He is too forgiving!“So, Andy is the one you used money to find?” Lalisa wondered.“These men are all gigolos. That ugly woman agreed to subsidise them in the long term, and a single transaction can ’t easily sway them,” Louis explained. “So, I had someone inform him. I told him that York Lena was about to get married, and that she values her honor and wouldn’t want such gigolos around. This gigolo quickly stirred up trouble, claimed to be a rival of York’s, and wanted to prevent the Anderson and York families from joining in marriage. He arrived soon after.”It 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.Louis’s 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 Lalisa’s plate, saying, “Lalisa, eat it all!”Having finished speaking, Louis turned and ran.Leon immediately chased after, “Louis! You dare to joke with me, you have too much courage, stop for me!”“What happened to them?” Mrs. Grayson looked suspiciously at Lalisa. Lalisa also shook her head with a confused expression. “I don’t know either.”Mrs. Grayson looked at them, smiling, “The last time I saw them chasing each other was when they were kids.”In 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.There’s nothing better than this. You shouldn’t have any attachments, so let it go....Quickly, news of Jackson’s death spread, and a funeral was held.At the f
“...”Lalisa 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. “This is a vineyard in China, also under your name. You can visit it, and there’s a dedicated manager in charge. You only need to pay attention to the financial records.”A vineyard for her, too?“...”“This 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 don’t need to manage it; just collect the money.”“...”“And this piece of land is where we’ve got mining rights for resource extraction. The profits are quite substantial. I’ve added your name to the documents, so when the time comes, you and the Anderson family will share the benefits.”“...” Lalisa blinked in astonishment, looking at Mrs. Gray
Drinking naturally required both individuals to have any significance; drinking alone was rather melancholic.“No need. I’ve 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,” Leon raised his hand casually and said, his tone devoid of any emotion.“Yes, Young Master,” 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.Wasn’t 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, “Are you helping me?”He had lived in a hellish existence, and now that everything had changed, he didn’t need to
“Why didn’t you give me a little more time, even if I was weak, even if I didn’t dare to move forward? When you turned 25, I would find you,” Leon said, tears streaming down his face, his hand trembling as it rested on her shoulder. “Just two more years, that’s all I needed. I’ve been silently watching you for so many years, and it was just a little more time.”Just a little more time, and he could have convinced himself to go find him.Just a little more.Why didn’t fate give him this chance?Lalisa opened her eyes, her eyes red, and said, “Life is something you can’t regret. If it’s in the past, just let it go! Don’t dwell on it.”Regret and self-recrimination held no meaning, and her younger brother couldn’t come back.Leon seemed to not hear her words and continued, “Do 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?”
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 didn’t 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.“Hey! Look at me!” Louis sat across from her, playfully kicking her leg lightly.“What are you doing?” Lalisa asked, puzzled.“Of course, I want you to look at me, because I’m handsome!” Louis said with an air of self-importance. “What are you thinking about?”Lalisa sat on the other side, smiling faintly. “I’ve been in England for a short time, but it feels like a lifetime.”Jackson’s death, Mrs. Grayson’s stubbornness, Leon’s regrets – they had all been through a lot.“Do you want to stay longer?” Louis asked.Lalisa shook her head. “It’s not that I want to stay longer. I want to go back. Hau Vu invited me to
“Agreed, do you?”Lalisa asked, believing that a honeymoon was essential for newlyweds and they should definitely go. Could he possibly disagree with that?Louis released her, his black eyes gazing at her. “But we don’t know when N.E’s business will be finished. Anyway, choose a location, and once we decide, we’ll go.”Afterward, Louis called McKay, and on the other end of the line, McKay’s drowsy voice came through. “Young Master, what’s the matter?”“Immediately gather all the information about tourist destinations worldwide and bring it to me! Include suitable honeymoon locations as well!”Louis gave orders, his tone assertive and not open to interference.“Huh? Right now?”McKay was bewildered.“Right now! Hurry! Within half an hour, you must bring everything to my office. If not, you’re fired!”“Yes, Young Master.”McKay immediately snapped to attention.Lalisa sat on the bed, her legs folded beneath her, her chin resting on her hand. She stared at Louis, wondering if he had take
“Ben, you’re the cutest little lady.”Mr. Anderson flatted.Ben sat down on the sofa, sighing, “Aizz, Holy, just sits there, never plays with me. When will Mom give birth to a little brother or sister for me?”Meeting such impatience from her daughter about having a sibling was quite a surprise for Lalisa.Lalisa walked up and sat beside the little girl. She lifted Ben’s small face with her hands and looked at her, speaking in a calm, adult-like tone, “Sweetie, if someone has nothing to do, then they can have a baby. Don’t worry too much about it.”Lalisa was slightly exasperated by her daughter’s boredom. She asked, “What should we do then?”“What should we do?” Ben didn’t understand.“Your teachers need to stay at home so they can teach you anytime. Let’s arrange the living space and set up a room for them. Can we do that?” Lalisa asked, then looked at Christopher, who was deep in thought. “Holy, would you like to help?”Christopher knelt on the floor, his small, delicate face expre
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
