"Is she just your mother's cousin?" Damian Desmond remained calm, glancing at his son. "Puddy, go to the other room and play video games.""What are you both talking about that I can't hear?" The boy didn't understand why they wanted him to leave. They must be discussing something he had no interest in. Besides, their secretive looks were annoying.So, the boy decisively jumped off the sofa, knowing it was best to avoid whatever they were discussing.Seeing his son leaving, Damian Desmond waited a bit before speaking to Fiona. Miss Forger stared at him with curious eyes, but he didn't immediately satisfy her curiosity. Instead, he brought a soup bowl and started feeding their little nephew.The chicken soup smelled delicious, and Miss Forger hadn't sensed any meat for the past two days, let alone tasted any. She quickly finished the soup and was about to wipe her mouth when she eagerly asked, "Can you tell me now?""Naccy Bonet and Wilma Bonet, can't you guess their relationship?" he
Some mistakes can only be made once; even a lifetime may not be enough to make up for them. She didn't expect forgiveness from others for her past mistakes, but in her heart, there was still a glimmer of hope that she could apologize to her cousin.Well, wait, then. Wait for Olivia's recovery, and then she would find the opportunity to visit. Naccy Bonet could only console herself in this way.When Fiona Forger stepped out of the hospital room, she coincidentally met Aboli Brian, who was also skillfully waiting for the elevator.Inside the cramped space of the elevator, each stood in a corner, silent, not speaking to each other.Only when the elevator door opened, Fiona Forger stepped out first while Aboli Brian casually followed from behind.Even without turning back, Fiona Forger knew someone was following her because she could hear the sound of her high heels tapping on the hospital floor."Do you have something to say?" Before stepping down the stairs, Fiona Forger turned to look
The words had been lingering in his mind countless times, and finally, he managed to utter them: "Can we... take some time apart?"The sentence drained all his strength and courage to speak up. Once spoken, the atmosphere between the two turned terrifyingly silent. The air became suffocating, making it almost impossible to breathe."Kellan Lutz, do you have the guts to repeat it?" Cherry Desmond finally heard her voice, surprised by her composure. She could forgive him once more if he admitted that he was wrong, but if he dared to repeat it..."Cherry..."He couldn't repeat it. Saying it once already exhausted all his strength and courage."What's wrong with you? Are you sick? Fever? Headache? Kellan Lutz, talk to me!" She was angry, anxious, and scared, hitting his chest with her fists, trying to break free from his embrace, but she couldn't."I'm truly sorry..." Besides these three words, he didn't know what else to say."You don't need to apologize, Kellan... " Cherry Desmond was a
Between them, they had always only interacted on work matters, but now he understood that his nature was not to let personal issues affect his work. He didn't know that the only person Boss took personal matters into account was Miss Forger.As he exited the CEO's office, he ran into Anna Desmond. Not knowing what happened, Anna enthusiastically greeted him, "Professor Lutz, you're here early. Is there something you want to discuss with the Boss?"Kellan Lutz nodded."Why the long face? Did you have a wild night with Cherry?" The chief secretary's face looked serious, but her words were anything but severe. "Be careful not to let that girl drain you dry. Goodbye."Her unintentional words made Kellan Lutz's expression turn somber. As she said, it would have been better if only last night were. But he was afraid that Cherry would come to hate him to death.Silently entering the elevator and returning to his office on the 19th floor, which was the Information Technology department, he fo
"Puddy Forger, no swearing!" Miss Forger looked horrified as she heard the little boy speak.Sigh, it was all because of her. Once, when they were still in that apartment, she was so engrossed in reading manga that she let the little boy play with the telescope for a long time. Later, he asked what the telescope was for, and reflexively, she replied, "To watch handsome guys swimming."With Puddy's intelligence, just a little thought and association, he could guess what "watching handsome guys swimming" meant from what his mother said. Since then, he occasionally brought up that story to tease and threaten her.Every parting is sad, but thanks to this two mother and son, the atmosphere becomes a little lighter, even though Cherry Desmond doesn't quite understand why the little boy mentioned the telescope. Miss Forger's confused expression is not a good sign."My darling, remember to bring a little Xu as a gift the next time you visit so that you won't feel lonely anymore." Cherry Desmo
Oh, such a huge mistake! Now she had to immediately check whether she was in a safe period that day. She was usually very clever and insightful; how could she be so careless sometimes?The idea of getting pregnant before marriage was unacceptable to her. If her parents didn't kick her out of the house, her grandfather would break her legs, and who knew what else he would do......maybe even force her to give up a life she couldn't imagine. Just thinking about it was terrifying.Feeling uneasy and slightly panicked, she told her boss, "The documents are on the table," before quickly rushing back to her office. She must thoroughly check it out.Unaware of the secretary's slightly flustered and panicked state, the two father and son continued their discussion."The main issue is with your buying timing. Your choices are not accurate. The stock market has its cycles; you should buy low and sell high and seize the opportunity for the highest profit. Your strategy is not wrong, but due to l
Hearing him say that, Mrs. Sandra Desmond finally felt at ease.As the dinner progressed, the atmosphere became more cheerful just as they were almost done with the meal, two unexpected guests entered, surprising everyone.It was Mr. Peter Desmond and Alice!Meeting under such circumstances made it a bit awkward, especially for Alice. Damian Desmond nodded at his father in greeting and then returned to Ben to continue their interrupted conversation. Mrs. Sandra Desmond politely greeted them with a nod.Mr. Peter Desmond squinted as he looked at them, and the more he looked, the more it felt like a family gathering dinner. But who was that foreign man? Why had he never met him before?Well, joking aside, if he was related to his family, he was also associated with him somehow. What did it have to do with the blue-eyed blonde man?"Peter, let's go over there," Alice said, grabbing his arm when she noticed him gazing at them.It had been long since they had gone out for a meal together,
This restaurant is where upper-class people like to gather, making it hard to avoid meeting acquaintances.She and her son had a dinner reservation here tonight, but their table was on the upper floor. While eating, she received a message from a friend asking her to come downstairs to watch an entertaining show. However, when she arrived downstairs, the leading actor had already left.Feeling a bit disappointed for receiving the message late and missing the excellent performance, little did she know that there was still another interesting show behind her. It was the scene of Mr. Desmond, the playboy, leaving his beautiful wife alone and going alone. They had just been married briefly; how could he get bored so soon?But thinking back, she still felt sorry for the young girl standing before her. Using beauty to captivate someone, using beauty to win favor, how could that last? Especially with a man who always had butterflies buzzing around like Mr. Peter Desmond. He never lacked beaut
