After a night of commotion, her stomach was undoubtedly empty.

She peered into the refrigerator for a moment.

She grinned and turned her eyes to Darren. "Mrs. Tate froze some hand pies. How about we bake them and enjoy some pies?"

"Sure."

Darren's throat moved slightly, and his gaze rested on her face.

They only had one light on in the corridor, casting a warm glow on Hannah's face, giving her a soft, warm edge.

The distance between them was close enough for him to see the tiny hairs on her cheeks easily.

With just a slight tilt of his head, it felt as if he could effortlessly kiss her and savor her beauty.

Hannah brought the frozen pies into the kitchen.

Soon, with the aroma wafting in the air, she presented the baked pies.

The tempting aroma filled the previously empty kitchen, creating a lively atmosphere. The dim light also accentuated her gentleness.

A strand of hair fell from her ear. Darren's heart tingled, and he took a step forward, carefully tucking it behind he

    Darren's surging emotions eventually transformed into a restrained and concealed kiss. He lowered his eyes and exchanged a lingering kiss with her. Finally, he awkwardly went for a cold shower.Hannah leaned against the dressing table, unable to stop laughing, earning Darren a helpless yet indulgent look. When Darren finally regained his composure and came out, she had already fallen asleep on the bed.The bedside lamp gently illuminated her face, giving it a soft and serene appearance, like a sleeping beauty awaiting her prince's kiss.After silently watching, Darren gently climbed into bed as the light went out.Her slightly cool and smooth body nestled close to him as she chuckled, "Mr. Winchester, are you playing by the rules?" Darren forcefully closed his eyes, but his hands, seemingly with a mind of their own, held her tightly. After a while, he restrained himself and whispered, "Stop teasing me, go to sleep." His voice was filled with restraint. Hannah chuckled

    The bag in his hand seemed familiar.Wasn't that ... the one Erica carried before?Without thinking, Hannah raised her hand to stop the man. She furrowed her brows as she asked, "Hello, I'm here to find Erica. Does she live here?"The man's expression changed abruptly. "Erica? I've never heard of her. I don't know who you're talking about. There's no one like that here. You've come to the wrong place!"His poor choice of words made Hannah suspicious, and she was about to inquire further when a door from the nearby small courtyard swung open. A plump middle-aged woman carrying a water basin greeted the man, smiling. "Jady, are you heading to class? Where's Erica? Tell her to come to my place …"The man's expression changed instantly as he clutched the bag.Not sure if he was feeling guilty, he bolted.Without hesitation, Hannah kicked him in the abdomen. She expressed with a touch of coldness, "Where are you going?""I'm running late for class! I'm going to be late!" He look

    "Mrs. Winchester!"The pain from yesterday's beating hadn't subsided when another round of agony surged as Carson spoke, "It's not what you think ... I paid! I really paid! It was her boyfriend who asked me to be with her!""Scum! How dare you force a woman to do that against her will?"Hannah's eyes grew colder, and she mercilessly slapped him twice. She then said, "I'll beat you half to death, and then I'll pay your medical bills. How about that?"The sound of two slaps left Carson's face even more damaged. Not satisfied, Hannah lifted her foot and kicked him, sending the big man flying two or three meters and crashing into a table.The table toppled, spilling its contents all over the floor.Carson felt as if his body was falling apart. He wailed in pain as he sprawled on the scattered items.Jadon was scared to bits as he witnessed everything from the doorway. This woman was just too terrifying!"Where do you think you're going?"Hannah quickly approached him, and ange

    Call the police?Erica was stunned, unsure of how to react for a moment."No! You can't call the police!"Jadon's expression immediately changed upon hearing this. He resembled a squirming worm on the ground as he crawled to Erica."Erica, please don't call the police! I have to go to college. If you do, I'm done! I was just impulsive ... I know I was wrong. Erica, please forgive me!" he pleaded, completely disregarding his bleeding ear.Erica's expression was complex as she looked down at the man who had always looked down on her.They were lovers from the same village. Erica and Jadon escaped from a household that favored males over females. With dreams of a sweet future together, she worked tirelessly to support him through school, believing that their hardships were temporary.Afraid he would be looked down upon, she bought him clothes and shoes worth hundreds of dollars.

    Carson's face turned pale as he lay on the ground and played dead.He anxiously stared at Hannah's fair face, now splattered with specks of blood.She seemed like a demon emerging from hell. She exuded a murderous aura. No, this could not be happening! He was hurting all over, and witnessing Jadon's miserable state only intensified his trembling fear.With the final punch delivered to Jadon's stomach, he rolled over, unable to control a bout of vomiting, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Two white molars soaked in saliva floated in the blood.Carson dry-heaved. He wouldn't be able to bear such pain."Jadon, you asshole! Don't blame me for your dirty deeds!" Carson shouted while holding his aching stomach.He turned to Hannah and desperately said, "No, Mrs. Winchester! No, I mean Ms. Emerson! Hear me out! I admit, I'm lustful and a dirty old man! But ... But this Jadon is the true culprit here!"To avoid getting beaten, Carson threw caution to the wind, loudly shouting out

    When she decided to go all out, what in this world could stop her? She wasn't afraid of him!After being slapped more than a dozen times in a row, Carson's eyes flashed angrily. The girl who used to be timid and submissive seemed different now. A numbness in his eyes turned into anger, making him more alive.After mumbling a few times, he didn't dare to get angry and shrank into a bundle. It did not matter.Jadon was even more miserable than him."Hannah." Erica straightened up, taking a long breath. The stifling frustration in her couldn't seem to be released. She said with a touch of self-mockery and sadness in her eyes, "Call the police.""Erica, you can't call the police!" Jadon suddenly bounced up, desperately trying to reach out and grab her."Thud!"Hannah raised her foot, nonchalantly kicking him away, frowning and saying, "Stay away from her!"This disgusting man didn't deserve to be near her.Erica glanced at Hannah gratefully, then turned her eyes to Jad

    "Are you done?"At this moment, a clear and cold female voice rang out.Erica looked up in the direction of the voice.Standing before her was a graceful and slender figure, exuding a unique feminine gentleness.Yet, there was no trace of timidity. Her posture was upright, elegant, and resolute.It was the kind of demeanor that people yearned to have.Hannah's gaze contained a sharpness that made it difficult to look directly at as she confronted the gossiping women with a cold smile. "If you're really that curious, why not follow us to the police station and get the full story?" she asked.Having lived in the slums for so long, she already knew what these people were like.The people there were always gossipy, vulgar, and adhering to ingrained beliefs.When a woman faced difficulties, it was often assumed that it was due to her dressing too provocatively or adorning herself too extravagantly.If her boyfriend or husband beat her, it had to be because she wasn't good enough f

    "What do you think he is, a good person?"Hannah didn't mince words as she dropped several bombshells with a scornful smile. "He's been mingling with classmates outside, just waiting to graduate and get married, to kick Erica away. He's a heartless animal!"The women were instantly stunned."This guy is such garbage!""Erica works hard day and night to earn money to support him, and he turns out to be like this?""Isn't that illegal? I knew this guy wasn't a good person.""He doesn't even know how to be grateful; it's outrageous!"The women gathered together and muttered for a while.Besides satisfying their gossiping desires, they also surrounded Erica and expressed their anger, "Erica, how can you be so easily bullied? You should have given him a piece of your mind long ago!"Erica stared blankly with wide eyes.She couldn't understand why the women who were just blaming her suddenly changed their attitudes.Her neighbor, one of the women who always tried to take advantage

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

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.

    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
