"Lila, what nonsense are you saying?"Regina was anxious and furious. She tugged at Lila and asked, "What happened? Have you been possessed? Why did you apologize to this cunning bitch!""Mrs. Moore, mind your words."Upon hearing Regina's words, Darren's expression darkened. He shot her a warning gaze. "How dare you insult my wife in front of me! Do you take me as a fool?""I—I didn't mean it that way …"Regina paused momentarily. She froze.Under Darren's gaze, she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. She sturred, "I—I was just …"However, she couldn't seem to find a reasonable excuse to explain her behavior. "Mr. Winchester, my wife was just being too anxious. She didn't mean it."Gregory quickly covered up for Regina. He forced out a smile and continued, "She's overly concerned for our daughter. I hope you understand, Mr. Winchester. Please forgive her!""What if I said that I don't forgive her?"There was a sarcastic smirk that appeared on Darren's lips. He contin
Gregory was overly proud when he had the chance. He wanted to sound tough but was instead immediately dismissed for his tough talk. It was such a joke. Throughout this incident, the attention of those in the business field was focused on the Moores and the Moore Group. Yet, the attention of the young women was focused on Darren's behavior. He was the man of every woman's dreams. He was dominant, outstanding, handsome, yet affectionate. He was the kind of man that other men could only aspire to be. At the same time, Hannah was just as extraordinary as he was. Apart from her family background, there was nothing else that people could criticize her for. She garnered jealous looks from many young women, but there was nothing that they could do about her.They could only keep the thought to themselves and hope that one day they would have a marriage that was half as romantic as hers. Perhaps it was because of the strong sunlight shining directly onto the sea, but Hannah f
Hannah was rather direct with her words. Darren, on the other hand, just stood quietly beside her. There was a playful glint in his eyes as he looked at her affectionately. It was evident that he supported her. With her arms crossed in front of her chest, she scanned her surroundings and lifted her chin slightly."Didn't you ask for my opinion? Well, let me make it clear today. I don't think there's anything wrong with what Mr. Winchester did. Moreover, I think he did a great job."How could she possibly blame him instead of feeling touched when he was just standing up for her? Did Catherine really take her for a fool?Her slender fingers playfully lifted Darren's chin. A seemingly flirtatious action when done by others, seemed rather bold when it was done by her. She placed a gentle kiss on his lips. Her cold tone turned gentle. "I think it makes him even more attractive and sexy. It makes me fall deeper in love with him every day."Darren's gaze darkened. Trying his best
"Ana, Mr. Moore is almost the same age as my father, I can't bear to see him being mistreated this way."Cedric had a righteous look on his face. He shook his head slightly and continued, "Even if you don't agree with me, I'm still going to speak up to fight for what's right."Diana opened her mouth to speak. She couldn't help but wonder if he was really fighting for what was "right". After all, if it wasn't for the Moores who stirred up trouble in the first place, Hannah and Darren would've already returned to the cabin to change their clothes. However, now that Cedric brought up his father, it wouldn't seem appropriate for her to stop him. Furthermore, she didn't want to embarrass him in front of everyone. She couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt. She dared not look at Hannah's expression.After a brief moment, she released her grip on him. She shut her eyes and said in a clear tone, "If that's your choice, then go ahead and do what you want. But let me make it cle
Gregory's gaze flickered. His eyes were filled with a deep sense of dissatisfaction. "Lila, are you still not willing to tell us the truth after everything that's happened?"Catherine had walked up in front of Lila at some point in time. Perhaps it was because of her anxiousness, Catherine grabbed Lila's arms and said fiercely, "Take a look around! Your parents are being humiliated because they are trying to stand up for you. We are all supporting you. "Why aren't you willing to tell us the truth? How much longer do you plan to cover up for this woman!""Ouch! That hurts! Let go of me!"Lila shouted and tried to pull away instinctively. However, she had been through so much today. After everything that had happened, she was utterly exhausted. She didn't have the strength to pull away. She tried to struggle out of Catherine's grasp but didn't succeed. Instead, the pain increased. It turned out that Catherine had directly grabbed onto the wound on her arm. Catherine's mani
Nigel recalled that during her last prenatal checkup, the doctor had emphasized being extremely cautious during the first three months. Moreover, he had grown up together with Catherine since he was young. He always treated her as a younger sister. Their physical relationship had only occurred because he was wasted. In any case, he had wronged her. Considering that Catherine didn't do anything wrong, Nigel realized that he had gone too far. When he returned to his senses, Nigel pursed his lips. He wanted to rush forward to help her up. "Cath, I'm sorry … I acted on impulse just now. Perhaps it's because the sun was too strong that caused me to act out of place. Are you alright, Cath? Do you feel any discomfort in your stomach?"With a regretful expression, Nigel bent down. Yet, before he could lay a finger on Catherine, he was pushed away forcefully by someone else."Asshole!"Harold couldn't tolerate it any longer. He stepped forward abruptly, lifted his hands, and th
As she spoke, she caressed her stomach and lowered her head pitifully. Harold could only suppress his anger. He sneered coldly and remained silent. Nigel let out a silent breath of relief. Upon watching the scene unfold, Hannah found it rather ironic. Was love really that important?It felt as if Catherine was stabbing both Harold and Fiona in their hearts. It also felt as if she was trampling all over their dignity.She was willing to hurt her parents' feelings for someone she didn't even love.How heroic. Hannah sneered coldly and said, "Are we still going to continue pursuing my issue now? Otherwise, I'd like to change my clothes in the cabin."As she spoke, she gently tugged at her sleeves. The damp clothes that she had on felt uncomfortable to wear. Furthermore, her skin started feeling dry and tight after soaking in the seawater. She desperately needed a refreshing shower. Cedric's gaze shifted toward Hannah, "You seem rather unbothered about the situation, Ms
Hannah was slightly taken aback. She instinctively grabbed his hand and wanted to examine it carefully. "Mr. Winchester, are you hurt? Where are you hurt? How bad is it?"The incident just now was so chaotic that her focus was solely on the Moores. She had overlooked his condition. Upon recalling the school of sharks in the water and the fact that he was the last to get onto the hovercraft, it was likely that he might have gotten injuries underwater that she hadn't noticed. Filled with regret and concern, she bit her lip and said, "I was too careless.""Don't worry, Hannah. It's just a small injury."There was a vague smile in his dark eyes. Upon seeing her anxiousness, Darren quickly reassured her, saying, "I just exerted too much force and was hit by the shark's tail."Hannah didn't notice his relaxed tone. She remained silent and pulled him into the room. A sense of warmth surged up in Darren's heart upon seeing Hannah's concern for him. With a helpless tone, he said, "H
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
