He opened the tap, using his hand to get water to wipe off the lipstick stains from his lips. His eyes revealed a deep sense of disgust as he scrubbed vigorously, wiping until the corners of his mouth felt sore.The lipstick vanished from his lips.โUgh.โLeon continued to dry heave, even though there was nothing left to vomit. This feeling of misery was overwhelming.Suddenly, the restroom door swung open.Louis stood there, arms crossed, his gaze icy as he looked at him. โNew groom, the engagement ceremony has begun.โโโฆโLeon dry heaved and looked up at Louis, who was enjoying the spectacle in the mirror with an amused expression. His eyes were dim, and he said, โLouis, I know youโre uncomfortable, but thereโs no need for this.โHe leaned in to kiss him again.โI did nothing, groom. Or do you want to take an oath?โLouis coldly retorted, then turned and walked away.Oath, engagement.Thinking about the kiss a while ago, Leon turned back to the sink and dry heaved again. It took a w
Lalisa pushed his hand away, but Louis wrapped his hand around hers and continued adjusting the flower crown on her head. Lalisa pulled away again, and Louis wrapped it back.After a few rounds, Lalisa decided to let him adjust the flower crown on her head as he pleased.โI am the water lily in the golden meadow, the lily of the valley in the valley,โ York Lena stood before the officiant, holding up a red-colored book. The words inside the book, originally rigid, sounded emotional when she read them, creating a deeply romantic atmosphere.Leon stood to the side, looking at the rigid book in his hand, his lips pursed without making a sound.The church fell into silence for nearly a minute.All the guests were looking at them.York Lena, feeling impatient, nudged Leon with her elbow, and only then did Leon speak, โThe one I love is a young woman, like a lily of the valley amidst thorns.โWhat should come will come; there was no escaping it.He lowered his gaze, his grayish-brown eyes as
He is too forgiving!โSo, Andy is the one you used money to find?โ Lalisa wondered.โThese men are all gigolos. That ugly woman agreed to subsidise them in the long term, and a single transaction can โt easily sway them,โ Louis explained. โSo, I had someone inform him. I told him that York Lena was about to get married, and that she values her honor and wouldnโt want such gigolos around. This gigolo quickly stirred up trouble, claimed to be a rival of Yorkโs, and wanted to prevent the Anderson and York families from joining in marriage. He arrived soon after.โIt was a perfectly executed plan.York Lena knew what Andy had in his possession, and even if she brought those things to light during the wedding, her honor would still be tarnished. So, it was better for her to leave and preserve some of her dignity.Louisโs approach not only disrupted the engagement ceremony, but also spared the Anderson family from any inconvenience. In fact, it placed the blame on the York family instead.I
Leon shouted loudly in anger, stood up from the sofa and ran towards him. Louis immediately shot out, accurately throwing a nut into Lalisaโs plate, saying, โLalisa, eat it all!โHaving finished speaking, Louis turned and ran.Leon immediately chased after, โLouis! You dare to joke with me, you have too much courage, stop for me!โโWhat happened to them?โ Mrs. Grayson looked suspiciously at Lalisa. Lalisa also shook her head with a confused expression. โI donโt know either.โMrs. Grayson looked at them, smiling, โThe last time I saw them chasing each other was when they were kids.โIn a blink of an eye, even Louis has grown up.Time passes so fast.Lalisa looked at Leon as he chased Louis frantically. It was rare to see Leon calmly chasing after him. He seemed very comfortable.Everyone in the family is comfortable.Too good.Thereโs nothing better than this. You shouldnโt have any attachments, so let it go....Quickly, news of Jacksonโs death spread, and a funeral was held.At the f
โ...โLalisa pursed her lips slightly, holding the cards, and glanced over at Louis on the bed, who looked at them with a pleased expression.She wondered what he was so pleased about.Mrs. Grayson handed another key to Lalisa. โThis is a vineyard in China, also under your name. You can visit it, and thereโs a dedicated manager in charge. You only need to pay attention to the financial records.โA vineyard for her, too?โ...โโThis is an entertainment street in the country, complete with a horse racing track, a theater, and clubs for the upper class. Its main purpose is to facilitate social connections, but the profits are not bad either. You donโt need to manage it; just collect the money.โโ...โโAnd this piece of land is where weโve got mining rights for resource extraction. The profits are quite substantial. Iโve added your name to the documents, so when the time comes, you and the Anderson family will share the benefits.โโ...โ Lalisa blinked in astonishment, looking at Mrs. Gray
Drinking naturally required both individuals to have any significance; drinking alone was rather melancholic.โNo need. Iโve been busy with the funeral arrangements lately, feeling tired, so I wanted to have a drink. No need to call Louis. You all can leave,โ Leon raised his hand casually and said, his tone devoid of any emotion.โYes, Young Master,โ the servants bowed their heads and withdrew.Leon sat at the table, gazing at the lantern emitting a deep, enveloping light, his eyes somewhat lost.It was all over now. The engagement had been canceled, and no one was forcing him to achieve anything. He no longer needed to feign smiles; it was all in the past.From now on, he could live as he pleased.Wasnโt that a good thing?He poured a glass of wine, lifted it, and drank. The mist surrounded him, passing coldly through his eyes. He smirked and spoke to the mist-filled sky, โAre you helping me?โHe had lived in a hellish existence, and now that everything had changed, he didnโt need to
โWhy didnโt you give me a little more time, even if I was weak, even if I didnโt dare to move forward? When you turned 25, I would find you,โ Leon said, tears streaming down his face, his hand trembling as it rested on her shoulder. โJust two more years, thatโs all I needed. Iโve been silently watching you for so many years, and it was just a little more time.โJust a little more time, and he could have convinced himself to go find him.Just a little more.Why didnโt fate give him this chance?Lalisa opened her eyes, her eyes red, and said, โLife is something you canโt regret. If itโs in the past, just let it go! Donโt dwell on it.โRegret and self-recrimination held no meaning, and her younger brother couldnโt come back.Leon seemed to not hear her words and continued, โDo you remember, one year, you found out I was still alive? You went online and started a topic, asking others if it was shameful to like someone of the same gender, if it made you want to run away in embarrassment?โ
Their car left the Anderson family estate, and when they looked back from a distance, Mrs. Grayson was still standing there, waving her hand.Upon arrival, Louis and Lalisa didnโt have many people with them, but when they returned, a large entourage accompanied them, flying back to the S city on a private jet.Lalisa sat by the window, looking out at the layers of white clouds.โHey! Look at me!โ Louis sat across from her, playfully kicking her leg lightly.โWhat are you doing?โ Lalisa asked, puzzled.โOf course, I want you to look at me, because Iโm handsome!โ Louis said with an air of self-importance. โWhat are you thinking about?โLalisa sat on the other side, smiling faintly. โIโve been in England for a short time, but it feels like a lifetime.โJacksonโs death, Mrs. Graysonโs stubbornness, Leonโs regrets โ they had all been through a lot.โDo you want to stay longer?โ Louis asked.Lalisa shook her head. โItโs not that I want to stay longer. I want to go back. Hau Vu invited me to
Lalisa looked at him bewildered, unable to say a word.โYou are the woman who drugged me. I canโt touch you. You, this kind of woman, donโt know how to use the same tricks and crawl into the beds of so many men. You must be punished.โ Punish." Louis said, expressing his inner feelings that year, โI canโt see you again, absolutely not.โโ....โLalisa was so surprised that she couldnโt 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?โThree 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.โ Louis said, โI didnโt even look and rushed forward because that woman was you, understand?โAmid the sound of fireworks filling the sky, Louis stood behind Lalisa, slowly bowing his head to rest on her s
โMrs. Anderson, there are always all kinds of scandals in this world. You canโt make everyone understand the feelings youโve been through, so donโt worry about them. Living your own happy life is important Best.โโLady Anderson, just enjoy yourself.โโPeople who criticize you and look down on you cannot affect your life or your wishes for happiness.โโThere is Mr. Anderson loves you like that, so no one else matters.โEach 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, โThank you, thank you, I know, wish everyone happiness.โLalisa 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, โFinally, now you know what happened.โโYou donโt seem happy,โ Louis stated.โSo, should I be happy?โ Lalisa replied candidly. She turned and walked ahead, clasping her hands behind her back, fingers intertwined. โI think the events of seven years ago, whether itโs me, you, Alana, or even Felicia, were all tragedies.โTragedies like these should never be repeated.If she had known that she wouldnโt 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.โA tragedy?โ Louis followed her, his dark eyes not showing any hint of happiness as he stared at her. โThis isnโt a tragedy! Itโs a comedy!โโWhy do you say itโs a comedy?โ Lalisa asked.โSeven years ago, it was you on the bed with me; thatโs the comedy!โ Louis said as if he were slashing at the ground with a knife.
What is this?A coincidence? Unavoidable misunderstanding?Leon shook his head. โNo, it canโt be, Louis. I donโt know Alana, and heโs a stubborn guy. He wouldnโt jump to conclusions based solely on someoneโs back; he would definitely ask for clarification.โHe refused to accept that explanation.โIโll give you another possibility,โ Louis said.โWhat is it?โ 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 wasnโt Alana, then who could it be?โI donโt know,โ Lalisa said as she looked at Leonโs reaction, unable to resist asking. Louis lowered his gaze and gently brushed his fingers across her face. โLalisa, if you were on the street and saw someone who looked exactly like you, how would you fee
Suddenly, Louis pulled her back again. โCome back to me!โ Come back to me quickly!โโFuck off!โโCome back!โโFuck off!โโCome back!โJust 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?โI just thought you were a wicked woman who drugged me. Falling in love is a very normal thing.โLouis sat on the bed and said.โRight? Why do I feel like if you use this method, the chance of you getting out of the room alive is only five percent?โ 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.โIf it wasnโt like that, why did you forget this room?โ 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 Louisโs b
Lalisa looked at her, not knowing what to say. The determination in her eyes gradually faded. โFelicia, this is the first time youโve spoken honestly to me.โEvery 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, โLalisa, if I had changed the target at the beginning, we wouldnโt be in this situation today.โIt was because of Louis, Louisโs fantasies, their entanglement, and his relentless pursuit that had led to the current situation.โUnfortunately, there are no โifsโ in this world.โ Lalisa found it somewhat ironic and teased, โLetโs go. Isnโt it time to take me to Louisโs room?โFelicia wiped away her tears and walked away.Lalisa followed behind her, thinking that perhaps seven years ago, she had been led by Felicia.โYou left the two of us unconscious together. Nothing might have happened!โ 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 Louisโs breathing. He would sometimes lie down on Louisโs body, mumbling, โDad, wake up quickly. Ben will draw the most beautiful picture for Dad.โโBen loves Dad and Mom. I want to play with Dad.โโIโm usually thrilled when I donโt have to go to school, but Dad is unconscious, and Iโm not happy without going to school.โโWhen will Dad wake up? Can we go home when he does? Dad, Iโm tired.โBen muttered.The group of servants placed the trunks on the ground and looked at Christopher standing beside them. โYoung Master, Housekeeper McKay told us to bring all the items from the young masterโs desk here. He said you wanted t
โWhat are you doing?โLalisa 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. โWhatโs going on? Where is everyone? Hurry; I canโt wait.โLalisa 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.โOwen Wilson, whatโs the rush?โ Felicia said with a smile, glancing at Lalisa. She said, โI havenโt found a suitabl
โBecause she lowered her head, I could tell right away that sheโs not happy,โ the man said, shaking the wineglass in his hand and glancing in another direction. โYeah.โIn 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.โ...โLalisa 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. โAlana.โAlana, her elder sister.Are you okay?The person in front of her didnโt 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.โAlana, donโt go! Iโm your sister!โLalisa rushed forward
