Esther knocked on Sean's bedroom door, but there was no answer. Finding the door unlocked, she opened it, turned on the light and looked around, finally seeing Sean sitting silently on the floor under the sofa. He was holding a bottle of wine, taking a few sips and leaning back motionless.They were in the same hotel, but in different rooms."What are you doing?" Esther squatted down and picked up the wine, "Are you out of your mind? Why do you drink so much?"Sean said nothing and took the wine out of her hand. Esther refused to give it to him, hiding it behind her body and angrily asking, "Say something? What's wrong with you?!"Sean said angrily: "What do you want me to say? She's married! She has two kids! You've known that for a long time, haven't you?"Esther was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did she tell you?"Sean leaned back lazily and said sadly, "She said... she said she was married... why did she do that?""Didn't you ask more questions?" Ester tried to explain.
"Go away. Please come back later when you're sober."Sean bowed his head guiltily for making a scene in his house, then hung up the phone.Jenna sadly closed the door and went inside to keep her kids company.Sean stood for a moment, then turned and walked down the stairs while talking on the phone: "Okay, we can have the meeting now. I'll be there in half an hour."Taylor said, "It's almost noon.""Then why didn't you call me after lunch?" Sean was angry. After yelling, he suddenly looked at the numbers above the elevator section to see that he was already a few floors down. It was better for him to go first and see Jenna later, right?Sean had a bad headache. He went to the company lounge and slept for two hours, then got up to attend the meeting without lunch.Realizing that Sean would not be able to concentrate on running the company for a while, Taylor had no choice but to handle all company matters and speak at the meeting on behalf of his boss.The shareholders could no longer
Jenna finally heard the whole story and cried uncontrollably. Who was to blame? She wanted to blame herself, but she felt wronged! Was fate playing a trick on her?Esther handed her a handkerchief: "Do you want me to call my brother?"Jenna was stunned for a moment and said with a sob, "No... wait until I'm done crying..."Just then the doorbell rang. Esther put down her handkerchief and went to open the door, and there was Sean. Esther turned and looked at Jenna, who had lowered her head, wiping away her tears, and had not yet looked up. She turned around, picked up her bag and left, then said to Sean, "I already told her about Charlotte, the rest is up to you."When Jenna heard this, she looked up to see Sean with tears streaming down his face. Sean slowly walked to her side, sat down and wiped her tears with his hand: "Charlotte and I...""I know..." Jenna cried. Considering that Sean hadn't seen his child born or grow up in the last few years, she felt very sorry for him. She rus
Sean and Jenna hugged tightly and suddenly Sean's stomach churned.Jenna stepped back and Sean asked awkwardly, "Is there any food?""You haven't eaten yet?""Yes... I ...." Earlier he really had no appetite, and now it seemed that his appetite had returned."Wait a minute." Jenna took a knife, went to the kitchen, looked through the ingredients in the cupboard and cooked a bowl of noodles for him.Sean took his cell phone and Jenna's, keeping each other's numbers. He had a sudden urge to check the contents of Jenna's phone, but after hesitating for a while, he didn't dare move and put her phone on the table.Jenna put down the noodles and said, "You eat, I'll get my sweater, I'm a little cold."Seeing that Jenna was only wearing a thin nightgown, Sean inwardly blamed her: 'You... should have worn a sweater from the beginning,' he muttered to himself.Jenna smiled and went back to her room to put on a jacket.When Jenna came out, Sean, who was sitting in a chair, looked up and found J
In the morning, the sun is warm and the air is crisp. Jenna was preparing breakfast in the kitchen while Olivia sat in the living room holding her stuffed dog, wiggling and singing. Jenna listened to her sing for a long time, and when her breakfast was ready, she called out, "Olivia, Oliver, it's time for breakfast!" "Yes, Mom." Olivia ran over immediately and Oliver followed her. Jenna touched her head happily and was about to go into the kitchen to get some water when she turned to see Sean coming out of the room. Her eyes widened: "Didn't I tell you not to come out?" Sean looked at her sadly, "I want to enjoy this happiness too, my son and daughter are so well-behaved and sweet! I want to hug them, kiss them and pinch their face." Jenna looked back, wanting to hide him before Olivia noticed. "Jenna..." Sean felt very hurt. Oliver turned his head at the sound of his voice and his eyes suddenly widened. "he..." "Ah..." Olivia screamed, throwing down the spoon in her ha
"After dinner, I'll buy you something delicious, okay?" Olivia took a bite of her food and ignored him. "Do you want to buy toys too?" "Auntie already bought them." Olivia looked down and didn't look at him. Auntie? Esther? Sean furrowed his brow. 'Why did you steal my work?' he muttered to himself. He looked sadly at Jenna: 'Why didn't you let me meet these kids first?' Jenna sighed: "I haven't been shopping for a long time, let's go together after breakfast." "Okay." Sean said happily. After breakfast, Sean helped Jenna with the dishes while Olivia and Oliver looked into the living room, a little curious and a little scared. Thinking about how much their friend's father loved his son, they also wondered if their father would love them that much, so they were a little hopeful about getting close to him. Jenna came out and patted their little noses: "What's going on? Daddy's doing the dishes. Look how pretty he is." Olivia and Ester looked back at noon. It was true
Sean looked at Jenna and felt that she had never been so beautiful. Suddenly he couldn't help himself. He wrapped his arms around Jenna's waist, leaned down and kissed her, biting her lip and kissing her hard. Jenna's eyes widened and for a moment she was unable to react. Sean didn't really want to show affection in front of children and strangers, so he let go after a few seconds. Jenna was stunned for a moment and looked at him. He smiled awkwardly, licked his lips and said, "Let's go out dressed like this. I'll pay the bill." Jenna nodded, biting her lip slightly as her heart raced. How strange. How could she still be in love after all this time? A family of four walked out of the store, making people stare as they left. As they walked, passersby turned to them and said, "So handsome!" "Is he a model?" "Are his children twins? They're so cute." Jenna thought they had been out too long and said she wanted to go home, but Sean wanted to walk around for a while so eve
Sean, Jenna and the kids finally returned to New York. At first, Sean didn't want to bring Jenna back to his house, preferring to hide her and the kids somewhere else for a while, but unexpectedly, Sean's grandfather, who actually hardly ever interfered with anything that happened in the Anderson family, suddenly called and told him to bring Jenna to the Anderson family residence. Jenna was obviously not ready, but there was nothing she could do to refuse. When Jenna arrived at the Anderson residence, she expected rejection and abuse, but Sean's Grandpa was kind and welcomed her warmly. Jenna didn't want to be too happy, so she was just polite, and after they talked, she stood up and said, "It was nice to meet you, sir, but I'm afraid I have to go home. The kids are waiting for me at home." Jenna didn't dare bring her children into that house for fear they would be treated unpleasantly, so she decided to hold off on introducing her children to Sean's family. Coming down t
Family. The word itself gives us a sense of comfort. We know that there is someone out there who cares about us, who loves us, and who will do whatever it takes to protect us. Valeria didn't know if she had that kind of love in her past. Someone to rely on, someone to call family, but now she does. She has a happy little family. "Good morning Val," Benjamin's voice rang in her ear. "Over here." Valeria called from the kitchen where she was busy making pancakes. "Good morning to you too," she greeted with a smile as Ben walked over and kissed her on the cheek as he put the groceries down. Don't get me wrong, they were actually just close friends, best friends, but lately Ben's attitude towards her had become super caring, more than ever, and Jenna was starting to like him, not because he was her only male friend, but because Ben was always there when she needed someone by her side, and every woman looks for a man like that. "Val?" Benjamin said as he snapped his fingers in fron
Black, it is the color of darkness, of loneliness, of disorientation. This color was Jenna's only companion as she lay unconscious in bed. She could hear a soft beeping next to her, but what stood out the most was the throbbing pain all over her body. Her head hurt like crazy. There was a light weight on her arms, legs, and head. The only thing that was free was her waist. It hurt, it stung, it itched. She wanted to scream, to cry out, but she couldn't. Afraid of what would happen if she didn't get up, she began to concentrate on her fingers and tried to move them. Eventually it worked, and she took a break, because even though it was just moving the fingers, it took more energy than she expected. After a short rest, She used all her remaining strength to open his eyes. She groaned softly as intense pain pierced her skull, causing her to involuntarily close her eyes again. When the pain became unbearable, she opened her eyes again. The beeping sounded a little louder and fa
Black. Sean actually hated funerals because there were so many sad and hurt people, and here he was wearing black to the funeral of the person he loved the most. He still couldn't believe that Jenna was gone. Even though everyone in front of him was shouting 'she's dead', he still couldn't believe it, at least not in his heart. But her wrecked car, her burned body, the necklace around her neck that belonged to her mother, and then the ring on her index finger that she always wore seemed to give up hope that it wasn't really Jenna. So now they decided to bury her body next to her mother and father's grave, in the place she wanted. At that moment, Sean looked at himself in the mirror. There was a man in a black satin shirt, black pants and black shoes. His eyes were red and expressionless, and he had a newly grown beard. He couldn't recognize this man. This wasn't him, certainly not like him. She glanced at the row of ties lying carelessly in the corner of her closet. He told L
Sean stood in front of the window in his office and stared at his reflection in the glass staring back at him, confusion and uncertainty clouding his vision. He pulled his coat closer to his body and sighed heavily. He had no idea what he was doing or what was happening to him. He woke up this morning with a severe headache, and when it subsided, he looked around and frowned. He had a vague memory of what happened last night, but he didn't know if last night was a dream or not, but it definitely felt more than real. Even if it was a dream, he could tell that it was the scariest dream he had ever had. Even though there was only Jenna in his mind, last night he dreamed of himself kissing Alexa, then Aiden's car pulling into the gate and then driving away. Was Jenna there? Did she see him kiss Alexa? He vaguely remembered Alexa suddenly kissing him, but he let her. He hoped it wasn't real, mostly because he was afraid. Afraid that Jenna would be angry. She would think, what kind
Do you know the feeling when a bucket of water with lots of ice cubes in it is dumped on your head without warning and you want to scream, but your breath gets caught in your throat, restricting your vocal cords as the cold creeps into your bones? Yeah, that's what Jenna's feeling right now. No one was going to dump a bucket of ice on her head, but right now it would be much better than watching the events unfold in front of her. All of her previous resolve had simply vanished and probably burned up with the ashes blowing away in the wind. Sean and Alexa were standing in the doorway, or should she say they were kissing. Noticing the arrival of Aiden's car, they froze in place without blinking, and Jenna forcibly shifted her gaze from them to Aiden, who sat next to her, staring ahead with a sullen expression. "Are you going to watch them do it here or are you going to drive?" Jenna asked him with calm in her voice. Aiden nodded without looking at her and drove back and out the g
Jenna realized that even though she was wearing high heels, the fact was that Aiden was still taller than her. Jenna put both hands on his shoulders and they swayed to the beat of the music. Feeling a sharp look on her back, Jenna looked back and her eyes met Sean's as he stared intently at Aiden's arms wrapped around her waist. His grip tightened around Alexa's waist until she winced in pain. His eyes flicked back to Alexa and apologized for the pain he had caused. Jenna wondered if he would apologize to her for all the pain he had caused her? He used to be so abusive. He had even been rough with her in bed the last time they had made love. And look, he couldn't even stand to see Alexa in a little pain. Jenna looked back forward to meet Aiden's amused eyes. "What's so funny?" she asked as she turned her around and Aiden pulled her closer. "I was just wondering what Sean was doing," Aiden chuckled. "Doing what?" asked Jenna confused. "He's obviously not interested in Al
The car pulls up and like any other party, the paparazzi are the first to greet them with their camera lights flashing in full view. Jenna hides behind Sean and uses him as a shield to get her eyes used to the light. When she finally gets used to the light, she follows Sean and Aiden out of the car and runs toward the stairs. Jenna doesn't like posing for the camera, but Aiden disagrees as he takes her arm and makes her smile in front of several cameras. Jenna frowns at their intertwined hands, then Sean does something unexpected. He grabs her hand and pulls her to his side, away from Aiden and toward the large double doors that await their arrival. Jenna wanted to say that he shouldn't act like that in public, but she knew better than that what Sean was like. This man never liked to have his property touched by others, even if he was now too close to Alexa. Instead of arguing with him, however, Jenna let him drag her along. Soon they reached the large golden double doors, wh
The sun kissed her face warmly, as if to say, "Rise and shine." Lazily, Jenna turned over and pulled the blanket over her head. But suddenly she remembered that today was Saturday, the day of the charity event. She woke up with a start. Her brown hair was loose in front of her face. She didn't even want to look at it, because she already knew the condition of her hair, as if it had just been hit by a storm. She walked to the dressing table and tied her messy hair into a ponytail, then went to the bathroom to do her daily routine. "Ah! You're awake. Your dress will be here in a few hours. Get some rest and be at the venue by 6," Aiden said, starting to walk out of her room. "Is everything ready?" Jenna mumbled in front of her toothbrush, which was still covered in toothpaste. She didn't understand half of what Aiden said, but she seemed to understand. Don't ask how. "See for yourself," Aiden yelled and ran out before Jenna could ask or say anything. Jenna quickly did what she
"Seriously, Casey? I ask you to do one thing. One thing, and you can't get it done in time?" Jenna yelled angrily as she paced the kitchen, running a hand through her brown hair in frustration. "I'm sorry, Ma'am," she said in a shaky voice. "Tomorrow is the charity event, now what am I supposed to serve them?!" Jenna shouted again and hung up angrily. She was completely out of breath. She rarely got angry, and right now she was angry, stressed, and worried. It wasn't a good combination. How could things be so messy? Everything had been organized and Jenna should have been able to relax while waiting for the day of the event to arrive. But suddenly the caterer canceled the contract. Annoying laughter could be heard in the kitchen where Jenna was pacing angrily. She turned her head to the side and glared at Aiden, who was eating the tuna sandwich Lily had prepared for him. The man threw up his hands in surrender, but continued to laugh at her condition. After calming down, Je
