Russell looked at the woman in his arms in astonishment, his eyes moist and his nostrils trembling slightly."Zoey?" he exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief, as he called out the name."Yeah!" Tears welled up in Zoey's misty eyes, "Am I not your Zoey anymore? Who else could I be? Is it because I look too ugly now, and you can't recognize me? Should I go wash my face?"Russell held the person tightly in his arms, his voice trembling, "How could I not recognize you? When I heard your voice on Kurse Bridge, when I jumped down and held you, I knew it was you! No matter what you look like, I can recognize you! I was afraid you would think you were a substitute, that's why I called you Yasmine.""I was not Yasmine, I was your Zoey! My whole life was yours!""Zoey, Zoey..."Russell called her name over and over again, and Zoey felt the hot tears sliding down her neck into her collar."You came back, you finally came back."Zoey couldn't help but feel sorry for Russell when she thought
Zoey turned around and instinctively crossed her arms in front of her.Russell walked slowly towards her, his voice hoarse and his Adam's apple bobbing, "Zoey."The splashes of water from the shower fell on her dark hair, splattering and shattering on her long, feather-like eyelashes.She trembled her eyelashes and asked, "Mom, are you still feeling okay emotionally?"Russell stepped forward, bowed his head and touched his forehead against hers, his nose lightly brushing against hers. "Are you sure you want to talk about something else at this moment?"Zoey wrapped her hands around the man's neck and pressed downwards, while also lifting her toes, and kissed his thin lips.Their breaths were inseparable, with the man's hands supporting her hips as they leaned against the tiles.The anticipated icy touch did not arrive, as the man's hand rested on Zoey's beautiful back.The woman's fair and slender legs wrapped around the man's strong waist, filling the entire bathroom with unabashed a
Russell turned Zoey around and the two of them locked eyes. He said earnestly, "I believed. I believed every word you said."Zoey gazed into the man's deep eyes and gently caressed his cheek, "If, I mean if I had something with him, would you think I'm impure?"Russell held the woman's hand and pressed it against his chest. "It will never happen. Zoey, no matter how you change or what you go through, in my heart, you will always be my girl, so pure, kind, and beautiful."Zoey pursed her lips and smiled, "So even if I had an extremely ugly face, you would still be able to kiss me, right?""Yes! It's not about being desperate for food, but it's deep love. Zoey, no one can replace you in my heart."Zoey leaned her face against the man's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling particularly reassured.She told Russell about the years she had lived in Corbourne.Russell felt extremely sorry for Zoey after hearing what had happened. Derrick had forcefully kept her by his side by br
Russell drove out of the ornate gate with Zoey and Layne in the car.Cheese sat at the entrance of the villa, tilting its head and staring blankly, as if waiting for the little owner to come back and play with it.It wasn't until the gate closed and the car's tail disappeared that it realized the little master wasn't coming back.It barked loudly and ran forward.Brent chased after him, "Cheese! Come back!"Cheese turned around and whimpered a few times in distress.Brent stepped forward and picked up Cheese. "Don't worry, maybe we won't need it tonight, your owner might be back in the afternoon."Cheese barked three times You're right!The black Maybach arrived at the hospital.Before getting off the car, Zoey put a mask on Layne.Layne blinked his eyes and said, "Mom, when can we walk on the streets openly without wearing masks?"Zoey curved her lips and said, "It's almost here."Russell helped Zoey put on a mask and then put one on himself, "It won't be long."The three of them got
The car stopped in front of the Keller's manor.Because they didn't say hello in advance, the arrival of the family of three caught the Keller family off guard.Russell, Zoey, and Layne sat on a couch together.Davis, Tabitha, Jaelyn, and Madeleine sat on the other side of the couch.Landyn and Royce were at the company, Brodie was at the hospital for consultation, and Carsen was in the school laboratory.So now it was a state of three to four.Layne sat in the middle, and he took out his prepared bag somewhat awkwardly, jumped off the couch, and walked towards the four people on the opposite side.Starting from Davis, he walked past each person one by one, but not a single person gave him a gift.He had a flat beak, blinked his big eyes, and turned around to run back into Russell's arms.He whispered, "Dad, why didn't they give me a gift?"Russell laughed and said, "Go call Grandpa, Grandma, Grandma, and Aunt Madeleine."Layne turned around and glanced at them, feeling a bit timid, b
In the shocked gaze of the crowd, Zoey approached.She curved her lips, her eyes moistened, raised her hand and greeted everyone, "Haven't seen you all in four years, I bet you all missed me, didn't you?"Madeleine slowly stood up and she opened her mouth, then looked at Russell, "How did you do this? Zoey looks exactly the same, sounds the same, even the gestures and movements are the same."Layne ran to Zoey's side and held her hand with his small hand, "Because she is Zoey!"Russell walked up to Zoey and lifted Layne off the ground, while embracing the woman's shoulders. "Zoey didn't pass away, she has returned!"Madeleine walked incredulously towards Zoey, wanting to confirm if the woman in front of her was a decoy, using Russell's deep longing for Zoey to get close to him, after all, this kind of thing had happened more than once.But every time, Russell never gave the other person a chance to get close, but this time was different, he actually brought someone for them to see.Th
After Zoey finished speaking, while everyone hated Gilberto, they also appreciated his mercy.After all, if a real explosive chip had been implanted in Zoey's heart, the consequences would have been truly devastating.They were also very moved, as Gilberto finally learned to let go and make way, allowing Zoey to find her way back home.Although it started with him, it was also because of him that it could be successfully completed in the end.Landyn looked at Russell and Zoey, "How do you plan to deal with Derrick? I don't think he will give up easily."Russell's thin lips curved dangerously, "Derrick hid Zoey and Layne for four years, causing all of us to endure pain that we shouldn't have had to bear. I must settle this score! However, he saved Zoey, so I will spare his life. But if he ever does anything outrageous again, I, Russell, will never tolerate him!"Royce raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Russell, it seems that the first step, we could join forces."Russell's lips curved slightly, "
Zoey knew that Russell was jealous, and she pursed her lips. "I was just joking.""Joking? Didn't you just say I misheard? Zoey, don't look at others, only look at me, you can see me however you want," Russell gazed deeply into her eyes, "I'm fine with whatever you want."The man's voice was particularly enticing, as his thin lips gently kissed hers, his gaze burning with desire.Although I didn't do anything, it seemed like I did everything.The image of last night's entanglement between the two of them uncontrollably flashed in Zoey's mind, causing her face to suddenly turn crimson.Russell's thin lips lingered on her ear, half grazing her earlobe, murmuring, "No need to reminisce, I'm right here. You can use me if you want, no need to feel embarrassed."Zoey was seen through her thoughts and angrily withdrew her hand, "You're not allowed to speak! I want to see my room!"Russell did not stop her and stood straight, moving aside.Zoey took a few steps and looked around, everything w
The crowd surrounded Madeleine and Kristian, all of them waiting for an answer.Madeleine's voice was gentle as she said, "Kristian and I were indeed in a relationship, and it wasn't for the sake of creating a buzz for a new drama. Many people may not know this, but I had a crush on Kristian for many years, and it was because of him that I entered the entertainment industry."Kristian didn't expect what she said next, and he instantly froze in shock.In order to prove that they were genuine, they were able to fabricate such lies.Although, however, he was still quite happy.However, he was a man and couldn't let the woman be the one to take the initiative, especially when she was the one he liked.He smiled and said, "Actually, there is a secret that nobody knows, including Madeleine. I had liked her for many years. I had liked her since the moment I first saw her."Someone asked, "When was that?"Kristian answered very directly, without the need for any rehearsal, "My crush started d
As the night fell, neon lights flickered outside the hotel window.Kristian looked at the woman in his arms under the warm light, feeling not only physically satisfied but also emotionally fulfilled.He kissed her smooth forehead and felt that it was not enough, so he kissed her lips.Madeleine was already tired, and now her peaceful sleep was disturbed. She turned her head irritably.But the man continued to pester her relentlessly.Madeleine suddenly opened her eyes and raised her hand to block the man's lips.She glanced at him for a full minute.In the end, Kristian couldn't help but remove the woman's delicate hand and asked, "What, are you surprised to see me?"Madeleine said, "I was not surprised."Kristian looked at her glistening red lips and said, "Both times we were together, you were intoxicated. Would you like to experience it while sober?"Madeleine chuckled, "You think I had a good experience?"Kristian squinted his eyes, "Isn't it? Who was it that held onto my neck and
The man's deep voice sounded outside the door.Ariana quickly ran over to open the door and saw Kristian standing there with damp hair."How much did she drink?"Kristian walked in, speaking as he strode with long legs.Ariana quickly stepped aside and closed the door, "Drank seven or eight glasses of red wine."Kristian hesitated for a moment, turned around and said, "She couldn't handle alcohol, why didn't you stop her?"Ariana looked helpless, "Once Madeleine's temper and drunkenness kicked in, I couldn't stop her no matter how hard I tried!"Kristian sighed lightly and turned to look at the woman lying in bed, her face flushed. At that moment, she was pulling at the collar of her knitted sweater.The knitted sweater was already prone to deformation, and with a pull like that, the flesh-colored lace edges were exposed.Kristian sat by the edge of the bed, holding her restless hand, "Don't move."The tone sounds somewhat reproachful, but it is mixed with concern.Madeleine furrowed
Karter shook his head upon hearing the words, "Taking advantage of someone's vulnerability? I cannot do that."Carl was always worried for him. "She is Madeleine, from the Keller family! If you become a son-in-law of the Keller family, what kind of future wouldn't you have?""It is precisely because she is part of the Keller family that I cannot do this," Karter squinted his eyes. "Madeleine doesn't like me now, she is completely focused on Kristian. If I do this, it will only make her dislike and resent me, pushing her further away. I have finally managed to gain her favor, I cannot risk losing it over something trivial."He whispered, "Will that rider betray you?"Carl replied, "Don't worry, no matter how much they investigate, they won't find anything on me."Karter said, "That's good. I appreciate this."Carl patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, if it weren't for you saving me that year, I would have been killed by those gamblers long ago."Karter chuckled, "Let's not mention t
Karter's smile was very provocative, and he looked towards Madeleine's direction. "Look, Madeleine is watching us. If you keep holding onto me like this, she should come over."Kristian looked at the furrowed brow of Madeleine and pursed his thin lips.He let go of Karter, "If I find out that the rider you hired, I will definitely not let you off the hook!"Karter tidied up the crumpled collar of the shirt written by Kristian, a disdainful smile playing at the corner of his lips, "You can investigate as you please."After speaking, he put away his smile and walked towards Madeleine.Kristian looked at Madeleine and asked Karter what, then glanced at him, seemingly confirming that he was once again troubling Karter.Karter shook his head and chuckled, displaying a generous demeanor, which made Kristian appear quite lacking in grace.At that moment, Ariana came out of the guest room and the three of them left together.Kristian watched as the three people entered the elevator, then turn
Karter repeatedly insisted on not going to the hospital, so Ariana went to the pharmacy and bought disinfectant and anti-inflammatory medicine. They both returned to the hotel together.Karter came with Madeleine, so they stayed in the same hotel but on different floors.The three of them came to Madeleine's room together, and Madeleine applied ointment to Karter."Kristian, that man is really ruthless. Even though you had nothing to do with it, he still insisted on smearing you. Look at how he beat you, your mouth even got a cut."Karter furrowed his brows slightly, "I appeared too coincidentally, so he suspected me, but I don't blame him."Madeleine threw the cotton swab into the trash can and looked at the man, saying earnestly, "Thank you so much just now."Karter chuckled, "If you thank me, would you treat me to lunch?""No problem," Madeleine also smiled.At this moment, Ariana looked anxious and said, "Madeleine, this matter trended on social media today!"Madeleine had already
Madeleine's question made Ariana's heart skip a beat, and she chuckled, "I don't feel anything. Even though we are heavily armed, it is still possible for someone to recognize us."Madeleine thought it made sense, "You're right, let's hurry up and buy things. If we get recognized, we won't be able to leave for a while."Ariana nodded, it would be dangerous if she encountered another crazy person like Callie or if a hater caused harm to Madeleine.Although she knew that Kristian and Bryan had been following them, it still couldn't guarantee their safety.Madeleine bought a lot of things, some of which cost quite a bit, which made her feel very accomplished.She and Ariana walked along the old street towards the exit, carrying bags and packages, getting ready to go back to the hotel, after all, it was inevitable to be recognized if they ate here.Suddenly, the sound of a motorcycle came roaring.The bustling crowd screamed in panic and scattered.Madeleine reacted quickly, and Ariana, w
Makenzie had something come up, so she didn't go with Madeleine. Instead, Madeleine was accompanied by her assistant Ariana.After Madeleine boarded the plane, she asked the flight attendant for a blanket and then put on an eye mask to prepare for sleep.Woodmerrow is a seven-hour flight away from Splin Town. The plane arrived at 1 am, and it would take another half an hour to collect the luggage and go to the hotel.Because Madeleine was in a hurry and there were no good flights, she had to settle for this time.Fortunately, the first-class cabin was very quiet, and combined with the heavy worries she had been carrying these days, she fell asleep before the plane even took off.Ariana has been with Madeleine for two years since the previous assistant resigned due to pregnancy. She still knows Madeleine's temper and preferences quite well.She knew that Madeleine must have been in a very bad mood, which is why she chose this time to leave Woodmerrow.She watched as Madeleine's blanket
Madeleine came to her senses and, in the dim and unclear light, looked at the handsome face of the man, her eyelashes trembling.She pushed the person away, very angrily saying, "Why do you think you can take advantage of me?"Kristian glanced at the people in front of him and said, "Do you want everyone to know that we are here? And then expose that we were just kissing?"Madeleine was grateful that there was no one else around. She wiped her mouth forcefully and then tried to get up and leave.She could not leave, as her wrist was held tightly by a man.Kristian pulled the person into his arms, restraining her from moving."Eating, watching a movie, what's next? Will we do some of the things that you and I just did with Karter?"Madeleine listened to the cheerful laughter in the theater, but her heart was stung by the man's words, leaving a bitter taste.He always had the ability to make her unhappy!Madeleine exclaimed indignantly, "I don't need to report to you about who I dated!"
