A bunch of troubles in the house had been neatly resolved, even though it lacked money, which was Jacky Forger's shortage, no one came to pressure her to pay, and she could take her time to do it. Logically speaking, she should feel relieved, but that wasn't the case. She didn't feel relieved at all! How could she feel relaxed? On the surface, it seemed like it had ended between her and him, but in reality, because she repaid the debt, their relationship was still entangled like an invisible thread that couldn't be unraveled.In this life, there was only the fear of being unable to erase it. Lost in thought, the meeting room door suddenly opened, and she raised her head, facing a pair of cold and familiar eyes...In that instant, she felt numb, unable to move. Jacky Forger didn't expect a small assistant like her to appear in such an important meeting. As he touched her clear eyes, in just a blink, he took the initiative to move away, not lingering on his much thinner face for more tha
Now, what time is it that you're still teasing her? This kid obviously can't handle it. Thinking of this, Miss Forger couldn't help but wonder if eating outside for breakfast caused the problem."Do you have diarrhea?"Puddy, feeling uncomfortable, impatiently tossed the phone in his hand and shook his head, "Mom, I'm tired. I want to sleep for a while."Fiona Forger gently laid him down, holding his tiny hand tightly, "I know you're feeling uncomfortable, but the doctor needs to take a blood test to determine what's wrong. Can we do that?""Yes, just a quick blood test, and it won't hurt, okay?" Grandpa Desmond chimed in.Puddy continued shaking his head, "No blood test.""What's the problem that requires a blood test?" Fiona Forger looked up at the doctors standing next to the bed. A slight fever medicine should do the trick if it's just a common cold.One of the doctors, around 50 years old, answered, "We have examined him, and there's nothing wrong with his heart and lungs, but th
Waiting for Norman Desmond to return, he saw the mother and child hugging and crying, which startled him. After understanding the situation, he felt mixed emotions, wanting to cry and laugh. Listening to the little girl narrates her past stories, Damian Desmond felt even more regretful and guilty because he couldn't be by her side when she needed him the most.So when he received her call today and heard her crying, his heart burned like fire. "Darling, I won't be like this in the future. No matter what happens, I'll always be here with you and our child." He lifted her hand and kissed it gently."Thank you," she leaned her face against his palm, closed her eyes, and quietly cherished the presence and protection of this man."Foolish!" Why thank him? She and their child were one of the most essential things in his life; taking care of them was his responsibility and duty. "Annoying, really, always complaining about yourself," Fiona Forger said with her eyes still closed, acting spoile
For several days, Fiona Forger and Damian Desmond took turns keeping a close eye on their son, never leaving his side in the hospital. Thanks to timely treatment, the little boy's fever subsided after two days, and three days later, the red rashes disappeared. Moreover, he didn't have to peel off an unsightly layer of skin, which made the little boy happy for a long time.The most joyful news was the prospect of getting discharged and going home after the blood test tomorrow.Being confined and treated in the hospital for several days made the active little boy almost go crazy with boredom. That evening, as usual, Damian Desmond went to the room to read him a story. He had become quite skilled at it and believed that if they had another child in the future, this bedtime storytelling activity wouldn't be too much trouble for him.After the little boy closed his eyes and fell asleep, Damian Desmond paused and carefully tucked him in. As he was about to go to the adjacent room to find Mi
Some sweet words may not be spoken, but practical actions, such as birthday gifts, can speak volumes."For my birthday? He gave me two unlimited credit cards, a yacht, and as an engagement gift, a villa with a garden, and some stocks." Miss Forger didn't mean to show off, but when the two massage therapists heard it, they were taken aback. One birthday gift alone was already so generous; she lived in a different world, completely changing their perspective."Fiona Forger!" Cherry Desmond also exclaimed, "I'm asking you, what do you estimate your net worth to be now?"Indeed, her big brother was incredibly generous, and she couldn't help but feel a bit envious. She also wanted unlimited credit cards and a yacht! Sigh.Of course, apart from her big brother, other family members' gifts were quite lavish, too, like jewelry and branded handbags. Who knows how much it would be if she converted those gifts into cash? And they had just gotten engaged; she couldn't even imagine what it would b
"We can't let them look down on us, can we?" Miss Grayson beamed a brighter smile than the chandeliers above the store. "Cherry, it's a pleasure to meet you." After greeting Cherry Desmond, Miss Grayson turned to Fiona Forger. "Mrs. Desmond, thank you for your previous support to our store. Purchasing twelve rings at once, we are truly grateful." These are the high-class VIP customers, deserving of warm hospitality and receiving generous bonuses and commissions.Hearing this, Mrs. Goreng found it hard to believe. She grabbed Fiona Forger's arm and said, "You were just engaged, and he bought you twelve rings? Why is Mr. Desmond favoring you like this? Our family's daughter is the future of that household; you are just a daughter-in-law...""What are you doing?" Fiona Forger pulled her arm away, not wanting to get involved with these people. But Miss Grayson's words dragged her into the conversation. Mrs. Goreng gripped her arm tightly, her mouth incessantly running with harsh words. Th
Whenever she curiously touched something, he secretly vowed to use it on her later, making her call him "husband" convincingly."Tomorrow is a happy day, don't let it slip away," Leon Alexander kindly reminded. He didn't worry about the other side of his cousin, but he was afraid of what might happen to his petite sister-in-law. If they continued, she might not be able to wake up the next day."Is it safe here?" She didn't want to talk much with Leon Alexander, but this issue was something she couldn't ignore. She didn't want any compromising images to be leaked to the media.Leon Alexander's good friends opened this hotel, and while it was safe, to ensure 100% safety, Leon Alexander detailed the places where hidden cameras could be installed in rooms like this. After thoroughly checking everything and confirming no oversights, Damian Desmond turned off his phone.Meanwhile, Fiona Forger had already rolled around excitedly on the large round bed, hugging a banana-shaped pillow and tos
The mother's hurtful words were like adding fuel to the fire for Alice, making her unable to sit still any longer. She quickly stood up, her fingers trembling as she pointed towards her mother, who was still incessantly talking, "Mom, have you said enough? You keep making a fuss like this; even if Mr. Peter Desmond is not interested in me, I will still be kicked out of the Desmond family."She recalled that night when he returned home, and she suggested having a child, he immediately stormed through the guest bedroom, warning her not to talk nonsense outside; apart from resentment, she was left feeling utterly silenced, wholly silenced.She thought that becoming Mrs. Desmond was a victory, but it was just a joke.Seeing her daughter's agitation, Mrs. Goreng was also startled, staring at her for a long time without regaining her composure."Mom, haven't you been bragging about your connection to the Desmond family lately? Do you know Mr. Peter Desmond deliberately sought me out to warn
