It was merely a companionship to pass the days.
It didn't matter whether there was love or not.
Or perhaps it would be better without love, that way a lot of unnecessary trouble would be saved.
This was Quinn's thought when he found Isabella to marry.
But now, Quinn didn't think so anymore.
What he wanted was a bit more than before, not only did he want to have Isabella herself, but he also wanted to win her heart.
And was her wounded heart willing to open up for him again?
Because he could not fathom what was going on in Isabella's mind, Quinn always felt that their relationship was fragile, and that it could collapse in an instant due to minor turbulence, falling apart completely.
"Why aren't you speaking? What are you thinking about?" Isabella tugged at his sleeve, asking softly.
"I was wondering, could you open your heart and fall in love with me?" But such tender words, Quinn couldn't utt

Many things could have been completely delegated to his subordinates, but Nathaniel insisted on taking them on himself. As his older sister, she was helpless.Perhaps, he was just accustomed to being busy, accustomed to always keeping himself in a state of work, so he didn't pay attention to anything else.Upon hearing Evelyn's words, Sophie's bright little face instantly dimmed, her head hung low as she silently walked forward, not wanting to utter another word.Nathaniel had clearly promised her that he would come earlier this year, so why didn't he come?Didn't he know that she had been waiting for him all along?She had been chasing him for a full thirteen years.Now that I had finally grown up, he avoided me. Why?Before this, she had tried to find him, but the military command was heavily guarded, not just anyone could get in.She couldn't even afford to take a distant glance at his back.She had also made countles

Compared to the warmth and harmony of the Ashton family, the Gray Group of Lunaris was in deep trouble.Seeing that the New Year was just around the corner, every household was busy preparing for the festival, yet the Gray family was shrouded in a cloud of gloom.Not only did they not have the mood to buy New Year's goods, they couldn't even afford to buy them.The stock price of the Gray Group had been falling repeatedly, leaving them at their wits' end. Now, the relevant authorities had suddenly come knocking.It was said that they had obtained reliable evidence, proving that over the years, the Gray Group had not only bribed certain officials, but also been involved in commercial crimes.The relevant departments had already launched a comprehensive investigation, and Benjamin was prohibited from entering or leaving the country during this period.As long as it was proven that all the evidence was true, what the Gray Group was about to fac

Alexander looked at Kason, snorted coldly, "After all, she is your biological daughter."Kason, however, remained silent, his emotionless gaze falling on Elena. He sneered, "Who told you she was my biological child?""Isn't she your biological daughter?" Alexander turned back to glance at Elena, who was unconscious on the ground, and added, "Whether you save her or not is up to you. After all, whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me."Leaving his words hanging, Alexander turned and walked away, as if Elena's life or death on the ground mattered less to them than a dog's.Kason watched Alexander's retreating figure, his fists clenched, eyes filled with ruthlessness, and sneered in his heart, "Young Master?"Alexander, oh Alexander, you damn well thought the Gray Group was still the Gray Group of the past, thinking how many people would come to flatter you?Once the Gray family fell, Alexander would also become a homeless dog.

"Then you shout with me." Isabella wanted to be willful for once, wanting to pull him into playing the fool with her, like a pair of silly husband and wife.Quinn frowned and remained silent. He would definitely not be willing to do something as childish as shouting at the sea.Isabella grabbed his arm and shook it, "You don't want to?"Quinn kept a straight face, still not uttering a word."Alright then. I won't force you." Isabella did understand Quinn to some extent. It was better for her to handle such matters and let him continue being the aloof CEO."Then I'm going to shout, okay?" She said again.Quinn nodded."Would it scare you if I screamed and lost my composure?" she asked again."No." He finally deigned to speak.Isabella smiled contentedly, "Exactly. I can only understand what you want to express if you speak up."Quinn's face fell again.Worried that he would turn and walk away if she teased h

Three days had passed in the blink of an eye.After entertaining their friends and relatives, the Ashton family was then at leisure.Over the past three days, everyone stayed at home, chatting and sharing interesting stories. The days were spent in a warm and comfortable manner.Today was New Year's Eve, and everyone in the Ashton family got up early. In the morning, they had the servants help with the final round of cleaning. After lunch, they gave them the rest of the day off.The Ashton family was very considerate of their servants, who also had their own families. Every year on New Year's Eve, they would give them time off to go home.In past years, on the New Year's Eve dinner, it was always Charles who accompanied Evelyn in the kitchen, with Sophie occasionally helping out.Griffin was an elder, and with his age, naturally he wouldn't do those things. He would look at the flowers in the garden and play with the birds.Quinn, on

Amidst laughter and cheer, the three younger members of the Ashton family received red envelopes from their elders.Isabella also gave the gifts she had prepared beforehand to everyone. The elders and Sophie all expressed that they really liked them.After all, Griffin was getting on in years, and it was no small feat for him to stay up this late. After receiving his gift, he had Quinn take him back to his room.Evelyn had once again pulled Isabella aside to give her a few reminders, then she and Charles had gone back to their room to rest first.As soon as the elders left, Sophie's face instantly turned gloomy. She nestled into the couch, staring blankly at a certain spot."Sophie, what's wrong?" Isabella, who had intended to go upstairs, couldn't help but express concern upon seeing Sophie's unusual state."Sister-in-law..." Sophie tilted her head back, letting out a long sigh before continuing, "Do you think that when you like someone, yo

Sophie had always been lively. Upon hearing Isabella's words, she sprang up and ran upstairs with a thud. As she ran, she said, "Sister-in-law, you should go back to your room quickly. If you don't, my brother will blame me for bothering you and will settle accounts with me another day."Sophie felt that her sister-in-law was absolutely right, if you like someone, you should boldly pursue them. Why sit around foolishly thinking so much?No matter how much she thought, Nathaniel, that annoying man, could never have known.She wanted to see him, to tell him in person that she liked him, wanted to be his bride, and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.Sophie went back to her room and changed into a beautiful outfit, then sent Nathaniel a message. "I'm going to wait for you at the entrance of Starbright Amusement Park, you must come to see me. If you don't come, I won't leave. I mean what I say, don't doubt me."After sending the message, Sop

After Sophie finished her medicine, Isabella quickly handed her the prepared candy, "Eat it quickly, don't suffer the bitterness."Sophie swallowed the candy in one gulp, speaking as she chewed, "Sister-in-law, how can you be so considerate? My brother must have stepped in some kind of dog shit luck to have married such a gentle and considerate wife like you.""Eating just one candy, and your mouth becomes this sweet." Isabella laughed as she took back the bowl, and then tapped Sophie's head."My mouth has always been sweet," said Sophie, snuggling up to Isabella. "Sister-in-law, since there's nothing to do, and my brother is busy in the study, why don't you stay here and chat with me? We can gossip about my brother.""What kind of gossip do you have about your brother?" Isabella was still very interested in this topic. It was impossible to know about his past from Quinn, so it wouldn't be bad to hear from Sophie.However, the always clever and qui

The weather was very hot today. Isabella was wearing a thin white maternity dress, with a dagger pressed against her side. With just a slight push, the dagger would pierce her abdomen, endangering her child—Thinking of this, Isabella felt both panic and confusion in her heart. She was so nervous that she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her body stiffened to the point where she dared not move at all.She didn't know why these people wanted to hold her hostage.For wealth?If that was the case, she could give them all the savings she had accumulated over the years, as long as it could ensure her and her child's safety.For revenge?If it was for revenge, then who would it be?Isabella was so nervous that her mind was a complete mess, she couldn't think of anyone who would bother her and her son at that time.She glanced up, just as a couple passed by their side, but no one noticed anything unusual.There were two se

Ashford understood very well why Qadir didn't step forward to do these things directly, but instead used him as a pawn.That was because Qadir wanted his wife to see his dark side, and couldn't bring Isabella, who stood in the sunshine, into his dark world.Back then, when Isabella came to him behind Qadir's back, wasn't it also in her heart that she didn't want to bring Qadir into the dark world?The couple was indeed very interesting. They would rather step into the dark world themselves, but both wanted to protect the other's lifetime of sunshine.***The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital, and Quinn hurriedly rushed in, carrying Isabella in his arms.Seeing his anxious look, Isabella reassured him, "It's just a little pain, it won't be a problem, don't worry too much."Quinn said in a deep voice, "Don't speak."Isabella.

Seed drill?No sooner had Isabella's words left her mouth than she felt a pain on her lips. Before she could react, she was forcefully kissed by Quinn.He forcefully and dominantly pried open her shell-like teeth, invaded her mouth, and compelled her to accept his assertive kiss."Uh—" Isabella swung her fists, pounding them one after another on his solid chest, "Bastard, let me go!"She muttered indistinctly, but Quinn paid her no mind, kissing her like a furious lion.His kiss was too dominant, and soon Isabella had no strength to struggle, but she was not one to give up easily.Isabella couldn't push him away, nor could she hurt him by hitting. This man was not only incredibly strong, but his muscles were also astonishingly solid.Isabella was so angry, perhaps even blinded by rage, that she thrust her hand into his suit collar and fiercely grabbed at his chest through his shirt.Quinn's body shuddered slightly, he qui

"I want to have a word with Elena alone," Isabella said."Then I'll go ahead and wait for Ms. Isabella. If you need anything, just call out." With that, Ashford turned around and walked away, leaving behind a smile.Isabella took a deep breath of cool air, returning once again to the window. In the room, Elena was quietly looking in the direction of the window, her gaze as silent as death.Isabella's gaze fell on Elena's face, looking at her unrecognizable face, she thought of many things from the past.Once upon a time, Elena was so radiant and dazzling. Back then, so many boys in their circle wanted to pursue her, but they were all gently rejected by her one by one.It was not until later that Isabella found out that Elena's heart had always been with Alexander, with marrying him as her lifelong pursuit."Are you here to mock me?" Elena suddenly burst into laughter. Her cold laughter was particularly eerie and terrifying in this quiet cour

Isabella didn't know why, but the nicer Quinn was to her, the more uneasy she felt. She was terrified that one day she would open her eyes and he would no longer be by her side, and she would never be able to find him again.If he hadn't been so good to her, even if one day he was no longer by her side, she would have been able to adapt to a new life quickly.But back then—Back then, she found herself increasingly reluctant to leave him. Even dreaming of him saying he wanted to break up would cause her such heartache.Although he said the breakup was in a dream, she still felt a lingering fear at this moment."Isabella, can you tell me what's on your mind?" Quinn asked, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, his gaze deep and profound.Isabella had been frequently distracted recently. Quinn knew she was hiding something in her heart, but he just couldn't guess what it was.She was still eating at that moment, and he was still by her s

"Wasn't it you?" The speaker turned back into Alexander, who stepped forward and grabbed her by the throat, "Izzy, we were once the closest people to you, yet you conspired with someone else to frame us.""I didn't--" Isabella tried to speak, but he choked her throat. Her face swelled up red, breathing became more and more difficult, and she couldn't utter a word."Isabella, do you know how sordid your birth was? Kason treated your mother like a plaything, giving her to other men, and it was under such unbearable circumstances that she conceived you.""Take another look at who Quinn is? He's Qadir, the one who controls the Grand Group. He's someone that many people can't reach. Now look at you, what's your status? What gives you the right to stand by his side, to take the place of his wife?""Did you think that carrying his child would keep him tied to you? Did you think his promises to you would always hold true?""The only reason he was still wit

It was precisely because Alexander had been escorting her all the way, and Kason's attitude towards Isabella was fairly good, that she could capriciously do what she wanted to do.During the college entrance examination, Isabella was admitted to the best university in Lunaris with the highest score, but that was Kason's wish, not hers. What she wanted to study was fashion design.Kason was very angry about this matter. In his rage, he punished her by not allowing her to eat dinner and, furthermore, made her stand as punishment.This matter was known to Alexander, who climbed over the wall from their villa, ascended a large tree to the upper floor of her house, and gave her the packed chicken legs and hot rice. "Izzy, eat quickly.""Alexander, you've always been the best to me." She took the lunch box, looking at him with a smile of pure joy."Who will treat you well if I don't?" Alexander said, not without pride, as he affectionately ruffled her ha
A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure Chapter 165 Their Past (1)
These past few days, due to health reasons, Isabella always got up relatively late, usually arriving at the studio around ten in the morning.Seeing her come in, Lila quickly poured her a glass of boiled water. She watched as she opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, she didn't say anything."Lila, are you trying to play charades with me?" They had been friends for so many years, how could Isabella not tell that Lila had something to say to her.Lila thought again, even if she didn't tell Isabella, but this matter was so big, Isabella would soon know. It would be better to let her say it, and it could also serve as a reminder to Isabella.She first helped Isabella sit down, then slowly asked, "Izzy, what is your current attitude towards Alexander?""Why did you suddenly mention that person?" Isabella asked.To be honest, all her thoughts had been on Quinn and the child for quite some time. She hadn't thought about those past events and
