Quinn raised his brow. His eyes were dark under the golden-rimmed glasses.He was the CEO of the Grand Group. Many people tried hard to meet him but failed.However, in her eyes, he wasn't as important as a dog and 100 dollars.For the first time, he had felt that he was neglected. It made him feel bad."Woof woof..." Misty barked at that time, showing her resistance and dissatisfaction.Isabella hurried to cover her mouth. "Misty, be quiet. Let me talk to him. He's a decent man and won't be unreasonable."Quinn looked at them. After a while, he said in a low voice, "I don't hate her or want you to sell her."Isabella was surprised.Quinn said, "Now that she's your pet, I will try to accept her."Isabella pressed her lips. "Thank you!"Quinn said nothing more. He ate breakfast gracefully and went out to work as usual.Isabella wanted to talk to him, but she held her words back several times. He could be really cold, which was daunting.At noon, Isabella needed to improve the proposal
Quinn started the car after touching his mouth gently. A light smile touched his calm eyes. Isabella finally behaved like 3 years ago.The car drove out of the parking lot slowly and soon ran on a noisy road with other cars in the city. But it was so quiet in the car that even their breathing could be heard.Isabella sat straight and looked outside the window, not daring to look at him. But she couldn't help peeking at him.He drove seriously without looking around as if nothing had happened.Isabella pouted and snorted secretly, thinking, "What a cold man!"Half an hour later, the car stopped before a tall building named Celestial Tower.Quinn threw his car key to a lobby manager and walked into the hall with Isabella.Celestial Tower was 68-story. It used to be the tallest building in Astraea as well as the landmark of Northbay.It was located in the downtown area of the city. There were many people and cars. The buildings here were all. The revolving restaurant on the top floor of
Isabella looked up and saw him cutting the steak elegantly without making a noise. It was pleasant to the eye.In contrast, her table manners were terrible, which she hadn't realized before.Quinn cut the steak and pushed the plate towards her. "You first."Isabella smiled, "Thank you!"Eating the steak cut by him, Isabella felt so happy. She hadn't felt this way for a long time.After the meal, she was full. And the wine was almost finished. She felt a bit dizzy.She could hold her liquor. But today, she felt drunk after finishing a bottle of wine with Quinn.Isabella thought, "Maybe that's because of the atmosphere."She was sitting in a restaurant where she could enjoy the beautiful night view of Northbay and melodious music. Besides, she had a meal with a handsome who was her husband. Even such a lovely meal could get her drunk.She smiled, "Quinn, thank you for this romantic meal."Quinn smiled significantly and said in a deep and sexy voice, "You should thank Ava. She arranged e
Quinn then stroked Isabella's head. "You gotta have a thought before you do it, no matter what it is. Otherwise, you won't make anything work. When I hire people, one thing I look for is their imagination."At this moment, he sounded like a superior, which made Isabella feel that she was taking a walk with an aloof CEO, not her husband.However, Isabella didn't mind even if Quinn did speak from the perspective of a corporate leader.She just felt so happy that there was a person who was willing to listen to her wild thoughts.Isabella continued, "I'll never make that much money in my life. Even if I get so lucky and win the lottery one day, the government won't approve my project."Isabella knew very well that was only an idea of hers and she wouldn't be able to take it further; it was just like a beautiful dream, which she couldn't turn into reality forever.Isabella sounded upset, but Quinn didn't say any comforting words. He just held her hand tighter.At the same time, Quinn notic
Before Isabella could say "hello", she was so shocked by the other person in front of her that she choked her words.Everett was not the only one in his office. There was also a tall man in a black suit.The man stood in front of the broad floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, and his shallow tender eyes fell gently on Isabella.Isabella and he looked at each other quietly, and no one looked away.After a lapse of three years, Isabella thought she wouldn't feel anything when she saw this man again, but it turned out that she was wrong.Seeing this once familiar face, Isabella felt that all the bad memories poured into her heart like a tide, tearing up her newly healed scar brutally. And she felt as if scarlet blood flowed slowly out of her heart.Isabella wanted to turn around and leave, but the heavy pain of the past dragged her so hard that she could not move at all. She could only watch the man in front of her.After staring at Isabella for a long time, the man wa
Alexander smiled and said very firmly, "I know you can't bear to hurt me. I always do. You love me so much. How could you bear to hurt me?"Isabella didn't want to hurt him, as she wanted to leave as soon as possible and never wanted to see his face again. It wasn't like what the man claimed."Izzy..."When Alexander reached out to Isabella again, she raised the ashtray and smashed it at his head without hesitation.His forehead was cut open, and blood was trickling down his forehead. However, he looked at Isabella as if he wasn't in pain at all and smiled still, "Izzy, I know you are still mad at me. You can hit me for as long as you want. Yet after you calm down, come back with me."The cut on his forehead was deep, and blood was trickling down to his face, body, and hands, but Alexander ignored it. It seemed that he only cared about Isabella.Isabella was frightened. She screamed while feeling furious, "Alexander Gray, you lunatic! What the heck do you want?"Alexander suddenly gri
Quinn pressed Isabella firmly into his arms and stroked her back with his thick palms softly. "I'm sorry. I'm late," he said.Isabella had never expected Quinn to show up at this time. For a moment, she felt that her nose was a bit sore, and tears rolled in her eyes.Yet she would not allow herself to show weakness. She looked up at him and smiled, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be back until tomorrow? Why are you back early?"Quinn could tell that she was merely acting tough, yet he didn't expose her. He simply exerted more force on his arms. "I came to take you home."Isabella pushed him and lifted her head from his arms. "I've hurt someone, so I can't go back with you now. Go back to your business. I'll be fine."She knew Alexander well. He would calm down after her being locked up for a few days, and nothing big would happen.On the contrary, if she let Quinn get her out now, it would be the same as a slap in Alexander's face. In such a way, she wouldn't even dare to think about the
On the way back, Isabella tried several times to talk to Quinn to let him know how serious it was, yet the second she opened her mouth, she got frightened because of Quinn's cold gaze, and she shut up.When they got home, she tugged at his sleeve and said very carefully, "Quinn, listen to me for once. OK? Just stay out of this. It's really out of your hands."Quinn looked at her, reached over, cupped the back of her head, made her look into his eyes, and said softly, "Isabella, trust me."Such a few words coming from him seemed to carry constant power, injected into Isabella's body bit by bit slowly, and even her face wasn't that pale.Isabella looked at him, pressed her lips, and said cautiously, "Quinn, why didn't you ask me why I was locked up in the police station?"Quinn stroked her face and said, feeling a bit distressed, "Whatever the reason is, Isabella, you just need to remember that you've got me."He knew about her three years ago and was even kind of involved.The bastard
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
