"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
The backdrop, as well as Emmett Bukk's background, is relatively straightforward. His parents immigrated abroad early on, and his older brother married and settled in a foreign country.He worked in Singapore alone and generally had no bad habits or promiscuous rumors. He held a high-level managerial position and was young enough. A man of his means could easily attract the attention of other women. Without a doubt, he was a valuable single man. However, these conditions didn't sway much in front of the Desmond family.But matters of the heart are between two people. The Desmond family didn't need to seek a foothold by marrying off their offspring to bolster their position. Merely the existence of his life, his grandsons, was enough to create a new high in the business world.Therefore, even if Emmett Bukk might not be on par with Anna Desmond, it was an absolute non-issue as long as the two had their hearts set on each other.And he also believed that Emmett Bukk wasn't like Kellan L
A slight pang of sadness made her want to cry, which was quite unlike her style.Fiona Forger blinked her eyes, leaned forward, and kissed his cheek. "Uncle, having you is wonderful!"o0oThe Desmond family mansion had never been as lively as today since Fiona Forger introduced her son to everyone for the first time.Anna Desmond, the head secretary, and the family's youngest daughter, suddenly had someone come to propose to her at home. Such a significant event naturally attracted a crowd to witness the excitement.It was unexpected how well she had kept it a secret. Her parents had quietly worried about her marriage situation for some time, searching everywhere for a suitable match. But little did they know, the groom-to-be had come directly to their doorstep to propose.Rumor had it that the one who had captured the heart of the head secretary was a high-ranking individual within the company. Thus, not only did the family's senior members come to witness the event, but also the you
If that's the case, their daughter has suffered a lot! However, in front of the head of the family, they had no right to speak, even if it concerned their daughter. They had to wait for the head of the family to talk first."No, I have always respected her!" Respect my foot! Anna Desmond cursed inwardly!The first time he came to her house, he showed great respect for her! But when she undressed and stood before him, that respect was nothing but empty words."Our Anna is not easy to handle!" The head of the family sighed."Anna is a rich young lady, but she came to me, and I won't let her suffer."Although his house couldn't compare to the Desmond family's, he was a man with abilities and responsibilities. He would do his best to ensure his woman's happiness and comfort."I intend to marry her. Do my parents have any requests for us?""Grandfather, my parents don't have any requests. Please trust me. As long as you entrust Anna to me, it's enough." He had never considered marrying a w
Opening a small compartment in the car, he took out an exquisite box and opened it.A pair of beautiful diamond rings sparkled and shimmered under the dim, ethereal light.He took out the feminine-style ring, turned her hand, and held it up.Her hand was beautiful, each slender finger delicate and graceful, as white as a lotus bud often compared.A pair of hands like these, just by looking at them, one could tell they hadn't experienced hardships.But it didn't matter.The words he spoke earlier in front of the elders of the Desmond family were all sincere. They just wanted to hand her over to him!Didn't she scold him a moment ago and even reject his proposal?Because of the rush, he hadn't had a chance to give her the ring.Now that she was sleeping so soundly, he couldn't resist the urge to bind her to him forever.Finally, the sparkling diamond ring was placed on her long, slender finger. He lowered his head, gently kissing it.o0oOn the same night, in a nursing home,Aboli Brian
