Nancy returned to the gallery feeling restless, as she remembered Dalton saying he would come to pick her up in the evening.She had already rejected him several times, and if she didn't come up with a suitable reason soon, he would definitely start to suspect.So she called Zoey and asked her to help with opening a report form.Zoey agreed immediately and in the afternoon, she went to the gynecologist and got a report form to deliver to the art gallery.After they met, Zoey and Nancy talked a lot and understood Nancy's concerns."If Dalton really no longer loved Amiya, would you marry him?"Nancy was drinking juice and said, "These days, I felt that Dalton was treating me well, but I didn't know if it was physical dependence or something else."Zoey noticed her lack of confidence. "Nancy, you are beautiful, have a great figure, and are talented. There is no reason for Dalton not to like you. In the past, Dalton may have been distant towards you because he hadn't accepted you emotiona
Nancy pursed her lips tightly, "You made Dalton answer the phone."Amiya laughed and said, "He used all his strength on me, and now he's already fallen asleep from exhaustion."Nancy's fingers, clutching her phone, gradually tightened. "Amiya, you sent Dalton for this, didn't you? I guess Dalton definitely wasn't willing, it was you who planned it. Have you ever thought about how he will treat you after he wakes up?""I didn't!" Amiya shouted, "Dalton and I were like a raging fire, and after experiencing me, he said you lying in bed was as lifeless as a corpse, incredibly boring.""Amiya, you sent me the address, I was going to find Dalton."Amiya chuckled and said, "It was like a dream!"The phone call was disconnected, and Nancy knew that Amiya had used some means to make Dalton stay.She bit her lower lip and glanced at the time, it was already late at night.She wanted to call Zoey, but the timing was simply not right.So, she prepared to call Dalton's assistant to ask for help in
Divorce?Dalton's lips tightened into a straight line, and there was surprise and reluctance in his eyes."I was designed, Nancy."Dalton had thought about divorcing many times, after all, the reason he and Nancy got married in the first place was not pleasant.Little did he know that after that time together, he developed a strong attachment to her body.Afterwards, he grew to like her even more.Nancy filed for divorce, and his heart felt like it had been hollowed out.His Adam's apple bobbed as he said, "Nancy, can we not get divorced? I gave her medication, so she won't get pregnant, and I won't have any involvement with her in the future. Can we go back to how things were before? Is not getting divorced okay?"The man, who used to be arrogant and never gave her a second glance, is now humbly begging for her.Nancy would not continue her relationship with Craig, and she did not want to be caught between Dalton and Amiya. She only wanted to give birth to the child.She thought she
Dalton nervously looked at the man, while Russell's gaze remained fixed on the scar on his jawbone.He aimed the phone screen at Dalton and said calmly, "Your scar has been there for over a decade, and although the scar is in the same place, it seems somewhat new."Dalton quickly took the phone and carefully examined it.He was too anxious at the time, and only saw people in the video who looked exactly like him, without even thinking about distinguishing the old and new scars.He furrowed his brow, "It seemed like this."He got up and said, "I'm going to find Nancy to explain this matter.""Wait." Russell called out to him, "There's a question that I find quite tricky."Dalton asked, "What?""Would Amiya take something from you tonight?"Dalton's body stiffened, and a chill ran down his spine.He turned around and rushed out of the office. After he entered the elevator, he looked at the down button and felt anxious.He had no recollection of anything from last night, so it cannot be
"Zoey, enjoy the last few minutes of being able to breathe freely! Soon, your heart will be inside my body!"Hospital operating room.Zoey Harmon was completely immobilized on the operating table and couldn't move.Just after the car accident, she is now in so much pain that she is almost suffocating.The overhead light cast a shadow on her face as she incredulously looked at her sister dressed in a patient gown."Why!""Why?" Ariana Harmon reached out and poked her chest, her lips curling into a sinister smile.“You should blame yourself for today's suffering, why do you always have to be better than me on everything!"“Did you really think I cared about you?” Ariana scoffed, "If I hadn’t pretended to be kind, would you have handed over your designs, worked as my voice double, or trusted me enough to drink that juice mixed with sedatives before the accident?"“Do you remember the fire at the bar ten years ago? That was my doing! Those thugs I hired were useless—they couldn’t even fi
In front of her eyes was a bright dressing table mirror. Zoey looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in professional attire and with her hair tied up, and for a moment, she was stunned.Looking around, she was in the room of the Harmon family.The room was very small and had been cluttered with miscellaneous items. It was simply renovated before she came back.Zoey raised her hand and placed it on her chest, as the sound of her heart beating rapidly echoed.She didn't die.Did she actually not die?"Zoey, have you finished tidying up? We agreed to meet at this time to go to the Candy Shop, don't be late."Ariana's voice sounded outside the door.Familiar attire, familiar words.Candy Shop?Wasn't that two years ago?Two years ago, Nelson found her and said that the Harmon family and the Maddox family had an engagement, and he hoped she would become his wife.She was full of excitement back then, after all, the man in front of her was her lifesaver.But Nelson had told her he wanted
The sound of knocking on the door was heard, and Ariana pushed the door open."Zoey, the engagement banquet has started, it's time for you to go on stage."Zoey looked at Ariana's swollen lips and understood in her heart.It was obvious that Ariana and Nelson were secretly involved with each other.In the past, she’d trusted them and hadn’t thought to question it. But now, every little detail was as clear as day.She smiled and said, "Okay."Zoey stood up and Ariana's face changed suddenly, "Zoey, did you change your dress?"Zoey was dressed in a white lace long dress, with silver flat shoes on her feet. Her dark, slightly curled hair fell to her waist, and her light makeup looked clean and gentle, like a fairy fallen to earth.“Doesn't it look good?” Zoey asked with a smile.Ariana tugged at her lips and said, "Good, it looks good. Nelson will definitely be amazed."Zoey glanced at her clenched palm and realized she was worried that she might seduce Nelson away.She patted Ariana's s
Alonso's mouth twitched, "Where do I go find it?"Zoey's gaze fell on Russell in the wheelchair and she said, "Since there is an engagement, it doesn't say who it has to be with. So, I want Russell!"Everyone shook their heads and pursed their lips.Just now Russell said he wasn't interested in women, isn't that asking for trouble!Moreover, although Russell held a high position and had an exquisite appearance, he was impotent. Marrying him would clearly mean living as a widow!Is Miss Harmon from the Harmon family out of her mind?The air seemed as if it had stopped flowing, unusually quiet.The entire banquet hall could only hear the sound of Russell lightly tapping the armrest of his wheelchair.Under the crystal chandelier, the man's pupils turned amber, as if they had merged with the snow, clear and beautiful, unlike those of a real person.Suddenly, his slender fingers paused, and he glanced at Zoey's delicate eyebrows, raising them slightly. His voice was cold and clean, "I agr

The next day, Randall invited everyone to go mountain climbing.Nancy stayed in the hotel room due to feeling unwell.Dalton wanted to accompany her, but she said she stayed because she wanted to sleep. If he also stayed, she wouldn't be able to sleep.Dalton chased her away, and she lay on the tatami mat.In a short while, there came a knocking sound at the door of the guest room.She put on her slippers and went to open the door. The room service staff was holding a tray with a glass pitcher on it, filled with a deep red liquid."Mrs. Jenkins, this was cooked for you by Mr. Murillo in the kitchen."Nancy was about to take the tray, but the staff quickly said, "Let me bring it in for you, I dare not trouble you to carry it yourself.""Thank you," Nancy said, turning to the side.The service staff brought it in and placed it on the table, then left.Nancy looked at the pot of sugar water, tightly pursing her lips.Back in high school, whenever she had her period, Craig would bring thi
Nancy concealed the strange look in her eyes and made an excuse to get up and leave for the restroom.Dalton did not notice anything unusual, and he started chatting with Nancy.The little girl was very talkative, "Uncle, you and my dad looked a bit alike! Especially in the eyes."Dalton clicked his tongue and said, "Wasn't I more handsome than your dad?"Nancy chuckled, "You all are handsome, but in my eyes, Dad was the most handsome. In Nancy's eyes, you were the most handsome."Dalton chuckled, "You really know how to not offend anyone, you little trickster!"Nacy had a big smile on her face and said, "I was telling the truth, you know!"Over here, Nancy washed her face in the bathroom.Looking at herself in the mirror, with red eyes, she was on the verge of losing control in front of everyone."Do you need any help?"The man's voice came from the doorway, and Nancy's hands curled up on the sink.She slo
Nancy clenched her fists upon hearing the words, she didn't expect to reunite with Craig, who had already gotten married and had children.Now she faced the other's wife and daughter, feeling heartbroken and bitter.Zoey held her hand and said, "It's something we had to face sooner or later. Isn't it the most important thing that you are certain he is still alive?""Yes, I should be content," Nancy wiped away her tears, "I will go downstairs and open the door for them."Zoey held her shoulder and said, "I'll go, it's fine. Nancy, I understand you, but I still hope that you can consider your situation with Dalton. You should make sure of Dalton's feelings before saying anything."Nancy nodded and said, "Okay, I will consider it."Zoey nodded and got up to open the door.A gentle smile, dressed in casual clothes, a woman was holding a little girl with a mushroom-shaped hairstyle standing there."Hello, I am Susie, Randall's wife.
Dalton comforted Nancy, "Otherwise, shall we go back first?""No!" Nancy felt that her reaction was too abnormal. She pursed her lips and said, "No need, I'm fine now, I was just a little scared earlier. Don't spoil Zoey and their excitement."Dalton wiped her tears with his hand and said, "Even pearls are falling, and you say it's nothing."Nancy nodded, "Russell was planning to collaborate with Mr. Murillo, right? Don't let my actions make everyone unhappy."Dalton scratched her petite, rosy nose and said, "It seems like she wasn't scared silly, and now she even knows how to weigh the pros and cons."Nancy nodded and then started to hiccup.She had a habit, which was that after crying a lot, she would start hiccuping.Dalton thought she was adorable, and he hugged her and gently patted her back, "Shall I pour you some water?""Okay."Dalton handed her a glass of water, and Nancy took a few sips before the hiccup finall
Dalton kissed her cheek, tracing along her fair neck to her straight shoulders, one hand caressing the soft flesh at her waist, while the other supported her fullness.Nancy held the man's hand and said, "Don't make a fuss, everyone has left, and it's just the two of us now."Dalton chuckled, "Shy? Everyone was married, and it was well known, what's there to be shy about?""No, we, we should still go out." Nancy's cheeks turned red, feeling quite embarrassed, after all, they still had to meet people later.Dalton turned the person around and his gaze fell on her flesh-colored lace cup, which was full and overflowing, very enticing.He bowed his head and Nancy placed both hands on the man's shoulders, "D-Dalton..."Dalton stood up and looked at her, licking his lips sensually."Come back and eat later in the evening."Nancy knew that the man had let her go, so she quickly turned around to change her clothes.Dalton watche
