The silence in this room made people feel scared. Suddenly, a loud noise rang out to break this stuffy atmosphere. Harry forcefully placed the cup of hot milk on the table.He stood up and walked towards Emma's hospital bed. Gently kissing her forehead, he wrapped his arms around her, hugged her small body, and stroked her spine:“Emma, I know it's hard for you to accept this. But until Aunt Clark's health situation stabilizes, I can't do anything to Aurora.”Emma didn't push his large body away. It seemed like she was too used to his way of comforting, but she no longer felt the same sincerity as before.“So you confirm with me, do you choose me or Aurora?” She asked coldly.This question made Harry's shoulders tremble slightly. He hesitated for a moment before answering, "Please sympathize with me. After Aunt Clark is cured, I will take them to another place. Never see you again.”“Who will sympathize with me? Harry, I was the one who got into a car crash that left me in the hospita
The days passed in boredom. When dusk fell, the sun gradually sunk behind the sea. Emma sat next to the window observing this poetic scene but her heart did not feel peaceful at all.For the past three days, Harry locked her in this place and disappeared without a trace of him. Every meal, the steward would bring her food and then retreat. This villa was as quiet as its owner, with absolutely no conversation between people.Suddenly, the bright headlights of the Rolls Royce shined straight into the large gate of the villa, attracting Emma.He had finally returned.Harry strode into the main hall, took off his coat, threw it to the steward, and tiredly rubbed his temples, "Where is Emma?"“Madam's always in her room.” The steward honestly reported.He frowned, reached out to loosen his tie, "Didn't she leave the room or go to the flower garden for a walk?"The steward shook his head and sighed, "I offered to take her shopping as you advised, but she didn't agree. However, I see that sh
[Dear Harry,By the time you read this letter, I will have left you. Since I met you, I have done the craziest things in my entire life. And I am happy for that.For the first time, I accepted a marriage without love to a stranger I had only met a few times. I thought we would spend two years of contract marriage being bored and lonely. But in reality, you proved to be a gift that God gave me.Today, I am not writing to blame you or express my disappointment. I just want to thank you for the beautiful memories you brought into my life and for healing my broken heart after a failed relationship. These will be my final words to you after leaving without a proper goodbye.You might wonder why I never gave you a chance. I have also asked myself the same thing – am I being too stubborn?But I no longer want to argue about right and wrong. I also won't seek to understand who the real figure in your heart is.I don’t expect to always be a priority, but I also don't want to become an option f
5 years later.In the airport toilet.Harry washed his hands under the running water, then fixed his slightly messy hair. Just as he turned to dry his hands, a piece of paper appeared in front of him.“Why are you imitating me?” A white boy with blue eyes was giving him papers.He looked at the somewhat familiar features on the boy's face and was a bit stunned, but just coldly accepted, "Thank you."The boy seemed unhappy. He frowned slightly, clasped his hands at his side, then looked down, "You're welcome. But you still haven't answered my question.”Just now, standing next to him, he observed this handsome man performing the same hand-washing movements as him. Even his habit of liking to fix the hair was copied from him. This made him feel uncomfortable at all.“I have been standing here for a long time. It's you who imitates me."“I came later so I'm the one imitating? You are unreasonable.”Harry suddenly burst out laughing. He bent down and gently pinched the tip of the boy's no
"No, sorry…"Emma confusedly grabbed the side of her dress and stepped back.The whole hall immediately fell silent. Everyone stared at each other with wide eyes. The hand Harry held out in the air stiffened, even he himself was feeling stunned.This voice... Even though she spoke very softly, he felt familiar.“Emm…” Before he could finish his words, she quickly turned around and ran away.The crowd parted to let her go. She quickly disappeared from Harry's sight before he could regain his composure.The dance party was originally supposed to last another 10 minutes, but the scene just made everyone stop, afraid of Harry's emotions. However, an extremely strange emotion appeared on his face.Not the anger or usual coldness, his eyes seemed to hide a sadness that was hard to describe in words.Emma ran back to her table. At this time, Charles was also looking for her. When he saw her drinking the entire glass of wine in one gulp, he snatched it out of her hand.“Emma, where did you go
“Emma! How old is Charlie now?" After the blood transfusion, Harry stood in front of the hospital room door. Excitedly grabbing Emma's shoulder blades, he repeatedly asked her the same question.This boy had the same eyes as Harry and looked about 5-6 years old. If so, it would coincide with the time that Emma left. Thinking about this possibility, Harry felt both joy and pain in his heart, he almost wanted to explode at the moment waiting for her to answer.But Emma was very calm. She coldly pushed his hand, then frowned, "Don't touch me."“Ah, I'm sorry…” Harry let go of her in surprise and immediately apologized, “So answer my question, how old is Charlie now?”He proactively took a few steps back to keep his distance from her. Five years ago he hurt her deeply. Now that they had met again, he was so happy that he became crazy, but he wouldn't be so rude as to touch her again.Observing her from top to bottom, Harry's heart was momentarily suffocated. Even though he had lived in he
"Harry Handerson, don't follow me anymore!""Let me take you home. It's late now," Harry said sincerely, striding after Emma while maintaining a certain distance.She suddenly turned, angrily pointing her finger straight at him, "Stop. I don't want you to stand close to me!"Harry immediately froze, raising both hands in front of his chest to show his innocence. He slightly pursed his lips, his face showing a touch of dejection, and said with a pitiable look, "Alright, alright. I won't come near you.""Why do you even know I'm here? Are you following me?" Emma's chest heaved with anger, and her eyes glared at him."No, I'm not. I had a meeting with my partner in the next room and just happened to find out you were also dining here with your film crew. If you don't believe me, you can ask Martin about my schedule." He answered seriously."So, what was the purpose of your announcement just now?" Thinking about his arrogant attitude, she continued to pat her chest to calm herself while h
“Charlie, hold… hold my hand.” Emma trembled and reached out to her son.The fire spread more and more, forming a circle surrounding Harry and Charlie. Most of the neighbors next door had escaped, only a few men were carrying water buckets to put out the fire.“Hurry up, go out with your mother.”Harry felt a burning sensation on his back and then was pressed flat to the ground by the bookshelf. He put his soaked vest on Charlie and pushed him forward.Charlie used Harry's coat to help him put out the fire burning the bookshelf. He hesitated a bit, "Uncle Harry... I don't want to leave you behind...""Hurry up! Your mother is waiting!”Emma impatiently wanted to run inside but was constantly stopped by people around her. She shouted, "Why haven't the firefighters arrived yet?"Harry's eyes focused on the burned kitchen. If they continued to stay near this apartment, there was no telling when the gas stove would explode.A man took a deep breath, watched the fire become increasingly dif
In a spacious duplex penthouse of over 300m2 in the heart of the city, Harry and his wife, along with their two little angels, lived happily day by day. After the two kids went to school each day, Emma would often sit at home studying scripts before moving back and forth between film shooting locations.In the afternoon, Harry would come home early to pick up the kids after school, then they would go to the supermarket together and cook dinner for her.This year, Charlie turned 10, handsome and intelligent. Originally, his attendance at junior high school drew significant attention, but his charming appearance garnered much admiration from friends around.However, every time friends invited him to hang out, he would coldly refuse because he had to pick up his little sister Ariel from kindergarten and wait for their father to come home together.Life was peaceful and calm, except for one thing..."Mom, why am I not in this picture?"Ariel, a 4-year-old girl, held a photo against Emma's
"Boss, Madam said you're exploiting her labor. She wants to resign.""Resign? I disagree." Harry wore his gold-rimmed glasses, focused on the stack of documents on the table. His hand continuously signed contracts that his company had recently won.As soon as he raised his head, it seemed like the sunlight of the summer sun could compare to his handsome face, "Has she not realized her mistake yet?"Observing Harry's calm expression, Martin silently chuckled. In front of others, Harry could maintain the cold and arrogant facade; however, facing his wife, could he keep up such composure?"What are you laughing at?" Harry glared at Martin, noticing his suppressed laughter."Boss, this time, Madam wants to resign as your wife. Besides working and taking care of Charlie, she claims constantly comforting you is too exhausting as a wife.""Impossible!" The deep hoarse voice suddenly raised its pitch.As soon as Martin finished speaking, Harry slammed the table, losing the calm demeanor he ha
The sun was just rising. Soft light poured into the room, illuminating a couple cuddling affectionately in bed.“Good morning, baby.”“Morning.”Emma rubbed her eyes, gave Harry a peck on the lips, and stretched her body.Suddenly, Harry's large hand reached around Emma's bare waist. The contact of their skin gave Emma a cool sensation, and she let out a soft moan."What time is it? We need to take Charlie to school..." Her sweet voice still had a hint of huskiness as she pushed Harry's chest away and reached for her phone.However, Harry remained firm, holding onto her waist tightly. He bent down to kiss the white nape of her neck, his cool lips gliding over her soft skin as he inhaled her fragrance.“The school is right across the street. He can go to school on his own..."“Come on, Charlie's going to sulk again. I can't comfort him anymore..." She laughed, then ran her hands through his hair, tilted her head up and gently kissed his throat.“Ah…”Harry used one hand to push her hea
"Want a smoke?""No, she doesn't like the smell of cigarettes."Harry shook his head in refusal, pushing the offered cigarette from Charles a bit away with his index finger.Charles stored the pack of cigarettes inside his vest pocket, casually leaned back against the car, and took a deep drag. He lifted his head to gaze at the pitch-black sky, devoid of moon and stars, remaining silent as time passed without uttering a word.Harry crossed his arms over his chest. The waft of cigarette smoke in the air made him slightly furrow his brow, his deep voice resonating, "If you've got something to say, say it out. I still need to get back to deal with some work at the company.""The first time I met her was in a corner of the university campus. I was facing off against a group of troublemaker students to protect a stray cat, and she came running, cursing them straight to their faces to defend me."Harry's expression stiffened suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a complex emotion
In the capital city."Do you dare to show up at my doorstep?!" The fierce roaring voice carried immense anger, shaking the entire small villa.Mr. Garcia brandished a broom, driving Harry out towards the main gate. His chest heaved with rage, and he thrust the broom without mercy at Harry, but luckily he still avoided it.Pointing his finger directly at Harry's face, Mr. Garcia patted his chest to calm his breathing and said, "Get out of my sight quickly. Do you think bringing gifts to please me, I will allow you to be with my daughter?”The front door slammed shut, leaving Harry standing there looking pitiful and helpless.It seemed that the real difficulty had just arrived.A few hours earlier."Do you think this suit looks okay on me? Handsome enough? Does an all-black look from head to toe make me too scary?"Harry continuously adjusted his hairstyle while looking in the mirror. He then turned around for Emma and Charlie to admire. He nervously straightened the edges of his vest a
"Harry!" The anguished call echoed in Emma's heart from a distance.At this moment, all the forces Manuel had arranged along with the police arrived to surround the black car. The mafia inside, realizing they had fallen into a trap, couldn't help but curse silently. They slammed the car doors shut, intending to escape, but found themselves unable to run."Daddy! Daddy!" Tears streamed down with Charlie's tender voice, making the scene even more heart-wrenching.A 5-year-old boy cried, clinging to his father in the shelter of his small arms. From start to finish, Harry used his body to shield Charlie from witnessing the horrifying scene that had just occurred.But Charlie sensed Harry's continuously heavy and weakening breath."Sweetie, mommy is coming. You mustn't cry. Daddy almost made a big mistake just now. I'm so sorry, baby..." He held Charlie tightly in his chest, gently stroking his head."Daddy, I don't want you to die. I haven't had a chance to tell you how much I love you, a
"You've gone mad! The police have sealed off the landslide area; they'll quickly rescue anyone in distress. Stay put here for me!" Manuel commanded in a cold tone.He firmly held Emma's hands to prevent her from running forward."Let me go. I just came to check the situation. Harry and Charlie both went in that direction; they might have found a safe place," Emma protested."Stay here for me!" he repeated.Suddenly, his gaze focused on a black car passing on the other side of the mountain slope. A cold glint appeared in his eyes as he pressed Emma down under the seat.Uncomfortable with his rough actions, Emma raised her voice, "What are you doing? You still haven't answered me about why you're here. I'll go wherever I want.""Listen to me; you must not leave this area. Everything that happens after this must follow the police's arrangements." Manuel lowered his voice, looked at her seriously, and spoke a few words before quickly running off.Emma stared at his retreating figure in be
At the hospital."Did Manuel take away the test results? Wasn't the appointment for this afternoon?"Emma was frustrated with the hospital's way of doing things. She crossed her arms over her chest, took a deep breath to regain her composure, then tilted her head to look at Harry.His mood was calm again as he reached out to embrace her shoulders, pulling her close, and gently smiled at the doctor, "How are the test results? Surely, you must have recorded them on the computer?"Emma's delicately arched eyebrows twitched. She shifted away from him, giving him a stern look. Simultaneously, he leaned down to kiss her on the lips, giving her a playful wink and holding her tighter."I couldn't find any relevant records. It seems the doctor who conducted that test didn't document the results.""What? You guys are so irresponsible. First, there's a mistake in the test, and now you've lost the result notification for the patient..."The young female doctor in front of Emma looked a bit fluste
"Absolutely not. There must be some mistake here."Emma stood up abruptly, slamming the test results onto the table. She pointed at the paper, one hand leaning heavily on the table, and raised her voice in an angry interrogation of the young doctor, "Are you sure you haven't mixed up someone else's results?""Madam, I assure you these results are completely accurate. The paper even has the names of this gentleman and the child written on it.""Immediately retest for me." Harry gritted his teeth as he spoke. He leaned both hands on the table, his gaze like bullets putting pressure on the young doctor.The doctor, trembling, held up the paper and looked through it hesitantly, stammering, "You can request a retest, but it's after office hours now, and the DNA testing lab won't be operational. You can come back tomorrow to receive the results.""Fine, no need for a retest. We accept these results."Only now did Manuel speak up in his calm and composed voice. A faint glint appeared in his c
