Louis drank several cups in a row, his handsome face showing a hint of arrogance towards her outstanding talent."How would you rate my female cook's skills?" Louis looked at the instructors, his eyes high and full of confidence.The instructors exchanged glances, unsure how to respond to Louis's arrogance. One of the teaching instructors said, "90."Louis frowned."Maximum score is 100," the instructor quickly corrected himself, "So, it's acceptable."Only then did Louis raise his eyebrows and tightly hold Lalisa's hand, speaking to the instructors, "From now on, we will come here once a week, and you must teach her all the British delicacies. With her natural talent, two months should be enough, right?""We can do it," facing Louis's arrogance, the teaching instructors had nothing to say."Let's go."Louis switched from pulling her to hugging her and carrying Lalisa in his arms as they left. While walking, he said, "Study well, and when you're done, I'll take you to England."That w
"We should talk about the main issue," Lalisa looked at the concern in her foster mother's eyes, suddenly slightly sarcastic. She pushed her foster mother's hand away and spoke coldly, "I didn't come here to sign anything."The server came and cleaned the table."Lalisa," Tombasta sat down, looking at her with difficulty, bitterness evident on her face, "Your father and I have been arguing for a long time, and he deliberately wants this. He thinks that because you used to be so attached to Jayce, Jayce and Jinx's marriage is not going well, and he wants to expel you from the family.""Wasn't I already expelled from the Grayson family?" Lalisa forced a smile, a hint of bitterness in her eyes, "Several years ago, you already didn't want me to stay in the Grayson family."Expelled. How many times can such a thing happen?"Lalisa.""Now he wants to expel me legally, and it doesn't matter. I'll sign it. I haven't felt like a Grayson family member for a long time anyway," Lalisa said apathe
Lalisa fell silent."Look up at me," Louis scolded, staring at her with annoyance. "You're a grown-up now. No matter who doesn't need you, you can still live on."He didn't like her pitiful appearance.He would prefer if she maintained her cold demeanor as before. At least then she would be angry, not pitiful like now."I once read a phrase in a book," Lalisa's voice suddenly echoed in the car, hoarse from crying."What phrase?""Everyone needs a home because no matter how far and how long you travel, no matter how good or hard your journey is, when you turn back, there will always be solid support waiting for you to rest." Lalisa slowly lifted her head, looking at Louis. Suddenly, she smiled calmly, "I can survive, but I don't have a home."She narrated as if telling a story.From now on, she honestly had no home.Lalisa didn't cry, but her face was covered in tears, her eyes reddened, and she was smiling, a smile that was so moving. Her lower lip was bleeding, bitten hard, making he
Seeing Jayce Sherwood's hesitant attitude, Jinx happily realized she had an opportunity. Like a bit of bird, she nestled up to him and said softly, "It's okay. I need you by my side.""Of course, I'll always be by your side."Jayce Sherwood embraced her, gently patting her back with his slender white hand. His voice remained as tender as before, but his eyes were fixed on the documents in Tombasta's hand.Lalisa had slept deeply throughout the night, and the sun's rays shining through the window woke her up in the luxurious bedroom. She felt soreness in her legs. Last night, she had been played with by Louis and was almost exhausted. Ultimately, she fell asleep completely tired, nestled in his embrace.Lalisa looked to the side, but Louis was no longer in bed.She sat up, reaching out to touch her face. There was a faint scent of bath lotion, but she couldn't remember if she had taken a bath last night.Lalisa tapped her head, trying to recall. She vaguely remembered feeling someone h
His cold black eyes gazed at her as Lalisa exited the car and walked through the wild grass, her delicate feet slowly approaching a dilapidated wall. The sunlight fell upon her face, highlighting her exceptionally fair skin.The farther she ran, the farther Louis watched her, and a pang of discomfort spread through his chest, making him push the car door open and follow her. His leather shoes got dirty, and his brows couldn't help but furrow, but he still followed her footsteps."What are you planning to do?" Louis looked at her, asking in a deep voice.Lalisa walked to the old, crumbling wall in front of her. It was very long, covered in cracks and destruction.She looked at it briefly and said softly, "It would be nice if I had some spray paint.""Spray paint?" Louis repeated her words."Yes, after I finish studying, whenever I'm in a bad mood, I paint on the walls everywhere." Thinking of her younger self, Lalisa couldn't help but laugh as she stood before the crumbling wall. "When
"But it's not broken, just a slight mark," she said. If it's not injured, why should she care? And he wanted her to blow on it like a child."Do you intend to blow on it or not?" Louis looked at her sternly, with an overbearing attitude that made it impossible for her to refuse.They stood at the head of the street, and although it was quiet, there were passersby. Some girls standing on the other side of the road curiously watched them.Reluctantly, Lalisa looked into the hungry gaze of Louis. After hesitating for a moment and seeing more and more people around, she could do nothing but stretch out her hands and blow gently on his forehead, asking, "Is that okay?""No, blow again," Louis commanded.Lalisa could only continue blowing for him.After a while, Lalisa's mouth began to hurt, and more and more people gathered around. She didn't want to stay here any longer. "Are you done?"How long did he want her to keep blowing?"Alright." Louis was finally satisfied with her blowing and l
"What do you mean?" Louis stared at her intently."The ring is a symbol of love. Look at how perfectly crafted it is. Why not give it to your future wife? It's inconvenient for me to carry around while I draw," Lalisa tried to find reasons, attempting to persuade Louis to take off the ring.The ring was too intimate of proof.She didn't want to accept it.Moreover, she had already been nurtured and couldn't accept more extravagant items."..."Louis remained silent, his gaze fixed on her."Also, this ring is a bit big for me," Lalisa risked finding another reason."..."Louis's face turned slightly gloomy."My fingers are small; if I wear the ring, it will fall off. What should I do now? It's so troublesome.""After you finish talking, I have nothing to say," Louis coldly cut her off.Lalisa glanced at him and saw his irritated expression. She fell silent.Louis tightened his grip on her hand, looking at her intently. His tone turned cold and severe, each word enunciated deliberately,
"He's Louis. He's the kind of person who lacks feminine traits, so why does he value you so much?""You don't have feelings for him.""…"Lalisa reached out to take the ring off her pinky finger, suddenly remembering Louis's authoritative words, "Try taking it off again. I'll put it back on your finger."Pause. Her action involuntarily halted.In this situation, what should she do?She was cornered, so how could she escape?Lalisa felt increasingly annoyed, hesitantly pushing aside Louis's hand that was wrapped around hers. She exited the bed, walked to the balcony, and went outside.A cool breeze blew in, caressing her neck.Lalisa tightly clung to the hotel's bathrobe that she was wearing, walking to the balcony and gazing at the pitch-black night. Beneath the tranquil night sky, only the sparkling stars adorned the expanse above.Standing there alone, she sometimes felt her head cleared by the gusts of wind, then muddled again.She lowered her head to look at the ring on her finger
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
