Third person POV:

Today, Maria was mentally exhausted. She had never felt so tired in her life.

When she returned home, she kicked her slippers off and collapsed on the bed.

Charles walked in and saw her lying on the bed in various positions. He threw his suit jacket onto the sofa, took his pajamas and went into the bathroom.

In no time, he came out, wearing pajamas with a slightly open collar, revealing his enticing collarbone and well-defined chest muscles.

Even if Maria couldn’t see the lower part, she could imagine his unbelievably perfect figure.

No! She shook her head slightly.

Maria sat up from the bed, looking at Charles walking towards the bedside. She nervously asked, “You’re sleeping here?”

Charles glanced at her sideways. “If not, where will I sleep?”

Maria stared at him shoc

    God!

Where is he?”Sam was scared and sweating profusely. They had agreed on 10 pm with Summer. Why hadn’t she arrived yet?Could she have gone to borrow a car at the last minute?He walked up and smiled, nodding and bowing, “Young Master Warren, there are still a few minutes left. Please wait a little bit longer…”“Fu@k!”Young Master Warren jumped off the car and kicked Sam’s leg, “Make me wait for him? Such a big air he put on. Is he trying to get on my nerves?”Sam was forced to take several steps back from the kick and barely ma

Your provocation is useless to me! Don’t try to struggle. Be my girl. I can give you a lot of whatever you want.”After saying this, he waved his hand towards his men. Those men, looking like wolves seeing a little white rabbit, smirked and walked towards Maria.Even in this situation, Maria did not show any panic on her face. She looked at Young Ma

Charles grabbed Maria’s hand and rushed into the bathroom, then pushed her in.“Remove it!”Maria looked at her face in the mirror. She thought that Charles probably did not like the look. After all, Mia had always been elegant and noble, while she dressed like a thug, which was unacceptable in Charles' eyes.“Okay.”Maria picked up the makeup remover and slowly removed her makeup. After washing her face, she turned around and looked at Charles without any makeup, “I’m done washing.”Charles gritted his teeth fiercely. Immediately, he grabbed Maria’s hand, placing it under the faucet and rinsed it with water. He then applied hand soap and continued to wash Maria’s hands repeatedly.Maria stared at him blankly because she realized that Charles was washing the spot where Young Master Warren had grabbed her.He made her wash it.

    This Car Cost At least 1million Dollars, right?**************************Looking at her proud face, Charles was amused, “So, who is living with me?”Maria was struck dumb, unable to respond.It was true. No matter who everyone knew as Charles' wife, it was her who was living with him.She bit her lips in frustration and suddenly felt less confident.Even if she was coerced, it was her name listed on the marriage certificate with Charles.Maria was furious, her cheeks ballooning like a puffer fish. Charles reached out and forcefully pinched her puffed- up face with his slender fingers, “So, Maria, you should only feel natural when spending my money.”“Ouch…”Maria yelped in pain. She raised her hand to slap his hands away. Then she gently rubbed her own sore cheeks, glancing at him from the corner of her eye.Who hated money?He voluntarily gave it to her. She did not steal it or snatch it. And he seemed unhappy when she rejected his money.“Fine.”Maria tightly grasped the credit ca

She held his hand tightly as if she wanted to give him her strength.Even when they got into their own car, Charles didn't say a word. He just gently rested his head on Maria’s shoulder, like an injured child.**********Back at the villa, Maria fetched a bottle of red wine, opened it, and took out two glasses. She tilted her head at Charles."Let's go and drink in the room."She smiled and raised the wine bottle in her hand. Charles noticed and finally relaxed the corners of his tightly pressed lips.He stood up and laughed softly, "How is one bottle enough? You are never drunk after a thousand cups."Maria looked at him speechlessly, seeing him take out two more bottles of red wine. She felt like things wer

    David and Hamya exchanged glances as they heard this. It was as if they had made a decision. They immediately said in unison, "We want to go too!""Huh?"Charles looked at them with confusion.David patted his stomach and smiled at Charles, "Young Master Smith, I wonder if your company is in need of pianists? What do you think of me?"Hamya chuckled and nodded, "I think I can do it too. Young Master Smith, please consider signing both of us. We don't ask for much, just a chance to perform in top music halls."David was worried that Charles would disagree, so he put on an even more sincere smile. "Ah yeah, haha... We just feel that Patrick is not enough on his own. With Hamya and I joining, after all, we have better qualifications than him. When the three great piano masters embark on anglobal tour together, and with Maria and Linda, it will be twice as successful.""Exactly!"Hamya laughed happily, "Young Master Smith, a single concert takes too long, Patrick won't be able to handle i

    The two of them walked onto the stage and sat down at the piano. Maria raised her head and exchanged a glance with Linda, who placed her hands on the keys.The young pianists were curious about what music Maria and Linda would play. This was the second round of the training camp's open competition, and they usually wouldn't get to hear it.Suddenly, the piano played a melancholic melody, carrying a touch of elegance in the air, instantly striking at people's hearts!"This is..."Some couldn't remain calm instantly. "Butterfly Lovers?!""Is that possible? Butterfly Lovers arranged as a piano piece?""Yes, everyone knows that Butterfly Lovers is best played on the guqin, or the zheng would also work. It's my first time hearing it played on the piano.""Hey, no, this version of Butterfly Lovers has been adapted for piano. It suits the instrument perfectly while still preserving the essence of the original piece. It's absolutely refreshing!"After a few seconds of discussion, an unexpect

    Two days later, Maria and Linda arrive at the venue of the exchange conference in their finest attire.They hand over their invitation cards and wait for the security guard to check them.Suddenly, a mocking voice comes from beside them, "Oh oh, who is this? Linda!? Am I mistaken?"The one speaking is Linda manager, and standing next to her is the pianist signed by Linda economic company."Aria, you're not mistaken, isn't that Linda herself?"Hearing their voices, Linda's face darkens. She turns her head and glares at them, "Aria, your eyesight is really not good, you can't even recognize me. You should go to the hospital to have your eyes checked."Aria originally wanted to embarrass Linda, but she didn't expect her to retort so sharply. She immediately gets furious."Linda, the company didn't give you an invitation card. Tell me, where did you steal it from?""Hehe..."Linda raises her chin triumphantly, holding Maria's arm. "Do I need the company to give me one? Just look at who's

    At this moment, Maria had already packed up and left the hotel with Charles, Linda, Andrew, and others.On the way to the airport, Linda still couldn't understand and turned back to Maria, "Ria, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved, we can still stay in the training camp, right?"Of course, Maria knew that if she returned to the training camp now, everyone would treat her like a deity.Just kidding, being able to decide the life and death of their teacher, they would definitely flatter and serve Maria obediently.Maria shook her head, "Actually, I have already achieved my goal. Linda, if you want to go back, you can go back, no need to accompany me.""Hey!"Linda casually waved her hand, "Without you here, why should I go back? Besides, I have hugged your thigh, and you have hugged Master Smith's thigh. Am I still afraid of not being able to reach the pinnacle of the international piano world?"She said it so casually, as if she was joking. But Maria could tell that she still f

    Maria, so smart, why couldn't she understand what they meant?She smiled and turned to shout inside the house, "Honey, it turns out they are looking for you." Charles was inside, and he had heard everything at the door clearly. The girls had looked down on him before and said he was weak, but now they all came to beg him with a straight face. It was really funny.He remained silent for a while before saying, "Ria, in our home, I make the major decisions and you make the minor ones. But in my eyes, besides you, nothing else is a major matter. So, you make the decisions."The girls outside, "..."Didn't that mean that Maria would be in charge of everything in the house?They felt a toothache and couldn't believe they were caught off guard by this unexpected situation.Maria shrugged and looked at them again.Originally, they came to apologize to Maria as a pretense, hoping that she would persuade Charles, but now, the initiative was completely in her hands, and they had to lower their

Can you forgive me? Please...""Lucy, your intentions were truly wicked. You even used Rivata as a weapon. Honestly, I admire you for that."Even while saying this, Maria's expression remained calm, her tone as if chatting with a close friend."You, alone, have bewitched the hearts of all the girls in the training camp. You treated others as pawns to sacrifice for your own gain. Wasn't your goal to drive me out of the camp? Congratulations, you achieved your goal. You should be happy, so why are you crying?"When Maria said this, the other girls immediately began pondering.After thinkin
