Winry wiped her tears, moved by his assurance.
Concerned, she said, "Frank, your face... the injury..."
"It's fine. I'll go to the hospital myself. You're not feeling good tonight, go rest."
Winry nodded.
"Yeah, okay... I'll head back."
She displayed a submissive demeanor.
But deep down, she felt uneasy.
About to open the car door, she suddenly remembered something.
She sat back down, leaned towards Frank, and gently hooked her fingers around his neck. "Frank, how about coming upstairs with me..."
Her eyes glinted with calculation.
At this point, advancing their relationship with him seemed necessary.
As Winry leaned in to kiss Frank, puckering her lips in anticipation, Frank turned his head and evaded her advance."Frank?"
Winry hesitated, then her eyes reddened. "So, you still doubt me?"
She withdrew her hand, adopting a defensive stance. "If you don't trust me, then
Two entirely different styles complemented each other perfectly, emitting a graceful charm under the lights. Many in the audience couldn't help but express admiration. "Stunning, truly stunning! Such a rare design!" "Ms. Patel has pleasantly surprised me! This dress is gorgeous; I must bid for it later..." "It's rare to find talent coupled with kindness. Charlotte's talent and generosity truly make her the leading socialite of Cloud City!" ... Applause echoed around the room. Soon, bidding began, voices rising and falling in a flurry of offers. Jenny pursed her lips; though the dress was undoubtedly beautiful, she wasn't interested. She turned to Diana. "Big sis, what do you think of this dress?" Diana rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "The dress? It's okay." Someone nearby glanced at her upon hearing the comment. With John by her side, no one dared to say much, but the implicit disapproval was appar
John lowered his head, his deep eyes reflecting specks of starlight, mesmerizing anyone who looked into them. "I'm not God," he softly uttered, his lips parting slightly. "Not you?" Diana's confusion was palpable. Before she could fathom it, John's hand rested on her waist, gently nudging her forward. "You are." "What?" Diana's expression froze. Simultaneously, from the stage, Melvin's excited voice boomed, "The mysterious God among us is none other than Diana, Ms. Thompson!" As his words echoed, all eyes in the room swiveled towards Diana, fixating entirely on her. Pupils widened in disbelief. Diana? Founder of the 'Azure Star Foundation'? The enigmatic God was her?! Even Diana herself was baffled, "I'm God? How did I not know this?!" "Ms. Thompson, please come on stage and say a few words!" Melvin urged enthusiastically. Diana... had no clue what was happening! Just then, a warm hand grasped he
The old Asian-faced man nodded at John, smiled, and departed. Diana took the card and inspected it. Simple, with only a phone number on it. "Who is that old man?" she asked. John didn't answer, just looked at her, "Do you want to learn design?" Diana nodded. "I do. Actually, I want to learn many things, not confined to one field." She gazed at the man before her, a sweet smile on her face. "After all, to become your wife, I must become exceptionally skilled, right? To match up to you." A glimmer flashed in John's eyes. Though his expression remained unchanged, that sudden gleam revealed his thoughts. "Keep that card," John murmured. Diana nodded. As they turned to leave and approached their car, a voice shouted behind them, "Big sis!" Diana turned. Before she could recognize the person, a pink figure leaped into her arms, tightly embracing her. Jenny looked up at her, eyes
Seraphine wiped her tears, glaring at him disapprovingly. "This is my family matter, not your concern! Let me make it clear, nobody will take Evangeline away from me!" Seeing her obstinate stance, Doctor Bryant knew further persuasion was futile. He shook his head and prepared to leave with his medical kit. Before departing, he offered a final reminder. "Seraphine, if you insist on keeping her at home, make sure to ensure she takes her medication on time. If left uncontrolled, she might engage in extreme behavior." "Understood," Seraphine replied absentmindedly. Throughout the night, perhaps due to the sedative, Evangeline remained remarkably calm. In the morning, Seraphine fetched her keys, quietly unlocking the door, carrying breakfast and medication inside. "Evangeline, wake up, it's time for your medication." Evangeline didn't move. Perplexed, Seraphine approached and nudged her. "Evangeline?" Still,
In that moment, Leah stirred. She blinked faintly, as if about to speak. But the next second, her eyes closed again, and she slumped unconscious. Plunged into endless darkness. Colin, holding her, dashed out of the apartment, racing downstairs. Just as the fire brigade and ambulance arrived. Seeing him in disarray, the firefighters were taken aback. "Young man, you're too impulsive!" Colin paid no attention, placing Leah beside the ambulance. "Doctor, check on her, quick!" The medical team hurriedly attended to Leah, conducting a brief examination. Turning back, the emergency doctor said, "Don't worry, she inhaled too much smoke, temporarily unconscious but not in critical condition." Finishing, the doctor glanced at Colin's scalded hand. "However, your injury needs urgent attention." "I'm fine," Colin's voice remained subdued. Gazing at Leah's sleeping face, he finally relaxed.
"Maybe someone else should assist him," Simmons said, displeased. He hadn't been that intimate with Jephson before. Who was this guy suddenly appearing and getting close to her? "He's injured," Jephson replied calmly. Simmons's gaze turned sour. "I'll ask for someone else to help. Jephson, why are you treating this random guy better than me? What am I to you if you're favoring strangers?" Ben glared, thoroughly displeased. Who do you think you are? Do you really think you're someone special to Dr. Jephson?! "She's a doctor, and she was just looking after me because I was hurt, isn't that normal? What twisted stuff is in your head?" Ben's voice was cold. Simmons fixed his gaze on him. "Hurt? Looks like it's your brain that's injured. Dressing like that, what're you planning to do to Liora? Today, I'll see what kind of shady character you really are!" He reached out to remove Ben's mask. That was it. Ben e
In the hospital, a few nurses excitedly gathered, gesticulating towards a ward. "Did you see him? He's insanely handsome! Like, seriously, where do they make guys like that?" "He's a total heartthrob! When he first showed up, I legit thought he was some celebrity!" "Speaking of which, did you notice? That hottie kinda looks like Fly from FOT, right?!" "Wow! Now that you mention it, totally! Handsome folks are cut from the same cloth, huh?" The nurses giggled, buzzing with excitement. Just then, the door revealed a striking figure. Colin stood there. He calmly stated, "The patient in room six seems to be running a fever. Can someone check on them?" "Absolutely, right away!" The nurses chimed, eager to assist. After Colin returned to his room, the others were both envious and sorrowful. "Ah, but he's got a girlfriend, and it seems like he's head over heels for her, staying by her side the whole tim
Meanwhile, Misoup swiftly knocked Mitbahl down with a kick and then dropped the big hammer onto his chest. "Stay still." The hammer made a dull thud as it pressed against Mitbahl's chest, startling the assistant director. "Wow, these props are getting realistic," the assistant director murmured, noticing the dirt on the hammer. Someone might mistake it for a real one! Diana sensed something was off. "Wait, this seems like..." Thud! Before Diana could finish, Misoup's hammer came crashing down again, hitting on Mitbahl's chest with a loud bang. "Whoa?!" The assistant director staggered back, finally realizing something was wrong. Bending down, he touched the hammer, feeling its weight and texture. It was unbelievably real! His expression twisted in shock. This wasn't a prop—it was an actual hammer! The assistant director froze in horror. They'd... they'd caused harm! Oh my! They'd harmed s
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
