"But I also want a grand wedding.""Yes." But he wanted their relationship to be legally recognized."People also want a romantic proposal." The last time was just a threat and couldn't be counted as genuine."How romantic do you want it to be?"For her happiness, he would agree to anything."You think about it yourself.""You can tell me; I will make it happen.""You have to come up with it yourself."The two discussed the topic of marriage until Miss Forger was too tired and fell asleep, leaving Mr. Desmond alone, thinking about how to plan a romantic proposal for his wife and unable to sleep.After pondering for a while, he lowered the head of Fiona Forger, who was sleeping soundly, onto the pillow, quietly got off the bed, and knocked on their son's room door.The little boy was still awake and quickly came to open the door."Dad?""What is the communication group code in the Desmond family? Tell me."After Leon Alexander disbanded the previous group, he believed they must have fo
A sense of regret, like never before, rushed in; initially, he shouldn't have given her a chance just because of a few words from his wife.He knew well what kind of person she was, but he didn't expect her to be even worse than he had thought! She was simply a heaven-and-earth difference compared to the previous Alice.Luckily, he still had one last move."I won't embarrass you anymore, Peter. I beg you..." After being thrown out, Alice struggled to get up, and this time, Mr. Peter Desmond signaled the lawyer to pass by.The lawyer had been calm all this time, taking out some documents from the briefcase and handing them to Mr. Peter Desmond, who threw them straight at the girl kneeling by his feet..."These are the property documents for this apartment, transferred to your name, and there is also a 5-million-dollar check in a Swiss bank. From now on, I won't come looking for you."After saying this coldly, Mr. Peter Desmond pushed her away again.Alice looked at the documents scatte
What she wanted to ask was not just about his cheating but also about him having a daughter with someone else while she was pregnant with their child.But how could she ask such a question?Especially when he had hidden it for over twenty years!Moreover, back then, he and her mother were also the kind who cheated.If she wanted to blame someone, she could only blame him for being too careless, cheating without any precautions, without being discreet!Hearing her daughter ask like that, Mrs. Olivia Forger was momentarily surprised and burst into laughter."If he cheated, what position do I have to blame him? I also meddled in someone else's marriage, and he divorced his previous wife because of me. If such a situation were to repeat, I would also have to bear it." Mrs. Olivia Forger said, gently patting her daughter's face, "But rest assured, I'm not young anymore, and he is even older than me. He treated me well over the years, so you don't need to worry about this."If it were in th
"But is there anyone in this world who isn't greedy?"She just wanted to reclaim what belonged to her, so why was it so difficult?As they descended the stairs, a police car rushed over, siren blaring, and stopped right in front of them. Wilma Bonet felt a sense of dread in her heart, and her body trembled slightly.Two police officers got out of the car and walked towards them."Is Wilma Bonet, Miss Bonet?" One of the officers spoke.Wilma Bonet nodded."We suspect you're involved in a murder case. Please come to the police station for investigation."Upon hearing this, Wilma Bonet's face turned pale, and she fainted in Bram Stoker's arms.o0oForger Group"Thank you for this information, dear."Damian Desmond hung up the phone and walked to his desk, where Alex Desmond sat on the balcony enjoying tea.Alex Desmond put down his tea and stood up. There was a faint smile on his face. "I'm just a little ahead of you."When Damian Desmond dispatched his people to arrest Hayden Forger, Al
"Choose not to, then no need to return." Damian Desmond nodded, "Who knows, maybe even your mother doesn't want you to call someone else 'mother.'""But right now, we're hiding it from Mom!""Let's wait until Mom is a bit better; then, we'll find an opportunity to tell her." No paper can contain fire; the truth hidden for over 20 years will eventually emerge."According to you, do you think Mom would blame us for taking her daughter to court?" This is what she's worried about."Perhaps in Mom's eyes, you are her only daughter.""Really?""Really."Even though she knew he was consoling her, she felt much lighter.Even though Mom might know and would probably scold, she still wanted to take Wilma Bonet to court to make her face the consequences of the law.The two of them left the police station, and just as they were about to get into their car, another car arrived, stopping by the roadside. Taylor Forger leaned on a cane as he stepped out of the vehicle. "Dad..."Despite her inner dis
"But those types of men become more refined and sensible over time. I wonder what kind of person he likes?"She wanted to try and find out!When Anna Desmond entered Emmett Bukk's office, he stood with his back to the door, searching through a massive cabinet at the far end of the room for a document. He wore a simple white shirt, making his figure look even more elegant."Who's there?"Hearing the sound of high heels, Emmett Bukk furrowed his brow, and as his fingers touched the folder he was looking for, he paused. His voice carried a hint of irritation. He remembered he had no appointments, so who dared to barge in like this?The response to his question was the sound of approaching high heels and the thud of the folder on the table.The only person who would stand so arrogantly in front of him was...Surprised, he turned to see Anna Desmond with both hands resting on the table before her. She smiled slightly as if it was there and yet not quite there.Emmett Bukk cleared his throa
"Let me go out and buy it; it would be better." Emmett Bukk did consider that option, but compared to going into her office to fetch the clothes, he preferred going out to buy them. The top floor was a dangerous place! The boss often worked overtime until midnight. He went home to sleep only recently because he had a fiancée.If he were to go up now, he might be caught at any moment!The current relationship between him and her, what was it? Did he have to explain to the boss how he went into her office to get clothes?Would he directly admit to having wholly devoured the boss's little sister?That was not a good idea!Moreover, even though the big boss was younger than him, things were fine regarding work discussions. However, once it involved matters between men and women, especially with the boss's little sister, there were many things he honestly couldn't talk about.Most importantly, up until now, he still didn't fully understand her attitude, so he didn't dare to assume too much
Although skeptical of their relationship, he didn't worry as much as Fiona Forger. Regardless, when she approached him, even if he didn't ask, she would likely reveal everything.Thus, Miss Forger followed Mr. Deputy CEO Bukk, who was taking heavy steps, into the elevator excitedly.o0oUpon reaching the 27th floor, Emmett Bukk couldn't find any reason to prevent Fiona Forger from wanting to enter his office with him.But since he had already done so, he wasn't the type to shirk responsibility. As long as she agreed, he could marry her immediately.Thinking like this, his tense mood suddenly disappeared, and he felt incredibly light.After having consumed someone so thoroughly, how could he not calculate for the aftermath?Although on that evening, when she actively seduced him, he hadn't considered taking responsibility, their relationship became more complex as time passed. He had already erased his traces from her life, and as a man, how could he avoid his responsibilities?Even if
"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
