Beside Cora,there was a bright smile on Phoebe's face, which was so dazzling in Cora's eyes.Winnie, who was in the kitchen, watched the scene but couldn't make any sound. She was nobody, and she might say something wrong. Winnie felt pitiable for Cora, but she could do nothing about it.Cora's hands were clenched into fists, and her nails were deeply stuck into her flesh. Without saying anything, she stood up and walked slowly towards the wooden stairs, A teardrop dripped from the corner of her eye to the staircase. With a sound of click, Cora quickened her pace. She went back to her bedroom. She didn't expect that she would need the things she had packed so soon.With two suitcases in her hands, the big suitcase reflected her frailty. But no one came to help.Cora went downstairs slowly, dragging her suitcase.********************TRISTAN*I was so pissed as I watched Cora's every move.Lily appeared to scared that she hid in
*CORA*My mother barely cooked.My father worked very hard everyday while building his company and he would also come back home to cook and do the house chores.At the end,he couldn't take it anymore.The divorce was the first difficult period for my father's company.He signed the papers without much argument.I was in my first year of high school then.Because of this,my father had developed a character of not admitting defeat,of in other words, he could not afford to lose.Because the company hadn't thrived then,my mother left him and abandoned the two of us.Since then,I had vowed never to be like her.I had vowed to be the backbone my partner needs.I had vow to shower him with love and affection.And give him my true support.Tristan's face flashed through my head.Yeah.I had wanted to be the best wife for him.It had rained heavily on the day my parents got divorced.I can still remember the lightning and thunder of that
*CORA*Tristan had said we should forget that night ever happened.But how could I ever forget?When we had gone at it for hours?When it had felt like he had always wanted to do that to me because he kept making me cum?It had started out as a drunken night.He had lost a business deal of his and he was drinking at the cellar.Because I was so much in love with him at that night.I had tried to console him by telling him some jokes and even drinking with him.We had gotten drunk.He claimed he had always touched me because he was drunk but I believed that we weren't that drunk to not know what we were knowing because I was fully aware of every second of it.He had suddenly pulled me into his arms and whispered."You said you wanted to be of comfort,can I do anything to you to cheer me up?"His words had taken me by surprise and I nodded.I was so enthralled by him to refused.He leaned in and k
"Get up,and get on the bed.I'm going to fuck the hell out of you."His voice was hoarse with need,hard breaths in between the sentence,the order almost a plead despite the command in his tone.I moved,my limbs sluggish and irritable.But before I get to the bed,my body was spun around by his hands and his mouth crashed down on mine.His hands gripped my waist, lifting me up and moving until the soft bed is beneath me and he is above me,the thick length of him stuff and heavy against my thighs.I parted my legs,his body settling between them,his tongue licked through the skin of my chest,he lavished kisses all over me,his tongue teased and tortured the hollows of my neck.He grind against me,his hands reaching down and placing his cock upward between our bodies,his hard shaft was heavy between my legs, every thrust of his pelvis creating delicious friction on my sex.He lifted his mouth from my neck,hovering above my mouth and changing the pac
Half an hour later, Zoe arrived downstairs at the company.When Cora saw Zoe, she didn't tease her as she used to do. Today, the atmosphere seemed a little serious.After getting in the car,Zoe said, "Cora, what will you do if you are really pregnant?"With a determined look at Zoe,Cora said, "Give birth to the baby.""I want to be the godmother of your child." Zoe grinned happily."I thought you would persuade me to have an abortion."Cora exclaimed.Zoe replied, "How could it be? The child is innocent, no matter whether Tristan divorced you or not. You should give birth to the baby. " Zoe said seriously."But aren't you afraid that the baby will be lonely without a father after it is born?" Cora asked curiously."Are you silly, Cora? You can find a father for your child in the future. At least, those children who grew up in single parent families may not have psychological problems. Don't worry, I will love my godson a lot.""Okay." Without saying anything more,Cora leaned against th
*CORA*Some companies I visited hemmed and hawed without telling me their reason for not cooperating with me while some others gave me the same answer Mr Lucas did.That was, they couldn't cooperate with me because Tristan Godoy told them not to.Within a week,I had visited all companies of various sizes.None of them were willing to help.As expected,misfortune never came alone,which made me a little dispirited.I felt as if all my enthusiasm had been extinguished.Misfortune always came so steadily and ruthlessly.************That weekend,I stay home.I was almost giving up after a week's failure.I haven't even told my dad that I was pregnant yet.I didn't want him to worry about me even more.I was so upset.At this critical moment,any small thing could be the last straw to crush the camel.After cooking a pot of porridge,I put a spoonful of brown sugar and poached several eggs in it.My dad had left after breakfast while I stayed dejectedly at home.My dad said he still had hope unt
Life wasn't restricted to have a place to sleep and eating.In the evening,Cora decided to go to Starry Hotel to meet Alvin. Anyway, she would have a try again. If she failed, she would have to turn to Tristan for his help. Even if she lost her dignity, she couldn't see her father's withering heart.After dinner, Cora went out.She wore a black dress with her waist pinched and a 5-centimeter stiletto. Although she was pregnant and was not suitable to wear high heels, she had to do so in such official occasions.Cora's fair skin shone brightly against her dress. Her temperament was once again revealed totally, like a noble Black Swan dancing trippingly. Cora drove towards the Starry Hotel.The dark night devoured the world, and the world returned with a silent sigh. Looking at the falling shades of the trees on roadsides,Cora was like a ghost in the dark night. She couldn't help frowning. Why did she feel so restless? What was going on?When Cora arrived at the hotel,Alvin was already
Cora didn't want to see Tristan again today. So she went straight to Zoe. She didn't want to think about her bag for the time being.An hour later, Cora arrived at the Haiti Building. After parking the car, she pushed the rotating glass door open and walked straight to the counter."Hello, I'm looking for Miss Zoe. I'm her friend." As Cora spoke, she handed her business card."Okay, please wait a moment. I'll call Mr. Aiden" The receptionist answered in a low voice.A few minutes later, the receptionist hung up the phone."Hello, Miss Cora. Miss Zoe asked you to meet her in the general manager's office. Please follow me. " With a smile, the receptionist guided Cora to Zoe's office.When the elevator arrived at the top floor, Zoe was already waiting for Cora at the office door. "Hey, what brings you here today, sis?"Cora didn't say anything. Zoe knew that there must be something bad had happened.Zoe ushered Cora into the office and closed the door."What's wrong with you,girl?"Cora
But Cora knew it was not that simple. It was obviously a bloody farewell. Something must have been brewing behind Tristan's abnormal behavior. Was it because of Phoebe?Was he going to stop pursuing and go back to Phoebe who was always available to him?In that case, Cora would look down upon Tristan.For so many years, Tristan still didn't know her. How pathetic it was.She was out of breath because of crying. She had never cried like this in front of him. Whether it was because of what happened today or because they wouldn't see each other in the future, Cora didn't care. What she cared about was that Tristan was in front of her, but she couldn't express her inner feelings at all.Cora could do nothing but cry.Zoe saw this scene through the French window of her house. Standing behind her, Noah held Zoe in his arms and said softly,"Good things never come easy. Don't worry."Zoe nodded, but she was still worried. It was so embarrassi
"You don't have to do this. I said I would set you free. Don't be nervous."Tristan said slowly. At this moment, he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he held it back.Raising her head, Cora was surprised to see the sadness in his eyes. 'How could he have such a melancholy look? It must be an illusion!'She calmed herself down and said in self-mockery, "I didn't expect that my divorce led to their marriage. Actually, you and I both are the matchmaker for them. You have made a great contribution."Tristan was not interested in arguing with Cora. He felt tired today. In the past, he saw arguing with Cora as a kind of pleasure, but now he realized that it was not pleasure but harm.The gap between men's and women's thoughts was not small. Until now, Tristan only knew that there was a gap, but he didn't know where it was. He just felt that he was tired, even though he had suffered less than Cora"Let bygones be bygones. Start over and pursue your own happ
Zoe's mother glanced at her father John as if she was blaming him for being too straightforward. She tried to mediate, "Her father means to ask if you have any plan after marriage?"Taking a sip of abalone soup, Noah looked up at Zoe. Although Zoe had never asked him, she still hoped to hear his plan.Noah's words were clearly heard by everyone present."Take over the family business and make it stronger. It would be best if it could develop into a leading industry. And have two children. If Zoe think that two children are too many, we can only have one. And then take care of child in love and harmony.If Zoe wishes to continue working or wants to stay home,I am completely fine with any choice she makes and I'll always stand by her every step of the way.I will love and take care of her until we're old and grey."Noah didn't feel ashamed to say so in front of all people. He didn't want to make unrealistic promises. All he wanted was to be with Zoe.Tristan s
Zoe was very happy to see Noah's parents, but she hesitated whether she should call Tristan this time. It was reasonable for her to call Tristan. After all, he was Noah's good friend. Since she had called Cora who would be her bridesmaid, if she didn't call Tristan, Noah would have other thoughts.If Tristan was also invited, would Cora feel uncomfortable? She didn't want anyone of her guests to feel unhappy. Especially at such an important occasion.Zoe thought for a while and decided to ask for Cora's opinion. After all, Cora was the key to the problem, and Zoe naturally hoped that she could be happy. If Corawas unhappy, she might not be in the mood to meet Noah's parents.Zoe got out of her phone and quickly sent a message to her.Zoe: Cora, let me ask you something.Cora: What's up? Go straight to the point.Is anything wrong?Zoe was pleasantly surprised to see the prompt reply. She felt warm in her heart. Whether it was friendship or lo
Phoebe made an inspection tour around the jewelry store. She was very attentive on her business, and the shop was finally running normally.Sure enough, where there is a will, there is a way. As a girl who was situated in business field since an early age,Phoebe knew how to run business even if she had no experience. As soon as she took over the jewelry store, she successfully ran the business on the right track. If time could travel backward, maybe she would be interested in learning business as her major.Hearing the familiar ringtone, Phoebe took the phone from the table listlessly, wondering who was calling. The moment she saw the caller ID, she couldn't suppress her ecstasy. It was Tristan!After clearing her throat, she calmly pressed the answer key. "Hello, Tristan.""Phoebe, I shouldn't have blamed you for what happened last time. I should have trusted you. Would you like to come to meet up this weekend and we could have a talk. I also have someone to introduce to you."Tristan
Phoebe was looking after the shop in the jewelry store and she felt bored, so she sent a message to Alvin. Since last time, she had been waiting for Tristan to contact her. But after Tristan left, there was no news about him.Phoebe: What's going on recently? Did Tristan say anything about what happened last time?Alvin was having a meeting. He planned to reorganize Phoebe's shop and make it his second one.Phoebe looked shrewd, but in fact, she was not. As long as it was involved with Tristan, Phoebe would panic. Alvin was a good master-killer.He didn't reply to Phoebe's message immediately. He knew that she couldn't wait to get the information she wanted to know when she was in a hurry. He just wanted to taunt her.Never show your trump card to others at once. If you meet a good person, he will only feel that you are honest, but if you meet a bad person, he will only feel that you are stupid.Alvin now felt that Phoebe was stupid. The smart impression she had left to him had alread
Tristan nodded, "Okay."Cora didn't say anything.Tristan's farfetched reason fooled James so easily. But it didn't matter.Tristan was in the front, followed by Cora The two of them went to the dining room one after the other. Since they came to the villa yesterday, the two of them had been like this. They kept a distance all the time and rarely walked side by side.James squinted slightly at the two people in front of him who were walking one after another.He was worried about the young couple, but he had no choice. Just like what happened in the past on himself, he always felt that the opportunity was in his hand, but he didn't know that the opportunity would disappear in an instant. The longer the time was, the less the opportunity would be.After breakfast in the afternoon,Lady Jane stood at the gate of the villa and watched Tristan, Cora and his son get in the car.Tristan and Cora waved goodbye to Lady Jane and told her to take care of herself.Lady Jane nodded repeatedly. Seein
Tristan pretended to turn around and turned over. Finally, Cora breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart was still beating fast that she could hear it clearly. She was finally relieved, but how could she be reluctant to part with him. Cora quickly stopped thinking about it.If there was no hope, there was no reason for her to fall deeper. After staying up for a few more minutes and feeling that Tristan beside her had got up, Cora awkwardly "woke up" as well. But the atmosphere was like a tense string, and she didn't know what to say.Fortunately, Tristan broke the tensed silence. Although his voice was cold, at this moment, Cora was very grateful to hearing it."Are you awake? Get up and have breakfast. We are going back to the city this afternoon." Tristan's voice was emotionless. He was afraid that it would disgust Cora. After all, he had done a lot of things that made her disgusted."Okay, I'll get up now." After saying that,Cora stood up and went to her luggage to get the clothes
Looking at the woman who was provoking him,Tristan stood up and held her chin with his right hand.Cora had no choice but to raise her head.Tristan saw coldness and disdain in her eyes.The last thing he wanted to see in his life was the disdainful look from Cora, which could almost defeat him at once and make him feel powerless and frustrated."Don't take yourself too seriously, understand?"Blue veins stood out on Tristan's forehead. This was the prelude to his anger.Tears were about to welling up in her cold eyes, but she still insisted on saying, "I ended up like this just because that I've been too humble.You don't deserve... "Before she could finish her words, Tristan lowered his head and kissed her. It was not a domineering kiss, but a kiss like a storm coming. Now that Cora didn't love him, he had to possess her again.Although she was flustered, Cora still kept her conscience. She desperately pushed Tristan away Tristan also felt the struggle of the beauty in front of him,
