Angela Zylians was stunned, clearly surprised by the man's request. She didn't turn around and replied, "Alright, may I ask what kind of tea the CEO would like?""Anything is fine." Jacky Forger threw those words at her and didn't say anything else. She could only leave to make the tea.When Anna Desmond returned from the CEO's office and heard that Jacky Forger wanted tea, she was so surprised that her eyes almost popped.What's gotten into him today?Usually, he only drank pure coffee, so when did this CEO change his preference?Her secretary should know better. Over the years, she had memorized the habits and tastes of essential guests who frequently visited the company. CEO Forger and her boss had similar preferences, always sticking to pure coffee.Who would have thought he suddenly changed his taste? That's strange! Last week, they were still drinking coffee during the meeting!"Angela Zylians, do you know how to make tea? Just make a pot of whatever he wants." Remembering her t
Even though she used a clean pair of chopsticks to pick food for her son, he still complained. Can she be blamed for that? "But didn't you say that I took the food from you every time?" Miss Forger couldn't help but retort. "Who said I took it from you?" Miss Forger couldn't stand it anymore and didn't bother to respond. "It's because you don't feel ashamed to take it from me," he replied. "Is this table not enough for the two of us?" Damian Desmond looked at the mother and son and was at a loss for words. If someone heard their conversation, they might think he couldn't support his wife and child."Boss, you should manage your wife. She's still so competitive with a child."Puddy Forger skillfully peeled a shrimp and put it in his mouth. "Puddy Forger, how dare you call me old? Hmph, it's better to give birth to an egg than a child." At least an egg wouldn't annoy her."Too bad the egg can't call me a mother.""It would if it hatched into a chick.""Stop talking and eat." The man ord
"There is someone, you know! Joe Otis said that he will come to London next semester to study with Selena." The kids grew up together, went to school together, and now you're alone in Singapore. It's normal to miss your friend."This matter will be discussed between your father and me." Damian Desmond nodded solemnly.Even if he and Fiona Forger agreed, the older man would not agree to let his young nephew become a student studying abroad. Even he, at 15, only went abroad to study.By now, the car had entered the Desmond family's compound. The story ended, but Fiona was still fast asleep. Even when Damian Desmond carried her out of the car and went into the house, there were no signs of her waking up.Inside the small villa, a few warm wall lights were still on. Puddy Forger carried Xu and ran upstairs, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at someone taking his mother, preparing to go upstairs..."Why?" Surprised by his son's sudden pause, Damian Desmond asked."Boss, will you alw
Damian Desmond took out a set of documents, and the pages were all auspicious dates selected by Master Lewis, with the reasons for choosing those dates written. He didn't pay much attention to this matter, but the older man insisted on doing it, and he had no way to refuse. Older adults often like to follow traditional customs like this.Fiona Forger leaned over to see which date Damian Desmond had given to Taylor Forger because the wedding date naturally had to be shown to the parents in advance. The other elders in the Forger-Desmond family had no objections to the marriage between the two families. Mrs. Olivia Forger was waiting for Taylor Forger to speak up.Returning the documents to Damian Desmond, Taylor Forger finally spoke, "Mr. Desmond, you're rushing too much. I only promised the patriarch to have the engagement between the two of us first. Both sides need some time to adjust to each other, and we didn't say we would get married."Damian Desmond just smiled at him. "Nowaday
Her mother is incapable of harming Xu, nor does she have the time for it. There's no doubt that Wilma Bonet is the culprit! How can she be so malicious? Even a harmless little dog can be targeted by her. And why are Dad and Mom treating her so well? Is there something even more outrageous in this world? She can't bear it anymore!"I have to go and ask her what she wants," Fiona Forger stormed outside, but Damian Desmond stopped her. "Let me handle this."Looking at Fiona's emotional state, it seemed as if she was ready to fight someone.The girl seemed secretive, but eventually, she couldn't hold it back. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done something so obvious that anyone could guess. However, if Fiona confronted her, she wouldn't get any answers."You must seek revenge for Xu!" Miss Forger was extremely upset."That's right, this debt won't go unpaid," Puddy angrily said. "Poor Xu!"o0oStill, Xu was observed at the veterinary clinic under the sedative's effects. Later, they would hav
"How is she doing at the company?" This girl is brilliant and knows how to handle herself well, so her work should be fine. However, intelligent girls often have complex thoughts that are not simple."Do you want me to change Wilma Bonet?" Taylor Forger lowered his head, pondered momentarily, and said, "There might be some misunderstanding. We can limit her visits to our house. After all, she doesn't do anything wrong in her work.""You can decide for yourself." Mrs. Olivia Forger had never intervened in the internal affairs of the company. Even if Wilma Bonet were at fault, she wouldn't directly ask Taylor to exclude her."Fiona will be engaged next month, so we should prepare a bit." Mrs. Olivia Forger suggested, trying to shift the focus away from unpleasant matters. "Why don't we personally choose gifts for Fiona and the future grandchild? We can go together."Indeed, Taylor Forger considered himself to have three children, but now only one was left by his side, and she was about
Fiona Forger opened the door and immediately recognized the exquisite jadeite bracelet in translucent blue. "Thank you, Aunt." This could be considered her intention, and she didn't refuse."Still calling me Aunt?" Mrs. Sandra Desmond smiled."Mom, if the gift is received, let's consider her part of the family." Even though he was busy fighting with his breakfast, the little boy still managed to intervene, trying to please his grandmother a little. "So, you should call her Mom.""Mom..." Fiona Forger called softly, her face slightly blushing."When we get married, Mom will have someone make other jewelry. Just let me know what style you like." Mrs. Sandra Desmond smiled, taking a sip of her coffee."Grandma, do I have a gift too?" The little boy couldn't bear to ask."Yes, what do you want?"At this moment, Mrs. Sandra Desmond wished she could show the little boy everything he liked right before him.Initially, she thought that after giving the gift, they would leave. However, because
Even more embarrassed, Miss Forger had to show up despite feeling ashamed. She had initially come to the study to find him because of this. In reality, her thoughts were similar to Damian Desmond's. If she agreed to let the little boy come to London to study, there was no need to bring him from Melbourne along with her.No matter her son's intelligence, he was still just a six-year-old child. As a mother, she wouldn't let him go far away from her, even if there were adults to care for him.Unless she went there herself, but that was impossible now.Therefore, Damian Desmond refused, and she nodded in agreement, but looking at her son's sad expression, she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted."Or maybe before school starts, the child could go to London to play with those kids?" She carefully observed her son's face and made the suggestion.Damian Desmond readily agreed to this proposal. "There's still half a month before the school starts. If he wants to go, let him go."Seein
"What?" She opened her eyes and turned around, her clear gaze meeting his deep one."I'm sorry. And... thank you.""I love you."Between them, there was no need for words like "sorry" and "thank you.""I love you too." His words had barely finished when his warm lips sealed hers, and in his heart, he silently vowed to love her even more, erasing any lingering hurt and scars she had endured.o0oOn their wedding night, though late, it finally arrived.This was destined to be a gentle and dreamy night, a night he had been waiting for so long.He was careful and tender to the extreme when treating this girl he loved and cherished.And she, her restless heart, couldn't hide her anticipation.The water in the bathtub rippled incessantly due to their late-night intimate combination.In the warm bedroom, the curtain lightly swayed in the night breeze."Still hurting?"He held her and pityingly kissed her sweat-drenched long hair.Ember Canen shook her head, her small, blushing face brimming
"Yes." Brad reached into his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, and handed it to him."You can go back now. Please help me lock up on your way." Holding the pack of cigarettes, he pulled one out and lit it."Alright." Brad knew that, at this moment, his boss didn't want to be disturbed by anyone. The mess in the office could only be cleaned up by the cleaning staff tomorrow.He silently left, casually closing the office door behind him.Chris Desmond picked up his mobile phone, now turned off due to the earlier throw. With a cigarette in his mouth, he walked to the window and looked down at the mesmerizing night scene below. However, he had no mood to appreciate it.When the call connected, he exhaled a puff of smoke and decisively said, "Immediately arrange for someone to go to Malaysia. I want to know her exact location within two hours."They couldn't hide her away like this, preventing him from meeting her. If there were any issues or requests, they should tell him. He would d
The whole family came to the house only to leave empty-handed. In the end, everyone went their own way.Originally, Damian Desmond intended to take both mother and child home before heading to the company. However, both insisted that he go to the company, so he could only lead them along.Upon reaching the office on the top floor, Mr. Desmond went to work while Mrs. Desmond comfortably lay on the sofa reading a comic. Oh, not the 18+ type, but a parenting comic.Young Mr. Forger was sitting at the desk chatting with his father for a while, but he got bored and ran to the IT room on the 19th floor to play.The people in the IT room saw the young prince arrive and hurriedly welcomed him, offering various drinks and breakfast with care.After playing for more than two hours, young Mr. Forger finally got up lazily when the upper floor called to remind him to come to eat."Young prince, if the CEO finds out you're playing like this, we..."There would be no place to hide!But would they da
But family members, at least, should be notified, right?Speaking of family, she had yet to tell her mother. She should find an opportunity to talk to her.She reclined back onto the bed, tossing and turning for a while without being able to sleep.So, she picked up her phone again and went online. When Jacky Forger returned to the room and saw her still messing with her phone, he snatched it away and placed it on the bedside table."Go to sleep." "And you? Are you still busy?"It was almost midnight."Tomorrow, I have to go to Lyon for a trip. Do you want to come with me?"Liliana usually handled the matters over there, so now she suddenly mentioned her unsuitable physical condition as an excuse. He would still have to go there to take over the work, conveniently monitoring the ongoing projects' progress."Do you want to take me out?""If you say you want to, then sure."They were a married couple, yet he didn't have much free time for her. Their wedding had been delayed, and they di
She discreetly glanced at him and saw that he was still motionless, with an unpleasant and frightening expression on his face.If this had been in the past, seeing him like this would have made her legs tremble and unsteady. Even though they had been living together for a while, looking at him still sent shivers down her spine.Carefully approaching, she bent her back to lift the tea tray, but she heard him speak..."Come here!"These were just two simple words, yet they held a power that made others hesitate.She let out a sigh and obediently walked over. Before she even reached his side, he stood up and pulled her towards him. He used force to press her onto the sofa, and before she could react, his entire body was pressing down on her."Jacky..." Angela Zylian let out a cry. Her chin was held and turned towards him; his lips, carrying the faint scent of cigarettes, were pressed tightly against hers.She knew he was angry. From his actions, she could sense the invisible anger he was
As soon as Mrs. Robinson asked this question, Angela Zylian froze. She thought they knew the situation, but being asked like this caught her off guard. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond. Ultimately, under Mrs. Robinson's scrutinizing gaze, she decided to tell the truth. "Previously, we had a... romantic relationship...""And now?" Mrs. Robinson had already guessed the answer to this question. There was nothing new here. What she wanted to know was the current status.After all, they hadn't been living together before.A couple of times, Mrs. Robinson and Liliana had been to her brother's apartment, but they had never seen any trace of a girl."Now she's my wife. Any objections?" A familiar voice replaced Angela Zylian's answer.Jacky Forger had returned home at some point. Holding a document folder and a freshly removed vest, he stood at the living room entrance. His casual gaze swept over his mother and sister. "Why didn't you let me know before coming?"When his mother ha
One of the reasons Angela Zylian came to France was because Jacky needed an assistant. However, she could look for another job if he didn't need her."Don't you like this kind of life?" He set his coffee cup down, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then leisurely asked."Not necessarily."Being at home every day, taking care of household chores, and cooking for him made her happy, but there wasn't much to do with just the two of them at home.Most of her time was spent reading books or daydreaming, which was becoming monotonous."Let's talk about work later." He stood up and proposed a different idea to her. "If you're bored, consider furthering your studies."At any rate, going to school was better than going out to find a job where she might attract unwanted attention from other men. While there were undoubtedly men at school, the situation was much simpler overall.After CEO Forger approved her plan to continue her education, Angela Zylian eagerly focused on her career.Going back
In the RoomTiffany sat on the bed, swinging her legs back and forth as she looked at her mother, then glanced at her "sister," her small mouth sealed..."Brother-in-law said he's the father, so... who is the real father, after all?""Tiffany, come here." Mrs. Canen waved her hand, and Tiffany obediently hopped off the bed and ran to her.Taking a deep breath to regulate her emotions, Mrs. Canen looked at the little girl and asked..."Tiffany, if you had another father like your brother-in-law, would you like that?"Following her thoughts, the little girl nodded."Then let's start telling the old stories..."o0oThe heavy rain in Singapore had finally stopped, but November in Paris brought continuous drizzles.Though she wasn't going to work, Angela Zylian woke up early daily to prepare breakfast for him.Their married life had officially begun, and everything else felt new apart from becoming more familiar with each other's bodies.During this period, they were trying to adapt to eac
She admitted it with her mouth, causing a sharp, intense pain to surge through his chest, a pain so fierce that it numbed his heart and soul.No wonder every time she was stimulated to the point of regaining her memory, she looked at him with so much fear, tears streaming down her face...So, this was the truth.So, that wretched, damn person was him. Like a madman, he pounded his hands on the steering wheel several times, finally burying his face in it.Why did this foolish woman forgive him? Why couldn't she open her mouth and say something to him?Why was she so foolish?"Chris, I..."She reached out to him, but the man who had buried his face in the steering wheel suddenly lifted his head, looking at her with eyes blurred by her tears, staring at that familiar face...Why?Why was it him?He got out of the car and circled to help her open the car door, wordlessly pulling her out."Wait outside for a while."Saying that, without waiting for her reaction, he got back in the car, sta
