Perhaps Elaine's words had indeed hurt Calvin. When they came out of the cinema, Calvin's expression was not good, and he turned his head to look at a movie poster on the wall without saying a word.Elaine also felt uneasy, but knowing that her attitude might hurt this man, she had to steel herself. "Thanks for today, but I have something to do. I'll be leaving now!"Calvin looked at her but remained silent."Well, goodbye!" Elaine once again met his profound gaze and solemnly repeated, "Calvin, thank you!"Understanding that she was bidding farewell, Calvin felt a sense of discomfort. He struggled to find words to say but failed to speak. He could only watch her figure leaving, his hand hanging in mid-air helplessly...Elaine didn't dare to look back, biting her lip firmly, walking away with great determination.At this moment, she even thought, "If it weren't for that frantic night, and if I hadn't gotten pregnant with Aaron's child, how nice it would be! At least now, I could whole
Tatum Smith was also a doctor with a strong and independent personality. After graduating from medical school, he stayed in the Smith family hospital for less than three years. However, when the government urgently recruited a medical team to Africa, he packed his bags and left. He spent five years in Africa and later joined the Doctors Without Borders organization, providing medical aid around the world. He didn't return home for several years, and now seeing Elaine, he felt deeply guilty.Tatum walked into the living room and glanced at Elaine before speaking, "Mason told me you want to go to Paris?""Yes," Elaine nodded and asked, "What do you think?""Going to Paris is a good idea," Tatum said, "If you go to Paris, I will apply to be transferred to the Paris office and accompany you there.""Really?" Elaine felt delighted.Seeing the joy quickly rising in her eyes, Tatum felt even more guilty. He nodded quickly, "Of course.""Great, then let's go to Paris together. With you around
As the clock neared six, Sarah, accompanied by Cathy, finally arrived at the agreed-upon restaurant. Sarah's face was filled with anxiety as she complained, "It's all because of your bad idea to leave them alone together. What if something happens?""You're just too naive!" Cathy grabbed her arm. "You always listen to whatever Aaron says and get deceived by him without even realizing it. He said it has nothing to do with Elaine, and you believed him. Sometimes you have to try things out to know if they're true or not!"Sarah glared at her. "Alright, alright. Let's just go in.""You really care about them," Cathy teased, and from the corner of her eye, she made a subtle gesture to a nearby waiter. The waiter nodded discreetly and then walked away. Cathy smiled brightly and caught up with Sarah. "Let's go."Sarah's mind was entirely preoccupied with the two people being alone together, and she didn't notice Cathy's subtle action. The two of them hurriedly walked towards the private room
The two bid farewell like old friends. Elaine hung up the phone first, but Aaron still held onto his phone, listening to the rhythmic beeping. His brows slowly furrowed, feeling a kind of inexplicable disappointment."Hey," a person approached from behind and pushed him suddenly.Aaron frowned unhappily and turned to see Matt's smiling face. He threw a punch at Matt's chest. "What are you looking at?""I have to say," Matt responded casually, still wearing a playful smile, "you can endure a lot. Taking such a heavy dose of medication, aren't you afraid it'll damage you and affect your happiness for the rest of your life?"Aaron's face changed suddenly. Although it was the effect of the drugs, with his body heating up and his mind racing, he couldn't help but recall the wonderful feeling of holding a beautiful woman in his arms. He had some difficulty controlling the emotions surging within him."Look," Matt saw it all and teased him even more, "Are you moved?""Get lost!" Aaron snappe
When a woman makes an advance...Sarah's somewhat shy kisses landed on Aaron's face—his eyes, nose, cheeks, forehead—and finally returned to his lips."Aaron," her voice carried a seductive allure.Aaron gazed at her, not responding, as a rising anger quietly surged within him."I..." Sarah was both flustered and anxious. She didn't know why, but she had a growing feeling of unease. She felt as if something significant would happen after tonight.That's why she was in such a hurry to become Aaron's woman tonight. Only then would she feel at ease. Once this idea took root in her mind, she felt as if she were possessed, driven to do something crazy.Thinking of what Teddy had done to her before, her fingers trembled. But finally, she gritted her teeth and, while kissing Aaron's lowered face, her right hand started to explore his body.Aaron was taken aback, suddenly opening his eyes. He looked at the woman beneath him, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. How could a rich young lady who had
As Elaine had already decided to go abroad, she had almost finished packing her luggage. Renee looked at the suitcase placed in the corner and silently sat down on the sofa. She had actually arrived at the Smiths' house half an hour ago, but seeing Elaine's calm demeanor now, she wasn't sure if she should tell her the truth."Renee, have some orange juice," Elaine offered her a glass.Renee took a sip and held the glass in her hand, her fingers tightening slightly.Elaine noticed her uneasiness and felt her heart start to race. She pulled up a chair next to Renee and casually changed the topic, "I've decided to go to Paris and live with my father. It should be nice.""Is that so?" Renee responded softly, the words on the tip of her tongue swallowed back. She quietly picked up the glass again and drank half of the orange juice. "Paris is great. I have a classmate there; I can introduce you to her.""Okay," Elaine could sense that Renee had something on her mind and just gave a simple r
Downstairs was in chaos. With Mason's intervention, the front desk could only report to higher-ups. Upon learning of the situation, Jason immediately informed Aaron.Aaron left the meeting room. Behind him, some shareholders grumbled as he exited before the meeting had finished. "He doesn't even consider us. What's the point of having this meeting? Let's end it, disperse!"Many shareholders left in anger, except for Lionel. He leaned back casually in his chair, a faint smile playing on his lips. He watched the commotion unfold, amused. "Look at the mess this has become. Let's see how Aaron handles this!"...Aaron took the private elevator to the ground floor. As he stepped out of the elevator, he was met with a shocking scene. Three security guards had Mason surrounded. On the other side, several female employees were struggling with Elaine. In the midst of the tussle, Elaine's white T-shirt was torn and barely covered her chest.His expression immediately changed. He shouted, "Back
The gray sky seemed to have been torn open, releasing a torrential downpour. Elaine stumbled out of Aaron Group, lost in thought. The sky flashed with lightning and thunder rumbled, echoing the thunderclap that had just exploded in her mind. It wasn't Aaron, it wasn't him, it couldn't be...She suddenly wanted to laugh, and as she laughed, tears streamed down her face. As she walked, she wiped away the tears, her lips curling into a wider smile. She felt like a fool, crying and laughing like this!"Wait!" Aaron chased after her. The rain was pouring heavily, and that foolish woman had dashed into the rain without an umbrella. He had never encountered such a stubborn woman!The rain was too heavy, and Elaine didn't hear anyone calling after her. She wiped the rain from her eyes and hastened her steps toward her car. She needed to calm down and think things through. Her shoulder was suddenly grabbed."Get over here!"Elaine didn't even have a chance to turn around before she was yanked
