With a puzzled look on her face but not daring to ask any more questions, Linda wasted a lot of strength lifting the other two suitcases into the house, but before she could raise them upstairs, she was called back by a graceful and arrogant female voice, 'Stop!'
'Miss Richart!' Linda bowed politely.
'Whose luggage is this?' Loona Richart stared at the two suitcases in Linda's hand and asked.
Before Linda had time to react, she heard Damian Desmond, who had unknowingly been standing at the top of the stairs, faintly saying, 'Bring my stuff up here.'
Encountering a big obstacle, Loona Richart could only watch as Linda lifted the two monstrous suitcases upstairs and then disappeared before her eyes, including the back of Damian Desmond.

At the urging of her son, Fiona Forger reluctantly only had to hide in her room, summoning up the courage to call the Desmond family, but her finger had been on the screen for a long time and still did not dare to press the call.
She knew that other than calling the Desmond family, there was no other way to contact Damian Desmond. Of course, she couldn't ask Norman Desmond or Cherry Desmond for his private number.
Therefore, it is only possible to call the Desmond family and ask, hoping the people of the Desmond family can't remember her voice.
When she heard her son's shout and knocking on the door, she pressed her hand down...

At seven o'clock, dinner at the Desmonds began on time.
The large dining room with a long dining table now has only four people. Sitting in the chair is Mr. Matthew Desmond, opposite Mrs. Sandra Desmond, seated on the left is Damian Desmond and across from him is Loona Richart.
The meal had just begun. Mr. Matthew Desmond and Damian Desmond ate in silence. In contrast, Mrs. Sandra Desmond and Loona Richart occasionally exchanged a few sentences about how to prepare food or recent events in the upper class.
Halfway through the meal, butler John came in, apologized profusely to the owner and guests at the dining table, and went to Damian Desmond's side, 'Young Master, you have a phone call.'
Phone call?
Damian Desmond raised an eyebrow, 'Who?'
'Is a girl.' Butler John answered very concisely.
But his brief answer caused the other three on the table to stop moving their hands and look at housekeeper John without an appointment.
The face of Mr. Matthew Desmond was attractive. Mrs. Sandra Desmond looked incredulous, and Loona Richart immediately thought of two pink suitcases that had just been brought into the house earlier.
'What happened?' Contrary to the reactions of the three, Damian Desmond remained very calm.
'She said there were some things that fell on the young master's car, and wanted to ask you when it would be convenient for her to come over.' The butler John used a voice everyone could hear, and it was apparent in his heart what the girl refused to reveal but what the familiar voice was talking about. Of course, who knew it was not only housekeeper John but also Loona Richart?
'Lots of things in Damian's car?' Mrs. Sandra Desmond looked at her son and housekeeper with wide eyes. Didn't her son just come back from Australia? Is there any girl in his car? Thinking of this, she became even more surprised, 'Damian, what kind of young lady are you acquainted with?'
Hearing this, Loona Richart's face became even more unsightly.
'Butler John, answer the other person; she dialed the wrong number.' With absolutely no intention of satisfying anyone's curiosity, Damian Desmond took a napkin, elegantly wiped his mouth, and stood up, 'Everyone eat slowly; I have work to do upstairs first.' 'Damian, wait...' Mrs. Sandra Desmond hurried to stop her son, but unfortunately, her son's footsteps did not stop for a second. 'I have work tonight, too.' Mr. Matthew Desmond stood up, 'Loona, eat slowly; tell the driver to take you home later.' 'Something to do? What else can you do?' Mrs. Sandra Desmond looked at her husband with ironic eyes, and Mr. Matthew Desmond, for his wife's taunts, did not take it to heart and walked away. On the long dining table, there were still many dishes left untouched, and the two women each had the same unhappy mood; Mrs. Sandra Desmond is because of the indifference of her son and husband, and Loona Richart is because of the two suitcases and the strange phone call. Who is that girl, afte
That's right, and she's not old; her 24th birthday hasn't passed yet! But the fact that she has a son who is almost six years old is also actual. Fiona Forger carefully looked at herself in the mirror, her so-called pretty and delicate face, fair and flawless skin; if there were anything on her body worth comparing with others, it would be only her skin. This natural white is worth it; not being blackened by the Melbourne sun is not bad. If she didn't say it, no one would know she was so young that she became a mother! No matter how you look at it, she's still very young and cute! But in this world, the most afraid is comparison! Who told Fiona Forger she had a mother of unparalleled grace and beauty? If people compare her with a mother with a beautiful body and face, people who don't know her might think that she is not a biological child. But the truth is the truth; she is the biological daughter of her parents; otherwise, how could she carry her properly into the main gate of th
Obviously, in the well-written, all the assets of the Forger Corporation belonged to her brother; why would her father change it to such a situation now?On the way from home to work, Fiona Forger always feels like her life from this moment has been completely turned upside down...She's not good at studying and has no interest and experience in managing a company; why would her father want to throw this hot potato at her? Is this different from wanting someone who can't swim and jump into the sea to commit suicide? Just now at the Forgers' house, it wasn't that she didn't refuse her father's ask, but in the end, because she couldn't stand the tears of her mother, she lost...'...Fiona Forger, the three children next to him were more or less intermediate; his son and daughter took all their possessions and left; now he is alone with you and me, heartlessly watching the Forger family's passion drift by the river flow into the sea?''...Fiona Forger, being a human, must have a conscienc
In the twenty-six years of her life, Fiona Forger feared the most two people, one being Jacky Forger, and the other, of course, Damian Desmond.Fiona Forger is afraid of Jacky Forger because she feels he always does not see her as a sister, and she does not dare to please him. Moreover, he is a tranquil person; when he does not talk, glance or look. His bass side is enough to make others freeze.As for why she was afraid of Damian Desmond...Saying it repeatedly, Damian Desmond and Jacky Forger have a lot in common, both being the patriarch of a great family, very high status, very elite, and very quiet, making her dare not look more than once.But that's just one reason, the more important reason is...'To find Damian?'Jacky Forger quietly watched her "sister," who was hastily withdrawing her feet, clearly wanting to distance herself from her, ask in a low voice.'Yes.' Fiona Forger did not expect Jacky Forger to take the initiative to talk to her and to say such a long sentence; she
She doesn't know whether these silly lies can deceive her father.'So, do you have a date with him or not?' Dad didn't scold her but threw another problematic question at her.Dad, she can't run in time; how dare she meet him?Fiona Forger fell silent. 'Fiona Forger, I can only rely on you now. You have to try a little harder, don't embarrass us, Forgers. I have just accepted a job at the company, and there are many things that I don't know you also understand. Tomorrow you officially go to work, and I will ask Director Lautner to teach you more. But you remember, tomorrow at the company, the first thing is to contact Damian Desmond to reschedule a meeting as quickly as possible.'If we don't hurry, the Forgers will be out of their way...Dad has already pleaded in such a low voice if she doesn't accept, her mother will not forgive her...'I know...' She said ruefully, 'Dad...'Fiona Forger remembers meeting Jacky Forger at the door of Desmond Corporation today, wondering if she shoul
'Don't dream. Tomorrow the aunt will take me to choose a school.' How could she not understand her son's mind?'Miss Forger, does your son make you so embarrassed? Why don't you let me see my grandparents? Or ask the aunt to take me to my father's house? The aunt said that many people are in the house, it's very noisy...' As long as you don't go to school, whatever, you don't have to follow your mother to the company.' Puddy Forger...' Fiona Forger let go of Xu's hand, got up and went to his son's side, reached out and touched his head, 'Your family is very crowded, but do you want to live a life like Edward Cullen?''Mother, is it possible that my father's family has as much money as Mr. Cullen?' Just thinking of Edward Cullen at such a young age that Mr. Cullen trained like the future heir, had to study all kinds of subjects every day along with all sorts of annoying etiquette, had to go to the office to look at the reports on his days off, absolutely no childhood worth mentioning c
Although she could be said to be utterly ignorant of Starstone.'Miss Forger, do you need to speak to the Desmond Corporation first?' Director Lautner heard that she wanted to contact the person in charge of Starstone, hesitated for a moment, and then suggested.Forger Corporation and Starstone have indeed cooperated, but outside rumors about Jackson Hale, the man in charge of Starstone, are mixed for good and evil; according to him, looking for Desmond Corporation is more satisfactory.Anyway, they have not flatly refused, meaning there is still hope.'Miss Forger, I also agree with Director Lautner.' Director Van also spoke up.Fiona Forger knows that she is nothing in business, what should be done is to listen to the opinions of the two directors, but she is too cowardly, not daring to face Damian Desmond and not bluntly refute them because she had no good reason to say.'So we can arrange a meeting with the person contacting the Desmond Corporation?' Director Lautner spoke again.
'I do not want.' She bit her lip in protest. That's brave! Fiona Forger silently praised herself.'Fiona Forger, how much do you think you understand Jackson Hale? For the cooperation benefits from the marketplace, understand how much. I tell you to refuse, refuse.' His tone was rigorous, with a sense of not being rejected by others.'Indeed, I don't know much about the market, but today not only Mr. Ken and I talked, but the company's two directors were also there; we reached a preliminary agreement; needn't you tell me to resist, I can resist.'Fiona Forger bit her lip, hesitantly uttering the longest sentence she'd known Damian Desmond until now.And according to her words, his face was getting increasingly unsightly, but she didn't say anything wrong. She doesn't have to be afraid at all! She said that to herself, but as soon as she said it, Fiona Forger was still so nervous that she moved close to the car door, keeping as far away as possible from him.Haizz wants to open the car
"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
