Maddie sat in the coffee shop, flipping through the news articles about her elevator incident with Tony, feeling extremely excited.
It would be perfect if she could capture a private meeting between her and Tony on camera.
However, it seemed that he was more guarded against her now, making it difficult to have a private encounter.
She frowned with a tinge of disappointment and finished her coffee before leaving.
Her phone balance was running low again; she needed to ask William for more money.
Humming a song, Maddie dialed William's number.
But just as she took a few steps, she suddenly heard a faint voice behind her, "Maddie?"
Maddie froze and quickly turned around, recognizing a familiar face.
Luke?!
He was wearing a gray coat, his once handsome and fair face now bearing a few scars, with prominent bags under his eyes, appearing quite exhausted.
"Maddie, is it really you!"
Seeing her, Luke was
This was the first time John took so long to reply to her messages, and Diana felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. A strange sourness spread within her, making her feel a bit gloomy. Oh well, it's time to sleep. She turned off the lamp on the bedside table. Just as she had arranged the blanket and lay down for a while, a rhythmic knocking sound suddenly came from outside. At this hour, who could it be? Diana furrowed her brow, and the first person that came to her mind was that mischievous Tony. She closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep. However, the knocking persisted, every few seconds. This calm rhythm didn't seem like Tony's style... Diana opened her eyes, got out of bed, and walked towards the door. She took a quick glance through the peephole. With just one look, she saw someone she didn't expect. Diana's pupils slightly dilated, and her heartbeat skipped a beat. Almost instantly, she
John's sharp eyes seemed to possess a penetrating power, seeing through Diana's thoughts clearly. Diana inexplicably felt a bit guilty and instinctively shrunk her neck. "Haha, you really are... pure and innocent," she laughed, trying to lighten the mood. John's eyes narrowed as he leaned in and pressed his lips against her cherry blossom-colored ones. He didn't close his eyes; his deep gaze fixed upon the fluttering eyelashes of the person beneath him as two flames slowly ignited. His lips covered hers, and his tongue parted her teeth, seeking out her own. They intertwined in a dance of passion. His hands didn't idle either, casually moving over her chest, causing Diana's clothes to instantly come undone. She was shocked. Wide-eyed, she grasped his face and gasped, "How... how are you so skilled?!" That arrogant man, could it be that he had slept with others behind her back?! John held her fingertips an
John's body seemed to tense up for a moment, and then he whispered, "I can't sleep." "But you're a patient. You need to rest well and close your eyes." "Even if I close my eyes, I can't fall asleep." Diana: ... Why does John, who is sick, seem stubborn for no reason? Diana thought for a moment. "How about I sing you a song? As you listen, you might just fall asleep." "No need," John promptly refused. She sang, and it was truly awful. Diana felt upset. "Do you think I sing poorly?" "No, I don't," he replied. Upon hearing his words, Diana cleared her throat and started singing, "Underneath the big bridge by the gate, a group of ducks swim. Come, come, let's count them, two, four, six, seven, eight..." "Childish," John said. Diana: ... Well, he's a patient now. It's not worth arguing with him. So she changed to a different song. "Who seduces and dares to pluck the for
Luke was taken aback. Was she expecting him to humble himself before her? A shadow of gloom flickered across his face. After all this time, Diana's arrogant personality hadn't changed! But if she could forgive him, everything else was insignificant. Moreover, winning Diana back would undoubtedly be a significant blow to John... John... The thought of that person filled Luke's heart with hatred. He immediately said, "Diana, I apologize to you. I was in the wrong all along. I was blind and didn't appreciate you. I'm sorry!" "As long as you can forgive me, I'll do anything you say! I genuinely want to be with you now!" After finishing his words, he anxiously looked at Diana. However, Diana didn't show the expected signs of softening; instead, she crossed her arms and frowned in dissatisfaction. "Luke, apologizing so casually is such an easy thing that anyone can do. Do you think that will er
John lifted his phoenix-like eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning. "So... little girl, what do you think of me?" After hearing Luke's words, Diana stood in front of the car, remaining silent for a moment. Just when Luke thought he had persuaded her. Diana slightly raised her head, and then her cherry lips moved. "I know." Luke widened his eyes, "You... you know?" "I know what kind of person John is, better than you do." Diana flicked a strand of hair from her forehead and tucked it behind her ear, a glimmer of coldness in her eyes. "He is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than scum like you!" "He is strong, devoted, gentle, kind... He possesses countless wonderful qualities that you, scum like you, can never compare to!" Upon hearing those words, Jackson, sitting in the car, coughed violently, almost spitting out his drink. Being strong and devoted seemed acceptable to him. But gentle and
"Hey, baby sis!" A beautifully chiseled face appeared on the screen. Ben had dyed his hair chestnut brown, applied light makeup on his face, and was wearing a black jacket, adding a touch of coolness to his original handsomeness. "Ben!" Diana was also thrilled. Ben had been going through intense training recently, and the company had hired a famous musician to produce an album for them. It seemed like it was about to be released. Diana recalled the timeline, and it should be within these two days when the album would be launched. "Diana! I'm releasing an album, and I wanted you to be the first to hear it, but the company won't allow me to reveal it. It's driving me crazy!" "Don't worry, Ben. I'll make sure to buy it as soon as it's out. I'll buy ten copies, a hundred copies!" "Diana... my dear sister, I love you~" Ben's face was filled with emotions. His words made Diana burst into laughter. "Kis
"But Professor, I remember Colin's research direction was nebulae. Suddenly switching to studying black holes, especially such a profound topic, he might struggle to adapt, won't he...?" Nathaniel tried to speak politely, but deep inside, he was extremely frustrated. "What a joke!" He had been studying the direction of black holes for many years, reading countless books and materials. Now Colin suddenly decides to compete with him? Is this some kind of joke? As expected, when Dean Blackwell heard his words, he nodded slightly. "Indeed, Colin's sudden interest in this field requires him to learn and grasp more knowledge than you, so I've given him an extra month." Nathaniel remained silent. One month? He had been studying this for a full four years! "I've reviewed his research proposal, and compared to you, he lacks some detailed theories and references. It's a bit vague..." Dean Blackwell said. U
Colin didn't say anything. After bidding farewell, he turned and walked away. Leah quickly caught up with him. Once they were out of Dean Blackwell's sight, Colin turned to her. "What do you want from me?" "I heard you've been busy lately, not eating properly. It's not good for your health, especially..." Leah's gaze fell on his arm, and she let out a slight cough. "If you're injured." Colin's mouth twitched. She was surprised she could bring herself to say it. "Colin!" Just as they reached the ground floor, they heard a clear and vibrant call. Leah turned her head and saw the girl named Audrey from last time, eagerly running towards them. And... she was carrying a lunchbox too! "Is it you?!" Upon seeing Leah, Audrey's expression instantly turned sour. She coldly snorted and pushed her lunch box towards Colin. "Colin, it's past lunchtime now. You must be starving. I personally coo
At another table, Frank sat staring at Liam in his smart suit, his brow slightly furrowed."Hey, been causing trouble lately?"Liam rolled his eyes, displeased. "No.""What's with the haircut then? Going for the military look?""My mom made me." Liam sipped his champagne. "She thought my old hairstyle looked too thug-like for Uncle John's wedding, so she took matters into her own hands.""No worries, I think this look suits you."Beside him, Rose tilted her head, looking at him with adoration."You know what? I think any look suits you, I just really like you.""Cough~"Liam choked a bit.He cleared his throat, "Don't say such things in front of everyone.""Sure, sorry~" Rose nodded obediently.Frank thought to himself, Damn. Even my bro's nephew is showing off in front of me? Can't let this slide!He turned to Jenny with a mischievous grin."Jenny, do you think my hairstyle looks good
Upon arriving, she put her hands on her hips, adopting an accusatory posture."Look at this, I left for just a moment, and you're already being targeted by women. How can I ever feel safe letting you go out?"John's deep gaze slightly lowered. "And you?"Diana looked down at the Red Rose in her hand, feeling a bit guilty."Uh..." She reached out and presented the rose to John: "It's for you."John remained silent.Instead, the little baby in his arms stretched out a hand, grabbed the Red Rose, and then happily held it in her arms.Diana chuckled, pinching the little baby's soft cheek."Oh, our Tiger likes flowers~"The little baby stretched out her short arms toward Kevin, earnestly offering him the flower.The little baby handed the flower to him!Diana was astonished."My goodness, Tiger, you can't even speak and you're already trying to win over little boys?!"Truly her daughter!Kev
Kevin pulled on his turtle shell bag strap, seriously said: "I really have to go now, remember, my name is Kevin Nelson."Saying that, he turned his head and was ready to leave."Wait a moment."Kevin stopped in his tracks, turned his head, looked at him with a complex gaze.What...Did his brother remember something, or was he reluctant to part with him?Yosef picked up a Red Rose beside him."This, take it."Kevin was somewhat surprised: "Give it to me? But I'm a man, why would you give me a rose?""It's not for you."Yosef handed the flower to him, glanced at the distant girl, and said: "It's for her."Kevin: "...I just told you, my sister has a husband and a child, are you still not giving up?"Kevin thought: Oh, no! My brother may falls again in the same place after losing his memory!"What are you talking about." Yosef interrupted his thoughts: "I didn't think about pursuing her."
Kevin let himself be led by Yosef's hand, and they both sat on the swing in front of the flower shop.Once seated, the little kid beside Yosef didn't make a sound.He wore a bowl cut hairstyle, carried a big turtle shell backpack, and lowered his head, lost in thought.Yosef occasionally glanced over at him.After a while, he couldn't remind silence any more."You..."Hearing his voice, Kevin immediately turned his head, his eyes sparkling as he looked at him.Full of anticipation.Yosef slowly opened his mouth: "This outfit... who bought it for you?""My brother, what about it?""To be honest, your brother's taste isn't great." Looking at the little one's green onesie, Yosef slightly frowned, "Ugly."Kevin: ……This outfit was something Kevin had insisted on buying for his fifth birthday.He also bought a larger size for Yosef, as matching brother outfits.Although Yosef never wore it,
Hearing this, Kevin covered his mouth: "You mean... my brother's mind is damaged?"Godber corrected: "This is called mental issues.""Isn't that the same thing?"Godber: ...It seems so.Diana frowned. "Yosef lost his memory? With so many enemies, your situation should be unfavorable now, right?"Godber: "Mr. Nelson had already anticipated this. Before completely losing his memory, he divided the remaining power of the Nelson family into three parts, assigning them to the other three members of the Nelson family to keep each other in check, while he decided to retire due to health reasons."Kirin nodded. "So, currently, apart from us and Patrick, no one else in the Nelson family knows Mr. Nelson has lost his memory, thinking he's stepping down due to health reasons."Kevin asked: "Then where is my brother now?"Kirin glanced at Diana and John beside him, hesitating whether to speak.But then he heard John calmly say: "Gri
John's voice had a lazy, sexy edge."Sleep a bit more.""...Okay."Diana turned over, adjusting to a comfortable position, leaning into his embrace.Just as she was about to drift off, she felt the hand on her waist start to move along her curves.Wherever it touched, it ignited sparks.Diana's eyes flew open, and she turned her head.Behind her, John still had his eyes closed, his expression as calm as if he were asleep.But the hand under the covers was very much awake.This beast.Diana turned around and bit his Adam's apple.John frowned slightly, then opened his eyes.His deep gaze locked onto the girl in his arms.As if capturing prey, with a wild possessiveness.Diana knew that look well.It was the same look he gave her last night.She squinted. "Again?"His response was another wave of kisses....Diana became an overnight sensation without an
Reeves turned back and glared at Morse.Wanting to say something to retort against this guy.But he found... There was nothing to say...He looked at the cold and noble man beside Diana and felt an extremely complex mix of emotions.From the moment this man appeared, he knew he had lost.Lost utterly.John slightly lifted his eyes and swept them over Reeves holding roses.Facing the man's icy and profound gaze, Reeves felt somewhat nervous.Just as he thought John would question him, he saw John casually withdraw his gaze and look at the girl beside him."Do you like it?"Reeves: ... This man actually completely ignored me!Being ignored hurt Reeves' pride even more than being questioned!It meant that this man simply didn't regard Reeves as a threat!Unable to help himself, Reeves said."Are you Miss Thompson's fiancé?"Hearing this, Morse behind him covered his eyes with his ha
Hearing this, Frank approached her and whispered, "Big sis, think it through. This guy doesn't seem too smart; having him around might lower our overall standard.""Don't worry, if you can work well in the studio, so can he."Frank: ???Reeves beamed with joy: "Then, Miss Thompson, please accept my flowers first. When I join the Blue Rose Studio, we can get to know each other better.""I welcome you to Blue Rose as a designer, but I can't accept your flowers or feelings.""Why?""Because I already have someone I love."Reeves: ......He opened his mouth slightly, then his expression fell."Who is it?"Reeves scanned the group behind Diana one by one.A bunch of top-notch handsome guys and beautiful girls almost blinded him.This...Each one was very likely!Reeves had a complex expression on his face: "May I ask impertinently, the person you like, is it a man or a woman?"Diana:
Faced with the relentless questions from the reporters, Diana remained calm.She nodded."The name Blue Rose does hold a special meaning for me. As for Reeves, I'm not familiar with him; I have nothing to say.""Miss Thompson, you're so young and accomplished; how about your love life? Do you have a boyfriend?"Hearing this, Ben immediately stepped forward."This is Diana's privacy; we refuse to answer!"The reporters were taken aback for a moment.Everyone stared at Ben wearing a hat; suddenly, excitement surged: "Isn’t this Big Star Fly? Why did he suddenly appear here?"Someone seemed to realize something."Could it be that Fly and Thompson are a couple?!""You're talking nonsense! Diana is my biological sister; stop spouting rubbish here! And this is my girlfriend!"Saying that, Ben pulled Liora over and tightly grasped her hand."This is my girlfriend; Diana is my sister, got it?!"Hearin
