A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 117 Some Will Remember
Aside from the haters, there were also people looking forward to Henry's new movie.The fans were brimming after their idols retweeted Henry's post. All of a sudden, the trending searches were flooded with their comments.Occasionally, there were a few comments that mentioned "The Search". But they eventually got swallowed up by hate comments."Am I the only one who's looking forward to 'The Search' instead? I feel like they spent more effort on the movie. I'm already tired of Henry's endless cliché romance movies.""Yup, you're the only one. You're just a hater. Who the heck is Dennis Yates? Never heard of him.""Stop taking advantage of Misty, won't you? I think it's about time for Ms. Emerson to stop butting into Misty's business.""What's wrong with romance movies? We like it, is there anything wrong with it? If you don't like it, then fuck off!"The fans of the famous celebrities were on another level. They were completely lashing out at the negative comments. And Henry's f

Cedric studied Vivian's face closely. She only had light makeup on and had her hair down. Given her current appearance, she really looked nothing like a prostitute. Instead, she resembled a pure and innocent college student. It seemed like Nathan had researched his taste in women. Cedric was quite satisfied. He wrapped his arm around Vivian, locking her in his embrace. As he grasped her chin, he asked, "Do you know who I am?""Is there even anyone who hasn't heard of you, Mr. Garner?" Vivian replied, giggling coquettishly. Ignoring the pain on her chin, she wrapped her arms around Cedric and planted a kiss on him. "I've been waiting for you, Mr. Garner.""Not bad," Cedric commented, obviously pleased. He cradled her waist as he asked in a hushed tone, "What's your name?""Just call me Vivian."Vivian leaned closely into him, her body smothered against his. She chuckled softly as she pleaded in a honeyed voice, "Mr. Garner, why don't we go to the room now? I'll make sure t

Tears trickled down Misty's face uncontrollably. She shook her head frantically. "Cedric, how could you say that? You—you've let me down …" Her heart throbbed. She was swamped with a wave of humiliation. Cedric's heart ached when he saw the state of distress she was in. But soon, his eyes flared with fury. "You're one to talk! Misty, why don't you look at all the disgusting shit you've done? I feel like throwing up the moment I lay eyes on you.""Cedric, why can't you just believe me?"Misty choked, sobbing sorrowfully. "I really didn't mean anything like that. What else do you want me to do? Do I have to stab myself to prove I'm innocent?"Vivian couldn't help but roll her eyes. Were they staging an act of unrequited love? She uttered tentatively, "Mr. Garner …"In a fit of rage, Cedric flung his fist on the wall. His bloodshot eyes glared at her. "Fuck off!"Vivian shuddered in fear. She dared not to utter another word and made her way out of the room hastily. Although

Oliver smirked like a mischievous child. "We have been contacting the sponsors who supported the development of western Hopeldon. So, we had a discussion today. Since you're usually very creative, I told you to come and join us too. Just in case you have some new ideas along the way."He turned around and introduced her to the rest of the room. "This is the wife of Mr. Winchester, who's also going to come in a bit. Her name's Hannah; she's a really talented young lady with lots of ideas. I referred to some of her ideas for my previous plan too."Was Darren coming as well? The other professors, who were also experts in their respective fields, smiled warmly at her. Soon, Hannah found herself chatting away with them. She was no longer intimidated by them and greeted them politely. She paid close attention to their discussion. In fact, she was well aware that she wasn't even qualified to join them. Oliver had asked her to come because he thought highly of her. He truly appreciated

The professor who asked the question looked a little awkward. Casting an apologetic glance in her direction, he smiled and said, "A person's academic credentials don't matter, as long as they're principled and upright members of society.""An academic transcript can't prove a person's capabilities." Oliver nodded and said, "The lack of a diploma only highlights your talents even more. Do you plan on resuming your studies?"His gaze was warm with his appreciation for Hannah's talents.Hannah always deeply respected dedicated academicians.She nodded in response and said, "Previously, because of a situation with my family, I had to stop my education halfway. I'm preparing to pick up where I left off. I hope to start my postgraduate studies during the summer next year.""When the time comes, you can consider applying to our school."Upon hearing Hannah's answer, Oliver could not resist smiling in surprise.At her age, it was already an achievement to be applying for postgraduate st
Last Updated : 2024-10-29A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 122 Who Are You
Misty's sobs died out as she lifted her head.The man in the white suit had a look of concern in his gentle eyes.When he saw her looking at him, he smiled and asked softly, "Are you alright? Is there anything I can help you with?"He was like an angel who'd descended from heaven.Misty abruptly realized how much of a mess she was right now. She took the handkerchief and roughly rubbed her eyes with it. Then, still in a daze, she allowed him to help her up."Regardless of the situation, a woman's tears are always precious."Even though her makeup was smudged from her crying, the fact that it was accompanied by the bruises on her neck made it easy for people to develop certain dark thoughts.Misty was surrounded by people who were either enjoying the spectacle or eyeing her scornfully. This man was the only one who took off his jacket and draped it around her.He said gently, "Don't cry. Nothing and no one is worth your tears."The jacket came with the elegant scent of cologne

Misty, who was hiding behind the corner of the wall, covered her mouth in shock. Her eyes were gleaming.Hannah had not slept with Darren yet?Even though Hannah kept parading her loving relationship with Darren in front of Misty's face and gloating smugly about it, their marriage had not been consummated yet.Misty was thrilled. She could not stop herself from smirking. After a while, she finally reined in her excitement and crept away.Thanks to Naomi's brainwashing, the innocent Nina became a little anxious, too. She could not resist tagging along with her unreliable sister. The two of them sneaked upstairs.Oliver could not resist good food.Due to his age, he should be avoiding fatty and salty food, but he could not resist digging into the hearty plate of roast beef on the table.Feeling quite helpless, Hannah had to do her best to stop him. She paid so much attention to him that she accidentally bit into a mango from the mango salad.Ever since she was a child, she had de
Last Updated : 2024-10-29A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 124 What Right Does She Have
It's astonishing that well-educated individuals with impressive resumes could make such absurd and condescending remarks.This was the unfortunate reality for women, especially those blessed with good looks. Their efforts were often overshadowed by their appearance, forcing them to work harder to earn the same recognition as their peers.Even Hedy Lamarr, the inventor of WiFi and Bluetooth, expressed her frustration at how people only seemed to notice her beauty.Female scholars were appalled by these patronizing comments. One graduate student couldn't resist condemning the gossip on Twitter while sharing a link to the newsletter.The tweet did not garner much traction until a tabloid news outlet spotted it. Hannah's name was a guaranteed attention-grabber for the tabloids that profited from it.The tabloid account promptly quote-tweeted the graduate student's rant with the caption, "What's your take on gender discrimination in academia?"The top comment was skeptical. It read, "

A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 827 The Bad Guy
Darren didn't let her off easily in the end. Darren, being in his prime years, had maintained his purity and had never been involved with other women. This was a great feat considering that Darren had managed to maintain his purity after being with her all this time. Having just celebrated their marriage, he had finally enjoyed some moments of satisfaction, only to face the complication with Erica. Lately, Hannah had been in low spirits. Darren wouldn't be so brutish as to insist on intimate matters with her when she was in such an emotional state. He had to suppress his desires.However, now she took the initiative to seduce him. For a man who had finally given in to his desires, it wasn't so easy to let go. Demonstrating his unyielding nature, Darren showed Hannah that he was not to be trifled with. Carefully timing his actions, he eventually released her. Hannah, now lying on the bed, had a gentle gaze with a faint blush on her face. Her cheeks rested on the pillo

Even with their current financial difficulties, the atmosphere between them remained harmonious and warm.The smile in Hannah's eyes deepened a bit.Finding her uncle was undoubtedly a joyous event for her. After all, they hadn't been in contact for so many years, and confirming that Elvis' family members were reasonable and good people made her even happier."Grandma has never given up looking for you all these years, Uncle Elvis."Hannah briefly shared her thoughts. "I thought of taking you and Lilian to see Grandma directly to prevent her from overthinking.""Of course! Of course!"Jennifer laughed and agreed. She said, "If it weren't for my poor health and being hospitalized, I would have gone to see her too."Things were settled.Jennifer still had one more dialysis session in the coming days. Thus, their meeting was scheduled three days later.Hannah and Darren didn't stay much longer. After arranging for Jennifer to move to a single room, they left.Before they took

Jennifee hadn't looked before, but as soon as she did, she was almost startled.Under the shock, she even failed to contain her voice and exclaimed in surprise, "Elvis?" Her husband, who rarely got involved in affairs and was always practical, was now standing up excitedly. His eyes were fixed tightly on the two entering the room. He seemed as though he was about to pounce on those people. Lilian was also stunned. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Elvis' hand, her face carrying a hint of embarrassment. She lowered her voice desperately and said, "Dad, what are you doing?" She sensed that the eyes of the entire ward had turned their way under Jennifer's exclamation. The extraordinarily good-looking couple also looked over. Her cheeks turned red. She felt both nervous and embarrassed. She forcefully tugged on Elvis' hand and whispered urgently, "Dad, hurry up and sit down." However, Elvis not only didn't sit down, but he took a step forward and called out
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 824 Lost In Thought
At Hopeldon's top hospital, Elvis sat by the bedside as he watched the summer breeze rustle through the leaves outside the window. A look of realization crossed his face. "Mom, I bought your favorite food."Just then, a clear and lively voice rang out. A girl with twin tails briskly entered the ward while carrying a meal with a smile on her face. "I was lucky to find discounted meat. I bought some. Mom, you have to eat more." The pale woman on the bed smiled faintly and nodded. "Okay, I'll eat more." After that, Jennifer noticed that Elvis, sitting on the side, was still staring blankly out of the window while lost in thought. Jennifer frowned. She said softly, "Elvis, set up the table. It's time for lunch. Elvis. Elvis?" "Huh?"Elvis suddenly snapped out of his reverie. Noticing both his wife and daughter looking at him, he forced a smile. He rubbed his hands and stood up. "Lilian, did you bring the food back already? Let's have lunch then!" "Dad, what ha
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 823 Look at Me
She gently touched the scars on her face through the veil and then, with a sweet smile, began typing on the keyboard. "It would be great if I could help you. I'll be waiting for you to marry me!"As she replied to the message, her phone vibrated again. Robert asked with concern, "How did you get hold of these documents? Are you in any danger? Your safety is the most important thing!"Seeing his genuine concern, Misty felt even more convinced that her choice was right. The smile on her face seemed impossible to fade. She had done her research lately. Cosmetic surgery here was not particularly advanced, and her facial scars wouldn't be perfectly repaired even with surgery. Meanwhile, Arovia was renowned for its excellent plastic surgery industry. Although dealing with her facial scars would be troublesome, new technology could provide a complete recovery. The only deterrent was the daunting cost. No matter how regretful Matthew might feel, he wouldn't spend such a large s
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 822 Unwrapping the Gift
She was even draped in a thin windbreaker that covered her from head to toe.Despite the light and thin fabric, it was an autumn windbreaker. Wearing it seemed unsuitable for the current season. "The car and the house both have air conditioning. How could I get heatstroke?" Misty's smile widened. Her fingers entwined around the belt of the windbreaker at her waist and gently pulled it twice. She spoke softly, "But since you want to see what's inside, I'll take it off, okay?" Following that, she pulled off her belt before Cedric. The fabric of the windbreaker was silky. After the belt came off, she shuddered, and the windbreaker slipped down from her shoulders. She wore a semi-sheer dress that draped over her skin, gently showcasing the contours of her figure in a subtle and alluring way. Then, she raised her hand and took off her hat. Her long hair was neatly arranged behind her head, revealing her forehead and a pair of seemingly innocent eyes. Below her eye
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 821 So Ungrateful
Just as she wished, Cedric felt an immediate dryness in his mouth. As the male protagonist in the book, he had indeed lived a smooth life without experiencing many setbacks.He was always the object of admiration by others since he was young.When had he ever bowed his head to anyone? Even when he failed in the competition for the heir of Garner Group, he remained the second young master of the company. No one dared to say much in front of him. Only Diana was different.Since that day, Diana had suddenly become completely different. The way she looked at him no longer held admiration, but instead, it was cold, as if she was scrutinizing him. Although she still lived with him and would occasionally show him her gentle side, that sense of discordance grew stronger. The previous Diana used to be completely submissive to him. She would believe and actively solve all his problems. But now?He seemed to have become a plaything in her hands.He was summoned at will a
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 820 Do You Miss Me?
He was just a poor guy with nothing but debt to his name.He had tried to recover his past memories and find his roots.He had been searching for decades, and even after getting married and having a daughter, he continued searching while struggling for a living.He never expected that just when he was gradually forgetting about this matter, life would suddenly take a new turn.This seemed a bit too dramatic. He wiped his face in silence before saying, "Of course, no problem. Not only did you guys just help me, but finding my family has also been a long-standing wish of mine. I'm willing to cooperate with whatever you need me to do." He hesitated for a moment and then added in a low voice, "I believe your wife's grandmother is really old, am I right? From what you just said, it seems her health is not great. Maybe we shouldn't disturb her before getting the results." He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm in my prime. Even if the outcome disappoints me, it's fine. But old people

Hannah didn't expect him to also have felt a sense of familiarity.Upon hearing that, she felt her heart skip a beat, feeling like the truth was gradually coming to the surface.She actually looked a lot like Eleanor.If the middle-aged man was really her uncle, even if he had been lost since childhood, wouldn't he still have memories of his biological sister's appearance?"May I ask if you are a native of Hopeldon? Were you born here?"She pursed her lips, staring at him before asking in rapid succession, "Who else is in your family? Are your parents still alive?"She asked many questions in one breath, sounding urgent and nervous.For someone she had only met for the second time, asking such questions seemed overly intrusive and might make people uncomfortable.But she couldn't care less now.Finding her uncle had been her grandmother's wish for many years.As she grew older, Hannah didn't want her to have any regrets in this life.The middle-aged man was also a little sur
