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
The Maddox's manor.Alonso frowned as he looked at the clothes in the wardrobe.Marlene, seeing the situation, asked, "What are you doing?""What should I wear when choosing clothes?"Marlene sighed, "Yasmine didn't come to see you, she came just to inform us that they are getting married!""What I mean is, my clothes make me look so young, almost the same age as her when I wear them. Is it not good like this?"Marlene covered her heart and said, "Let's not bring up the matter of age, my heart really can't handle it!"Alonso sighed and put his arm around his old companion's shoulder. "Well, I would rather Russell marry someone older, than see him live the rest of his life like a madman. The living suffer more than the departed."Marlene sniffed and tears started to fall. "I miss Zoey so much. Why did fate have to be so unfair and take her and her child away?""Face the reality! Zoey and the children are not coming back."Marlene wiped her tears and said, "Anyway, in my heart, Zoey is
Zoey looked at the hostility in Carolyn's eyes, listened to her sharp words, and couldn't help but stifle a laugh.Carolyn felt that her laughter was a mockery of herself, and she angrily said, "Do you think what I said is funny? Do you think you can tie down Uncle Russell with a child and keep him bound for a lifetime? He may have lost his sanity, but we haven't! You can't use a child to manipulate Uncle Russell! My Aunt Zoey is unique, and that's Zoey! And you don't even consider your own age, yet you want to compare yourself to my Aunt Zoey! You don't deserve it!"Aubrie furrowed her brow and scolded, "Carolyn, shut up!"Marlene also almost had a heart attack, she looked at Carolyn and said, "Carolyn, only Yasmine can cure your uncle Russell! Even Roderick is helpless! Don't meddle in it!"Carolyn had red eyes and her voice choked as she said, "Last night, my mom called me and asked me to accept Uncle Russell marrying this old lady. I am unwilling! It's obvious that she has ulterio
Study room.Braylen observed Russell with a serious expression on his face.Russell lounged lazily on the couch, arching an eyebrow playfully. "Brodie, why are you staring at me like that?"Braylen pursed his lips and asked, "Russell, have you really recovered?""Of course."Braylen leaned against the long table, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, shook out one, and lit it. "Do you smoke?"Russell shrugged, "I didn't want Layne to inhale secondhand smoke."Upon hearing the words, Braylen paused for a moment and then pressed the just lit cigarette butt into the ashtray."The child indeed looked a lot like Zoey, but I didn't want you to become a pawn in someone else's game.""Of course not."Braylen nodded slightly and said, "I had always intended to return the position of President of the Maddox Group to you after your recovery, and now it is time for me to hand it over to you. As for the choices and decisions you make in the future, I will have no doubts."Russell chuckled as h
Tiffany came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and saw a man sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a gloomy expression on his face.She was startled and instinctively covered her chest. "How did you get in? You scared me to death!"The man pressed his tongue against his molars, "Madeleine had an accident, and you had someone do it."This is an affirmative sentence, not a negative one.Tiffany chuckled and picked up the red wine from the coffee table in front of the man, pouring it into a tall glass.She put down the wine bottle and was about to pick up the tall glass when her wrist was grabbed by the man.Tiffany lifted her gaze and looked at the man. "Karter, are you coming to my place so late because you want to sleep with me? You look good, and I agree to have a deeper conversation with you..."Karter pulled the person, while his other hand tightly grasped her neck.Tiffany raised an eyebrow, "You enjoy playing this kind of game? I just didn't bring any tools, otherwise
Although it was a scene of a cliff being pushed into the water, it was built along the riverbank with a green backdrop, and it will be composited in post-production. Only the water below is real.There was a large net underwater that could lift people up at any time. The actors, apart from getting wet and feeling the cold, were not in any danger to their lives.The constructed cliff is about three stories high, approximately ten meters above the water surface, which is not considered very high.For safety reasons, Madeleine and Tiffany hung ropes.With eight positions ready, Deegan shouted "action" and the two of them began their lines.Tiffany's eyes gleamed fiercely as she sinisterly smiled and said, "Tiara, your time of death has finally arrived!"Madeleine's lips were tinged with crimson, and she looked at the other person in disbelief, with a mixture of surprise and confusion in her eyes. Then, a sense of despair that saw through everything followed, "You never wanted to help me
Madeleine didn't realize that she had slept for so long. She glared at Kristian and said, "Why didn't you wake me up?"Kristian yawned and said, "I fell asleep too."Madeleine. â..."She glared at him fiercely, pushed open the door, and got off the car.Kristian also got off the car.All eyes turned towards Kristian and Madeleine, as everyone offered their blessings.Madeleine smiled, and Kristian put his arm around her shoulder. "I'm really sorry for keeping you all waiting. We had a late rehearsal last night, and Madeleine was really tired."Deegan laughed and said, "No problem, throughout the day, there were several auspicious moments. It is most important for our actors to work in their best condition. Shall we start now?"Kristian nodded slightly, and all the actors and crew gathered around, ready for the opening ceremony.Tiffany stood beside Madeleine as the second female lead, casting a sidelong glance at her, wishing she could bite her to death.When she saw the news online a
In the photo, Madeleine was wearing an eye mask and covered with a blanket while sleeping, while Kristian was gazing affectionately at her. The background was on an airplane.So Kristian and she were on the same flight!Her current focus was not on how affectionate Kristian's gaze was towards her, but on the fact that this scoundrel of a man deliberately had people take photos!She felt that she was the one who had a big head at first, and now the two of them were performing with such deep affection, creating the impression that they had a very good relationship. In the end, their separation would definitely cause a huge uproar.But there was no time to consider these things at the moment. She quickly washed up, applied skincare products, and put on makeup. The most important thing was to cover the red marks on her neck with concealer.She changed into a black long-sleeved T-shirt and light-colored jeans, put on a pair of sneakers, and wore a duckbill cap, a mask, and sunglasses. She
Madeleine listened to the man's incredulous question, unsure if it was her imagination, but she actually felt a sense of disappointment in Kristian's eyes.However, she was more inclined towards Kristian because she was infuriated by being rejected first.Madeleine remembered when Kristian called her an ugly duckling, and at this moment, she felt a strong sense of revenge.She raised her chin slightly and said, "You took advantage of me just now, but I won't hold it against you. From now until the end of the new drama and its release, we can be a couple. For the sake of the overall situation, you should cooperate too.""What if I didn't cooperate?" Kristian's lips curled into a mocking smile.Madeleine smirked and said, "Then just wait for the new drama to be difficult to produce in your belly! After all, Deegan is your friend."Kristian suddenly grabbed her chin, his gaze deep and intense. "I didn't realize you could be so ruthless!"Madeleine pushed the man's hand away with her fing
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
