The next hour was spent watching the man in front of her set her son off in peals of laughter. She was feeling somewhat unsatisfied in her heart. This man was adept at coming between her and her son.After walking around the garden, it was already 8:30 p.m. On their way back, Gabriel carried the little boy on his shoulders. The little fellow’s radiant laughter pierced the night.Behind them, Cynthia heard her son’s spirited laugh. The corners of her mouth curved up into a smile that she herself was not aware of.As a mother, her son’s happiness was her happiness. This sort of feeling was one which she could not suppress.Back in the living room, the little boy had been laughing till he had run out of strength. Holding the little fellow in his arms, Gabriel could not resist kissing his soft cheeks causing him to become ticklish and break out in giggles. The smile on Gabriel’s handsome face came from the love and indulgence in his heart.Cynthia came upon this scene and was stunned. The
His perfectly chiseled face was facing her. Her heart skipped a beat. She felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. It has to be said that this man was the most handsome man out of all the men she had ever seen.She had previously thought that her ex husband Jude topped the list of good-looking men. Now, when she saw this man, she knew that this man was in a league of his own.The little boy who was in the middle, was buzzing with excitement making him unable to lie still. One minute he was looking at his daddy and the next, he was looking at his mommy. Like a high-spirited puppy, he couldn’t contain his excitement. His small lips giving them kisses to and fro.Cynthia had to hold down the energetic child. “Okay, don’t move about. Go to sleep.”The little boy quieted down. His small head did not impede her view, so Cynthia’s gaze met the gaze of the man opposite her without any obstruction.The man’s eyes were dark and deep, like two black holes pulling people into oblivion. T
“I know. My son told me that he is the richest man in the world.”“Cynthia, you’re really lucky. Back then, you’d managed to sleep with such an outstanding and handsome man. Now, you needn’t have to worry about it any longer.” Linda said with a hint of envy.Cynthia smiled bitterly. “How can I not worry? He came to snatch my son away from me. I will definitely not give my son to him.”“Why do you have to give him your son? Just marry him.” Linda spoke with no hesitation.Widening her eyes, Cynthia's face flushed red. “How is that possible? 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. Did Angela gave any comment yesterday?“Yes, I promised to revise it according to her request. She wants to double the size of
Jude reached the bottom floor and was only a few steps behind her. He looked at the delicate figure in front of him. He was quite surprised. He had initially thought that life would be difficult for her since she had left with nothing. But the woman in front of him exuded an air of elegance and confidence.Over the years, he did not dare to think of her because he was ashamed. The more he emerged as a prominent figure in society, the more he reflected on his disgraceful past and wanted to make it up to her.However, he was not able to do so because he couldn’t track her down.Now that he had met her and knew that she had returned to this City , his desire to make it up to her surged fiercely in his heart.Linda turned to glance behind her and saw a man dressed in a gray suit. The tall man seemed to be following after them. The man stared fixedly at Cynthia’s figure. She then guessed his identity.It couldn’t be that Cynthia had met her ex-husband!Jude’s car was also parked in the dir
In the playroom, second floorThe little boy was flying a remote control helicopter. Seeing Cynthia entered, he grinned. “Mommy, look at my helicopter.”Cynthia glanced around the large room that was filled with expensive toys. It left her speechless. The way this man spoiled his son was simply outrageous.“Mommy, daddy promised to build me a huge playground in the backyard.” The little boy shared the exciting news.Cynthia grew even more speechless. She stooped down to level her eyes with her son’s. “Son, even if your daddy is rich, you cannot just ask him for anything that you want. You should appreciate what he has given you. But you can’t be a spendthrift.”“Mommy, I know. I will not do it again.” The little boy was now aware of his mistake.“Alright, since these have already been bought, just go ahead and play them! Mommy will be right here.” She stroked his little head and comforted him.Perhaps men have a different way of spoiling their kids.Cynthia accompanied her son on the
Nibbling on her lower lip, Cynthia walked towards the bed. Glancing over at the indolent figure who had his arms folded under his head, her gaze inadvertently collided into his as he happened to look over at the same time.He looked at the conservative nightwear she had selected for herself. The milky-white color nightwear set off her fair skin. Her black tresses tumbled down around her shoulders. Dressed even in conservative clothes, it did nothing to detract from her allure. That appearance alone was enough to make men drool over her.There was a trace of regret in Gabriel's heart. This woman’s figure had long been enjoyed by some other men. How many men have paid for her body?The more he thought about it, the more evident was the derision in his eyes. His face was drawn tight.The little boy had been waiting for his mommy to get onto the bed and did not catch the gloomy expression on his daddy’s face.Cynthia disregarded the man. She lay down beside her son and wrapped the little
Seeing her angry, he cocked his eyebrow and gave her a devilish smile.“Daddy, where did you go last night?”“Daddy suddenly thought of some work that I had to complete last night and came out to work.” Gabriel smiled.“Oh! Daddy, let’s have breakfast. After we’ve finished eating, we can all leave together. That way you can send mommy to work.”“I… I don’t need a lift.” Cynthia didn’t want to be stuck with him. The incident last night had already cast a shadow on her.“Are you sure? I won’t be lending you my car today. ”“I can always call a cab!” Cynthia was not intimidated by this.“Any vehicle would have to get through security before they are allowed on the road leading to my residence. Without my permission, unauthorized vehicles are not allowed in.”She fixed him with a stare and remained quiet. If she were to walk, half an hour of walking in her heels would certainly tire her out.“Mommy, just ride in daddy’s car!” The little boy was worried for her.“Zion, why don’t you have b
Cynthia frowned. Why was she here? Does she want to change the design of her ring again? Linda who had received the news of Angela’s arrival, went out to greet her. But Angela was here for Cynthia. She said to Linda, “I just want to meet the Designer . I’ll wait for her in the conference room. Bring me a cup of coffee.” After becoming Mrs Leonard, Angela was used to bossing others around. She was an expert at issuing orders. Even Linda who was the manager was ordered about like a servant. Cynthia who had just come from her office, looked at Angela coldly. “May I ask if Mrs. Leonard has any more adjustments to make to the design?” “Let’s talk.” Angela sneered while looking at her. “If it’s a private matter, I do not have the time for it. I can only accompany you to discuss business.” “It’s business.” Angela didn’t want to discuss things with her here. She strode to the conference room. Cynthia’s brows were knitted into a frown. She followed after her. Once they arrived at the c
Upon arriving at the car park, the bodyguard was waiting respectfully there. After getting on the car, when Cynthia saw him walking over, he did not seem to feel any pain from his wounds at all. Furthermore, with her earlier anger towards him, she could not help but squint at him, "Your wounds are not painful at all, you just don't want me to watch a movie right?""You want to see a man? 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
Soon after, the second set of works was brought up on stage. On the huge screen, this pair of jewellery shined brilliantly and caused people to look forward to it. Very quickly, it was sold for over a million dollars.The sixth painting was placed on top of the glass cabinet. Under the light of the lamp, the lotus flower necklace seemed to reveal a kind of Oriental beauty. It was beautiful and gentle, deeply favored by women.The starting price was three hundred thousand dollars and it was inlaid with extremely rare diamonds. It was lifelike, dazzling, beautiful, and extremely valuable."One million dollars." Immediately, people in the crowd raised their bids."One million and five hundred thousand dollars!" another woman called."Two million dollars."The price continued to rise. Cynthia was a little confused, her mind was also tight from the shock.What moved her even more was the recognition of her design."Three million dollars." A rich woman announced loudly. This necklace was bo
Fortunately, the bra design was conservative, so Gabriel had no objections. After that, he had matched it with a set of diamond jewelry, earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet as well.After the test, Cynthia relaxed. The acceptance ceremony would be held in the afternoon, and Linda had said that there would be a thank-you banquet tonight, so, the day belonging to the fashion designers was going to be even more lively tonight.Cynthia accompanied Gabriel back to the hotel to eat. After eating, she accompanied him back to the hotel to rest.Gabriel took the chance to take care of matters related to work, and when Cynthia entered her room to sleep, his phone rang. He picked it up and looked, his expression slightly tense, it was his grandfather."Hey!" "Grandfather.""Didn't I ask you to bring Zion here today? Why didn't you bring him here? ""I'm abroad.""What are you doing abroad?" Grandpa York asked curiously."Handling work matters.""Alright then!" Wait till you get back. " Grandpa
Cynthia stayed behind and she was also tired. She walked into the bedroom and slept, closing the door tightly.Gabriel was also tired. Although he did not touch her, but the tense atmosphere between the two of them had finally been relieved. She was sleeping in the room next door, which gave him a sense of security.Early morning.....Cynthia opened her eyes and immediately pushed the door open, walking into Gabriel's room. He did not close the door, nor did he wake up.The corner of his mouth lifted a little. It seemed that she still wasn't suitable for hating someone, as hating others was too tiring, and if she didn't hate him, then she would choose not to hate him!When Cynthia was about to leave, the man suddenly woke up. She reached out his hand and pressed it against Cynthia's waist, afraid that would hurt it, hence Cynthia immediately followed suit and laid on his chest, "Are you awake?""Hm!" We'll have breakfast together. " For a man, even living three meals a day with her wa
Cynthia was in a trance for a few seconds. In fact, her heart was not as calm as she appeared, as her heart was always thrown into disorder by him. His appearance was bound to cause her to be unable to calm down.Cynthia slightly lowered her eyes, looking at the tip of her feet, not wanting to look at him.Gabriel walked step by step to his side, narrowed his eyes and sized her up. 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. Even if she dressed poorly, it wouldn't stop him from wanting her to be impetuous and sexy."Have you had dinner?" Gabriel asked in a low voice.She bit her lips as she ignored him."I haven't eaten yet, let's go eat some more.""I don't want it." She didn't want to accompany him to eat."No? Are you sure? You can't blame me when you faint from exhaustion tonight. " Gabriel said with a warm and detestable smile.Cynthi
However, Luke still tried his best to have them chase after the direction of the trash.After he was done, Luke called Maureen who was seated and waiting. Upon hearing the summons, she immediately stood up and left the table.Behind her, there were also many employees who had guessed that Luke came here to investigate this matter. He was a strong person, he would definitely be able to find out what she did.Maureen walked to the door of the meeting room with big anxious steps. She lightly knocked on the door, and then Luke's low voice sounded from inside, "Come in."Maureen pushed the door open, and saw that Luke had also stood up. Maureen held the door open, and walked to his side, but before she could say anything, Luke's strong arm wrapped around her, pressing her down on her chest.Maureen's nose that was wronged started to sour, tears started to roll down her eyes, the grievances she had suffered this time was too much.Luke lowered his head, looked at her still immature face and
Other than Lina who still stood at the side to advise her, no one else would understand.Maureen's small face was stretched taut. She was surprisingly quiet, and even though she was under such huge pressure, there was still someone in her heart who gave her strength and comfort. That person was Luke.She knew he was coming."Maureen, it's no big deal. I'm just being fired. In the future, you can look for other jobs!" Lina consoled."I didn't do anything wrong, why should I resign? It's not my fault. " Maureen firmly believed from start to finish that he had not done anything wrong."Sigh!" Why are you so stubborn! Who doesn't feel wronged when they work here? " Lina sighed.At the entrance of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, an army-green off-road vehicle suddenly stopped, causing all of the employees who entered the hall to raise their eyebrows.At this moment, the driver's door was pushed open, and a tall and handsome figure jumped down.The man's sharp eagle eyes swept across the crowd
Fortunately, Maureen's talent in speech was extremely good, and adding the fact that she had befriended someone in Ministry of Foreign Affairs, two of her colleagues from other languages came over to help her. Before going to work, she went over to Renee's table, causing her expression to change slightly."Minister, the information you requested has been translated. 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. Therefore, for an assistant like me to be able to translate all six languages at the same time, it is already considered pretty good." Maureen said.Renee sneered, "Do you think this is considered outstanding? There are still a lot of places for you to learn. For today's meeting, you will be joining me. "Maureen saw a sly smile flash past her eyes, and immediately felt that something was wrong. However, s
Aunt Mercy nodded her head, "Of course I have, but only a few times. I remember that when she was young, she was an exceptional beauty.""Why didn't she want me anymore?" 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! From what I see, he is definitely not an ordinary man.When Cynthia saw that she could not hide anything from her, she could only tell her everything that had happened recently. Although she had brought up some matters of life, Aunt Mercy could tell that she and Gabriel had some feelings for each
