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
The two security guards still held back Naccy Bonet at a safe distance. Facing Mrs. Olivia Forger after hearing the whole story, she remained silent. Mrs. Olivia Forger was visibly panicked and agitated, and she had no choice but to kneel, crying and begging for forgiveness.However, no matter how submissive she cried, Mrs. Olivia Forger's gaze remained fixed in one direction. She hadn't looked at Naccy Bonet or uttered a word.And Taylor Forger refrained from speaking up even more so.Fiona Forger looked at the woman kneeling on the floor. Even though she didn't want to admit it and didn't want to say the word "mother," that woman was the reason she came into this world, the one who gave her a chance at life.Seeing that everyone remained silent, she hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Mrs. Bonet, please stand up first. My mother isn't in a good emotional state right now. Please give her some quiet time."Naccy Bonet looked at Fiona Forger with bewilderment. The daughter she had
She thought her mother was thinking about the child she had given birth to with great difficulty!She feared her mother would scold her for not showing filial respect."Thinking about what? Am I such a treacherous person?" Mrs. Olivia Forger burst into laughter.Undeniably, she had been struck hard by that truth, unable to think of anything else. She couldn't believe it, yet she couldn't deny that truth either.Throughout the day, she had been trying to calm herself down and digest all of those revelations."Mother, are you not blaming me?""When is the trial?" Mrs. Olivia Forger asked."The first hearing is in two days.""Then, can you meet her before the trial?"Mother wants to meet Wilma Bonet. Fiona Forger was taken aback. Did her mother want them to drop the lawsuit?Seeing Fiona Forger's surprised expression, Mrs. Olivia Forger gently touched her face. "Regardless, I should still meet her."Previously, when they had met, it wasn't in a mother-daughter relationship.Regardless of
It was Damian Desmond who came to pick her up. They only exchanged words on the way back to the Desmond residence. Sensing her mood wasn't good, he refrained from speaking too much as well.Upon arriving home and after a hot bath, Fiona Forger felt a bit tired and lay on the bed."Are you exhausted?" Damian Desmond asked gently, looking at her face.Fiona Forger shook her head. "Just a bit sleepy. If you have things to do, go ahead."Being together for the past two days, they accumulated much work."I don't have anything to do." He got onto the bed, pulled her into his arms, and said, "Let's sleep together."Fiona Forger leaned her head against his chest, closed her eyes, and the familiar warmth of his presence put her at ease.Damian Desmond gazed at her for a while before she drifted into a sleepy state; he whispered in her ear, "In a few days, I'll take you out."Fiona Forger heard his words but was too tired to respond. She made a faint sound before falling asleep.o0oAt 9 PM, af
That time at the hospital, her impression of him was so good, and then occasionally, you even asked why you didn't get to know him.Becoming friends with him was something you had never dared to imagine before.Interacting with him calmly like this tonight was highly satisfying to you.They could become regular friends, occasionally going out to eat together.But thinking any further was beyond your imagination.Even though becoming friends with a man of his status and position was already quite ambitious for you."Misunderstanding about what?" He continued to ask despite knowing that you wanted to avoid this topic."Mr. Forger...""Don't call me Mr. Forger anymore." His tone was stern."Okay." Does not calling him Mr. Forger mean you should call him by his first name? You... you still couldn't manage that.Okay, what? He has a first and last name, so why does he think it's so difficult to call him by his first name?Thinking about it, the expression on Mr. Forger's face became even m
"He... he's not my boyfriend." Angela Zylian, at this point, dared not get out of the car. He was so angry that if he were to catch her, it would be hard to predict the outcome. Better to run away first!"If he's not your boyfriend, then why is he chasing after you?""Please drive fast." She had lost the will even to look out the car window. And this driver, too, why was he asking so many questions? "He... he's dangerous; he forced me into his car and even wanted to take me to a hotel. Please, can you drive a bit faster?" Angela Zylian, disregarding everything, even dared to tell lies like this.With heaven as her witness, she wanted to escape from here as quickly as possible.Seeing her distressed and sad appearance, the hero in the driver surfaced. He revved the engine while scolding, "Didn't expect such a handsome and charming man to be dangerous. Don't worry, and I'll get you home as fast as possible."When the words were finished, he emphasized the gas pedal, and the car shot awa
"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
