Brodie was indeed much older than Joselyn, but that's just how relationships are.
Fate has arrived, age and such are not a problem.
Brodie clicked his tongue and said, "You brat, do you still want the latest anime figurines?"
Layne looked at him with an innocent little gaze and said, "If you don't take me, Joselyn will take me!"
Brodie laughed and said, "You were quite good at pinpointing other people's weaknesses."
Layne smirked and said, "Dad told me that every time he wanted to discipline me, I would bring up Mom, and it worked really well."
Brodie looked at Russell, who shrugged and said, "Like father, like son. Layne learned well."
Brodie chuckled lightly, "Shouldn't it be 'afraid of the wife'?"
Russell curved his lips and said, "This was a virtue, learn it well and be careful not to be dumped."
Brodie: "..."
His mouth was still so venomous, I wish I had beaten him up more back then.
Russell raised an
The weather was extremely cold, and Royce got into the car with Viviana.The little person sat in the passenger seat, dressed in a soft and fluffy manner, looking just like a little steamed bun."How old are you?"Royce habitually reached for the cigarette box, but when he remembered there were children in the car, he stopped this action."I was five years old, oh." Viviana extended her tender little hand, with five fingers resembling tender shoots of bamboo.Royce thought it was cute and reached out to poke it.Viviana immediately withdrew her hand, "My mother said that men and women should not be too familiar with each other.""So, you dared to talk to me?""So, don't I have to find someone to borrow a phone from?""...it seems to be something like this."Royce asked, "Does your mother still have to work so late?""Yeah, Mom said that only by working can Viviana earn a lot of money.""Why do you ne
Brodie pulled the girl over and sat her on his lap, handing her the phone, "You look."Joselyn looked at the news and tightened her lips.After all, when the events of that year were exposed, she, as the person involved, was also labeled as a plagiarist, and her emotions fluctuated.Brodie took off the dry towel that was wrapped around her hair, letting her dark wet hair fall behind her. She smoothed it with her hand and said, "Isn't this exactly how we expected it to unfold?"Joselyn nodded, "That's true, but I still felt uncomfortable in my heart.""During the week before the new year, you didn't have to go to the art studio. Stay at home and paint well. Don't watch any news or reply to any messages. I stayed at home with you during that week."Joselyn looked at the man in surprise, "Didn't you have surgery?""In very special circumstances, I would go again, but for the rest of the time, I would stay and accompany you."Josel
Jaelyn has always been perceived as gentle and kind, but today she unexpectedly confronted Deborah for the sake of Joselyn.Joselyn pursed her lips and said, "Jaelyn, thank you for being willing to believe me."Jaelyn smiled and held her hand, "You are the one Brodie has chosen, which means you are the one we have chosen. In a few days, you should start calling me mom. After the new year, our families can meet and we can get engaged first, and then find a good day to get married. Madeleine, Zoey, and Carolyn are not married yet, so how about the four of you together?"Madeleine laughed and said, "Mom, if you were to have a collective wedding for us, the first one to disagree would be Russell. He has been looking forward to this wedding for many years. On the small island, there have been quite a few jokes because of who had their wedding first."Jaelyn asked, "What joke?"Zoey curved her lips and said, "At first, they competed on the spinning wheel
Almost everyone who stayed up until midnight to celebrate the New Year saw these negative news about Deborah.The Hester family, except for Deborah, were all immersed in their sleep. She had originally planned to read online comments insulting Joselyn to ease the humiliation she had experienced during the day, but what she ended up receiving was her own exposure."How could this happen? How is it possible?"Deborah went crazy and fiercely grabbed her hair, why didn't things develop as she had hoped? Why were all her secrets exposed?She thought and thought, and there was only one reason, everything was because of Joselyn, all the bad things were done by this damn bitch.Joselyn was like a venomous snake lurking in the dark, constantly spying on her triumph.Deborah smashed all the items in the room.The loud noise woke up the Hester family, and Axel quickly knocked on the door."Deborah, what happened?""Open the door fo
After a few years, the incident of plagiarizing artwork finally saw a turning point.Although Joselyn had already made peace with the knot in her heart, there were still traces remaining.This time, she was completely relieved.Joselyn and her friends and family did not believe her, and the others had to accept the reality when the evidence was conclusive.She could finally open her own art studio, hold art exhibitions, and publish comic books, instead of constantly being on edge, afraid of the plagiarism controversy resurfacing. Everything she held in her hands felt like sand slipping away with the wind.She stretched and answered Brodie's call."Shall I take you to have French cuisine tonight?""Professor Keller seemed to be in a good mood.""My girlfriend was happy, so naturally I was in a good mood."Joselyn sighed and said, "Thank you, Brodie, thank you for everything you did for me. In the new year, I wish you all
Joselyn quickly buried her face in the man's arms, closed her eyes tightly, and lowered her voice, "Let's leave right away."Brodie embraced with open arms, "Only three days apart and you're already giving me a hug, I love this New Year's gift.""You also said, my mom saw it too, and she blamed you!""Well, blame me."Kinley couldn't have imagined the lovey-dovey behavior of the young couple at that time. "It's nothing, just your dad giving a gift to Brodie. Grandpa and Grandma also gave gifts. Come down to pick them up when you're ready to leave."Joselyn's ears perked up as soon as she heard it, "What gift?""You would know in a moment."After Kinley finished speaking, she closed the door.Joselyn grabbed the man's hoodie and peered out, taking a deep breath. "The feeling of being caught like this is really terrifying," she said."We didn't perform giving birth on the spot, what are we afraid of?"Joselyn looked
When Joselyn asked this question, her voice was trembling.No one could accept being seen as a substitute by their partner, it would be too pathetic.When Joselyn was heading to the police station and making a statement, Deborah's words echoed in her mind.So, after getting on the car, she still asked it out.Brodie looked at the girl with red-rimmed eyes, turned around, and took out a cigarette box from the storage box. He pulled out a cigarette from it and lit it at the edge of his lips.A faint smoke rose and filled the entire carriage.Joselyn couldn't help but cough a few times.Brodie extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the ashtray.Joselyn felt that a man's silence and contemplative smoking were both a form of consent. She had never seen a man smoke in front of her, so she knew what men were thinking."Brodie, I felt that we should calm down first," she said, and then she got out of the car, with Bro
Joselyn hummed, "No way."Brodie leaned down and kissed the girl's lips, "Have you missed me these past few days?""No,"Brodie didn't want to hear any negative words, so he directly sealed Joselyn's beautiful lips and planted a deep kiss, making it difficult for her to breathe.She helplessly placed her hands on the man's chest, and as she was slipping down, Brodie grabbed her hand and clung it to his own neck.Long time passed, lips parted."Ask again, did you miss me?"Joselyn's eyelashes were moist, "I thought about it.""Why didn't you reply to my message? Do you know how I've been these days?"Brodie held her hand against his cheek, "I think you've lost weight, can you feel it?"Joselyn saw that he had indeed lost a lot of weight, although he had shaved and looked clean-shaven, he also appeared very tired.She was a complete mess inside, "Maybe you have other thoughts.""What else can I think a
Kinley looked pale and weak, her voice barely audible. "Porter."Kinley had a heart attack because of this incident, and Joselyn knew she would ask about it when she woke up.She took a deep breath and said, "Porter felt guilty for plotting against his brother back then. You treated him like your own and even forgave him for his crime. He felt guilty towards you, so after he was released from prison, he came to the hospital to be a match for you. Unexpectedly, the match was successful, and he signed the donation agreement. When Porter heard about your accident, he crashed his car and died, all in order to donate his heart to you."Kinley's complexion was even worse than before, and she remained silent for a long time. "So, he committed suicide in order to give me a new heart."Joselyn revealed the truth because once one lie is told, the second one will be told, and sooner or later, the truth will be exposed."Mom, actually Porter was both the cause
"What?"Deborah widened her eyes in horror, wearing an expression of disbelief. "Did these idiots not consider the consequences of exposing themselves as victims without testifying in court? Are they brainless like pigs?"Joselyn found her words incredible, what kind of values were these?Should the victims feel ashamed?That's why the perpetrator was so rampant!In the current society, women were still at a disadvantage in this aspect.Many women, after being violated, were afraid of being criticized and chose to keep quiet and make peace.It was also because of this that Deborah dared to repeatedly instruct people to commit crimes.Joselyn didn't know how Brodie persuaded these victims, but in the end, all of them were willing to come forward and accuse Noah, who in turn accused Deborah.Deborah was already guilty, and now with an additional charge, she can't get out without a sentence of more than fifteen years.
Brodie gently pulled Joselyn's arm, which was resting on the pillow, out and got out of bed. He put on his clothes, grabbed the car keys, and left.He drove to the basement of the Century Club, where Roland was holding a man's ear and slapping him with a slipper.The man's mouth emitted a whimpering cry, but Roland's actions did not cease."Do you know who you offended?"The man shook his head, "I don't know."Roland sighed, "So, are you daring to do something foolish?""Please spare me!"The man let out a wail.Roland saw Brodie approaching and handed him the slippers, "Want to take a break for a while?"Brodie glanced with disdain, "No need. Did he hire?""No, he was very stubborn." Roland clicked his tongue.Brodie nodded lightly, "I'll do it."Roland felt that he was just talking nonsense, what kind of cunning methods could this gentle nobleman use to deal with such a person?Just as he ha
