Misty's voice was sweet as honey. Her arms were wrapped around Robert's waist, and her cheek was pressed against his chest.Feeling the vibrations from his chest, she said softly, "Robert, I truly love you so much… You're all I have left, you must not forget your promise to always treat me well!""Even without that promise, I will always treat you well. You are the apple of my eye, how could I bear to make you sad?"Robert embraced her as he effortlessly spoke words of affection and sweet nothings.However, Misty couldn't see his cold and emotionless expression. There was even a hint of mockery as he uttered such affectionate words. It was a contradiction that was eerily unsettling.Misty was blissfully ignorant of the sweet trap he had woven, willingly sinking into it."I knew it. I wasn't wrong about you."She rubbed against his chest as her mood turned somber.Her tears wet his shirt as she choked out, "Robert, my face. It's ruined…"The importance of appearance to a woman
"But…"As Robert spoke, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.His brows furrowed as he said softly with a hint of bitterness, "Misty, I might not be able to give you a proper status for a while… "Karen killed someone and might be sent to a psychiatric hospital. Hannah deliberately slandered me in front of Mr. Lawson…"He smiled bitterly, mocking himself. "I've taken care of Karen for so long, but in Mr. Lawson's heart, it's not worth as much as someone's instigation. Now, he suspects that I intentionally led Karen to do such a thing and is investigating me."If I can prove my innocence, that's fine. But I'm afraid he'll be blinded by anger and blame me indiscriminately."The more he spoke, the more strained his expression became. He awkwardly continued, "It's all due to my incompetence. The Wilfares are nothing compared to the Lawsons, and I can't stand against Mr. Lawson."I can't drag you down… So, for the time being, we should try to see each other less!"But I can't h
"Hey, you. When exactly will you pay back the money?!"The ferocious voice contained a hint of viciousness. A man dressed in a short-sleeved floral shirt raised his hand and pushed the person in the middle harshly.He spat out fiercely and cursed, "It's so hot. I don't have time to waste with you. If you don't pay up, don't blame me for being rude!"As he said that, he gave the person another push and sneered, "Hurry up and pay back the money!"Hannah, who was already in a bad mood, frowned and looked over coldly.It clearly looked like a debt collection agency doing its job, but the attitude of the man in the floral shirt was overly arrogant and aggressive, inevitably making others feel uncomfortable."I… I don't have the money right now," a gentle voice said.Even in such a difficult situation, his voice still had a slow and gentle quality, making it hard to feel antagonized.He smiled apologetically and bowed his head as he said in a low voice, "You know the situation of my
What method did she use to make him unable to break free no matter how hard he tried?As the man in the floral shirt was confused and in disbelief, he threatened Hannah.Unfortunately, before he could say more, he was struck by a sudden force.He felt pain in his stomach, and he only saw a tall figure in a black suit flashing by. Then, he saw the blue sky and white clouds before he fell heavily to the ground.A dull sound echoed as he smashed onto the hot asphalt road, kicking up a layer of fine dust.The intense sunlight was so bright that it was hard to keep one's eyes open.As the world blurred and doubled in front of the man in the floral shirt, his chest was forcefully stepped on as a tall figure full of coldness appeared before him."Who do you think you are? Are you trying to pick a fight?"Darren didn't seem like he was surrounded by enemies as he calmly stepped on the man in the floral shirt. His demeanor was casual yet elegant.His dark eyes had a deep and cold look
It was too late.The hand holding the wooden stick was restrained, and the man's body was twisted into a bizarre position, unable to escape at all.He could only watch helplessly as Hannah's fist grew larger before his eyes until it finally viciously smashed into his nose.With a crack, it seemed like his nose bridge had shattered. Tears streamed down from the pain.Blood started to flow down his face as well.Damn it.How could this woman be so strong?The man's vision darkened, his consciousness hazy as he swayed uncontrollably.Hannah didn't care about his current state, she simply raised her hand to snatch the wooden stick from him, without even looking in Darren's direction, she tossed it over. "Mr. Winchester, catch."Darren slightly raised his eyes and accurately caught the flying stick.A faint smile appeared in the depths of his dark eyes, glancing at her, and said warmly, "Thanks for the gift, Hannah."Even in the midst of a fight, she didn't forget to grab him a w
"Are you leaving just like this?"Hannah glanced at him and raised her chin slightly at him. Then she continued, "You've laid hands on someone, yet you can't even apologize?"The man with the floral shirt was a little astonished. He involuntarily looked at the middle-aged man standing at the side.The middle-aged man obviously hadn't expected it either. After meeting the other man's gaze only he realized that Hannah wanted the man with the floral shirt to apologize to him.His weathered face immediately showed a bit of embarrassment, waving his hand awkwardly as he said dryly, "No, there's no need to… I… I'm fine."The bruise on the corner of his mouth involuntarily twitched, so he drew in a cold breath.Seeing the bruise on his lips, Hannah felt a little annoyed inexplicably.Her gaze toward the man with the floral shirt grew colder when she asked in a chilly tone, "Are you unwilling to apologize?"The man was startled by her gaze. Still feeling some lingering pain in his body
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
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
