Carolyn gripped the straps of her backpack with both hands, a thin layer of sweat forming on her forehead. Her cheeks flushed pink, and her lips curved into a slight smile. "I'll tell you when I reach the top," she said.Ariella laughed and said, "I think I asked a stupid question. You liked him for so many years, how could you just give up like that?"Carolyn smiled and said, "Nothing is impossible." After saying that, she continued climbing the stone steps.Ariella shrugged; she didn't believe it at all!Ten minutes later, Carolyn and Ariella arrived at the top of the mountain.There were many people on the mountaintop, all there to see the night view of Greycoast.The two of them found a relatively secluded place, set down their backpacks.The night breeze wafted, blowing away the thin sweat on the two people's bodies.Carolyn gazed at the distant lights of the city and sighed, "For so many years, my heart and eyes were filled with Carsen, never knowing how beautiful the world is.
Carolyn and Ariella walked up to Angelo, and Angelo took the initiative to help Carolyn carry her luggage.Carolyn slid the suitcase behind her and said indifferently, "I can handle it myself."Angelo chuckled, "Why be so polite? Let me help you!""You really don't have to, Angelo," Carolyn said. "The driver at home is waiting for me over there!"Looking in the direction pointed by Carolyn's finger, a middle-aged man ran over and respectfully greeted, "Ms. Carolyn."Carolyn nodded slightly and handed over her and Ariella's luggage.After the driver left, Carolyn looked at Angelo and said, "Let's find a place to eat, shall we?"Angelo felt that Carolyn was a little off, a sense of unease lingering in his heart. He forced a smile at the corner of his lips and said, "Sure!"The three of them arrived at a restaurant near the airport. Ariella did not sit at the same table with the other two, but instead sat at a nearby table not far from them.She ordered a cup of coffee, her gaze occasion
After Carolyn had the driver take Ariella home, she had him take her back to her apartment.The driver carried the suitcase and backpack and took Carolyn up.Just as he stepped out of the elevator, the driver was taken aback.Carolyn followed behind, "What's wrong?"The driver stepped aside, "It was Mr. Keller."Carsen, who was sitting on the ground, slowly stood up and his gaze fell upon Carolyn.Carolyn saw the person and her heart thumped loudly.She felt useless, but still pretended to be calm and said to the driver, "Thank you, you can go back first.""Yes," the driver placed the suitcase and backpack at the door and took the elevator downstairs.Carolyn cleared her throat and said, "Uncle Carsen, why did you come?"Carsen looked thin, not only because he had been injured in his back for the past few days, but also because he couldn't find Carolyn, which made him extremely anxious.After realizing his true feelings, he felt miserable and couldn't bear the absence of Carolyn for j
Carolyn was driving, and Carsen was lying on the back seat of the car, looking at the backrest.A few days ago, his heart felt like it had been ripped out, causing intense pain and suffocation.He knew it was all because of Carolyn.He recalled the past and realized that the little girl had always been by his side all these years. Now, suddenly she was gone, and he was not used to it.The feeling was like a pillow that he used to sleep with every night, suddenly gone. He would then suffer from insomnia, restlessness, and madness.At that moment, his mood improved, and he felt a sense of relief in his heart.He suddenly remembered that he had not explained his relationship with Danna to her."Carolyn.""Hmm?""I had no relationship with Danna. I had rejected her before, but she wanted to wait until after Arturo's birthday banquet to announce that we were not together. If she and I didn't work out, Arturo would arrange a blind date for her at the banquet, and she wanted to leave the cou
When Carolyn and Carsen entered the apartment building, they happened to run into the security guard.The security guard and Carsen greeted each other, "He came back with his niece."Carsen had previously left his phone number with the security guard, instructing him to call if he encountered Aron and Clare. The security guard had promptly informed Carsen the last time.Carsen chuckled, "Actually, we were not uncle and niece. I was her suitor."Security guard. “Oh!"After the two entered the elevator, the security guard exclaimed, "I was so concerned! It turns out the young couple were playing role-playing games here for half a day! But they really look like a perfect match!"The two of them returned to Carsen's apartment, and it was Carolyn's first time there.She looked around and found that the colors here were just as monotonous as Carsen's, with black, white, and gray being the main theme."I went to fetch water first and gave you medicine.""Okay."Because the layout of the hous
After Carsen applied the ointment, he took Carolyn back upstairs.Carolyn said goodnight to him and then closed the door.She wanted to look outside through the peephole, but she was worried about being caught by Carsen as she was spying on him.So I could only press my ear against the door to listen to the sounds outside.It was not until a good while later that footsteps could be heard outside the door.Upon hearing the sound of the elevator doors opening and closing, Carolyn finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she could finally release her joyful emotions.She excitedly ran several laps in the living room, "I am so happy, so excited, so thrilled! Oh my goodness, I have made it!"She ran crazily for more than ten minutes before finally stopping, collapsing on the sofa, panting heavily.She raised her hand and wiped her forehead, only to find it covered in sweat. So she took her phone and went into the bathroom, getting ready to take a bubble bath in the bathtub.She looked at the
Carolyn let Carsen hold her hand, feeling secretly delighted.The man's large hand was broad and warm, tightly enclosing her small hand in his palm. The sensation felt as if an electric current was flowing from his palm to her heart.Carolyn had fantasized about holding hands with someone, it was sweet but without that heart-pounding feeling almost leaping out of her throat.Carsen was also nervous, it was the first time he held a girl's hand, which was very soft and smooth.He reluctantly let go of Carolyn's hand only when they got on the car."Carolyn, this was the first time I held a girl's hand."Carolyn looked at him and blurted out, "So, was it also your first time kissing a girl?"She pursed her lips and regretted asking the question, making it seem like she cared a lot.Carsen looked at the little girl, who lowered her gaze and pursed her lips. He chuckled lightly and said, "That was my first kiss."First Kiss?Carolyn's heart blossomed instantly upon hearing those words. She
Carolyn looked at Carsen's sincere expression and couldn't help but feel like laughing.She was really curious about what Carsen's reaction would be if he found out that he was the scumbag.She held the last bite of cake in her mouth, "I know, I'm giving you a chance now, so you better make the most of it."Carsen's eyes behind the golden frame of his glasses curved slightly, "Okay."The moment he thought about Carolyn being able to say that she no longer wanted to see that scumbag, it made him instantly overjoyed.After all, no matter how Carsen tried to persuade Carolyn before she got drunk, she wouldn't listen.The current situation is gradually improving, and he did not ask Carolyn to change all at once. After all, when someone has been living in one's heart for so long, it is not something that can be forgotten in a short time.Carsen picked up a tissue to wipe the corners of her lips, "You've eaten like a little kitten."Carolyn stared at the man's gentle appearance, her heart a
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
