A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 84 You Are No Better
Darren hurried over in his wheelchair alongside Hannah and the others. Seeing them, Kaden's face flashed with guilt, and he tried to explain, "Hannah, it's not … It's not like this … I …"Confronted with the mess around him, his face was filled with regret and self-blame. He hung his head and was on the verge of tears. "I regret it … I really, really regret it."He knew his mother's love was fake, but he still chose to immerse himself in it. He knew she was acting strangely but chose to become an accomplice to remain in the warmth of her love. The Winterfall orchid was originally a favorite of Mr. Garner. It had already been destroyed once due to the Winchesters' actions. If something happened to it again, Mr. Garner would not let it go, no matter how forgiving he might be. Kaden knew it all but still caved when Amanda offered him love, and a part of him still yearned for it despite finding out about her schemes. His legs gave way, and Kaden knelt, holding his head in distr

"This isn't the Winterfall orchid you were looking for." Kaden, who had been silent all along, lifted his head and smirked sarcastically. "This is just an ordinary orchid that Hannah brought here for Naomi to practice her gardening skills. You can't even distinguish what an orchid looks like. How can a fool like you cause trouble for Hannah?"Looking at the scattered flowers all over the floor, some of which resembled orchids, Kaden burst into laughter. "I guess I was a fool for seeking love from a woman like you as well."This farce had come to an end, and Darren lost his patience. "Take Ms. Yilmaz away."Soon, a bodyguard stepped forward and dragged Amanda away while she screamed and wailed. Hannah glanced at the messy greenhouse and extended her hand toward Jeffrey. "Your Winterfall Orchid is in the small greenhouse over there. Since we're all here, why don't we go take a look together?"After the shocking events earlier, the older gentlemen no longer cared about pursuing th

"Hannah, it's so hard to ask you out."Though she needed something from Hannah, Hailee was still upset that she was stood up repeatedly. "I begged and begged before you finally came," she said sarcastically. "Aunt Hailee, I was busy taking care of Mr. Garner's orchid after Naomi caused some trouble." Hannah adjusted her shawl and smiled. "I came to apologize as soon as I have time."Regardless of whether Hannah was telling the truth, Hailee could not press on since she apologized, so she smiled once again.The other socialites were curious and asked, "Mrs. Winchester, did you really revive the orchid Mr. Garner owned?""I heard that it's really tricky to look after …You are so talented, Mrs. Winchester. Have you studied this field before?""I just know a thing or two." Hannah smiled. "I just got lucky."Since she seemed approachable, the women started throwing her questions and surrounded her. Hailee, who was ignored, said sarcastically, "Though the alley of West Lane belon

"Everyone is here with their proposal. What is worthy will remain so regardless of circumstances. Let's all keep our eyes peeled, and we shall profit." Hailee smiled and gestured. "Let's go inside."The contemptuous looks were diverted, and Kesha sighed in relief. Gratitude flashed in her eyes as she said, "Ms. Emerson, thank you."She bowed her head. "I've spent most of my life working hard alongside Zeelon. Even if we have money now, I'm still different from those socialites. They look down on me. Their stares were so piercing that I could barely breathe.""We are all just human here. It's not like you need their help." Hannah appreciated Kesha's frankness. "You don't have to be afraid of them.""You're right." Kesha beamed and clapped her hands. "Smart people are indeed different from stupid ones. I feel inspired every time I talk to you.""By the way, I divorced that jerk. I didn't take everything for the sake of being married for so many years. I left him with two houses an

Dennis, who was already feeling disheartened, beamed and looked over. A graceful and beautiful young woman stood not far away, casually looking at them. The gleam in his eyes gradually dimmed as bitterness filled in his chest.He struggled to say, "Young lady, my script is for an art film. But due to the elaborate filming locations and personal requirements, the upfront investment is substantial …"He lowered his head, sounding depressed. "I've been trying for a long time, but no one is willing to invest in my script."Even in his desperate need for money, he hadn't sunk so low as to deceive a young girl who seemed oblivious. Despite the difficulties he faced, he maintained his honesty, which intrigued Hannah further, and she looked at him with newfound respect. "If Ms. Emerson invests, I'll invest too," Kesha said without hesitation. "Rest assured, we have plenty of money.""Ms. Emerson." Henry gritted his teeth, his expression contorted. "You're still young and may not full

In their eyes, Hannah was merely a lowly girl from the slum, while Kesha was a nouveau riche. They considered themselves nobles from high society and saw Hannah and Kesha as people from another world. It seemed as though they could only live by thinking that others were beneath them, and the socialites' looks toward the two became increasingly smug. Hannah was amused. Time had changed, yet these women still bound themselves with rules as though they were living in the Victorian era. She did not want to argue with them, but someone else said, "I guess she's throwing money away because it's not really hers. I pity Mr. Winchester.""That's right." Another agreed along, "She invested in such garbage. I wonder if she was truly interested in the script or the person who wrote it."After that was said, everyone started to study Dennis's face knowingly. "Maybe she's not after profit, but after a pretty face …""How unbecoming. I can't bear to hear this. Uneducated people are so

"If you are going to do it, give it your best." Hannah nodded and took out a business card. "This is my assistant's contact. He will discuss the terms with you."Excited, Dennis could not say a word and accepted the card gratefully while nodding. Kesha left her contact as well and smiled. "Ms. Emerson and I both see potential in you. Work hard and don't disappoint us.""I will!" Dennis said. With hope, he felt reborn and was beaming. "By the way," Hannah said. "Have you selected the actress to be the second female lead?"Dennis hesitated and wondered if Hannah wanted to recommend someone. If he was a few years younger, he would refuse and insist that he would not accept his investors' interference with his decisions. However, after all the difficulties he faced in the past years, he had learned his lesson. He knew being overly direct might mean saying the wrong thing that angered people. He let out a bitter laugh and lowered his head. "Not yet … I don't have anyone in

"Of course, not." Hailee tensed and smiled. "I'll make the arrangement now.""Since my wife has given her earrings, I also have to offer something." Darren took off his watch and placed it next to Hannah's diamond earrings. "Please add this to the list."Jane accepted the tray and smiled. "Leave them to me."Hannah wheeled Darren into the hall, and the two instantly became the center of attention because of their looks. Robert, who was chatting with someone else, spotted them and hurried over to greet them. With concern, he said, "It's great to see you here, Darren. You've stayed home for so long that I worry about you.""Is that so?" Darren looked up. After a while, he said, "Thank you for worrying about me.""Since you've recovered now, shouldn't you come by the office soon?" Robert smiled, his gaze probing. "Without you to steer the wheel, everyone's a little uneasy.""You've done well." Darren lowered his gaze and fell silent. His hair was left loose, with long strands

A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 827 The Bad Guy
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
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 824 Lost In Thought
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
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 822 Unwrapping the Gift
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
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 820 Do You Miss Me?
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
