Cynthia had waited for more than an hour. Angela was late. She had even asked her assistant to deal with Cynthia first. She knew that Angela was deliberately tardy. But now, Cynthia was not in the mood to wait on her.

She was mulling over the words Tania had just said. “Gabriel said that your son is his son.” Darn it. Where did this man spring up from trying to rob her of her son?

He doesn’t have the time to come home with us.”“Mommy, don’t worry, I’ve checked. Daddy ranks first on the world’s rich list and is able to deal with all kinds of insubordination. Nobody will dare to bully you again.” The little boy beamed.“Son, why don’t you go out first to find Aunt Sandra to play with? Daddy and your mommy want to have a nice long chat.” Gabriel gently persuaded, intending to send the little boy away.Since the next topic was not suitable for him to hear.“Alright.

    “She’s my assistant. She will take care of Zion responsibly.” Cynthia retorted. This man’s words were too distasteful.“In short, from now on, I’ll be the one responsible for his safety.

How could I possibly marry him? What’s more, I have zero interest in men.”“You can’t put marriage off for the rest of your life just because of that one incident.”“I’m done with men. I’ll never marry even if I had to die.” Cynthia said firmly.Linda looked at her somewhat at a loss for words. “Alright. It’s your decision.

Go back home with me, I'll show you enough." Gabriel snorted.She realized that she couldn't reason with him, and she said a little angrily, "If I knew this would happen, I would've gone to see it myself." It's such a pity to have bought a ticket for such a wonderful movie and not watch it.A few seconds after she finished speaking, her slender shoulders were suddenly pulled over by the man. Before she could react, the man had already covered her with a frantic kiss.The first was a wild and overbearing kiss, making it hard for her to resist.This kiss continued for two minutes before Gabriel finally

This woman was actually not particularly dressed up, and just came like that.But even if she wore ordinary clothes, even if she dressed inconspicuously, he already had a deep desire for her.

Do you have any other instructions?""Maureen, did you translate all these yourself?""Minister, I have asked around before, but you are the only one who can simultaneously translate all eight languages at the same time.

Cynthia asked somewhat angrily.Aunt Mercy shook her head once again. Regarding the matter that happened that year, even if she had doubts, she did not want to say it anymore. "Only your father knows about this secret, even I do not."Cynthia exhaled, "Seems like she really doesn't want me anymore. Otherwise, she would have come to find me even after so many years.""Cynthia, don't be sad. I feel like she didn't leave you behind, but had her own difficulties." Aunt Mercy advised and changed the topic, "Tell me about Gabriel!
