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
Madeleine looked around and realized that no one had noticed this scene. She quickly walked towards the door.She furrowed her brows and interrogated the man, "How did you come here?"Kristian squinted his eyes and said, "I should go say hello."Madeleine turned around and quickly grabbed the man's arm, walking towards the exit of the hall.Kristian's footsteps halted, and Madeleine didn't pull him, instead, she was pulled into the man's arms.Madeleine, afraid of being discovered, pushed him and lowered her voice, "What are you going crazy for?"Watching the woman's uneasy gaze, Kristian placed his hand on the back of her head and kissed her.Madeleine was scared to death. The two of them had a special identity, and it was highly likely that they would be photographed and released to the public, which would then go viral and become headline news.Madeleine slapped the man's chest and, seeing that he still wouldn't stop, she fiercely bit him.Kristian released her, his tongue licking
When Kristian returned to the Rosario Manor, he saw Laurel sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered the door, with Tiffany massaging her legs beside her.He immediately turned around to leave, but was stopped by Laurel."Kristian!"Kristian paused, took a deep breath, and glanced sideways. "Didn't you say you were feeling uncomfortable in your heart? Since Tiffany is here, I feel relieved."Tiffany looked at Laurel with a face full of grievances, and Laurel patted her hand, indicating her to relax.Laurel got up and her seventy-year-old body looked strong. She walked quickly to Kristian's front and blocked his way."Grandma, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much. Can you have dinner with me before you leave, please?" Laurel pleaded with a longing expression.Even so, Kristian still wanted to refuse.Just as he was about to speak, Davian came down the stairs and said, "Stay and have dinner."Kristian dared not defy Davian, so he had to stay.Laurel hummed and said, "I
After Madeleine returned to the banquet hall, she felt heavy-hearted. She sat on the intricately carved chair, pursing her lips.She just found it funny that someone who had once harshly rejected her was now coming back to bother her just because of one unexpected night.Kristian was convinced that she still liked him, thinking that all he had to do was snap his fingers and she would obediently sleep with him.Madeleine felt that her dignity had been trampled upon, and she couldn't help but clench her hand holding the tall glass.Why was he so certain that she liked him?Why couldn't she get close to Karter?Why did he want to restrict her social life and personal freedom?He didn't let her do anything, but she insisted on doing it!What did Karter say about her not being sincere? How did he know?Although there is nothing between her and Karter now, but in case there is something, why can't Karter be sincere to her?Doesn't Madeleine deserve to be liked or loved by someone?Just then
Russell took Zoey and Layne back to the apartment.The first thing I was supposed to do after returning was to give Layne a bath, but the little one insisted on opening the gift box first.He sat on the carpet next to the living room sofa, sitting in the pile of gift boxes, and began to unwrap them.Russell and Zoey sat on the couch, watching him, their lips curved with joyful smiles.Layne opened a blue package box, opened the lid, and inside were four keys and a note.He picked up the note and read, "Uncle wishes you a happy birthday. This is the key to Windy Garden, a total of four sets of houses, living in adjacent doors, very convenient. Uncle will give you a set of houses every year from now on."Layne exclaimed, looking at Russell and Zoey, "So by the time I turn thirty, does that mean I will have thirty houses?""It seems like I can finally lie down!" Layne continued unwrapping the gift, muttering to himself, "Uncle really lacks creativity, giving me a house every year as a bi
Russell didn't know where a black scarf appeared from, and he blindfolded Zoey with it."Don't open your eyes and look, I will show you the gift in a moment."Zoey closed her eyes and felt the living room lights go out, everything was in darkness.At that time, human senses were infinitely magnified.Russell's footsteps faded away, and soon after, soft footsteps could be heard again, as if someone was walking on tiptoe."Russell? What were you doing?"Her eyes moved, wanting to take them off and look, but her wrist was grabbed by someone."Wait a moment."Zoey pursed her lips and smiled, "What's the matter? Why so secretive?""Okay, you take it off yourself."Zoey couldn't wait to take off the scarf, and the moment she saw Russell, she burst into laughter.Afraid of waking Layne up, she quickly covered her mouth.She cleared her throat and held back a laugh as she watched the man dressed in a maid outfit. His long legs were clad in black stockings, and he walked on tiptoes, wearing a
The next evening at half past five, a black Bentley parked in front of the ornate gate of the Keller's manor.The bodyguard called and said he had seen a suspicious vehicle.After hearing about this, Madeleine called Karter on the phone, and he answered quickly."Is the car parked at the entrance yours?"Karter lightly hummed, "I arrived a bit early."Madeleine stood by the French window, holding her phone and chuckled softly, "It's okay, I'll have the bodyguard open the gate for you, come in.""Okay."After hanging up the phone, Madeleine immediately called the bodyguard to have Karter's car driven in.She sat in front of the dressing table and started putting on makeup. After all, she was a public figure, so she had to put on a light makeup before going out.At the same time, Karter had entered the Keller Manor.Tabitha looked up and down at the polite and handsome man. She waved her hand and said, "Please have a seat."After thanking, Karter sat on the sofa, with Tabitha, Danielle,
Kristian's hand holding the knife and fork paused, he lifted his gaze to the person opposite him, looking displeased, "Were you following me?"Tiffany's lips curved into a beautiful smile, "Of course not, I came here with my friends. I saw you and Deegan Adkins eating here earlier and didn't want to disturb you. But when he left, I thought it would be a good opportunity to say hello to you."Kristian looked at her and found it difficult to swallow the food. He decided to put down his knife and fork and leaned back against the back of the chair."Now that you have said hello, you can leave."Tiffany, with a smile on her lips as if she couldn't see the man's annoyance, said, "Kristian, we have known each other for many years. Do you remember how I used to follow you like a shadow, but you always had a cold face? However, what you said that day was really hurtful, and I don't think liking you is something unreasonable. If you don't like me, you can just say it, and I won't bother you any
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
