Soon, the sound of a car starting echoed from the yard as Andrew slowly drove away from the Thompson residence. Inside the mansion, an unusual silence fell.
Diana let out a soft sigh and quickly made her way upstairs to James's study room. Opening the door, she found James sitting on the nearby sofa, his expression tense and somewhat grim.
Upon seeing her, James raised his gaze slightly. "Andrew left?" he asked.
"He did," Diana furrowed her brows slightly. "Dad, Andrew came all this way, and you managed to drive him away again. It's been so long, can't you just have a decent conversation with him?"
"How did I not have a decent conversation? That brat clearly can't take a hint. He infuriates me!" James replied sharply.
Diana was a bit speechless. She always thought her dad was a bit old-fashioned but ultimately kind-hearted and understanding. But on this matter, wasn't he being unreasonable?
Just as she was about to speak, she noticed t
Wesley: ... How did she figure that out? Is it so obvious on my face? Wesley's expression shifted slightly, and he coughed lightly, "You're overthinking it. I don't have that intention." "Then why are you waiting by my door?" Wesley: ... "Which eye did you see me waiting for you with? I'm here because I got the wrong room. I'm leaving now!" Wesley was infuriated. Every time he tried to help her, he ended up getting angry. She was impossible to deal with. But the thought of her, a newcomer without any connections, being targeted by Amelia like that, made him feel uneasy. Wesley hesitated for a moment, then resignedly walked back. "You can't handle Amelia. I'll help you." At his words, Leah's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she looked at him, suddenly smiling. "You want to help me?" "Yeah." "Hmm," Leah chuckled mischievously, "So, you do have a thing for me." "Are you crazy? Wh
"How so?" "It's hard to describe. He seems quite mysterious, not like the person I remember. It's like there's a desire to get to know him." Diana put on her coat. "Where are you?" "Huh?" "I'm free right now, I'll come over and help you out." ... Diana hopped into her car and drove for an hour until she reached the restaurant Jenny had mentioned. It wasn't in the heart of the city but nestled deep within an old alleyway. At the end of the alley, there was a hidden gem, and the scenery suddenly opened up before her eyes. It was an exquisitely designed restaurant. In front of the restaurant was a large lake with a semi-circular arched bridge spanning across it. Fat koi fish swam gracefully in the emerald waters, adding a picturesque touch to the scene. Upon entering, Diana followed Jenny's instructions and went upstairs. Each table in the restaurant was separated by intricately carved wooden screens. There weren't many pe
Seeing Diana inside, Marlowe paused. That woman... Have they met before? Was Yosef just with her? Marlowe furrowed his brow, casting a displeased glance at Diana before briskly descending the stairs. As soon as Yosef's figure disappeared from view, Diana emerged, holding a spoon, her emotions complex. "Big sis." A voice suddenly pierced the air behind her, startling Diana. "Whoa... didn't expect to find you here." Diana gave the girl before her a wry expression. "Jenny, what are you doing lurking around?" "Big sis, are you... having an affair?" "What nonsense is that?" "I just saw it moments ago." Jenny wore a grave expression. That man, dressed in a suit with an air of sophistication, had spent quite some time chatting with her big sis in the small room. Why couldn't they talk outside? Why here? Diana rolled her eyes in exasperation. "What are you thinking? I have
Inside the room, James and Tony were engrossed in a game of chess when they suddenly heard rustling sounds outside the door. James froze for a moment, feeling an inexplicable sense of guilty. "Is Andrew back?" "I'll go check," Tony said, rising from his seat. As he moved, his leg accidentally knocked over the nearby chessboard with a loud crash. "Oh!" Tony exclaimed as he stepped on some chess pieces, slipping and falling forward with a loud thud. A moment later, Andrew, hearing the noise from outside, paused briefly before swiftly tucking the box he was carrying under his arm and quickly unlocking the door. He entered the room to find Tony on the floor, clutching his knee in pain, while James stood nearby, looking somewhat flustered. The chessboard lay scattered on the floor, pieces strewn everywhere, creating a mess. Andrew hesitated for a moment, taking in the scene, his expression shifting from confusion to mild annoyance. James al
Nurse: ... She had grown accustomed to this. Without waiting for the comer to speak, she went straight to the point: "The late-night snack you brought, I'll take care of it for you. Dr. Jephson went to pick up an emergency patient and will be back shortly. If you want to wait for her, you can go to her office." With that, she extended her hand towards him. Ben: ... He silently handed over the insulated food container. "Thanks." The nurse nodded. Ben turned away, preparing to head to Liora's office. Suddenly, he saw the elevator doors open, and several medical staff wheeled out a patient. Even though they were all dressed in white coats and masks, Liora stood out. Ben spotted her immediately. "Dr. Jephson..." "We'll talk later!" Liora also noticed him, briskly tossing out the words before pushing the patient quickly into the emergency room. Ben stood there, momentarily stun
Liora quickened her pace and walked in. The nurse in the room looked relieved when she saw her. "Doctor Jephson..." Liora nodded and gave her a reassuring look before walking over to the man on the hospital bed. The man looked to be above thirty, with a rugged appearance and a hint of stubble on his chin, exuding a certain roughness. His gold watch and necklace hinted at a nouveau riche background. When Dunk saw Liora approaching, his previously menacing expression instantly softened. He lay on the bed, his gaze fixed on Liora, with naked desire in his eyes. Approaching the bed, Liora glanced at the name tag on the bedside: Dunk. Apparently, he was the guy injured in a car accident yesterday afternoon. His leg was quite badly injured, and she had performed a minor surgery on him. Liora came closer. "Where does it hurt?" "Finally decided to show up, Doctor Jephson? I've been calling for ages, you never came. It's really
"Well, there's something," Diana began, "Do you have any free time tomorrow night?" "I have an interview." "Ah? How long will the interview last? Will it be over by around nine in the evening?" "I'm not sure..." As Ben pondered when the interview might end, he suddenly felt a soft hand on his chest, drawing circles. Liora leaned in close, her actions teasingly ambiguous. In the darkness, though he couldn't see her expression clearly, Ben sensed something in her gaze that stirred him. With her touch, Ben's already compromised intelligence swiftly plummeted further. "Uh, about the time..." Ben stammered, "I think it starts around... a few hours before nine?" Diana picked up on his unease. "Ben, is someone there with you? You sound flustered." "No... no, it's just..." Ben's voice trailed off as the phone was snatched from his hand. Liora leaned in, her voice low and seductive. "Hey, little Diana, it's me. I
Ben snatched the sheets from Liora's hands and threw them into the washing machine. Then he pulled out a chair beside the dining table. "You sit." His eyes were filled with eager anticipation, like an eager-to-please puppy. Liora sat down, looking at the steaming steaks and golden eggs on the plate, her appetite whetted. She took a bite. Immediately, she was met with Ben's expectant gaze. "Um... is it good?" "Delicious, everything you make is delicious," Liora spoke the truth. Ben's cooking was excellent, and on the first try, she found it quite impressive. Though Ben was a bit silly, he was sincere and caring towards her, giving her an inexplicable sense of security. He also completely matched her aesthetic standards. She admitted to herself that she really liked him. And... Last night's experience was a big plus. Who wouldn't love a cute boyfriend who was both ha
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
