Jenny indeed meant no harm, but she was too naive.
The concern was that she might be taken advantage of by some ill-intentioned individuals.
Mr. Harrison held the chess pieces in his hands, unable to resist playing with them, his interest piqued.
His gaze swept around the room, finally landing on Frank. "Frank, since you've come today, how about playing a game of chess with me?"
"It's me again?" Frank groaned. He wanted to chat with his big sister!
"You brat, what's wrong with playing a game of chess with me? Come over here!" Mr. Harrison exclaimed, clutching the chess pieces and happily walking towards the stairs.
Reluctantly, Frank followed along.
After taking a few steps, Mr. Harrison looked towards John. "John, why don't you take Diana out for a walk, and stay for dinner tonight as well?"
Diana was about to decline, but Mr. Harrison quickly added, "I've specially arranged to have fresh jumbo prawns flown in from out
"Have you considered what I told you about the endorsement for Hero's Challenge game?" "I haven't really thought about it... Why are you so concerned about this?" She had been busy with university matters and hadn't given it much thought. Frank scratched his head irritably, "How can I not be concerned about it?" "I heard some inside information. If you don't agree, the officials are planning to replace you with another celebrity named Natalie Campbell. I've seen her, she's so artificial. I don't want her to ruin my youth!" As an experienced gamer, it felt like having your beloved game being taken away and raised by someone unreliable. Diana pondered for a moment. She was familiar with this Natalie Campbell, a terrible actress who had no notable works except for marketing herself all the time. "Are the officials blind? Why did they choose her?" Frank raised a finger mysteriously, "Natalie has influential backers
Although Diana had a basic idea of why John was here, she still asked as she watched the departing servant, "Um... Is this room for me alone?" "Ms. Thompson, Mr. Harrison said that this is your and Mr. John's room for tonight. The other guest rooms haven't been prepared in time. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." The servant smiled and quickly slipped away. Diana was dumbfounded. This reason is just too far-fetched! How could the prestigious Matthews family not even have a properly prepared empty room?! It seemed that Mr. Harrison wanted her and John to share a room, eager for them to hurry up and have a child! But why was the old man so anxious? Could it be that John's cryptic remark today, "Working on it," made Mr. Harrison feel the need to lend a hand to this couple? Diana turned her head quietly and immediately saw the tall and elegant figure sitting on the pink bed in the center, dressed in a bla
As John stepped out, he immediately noticed a little girl wrapped up in a bundle of blankets, with only her small head sticking out and holding a phone, seemingly engrossed in something.She looked incredibly adorable.John couldn't help but squint his eyes.When Diana turned around, she was greeted with a captivating image of a handsome guy who could easily stir one's heart, as if straight out of a magazine.John stood at the doorway, wearing a bathrobe loosely tied around his waist with a cord. His slightly damp hair clung to his head.His exquisite facial features were sculpted like a work of art, and his deep eyes resembled two solitary stars.Contrary to her expectations, he didn't flaunt his well-built figure, but rather dressed conservatively.In fact, only his neck was visible.However, in the current situation, this restrained allure was even more provocative than blatant nudity.The more modestly he dressed, th
In Diana's thought, John actually spoke without changing his expression about buying sanitary pads to the maid outside. She was curious about how the maid would react to his words! But the truth was not what Diana thought... Diana lay motionless on the bed for a moment. Then, there was a knock on the door from outside. John walked over and opened it, and then... he brought in a steaming cup of ginger tea! Diana:... "It's a little hot," John said, holding the cup and solemnly handing it to her. His handsome face had a bright "seeking praise" expression. Diana, with mixed emotions, accepted it and spoke, "Thank you... but, John, I still need..." "Well, I've prepared that for you too," John said considerately, taking out a heating pad. "Should I place it on your lower abdomen?" Hey, listen to me till the end! If this continues any longer, I might have a river of blood. Diana placed the cup aside and
Damn it, the fire that had just subsided had come back up. Unfortunately, Diana turned over, wrapped herself up and absentmindedly said to him, "Goodnight, I'm going to sleep!" John: ...... A trace of helpless smile played at the corners of his lips. "Goodnight." ... The Next Day. Diana slept soundly through the night, feeling completely satisfied. After getting ready and freshening up, breakfast was already prepared. Faced with a table full of delicious food, her stomach growled right on cue. "Diana, come down and have breakfast." Mr. Harrison waved at her, his eyes filled with a smile. Diana immediately ran over and sat properly at the table. It was her first time having a meal at the Matthews' ancestral home, but surprisingly, it didn't feel as awkward as she had imagined. She had initially planned to be conscious of her appearance, but halfway through the meal, she cou
"Alright." John replied indifferently. After the little girl on the other end of the line hung up, he placed his phone down. At the same time, Ethan walked out from inside. "Boss, it's done." "That means we won't see him again." John extended his slender fingers and lightly tapped the marble tabletop, then a mocking curve formed at the corner of his mouth. "Notify Max Matthews to make sure he hides his illegitimate son next time, so he won't come to bother me again." ... On Saturday, at an astronomical observatory in America. Colin had just reached the entrance when he suddenly heard a clear and vibrant voice. "Colin!" He turned around and saw a familiar face. Leah was dressed in a light blue suit, wearing a pair of white boots. Her slightly curled long hair flowed behind her, making her stand out in the crowd. "Leah... Leah Phillips?" A hint of surprise flashed in Colin's eyes. "What a coincidence to meet you here!" Leah walked over, a smile of delight on her face, fol
"Oh? With so many opportunities to interact with Colin, it seems you haven't managed to win him over!" Leah sarcastically replied, "Seems like you're just a good buddy in his eyes." "You..." Audrey Morgan seethed with anger. This promiscuous girl! Her tongue is so venomous! Leah noticed Audrey's infuriated complexion and felt a bit relieved. Holding her canvas bag, she tossed her long hair and walked away gracefully. But deep down, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable. Not because of Audrey. But because of Colin. His nonchalant attitude towards another man asking for her contact information indicated that he simply wasn't interested in her. Leah became increasingly annoyed the more she thought about it. At this moment, the astronomy museum started to fill with more people. Next to her were a middle-aged couple who seemed to be husband and wife. The man, slightly overweight, had a
"Oh, I see..." Diana didn't dwell on it too much. She blinked her eyes and looked at Andrew. She asked, "By the way, is Colin at home?" Since there was no news from Leah, she felt something was off. So, she decided to gather some information from her own Colin. "Colin is in his room." "After coming back from that exhibition yesterday, is Colin doing okay?" "He's doing fine," Andrew said with a smile. "Just a fractured bone." "What?!" Diana thought she misheard. "If he was fine, how did he fracture a bone?!" Could it be that bastard Leah couldn't handle rejection and harmed Colin?! "I heard Colin accidentally fell. Don't worry, there's no life-threatening danger," Andrew remained calm. "Diana, how about accompanying me for an afternoon tea?" Diana: ...What the hell? Forget the afternoon tea! Don't you worry about Colin? "Well... I'll go check on Colin." Diana turned her head and ran upstairs.
