"In my opinion, my brother is biased," Sylvia said as she twirled around Elaine, who was already dressed up, in the bride's dressing room.Elaine felt a bit nervous but breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Sylvia and said, "You're joking, right?""But I'm not jealous of you at all. After all the hardships you've been through, it's only right that he pampers you. I'm protective of you too, so remember, if that jerk Aaron dares to mistreat you, be sure to tell me. I'll break his legs!" Sylvia said with a reassuring smile."Don't worry, I'll take care of myself," Elaine replied with a smile.Sylvia smiled back and then carefully adjusted Elaine's wedding gown. "By the way, what if Aaron really comes out in a wheelchair?"Elaine pursed her lips, making sure her lipstick was just right. Satisfied, she replied, "If he uses a wheelchair, so be it. It's not a big deal."As they were talking, Renee knocked on the door and entered. She was wearing a beautiful rose-red gown today, with delic
The wedding was in progress. Elaine and Aaron stood on the stage, receiving enthusiastic applause from the audience.Elaine's emotions had calmed down by now, but nervousness was inevitable. Her palms holding the bouquet were sweaty, and she glanced at Aaron beside her. Though he stood tall and handsome, the smile on his lips gradually faded, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead. His leg must be hurting. She worriedly looked at him, but Aaron just smiled at her and whispered, "I'm okay."Next, the priest began to recite the vows. "Dear friends and family, we are gathered here today to witness the union of this couple in holy matrimony. Marriage is a sacred covenant, a commitment between two people in love and loyalty. Now, I ask Aaron Brown and Elaine Smith to stand together and declare their wedding vows.""Aaron Brown, do you willingly accept Elaine Smith as your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to love, cherish, honor, and respect her, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and
Sylvia was feeling quite bored at home. Elaine and Aaron had flown overseas for their honeymoon right after the wedding. She decided to call Renee, saying, "Renee, do you have any plans for tonight? How about coming over to my place for dinner? I miss you."Renee had just finished her classes and was heading to her office. She hesitated for a moment when she received the call, fully aware of Sylvia's intentions."Renee," Nahum stood by the office door, his gaze soft as he looked at her.Renee was taken aback. Sylvia didn't know what was happening and continued, "Renee, just come over. The housekeeper has already gone shopping for groceries.""I'll call you back in a while," Renee replied as she ended the call, placing her phone in her bag. She looked at Nahum and smiled, saying, "Senior."Nahum smiled as well. Renee walked over, unlocked her office door with her keys, and said, "Come in if you want to talk."Nahum watched her from behind. After all these years, she was still the same,
Renee herself didn't know why she had called out Mason's name. It seemed that in this kind of situation, he was the first person who came to her mind.However, it was precisely Mason's name that triggered something in Nahum. He seemed like a completely different person, rough and aggressive. He forcefully grasped Renee's chin, then once again kissed her lips fiercely, biting hard.Renee struggled with all her might, but her efforts were in vain. Tears of humiliation welled up in her eyes.Crystal-clear tears rolled down her cheeks, landing on her lips. Nahum tasted the bitterness, and his body stiffened. The wild, burning redness in his eyes gradually faded as he looked at the disheveled woman he had pressed down. His face turned pale, and he took several steps back in quick succession.Just at that moment, the door burst open, and Mason appeared in the doorway. His sharp gaze scanned the private room, and when he spotted Renee sitting disheveled on the couch, his brows furrowed sharp
After coming out of the bathroom, Aaron casually flopped onto the bed, pinning Elaine beneath him. Elaine closed her eyes, trying to make herself less nervous.Seeing her like this, Aaron, with a sly smile, kissed her lips, slowly deepening the kiss. Elaine gripped the bedsheet tightly, her body becoming even tenser."Don't be afraid, relax," Aaron whispered sensually into her ear.However, Elaine couldn't relax at all. She was extremely nervous and felt as if each second was agonizing. Intimacy between a man and a woman was unfamiliar to her, and the psychological pressure she was under made it even more challenging. Aaron's Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he pressed his lips firmly against hers, no longer with gentle kisses but deep, passionate ones, as if he wanted to devour her.Elaine endured it passively, and as his hands began to explore her body, moving downward... soon, the tassels of the bedsheet hanging down rhythmically swayed left and right.Elaine never mustered the c
Inside the car, Nahum appeared focused on driving, but his gaze kept shifting towards the woman beside him. Since the incident that day, no matter how much he apologized, Renee refused to see him or answer his calls. These past few days had been restless for him. That's when he came up with the idea to meet Mason and had their other classmates arrange for Renee to be present. He knew Mason's personality well and understood that Mason wouldn't say anything good about him. His goal was for Renee to hear it, leading her to lose all hope in him.Now that his objective had been achieved, he couldn't be happier. However, Renee was sitting right next to him, so he had to keep his emotions in check.Quickly concealing his emotions, he softened his voice and said, "You heard what he said, right? He never considered you a priority, Renee. Forget about him!"Renee remained silent.Nahum became a bit anxious. "What's wrong? Can it be that you still can't forget about him?""Stop the car!" Renee p
It had been a whole month since the wedding, and Elaine and Aaron had finally returned. Stepping onto familiar soil once again, Elaine felt a small surge of excitement because another new journey in life was about to begin.Luke came to pick them up at the airport. Their grandfather wanted them to return to the old estate, where a family feast had been prepared, awaiting their arrival. Since it was a family banquet, Lionel would undoubtedly be present.Thinking about this, Aaron wrapped his arm around Elaine's shoulder and asked in a soft voice, "Are you okay with this?"Elaine smiled and replied, "Of course!"Aaron held her hand and said, "Let's go!"Aaron was absolutely right; since it was a family banquet, every family member would be present. Ralph Brown was seated at the head of the table, with Trevor, Mavis, and Lionel on his left, and Vincent and Lilian on his right. Both families didn't particularly like each other.Aaron and Elaine entered together, and Ralph Brown immediatel
In the yard, Ralph Brown suddenly let out a long sigh.Elaine was startled, "Grandfather, what's wrong?"Ralph Brown turned to look at her and said, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted that the first grandson inherit the company, those two brothers wouldn't be...""Grandfather, do you know something?" Elaine asked cautiously.Ralph Brown sighed in helplessness, "Lionel... actually wanted to kill both of you."Elaine was shocked. She couldn't believe that Ralph Brown knew everything. She continued to ask, "If you knew, why didn't you stop him? Now he's become the CEO, what about Aaron?"Ralph Brown held her hand and said, "Aaron is lucky to have married you."Elaine smiled but didn't say anything.Ralph Brown seemed not to care, and he patted her hand firmly, "You may not understand what I'm saying right now, but it's okay. You'll understand in the future. Aaron is a good boy. If he ever does something wrong, just tell me, and I'll handle it for you."Elaine vaguely felt that Ralp
