When Seth saw how Jennifer wasn't so much as even frowning, his throat tightened.In his mind, Jennifer was a privileged young woman who led a luxurious life. Back then, whenever she got a small cut on her finger, she would end up shedding tears.Now, despite her serious injuries, she was still so calm.He wondered just what she had gone through while taking care of Albert alone during the last three years.He stretched his arm out next to her mouth and said hoarsely, "If you can't stand the pain, you can bite my arm."Jennifer shook her head gently. "I'm fine. You don't need to worry."Despite saying that, when the doctor helped reset her bones, she still sweated buckets from the pain. Her teeth nearly shattered from how hard she was clenching her jaw, and she buried her fingers so deeply in Seth's arm that her nails pierced through his skin.Despite everything, she didn't even make a sound.As the doctor helped splint her arm, he couldn't stop praising her. "You're the strong
A satisfied smile spread across Lucas' face when he heard his son's words. He patted Seth's shoulder and said gruffly, "Bring Jennifer home and let her recover. We'll have the family doctor take care of her, so she'll be alright."Jennifer immediately objected. "No need, my father will come pick me up. Please just take Albert home with you.""Jennifer, all of this is my fault. I need to take responsibility. Or else, I'll lose my job. I just hope that you'll give me a chance to make it up to you."Lucas' grave words made it hard for Jennifer to refuse again.At that moment, Harry rushed in with his men. With a serious expression, he said, "The Miles family can take care of our own daughter. We wouldn't want to trouble you, Mr. Yarrow."As he approached Jennifer, his eyes filled with heartache and sympathy. He gently brushed the hair from Jennifer's forehead and said, "You silly goose, do you remember what I said? You're not a saint. Don't forgive everyone and anyone. Never forget t
Evelyn immediately drew her hand back and shook her head. "Mr. Miles, I can't take this.""Don't be silly. I'm giving this to Warren. He's hurt, so I should give him a little something. Or else, that punk will hold it against me."Upon hearing that explanation, Evelyn took the envelope with money in it. She nodded with a smile and said sweetly, "Thanks, Uncle Harry."Her cute demeanor was an exact copy of Sonya when she was younger.Harry rubbed Evelyn's head with affection. "Take me there. We'll just drop by quickly before leaving."As Lucas watched them leave, he glared at Seth. "You useless thing, how long has it been? Have you still not made Jennifer yours? Just what are you thinking?"Seth's expression darkened. "I've tried to pursue her, but she doesn't want it. I can't do anything about it."Lucas snorted coldly. "Oh, you've tried pursuing her, have you? All you did was follow her to her old home. If not for me, Sally wouldn't have let you into the Mileses' home. Do you t
Before Harry could process what he just heard, someone knocked on the door.Two men in blue uniforms entered. One greeted Warren politely and said, "Mr. Larkin, we've brought the documents over. We already have your and Mrs. Larkin's identification documents. The only thing missing is a signature. Then, we can give you your marriage certificate."Warren looked down at the surprised woman in his arms. He gently pinched her cheeks and said with a grin, "Grandma was right—if I don't marry you soon, the baby will come first. There's no better time than today, so I called the city hall officials over. Anyhow, we're only missing the last step before you become mine. Mrs. Larkin, are you ready?"Evelyn still hadn't moved on from what happened to Jennifer, and all of a sudden, she was getting married. She gaped at Warren in both shock and delight. She couldn't disguise the joy in her voice. "Warren, this time, there won't be any mishaps, right?"Warren looked at her tenderly. "No. In one m
That one sentence left Harry speechless. He already knew that it wasn't easy to deal with this punk.But seeing how they had finally reached this step, he was also happy for them.Although he still couldn't acknowledge Evelyn as his relative yet, he would still give a wedding gift as her uncle.He took out a card from his pocket and gave it to Evelyn. There was a complicated look in his eyes. "Evie, take this and buy anything you need for your marriage. Once you have your wedding, Grandma and I will give you the other gifts."Evelyn shook her head. "This is too much. I can't accept this, but thanks for your kindness." However, as soon as she said that, Warren took the card from Harry's hands and put it inside Evelyn's pocket. "Don't be silly, darling. We can't reject a wedding gift; it's a bad omen. We'll just take whatever he gives us, okay?""How come I've never heard of that saying?""No one will tell a young woman these things. Just take it. It's just something small from m
After the director shouted "Action!", Jazzie walked into the frame.She surveyed the surroundings in the room, but she didn't spot any trace of the man. All she heard was the sound of the shower running.She strode toward the shower. Just as she was about to knock on the glass, the door opened.A tall man appeared in front of her.Benjamin had a great figure—he had broad shoulders, long legs, and an eight-pack.A black towel hung low around his waist. The contrast of the towel against his tan skin was alluring, igniting lust in the people watching.This was Jazzie's second time seeing a man dressed like this, the first being Ethan. She couldn't help but diss him internally. That bastard, Ethan, always said that he had a great body, but it was a far cry from Benjamin's figure.The latter had bigger pecs and an eight-pack, while Ethan only had a six-pack…Suddenly, Jazzie put a stop to those thoughts.Why was she thinking about that bastard right now?Was this hunk in front of
Ethan set Jazzie down on the floor. Then, he pressed her against the wall with his strong body.With a naughty smile on his face, he slowly leaned down. Pointing at his mouth, he said devilishly, "If you want revenge, I'll let you have it. Have a bite."After he said that, he inched his lips toward Jazzie's mouth. His male pheromones pierced straight through Jazzie's heart.She had always been loud and brash. But this time, she didn't know why her heart was beating so fast.She punched Ethan's chest with full force. "Ethan, you're shameless!"Ethan looked at her angry face and then at the soft lips that he had once tasted before. He couldn't help but gulp."I don't care if I'm shameless. Right now, all I want is—"Before he could finish speaking, Jazzie covered his mouth. She glared at him angrily and said, "Ethan, if you fucking dare to say another word, I'll cripple you!"As soon as she said that, she raised her knee toward Ethan's crotch.However, Ethan was prepared for h
When Ethan heard Jazzie's promise, he smirked in delight. Pinching his nose with one hand, he dragged Jazzie back to the set.When the crew saw him covered in blood, they gaped at him in shock. Some women couldn't stop themselves from screaming."Jazzie, what happened? Did you abuse him?""No way. Why would you abuse such a handsome man? If you don't like him, then give him to me.""Stage manager, bring a pack of ice. It would be a waste if his handsome face got ruined. Jazzie, you're really something. A lover's spat is normal. You don't have to get violent, you know?"Jazzie nearly swore out loud when she heard everyone's comments.She was supposed to be the victim here.She had to be a housekeeper for this bastard for a month. She didn't even know how he planned to torture her during that time.Gnashing her teeth, she said quietly, "When you said you would tell me how to stop the bleeding, you meant this?"Ethan chuckled quietly. "That's right. Putting ice on a wound is th
