"I'll be good." Misty nodded obediently. Her lashes were still wet from the tears.Like a clingy kitten, she left gentle kisses on his neck as she sobbed wrongfully, "Cedric, are you really going to marry Ms. Sorsby?"Her eyes became red again. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she cried in silence."It's—It's not like I'm jealous … It's just that I—I've always dreamed of becoming your bride one day."I'm just a little bit sad that I can't marry you now … Just a teeny, weeny bit sad."She extended her thumb and her index finger, gesturing how little it was.She seemed pitiful, yet adorable."What a silly girl." Cedric's heart was about to melt at this sight.He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her tears away. He smiled and asked teasingly, "Are you really just a little bit sad?"Misty widened her eyes and stared at him hesitantly. She extended the distance between her two fingers and sobbed softly, "Actually, it's a bit more than this … Cedric, I'm so greedy, aren't I?"
Embarrassment flashed across Cedric's eyes."Ana, I know this is absurd … but the situation is exactly as you said it is. Believe me!"He tried to reach Diana's hand as he explained in haste, "Ana, you know I only love you! Why would I cheat on you?""Yeah, I have the same question as well. Why would you cheat on me?" Diana scoffed and proceeded to slap his hand violently away from her.Backing off, she snapped, "But I'm more curious about this. Just what kind of script have you plotted for yourself that both sisters fell for you? Cedric, do you think I'm a fool?""Ana, I—" Cedric was reluctant to give up, attempting to explain again.However, Diana had no mercy. She delivered a harsh slap to his face right away."No wonder Ms. Emerson always goes for a slap in the face. It's indeed more refreshing." Diana let out a light chuckle and stared at him sarcastically."You did a great job pretending to be goody-two-shoes before me, Cedric! You were leeching off me, yet you were still
Cedric's expression changed dramatically. Instinctively, he started to explain, "Ana, things aren't like what you saw.""Cedric, don't take me for a fool!" Diana sneered and glared at him with disdain. "I've come to tell you that we're over!""Ana …" Cedric's eyes widened.No, he still needed the Sorsbys to contend with Sheila. He couldn't afford to lose her now."Ms. Sorsby, plea—please don't be mad at Cedric. He only said those just to coax me …"Misty's eyes flickered as she sobbed bitterly and pleaded, "I know you probably hate me a lot. I'll leave. I won't bother you anymore. Please forgive Cedric!"She was crying bitterly, looking so pitiful. Cedric's heart throbbed at the sight, yet he could only endure it and pretend to be unbothered.He chirped in and said, "Ana, I'll cut all ties with her. I'm really sorry, please give me another chance …""Oh, you both are so sweet and considerate, isn't it?" Diana's gaze swept past them as she mocked.She sneered and said, "You guy
Not unaware of Cedric's fierceness, Hannah remained expressionless and revealed a sly smile. "There is no need for Mr. Garner to worry."He was just a man who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Wasn't he the one who wanted to lay hands on her first? After she gave him a beating, he behaved properly.Men like Cedric needed to be dealt with ruthlessly. They had to be beaten until they learned how to be decent human beings.Unsure of what Hannah was thinking about, Cedric felt an inexplicable chill on his back.With nowhere to vent his anger, he didn't linger any longer. He gave Hannah another look and turned to leave."Hannah Emerson, you will regret this!"A glint of resentment and envy flashed in Misty's eyes. Stomping her foot, she said, "Let's wait and see."After saying this, she adjusted her expression and chased after Cedric, "Cedric, wait for me."Seeing the two leave, Hannah shook her head with a wry smile.Only losers need to boast before they depart.Seeing the
Upon hearing these words, Kesha's cheeks flushed slightly, revealing a hint of embarrassment. She coughed lightly and tried to maintain her composure.Kesha then said with a smile, "It was thanks to Mr. Westwood."The significant change in her image seemed to be related to Dennis.Meanwhile, Dennis pretended to be engrossed in looking at the monitor, but there was a subtle hint of blush in his ears.Hannah turned her gaze and said with a smile, "I didn't know you two were so close now.""Well, this is the first project that I've invested in after all. So I often come by to check things out," Kesha said while awkwardly grabbing her shawl."I found that Mr. Westwood is good at capturing a good image, so I asked him for advice on how to dress properly.""Ms. Seger is already a beautiful lady. I just pointed out your strong points," Dennis couldn't help but speak up."I only gave a little suggestion. It's all Ms. Seger's own good qualities and charm."No matter how you looked at i
Hannah glanced into the distance and paused for a moment.She then said, "You go in first. I have something to attend to.""Sure." Kesha was tactful. Seeing that Hannah's expression changed subtly, she didn't inquire further.She readily agreed and swayed gracefully in her high heels as she entered the studio. "See you later."Watching her back, a faint smile appeared on Hannah's lips. Then, she sighed slightly and turned her gaze to the street corner.She suddenly felt that Pollywood was quite vast, yet at the same time, it seemed somewhat small. Why did she keep encountering things no matter where she went?Heading to a small shop on the street, she bought a pack of tissues and walked to a secluded corner at the end of the street.A lone figure that was curled into a ball was squatting on the steps, silently shedding tears.She quietly wept, but her shoulders were trembling slightly. A wet patch formed on the ground in front of her. "Here." Hannah handed over the tissues an
"Let's drink together."Grabbing a bottle, Hannah filled up and raised her glass. "Let's cheer for getting rid of that scumbag.""Bottoms up!" Diana didn't refuse at all. She had decided to get drunk, so she was unrestrained.Drinking alcohol was more enjoyable than drinking water. Therefore, she gulped down the alcohol quickly. Soon, her cheeks were flushed and her eyes hazy.Hannah's body, after being reborn, hadn't adapted to alcohol yet. Just after a few sips, a hint of blush appeared on her cheeks."Hold on," Hannah said as she felt the world in front of her start to sway.She instinctively waved her hand and said, "Let's send the location of the bar to Mr. Sorsby.""No, don't. Why do you want to send the location to him?" Diana was dissatisfied.She hugged the bottle and said, "He'll know I'm drowning my sorrows in alcohol because of the breakup. He'll definitely make fun of me. I won't let him know!"Well, it looked like she was already getting drunk."Alright, alright
The man was kicked away several feet.Not only that, Kenneth pressed forward and grabbed the man's collar. He punched him several times with a sinister look.Gritting his teeth, Kenneth asked, "How do you plan to ease her pain? Show me!"He had an unpleasant expression on his face.Although the brands of his clothes cannot be seen, they clearly exuded a hint of luxury. It was clear that he had some background and wasn't someone to be provoked.The man, now sobered by fear, pleaded with a pale face, "Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't know she was your sister, I drank too much …"Please spare me! I'm sorry! I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to have a drink together!""Get lost! Don't let me see you again!" Kenneth pushed him away. "Get out of here!"The man didn't dare to delay anymore. He quickly got up and left.The bar was playing music loudly, so the commotion didn't attract much attention.When Kenneth looked up, his sister was already crying. But Hannah, while
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
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 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
