Waverly was nearly suffocated by his kiss. She pushed his shoulder away. Joseph became even more reluctant to let go of her. He closed his eyes and bit her lips. His body temperature was high. The heat seemed to have spread to her. She felt hot. She didn't know if it was because she was pushing him or because she was getting hot, but her nose was covered in sweat. Even if he was injured, his strength was still much greater than hers. She couldn't push him away and it was just a waste of strength to do so. She simply stopped struggling. She closed her eyes and stopped moving. He let go of her and looked at her stiff state with a smile, "You know what? I'm happy." She opened her eyes to look at him. He was delighted. His eyes were sparkling like children's eyes when they saw candy. They were clean and pure. She must have seen it wrongly or Joseph's acting skills were perfect. She actually thought that his eyes were pure? "What makes you hap
"Joseph, you are not a person who can easily trust others," Waverly said. Her head felt heavy, so her words came out weak. He turned her to face him and looked into her sleepy eyes, "It's impossible for you to avoid me. As if I believe that it's because you care about me." The corners of her mouth perked up, "Yadriel and Joshua say that you love me. Do you love me?" "I only love loyal women," Joseph replied with certainty. She recalled that she had asked this question previously and he seemed to have the same answer. She thought that she must be too sleepy, so she was confused. How could she ask him such a ridiculous and funny question again? How could he love her? She closed her eyes. Joseph was waiting for her to say something. Seeing that she fell asleep, he shook her. Waverly was awakened again. She complained, "Are you going to let me sleep?" He heard her tone of disdain. She was the only one who would talk to him like th
He looked out of the window, "Spring is coming. I'm craving wild greens and fresh game. Make me a good feast and I'll ask someone to send you to A Country tomorrow." "It's useless. I need to enter the country in the official way," Waverly corrected him. Joseph nodded and said, "I can satisfy your request." She breathed a sigh of relief and raised the corners of her mouth. This kind of thing was easy for her. When she was young, she was driven out by Melinda. She followed her father to collect wild vegetables and even set traps to catch wild chickens and birds. "In addition to wild fish and wild vegetables in your park, there are no wild animals, right? Can I go hunting in the mountains?" She asked. "Of course, but what can you catch?" He said with a smile. "If you ask Hayley to follow me, I can catch some wild game," she replied. He stared at her and nodded, "Okay. Are you going now?" "Yes, but I can't come back at noon. I'll cook f
There were a few pieces of bread, a large bag of beef jerky, water, shotguns, knives, flashlights, plastic bags and a small bottle of salt. She gave a piece of bread to Hayley, "Eat this. Eat while walking. You should also have this in your bag and there is beef jerky in it." "Yes. Thank you, Madam." Hayley ate. After all, she was still growing, so she had a big appetite. Waverly walked towards the mountain. In addition to Hayley, two of Joshua's men followed her. Hayley quickly finished the bread and said to her, "Madam, I love hunting. I'll lead the way." "Okay. We should also get some wild vegetables. There should be a lot of wild vegetables this season. Let's see if we can find them." "Okay." After they walked in the forest for more than half an hour, Waverly found a lot of wild leeks in the forest. She set up three traps nearby and squatted on the ground to pick up the vegetables. Hayley assisted her. Joshua's two subordinates
However, his face gave nothing away. Joseph was too unfathomable. He looked up at her. For some reason, she felt that his gaze was filled with sympathy and pity. Had she seen it wrongly? Or was he up to something else? "It's not bad." He praised, "When I visited your house, you made me meatballs too, right? I asked you how you made it. You said you added vegetables to it." Waverly sat opposite him. She calmed down and replied, "What I made before was indeed meatballs with hidden vegetable fillings." He looked up at her and said in confusion, "I asked people to make meatballs with vegetable fillings, but they don't taste the same." "It's not pork filling, but lard. I'm sure your chef won't use lard as fillings," she said. She was hungry, so she picked up a meatball. "What is lard?" Joseph frowned. It didn't sound like a good word. "You know, my father was poor at that time. My family couldn't even afford oil, let alone pork. We
"You..." Waverly paused. She wanted to ask Hayley if she had feelings for Joshua. However, when she thought about it, Hayley was still a sixteen-year-old child. No, a sixteen-year-old girl could be looking forward to love, too. "Do you like Joshua?" Waverly finally asked. "Between Joshua and Yadriel, I like Joshua. However, I like you better than Joshua, Madam. But between Mr. President and you, I still like you the most," Hayley replied naively. Waverly was relieved. Hayley did not have much contact with men. That was why she said this. She should not have any special feelings for Joshua. "I see. Let's call it a day. I'll have dinner and sleep early. I have to get up early tomorrow and go back to A Country," Waverly said and hung up the phone. She continued her meal. Fifteen minutes later, she came out of the room. There was no one else on the mountain. It was so dark that one could not see very far. The air was slightly cool and r
"Everything should be fine. I didn't hear anything from him. I'll ask and give you an update," Stella said and hung up the phone. Waverly got on the plane. The plane took off. She stared at her phone, waiting for Stella's call. When the plane entered the stratosphere, her phone rang. Waverly took it out immediately and looked at it. It was from Joseph. Her eyes dimmed. She answered the call and asked indifferently, "What's the matter?" "After spending the night together, how can you treat me like this? If that's so, I don't have anything to say to you." He hung up the phone. An idea flashed past her mind. She figured that what he wanted to tell her was about Bellamy, so she called him back immediately. On the other hand, he answered. "I haven't had breakfast or lunch. I'm not in a good mood as I'm hungry now," she explained. "What do you want to tell me?" "I have already instructed someone to cook you a meal and send it
Bellamy suddenly clenched his fists and looked at Waverly. She smiled gently, "It's about Yasmine, right? It doesn't matter. I support any decision you make." He did not hide his distress and apologized, "Something happened. At noon, I already signed the contract with her. I got 5000 new weapons from M Country as compensation." She fixed her eyes on him and her breathing hitched. She thought that he did not drive Yasmine away. She was ready to compete in intelligence and tactics to drive her away. It turned out that he had signed the contract with Yasmine before she could return to A Country. He did not give her even a sliver of a chance. He crushed her hope. There seemed to be a knife slashing her heart. She felt like she couldn't breathe due to the excruciating pain. She thought that he supported her. He came to M Country to see her and promised to take her back to A Country. He asked her to receive him and gave her a chance to negotiate. He
The bullet pierced through his chest, and blood dyed Joseph's silver coat red immediately. "Joseph!" Waverly's eyes were bloodshot, and her roaring voice was choked. He looked at her, and wanted to smile, but he didn't have the energy to do so. He fell a few steps back, and leaned against the window. The sea breeze tousled his hair into a mess. "Let go of me!" Waverly struggled, but they were too strong and she couldn't escape. "Push him down, and make sure he dies," said the person who was holding Waverly captive. "No!" Waverly yelled, but her efforts were futile. They walked up to Joseph and pushed him down the window ruthlessly. She screamed, "Joseph Mccarthy!" The person who was grabbing Waverly released her all of a sudden, and she rushed to the window as fast as lightning. Then, she jumped into the sea without hesitation. Joseph had been shot, and his blood diffused into the sea rapidly. Waverly dived into the red pool of blo
Boris asked, "What's the solution?" Breddy answered, "We'll have to make her take the initiative to face it." Boris sighed, "That's easier said than done." Shaking his head, Breddy replied, "It's not too hard. You said it yourself that she's a kind person. She would even help a complete stranger, so what makes you think she won't save a person that's extremely important to her?" Boris was stunned. Breddy continued, "If this person was heavily injured for her, she would realize that there's someone in this world who still loves her, and she'll naturally want to stay in this world for a little longer. By then, she'll be willing to open up her heart." Boris took a pause, and said, "But who is this person?" To the Waverly Martell of the past, Bellamy was everything to her. However, at present, he was nothing. She cared about everyone, but she refused to let others care about her. It seemed as if she had already merged into the world, but th
Waverly frowned and looked at Breddy's left hand. She saw as he put the coin in his left hand, "What if I want you to jump off the top floor?" "Then I'll jump right down." Breddy said affirmatively. He raised his smile and looked incredibly confident. His character was like the calm deep blue sea, vast and far-reaching, which made her feel at ease. Waverly's eyes once again fell on his left hand. "Believe in what you've seen. Things aren't as complicated as they seem. It's just that simple," Breddy reminded her. Waverly pointed at his left hand. As expected, the coin was in the palm of his hand when he opened it. "You won. What do you want me to do?" asked Breddy. Waverly looked coldly at the man in front of her. She would even save a stranger whom she didn't know, so how could she ask Breddy, who was treating her, to seek death? She had no idea why, but judging by his self-confidence, he seemed like he was playing house with
Waverly hesitated. "Just talk to the psychiatrist. Perhaps he would give you new ideas and inspirations. Didn't we agree that will be better for our future?" Boris encouraged her. "We are leaving tomorrow. We might not have time. Thank you for your kindness," Waverly said. "I have made an appointment at ten o'clock in the evening in the hotel. He will come to the hotel," Boris said. "Y-you have arranged an appointment for me today?" Waverly had an unspeakable strange feeling in her heart. Even after knowing the death of his girlfriend, Boris could still call a psychiatrist for her. Did he do so out of friendship, generosity or because he pitied her? "My girlfriend said that she wanted me to do my best to help others on her behalf," Boris said with a smile. "The heavens must have summoned her back to be an angel," Waverly comforted Boris. "I think so too." It was night. Waverly ate a little, took a shower, stayed in the r
Cadwell looked at the files in his hand. They were very thick. He flipped through them briefly. There were twelve pages in it. The files talked about a lot about the nation's history, analyzing the cause, the process, and the result of those incidents. It also explained a few things regarding Queen Danina and Prince Caesar. It analyzed their personalities and gave a prediction on what the future would be like. The analysis was flawless. Every word was written in perfect unison. He could prepare himself in times of danger, so he could exert the right amount of pressure when needed. Furthermore, she had given him two plans, one of which was to work with her and expand his diplomatic power in M Country. She represented the Mccarthy family and also the highest level of weapons. Of course, if he did not feel that such a cooperation was necessary, they would still maintain a good relationship. After all, there was no hatred between him and the Mccarthy family. He woul
"I was wrong. I've realized deeply that I was in the wrong. I should bad-mouth you rather than Madam. Mr. Mccarthy, I should offend you rather than offend Madam," Yadriel lowered his head and said in a low tone. Joseph stood up and walked up to him, "You feel wronged?" "I feel wronged on your behalf." Yadriel's eyes were red as he said, "Mr. Mccarthy, I know very well that even though you've treated her so well, she has never treated you fairly. As soon as Bellamy went to find her, she threw everything away. She didn't even want the title of Peace Lady and was willing to follow Bellamy again. Does she know how much effort, energy and time you've spent in order to earn the title of Peace Lady for her?" "She likes Bellamy, so naturally she doesn't need to think about what's fair or not with him," Joseph said clearly. "If so, why are you treating her so well?" Yadriel didn't understand Joseph's actions. "You're my best friend," Joseph said with sadness in his
Waverly sat down on the sofa, "How's your relationship with Madam Lenny?" "Oh, Madam Lenny has an excellent relationship with Queen Danina. In the past, I even had a meal with Queen Danina with her help," Thomas said. "Do you know why the relationship between her and Queen Danina is so good?" Waverly asked. "I can only say that Madam Lenny has brilliant judgement. In addition to that, she's quite capable. When Queen Danina wasn't a queen yet, they were already close friends." "Perhaps Madam Lenny invested quite a bit of effort in making Queen Danina the queen. Thus, their friendship is incredibly firm and unshakable. At the moment, Prince Caesar is one of the most popular heirs to the throne. Once he becomes king, perhaps Madam Lenny's status will become even more unwavering." "Besides that, according to what I know, Madam Lenny has a strong relationship with many other countries. If those strong countries join forces, then there's no way to break through
"When my friend sent me the video, I asked him to delete it immediately. I came here with a lot of sincerity. Since you've said so, I suppose we don't have to talk about the agreement anymore. I will leave Mexiland in a moment. I'd better not interfere with your business, lest I offend both parties," Waverly said coldly. "Who is your friend? If you don't tell me, I can only treat you as one of them. If you want to leave Mexiland, it won't be that easy," Thomas warned. "Joseph. It was Joseph who gave me the video," Waverly said and hung up. The phone rang with another call from Thomas. Waverly answered and her tone was impatient as she said, "Is there anything else?" "Why did Joseph do that? I don't have anything against him," Thomas didn't understand. "What he wants must be done. If you don't understand him, you can ask your friends about him. I have already told him not to do this, but you insisted on beating around the bush. According to my underst
Agnes smiled, "Okay." "Go rest," Waverly said and slowly closed the door. She stood by the window and looked at the traffic downstairs. Truth be told, she was quite far away and the road was so dark that she couldn't see much with her naked eyes. At most, she could feel the cars rushing by with their bright lights switched on. She wondered where the people in the cars were rushing to. Were they going home or going out to have fun? Did they have desires in their hearts or were they lost in pretense and living like a walking corpse, interacting with people every day? At the moment, she had no other choice but to march forward bravely. She didn't want to go back. She picked up her phone and blocked Bellamy's phone number with a cold and emotionless gaze. It was as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart and she felt much more relaxed. She threw her phone on the bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath. After bathing, she laid on t
