Because when this woman was raging in anger, he had this wild desire to tame it.“You…” Cynthia could not comprehend him. She deliberated over it and then said, “You wait. The supermarket downstairs is not closed yet. They should sell men’s pajamas. I’ll buy them for you. End of discussion.”“No need. Even if you buy them, I won’t wear it. It’s a waste of money.” The man cocked his eyebrow, persisting in his ways.Cynthia huffed. “I’ll buy it and you’ll have to wear them.” She then picked up her handbag, planning on leaving.“The supermarket is downstairs? Within this area?” Gabriel arched his brow and asked. Because it was already late, he wanted to make sure it was safe for her.“It’s right downstairs. Why? Do you want to go there yourself? You can’t. You have to look after our son.” Cynthia then opened the door to leave.“Be careful.” Gabriel's deep voice reached her ears.Cynthia closed the door. Did he just remind her to be careful? She couldn’t have heard it wrongly.Fortunately
This made him even more determined to drink from it. After the mug was filled, he turned to face her on purpose and drank the water from the mug in huge gulps.Watching his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down, she couldn’t help but swallow. Must he act like such a jerk?“You seemed to be parched too. Do you need a drink?” He arched his brow and asked.“No. I’m not thirsty.” She didn’t want to owe him one.“You’re not thirsty, but your body says otherwise. If you want me to quench your thirst, I must first get it up.” The man said.Seeing that he had made a tasteless innuendo, she swiftly shot him a glare. “Say it again and you’ll have to get out. Not every woman who sees you is a she-wolf which has been starving for centuries. I have no interest in men.”Gabriel narrowed his eyes. “Because of your ex-husband?”“It’s none of your business.” She said coldly.Gabriel scoffed. “It may be none of my business. But you’d better not take me for that scum of a man. He’s not even qualified to wipe
The little boy pushed open the door to his mommy’s bedroom and looked at his daddy who was lying in bed. He happily climbed onto it.Gabriel reached out and pulled the little fellow into his arms. The little fellow lay obediently beside his daddy and gazed up at his daddy’s handsome face. “Daddy, you didn’t sleep well last night?”“Yes.” Gabriel answered.“Why didn’t you sleep well?”“Because daddy is selective about the bed that I sleep in.”“What does that mean?”“It means that daddy is unable to sleep in an unfamiliar bed. So, kiddo, why don’t we go back to daddy’s place tonight?”The little boy was feeling very sorry for his daddy. Bobbing his head, he replied. “Okay, I’ll ask mommy to come with us.”Gabriel stroked the little boy’s head and gave a deep chuckle. “Alright.”When breakfast was ready, Gabriel got up and went into the toilet. On the shelf were a few toothbrushes — one for an adult and another for a child. There was one more that had not yet been opened. He took the on
What surprised her was the fact that Cynthia had a child. But this was a point in Angela’s favor. Single mothers did not hold much appeal to men.But were the rumors true — that Cynthia and Gabriel were an item?If that was indeed the case, then Gabriel really had poor taste, or it could be that Cynthia had concealed the truth from him. Gabriel had been captivated by Cynthia’s looks and was unaware that she already had a child!Just thinking of the sort of man whom Gabriel was, caused her heart to quicken. If Cynthia had even the slightest chance to grab hold of him and cling to his side, would she even let such a chance slip by?In actual fact, the opposite held true — Gabriel was the one being rejected.Angela’s wedding anniversary was coming up at the end of the month. The design of her ring had been sent to a foreign jeweler. They have already responded. Her ring would be completed and delivered to her within 10 days.She had to make a show of their conjugal bliss. Her diamond rin
Seeing that his great-grandpa and daddy were both laughing, the little boy dissolved into giggles. He then threw himself into the arms of Grandpa. While raising his head to look up at his white beard, he asked. “Great-grandpa, what long beard you have! May I touch it?”Grandpa had not held a child in his arms for a long time. He stretched his arms to lift the little boy up. At his side, Gabriel said with worry, “Grandpa, you don’t have to carry him.”“Why? You’re worried that I won’t be able to carry my great-grandson?” Grandpa then gazed fondly at the little fellow in his arms. He doted on his grandson, Gabriel, the most. This affection naturally extended to this little boy as well.Gabriel relented. He had been filled with apprehension on their way here but now he felt himself loosen up. It seemed that this little fellow had his own charm — everyone could not help but adore him.“Tell me, how have you been all these years? Did you have a hard time?” Grandpa asked while staring at hi
Thinking up to this point, Cynthia swiftly sat in front of the computer. Her slender fingers flew across the keyboard as she searched for information on the Yorks family.However, there were barely any information on the Yorks family. Her search yielded only two pages worth of information pertaining to the Yorks family. Cynthia was surprised. She clicked on an article that had been published three or four years ago. It contained only a brief summary regarding the struggle for inheritance in the Yorks family. It mentioned that there was a struggle for inheritance in the Yorks family but hardly any other detail was provided.Cynthia clicked on another link. A blogger had attempted to estimate Gabriel’s net worth — coming to a conclusion that it cannot be estimated.Cynthia randomly clicked on a few other links before losing interest. Apparently, the Yorks family was in control of the media, which was very much in line with Gabriel’s tyrannical disposition.At this moment, Linda knocked
Admiring these paintings was a source of enjoyment for some. But for an artist, enjoyment could be derived from admiring just about any object of beauty. Cynthia's beauty called to them.Cynthia was studying a painting when a tall and handsome young man walked over to her and gave a comment on the painting, “A distinct feature of this painting is that there seems to be a sort of fluidity between the compatible and the incompatible tones. It appears that the painter is an uninhibited person.”Cynthia casually replied, “It’s one of Felix‘s earlier paintings. His artistic ingenuity is simply extraordinary.”When the man saw that she had responded, he was delighted. “It seems that you have quite an understanding of paintings.”“It’s somewhat related to my job. That’s probably why I pay extra attention to them.” Cynthia smiled.“It so happens that I’m not too good at it. I wonder if you’ll let me accompany you around to study them.” The man wanted to get to know her further.At this moment
After waiting for a while, the man became miffed and displeased.Why was she taking such a long time in the washroom?Gabriel continued to wait a little longer. He soon came to the realization that she had long exited the washroom and was avoiding him.Damn, this woman had the audacity to avoid him?This seemed to stir up his anger.He strode around the hall looking for Cynthia. After making a round, he still could not find her. His gaze landed on the hallway leading to the buffet area. Eyes narrowed, he headed there.There was a romantic ambience in the dining hall. The roses added a special touch to the dining tables — a perfect setting for a dinner date.With food on their plates, Cynthia and Zack took their seats by the window. They had eaten for quite a while. She seemed a little distracted. She began to wonder whether Gabriel was currently looking for her.Forget it. They did not come to this event together anyway. There wasn’t any need to attend to him.“Ms Cynthia, I’m sure yo
