"Fiona, is there anything wrong with Jackson Hale's family? If there is, tell him to fix it until you're satisfied," Mrs Sandra Hale had already considered her as a future daughter-in-law; why would she be interested in adopting a foster child?"He's perfect." Fiona didn't know if there was anything wrong with Jackson Hale, but did that mean she should love a good man? "It's because I'm not good enough.""What are you saying?" Mrs. Sandra Hale took hold of her tiny hand, her gaze serious. "Fiona, I've liked you for a long time, but I didn't have the chance to match you with Jackson Hale."How could that be? Fiona Forger couldn't believe she could hear such hot news from Mrs Sandra Hale's mouth. Had she liked her all along? What did she have for her to like? She wasn't a prestigious young lady nor a powerful woman in the business world."That year, Norman Desmond, that little brat, abandoned you, which wasn't right, but later on, you made the eldest grandson of the Desmond family climb
The man looked at the girl, leaning against the wall, arms crossed in front of her chest as if genuinely wanting to hear her explanation."This... I was supposed to have dinner with my mother tonight, but I happened to meet him. He said it's his birthday today, so he invited me and my mother to have dinner..." With a pitiful look in her eyes, Fiona Forger felt a mixture of fear and unease in her heart. She wanted to use a "well-intentioned lie," but she didn't dare. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she spoke directly, "Going out to dinner with my mother was just an excuse to deceive him. The truth is, I went to the Hale family's house for dinner. But it really is Ken's birthday today. My mother didn't let me go out for the past few days. If it weren't for buying a birthday gift for him, my mother wouldn't have allowed me to take a step outside. After buying the gift, Ken said he wanted to treat me to dinner, but I didn't expect him to bring me home...""Do you know what you did
"Isn't the instant noodles tasty?" She took a bite of french fries while playing with her phone."Do you want some?" He lifted his fork."No." They had already eaten a lot at the Hale household earlier, but women always had room for snacks, even when complete. So she finished her cherries and continued eating the french fries.The boss continued eating his bland noodles, forgetting to add salt because he was too busy frying the fries for her. It pained him that even though he was skilled, he regretted doing something unfamiliar. The boss was total and sat next to the girl who was still enjoying her fries and watching cartoons, preparing to eat her as a late-night snack. But she was too absorbed in eating and playing to even glance at him.Unable to tolerate being ignored by the fries and cartoons, the boss frowned, snatched her phone, and turned it off, leaving Miss Forger disappointed, "There's only a few minutes left!""What's so interesting about those nutrition-less things?" If it
Fiona Forger woke up to find that it was almost noon. She had stayed awake because of hunger. The man who had tortured her all night was probably already gone to work. She stepped barefoot out of bed, intending to check the refrigerator for something to eat.Just a few steps away, she noticed the man had finished changing clothes and entered the room. Seeing her barefoot on the floor, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Why aren't you wearing slippers?"The bedroom floor had no carpet, and he was concerned that she might feel cold. "I was too hungry and forgot," she replied softly.The man walked over to her and lifted the still half-asleep girl onto the bed, "Wash your face and change clothes; we'll go out to eat.""But I'm starving. Can I have a glass of milk first?" She sat on the edge of the bed, looking pitiful.Mr Desmond looked at her with pity and reluctantly turned to warm up the milk. He didn't mind doing such things for her...Five minutes later, when Fiona Forger finished was
When she regained her composure, the man's nose almost touched her cute little nose. "Don't get so close!" she whispered. She still had a seatbelt, preventing her from getting out of the car. She could only push her hand against the man's chest and speak softly.This was the Desmond mansion, and the young master had stopped the car in front. There must have been someone waiting outside to open the door for him.At this moment, Fiona Forger's spirit was in extreme turmoil. She just wanted to get out of the car quickly, but at the same time, she was afraid to get out. She couldn't imagine what it would be like for her father and son to meet. If her son weren't so difficult to handle, it would be better, but unfortunately, Puddy Forger was a troublemaker by nature!"Alright, why worry? I've been here before. Get out of the car, and let's go find that dog," he said, helping her unfasten the seatbelt and getting out of the car first.Fiona Forger gathered her courage and got out of the car
"Fiona Forger, if you dare to make him uncomfortable again, I will kill you!"Just when she thought she would die here, the man gritted his teeth and uttered a sentence, then let go, throwing the phone in front of her and leaving without remorse.Fiona Forger knelt on the grass, holding her chest, coughing for a while before feeling slightly better. She picked up the phone, looking in the direction Alex Desmond had left, completely unaware of why he treated her like that and the warning in his words."Miss Forger, are you alright?" A gentle voice echoed in Fiona Forger's ear. She raised her head and looked at the private housekeeper of the elderly patriarch - Aunt Melody, who was nearly 50 years old this year. Why did she come to pick her up?She stood up, forcing a smile. "Aunt Melody, where are the two pets of the house?""I'll take you there." Aunt Melody smiled kindly.o0o"Take a look yourself; what is this?"The study room was filled with the scent of tea, and a stack of thickly
So the three of them and the dog quickly left Desmond's house. When the old nobleman returned and found an empty study, he was furious to the point of almost smashing the remaining antiques."Find out who the parents of that brat are!" he demanded.Meanwhile, Damian Desmond, accompanied by his parents and the Reaser family, had finished their discussion and stepped out. It was already dark, and Damian was about to call Fiona Forger when he saw her message: "Cherry and I will go ahead. He has an advertisement shoot in Melbourne, so we'll be there for a few days."Damian Desmond's return home today was a complex matter. Which advertising company would dare to hire a troublemaking kid for a shoot? What were these two up to?He tried to call her, but she didn't answer.Great! Just great! The audacity of that brat is growing with each passing day. She left only a message and fled the country!If he could, he would immediately go there and bring her back, sternly disciplining her. But he co
"Have you been tired lately? But you just resigned and started shooting commercials, so there shouldn't be too many things to keep you busy," Fiona Forger said, joining Cherry Desmond in the water, draping a towel over her head."Emotionally tired!" Cherry Desmond raised her head from the water, placed the fur towel on her face, and slowly said, "Working to make some money, but it's not enough. I wanted to find a way to make money faster, but that older man cut off my path. So, I thought, why not find a wealthy man and get married?""Didn't you say that before?" Fiona Forger swam over to her side, wrapping the fur towel on her head and leaning back in the water."Thoughts change every day!""Have you been excited about something recently? Why do you keep calling Mr. Desmond 'that old man'?" Fiona Forger asked, curious."He's always been a domineering old man!" Cherry Desmond pulled the towel down from her face and tossed it into the water, a dissatisfied expression on her face. "The D
