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
"Come on, let's make a wish!" After finishing the music, Mr. Desmond walked by and tightly wrapped his arms around her waist.This was their first birthday, and she wanted to create memorable moments.In front of a mirror, the girl folded her hands before her chest, closed her eyes, and prayed with a focused and hopeful expression. The man behind her gazed at her with gentle eyes as if melting."What are you praying for?" After blowing out the candles, the man lightly bit her ear and asked."It loses its meaning if I say it out loud." The girl happily replied, pushing him away. "How about we go on a boat, eat cake, and stargaze together?"Last time, they stargazed on the rooftop, but it wasn't enough. Finally, they could go to the beach and enjoy the beautiful night sky. The weather was perfect, and they could see so many stars.On the boat, the sparkling night sky was within reach, with stars shining like diamonds, captivatingly beautiful.Fiona Forger lay on the sofa, mesmerized by
Within a short while, the large bed in the VIP room was surrounded by people. The first doctor to arrive for the examination was a male doctor, but Mrs. Desmond was not wearing any clothes. After Mr. Desmond used his hand to cover Mrs. Desmond's exposed arm and tucked it under the blanket, all the male doctors instinctively retreated, leaving only a female dermatologist to conduct a full-body examination.The doctor was over forty years old, and upon seeing the fair skin of Mrs. Desmond covered not only with allergic red spots but also with other marks that indicated a man caused them, she deduced the gist of the situation.With so many red rashes on her body and the accompanying fever, it was undoubtedly due to some outdoor activity that accidentally came into contact with something inappropriate. Even if it wasn't due to "outdoor activity," it was definitely because of using specific props during intense play, which contained chemical ingredients causing an allergic reaction.If it
