In that year, Felicia was the one who appeared to be so enchanting, which led to such thoughts.The uniformed servers moved busily among the guests, carrying drinks and serving wine, attending to their needs.Lalisa observed carefully and noticed that the uniforms of the servers differed from before. The female servers didn’t have hairpins; instead, each of their dresses had embroidered numbers.“You think that a party like this, held so many times, wouldn’t change, but it has already changed,” Louis’s voice echoed in her ear.Indeed.That type of hairpin had long gone out of fashion, and this party was all about trends and opulence. Why would they still use the same type of hairpin as before? They must have changed the uniforms of the servers.In that case, this hairpin could only belong to her.It was eerie.“So, do you have anything else to say?” Louis looked at her, waiting for her next words.He also wanted to see if she could argue or explain anything.“I don’t know,” Lalisa sho
“...” Louis looked at her silently for two seconds. “What’s so interesting about this game?”Guessing cards, for luck, he found it difficult to lose to her.Lalisa was determined to play this way. “Let’s play this one. I’m not familiar with the others, and this is the simplest one. No need for any skills. You can’t give in to me either.”Fairness was crucial on the felt table.Louis gazed deeply into her eyes and nodded. “I agree. Deal the cards.”The servant stepped forward, shuffled the deck in his hand, and then randomly drew a card and placed it on the felt table. “Now both of you can place your bets.”Placing the gambling chipsLalisa looked at the pile of gambling chips in her hand and then casually placed a card with the number “500” on the table. However, Louis pushed all the gambling chips to the front, pushing the betting cards into the ‘betting card area.’“Red.”Louis said, his eyes glaring intently at the card.“In that case, I’ll choose black,” Lalisa replied.The servan
People cheered, and even the singer on stage switched to a romantic ballad. At this moment, the atmosphere turned sweet, as if small pink hearts were scattered in the air, creating a refreshing ambiance.Lalisa looked at Louis and smiled gently. She stood up from her seat and walked over to Louis.Louis remained seated, his demeanor calm, and his deep gaze made it impossible to guess his thoughts.“Darling, thank you for bringing me so much joy. I’m thrilled,” Lalisa said with a smile, gently leaning down to give him a kiss on the cheek, and Louis’s thin lips curved slightly.The audience applauded and cheered, and their showmanship was no less than that of ordinary people.After the kiss, Lalisa and Louis left the lively place. When they walked outside, they realized that more than half of the guests had gathered there. The dance floor and the bar on the other side were now empty.Lalisa held Louis’s arm and walked outside. The ship was sailing on the sea; the sea was calm, and seabi
Lalisa looked at Bristal Forger in surprise, feeling Louis standing tall beside her, and Louis asked, “When was that?”“When was it?” Bristal Forger stood there, thinking for a moment, furrowing his brows as he tried to recall. “I can’t remember the exact number of years, but it must have been the last time. Yes, I didn’t attend the event.”That wasn’t the wine party seven years ago, was it?“My wife was indeed on the ship,” Louis said coldly.“I know. I had a few words with Mrs. Anderson, but she paid little attention to me; she just smiled at me and left,” Bristal Forger said.“…”Lalisa was shocked to the core. She scrutinized Bristal Forger carefully from head to toe, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t recognize even a hint of familiarity.How could this be happening? How could her memory be worse than that of an old man? He even remembered her smiling at him, and yet she had forgotten everything.This was beyond embarrassing.Every time she stepped onto this ship, it
“Speak up.”Louis threatened the person without speaking.“...”McKay looked up at Louis and said, “Three months, Young Master.”Wanting to question everyone who had been on that ship again was truly a monumental task.“One month,” Louis stated coldly. “I can’t wait that long. Increase the speed, and within one month, I want to know what happened seven years ago, down to the last detail, on that New Year’s Eve. Do you hear me?”“Yes, Young Master.”McKay and the bodyguards responded at the same time, but they didn't understand why Louis wanted to investigate again.“Leave.”After assigning the tasks, Louis waved his hand, his face cold, dismissing them. Those who remained in the room watched as he did, his eyes growing deeper with each passing day, and his lips curled up slowly.This old story was becoming increasingly interesting.The truth had been concealed for seven years, but he was determined to uncover it.Louis chuckled to himself, noting that Lalisa was still sitting there, d
“Only now can he continue to harass you,” Lalisa remarked.“You’re a pervert,” she added.“If I had missed you that time, I don’t know what Louis’ life would be like now, but one thing is certain, he wouldn’t like it,” Louis said in a serious tone.Ah, why did the conversation suddenly turn sentimental?Lalisa blushed under his gaze, and her heart pounded faster with each passing moment. She looked at him, and her gaze gradually softened. “You don’t know what life without me would be like, so how can you judge whether or not you’d like it?”Louis sat there, a ray of light shining perfectly from the window onto his handsome face.He stopped at her and said, “Having you, Lalisa, is the life that Louis likes the most.”His voice was extremely seductive, each word etching into her heart like a stroke of a pen.“...”Lalisa looked at him, suddenly remembering the words of the old man Bristal Forger. It turns out that the person who truly shines is the one who...Right now, Louis is the one
Lalisa chuckled lightly and said, “Well, objectively speaking, you are a bit more mature than Ben. I trust your thoughts are also more mature than a child’s, so I prioritize listening to you.”“…”Christopher sat there with his small, composed face, looking nothing like a child should. The sun’s rays fell on him, and he curved his lips slightly, a faint smile forming.“Play with them. I don’t think Bob is a bad kid. He’s just lacking love. If he had a friend, his personality wouldn’t be so dark.” Lalisa said.Christopher wasn’t one to enjoy playing like that, but after hearing what Lalisa said, he wanted to listen to her. So, he obediently stood up and walked over to join Ben and the others.Seeing his older brother arrive, Ben finally felt like he had an audience. He immediately began playing more enthusiastically with the group.“All three of you can play, but don’t be too rough. Bob can’t move around too much, and he needs rest,” Lalisa said as she watched them.Lalisa sat there, s
His intention wasn’t like that.Lalisa walked out of Bob’s room, stacked the books into a drawer, and Bob was adapting more and more each day. It might be sad when Felicia came to take him away in the future.She saw McKay walking towards them from far away, taking off his coat, and drinking a glass of water in one gulp.“Foster father, you’re back,” Lalisa greeted happily, but a deep voice reached her ears, “You’re back, too, but I can’t see you in my eyes.”Lalisa tilted her head and saw Louis emerging from behind a column, his black eyes looking at her, lips pursed, and his hands in his coat pockets.“You’re back as well,” Lalisa exclaimed excitedly, running towards him. “I made apple soup for you.”“That will do for now.”Seeing that he had her full attention, Louis nodded condescendingly. Lalisa turned to go into the kitchen, but Louis stopped her. “Let the servants handle those things. Your task is to follow me.”Lalisa was pulled back by Louis and seated on the living room chai
Lalisa looked at him bewildered, unable to say a word.“You are the woman who drugged me. I can’t touch you. You, this kind of woman, don’t know how to use the same tricks and crawl into the beds of so many men. You must be punished.” Punish." Louis said, expressing his inner feelings that year, “I can’t see you again, absolutely not.”“....”Lalisa was so surprised that she couldn’t speak. To put it that way, the first time Louis saw her in the photo, he was... already in love?Is there really such a thing as true love in this world?“Three years later, McKay doubted the possibility of you carrying my child. This photo once again appeared in front of me, you once again lay in front of me, and that time, I was not affected. Effects of the medicine, but the feeling is still as strong.” Louis said, “I didn’t even look and rushed forward because that woman was you, understand?”Amid the sound of fireworks filling the sky, Louis stood behind Lalisa, slowly bowing his head to rest on her s
“Mrs. Anderson, there are always all kinds of scandals in this world. You can’t make everyone understand the feelings you’ve been through, so don’t worry about them. Living your own happy life is important Best.”“Lady Anderson, just enjoy yourself.”“People who criticize you and look down on you cannot affect your life or your wishes for happiness.”“There is Mr. Anderson loves you like that, so no one else matters.”Each person was praised or blessed, then quietly retreated to the side, watching everyone automatically give way. Lalisa also followed suit and walked forward, slightly surprised and bowed to them and smiled, “Thank you, thank you, I know, wish everyone happiness.”Lalisa was a little skeptical, but vaguely understood a little. She continued to move forward.Everyone gives way.His eyes widened, only to see Louis standing at the front of the boat, leaning against it, showing a pose that he claimed was handsome but in fact it was one hand in his pocket, fireworks blooming
Louis said.Lalisa looked towards the closed door, chuckling bitterly. She raised her eyes to look at Louis and said, “Finally, now you know what happened.”“You don’t seem happy,” Louis stated.“So, should I be happy?” Lalisa replied candidly. She turned and walked ahead, clasping her hands behind her back, fingers intertwined. “I think the events of seven years ago, whether it’s me, you, Alana, or even Felicia, were all tragedies.”Tragedies like these should never be repeated.If she had known that she wouldn’t say anything if time could be reversed, she would have understood the whole situation. Going through those circumstances once again gave her a distinct feeling.“A tragedy?” Louis followed her, his dark eyes not showing any hint of happiness as he stared at her. “This isn’t a tragedy! It’s a comedy!”“Why do you say it’s a comedy?” Lalisa asked.“Seven years ago, it was you on the bed with me; that’s the comedy!” Louis said as if he were slashing at the ground with a knife.
What is this?A coincidence? Unavoidable misunderstanding?Leon shook his head. “No, it can’t be, Louis. I don’t know Alana, and he’s a stubborn guy. He wouldn’t jump to conclusions based solely on someone’s back; he would definitely ask for clarification.”He refused to accept that explanation.“I’ll give you another possibility,” Louis said.“What is it?” Leon asked.Louis stood there, slowly turning to face Lalisa, using his body to block her view, and then slowly moved aside to reveal half of her face.Leon stood near the door, looking back, and he understood what Louis meant. He was so shocked that he nearly fell to the ground.Under the dim light, Lalisa revealed half of her face, and if that wasn’t Alana, then who could it be?“I don’t know,” Lalisa said as she looked at Leon’s reaction, unable to resist asking. Louis lowered his gaze and gently brushed his fingers across her face. “Lalisa, if you were on the street and saw someone who looked exactly like you, how would you fee
Suddenly, Louis pulled her back again. “Come back to me!” Come back to me quickly!”“Fuck off!”“Come back!”“Fuck off!”“Come back!”Just like that, Lalisa was pushed out and dragged back by him. Lalisa quickly dodged his demon claws and sat down on the ground. She looked at Louis, who was acting excitedly, caught an opportunity. Women in a coma like that?“I just thought you were a wicked woman who drugged me. Falling in love is a very normal thing.”Louis sat on the bed and said.“Right? Why do I feel like if you use this method, the chance of you getting out of the room alive is only five percent?” Lalisa sat there and said.Go away, go back, go back, go away.If that night was really like this, it would not be easy for her to live until today.“If it wasn’t like that, why did you forget this room?” Louis walked barefoot in front of her, bent down and removed the hairpin from her head.Lalisa looked at Louis, stunned for two seconds, then her whole body was pressed under Louis’s b
Lalisa looked at her, not knowing what to say. The determination in her eyes gradually faded. “Felicia, this is the first time you’ve spoken honestly to me.”Every time she had been deceit and manipulation, and now there was nothing left to deceive.Felicia tilted her head, her eyes even redder, and she said forcefully, “Lalisa, if I had changed the target at the beginning, we wouldn’t be in this situation today.”It was because of Louis, Louis’s fantasies, their entanglement, and his relentless pursuit that had led to the current situation.“Unfortunately, there are no ‘ifs’ in this world.” Lalisa found it somewhat ironic and teased, “Let’s go. Isn’t it time to take me to Louis’s room?”Felicia wiped away her tears and walked away.Lalisa followed behind her, thinking that perhaps seven years ago, she had been led by Felicia.“You left the two of us unconscious together. Nothing might have happened!” Lalisa suddenly thought of this and wondered what Felicia had been thinking.Felicia
It was late at night, and the tourist ship sailed on the sea at night. In the hospital room, several servants carried large and small trunks into the room.On the hospital bed, Louis was still unconscious, his face pale, his eyes closed, long eyelashes resting gently, and his lips slightly pursed.Ben sat on the bed, occasionally studying the TV with his hand to check Louis’s breathing. He would sometimes lie down on Louis’s body, mumbling, “Dad, wake up quickly. Ben will draw the most beautiful picture for Dad.”“Ben loves Dad and Mom. I want to play with Dad.”“I’m usually thrilled when I don’t have to go to school, but Dad is unconscious, and I’m not happy without going to school.”“When will Dad wake up? Can we go home when he does? Dad, I’m tired.”Ben muttered.The group of servants placed the trunks on the ground and looked at Christopher standing beside them. “Young Master, Housekeeper McKay told us to bring all the items from the young master’s desk here. He said you wanted t
“What are you doing?”Lalisa asked in suspicion, and the next second, the door in front of her closed.Felicia used a bolt to secure the door on a system, to the top, clicking a few times, locking the square restroom.Had Felicia used this method before to confine her, preventing her from leaving? Why would she lock her up when she was supposed to wait for Owen Wilson?Lalisa quickly got up, pushed the door open, and suddenly heard a sinister voice. “What’s going on? Where is everyone? Hurry; I can’t wait.”Lalisa cracked the door open and saw an elderly man in his seventies, dressed neatly with a hat, standing beside Felicia. He was struggling to close the door properly and had a fearful expression, his face trembling.Owen Wilson.This old man was also invited.Seven years ago, Jinx wanted Felicia to make her faint, but then Owen Wilson completely ruined her innocence.“Owen Wilson, what’s the rush?” Felicia said with a smile, glancing at Lalisa. She said, “I haven’t found a suitabl
“Because she lowered her head, I could tell right away that she’s not happy,” the man said, shaking the wineglass in his hand and glancing in another direction. “Yeah.”In an instant, Lalisa was shaken to her core. She turned stiffly and saw a beautiful figure in a moonlit, classical evening gown that extended to the floor. Her blonde hair cascaded down, and in the sea of cruise lights, she shone the brightest.It was him.Until now, she had never thought she would see him again.“...”Lalisa stood there, dumbfounded, staring at that figure as if something accompanied her. She immediately walked forward, reaching out to tap the person on the shoulder. “Alana.”Alana, her elder sister.Are you okay?The person in front of her didn’t turn around. In that fleeting moment, Lalisa became incredibly stubborn. She even waited, as if it were seven years ago.The person in front of her pushed her hand away and continued walking forward.“Alana, don’t go! I’m your sister!”Lalisa rushed forward
