Hannah couldn't help but frown slightly. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.As if unaware of her displeasure, Robert brought Karen to walk through the crowd to the front.He reached out and smiled. "Hannah, I haven't seen you in a long time. You're more charming than ever."He was handsome and gentle, and his gold-framed glasses made him look even more elegant.But his smile made Hannah feel uncomfortable, especially his gaze. Behind his kindness, there seemed to be a poisonous snake hissing at her. She wondered if it was an illusion. She felt that Robert had changed a lot.When Hailee wasn't in jail, and Jane wasn't in trouble, he didn't seem this gloomy even though she still felt uncomfortable with him."Hello, Robert."As if sensing her discomfort, Darren suddenly stepped forward.He stood before her to shield her from Robert's gaze. Then, he gripped Robert's hand and asked lightly, "Is your wedding with Ms. Lawson getting closer?""It's rare for you to care about su
Karen was gradually becoming strange, and she didn't know that. Not only did she look down on Robert, but she also hated him. She shouted, "I'm warning you. Don't you dare start daydreaming again! I'll never marry you!"After saying that, she looked at Darren obsessively. "Believe me, Darren! I don't like him at all!""It's none of my business."Darren frowned slightly, looked at her coldly, and said, "You don't need to tell me about your love life.""Darren, I don't like him! I won't marry him. Please don't be angry!"The underweight Karen looked fragile and pitiful.She stretched out her thin hands, trying to grab his clothes. "Darren, I've always loved you ... I've only wanted to marry you since I was a child! Believe me!"He dodged her touch and frowned even more.There was something wrong with her. It seemed that she could no longer listen to others' words. She was immersed in her world, constructing her fantasies for herself.He became cold.Hannah also furrowed her b
If Karen consulted a psychiatrist and recovered, it would be troublesome! Robert could not allow this to happen. Robert reached out to support her swaying body. He held her close, trying to comfort her. "Karen, it's okay," he said. "You don't have to go to a psychiatrist if you don't want to. Just calm down and stop crying, okay?"He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears. His face showed a hint of heartache, and he sighed softly. "I feel bad when you cry."He seemed to be the most affectionate and gentle boyfriend. Combined with his handsome face, his actions drew the attention and envy of many young women. Who wouldn't be envious? The current Karen was ugly and in an abnormal mental state. But, her fiancé stayed by her side and took care of her patiently.Which woman wouldn't dream of receiving such deep affection?But, Karen wasn't touched. She only felt the handkerchief on her face pressing on her thin cheeks painfully. Robert's gaze was like a tightly wove
Robert could not disrupt someone else's wedding like this. Robert clearly knew that as well. With a wry smile and a hint of anxiety on his face, he spoke sincerely. "Karen has been emotionally unstable of late. I'm afraid that she might do something impulsive and get into trouble if she were left alone. "I'm worried about leaving her on her own. Can you please help me find her and bring her back?"He stood up and continued, "David and Mary entrusted her to me. It means they trust me to take care of her. If anything goes wrong, it will be my fault. Please help me find her. I'll be forever grateful."He was so polite and sincere. It was in stark contrast to Karen's erratic and immature behavior. The socialites became even more sympathetic toward Robert. One of them couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilfare. We'll have the staff on the lookout. Rest assured. Ms. Lawson will be fine."Relieved by their words, Robert finally smiled and nodded in gratitude. "Thank you for you
Of course, Darren was not in a hurry! Now, the one who had to be anxious was Robert.Darren suddenly dropped a bomb and then casually moved on. It was as if he didn't care about what Torrence had done at all.How could he not care?Robert knew what he'd made Torrence do. He tricked Darren into believing that his legs would never work again. Then, he deliberately delayed his treatment which caused prolonged pain and potential side-effects. Robert even had Torrence prescribe Darren depressants, leading him to develop depression. They tried to drive him to the depths of despair. Robert had entertained the thought more than once. If Darren were to take his own life, Robert would rejoice. The Winchester Group would be his!This was a premeditated murder for profit. Robert put himself in Darren's shoes. If someone had done this to him, he would have wanted to tear them limb from limb to get revenge. But how could Darren stay so calm and collected, as if it were nothing?What was
Robert couldn't let Hannah catch him off guard. She had ruined a lot of things for him. He should have been more vigilant.How could he repeatedly underestimate her just because she was a beautiful woman? A warning bell rang in his mind. Robert forced a smile on his face and said, "Hannah, why would you think that? I'm a bit clumsy. Financial management took up a lot of my time.""I see."Hannah nodded as if she was just asking. She smiled and stopped talking. Then, she leaned against Darren and whispered to him. What was she saying?Robert's heart was pounding with panic. He was so flustered and angry that he wished he could smash everything in sight. But, he could not.What was going on with this couple? They did things the same way. After saying something that made him tremble with fear, they casually dropped the topic. They left him hanging in uncertainty.Were they playing with him? It was funny to see him at a loss, wasn't it?One day, he would crush them and make them
It was Hannah's presence that brought meaning to his life.Why would he waste time looking at anything else?Darren's tone was casually affectionate. Such affectionate words seemed to come to him naturally. "Mr. Winchester, you're getting better at sweet talking."Under his gaze, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.Hannah turned away and didn't look at him. Her ears were faintly pink, and her voice broke in the sea breeze. "Did you secretly eat candy behind my back?""Yup, I ate something sweet. That's why I got better at sweet talking."Darren looked at her profile, raised his hand, and playfully pinched her red lips.He looked at her meaningfully and said. "If you like it, I'll eat more in the future, and say more things that you like."Hannah wanted to glare at him, but her eyes seemed to hold back tears. So, the look she gave him was not intimidating.Eventually, she couldn't help but smile. She relaxed and leaned back into his arms. She chuckled and said, "
"I'm not letting go."Darren paid no attention to the surprising glances they received. Not only did he hold her tight in his embrace, he even lowered his head and tucked it near her neck. It was a baffling sight to see how attached he was to her. It was like seeing a god falling in love with a mortal. He was just like any other ordinary man in this world. His superiority was stripped off him as he fell head over heels for her. He didn't pay any attention to the public either. He gave her shoulder a slight nudge gently. In a hoarse voice, he continued, "I'm completely smitten with you. I'm all yours."It was rare for him to say such words. Probably embarrassed, he didn't hold his head up for a long time. He didn't dare to look at her expression. Well, he seemed pretty tame this way. Darren was more than willing to be bound to her. He set aside all his indifference and completely submitted himself to her. His voice was already enchanting, to begin with. When he spoke in
