Liam circled his short arms around Larissa.He said with a huff, "Rissa, there's an extremely horrid lady who came to our house pretending to be you. There's no way I'll approve of her! I know that you're my real cousin!"Caspian and the rest were dumbfounded. How did Liam learn about Larissa's identity?When Larissa didn't respond, Liam started to get a little anxious. He tilted his chubby face and looked at her with his big round eyes, calling out sweetly, "Rissa!"Seeing that Larissa remained quiet, Liam became even more anxious. He reached his arms out and wrapped them around Larissa's legs, trying to climb them.However, his arms were too short and couldn't fully encircle Larissa's legs. Because of that, he nearly ended up falling flat to the ground.Rio couldn't help but burst out in laughter.Feeling angry and embarrassed, Liam exclaimed, "You're the worst, Riri! You guys can stay with that horrid lady, I'm going to wander the world with Rissa!"Larissa chuckled, "Do you
Daring to bully their cousin, be prepared to face their wrath!Larissa suddenly spoke, "I've already devised a plan against Charmaine. If you guys are interested, you are welcome to join in."The three brothers' eyes instantly lit up, and they replied in unison, "We're interested! Of course we're interested!"Larissa had agreed to let them join in, so did that mean she was starting to accept them?Seeing their quick response, Larissa was momentarily taken aback. But she quickly regained composure.She realized that she shouldn't let her disappointment toward the Solace family tarnish her relationship with the Sawyer family.After all, they were her true family.Larissa quickly went over her plans. The more they listened, the more excited they became.Especially Rio, being the lively person that he was, clapped and laughed uncontrollably.Liam, with his hands over his mouth, quietly laughed along.He really liked Larissa!His few brothers were no fun at all, Larissa was undou
Larissa's eyes were like a hawk, firmly fixed on the Coke in Ambrose's hands.Ambrose casually tossed it around and Larissa's eyes closely followed each movement."Do you want it?" Ambrose asked, meeting her gaze.Larissa turned toward him and nodded vigorously. "Yes!"But Ambrose simply continued to toss the Coke around. Worried that he might drop it, Larissa urged, "Stop tossing it, it's going to be too gassy to drink."Ambrose tried to reason with her, "Drinking Coke isn't good for the body. It has too much sugar and can spoil your teeth."Larissa persisted, "But I feel like drinking it!"As she spoke, she continuously tried to play cute, looking at him with doe eyes.So adorable!Ambrose was entranced but he quickly composed himself. He tucked the Coke into his coat pocket."No." He refused and walked away."My Coke!" Larissa immediately chased after him.Seeing as Ambrose was about to reach the door, Larissa sprinted and jumped onto his back.She yanked his ears and d
Thrown off balance, Larissa tumbled onto the couch along with Ambrose.She instinctively reached for his hand when suddenly a tearing sound was heard. The sleeve of Ambrose's shirt was ripped open.The both of them froze and their eyes locked.Larissa took a moment before she realized how ambiguous their position was.Her face instantly reddened as she rushed to scramble off Ambrose.She swiftly tidied herself up, straightening her disheveled clothes.Ambrose, on the other hand, appeared calm. But as he got up from the coach, a slight blush could be seen on his cheeks.To cover up the awkwardness, he passed the Coke to Larissa. "Take it."Larissa blushed and took the Coke from him.She decided that from today onwards, there would be no more Coke for her!Owen knocked on the door."Come in," Ambrose said.Owen really didn't want to intrude at a time like this.But upon the sight of Ambrose's torn shirt, his eyes instantly gleamed with excitement.Noticing the look on Owen'
"This gold dragon looks so realistic! The craftsmanship is on par with world-class artisans!""This shirt perfectly complements Mr. Hamilton!"Ambrose gently grazed his fingers over the gold dragon, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.The employees exchanged surprised glances; they were utterly taken aback.Ambrose, who was known for his icy demeanor, was actually smiling.And he was smiling so happily at that!So it seemed like the widespread rumor about Ambrose piggybacking Larissa on a stroll was indeed true!A love-struck Ambrose was like a completely different person!For the rest of the day, whenever Ambrose crossed paths with anyone, he would extend his arm and casually reveal his sleeve.At other moments, he would unintentionally raise his arm to adjust his sleeve, casually showing off the gold dragon to everyone around.Furthermore, Owen had very "discreetly" revealed that Larissa had asked him for a sewing kit. She had very kindly mended Ambrose's shirt.Very s
Deadly love …A bone-chilling look flickered in Ambrose's eyes.The Twilight Group's scrutiny was becoming increasingly frequent.Joshua sighed and said, "The poison has flowed into your bloodstream through the wound and has now reached your central nervous system."While an antidote can control the poison's effects, it cannot eliminate it completely."Joshua paused and said in a serious tone, "Ambrose, we don't know what will happen next."Ambrose frowned deeply. The Deadly Love?"Larissa has extraordinary medical skills, so why not let her take a look …"Before Joshua could even finish his sentence, Ambrose immediately rejected his suggestion."No. I don't want to drag her into this."Joshua fell silent. He then warned, "You've been poisoned by the Deady Love once before. This is your second time, so the toxins will be much more aggressive than before."I'm afraid that in just a few hours, its effects will kick in. So you better be prepared."Ambrose asked, "How much anti
Ambrose lowered his head and gently kissed Larissa's lips.He said in a low and hoarse voice, "Wait for me."The next day morning, Larissa woke up, rubbing her head in a daze.She seemed to be exceptionally tired last night.Larissa reached out and felt the empty spot beside her. She suddenly remembered that Ambrose had told her he would be heading out last night.Instantly, she was wide awake.With Ambrose gone, Larissa's heart felt somewhat empty.She quickly freshened up and headed downstairs for breakfast, only to discover that Charles had gone on vacation. Joshua was nowhere to be found, too.She was the only one seated in the empty dining room.The long dining table was filled with a variety of exquisite dishes. Yet Larissa suddenly felt as if even the most delicious food had lost its appeal."Madam, is today's breakfast not up to your liking?" Tony asked with concern."What time did Ambrose leave?""Mr. Hamilton left at midnight.""Midnight?"Larissa found it extre
Just as the simulated figure's fist was about to descend onto Larissa, the lights suddenly turned on. The simulated figures disappeared.Larissa plopped onto the ground, putting a hand over her pounding chest."That scared me!"She panted heavily as she took off the simulation device.Then, Larissa was stunned.In front of her stood an adorable-looking little boy.He looked to be about three years old and was currently looking down at her from above.Upon seeing his adorable little face, Larissa's heart dropped to her stomach.She lifted her hand and pointed shakily at him, "You …"Ambrose pursed his lips tightly and looked at her with a complicated expression.Larissa shot up from the ground and exclaimed, "You're not Ambrose's illegitimate son, right?"At that moment, Larissa's imagination ran wild.She imagined a scenario where Ambrose had cheated on her and had a child with some other woman.This woman tragically passed away during childbirth, and Larissa had become th
Ambrose faced his back to Larissa.She tried to conceal her grievance and anger, shouting, "Aren't you leaving? Leave then!"He kept his back to her, not daring to turn around.Despite her efforts to suppress her emotions, he detected a touch of grief in her voice.Ambrose was frightened of turning around and seeing her tears.As long as he saw those eyes, he would be unable to resist the temptation to be selfish once again, to stay by her side at all costs.He gradually tightened his gloved hands.No. He couldn't be so selfish. He had become a monster, unworthy of her!He wanted to escape, hide, and not let Larissa see his monster appearance. However, he couldn't move at all. His feet stubbornly stayed in place, as if rooted.She walked up to him. She stared attentively at him for a moment before slowly reaching out to hold his hand.Just as her fingertips were about to touch his hand, Ambrose suddenly returned to his senses.Damn it! What was he doing? How could he let Lar
Max's treatment of external injuries was professional.He gently patted the wolf cub's head and said, "Bye."The wolf cub's eyes were full of gratitude. It looked at the humans deeply before running away without looking back.Larissa and her team continued to search for traces of the werewolf in Northernmost.However, they didn't find any useful clues. Max couldn't help but ask, "Madam, do you think there would be werewolves here?"She replied, "Although Jackie lied about the wolf cub, I believe he saw something real. No matter what, I'll find him, even if we have to turn Northernmost upside down!"On a mountain several miles away, a tall figure stood against the wind. He stood firm amidst the snowy landscape like a sturdy tree.The wolf cub approached him and affectionately rubbed against his trousers. He lowered his head, giving it a faint glance. "Little fool, don't get caught in human traps again."His tone was stern, with a hint of teaching. The wolf cub lowered its head i
There were no cameras in the hotel room, but there were in the corridor.In a fleeting moment, Larissa finally noticed something wrong.She rewinded the video and played it back slowly several times. Finally, she confirmed what she had seen.She slumped into the chair, completely lost.She knew that something must have happened to Ambrose.Although the footage got grainy right away, Larissa still saw it—Ambrose's hand had undergone some sort of transformation.What on earth had happened? She must find him as soon as possible!Everything was fine last night. Ambrose set off fireworks for her and even used drones to write his vow in the sky.He had done so many romantic things for her. Why did he change overnight? What was wrong with his hand?Larissa's mind was in chaos, unable to make sense of anything. After thinking for a moment, she called Max."Max, send a ship to pick me up... No, send me a helicopter. I have to go back right away."After returning, she immediately aske
Ambrose's pupils shrank.His right hand had completely transformed into the shape of a wolf claw.The mutation continued to spread up his arm, resulting in a thick layer of wolf fur.Dawn was approaching. A faint light shone on the horizon. The distant sea was tumultuous with no end in sight.Ambrose stood on the balcony, his black hair fluttering in the sea breeze.He cautiously lifted his right hand. At this moment, his hand could no longer be called a hand.From his fingertips to his arm, it had fully transformed into a wolf's paw. Even more terrifyingly, the mutation was still spreading toward his shoulder.His time was running out.Ambrose stared at his right hand intently for a long time. Until the cold air covered his long eyelashes with a layer of frost, he put on his gloves again, hiding the mutated hand.He returned to the bedroom, where Larissa remained asleep. She appeared to be having a beautiful dream, smiling as she slept.Ambrose sat down by the bed, gazing at
Larissa didn't notice Ambrose's abnormality. She thought he was preparing a surprise for her."Then hurry up, Mister!" She tiptoed and kissed his face before running out with a smile.His gentle smile disappeared after she left.Ambrose stared at his mutated right hand, his expression gradually darkening.He didn't want to appear so hideous in front of Larissa. So, he put on a pair of black gloves, intending to hide it from her.Larissa waited outside, kicking the ground with boredom. After a while, Ambrose came out."Mister!" Larissa dashed for him like a lively bird.He hugged her as he had done countless times before. She hooked her arm around his, and they walked out together.When the restaurant doors slowly opened, Larissa noticed the pink rose petals scattered all over the floor.It was so beautiful!It was evident that Ambrose attached great importance to their wedding anniversary tonight.She stared at his strikingly gorgeous profile. He turned and showed her a doti
A week later, Birdie awoke.She burst into tears upon seeing Larissa. "Ms. Larissa, those people beat me so badly! I thought I'd never see you again!"Larissa tenderly hugged Birdie and patted her back to comfort her. "It's fine now. Don't be afraid. I've already avenged you."Vincent stood nearby. He tightly pursed his lips, believing that the punishments meted out to those people were too light.After Birdie had stopped crying, she looked at him and asked, "Vince, why are you still so short?"He felt like he'd been struck by lightning.Birdie was a year older than Vincent. Girls at this age tended to be taller than boys, causing Vincent to be a head shorter than Birdie.He pursed his lips and quietly put away the small cakes he had prepared for her. It took him a lot of effort to snatch it from Victor.Even if he gave it back to Victor, he wouldn't give it to the ungrateful Birdie!Larissa could tell Vincent's thoughts and nearly came out laughing. She barely managed to hold
Larissa observed Fernando, feeling increasingly familiar with his appearance."Hmm... aren't you the guy who owes me a hundred thousand dollars in medical expenses? Have your injuries healed?"It was simple for a person to leave a lasting impression on her. He only needed to owe her money.When Fernando heard the familiar voice, he finally confirmed she was the one who saved him."It's me. I'm really sorry..."He didn't hide anything and confessed all of his wrongdoings. After speaking, he nervously waited.Larissa might criticize him harshly, hit him, or even trample on his dignity as Nayla did. Everything was his fault. He was willing to face the consequences.But...She pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "You're quite skilled, huh?""Uh..." Fernando didn't expect her to ask such a question out of the blue. He paused for a moment before nodding.Larissa waved. "Join the Hamiltons as a bodyguard then! If you perform well during the three-year testing period, we'll pro
As the Daltons' men surrounded Max, Nayla managed to flee."Damn it!" He gritted his teeth and glanced at Fernando. "Since you didn't join Nayla in harming Ms. Zoey, I'll let you go. You may leave!"However, Fernando didn't do so. He seemed to have made a certain determination and bent toward Max. "Please allow me to stay by Ms. Zoey's side. I'm willing to spend the rest of my life protecting her."Max squinted. "Do you think I'll still believe you?"Fernando remained bent over. It was a posture of persistence rather than reverence. "I won't give up even if you disagree.""Whatever!" Max turned around indifferently and led the Hamiltons' guards away.Fernando soon straightened up. He appeared resolute. Even if Max barred him from entering the Hamilton residence again, he would silently protect Zoey....Nayla stitched up her face at the Dalton residence, her hands trembling violently."Damn it!" She let out a shrill roar and hurled the needle holder violently to the ground.H
Fernando became more certain of the truth when he saw Nayla's panicked expression."Do you want me to believe you? Then show me how you used the silver needles to save me.""I—" Nayla bit her lip tightly. "You hurt me, Fernando. Have you forgotten that I saved your life? You promised to repay me. How could you doubt me?"He returned to his former coldness and stepped closer to her."You're not the one I owe gratitude to. When I was severely injured and unconscious, I couldn't see who had saved me. I'd even forgotten her voice. Fortunately, I've recalled it. Or I'd have no idea how much longer you'd deceive me!"During this period, the humiliations he had endured from Nayla were vivid and echoed in his mind.He had also doubted how a kind woman who would help a stranger could become so cruel.Nayla explained that her parents had abandoned her since birth. Larissa had also caused the death of her grandmother, who had raised her.After returning to her biological family, Larissa r
