"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
Throwing the phone onto the bed, Fiona Forger rushed out of the room to find Cherry Desmond, only to see her standing at the door, shaking the phone in her hand."He thought something had happened to us. Please answer his call," Cherry said, turning on the phone and realizing there were numerous missed calls, most of them from Anna, all about this incident."What happened?" Fiona Forger was taken aback."On the way back, there was a traffic accident involving two Asian girls like us. The eldest brother couldn't contact us, so he was distraught. I heard the office was in chaos! Can you go and comfort that tyrant a bit?"So, she scolded her so harshly earlier because she was worried about her?!The resentment in Fiona's heart vanished because of Cherry Desmond's words."I'm coming back tomorrow; I'll book the ticket now. Do you want to come with me?"Miss Forger was naturally optimistic, and the fact that someone was worried about her made the explanation about her son no longer critica
Cherry Desmond looked at the bandage in her hand, then glanced at the tall, slender figure growing distant in the dim, hazy light. The loneliness in her heart felt like a dark abyss, growing larger with each passing moment. The space, the emptiness inside her, made her feel like she could be sucked into that dark abyss at any time.Only when the man's figure was no longer visible did she regain her focus, tearing the personal bandage carefully and applying it to the wound on her foot? A cool sensation spread from her foot to her whole body, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face, drop by drop, falling to the ground.If it were before, he would have carefully lifted her foot, helping her apply the bandage with a heart full of pain. But now...Although her cold attitude was intentional, he left her alone on an unfamiliar road in a foreign country and walked away like that. It pained her heart.The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Unable to hold back, she
Fiona Forger planned to take her son to her apartment and maybe ask her mother to look after him in the evening. Although her son could take care of himself and didn't need her to worry, he was still young. How could she leave him alone at home with peace of mind?As for explaining the situation to her mother, she would figure that out later.She couldn't delay the matter with her boss any longer. Otherwise, it would be exposed sooner or later, which would be disastrous. She decided to visit him tonight and see how things were.As Fiona and her son were about to get in the car, she noticed a familiar figure walking towards them amidst the crowd of attendants. Wasn't that her father? Why was he at the airport? Did he come to pick up an important client?Fiona didn't have time to speculate about why her father was there because he had already noticed her. She quickly pushed her son into the car and said, "Wait inside!" before closing the door. Then she looked at Butler John and said, "B
Since the mother and son entered the dining room, Grandfather Desmond's gaze never left Puddy Forger for a second. Even when Fiona Forger respectfully called out to him, he seemed not to hear, leaving her standing there anxiously, unsure of what the older man was thinking."Old man, can we start eating?" Aunt Melody whispered behind Grandfather Desmond, but he just nodded without saying a word. On the other hand, Puddy Forger raised his chin arrogantly and said, "Aren't you supposed to invite us to eat? Standing here for too long makes my legs tired. Can we finally eat or not?""You impudent brat!" Grandfather Desmond almost let slip a scolding remark but managed to stop himself. With a hint of anger, he asked, "What's your name?"Puddy Forger turned his head away, ignoring the question."Grandfather, his name is Puddy Forger." Fiona Forger discreetly squeezed her son's hand as a signal, then reluctantly answered on his behalf, not daring to hide anything.If Grandfather deliberately
Fiona Forger placed her hand on her son's forehead, feeling that his temperature was average, indicating that he wasn't sick."You're exhausted, aren't you?" she asked. "We were on the plane for over seven hours today. Even though the time difference is only two hours, I'm exhausted, and you must be too.""Yes," Puddy Forger replied softly, his eyes almost closed."I'm sorry, my dear. I made you go through all this because of me." Fiona's eyes welled up with tears as she pulled her son into her arms, burying her face in his neck. She felt guilty and selfish, realizing that her impulsive and unpredictable actions had caused her son to be so exhausted."Don't bother about me, Mom. Let me sleep!" The obedient little boy allowed his mother to hold him, too tired to even move.Fiona didn't say anything more, just holding onto her son tightly, quietly cherishing the warm moments between them.When they arrived at their apartment, Puddy was still fast asleep. Fiona didn't wake him up and ref
