Her heart began to race.
Inside John's bedroom, he casually removed his suit jacket and tossed it onto the sofa. Then, he retrieved a robe from the closet.
Standing by the bed, he loosened his tie, looking down at Diana from his elevated position.
It was as if he was sizing up his prey.
Diana's heart skipped a beat, and she blinked. "What are you doing?"
"Taking a shower," John replied succinctly.
Diana's mind went blank for a moment, and she stammered, "What about me?"
At his words, John's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. "Would you like to join me?"
Diana was left speechless.
Before Diana could reply, John reached out, gently caressing her face, his fingers tracing her red lips. "It'll be over soon, don't be impatient," he whispered.
Then, he walked into the bathroom.
Diana snapped back to reality in an instant.
Impatient? Who's impatient?
Clearly, he was the one in a hurry!
What do you mean I have good stamina?! Was her mind filled with inappropriate thoughts that quickly? Or were all men naturally inclined this way? She coughed twice, and a glass of water appeared by her side. Turning her head, she saw John handing her the glass of water with one hand while supporting his head with the other, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. His gaze was on the verge of overflowing with indulgence. Diana's heart raced under his scrutiny. She took the glass of water and took a few hesitant sips. "Why haven't you gone to the office yet?" "No rush. I'll take you home first," John said casually and then suddenly leaned in. His warm breath carried a hint of aggression. Diana felt a bit uncomfortable and shifted away from him, putting a little more distance between them. John glanced at her and then reached for the cup of coffee that was sitting beside her. A hint of curiosity sparkled
Anthony nodded thoughtfully. Ben emerged from the kitchen with a freshly prepared dish, and upon seeing the two at the table, he instantly flared up. "Damn it! If you guys aren't going to help, at least don't sneak a bite!" "What do you mean 'sneak a bite'? I'm openly enjoying this," Anthony grinned mischievously, "Do you really think some mysterious big shot is going to show up? Which big shot eats like this?" "Yeah, in the end, it'll just be me and Anthony eating," Leo added. Ben glared at them, "It's my baby sister's order, even if she's fooling me, I'll gladly go along with it. So keep your paws off!" Leo and Anthony exchanged a glance and then shook their heads. This guy was beyond help, a hopeless sister-lover. Leo checked the time. "It's already twelve; the person probably won't show up, right?" Anthony plopped down on his seat, "I'll start eating then." "Spit it out!" Ben rushed over and
A shiver ran down his spine, and he stood there frozen in place. Could this really be happening? Diana, oblivious to his internal turmoil, introduced them. "Ben, this is my teammate Leo. You should know him." Ben held her hand and whispered in her ear, "Don't be fooled by his good looks; he's actually quite immature. Don't let his on-screen image deceive you." Diana rolled her eyes internally, thinking, Ben, you're no less immature, are you? "I got it," she nodded with a faint smile. Hearing her voice, Leo felt like his chest was about to constrict. Familiar! This voice... So incredibly familiar! Ben had Diana seated at the table and was completely oblivious to Leo's somewhat unusual expression. "Diana, this is the Russian braised beef I made for you, along with some salmon sashimi, and Kung Pao chicken..." Ben, with a doting expression, served her food. As he was serving
Ben muttered, suddenly feeling uneasy, "What did you just call me?" "Big bro." Ben raised an eyebrow, "Did you take the wrong medication again?" Leo exclaimed, "Damn, Leo, are you saying you've fallen for my angel too?" Anthony got up from the ground, showing his sharp little fangs, ready to fight. Leo gave him a scornful look. "Get lost. I met her long before you did!" "Enough of this. I have to be honest with you now," Leo said with a serious expression. "Ben, your sister is the motorcycle girl I've been searching for." Anthony was shocked. "You're talking nonsense! How could my angel be your motorcycle girl?" "You idiot, it was you who coveted my motorcycle girl. Don't you understand the concept of 'first come, first served'?" Anthony sneered, "Hah, I fell in love with my angel at first sight. What about you?" Leo retorted, "Back off, she's my motorcycle girl for life. Can you compete with that?"
He quickly covered Diana's eyes. "Diana, don't look!" Diana remained silent. "Ben, it's okay." "No, you're still a kid!" Diana was utterly speechless. If Ben knew what she had done with John, would he faint right here? Anthony, clutching his side, lay on the ground. "Seriously! It's just a damn shirt. Is it that big of a deal?" Leo threw his jacket over to him, looking disdainful. "Is this the only thing you're good at?" "I can also be incredibly handsome!" Anthony defended himself with confidence. Diana pulled Ben's hand down. "Ben, I don't get to see you often. How about you sing a song for me?" "Me?" Ben blinked, then his eyes lit up. "Sure!" In the past, Diana had never shown interest in hearing him sing, not even during his days as a trainee. Although he knew Diana had changed a lot, this was still the first time she had asked to hear him sing. Ben too
"So soon?" Ben seemed a bit reluctant. He efficiently packed the delectable treats into containers. "Sweetie, you have to come visit me more often." "I will, after all, your cooking is my favorite, Ben." Ben beamed with delight as he filled the containers to the brim, almost wanting to send her off with the whole kitchen. Little did he know, Diana had one more request. "Ben, could you reduce the amount of crab? John has an allergy to crab meat." Ben paused, surprised. "John?"
It was as if an invisible hand had smoothed away the rough edges in John's heart. His fingers moved downward, lightly tracing her waist through her coat. Diana's waist felt supple. Today, she happened to be wearing a white lamb's wool jacket. She looked just like a soft, cuddly little lamb. So enticingly tender. It made it hard for anyone to resist the urge... to tease. John's long, beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as he checked his wristwatch. Then he uttered two words. "Meeting adjourned." Adjourned... the meeting was adjourned? After a brief moment of stunned silence, the group nearly burst into tears of joy. They were finally released. Those two hours of the meeting felt like they had spent two years in prison. What an ordeal! John left the crowd behind, holding Diana's small hand as he led her into his office. Once inside, he wrapped his arm around the
John released her lips. He saw the glimmer of moisture in her eyes, a hint of vulnerability on her face. She clutched his suit tightly with both hands. "You bit me too hard." Her lips were swollen from the kiss, and there was a tiny cut that had turned slightly crimson. "I'm sorry," John apologized. John extended his finger and gently wiped away the bloodstain from her lips. What had once been cherry blossom-colored lips had turned into a vibrant shade of rose. They looked even more enticing now. He tilted his head slightly and extended his tongue, delicately licking her wound. It carried a hint of metallic sweetness, further igniting the desire he had been struggling to contain. His tender kisses landed on her forehead, eyes, and nose, then circled back to her lips, tracing them with gentle kisses. His journey continued downward, kissing her slender, fair neck. The marks from their previous encounter had mostly
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
