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
Looking at Ashford's unfathomable smile, Elena no longer spoke, covering the fierce gaze she had accidentally revealed, her eyes once again becoming a sea of silence.She was too naive, having gone through so much, she still thought someone would help her, she even thought she could rely on a man to accomplish what she wanted to accomplish.Her relationship with this Mr. Ashford was merely one of mutual use, it could be said that there was absolutely no affection involved.By now, she had given him everything that the Gray Group was supposed to give him. She was no longer of any use to him, so how could he possibly help her?He would show up here today, most likely to watch the drama unfold, to see how deeply she was hurt, to see if she could still survive.If she had collapsed then and there, he feared that would have been the outcome he wanted to see, because in that case, he could have swallowed up the twenty percent that belonged to her.
The majority of the month seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.In recent days, the temperature in Northbay had risen, with the sun shining brightly every day, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.After having lunch, Evelyn took Isabella and Sophie to sit in the garden to bask in the sun and chat.Evelyn patted Isabella's hand and said, "Izzy, we're going back to Althera tomorrow. From now on, it'll just be you and Quentin in Northbay. You two must get along well.""Mom, you should have said these words to my brother. If they had a quarrel, it must have been because my blockhead of a brother didn't know how to make his wife happy," Sophie chattered, interrupting the conversation."I wanted to talk to him, but could I find the time to do so? As soon as the seventh day of the New Year passed, he started to get busy with work, leaving early and returning late every day. I couldn't even catch a glimpse of him, let alone find an opportuni
After nightfall, Isabella went to bed early again.She had slept the entire afternoon, and it was Sophie who woke her up for dinner. Even after eating, she still couldn't muster any energy, so she went back to her room to sleep again.She didn't know how long she had slept, she heard the sound of the room opening, heard Quinn's footsteps, so light they were almost inaudible.She was drowsy and really wanted to sit up and talk to him, but she was just too lazy to move.She felt him approach, felt him standing by the bed, his gaze burning into her. He stared at her for a long time before he finally turned and went to the bathroom.Afterwards, Isabella was half-asleep when she heard him coming out of the bathroom. She lifted her head and asked, "Working late again?""Hmm." He came to her side and lay down, pulling her into his arms and bending down to kiss her."I'm so tired," Isabella didn't hide, but she didn't have the energy to engag
After work, Isabella went straight to the pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test.After leaving the pharmacy, she used her phone to look up some precautions for using pregnancy test sticks online.Google said, it's best to use the first morning urine when using a pregnancy test stick, as the hormone levels are easiest to detect at this time.Since there was no rush, she decided to wait another night, hoping to see good news in the morning's check-up.Just as I was thinking, Quinn's call came in again.She picked up, only to hear his deep, sexy voice. "Off work?"Isabella nodded, "Yes, I just got off work and was about to take a taxi home."Quinn said, "Look back."Isabella looked back and saw Quinn's car not far behind her. She subconsciously tightened her grip on her bag, unsure of how long Quinn had been there. Had he seen her go into the pharmacy to buy things?"What happened?""How long, how long have you been h
Isabella's hand, holding the pregnancy test, was trembling slightly. It took her a long time to suppress her excitement.No, pregnancy tests might not always be accurate. She had to go to the hospital for a check-up. She would only tell Quinn after she was one hundred percent sure.Isabella declined Quinn's offer to drive her to the studio because she needed to go to the hospital first.Upon arriving at the hospital and after a long wait, it was finally Isabella's turn. After the examination, when the doctor personally confirmed that she was pregnant, Isabella was so moved that she shed tears of joy."Mom, did you see? Izzy has her own child now, you have a grandchild. If you were here, you would definitely be especially happy for Izzy, wouldn't you?"She stood at the entrance of the hospital, gazing up at the sky, silently mouthing words, as if she could see Johanna smiling at her.Isabella was still basking in joy when her phone suddenly r
"Slendish name was Qadir!""Slendish name was Qadir!""Slendish name was Qadir!"Isabella kept repeating the words Griffin had said, suddenly wanting to laugh, laughing at her own stupidity. She had been with Quinn for such a long time, yet she didn't even know his true identity.Once, he had also told her, but under those circumstances, she took it as if he was joking with her. Plus, she had seen the so-called photos of Qadir on the internet, how was she supposed to believe that he was Qadir?In fact, she didn't wish for him to have such a prominent status. She only hoped that he was an ordinary man, with an ordinary job.She didn't need him to earn a lot of money, because she could earn money herself. The money they both earned together was enough to live a modest life.She didn't need to live in any grand mansion, even if it was just renting a house, as long as the man with her was him, she would feel very happy.But the fac
Isabella continued, "Others may look down on me, but I will never look down on myself. I've always believed that I'm not inferior to anyone. I also believe that the man who truly understands and appreciates me will definitely come to my side.""Izzy, you've always been excellent in my heart, better than so many others." Lila's words were not to comfort Isabella, she had always believed that Isabella was the best in her heart.It was precisely because I knew how excellent Isabella was, what a worthwhile friend she was to make.Back in the day, when such an incident happened to Isabella, she would unhesitatingly accompany her to Northbay. The two of them started a business together, planning a beautiful future."Lila, rest assured, there's nothing that can truly challenge me," Isabella said with a gentle laugh, pausing for a moment before continuing, "In my view, happiness isn't something that comes from waiting, but from striving. Once you've obtained it,
On the way back, Quinn didn't speak anymore, and Isabella remained silent as well.She thought a lot, reflecting on the bits and pieces of the past few months.Quinn, the man who usually spoke little, had hardly ever chatted with her casually, but he could make her feel at ease, could make her feel warmth.He had said, they were all adults, those so-called loves were not realistic.He had said, no matter what happens, don't propose a breakup lightly.He also said that she was the woman he wanted to spend his life with.He didn't say many nice things, so she remembered every word he had ever said.Even if there was no love between them, she believed that he was the man she wanted to spend her life with.What Isabella thought about the most was what Griffin had said to her today.She understood very well that Griffin didn't want her to be with Quinn because her birth was so disgraceful.Her birth was not something s
How Quinn wished she would say more! He had so many things he wanted to tell her, he wanted to know how she had spent these past three years.He wanted to tell her that their Izzy II was already three years old, very cute and sensible, and sometimes quite a handful.But all of these, he couldn't tell her now.Or, didn't know how to start.His wife, his Isabella, she no longer remembered their past."Iris?" Quinn repeated her Slendish name a few times, laughing, "Iris is a very nice and interesting name, the goddess of starry night in mythology. I suppose your Celestian name must also be very nice."Suddenly hearing someone ask for her Celestian name, Iris couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. After a moment's hesitation, she still said, "I fell seriously ill two years ago and forgot everything from before. My father didn't tell me my Celestian name, but he calls me Izzy."- Izzy.The tip of the tongue touched the lower teet
The rapidly descending elevator suddenly got stuck and did not continue to descend.The scream in the elevator stopped abruptly, but Isabella's fists did not. She seemed to be greatly frightened, treating the person holding her as a ferocious beast.Quinn held her tightly, constantly comforting her, "Isabella, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay, it's okay, I will never let anything happen to you again, never again—"Three years ago, he lost her and he has been filled with regret ever since.If he were to encounter her now, no matter the cost, he would absolutely not let her suffer the slightest harm again. No one could hurt her anymore.Quinn held Isabella tightly, instructing, "Anyone with a phone, take it out for lighting, and immediately press the emergency button to notify the property management."Hearing his calm voice, the trapped people in the elevator were like they had taken a sedative, no one made a fuss o
Because there was hope, there were countless disappointments.This time, Quinn did not act immediately, but quietly watched the woman, whose silhouette resembled that of his Isabella, walk further and further away.Just as she turned the corner and disappeared from his line of sight, Quinn could no longer care about anything else, and he rushed out of the crowd surrounding him.Regardless of whether that person was his Isabella or not, even if the truth would disappoint him, he still wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.He would rather be disappointed again than miss any opportunity that might lead him to her.Quinn suddenly ran off, and for reasons unknown, everyone else followed him."Mr. Ashton..."The one who called out to him was Braylon. After finishing the matters here, there was still a very important meeting waiting for him. He had no time to delay."Don't follow me," Quinn said without turning his head.As s
The StylePulse Show was world-class. After the event, not only did the models' value skyrocket, but the attention received by the backstage designers also significantly increased.Although the designers did not have as much exposure in front of the audience as the models, their status in the fashion industry was far higher than that of the models, and those who won awards were extremely popular for a time.After Iris won the award, there wasn't much change in her life, because her father managed all her affairs. She just needed to draw her design drafts, and life was still very comfortable.On the third day of arriving at Northbay, Kason had already accepted an announcement for Iris, it was an interview program for a fashion segment on a certain TV station in Northbay.Designers always worked behind the scenes, and Iris had never made a public appearance over the years. Suddenly hearing such news, she was resistant internally. However, when she saw the ho
Quinn looked in the direction Izzy II was pointing, but still saw nothing, finally shaking his head in frustration.What has been going on with him recently?Even seeing a simple heart-shaped band-aid, or hearing some childish words from Izzy II, he could associate everything with Isabella."Daddy, Izzy was hungry, she wanted to eat red strawberries and sweet chocolate." Izzy II raised her little hands to hold her father's face, and said seriously with a soft voice.Soon, Izzy II could no longer remember Izzy I who had just helped her, she was just craving for delicious food."Does Izzy want to eat?" Looking at his daughter's twinkling big eyes, Quinn couldn't help but lean down and kiss her rosy cheeks."Kiss for five hundred bucks." Izzy II spread her hands, said softly, "Daddy, give money."Quinn asked, "Does Izzy want money? Or does she want strawberries?"Hearing her father's words, Izzy tilted her little head and blinked
The little girl first looked at Iris with a shocked expression, then stretched out her hand, pointing at Iris, "You are Izzy I," then pointed at herself, "I am Izzy II." Then she made a "2" with her chubby little hand, "We, two Izzys!"Izzy II looked so adorable that Izzy I couldn't help but laugh out loud, "So Izzy II, why aren't your family members with you?"Such a lovely child was left here just like that. If it weren't for her conscience, Iris really wanted to take this child home and raise it herself."Tania was over there, and so was Ethan," Izzy II pointed behind her, not far off. There stood a woman and several bodyguards, their gaze fixed intently in this direction. Not a single move escaped their watchful eyes.Iris understood in an instant, it wasn't that no one was watching her, but rather, there were too many people watching her. Perhaps the little one didn't want so many people following her, so those people could only watch her from a dist
Iris had spent the past three years, the years she could remember, living in the city of Serenova. She had grown accustomed to the pace of life and the environment in this city. She particularly loved the city's fashionable atmosphere and deep down, she didn't want to return to her home country to develop her career.But her father was very good to her, he gave a lot for her.Her mother passed away early, and her father, in order to take care of her, did not remarry. It could be said that he devoted all his thoughts and efforts to her throughout his life.Her father, in order to take care of her, had almost given up his own life, placing all his hopes on her. He gave her enough space and trust, allowing her to excel in the field she loved.This kindness, Iris had no way to repay. So, now that her father was old and wanted to return to his birthplace, she had no reason not to accompany him.Fortunately, the nature of her job was relatively flexible.
The StylePulse Show concluded, with Iris winning both the Newcomer Award and the Best Fashion Award, becoming the first young designer in the history of the StylePulse Show to win both the Newcomer Award and the Best Fashion Award.As Iris received the trophy, she also got a substantial amount of prize money. More importantly, she finally achieved her life's dream of becoming a designer recognized by professionals.For Iris, the most important thing was that, once she had status and position, she could naturally earn more and more money. Then, she could live in a bigger house with her father and lead a better life.Three years ago, Iris had suffered from a severe illness. After recovering from the illness, she had forgotten all her previous memories, she didn't even know who she was.Fortunately, her father was by her side, helping her recover her previous memories, and also helped her rediscover her talent for fashion design, which enabled her to achieve
Arriving at Misty's little house, at first glance of Misty, Quinn could hardly recognize it.In just a short period of absence, Misty, who was originally as fat as a round ball, had suddenly lost a lot of weight, becoming quite thin and flat.It lay in its little house, weak and powerless, looking as if it could take its last breath at any moment."Misty..." Quinn crouched beside it, calling it softly while reaching out to stroke its head."Woof woof--" Upon hearing Quinn's voice, Misty struggled to open its eyes. Its eyeballs rolled around, seemingly glistening with tears."Misty, don't be afraid. Daddy has called the doctor, and the doctor will be here soon." Quinn picked it up, holding it carefully in his arms."Woo woo--" Misty whimpered again, shaking its little head gently, as if saying it didn't want to see the doctor, it wanted to leave with its mother. But its mother was no longer there, and there was no point in it staying. It want
