue against h
Joselyn's eyes were moist, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke."What was going to happen in a while?"Although she had drunk too much, her mind became somewhat clear after the teasing just now.Although she had a lot of intimate contact with Brodie, this kind of intimacy had never happened before.The feeling was like stepping on a cloud, as if a firework exploded in my mind.Brodie looked at her bewildered expression, with her Adam's apple moving up and down."Joselyn..."Although Joselyn had never experienced it, she understood everything.She bit her lower lip and lowered her gaze shyly.Brodie held her chin and looked at her, "Did you accept?"Joselyn's eyelashes trembled, "Accepted," she said.Brodie's eyes darkened completely, and he kissed the girl's lips, causing the enclosed space in the carriage to emit the sound of water droplets.The car stopped in the underground garage of Kerr
