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
