"Don't move," John cautioned, holding her waist.
"What's wrong?" Diana inquired.
"We might start a fire with all that friction," he replied with a sly grin.
Diana's mind raced for a moment before she caught on to his meaning. "You... are you being naughty?" She blinked, and then immediately realized she might have crossed a line.
...
With a swift movement, Diana's face turned crimson.
"I won't move... let's just sleep," she stammered, scrambling to extricate herself from John's embrace and clutching the bedsheet in a fluster.
John's eyes, like a phoenix's, narrowed as he gazed intently at the petite woman before him, as if she were his prey. He had assumed she'd grown bolder, but it seemed he had overestimated her.
She talked a big game, but when it came to action, she was nothing more than a harmless bunny.
He couldn't help but think...
Of devouring her.
Diana was getting ready to slip under the
"Oh my goodness, I just lost my love and family bond in one split second!" He leaned in toward Misoup. "Hold on... Little Misoup, your face is turning red." "No, it's not." "Yes, it is!" "I'm telling you, it's not!" "If you don't believe me, I'll take a picture and show you..." Smack! Midway through Mitbahl's sentence, the chair beneath him was abruptly kicked from under him. He tumbled to the floor with a loud thud, chair and all, letting out a pig-like squeal. "Ah! My sausage!" The people at the nearby table, except for Leah who watched with keen interest, continued eating their breakfast, seemingly unfazed. It appeared to be an everyday occurrence. Diana sighed to herself, "What a lively start to the day." Diana descended the stairs slowly. "Mitbahl, you're injured. You should pay attention to your wounds," she said. "Boss! And madam!" Mitbahl's eyes sparkled. Oh, how touched h
"Diana is the daughter of my dearest friend, and I trust my judgment," Ms. Jones said confidently. She turned to Diana and Leah. "Let's head over to the stage for our performance." "Of course, Aunt Jones," Diana replied. As they were about to leave, Emily crossed her arms and raised her voice, "Ms. Jones, I can't quite figure out this 'Thompson' girl, but I must warn you, that 'Leah' is completely unfit to be a pianist. Don't let her tarnish your reputation!" "You need not worry about that, and I have some advice for you as well," Ms. Jones retorted calmly. With that, Ms. Jones led the two young musicians away. Emily furrowed her brow. What did this mean? Was she undermining Scarlett? Scarlett was her proudest student; how could she tarnish her reputation? It was utter nonsense! "Scarlett, let's go," Emily said, looking at Scarlett and preparing to leave. However, Scarlett remained standing in place. "Professor... I hav
For so many years, she had been living alone. Suddenly, two little girls had brought some liveliness into her home. After finishing dinner, Diana headed to the piano room to discuss the modifications to the piece with Ms. Jones. Once they were done with their work, the sky had grown dark. Leah descended the stairs with a helpless expression on her face, clutching her phone. "Sis, if you don't answer your phone soon, your man is probably going to storm over here." Leah shook her phone and continued, "I don't even know how he got my number. He called me all icy and asked about you... I nearly froze to death." "John?" Diana picked up her own phone and realized that John had made several missed calls. Her eyes widened slightly. "I had my phone on silent. I need to call him back right away!" Saying that, she hurriedly left the room with her phone in hand. Watching her retreating figure, a complex expression f
Leah turned her head and saw Diana leaning against the edge of the bed, her expression gradually becoming indescribable. Seemingly... sympathetic. Leah: ... Leah:"Do you think I'm a little pitiful?" Diana nodded. Leah: "...I kind of am too, but I'm okay with it." The potato chips in her hand didn't taste as good anymore. Leah pulled the blanket over her head. Time for sleep. ... In the middle of the night, Diana was in a drowsy slumber when she was abruptly awakened by the chill. She reached out and, sure enough, her blanket had been kicked to the side. Sitting up, she pulled the displaced blanket back to the bed's edge. "Ah, it's so much better sleeping with John," she thought groggily to herself. "He not only covers me with warmth but also a sense of security." Lost in these sleepy thoughts, she lay back down. Suddenly, something felt off. Diana sat up ab
[Diana: But we met some of Leah's former classmates here, and they said some things that might have upset her. Could that be related?] [Colin: It's possible. The doctor's hypothesis is that long-term traumatic experiences from her past have left a significant psychological scar, and she's trapped in those memories, unable to move on, resulting in an alter ego.] Diana couldn't help but feel concerned. [Diana: What if it continues to deteriorate? Could there be any long-term consequences?] [Colin: There's a possibility she might remain stuck in her alter ego, unable to emerge.] Diana's fingertips paused for a moment. She remembered Leah's innocent and adorable appearance from the night before and instinctively glanced over at Leah. Leah was sitting on the couch in a pristine June-style white outfit, engrossed in her game. Sensing Diana's gaze, Leah looked up. "Why are you staring at me like that? Did something happen afte
After the others had left, Diana turned to Aunt Jones with a somewhat probing question. "Aunt Jones, do you... have any reservations about John?" She had been pondering this since yesterday. Aunt Jones calmly denied, "Not at all." "Really?" Diana was surprised. "John can come off a bit aloof sometimes, and I thought you might not like that..." "That's not aloof at all. I think he's quite charming. Diana, you have good taste; a guy who looks that good must have an impressive personality." Diana looked at her, puzzled. "But, didn't you say yesterday that inner qualities matter the most?" "That's right. As the saying goes, 'beauty is only skin deep.' Look at how good he looks; he can't possibly have a lackluster personality." Aunt Jones gave an expression that seemed to see through everything. "To be honest, since he brought over that gown yesterday, I had a feeling this young man must be exceptional." "Well, if you don't
Amy sat in the corner, her eyes wide open. Too... powerful! Diana's skill far exceeded her expectations. After a moment of shock, she snapped back to reality. Her livestream was still on! Amy lowered her head and saw that the barrage of comments had filled the screen. "OMG! I'm blown away! This is more amazing than the Freshmen Welcome Ceremony!" "I unilaterally declare Diana as my forever goddess!" "Amazing! Amazing! I'm uneducated, so all I can say is amazing!" "I didn't pay attention to the music; I was too busy licking my screen..." ... Amy was furious and abruptly ended her livestream, feeling utterly lost. Is this what Scarlett referred to as 'elementary school level'? Was she being fooled? She had no desire to stay in this place for even a second longer. Amy gritted her teeth, pushed through the crowd, and made her way out. On the stage, Ms. Jones, a
He lowered his gaze to Diana. "What did he say to you?" For some reason, Yosef's gaze had made him feel uneasy. Was he trying to take something from him? Could it be... At the thought of that possibility, a fierce storm of anger swirled in his eyes, revealing his murderous intent. "John." Diana reached out and placed her hand on his back, giving it a gentle squeeze. She astutely sensed John's thoughts. Diana forced a casual smile. "He didn't say much, just asked me for some sapphires and wanted my ruby necklace!" "The necklace?" "Yes." Diana's eyes held genuine sincerity. "Thank goodness you came, though. It scared me to death!" John's deep eyes flickered and then fell into silence. "I'm fine, but Mitbahl, your injuries haven't healed yet, have they? Did he hurt you just now?" Diana changed the subject, turning her attention to Mitbahl. "Madam, I'm alright," Mitbah
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
