In the past, even though she always followed him, he would never say such hurtful words. But when she abandoned all shame and dignity this time, his every word felt like a slap, hitting her repeatedly.If he thought of her like that, then there was no longer a need for her to pretend to be a delicate young lady. If she didn't do it, then fine. If she did it, she would do it shamelessly. So she directly threw herself at him, entwining...But before she could do anything, Fiona Forger had already left!The only thing she didn't expect was that Fiona Forger didn't have the slightest doubt and instead humiliated her to the greatest extent in her life."You... you've gone too far!" Loona Richart picked up her clothes thrown on her body and used her hand to wipe off the things sticking to her face. The slimy feeling almost drove her crazy. How could she go out and meet people like this?!Thinking about how she was seen like this, she was about to go mad from all the gossip circulating after
"Cherry Desmond, do you believe that just by saying a few words, you won't be able to borrow a single penny?" Assistant Forger was also getting irritated. It was clear that this young miss intentionally wanted to argue with her. "Moreover, in the past, you helped me hide many things from the boss. He respected me and didn't question you. Are you sure you want me to bring up the past to him?""Fiona Forger, is this a threat?" Miss Desmond stood up, her tall stature and high heels making her look down at the seemingly innocent face curled up on the sofa."Yes, it is a threat. You don't have to accept this kind of threat." Miss Forger chuckled, feeling even more satisfied with herself.She's good at this! But she couldn't ignore this threat. She may have to ask Miss Forger to say a few things.She had to eat it even if she couldn't swallow her anger! However, she couldn't scold or get angry with her beyond her words!"Fiona Forger, you truly have no conscience, always seeking benefits fo
It couldn't be denied that, in certain aspects, he still held traditional male beliefs. Many years ago, their grandfather intervened and separated the two of them, and if it hadn't been for him voluntarily giving up, this relationship might have continued.Social background and status weren't the most important factors for a man. What mattered most was whether he had the trust, courage, and determination to go after what he wanted and whether he could lead a woman to follow him without regrets for the rest of her life."Brother..." Cherry Desmond understood his intentions and earnestly defended Kellan Lutz. "When I saw you this time, he didn't know about it. Do you remember what you once said to me? That a person with strong determination cannot fail? He is also such a person. Although not many people currently value his research project, it may have a difficult start, but I believe he will shine one day.""This week, I have to go to the United States. Wait for me to return, and then
Jacky Forger's icy gaze suddenly darkened as he squinted at her. "Why are you still here so late? Can I assume that you were waiting for me?"He had paid little attention to the late hour and the person hiding in the parking lot until the car turned into the exit, and he accidentally glanced at the rearview mirror, only to find a familiar figure.He had given up on looking for her, but unexpectedly, she appeared before him on her own accord just a week after that evening.He parked the car, walked back to the parking lot, and was surprised to see the girl sitting on the ground, crying uncontrollably. He had no idea when she had started crying, but every step he took seemed to coincide with her sobs.Why would she, who had a comfortable life, come to his place to enjoy the breeze? And at such a late hour?With his provocative gaze, Angela Zylians lowered her head and noticed that a button on her shirt had come undone, exposing a portion of her fair chest. Instinctively, she used her ha
Throughout the afternoon, she couldn't focus on her work at all. She made consecutive mistakes, and Anna Desmond thought she might be unwell, so she allowed her to leave halfway through the day.But could she go home?She was still a new employee and couldn't let her matters affect her work. If not, she might be fired even before the end of her probation period.So she gritted her teeth and persevered. Anna Desmond noticed something was off with her and guessed something might have happened with her family or friends. However, she said nothing, knowing she couldn't force her to go home. She just advised her to tidy up meeting notes and avoid idle thoughts.Until the end of working hours, she diligently completed the tasks assigned by Anna Desmond. After finishing, she felt an overwhelming exhaustion throughout her body. She couldn't even take half a step and sat in the office, feeling completely drained. The person who used to be there was gone. At least here, she didn't feel suffocat
Lying in the same position for too long, she was afraid her mother would suspect something, so she deliberately moved a bit, transitioning from a tilted position to lying on her back.Suddenly, her mother's fingers gently touched the still swollen red side of her face, slid down to her slender chin, and the rough touch and faint smell of cigarettes shook her. Then she felt something cold touch her lips.Her heart trembled, and her eyes flew open, meeting a pair of deep, unpredictable eyes.She was shocked but could only widen her eyes, staring dumbfounded at the person who had just pressed their lips against hers.It wasn't her mother. The person who had been by her side all this time was Jacky Forger...The man's lips quickly withdrew, his cold expression unchanged, but his eyes held a trace of anger and unease from being caught in the act. Especially when she opened her eyes in surprise and looked at him...He stood up abruptly, his voice low and stern. "Stop using those eyes to sed
He said that and pressed her back to sit down, pulling the seatbelt over her and fastening it. His gesture and posture made people outside look highly ambiguous.The seatbelt was fastened, but Norman Desmond intentionally maintained that motionless posture, which annoyed Fiona Forger."Norman Desmond, if you continue like this, I'll tell the eldest brother about it."Norman Desmond was genuinely afraid of this, so he finally sat back correctly in his seat, still staring ahead attentively.As he glanced over, he saw Miss Forger unlocking the car with a key and getting in. The white vehicle disappeared entirely from his sight before Norman Desmond started the engine and drove again without saying a word throughout the journey.This made Miss Forger genuinely uncomfortable, so she took the initiative to speak up."Hey, why were you staring at my sister like that earlier?"Norman Desmond remained silent, his face gloomy."Do you have a grudge against each other?"Miss Forger asked again.
"Can I have a bite of this?"Just now, the breakfast at Uitwaaien was delicious, but she couldn't eat much. Seeing him bring her favorite cake, she suddenly felt an intense craving.The man's mood had returned to normal; he smiled and opened the cake box, scooping a small piece and feeding it to her."Mmm!" She hummed as she savored it, her face filled with satisfaction.He fed her another bite, his eyes filled with tenderness."Don't you want to eat?" Fiona Forger looked at him with wide, transparent eyes, her cute little mouth pouting. "Or... do you not like sweets?"Having lived with him for so long, she had never seen him eat sweets or anything similar. Every time they ate out, his dessert always ended up in the stomachs of her and her mother."I don't snack." He scooped another spoonful for her, enjoying her expression of satisfaction. The annoyance he felt at Uitwaaien earlier had disappeared.Whenever he fed her something, he thoroughly enjoyed her eating expression, which was
"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
