Calvin was too lazy to even glance at the details of the two men. He didn’t know them personally, but he was well-acquainted with their fathers, who still had to greet him politely whenever they met.Kevin noticed the time and gently reminded him, “Sir, shall we leave now?”Calvin hadn’t been paying attention to the clock. It was only the sinking afterglow of the sun outside his window that hinted at the passage of time.“What’s the hurry?” Calvin said nonchalantly. “Let her wait a while and see how sincere the Blake family is about this marriage.”Kevin discreetly glanced at his watch. It was already seven o’clock. Fortunately, the meeting location was only ten minutes away, so the delay wasn’t excessive. Yet, he couldn’t help but feel that his boss’s attitude was typically arrogant, taking things for granted as usual.Whether in work or life, Calvin’s natural authority drew people to flatter and curry favor with him.The two men sat silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling window,
Anna knew that George didn’t like childish and ignorant girls, and wanted to find a granddaughter-in-law who understood things and knew what was going on inside and out. So, she smiled in a dignified manner and said, “The restaurant environment is too beautiful. I was just too engrossed in enjoying the scenery and didn’t really care about the time.”Calvin sits across her, crossing his long legs. His body movements are casual. For no reason born out of self-confidence, there are three impetuous, ‘I like this attitude.’Anna picked up the glass of juice with one hand, showing the rose Cartier fine bracelet on her white wrist, and translucent nude pink manicure. All the details are well-matched. Sitting in the carved beams, wearing the dress with Tencel fabric, she showed the beauty of a gentle and soft woman.“Even though I had stayed abroad for a long time and had seen many foreign beautiful things and people, I still couldn’t help but miss our country. For example, the redfish in the
It’s been three years, but some people are still spoiled with their stink!Adriana doesn’t understand why some people like to book the whole venue just for a meal. Did they have a lot of money?’Mark turned back only to see a man and woman sitting not far away. The woman had her back towards him, so he couldn’t see her. As for the man, he looks very eye-catching and he can tell from a glance that he was not an ordinary guy. He had met many financial circle tycoons, but he didn’t have any impression of the man sitting in front of him.“Me and my friend just came here to have a simple meal. Don’t worry, we won’t affect them to talk about their love.”This was the first time he had invited Adriana to dinner. If they were kicked out in the middle of the meal, how could he face her in the future?The manager’s face darkened. If it was someone else there might be a room for negotiation, but the other person was Calvin Walker.“I am sorry, I am afraid…”The manager hadn’t been able to comple
Adriana was speechless. She didn’t want to have anything to do with this Blake family princess, but she had been targeting her at every turn. It was obvious that she was looking for trouble.They had no grudges in the past, and the only common thing they had crossed paths with was Calvin.Now she and Calvin have long been separated and will have nothing to do with each other in the future. However, Anna seems to have been taking her as her imaginary enemy, and Adriana is not very happy with such an incitement. So, she is prickly when she opens her mouth again.Adriana smiled generously as she said, “Being a Lawyer is quite good, as we can see through people. For example, from your temperament I can tell that your identity must not be simple, right? However, everyone is not like you. I had a friend, who was once tricked by a woman. She always put on so much makeup, hiding her true face, looking all vulgar. I don’t know how people get fascinated by it?”Adriana smiled brightly as she sa
Adriana knew that he was insulting her and her hands shook with anger.Anna snickered. She thought that Calvin was still in love with Adriana, but now she saw that he simply hated her!Calvin is someone who loves his face so much, however, he still openly ridicules Adriana in front of outsiders. One can see how much hatred he had in his heart for her.Unconsciously, she straightened up, inclined her head to look at the right-hand side, “Counselor Clarke, please don’t mind him. He is quite a straightforward person and doesn’t like others' hypocritical behavior. He is a little chivalrously style.”Mark didn’t think it was chivalry. He put cold arrows everywhere. To be honest, it was very ungentlemanly. “Albany is not too big or a small city and it’s a fate that we can meet. So, why don’t we laugh off the enmity?”He said as he raised his glass.However, no one responded to him.The atmosphere was a little awkward.After a long time, Mark sardonically put down his wine glass. “I was so f
Adriana could tell that Anna was pointing at her, alluding to how her marriage with Calvin had ended back then.Anna bowed her head and said, “I’m just saying we can try.”Adriana slowly lowered her head and was about to zap the bowl with frustration.Mark noticed and asked, “Are you okay?”Adriana put down her cutlery, already full of anger. “I’m going to the bathroom.”****“Adriana, it’s been a long time!”She hadn’t expected Anna to follow her.Adriana frowned and asked, “What? Do you want something from me?”Anna put her arm around Adriana’s shoulder and spoke with a smile, “You’re progressing quite fast. By the way, who was the one eating with you just now?”Adriana scowled. “It’s none of your business!”“You’ve been divorced for so long, so it’s normal to find a boyfriend. But you can’t be that desperate and target a married man! Didn’t you see the wedding ring on his finger? Or are you just in a hurry to be the third party?”Adriana shot back, “Confessing your feelings in publ
"He doesn’t love you!"Adriana’s face remained as calm as water, but her heart shattered, and the sharp pain cut through to her very bones.If Calvin had truly loved her, he wouldn’t have just stood aside and watched her family go bankrupt. He wouldn’t have stayed silent when the debtors blocked their door, pouring filthy water over her family and dragging their names through the mud. No matter how much she pleaded and cried before him, he had remained indifferent.He just didn’t love her.She still remembered that night—standing outside his door, soaked by the pouring rain for hours, crying until her voice turned hoarse. But no matter how hard she begged, he never opened the door. He didn’t even look at her, let alone say a word.If the butler hadn’t dragged her away, maybe she would have died that night.If her body hadn’t been battered to its limits, she wouldn’t have...The pain in her heart constricted, as though it had been thrown into a blender, shattering and slicing into her
The case is already over, and they are not partners anymore!Ask her to go over there!Dream on!Adriana didn’t bother and put her phone back into her bag.Except for having a good background, what else does Anna have? Her face didn’t look good, her heart was as back as coal, and she put so much makeup on her face that one couldn’t even see her true skin. Adriana resents this kind of person the most, and she hates Calvin even more who wants to get married to her.Seeing Adriana’s reaction, Calvin raised his eyebrows slightly.****What Adriana had said earlier kept repeating in Anna’s mind like a film and because of this she felt a little strange to be standing with Calvin, “Calvin, where is your car?”They had a little drink in the evening, so she couldn’t drive. Moreover, she hadn’t informed her driver as at a time like this it’s supposed to be the man who takes the woman home.However, Calvin didn’t have self-consciousness at all, “I still have something to do. You take a cab to go
It was the first time Calvin had heard Adriana scold him using his full name.She was so angry that her face stiffened, her forehead bulged with misplaced veins, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with endless fury.His deep, unhurried gaze ran over her face as if he were admiring a small wildcat blowing up in his master’s hand. “What do you think I want? Anyone who betrays me has to pay, and the only thing about you that interests me is your dying breath.”Adriana laughed bitterly, her heart weary, her once-erect posture now wilting feebly. “I didn’t betray you.”But she couldn’t say, ‘I love you with all my heart. I just didn’t think so much would happen behind my back,’ nor did she want to justify the fragmented memories of the past six years.After pausing for a moment, she said, “By the end of next week, after the implementation, you and I will return to our original worlds. Before then, I’ll move out of the Green Wick complex. You lost your money, and I lost six years of my
Calvin lifted his arm, and his fingers frivolously slid from her brow bone to her chin. He moved closer to her, shortening the distance between them.Ten centimeters, five centimeters, one centimeter… he didn’t stop until when their lips were only an inch apart from each other. If they moved a little, their lips would touch each other.“A dog wagging its tail begging for mercy from me dares to be compared to a canary raised in a cage. You don’t mind the fishy smell on your body, aren’t you afraid that others will be disgusted that you are dirty?”“Oh, so there are still some things in the world that Calvin Walker is no good at, such as cursing. You should learn from Miss Blake how to curse people without repetition.”No one was around, so Adriana was not worried about being seen by anyone. She stepped on her high heels and took a half step closer to the man’s chest, tilting her head. Although she was short in height, she was not afraid at all. “No, I also feel dirty. When I think of m
