She had seen a lot of partnership, as well as, separation in this world. Some people would fall in love and get married to each other eventually. However, they would divorce after ten or twenty years. After the divorce, they would stop contacting each other again. Marriage was as fragile as paper. Most of the time, the best way to maintain a marriage was to have children. Children were something that held actual weight, which was more useful than marriage certificates. Besides, despite how much he loved Eli, it was a fact that they had a child together. He had seen too much sorrow, joy, separation and reunion, and also the weakness of the relationships between family, friends, and lovers. Sean Yaleman was willing to take the risk of losing his reputation to keep Eli Wayne by his side. Although he was rather overbearing, at least Eli could still be her true self in front of him. In other words, it meant that he really doted on Eli. Eli might nev
Eli Wayne was about to depart for France and Natalie Wheeler went to see her off. Eli held Natalie's hand tightly and said reluctantly, "Stella, please don't bear your troubles alone. You would feel better if you share your problems with others. Since I'm not around, you can write it in a letter and pretend that you are telling me. Then, you will feel much better." Natalie nodded, "Okay." Eli's eyes turned red. She sniffled and said in a choked voice, "I'll miss you, don't forget me. Let's be friends again in our next life." Seeing Eli cry, Natalie's tears flowed down in an instant. She nodded, wiped Eli's tears, and said, "Remember, be cautious no matter what you do. You have to rely on yourself in the outside world. When you are angry, listen to some music and calm down for five minutes before making a decision." "I will. You must inform me once Sean has a new lover. I will come back to see you secretly. I think he will have a new lover soon," Eli said e
"What's the matter?" Natalie Wheeler had a premonition. "Let's meet first," Allen said hesitantly. Natalie sensed that his tone was very heavy, and she was a little anxious, "Since you have brought it up, you do know that I will definitely not be able to fall asleep at night if you don't say it. Just tell me." "I didn't know that my grandmother had investigated you. She found out that you went to a sanatorium to pay your respects to a person who had passed away, and she looked exactly like my grandmother's friend. You seemed very sad in front of the grave. She wanted to know the relationship between you and that dead person," Allen said in a low voice. "She is my mother, and her name is Celine Grace. She grew up in an orphanage, experienced all the sufferings of the world, and got a mental illness that couldn't be cured," Natalie did not hide anything. "Then, what about you? Could it be that you're the descendant of my grandmother's friend?" Allen asked re
"He is suffering from Thalassemia and has been sent abroad for treatment. However, the doctor said that the best method is a marrow transplant. My parents' blood is not suitable, and both Ralph's and my blood are incompatible too." "What about mine?" Natalie's eyes dimmed, "My bone marrow has been transplanted before." "Yours is not suitable either," Jasper Milton looked at her and said. Natalie Wheeler had a feeling of emptiness in her mind, and the sea breeze blew on her face, which made her feel sadder. In her life, the pain had always outweighed her happiness, and bad times had always outnumbered the good times. Nothing good ever happened to her. Could it be that she had done too many evil things in her previous life and karma had come upon her own child? A strange look flashed across Jasper's face, "If we want to save him, we'd better give birth to another child." Natalie looked up at Jasper calmly. Her eyes were too calm and e
It was already 5 p.m. when she returned to shore. It was too late for her to go to the hospital for the check-up. Because of her cold, she still felt a little dizzy. She was preparing to conceive a baby, so she didn't want to take any medication. She drank a lot of warm water and lay in bed all night. She was groggy and confused, breaking out in a cold sweat. At about 4 a.m. the next morning, she woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. She got up to cook some soup then lay back down on the bed to play Dog Town. Time flew and she had played the game for an hour. Her soup was already ready and in 'keep warm' mode. She got up and made some toast. The dog woke up as well. She fed it and squatted in front of the kennel, "Apollo, I have to go out today. You should stay at home." "Woof, woof." The dog barked twice. Natalie smiled lightly, fed it with some dog food and went back to have breakfast. It was only 6 a.m. when she was done with breakfast. She
His room was as simple as usual. There was a bed, two bedside tables, a TV, a hidden wardrobe, and a flower rack beside the window. There was a pot of orchids on the rack, which were elegant and fragrant. Jasper Milton opened the door of the bathroom, with only a bath towel around his waist. He walked out and looked at her coldly, "Do you want me to take off your clothes for you, or you want to do it yourself?" "I'll do it myself," Natalie Wheeler lowered her head, took off her coat and shirt. She was much skinnier than before. It seemed that she weighed even lesser than 45kg now. "If you keep getting skinnier, you will feel like a skeleton when I touch you," he said coldly. He wrapped his arms around her waist, turned around, pressed her against the bed, and looked at her. Natalie lowered her eyes and did not look at him. Jasper gritted her teeth, "This really isn't fun." Jasper sat on the bed. Feeling a little cold, Natalie wrapped hers
Natalie's heart sank, "What happened?" "Someone tried to kidnap your friend just now. There was a gunfight. Your friend's mother died in order to save your friend," Allen said in a low voice. "What?" Natalie's head was buzzing and her nerves were numb. She could not believe that this was happening. In a panic, she tried to confirm again, "Did you just say that Eli's mother is dead?" "I'm so sorry. I wasn't able to do what I had promised you. There were ten of them, all of whom were top-ranked mercenaries from abroad. My men killed nine of them, and one of them committed suicide," Allen explained. Natalie Wheeler was silent. Her heart could not bear the burden. How could Eli provoke these mercenaries? How did these mercenaries know where Eli was? The only explanation was that the news was spread from Sean Yaleman. Natalie hung up the phone directly, her eyes red. She then called Sean. Sean did not answer the call. She clenched
Jasper Milton stared at her, "So, you drove me away just because you were afraid that you would pull me down?" "Isn't that the truth? When I jumped into the sea, I didn't think about surviving. Eli sacrificed herself to save me, and then I eventually caused her mother's death. If I were to stay with you, things might change again. In order to help me save Eli, you would offend Sean, and he would take you on as his opponent. Sean is cruel and merciless and his means are extremely tricky. You are just a businessman now, even if you had your father to back you up, you might not be able to fight against him. And Frederick, he is a freak. If he knows that I am Stella, he may frame you again. It's not because he loves me very much, but because he just couldn't accept rejection," Natalie Wheeler analyzed and calmed down gradually. She seemed to have said something that she shouldn't have said. Her emotions were getting the better of her. She should have let Jaspe
