Zoey lazily opened her eyes and saw the frosted glass in the bathroom reflecting the hazy silhouette of a man.She turned over weakly and closed her eyes, feeling tired.In no time, the sound of water in the bathroom abruptly ceased, and the man, wearing a bathrobe, walked out. He threw the towel for drying his hair onto the bedside table.Kneeling on the bed, both knees rubbed against Zoey's side.Looking at the woman with her back turned to him, he lowered his head and kissed the hair she had dried for her. "Are you asleep?"Zoey did not answer his words.Russell lay behind her, his hand slipping under the blanket and tracing up her smooth leg.Zoey held the man's hand and said, "Stop it, I was so tired."Russell kissed her cheek and said, "It's only a little past ten, and you're already saying you're tired."Zoey suddenly opened her eyes and turned to him, "We didn't use it just now, what if I got pregnant?""I didn't touch it inside."Zoey glared at him and pursed her lips. "Russe
Carolyn's mouth twitched when she heard the words.Carsen didn't think much about it, he nodded and said, "Sure, it's lively to have a big group for dinner."Carolyn was picking at the package strap, she was absolutely infuriated.A good date between the two turned into a dinner gathering of three.Carsen drove, Carolyn got into the passenger seat, and Angelo sat in the back seat with a bucket of fried chicken, not only feeling cramped with his long legs, but also feeling frustrated in his heart.Throughout the journey, Angelo was chatting with Carsen about the experiment project.Because Carolyn did not participate in this project, she had less opportunity to contribute.Carolyn had been secretly glancing at Carsen, being very cautious.She had heard before that the Keller family was very beautiful.The Keller family's good looks were famously high.At that time, she admired Carsen very much. However, the Keller family was not developing in the country. She first met him at a debate
Carsen looked up and saw Carolyn pretending to be calm while taking photos of her drink."You kids used to really like taking pictures and posting them on social media."Carolyn forced a smile and took advantage of the situation, "Yeah, I'll post a status to let everyone know that the food at this restaurant was quite authentic."Carsen laughed and said, "Three years is a generation gap, and we already have two generation gaps between us."No, you were just focused on academics, neglecting these things. It's okay, you can learn more in the future, there is no generation gap.Carolyn didn't like it when Carsen treated her like a child, which indicated that he wouldn't consider her in his future choice of a partner.Carsen smiled and said, "Then I will learn more."Angelo noticed that Carsen had been in a good mood these past few days. Previously, he had been serious every day. Angelo asked, "Mr. Keller, you seem to be in a good mood these days. Is there something good happening?"Think
Carsen and Carolyn had just arrived at the laboratory, and many classmates casted strange glances at them.Carolyn touched her face and asked, "Is there something on my face?"Adam handed over the phone and said, "There were news online about you and Mr. Keller."Carolyn took a look and furrowed her brows.Carsen stood by her side and naturally saw the photos and news.His thin lips pursed lightly, and a gloomy expression appeared on his usually gentle face."Unrealistic matters, just clarify."Adam laughed and said, "Exactly, these journalists always make something out of nothing. They will do anything to attract traffic and attention."The classmates on the side echoed, "They are all keyboard warriors, irresponsibly talking nonsense. Carolyn, don't be angry, we all know that you are related to Mr. Keller, how could there be any problem?""We have been watching all these years! Mr. Keller treated you as a junior!""Yeah, the Keller family and the Maddox family really cared about repu
As soon as the little one finished speaking, everyone fell silent.Layne looked at them, with a pouty face, "My dad only loved one woman in his life, and that's my mom! My mom's name is Zoey!"Zoey?The crowd was very puzzled."Zoey was pregnant at that time and died, how could this child be Zoey's?""Did Mr. Russell take us all for fools?""Is this how you explained it to Volkswagen and Zoey?""We used to believe in love because of you and Zoey, but we never expected it to eventually fall apart!""Since you said the child was born by Zoey, where is Zoey then?""Yeah, where was the person?"***Russell laughed and said, "Zoey is right here."Everyone started searching everywhere, but Zoey's figure was nowhere to be found.Jaelyn chuckled and put her arm around Zoey's shoulder, "Let me introduce you all to my biological daughter, Zoey!"The crowd. “..."Tabitha nodded, "My granddaughter Zoey!"Royce cleared his throat, "Our Zoey, Zoey!"Marlene walked to the other side of Zoey and took
The car parked in front of Hines Hall, and Roland, with his purple hair, stood there with a cigarette in his mouth, looking nonchalant.Zoey didn't wait for Russell to open the door for her, she just pushed the door and got out of the car.Her lips curled up with a smile as she greeted the man, "Roland!"Roland looked at the woman with a cool and aloof gaze, as if she were a stranger.Zoey walked up the stairs and approached him, raising an eyebrow. "Don't you recognize me?"Roland took a deep breath and blew a smoke ring into the air, his voice mocking, "Who are you? I don't know you!"Zoey glanced at the cigarette held between his fingertips and reached out to embrace him with both hands.Roland quickly moved his hand away from the cigarettes, his voice choked, "As a married woman, how could you casually hug and embrace other men? What kind of decorum is this?""Roland! Long time no see!"Roland suddenly welled up with tears, "I really didn't know you!""You let me hug you without e
Carolyn wiped away her bitter tears, then freshened up, put on makeup, and changed into a white lace dress that reached down to her ankles.She looked at herself in the full-length mirror, turning left and right, and muttered to herself, "Am I a bit more mature this time?"Carolyn had a doll-like face, looking sweet and adorable, always appearing to be eighteen years old."Ah, it was driving me crazy! It just didn't seem mature no matter how I looked at it!"She bit her lip and, feeling a bit annoyed, went back to the dressing room and chose a black, one-shoulder, slim-fitting long dress.The dark color scheme looked more mature and steady, so she quickly changed into it.She was 165 centimeters tall. Although not tall, she had a well-proportioned figure and looked very balanced.She was quite satisfied with this dress, but as she looked at herself in the mirror, she faintly felt that something was still not right.She suddenly snapped her fingers, the lipstick color was wrong.So, sh
When the car door opened again, Carsen walked out with his arm around Carolyn's shoulder.Carolyn turned around and saw that the three men who had attacked Carsen were all lying on the ground. The two women, who had also regained consciousness, were huddled together, trembling.Carolyn turned back to look at the man and noticed that his lip was cut and there were scratches on his neck. His shirt had become wrinkled and stained with blood."Did you get hurt?""It's okay, just a minor injury.""What about your shirt?" Carolyn furrowed her brow.Carsen smiled faintly and said, "There is a spare one in the trunk, just change it later.""Go upstairs and change. I'll disinfect the scratches on your neck and check if you have any other injuries."Carsen was about to say no, but when he saw the little girl's teary eyes, he couldn't refuse."Then I took the shirt and went up.""Okay."Carsen took the shirt and Carolyn went back upstairs.Carsen took off his dirty shirt and folded it before thr
The gift box was a two-meter tall rose red square, with a super beautiful bow tied on top, which instantly caught people's attention.The waiter pushed the cart in front of her and bowed respectfully, "Dear Ms. Keller, this gift is prepared for you by Mr. Russell. He said that the child's birthday is also your day of suffering, so while celebrating the child's birthday, he cannot forget the pain you have endured as a wife. He prepared this gift hoping that you will like it."Zoey was very curious about what the gift would be. But where did Russell go?Without giving her much thought, Madeleine nudged her with her elbow, "Quickly open it and take a look."Leanna also urged, "I am curious to see what Russell would give you."Zoey hadn't heard the three words 'Russell' for a while, wondering if Russell would have a gloomy expression when he heard them again.Under the gaze of the crowd, Zoey stepped forward and gently untied the ribbon.The waiter indicated that there was a button on the
Zoey looked at the direction the car was heading and realized it wasn't towards the Keller's manor. She asked Russell, "Aren't we going home?"Russell glanced in the rearview mirror, a deep smile playing at the corners of his lips. "I will take you to a mysterious place," he said.Layne's eyes widened as he knelt on his seat and looked back. Leanna's car was following behind. He turned around and asked, "Dad, did Evelin and the others also go?""Yes," Russell replied with a warm smile.Layne exclaimed, "I was so excited!"Zoey looked at Madeleine and said, "You knew all along?"Madeleine shrugged helplessly and said, "I can't deny that I knew, your man asked us to keep it a secret, he said he wanted to surprise you. Zoey, you can't blame me!""Us?" Zoey chuckled, "So I was the only one kept in the dark? You all knew? Even Leanna knew?"Madeleine nodded and then blinked her eyes, "Blame Russell if you must!"Zoey looked at the handsome profile of the man and said, "Just me, I didn't kn
Layne's emotional knot was finally resolved under Zoey's various explanations.Madeleine breathed a sigh of relief, as she felt that if Layne were to prevent Zoey and Russell from having a second child because of her words, she would be truly guilty.After all, both the Maddox family and the Keller family were looking forward to the birth of their second child!Of course, Zoey and Russell were also looking forward to having another child because Russell had not been there to accompany Zoey during her pregnancy and delivery, which was a regret. Therefore, both of them wanted to make up for this regret.And she almost became the terminator of their second child.Even if Zoey wasn't angry, Russell would definitely be so angry that he would want to slap her.Three people accompanied the adorable Layne to play at the playground. In the middle, Leanna arrived with Evelin.Because of Layne's gift, Evelin also had one, so when Evelin saw the gift, she happily jumped and danced.The little gir
Madeleine glanced sideways and saw a tall woman, wearing a mask and sunglasses, making a sound. There was also a girl carrying a bag beside her.Even if you couldn't recognize her from her appearance, you could still tell it was Madeleine from her voice.The person was Tiffany, and her assistant Rubi was next to her.It really is a narrow road for enemies.If it were someone else, maybe she would have let it go, but as soon as she saw that it was Tiffany, her competitive spirit instantly exploded."First come, last arrive."Tiffany recognized that it was Madeleine and immediately changed her demeanor, becoming particularly obedient. "So it's Madeleine, huh? Well, then I must give this necklace to you.""Let?" Madeleine despised bitchy women the most. "This is not yours, how can there be a 'let'?"Tiffany's assistant, Rubi, always acted like a bully. "Madeleine seemed to be in a bad mood today, her tone was a bit hurtful!"Madeleine scoffed, "She has problems doing things on her own, a
Carolyn and Carsen finally got together, and all that was left was their wedding.This made Zoey and Russell breathe a sigh of relief.If either of these two people was not well, their hearts could not calm down.Zoey nestled in Russell's arms and murmured, "Why is it that other people's happiness seems so effortless, while it feels so difficult for us and those around us?"Russell caressed her slender fingers and said, "Because the environment we were in was complex, with more interests and power struggles, it was impossible to guard against. If we were just ordinary people, we wouldn't have so many worries."Zoey looked up at him and said, "If you were an ordinary person, I guess there would be rich women wanting to sponsor you. A wealthy woman would just throw out a card, one hundred thousand per month, for the first two years!"Russell laughed out, "So, do you agree?"Zoey thought for a moment, "One hundred thousand a month, one million two hundred thousand a year, two million fou
The car stopped in front of City Hall.After Carsen got off the car, he walked around the front and opened the passenger door. He extended his hand like a gentleman and said, "Miss, who is beautiful, lovely, and intelligent, please get off the car and accompany me to sign in."Carolyn completed the crescent moon with her eyes, "What if I didn't get off the car?""Then I'll carry you in," Carsen said, his lips curved into a handsome arc, with a rogue-like demeanor.Carolyn crossed her arms and exclaimed, "Oh my, I was so scared! Someone tried to rob me in broad daylight! Help, someone!"Carsen leaned against the car door and the door frame, and said, "Carolyn, want to play cosplay?"Carolyn was taken aback at first, then her cheeks turned red. "You're being unserious again! If others knew that you're not actually as cold and restrained as you appear, they would definitely be shocked!"Carsen chuckled, "No one will ever know, only you know, I'm only serious with you."Carolyn pursed her
Carolyn looked around, but she didn't see anyone else, only that voice which she recognized as Layne's.She whispered, "If I don't accept your proposal, will Layne jump out in a hurry?"Carsen looked up at her and said, "So, why don't you give it a try?"Carolyn smirked and said, "I was worried about damaging your reputation. Carsen, you're so annoying, you just knew I would agree, right?"Carsen looked at her and said, "I really didn't think about it that much, you can disagree if you want. Then I will try my best to pursue you until you agree."Carolyn hummed, "You're lying, you knew I would agree."Carsen's thin lips curled up, "So, should I take that as your agreement?""Who proposes without a ring, only flowers?" Carolyn said, pursing her lips.Carsen chuckled, "I'm sorry, I was too nervous and forgot about this part."He quickly took out a small blue velvet box from his suit pocket. After opening it, there was a blue pigeon egg inside, crystal clear and shining like Carolyn in t
Carsen never thought that a girl would like him, let alone for nearly ten years!That youthful period was the most beautiful stage of Carolyn's life, occupying almost half of her life.What did Carsen do?He was really a fool, jealous of himself.He chuckled, but then burst into tears.His Carolyn!Even though he didn't know before that she had a crush on him, when she started appearing in front of him frequently, becoming his student, and occasionally bringing him meals, how did he not notice her feelings of love for him?Why was he so slow?Why did he make his little girl wait for so many years?Upon careful recollection, it seems that everyone knew about this matter, so why was he the last one to find out?After he confessed his feelings to her, Carolyn said she wanted to take some time to think about it, but she actually didn't do so and quickly accepted him.He was worried that Carolyn still liked the scumbag, so he quickly got involved with her.How could he be so shameless?Wit
Carolyn hasn't been getting enough rest lately. After taking the medication developed by Zoey, she felt very comfortable and quickly fell asleep.Carsen walked into the bedroom with a bowl of tonic soup and saw the little girl sleeping soundly.He walked over gently, placed the tonic soup on the bedside table, and sat on the edge of the bed, watching her.This silly girl, because she was afraid of burdening him, chose to run away.How could she be so foolish to get married to another man and cut ties with him?He reached out to touch her little face, which used to be chubby but now looked thin. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken, "Silly little fool."At that moment, a message alert sound came from his pants pocket.He took it out and found that it was sent by Angelo.I was the one who suggested getting married, of course, I didn't really want to, I just wanted to test your attitude towards Carolyn. You are genuinely in love with her, case closed. But do you know who the scumbag in
