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
Education ended, and initially, everyone thought the three would go upstairs. However, Mr. Olivia Forger unexpectedly took the initiative to approach Puddy Forger, stooping down and looking at the boy gently, "Shall we take him out to play for a bit?"Mrs. Olivia Forger found his demeanor at this moment utterly different from his harsh tone when scolding his daughter earlier, which was somewhat amusing. She stood up and said, "Puddy, many people are taking their dogs for a walk outside the small park. Would you like to take Xu there to find a playmate?""Many people are taking their dogs for a walk out there?" Puddy's eyes immediately lit up."Yes, there are." Both grandparents nodded."In that case, let's go out for a walk." Puddy hugged Xu and walked ahead, with Taylor Forger following behind.In reality, Puddy wasn't interested in finding a playmate for Xu but instead selecting a mate for him."Fiona, why were you so impolite to Miss Bonet earlier?"Now that only two of them were l
In an apartment somewhere...Wilma Bonet opened the door, threw her keys and purse onto the sofa, and walked into the dining room where Aboli Brian was carrying the last plate of food."Smells delicious; I'm starving to death," Wilma Bonet reached out to grab a piece, but Aboli Brian skillfully avoided it. "Go wash your hands and bring two bowls of rice here."Wilma Bonet pouted and walked into the kitchen.The dining table was set with four dishes, obviously too much for the two of them. The sisters ate and talked."I went to the Forger's house today," Wilma Bonet calmly said after finishing her bowl of soup."So soon?" Aboli Brian stopped her actions upon hearing her sister's words."Just to deliver some documents.""And you thought I was officially visiting. How does it feel?""A luxury villa in Sentosa, what do you think?""Do you feel uncomfortable inside?""If it were you, would you feel comfortable?""That's why we're back here." Aboli Brian shrugged."I saw that fool's son tod
As for the previous rumors about the romantic relationship between Miss Forger, CEO Desmond, and CEO Hale, it's been boiling. Why does CEO Hale keep staring at Miss Forger? Hasn't their past relationship ended yet?But Miss Forger only glanced at CEO Hale and immediately averted her gaze. Is she afraid that CEO Desmond will get angry?As for Louis Richart and Loona Richart, the two brothers from the Richart Group didn't react and were focused solely on their laptops.In reality, Loona Richart's calmness was only superficial, as internally, she was boiling with anger.Today's meeting was originally one that her grandfather didn't allow her to attend. Still, she pleaded with her eldest brother Louis Richart for a long time, promising to study alongside him without saying a word. Unable to withstand her persistent clinging, Louis Richart finally agreed to let her come along.Under everyone's gaze, it was believed that she wouldn't accomplish anything. As an older brother, he naturally ho
Upon hearing that, the boss fell silent, and she believed that his indulgence towards her could be considered love during this time. If not love, then what else could it be? Could it be that she didn't feel anything at all? This heartless person treated her well, but it was all for nothing."That's how it is!" Seeing the boss's expressionless face and silence, Miss Forger felt uneasy and bowed her head.In reality, he didn't force her to do anything during this time, not even mentioning marriage. However, due to the sudden turn of events and to provide an answer to both families and outsiders, he agreed to the proposal of getting engaged first.He wasn't like six years ago when a word of marriage wouldn't allow anyone to object. He slowly followed her lead, allowing her to get accustomed to his work, life, and, most importantly, existence.She had always been relatively casual and indifferent, but she also noticed the changes in his behavior toward her. She had never truly experienced
Angela Zylians was scheduled for an interview near the end, feeling that her interview could have been better. However, she still had to wait for the notification for the written test and practical assessment in the second round.After the interview, she was lost in her thoughts about her family and accidentally pressed the wrong floor. When she realized it upon exiting, she intended to take another elevator down. But by chance, she saw a sign pointing to the rooftop. Unconsciously, she followed it, curious to see if standing on the rooftop of the Desmond Corporation building would feel different from other places.If she had known that her unconscious action would lead her to encounter her former benefactor, she would not have taken even half a step up here.But when she pushed the door and saw the man about to leave quietly, she couldn't stop herself because Jacky Forger had already seen her.Angela Zylians didn't know how to face him at this moment. She didn't expect to meet so soo
"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
