"Wait a moment." The grandfather called back.Damian Desmond paused, curious to hear what his grandfather wanted to say."So, what about the engagement of the two of you?" the grandfather asked."I've been busy lately and haven't had time to arrange it. Grandfather, can you help me choose an auspicious date for our engagement? We can do it with just our family; no need to invite many people," Damian replied.Being busy was indeed true. With his parent's recent divorce, he had been even more active, and his investments required his attention.Of course, they would still get married, but Fiona had just entered his life, and it would be good to give her some time to enjoy her freedom. After all, she was still young.Engagement would signify their status, but he would wait until he got through this busy period to have time to go out with her. It wouldn't be longer than six months at the most."We'll handle this tomorrow. And make sure nothing unexpected happens this time, understand?" Six
Desmond CorporationAnna Desmond entered the office, waiting for her boss's approval. Her gaze secretly swept across the sofa where Miss Forger was sound asleep with a pillow in her arms. It's genuinely unfair how some people have robust support from their bosses, allowing them to sleep as they please without financial worries, unlike Anna, who worked hard and always felt short of money, especially when dealing with her boss's temper."Aren't you going out?" The boss placed the documents on the table, and after almost a minute of waiting for Anna's response, he couldn't help but remind her.The chief secretary snapped back to attention and quickly picked up the documents. "Boss, if there are no issues with the recruitment, I'll inform the HR department."Sigh, if she doesn't get a raise, so be it. But seeing Miss Forger enjoying such good fortune today only makes Anna feel even more frustrated. If she finds an assistant for her boss a little earlier, she could have more leisurely days
He genuinely came for business and not out of boredom to bother others. He wasn't really that malicious."The secretary's office is currently hiring. If you don't want to wait a few more days, let Anna immediately send someone over.""Okay, I'll go find Anna. Let's talk slowly."After Chris Desmond left, the boss pulled the girl in front of him into his arms and embraced her tenderly before finally letting go. The two of them went out to have a meal together.Meanwhile, Desmond Senior was anxious about his grandson's marriage and brought Puddy Forger to the Forger Group the next day to meet Taylor Forger.Despite Taylor Forger's anger towards Damian Desmond, he still had to personally go downstairs to greet Desmond senior because, in the business world, Desmond old held significant influence.His spirit soared when Desmond Senior saw Taylor Forger, who had rarely appeared in public places for the past few years. Accompanied by a child wearing a backward baseball cap, Taylor Forger see
But why is your son so much less decisive than others? Just because of a girl, he's so indecisive and worried. How pitiful..."Mom, I know I'm handsome; no need to praise me anymore." Jackson Hale stood up, walked to his mother's side, and touched her shoulders. "I know you rushed here as soon as you got off the plane because of the major event in my life, but I think you should rest a bit for your health. I'll come home for dinner with you tonight."The CEO Hale spoke while picking up the handbag on the table, handing it to his mother, and then pushing her towards the door.Let his mother continue to make a fuss like this. Today's work would be skipped altogether."Son, are you complaining that I'm bothering you?" Mrs. Sandra Hale glared at her son, dissatisfied."No way, Mom." Jackson Hale continued to smile. "I'm not a child anymore. I have a sense of moderation in everything I do. You don't need to worry so much.""Why can't you just snatch Fiona to yourself with moderation? Do yo
"Where are we going?" Fiona Forger asked, looking up at Damian Desmond with a slightly flushed face.Damian Desmond bent down and looked at her rosy face. Fiona Forger shook her head, and he didn't say anything else, but his steps seemed to slow down a bit.As they walked, Fiona Forger stole glances at the tall, dignified man beside her. He was tall! Probably not less than 1.85 meters, while she was 1.64 meters tall, which wasn't short compared to other girls, but standing next to him, she was a head shorter, barely reaching his shoulders.He had straight features, thick eyebrows, and bright eyes. He exuded a powerful aura, the kind of man that made many girls fall for him, right? At least she knew there were a few.But this man, now holding her hand and walking on the crowded street, even had a child together. She had never dared to imagine that one day she would walk alongside the father of her child like a married couple.Married couple - the concept of marriage felt very strange t
Damian Desmond got up and saw a person and a dog rolling around on his bed. The pitiful bedsheet was pulled off, with one half falling onto the floor and the other half wrinkled."You shouldn't play on the bed; it's dirty," he intended to tell the dog.Upon hearing someone speak ill of his dog Xu, Puddy immediately got angry and pulled Xu into his arms. "Xu takes a bath every day and likes to be clean. Don't say he's dirty."Even Xu, in the little boy's arms, seemed to understand that the master was dissatisfied with him. It also knew that the little master was helping it regain fairness. It looked at Damian Desmond with big round eyes...Those eyes were truly pitiful, melting even the heart of someone who didn't like cats and dogs like him. Was this small creature the dog Fiona Forger used to provoke him before?Thinking of the past lies, she used to create misunderstandings, he couldn't help but sigh. Because of her, he treated his son like Xu."Okay." He raised his hands in surrend
"Why is it like that?" Fiona Forger asked, her mouth agape.Indeed, she hadn't had time to keep up with the news these past few days, so she had no idea about such an important matter. It wasn't that she didn't watch the news, but more accurately, she was being squeezed dry by the great boss next to her. She had no energy and no time to watch anything.The man placed a hand over her mouth and said, "You don't need to worry too much about other people's matters. Is Puddy still mad at me?" The topic shifted to their son, diverting her attention from the question she had intended to ask about Damian's parents' divorce."Don't give it such a stern and fierce look next time. Even if our child is wrong, they are still a child and will be scared." She pleaded on behalf of their son."Did someone intentionally lead them astray for so many years?" Thinking of this, she still felt a little uneasy.Did he want to settle the score with her now? Miss Forger shuddered. "No one did it on purpose.""
Even if she couldn't become Damian Desmond's wife in this lifetime, she could still become his stepmother. Isn't that an exciting thing?Lying on the bed, the girl smiled weakly, her decision already made. Using the child to exchange for what she wanted, it was worth it!o0oAt 7 a.m., after finishing his morning swim, Damian Desmond returned to the villa. It was still quiet, indicating that his little piglet was asleep, but that little brat... Who knows where he was?As he was thinking about it, he saw Puddy Forger carrying a dog from the second floor. As Damian Desmond raised his head, he caught sight of the little boy, and their eyes met in mid-air...Puddy Forger didn't avoid his gaze. Under his observation, he walked downstairs. As he passed by Damian Desmond, the man spoke first."Still mad at Dad?" The imposing man relaxed and straightened himself up. He wasn't just a kid, after all. The necessary rituals would be taught to him gradually.Why bother with a brat? Even if he didn
