In winter, the small fishing village was cold and quiet, like a child forgotten by the world. In the dark of the night, heavy snow silently fell. The wind blew outside the window. Daisy knew that it was another sleepless night. The old-fashioned clock in the room was ticking, which was particularly abrupt in the quiet night. Daisy pulled the quilt over her body and curled up in the corner. She held the funeral portrait of her grandmother in her arms. Although she had lit a fire, the brick bed was not warm at all, which made her feel extremely chill. Daisy looked around without any extra emotions. It was not until there was a roar in the next room that she was a little surprised. She knew that there was a person living next door, a person who lived in a drunken stupor all day long. Unfortunately, that person was her uncle. Daisy's uncle, Sloan Steed, was 43 years old, but he still hadn't gotten married. He drank and gambled all day long, and Daisy's grandmother's
Clare came back to his senses and smiled faintly. He sat beside Daisy. Daisy was a little evasive. She looked at the man with an innocent smile in front of her. She swallowed her saliva and then sat down as if nothing had happened. She took out some corncobs from a bag beside her and put them in the stove. Before she could light the fire, she heard Clare ask, "What are you doing?" "I'm kindling a fire," Daisy answered matter-of-factly. However, when she tilted her head slightly, she saw that Clare was looking at her in surprise as if she had done something wrong. Daisy thought that he didn't know why she was lighting a fire, so she slowly explained, "This is not in the big city. We have to use a big pot to cook. I'm just lighting a fire to heat it up." "I know." Clare smiled gently and then added, "I want to ask you what you want to cook." Daisy was stunned and her movements paused for a moment. She looked at Clare for five seconds before putting corncob
It was not until they arrived at the dock that they realized how stupid they were. Because it was snowing heavily, the dock was closed, and the cold wind was blowing Daisy's thin clothes. She didn't know what to do. Clare coughed lightly and said, "Let's go, let's take a bus." Daisy followed this non-native to find the bus station step by step. They finally bought tickets and got on the bus. Not long after the bus started, Daisy felt dizzy and nauseous. Her stomach roiled and she quickly opened the window. She vomited so much that only her stomach acid remained before she stopped. She suddenly caught sight of another person sitting beside her. "Derry Jennifer, why are you here?" At that moment, Derry slowly explained, "I was waiting for the bus to come after the dock closed, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental. Since we take the same bus. You can go with me after getting off." Daisy did not doubt him. "Oh, okay, but……" She paused
"Wendy, what's the matter?" Daisy became nervous as well when she saw Wendy's tense expression. Wendy's expression suddenly changed. She looked at Daisy with a smile and said, "I'm now an official employee of the Glory Group." Daisy said, "You scared me. I thought something had happened to you." "The anniversary of the Glory Group is about to come and many elites will attend. Do you want to come with me?" Daisy's heart raced, and the look in her eyes was a little complicated. "I'm not an employee of the Glory Group. I'd better not attend." Wendy looked at Daisy and thought to herself, "Is she not going to join in the fun? This is unexpected." Strange. "All right, I'm going back to school to get something later. Do you want to come with me?" Daisy changed the subject in a hurry. "I'm going to the company and in the same direction as you. Let's go." "OK." 20 minutes later, Wendy got out of the car at the gate
"Don't…… stop……" Rex directly held her waist and hugged her. He kissed her delicate collarbone, and his teeth gently bit her skin. The pain quickly spread to the bottom of her heart. Wendy pushed Rex's strong body with both hands. Rex bit her lips as a punishment, then let go of her and said with an expressionless face, "Put on your clothes." Was that all? Wendy didn't even have time to feel the man's aroused desire before she was put aside coldly. She looked at Rex hatefully and asked, "What are you doing?" Rex put his hands on the desk, and his eyes were as cold as ice. "If I wanted to do, I'm afraid you would be naked now." This asshole! Wendy turned around and was about to leave when Rex said, "Wait for me tonight." "No." Wendy buttoned up her clothes and touched the wetness on her neck. Her mind was in turmoil. "Don't move," Rex said in a deep voice. Then he walked over step by step and stood behind Wendy without maki
"Would you believe me if I said I was going to leave it to you?" Rex looked at her. Wendy was so shocked that she couldn't say a word. "Me?" Rex turned his head and said, "My aunt came back to ask for her shares back. Without her shares, although the Glory Group won't suffer much loss, it won't be as good as before. But…… there's one thing that's interesting……" "Hmm? What is it?" "My aunt said that if you can become one of the managements, she will consider leaving the shares, and plus my shares, it will not be a problem for you to manage the Glory Group." Rex's tone was calm as if this was a feasible fact. Wendy immediately waved her hand and said, "I…… I don't have that ability……" "Yes, you definitely don't have it now." Rex didn't hide his doubt in his words. "So you'll come to my office starting next week and be my assistant." Clare froze upon hearing that. Wait a minute…… What did he hear? Was Mr. Gavyn going to fire him?
Obviously, Rex had overestimated his self-control. There was the sound of water in the bathroom, and the graceful figure inside was reflected in the frosted glass. Thinking of the joy of holding Wendy in his arms, he felt inexplicably fidgety. He took out a cigarette and walked to the balcony to smoke. Wendy dried her slightly wet hair and came out of the bathroom. The light fragrance from her body drifted over. Rex put out the cigarette and walked over. "Are you done?" "Yeah, go wash." Wendy sat by the bed and her clothes accidentally slipped from her shoulder. When Rex's gaze landed on a soft part of her body, his rationality collapsed and his entire body pressed against hers. Wendy was suddenly pushed onto the bed, surrounded by the scent of the man's hormones. Her heart was a mess. Looking at the delicious right in front of him, how could he not eat? Rex kissed her heavily on the lips and his heat slowly shifted to her body, attacking
Wendy raised her hand and pulled it out of Cassie's foot. Blood oozed out of the bruise, and she stood up with a cold face as if she hadn't seen it. "Cassie, don't even think about taking Rex and our baby away from me!" Wendy shouted then she went upstairs with tears in her eyes. Cassie was furious. Rosaria immediately came forward to comfort her. "Mom, don't be angry. Wendy, Wendy may have her reasons. After all, that is her child." "Rosaria, you're too kind and don't know how bad people can be. I've seen a lot of people like Wendy Walters. She thought that I wouldn't dare to do anything to her because of Rex. Rosaria, come with me to the hospital." "To the hospital?" Rosaria was confused. "Yes." Cassie sneered and thought, "Wendy Walters, let's see how long you can act." The wound on Wendy's palm had almost healed, but the skin on the back of her hand had been scrapped. Wendy endured the pain and applied medicine to it. She lay
