"What are you doing?"
Wesley jumped, his hand recoiling as if shocked. He turned to see Colin standing at the doorway, his tall figure elegant and his face cold.
"I-I... just checking on her... um..."
Wesley stuttered, feeling awkward. But then he regained his composure. Why should he feel guilty? He wasn't doing anything wrong, just adjusting her hair!
Why did this situation make him feel like some kind of sleazy pervert?
Colin gave him a deep glance, then walked in, removing Leah's jacket and handing it to Wesley.
Wesley took the jacket, feeling uneasy.
"Leah?"
Colin leaned down, softly calling her name. When she didn't stir, Colin took off his own jacket and placed it over her. Then he gently lifted her from the chair, carrying her princess-style in his arms.
As he walked past Wesley towards the door, Wesley's voice stopped him.
"Hold on."
Colin paused slightly, then turned around slowly.
Initially, Colin felt a bit drowsy, but as she lay beside him, her unique scent wafted over intermittently, lingering around his nostrils, dispelling his drowsiness like a feather gently tickling his heart. Colin shifted slightly, turning on his side to face Leah. Though the room was dark with the lamp off, the moonlight seeped through the curtains, casting a faint halo inside. Leah was lying on her side with her back to him, breathing evenly as if asleep. With the faint light, Colin could see her loose white shirt hanging off her shoulders, revealing a glimpse of smooth skin. As if compelled by some unseen force, Colin leaned closer to her neck, drawn in by her scent, which seemed even more intoxicating up close. His breath grew heavier as he felt it caress her skin. Suddenly, he felt Leah move slightly. Was she not asleep? Colin's gaze lowered, noticing Leah's legs intertwined, trembling slightly with his breath. Neither of them moved from t
Colin's expression started to become awkward, but before he could reply, Leah suddenly interjected, "Hmm...no, wait. The books say men's first times are usually quick. But... why were you so enduring?" Colin: "What books are you reading that talk about this?" Leah:... "Answer my question first..." "The books aren't always accurate." Colin glanced at her, then suddenly remarked, "The books also say that at first, women are usually more passive in bed." Leah: "Ha! Are you implying I was too... proactive yesterday?!" Colin: "..." Leah: "Okay, maybe I was." ... After Leah and Colin finished their meal, they packed up and decided to go check on Diana. They hadn't had time to see her since they'd been on set for so long. Leah, curious about Diana's current state, bought some things and held Colin's hand as they got into the car and headed straight for John's place. After they got out of the car
Charlotte responded, "Hmm, I'll do my best." "Of course, this opportunity to go abroad is rare. Don't just think about work pressure, it's a good chance to relax with Albert," Mr. Sanders added. At his words, Charlotte's expression shifted slightly. "Albert is going too?" "He happens to have some work matters over there, a kind of business trip. Besides, with such a great opportunity, you two going together can also nurture your relationship," Mr. Sanders explained. Charlotte nodded. "Alright, I'll go with Albert." "That's good to hear," Mr. Sanders said cheerfully before ending the call. As the line went dead, Charlotte gently set down her phone, her fingers tightly clenched, sharp nails digging into her palm. Not long ago, she was the daughter of the Patel family, the foremost socialite in Cloud City, with a constant stream of suitors trailing behind her. But now, she had to lower her dignity for a man she didn't even
"Apprentice?" Joe looked at Diana and chuckled. "You, young lady, I was just thinking about whether to take you on as my apprentice, but Mr. Lin beat me to it." Mr. Lin, with his venerable demeanor, chuckled. "I never expected to receive such an excellent apprentice at my age. It's my honor." The two stood there, exchanging polite conversation. When Tom came over to help Joe with the luggage, she nodded briefly at Mr. Lin before heading off with them. As soon as Joe turned away, Diana felt a tug on her arm. Mr. Lin approached, his face unable to contain his excitement. "Diana, you seem quite familiar with Joe?" "Yeah, we're acquainted. What's up?" "Nothing..." Mr. Lin squinted, gazing at Joe ahead, and sighed, "I've always heard that Joe ages gracefully, over fifty but still youthful. It's truly remarkable!" Mr. Lin's tone was filled with admiration. "Those legs, that figure, and even in
Finally, Jacob remembered something and looked at John, saying slowly, "This time's auction... we found out that members of the Nelson family are participating." "Yosef?" "Not exactly." Jacob pushed his glasses up, "Although the Nelson family is involved in many black market industries, in recent years, Yosef has slowly been withdrawing from these areas. This auction seems to be the work of other members of the Nelson family." With that, Jacob took out a document from his hand. "And recently, investigations show that the Nelson family hasn't been very obedient lately. Some branches have started to expand their own black market industries, engaging in trades that Yosef had previously forbidden." Jacob paused for a moment before continuing. "I suspect Yosef's health may not be too good." John held the cigarette in his hand and said slowly. "Where is Yosef now?" "He's also in France, he arrived a day before us."
Patrick: "Doctor Zhang, could you have misdiagnosed? How is it possible... Mr. Nelson has been coughing more lately, but it couldn't possibly..." "Patrick." Yosef's voice interrupted him. "Leave." Patrick lowered his head, clenched his fists, and left. Doctor Zhang's expression grew more solemn. "Your organ failure is accelerating. I suggest you drop your work and focus on resting." Yosef leaned back in the chair, a wry smile playing on his handsome, albeit cynical, face. "It seems the rumors aren't just rumors." "What rumors?" "Nothing," Yosef waved his hand dismissively. "It's late, you should go home." Doctor Zhang nodded and left with the medical kit. Alone in the spacious room, Yosef placed a hand over his slightly tight chest, his eyes flashing with a mixture of emotions. A year... shorter than he had imagined. Lost in thought, he suddenly noticed a small head peeking in from the do
"One dead, one incapacitated," Godber replied calmly. "But, Mr. Nelson, rumors of your demise have spread far and wide. The Nelsons already had shaky reputations, and your past methods were deemed excessively brutal. If anything were to happen to you, it would likely cause quite a stir." "Well, that's why I need you to be more brutal this time." Yosef extinguished his cigarette in the nearby ashtray. "Tit for tat is the best warning for these jackals and vultures." "Mr. Nelson, we've investigated those inciting rumors, but found no leads. The masterminds behind them are well-hidden." Yosef reclined on the sofa, his eyes flashing subtly. "It's probably related to Carl." Godber's eyes widened in surprise. "You knew?" "A hunch." Yosef's expression remained placid. As the head of the Nelson family, he relied not solely on evidence, but also on keen intuition. Godber narrowed his eyes. "So, what do you suggest?" Yose
Even without makeup, Diana's natural beauty was breathtaking, drawing admiring looks from the crowd, imbued with an ethereal charm. She walked briskly, enjoying the architecture lining the streets, feeling quite content. Turning her head, she noticed Mitbahl beside her. Diana's smile faded momentarily. "Why are you dressed like that, Mitbahl?" Mitbahl glanced down at his black lace gown, a hint of shyness in his expression. "Madam, you recognized it? Mr. Lin gave me this outfit." Diana sighed and revealed the truth, "Actually... it's women's clothing." "I know," Mitbahl replied nonchalantly, "I figured it out as soon as I got it back. Madam, I'm not that clueless; can't I distinguish between men's and women's clothes?" Surprised, Diana asked, "Then why are you wearing it?" "I didn't expect it either, but when I put it on, I found it quite flattering, so I decided to keep it on. Who knows, pretending to be a girl
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
