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
Layne loved sweets very much. Zoey used to make him cookies twice a week and a cake once.After all, sweets are not very healthy, so Zoey still controlled the amount of sugar in desserts.Layne handed Zoey a small rabbit-shaped matcha-flavored treat and said, "Mom, this is really delicious."Zoey raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't think that just because you bribed me, I will let you have more to eat."Layne pouted, "Oh no, my little scheme has been discovered by my dear mother again. Mom, you look so beautiful!""This move was not effective either.""It is said that flattery is useless no matter how much you try, but when it comes to you, nothing seems to work."Madeleine burst into laughter after hearing that, "You little rascal, you say anything and everything.""Auntie, you looked so beautiful!" Layne turned his head and immediately started complimenting Madeleine.Madeleine shrugged, "You should listen to your mom, she was always looking out for your best interests."Layne sighed
This was the Keller family's first reunion dinner, and when dinner was over, everyone at the table cried.Layne didn't know why everyone was crying, but his emotions were infected and he started crying too.The atmosphere appeared very sad, but the mood was joyful.Layne pouted and said, "Why is everyone crying?""Because I was so happy," Tabitha explained.Layne was a bit confused, but as he grew up, he understood that this emotion was called the fulfillment of regaining what was lost.The family was harmonious, with Zoey and Carsen standing by the French window, each holding a cup of coffee, sipping slowly.She recounted the events of the past few years, and only then did Carsen learn the truth that the chip did not explode.He was full of remorse at that time because he had failed to decipher the code, and he couldn't get over it for a long time.Now Zoey stood in front of him, and he finally felt relieved.At that moment, his phone rang.I looked and saw Carolyn.Zoey glanced at t
The Keller family, it was late at night.Russell, Royce, Brodie, and Carsen sat around in the restaurant, eating skewers and drinking beer.Royce was a little drunk. "Zoey, stay with mom tonight. You will be lonely and cold tonight."Russell chuckled, "Well, that's still better than someone being lonely and miserable all the time."Royce snorted lightly, "You, with your sharp tongue, were better off being crazy all along."Russell looked at the foam in his glass and sighed, "These four years were the darkest years of my life. If it weren't for Zoey's last wish, I would have definitely gone to be with her."Royce grabbed his shoulder and said, "It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise when Zoey came back, she would have found you had sacrificed yourself. How would you expect her to go on living?"Brodie rarely drank alcohol, as it was frowned upon in his profession as a doctor. However, today he was so happy that he made an exception.He drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, "Yes, f
That night, Russell had some insomnia and didn't fall asleep until after three in the morning.When I opened my eyes again, there was a little one beside me.Layne smiled and squinted his eyes, "Good morning, Dad."Russell embraced him and said, "Good morning, Layne. What time is it now?""It's already 8 o'clock. The sun has already been shining its butt, you lazy bug. Get up quickly!"Russell rubbed the little one's face and neck with his chin, "Who's the big lazy bug? Huh?"The little one felt itchy and prickly, "Hahaha, Dad was a big lazybones!"Russell smiled and kissed his little face, "Have you had breakfast?"Layne blinked, "Dad actually wanted to ask if Mom had eaten, right?"Russell found that this little guy was very cunning. "No, I'm asking you," he said."I don't believe it!" Layne said. "Last night, Mom went out for a while before coming back. Did she go to find you?""Did you wake up?""No, I just smelled dad's scent on mom."Russell chuckled, "Puppy nose! Mom came to se
Nancy trembled with her eyelashes, feeling the scorching breath of the man.Her hands trembled as she tightly grasped the man's shirt, a piercing pain shot through her, and she felt like her whole being was about to be torn apart."Ouch!"The painful sound of a woman came, and Dalton also felt that barrier.So that night, nothing happened between them, and now it is the woman's first time.Dalton looked at the tears in the corner of Nancy's eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, "Be good, I'll be gentle."He was clear-headed and knew that they were just a business alliance, perhaps one day they would get divorced, and he should stop.But at that moment, he simply didn't want to stop, and this feeling was very peculiar.He was a medical student and had performed many dissections and surgeries. The human body held no fascination for him.Even the most beautiful bodies were just organs to him in the past.Before, he was attr
The air froze at that moment.Nancy looked at this scene in shock, Dalton's face covered in cream.Luckily, when Nyasia was cutting the cake, the candles and the cake stand fell to the ground, otherwise Dalton would have definitely gotten hurt.Nyasia was not from a wealthy family, so how could she afford to compensate Dalton?Nancy pulled Nyasia behind her and said, "Sorry, Dalton, Nyasia didn't mean to. Don't be angry."Nyasia rolled up her sleeves and said, "Scumbag men and cheap women should be taught a lesson!"Nancy looked at Mario and said, "Mario, you take Nyasia and go first."Mario watched as Dalton raised his hand to wipe the cream smeared on his face, knowing that not taking Nyasia away would only make things worse.He grabbed the person around the waist and carried them into the elevator. Before the elevator doors closed, he saw Nancy going to wipe Dalton's face.Nancy was pushed away by Amiya. "Dalton, are
Dalton?Nancy hesitated for a moment, looked inside, and saw Dalton sitting on the couch, lazily leaning against the backrest, drinking a glass of wine by himself.She was afraid that the people inside would see her, so she immediately hid to the side of the door.Dalton's voice came, neither loud nor soft, with a casual tone, "The wedding at home is being prepared."Elliott Moody approached him and said, "Amiya is not leaving this time, she's staying in the country. She's now a famous wedding dress designer! She left in the first place for her dreams, so why do you think she's back now? Surely it's for you! Don't you want her anymore?"Nancy spoke softly, her body stiffened, and her fingers also closed together.She waited for the man's answer, but the man remained silent.Footsteps were heard, and she immediately turned and left.Standing on the terrace, facing the cool breeze, Nancy, who was dressed lightly, felt even colder
At the toast session, Carsen accompanied Carolyn, who had changed into an evening gown, to go table by table to propose toasts.Carsen drank red wine, while Carolyn drank juice.Zoey raised an eyebrow at Russell and said, "Carolyn has arrived, are you ready?"Russell had long noticed that Carolyn was eager to come to this table to propose a toast. He chuckled lightly, "Of course."In no time, Carsen and Carolyn came over. They first toasted the elders and then started toasting in order of seniority.First, it was Royce and Mya, Brodie and Joselyn, Madeleine and Kristian, and then it was Zoey and Russell.Carsen looked at Russell and said, "Russell, thank you for taking care of Carolyn all these years. Come, Carolyn, let's have a drink with Russell."Zoey smiled and said, "Wishing Uncle Carsen and Aunt Carolyn a hundred years of happiness!"Russell nodded and raised his glass, "Cheers to Uncle Carsen and Aunt Carolyn's happy mar
Carsen and Carolyn's wedding took place the next day, and the whole Woodmerrow knew that the Maddox family and the Keller family were getting married again.Everyone who was anyone in Lochcliff was invited, including the big shots in the medical field. Some people joked that this wedding was starting to resemble a medical conference.However, this time everyone was not very concerned about the grandeur of the wedding, but rather particularly concerned about the issue of the names used between Russell, Zoey, Carsen, and Carolyn.After all, it was a wedding, so there wasn't that much tension in the air, and that's when this kind of sound started to appear among the guests.Zoey nudged Russell's arm with her elbow, "What should we do? You're going to call Carolyn 'Sister-in-law' in a little while, are you nervous?"Russell's lips curved slightly, "I dared to ask, would she dare to agree?"Zoey stifled a laugh, "This is hard to say, Carolyn has
Viviana's surgery was very successful, and the little girl was finally going to recover after undergoing two major surgeries.After waking up from the surgery, her first question was, "Where is my father? Is he okay?"The man who had been hiding behind Mya suddenly couldn't hold back his tears, as he had wanted to surprise Viviana.Royce walked out, holding a bouquet of red roses. The man in his thirties had tears streaming down his face as he choked out, "I'm here, Dad is doing well."Viviana revealed a row of sparkling white little teeth, "Daddy, even when he cries, he still looks so handsome!"Royce squatted in front of the hospital bed, holding the little girl's small and soft hand, and couldn't help but laugh and cry, "So, Daddy has gotten old, huh?"Viviana laughed and said, "Dad used to be a handsome guy when he was younger."Royce smiled and said, "Thank you for your fair assessment of me."Viviana laughed and said, "Da
Royce's ward was unattended, and the cleaner stood at the small window, looking inside. She saw a man sleeping soundly, and she gently pushed open the door to the ward.She tiptoed to the bedside and took out a handkerchief from her jacket pocket, quickly covering the man's mouth and nose.She didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so she immediately went to the cleaning room and brought the wheelchair.With great effort, she helped Royce onto the wheelchair and placed a duckbill hat on his head before leaving.After a series of twists and turns, she took the person out of the hospital and moved them onto a black car, driving away.She couldn't contain her excitement, it was just too smooth, it seemed like the heavens were helping her.After passing a red light, she stopped and turned around to look back, only to find Royce fast asleep.She wanted to wait until she arrived at the place, and she was determined to win him over and make him
After Royce got on the car with Mya, clusters of fireworks bloomed in the sky.He opened the skylight, and Mya looked up. The fireworks were colorful and accompanied her all the way.Fireworks bloomed all the way from the villa to City Hall, a distance of twenty-five kilometers.The whole city was immersed in love, and pedestrians on the street couldn't help but admire.I don't know whose girlfriend, fiancée, or wife is so lucky to receive such love and pampering.Mya covered her mouth, afraid that her crying might ruin the beauty of the fireworks.The car stopped in front of City Hall, and Royce unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to embrace the person.Mya sobbed, "Royce.""I was there, I have always been there.""Thank you.""Silly little fool, don't say thank you to me anymore."Mya shook her head and withdrew from the man's embrace, saying earnestly, "I want to say thank you, thank you for al
Viviana Keller?The little girl smiled, her eyes curved, "Viviana Keller sounds better than Viviana Hayes! I like it!"Royce lifted her up, slightly crouched, and matched Mya's height, with both of them sandwiching Viviana in between, each kissing her cheeks.Viviana laughed happily, her little hands wrapped around the necks of the two people, and she shouted loudly, "I had a dad! I had a name! I was the happiest child in the world!"Mya shed tears, Viviana went through so many hardships, but she could still smile at life.The happiness that children wanted was very simple. It could be an inexpensive toy, a lollipop, and the love of their parents.Not far away, Zoey looked up, trying to hold back her tears.Russell grabbed her waist and asked in a low voice, "Were you moved?""No." Zoey didn't want to be laughed at by the man, so she immediately denied it.Russell nodded and said, "I understood.""What do you unde
