That kiss… It could not even be called a kiss, it was more like a bite. Jane's lips stung, and her mouth was filled with a faint sweet and fishy taste. ‘This bastard!’He had bitten her hard enough to break the skin! She was not someone who would just take it, and she immediately thought of biting back. However, he anticipated her move, pinching her cheeks and forcing her mouth open. As her breath grew shallow, the door behind her was knocked on. "Jane!" It was Michael's voice. Jane wanted to respond, but there was no space to move. Zachary only allowed her a brief moment to breathe. She could only let out a whimper. Michael could not hear Jane's response and knocked frantically on the door. The staff members who accompanied him came to check the situation, and Michael urged them to open the bathroom door. The staff had to seek permission, after all, they could not offend anyone on the plane. "Sir, please calm down. For everyone's safety, do not engage in
If it were a lemon she was eating, I could have barely believed the bacteria-killing claim. However, I didn't say much and sat down to give those two some space to act. Before I even got comfortable, Frank returned. "That was quick. Have you finished a cigarette already?" "I quit, you know that." Frank took my hand, seeking praise. "I didn't sneak any, you can smell me." As he leaned closer, I raised my hand to block him and quietly asked, "What did you say to Zachary?" Frank replied, "I didn't say anything." I was surprised. "Then why did you tell me to come back to my seat first?" Frank answered matter-of-factly, "What if we hit turbulence? It's safer for you to sit down." I was both amused and exasperated. On the other side, Zachary sat down in his seat. His position was diagonally in front of Jane, allowing him to see their interactions clearly. A tight knot of frustration built up in his chest, making him restless. He had already undone two buttons on his
I nodded, "Then you two be careful." "Don't worry, Charlotte. I'll protect Jane," Michael promised, raising his hand. I was about to respond with a polite smile when Frank pushed me into the car. Just before the door closed, I heard Jane tell Michael, "Don't smile too brightly at Charlotte in the future, her husband gets jealous over everything." Michael nodded obediently. "Okay, I understand." I was rendered speechless. The car left the airport and arrived at the hotel after about half an hour. The security guard came forward to park the car and take the luggage. I took the child from my mom's hands. "Mom, you've worked hard today." "It wasn't hard at all, I didn't have much to do. Plus, watching Sparrow makes me happy." "We'll have dinner in the hotel room later. Just take a little break, and I'll take care of the child tonight." My mom glanced at Frank. "I can manage, just hand her over to me once you're done feeding." I shook my head. "I'll give her to you t
I chuckled and reached out to pat his arm, "If I said I liked…" "You'd better not say the next word." Frank's lips clearly pressed down. I fell onto the bed laughing. Frank came around, not giving me a chance to react, and captured my laughter with a kiss. He kissed fiercely, and when I tried to break free, I couldn't push him away at all. The sound of the kiss filled my ears, and I felt utterly embarrassed. Our daughter was still right there! "Fra… Frank…" My broken voice spilled out, but it didn't stop him, if anything, it egged him on further. "Sparrow is here!" I yelled in a panic just as the doorbell rang. "Hello, Mr. Smith, your meal has arrived." Frank looked down, and I followed his gaze. I got up to tidy my clothes and went to the bathroom to fix my hair in the mirror. "Hello, Mrs. Smith." The waiter greeted me with professionalism. After setting down the meal and saying, "Enjoy your meal," he left. I breathed a sigh of relief and went to the be
It was already winter in Jeswood, and this honeymoon was chosen for a place with suitable temperatures. It was not close to the end of the year yet, so it wasn't the peak tourist season here, when Jane arrived at the seaside, there weren't many people. But that didn't stop her from having a great time. Since she was already out, no matter the purpose, the beautiful scenery and delicious food should not be wasted. "Jane, you go get changed first, I'll buy you some iced coconut water." "Okay." Jane nodded and turned to enter the changing room. Just as she finished changing, someone came in, and she didn't look closely while tidying her clothes. But when the person got closer, she caught a faint scent of jasmine. This scent was also present when Zachary was near her. However, Zachary's scent mixed with fir, while this one was very pure. Pulling up her zipper, she walked out without glancing at the person. But the person stood in front of her. "The Colli
But just as she passed by him, he grabbed her arm. Jane pulled back with all her strength but couldn't break free. Her brows knitted together, clearly annoyed, and her words were not pleasant. "Zachary, have you no shame?" Zachary had finished changing and was waiting outside. After a while, he felt that Nina had been inside for too long. Concerned something might be wrong, he walked in. As he reached the door, he overheard her saying she didn't like him anymore. In truth, he didn't even know what to say after grabbing her. And her words left him feeling completely lost. Lost… That word seemed never to have appeared in his life before. "Jane." After a long silence, he called her name softly. Jane's gaze was indifferent. "Zachary, don't make me feel that my past affection for you was something disgusting." Since he Indulged in his true loves actions, there was no need to feign concern for him. Zachary's jaw tightened slightly, and he couldn't he
I pressed down on his hand, which was exploring further, my breath starting to become erratic. I struggled to speak, my words coming out in fragmented bursts. "I'm talking to you… Frank! Don't… no, um…" As night fell, the sea breeze was cool. But the floor-to-ceiling window was fogged up. When my hand slid down, it was covered by a broad palm, our fingers intertwined as he pressed them back against the window. "Eek—" It was Sparrow's sudden noise that hit the pause button. Instinctively, I pulled away from Frank's embrace and ran to the crib. Sparrow had woken up, playing with her little feet, being unusually well-behaved and not crying at all. When she saw me, she smiled, making little sounds as if trying to talk to me. My heart softened immediately, I reached out to poke her cheek and hurried to the bathroom to wash up. When I came out, Frank was blocking the door. I took a step back to let him through, clearing my throat a bit nervously. "Um, i
I poked Frank in back of his waist. He glanced at me without much emotion. I couldn't help but feel amused. ‘So childish.’He kept on play with this little game of pretending to be angry, waiting for me to coax him. When we arrived at the restaurant, Jane and the others were already seated. It was a long table. Jane and Michael sat at one end, while Zachary and Nina were at the other. Nina held an ice pack, trying to place it on Zachary's face, but he turned his head away. The lighting was dim on this side, so I couldn't see clearly, but it seemed like the sides of Zachary's face were different. The left side looked a bit swollen. I sat down next to Jane and asked, "Did you hit him again?" Jane nodded. "He never listened, so I had to resort to violence." I rubbed my forehead. Michael was nearby, smiling innocently at me, making it hard for me to say much. "You handle it yourself, but if it really doesn't work out, let me know." Jane waved her han
Whitney deeply regretted it when Caleb pinned her down in the hot spring pool.She should have just driven the car back slowly. Once they were in the city, she could switch drivers.She could have said she was nervous driving, that she was too tired, and surely she would have been able to avoid all of this.Instead, she had chosen to stay here and do something so embarrassing."This is an outdoor hot spring..."The boldest thing Whitney had ever done was when a man with some power had used his position to take advantage of her.At that time, she had been truly frustrated.She had worked so hard, with blood on her hands, just to survive and live a stable life.Yet, there was always someone trying to make her life difficult.In a fit of anger, she had used a brow-shaping knife to hurt that man.If it weren't for meeting Zachary, she would definitely be worse off than a street rat by now.But Caleb could always break her understanding of things and perform such bold actions."
"Georgina should know him better than I do, since you've known him longer than I have."Georgina nodded. "That's true, which is why I asked you if he's always bullying you. I just know how annoying his personality can be."Millie agreed, "Exactly.""Whitney, I've told you from the moment I met you—if you're being bullied, you have to tell me."But Whitney had never told her anything!She had thought that Caleb loved her so much that he wouldn't do anything to bully Whitney.But today, she realized that wasn't the case."You really have to listen to Georgina."Whitney nodded repeatedly but still said, "He hasn't bullied me, you guys don't need to worry."Some things, even though she admired and liked the Georgina, she couldn't say.If Caleb got angry, she would be the one to suffer. And perhaps it would also affect the Collins family.Since there was nothing wrong between them as a couple, outsiders wouldn't say much.Georgina's earlier remarks were also a subtle probe.It
Millie laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She pointed at Caleb with a chicken leg. "Look at you now."She hugged Whitney, unable to contain her excitement. "You really stood up for me, Whitney."Whitney slowly processed what had just happened and turned to look at Caleb.Caleb, arms crossed, leaned back in his chair with a displeased expression on his face.Whitney nervously bit her lip. "I'm sorry..."Caleb's displeasure deepened. "Why are you apologizing?"Whitney looked at him sincerely. "I shouldn't have joined in teasing you. You're my husband, I should have spoken up for you."Caleb's anger suddenly dissipated.He patted Whitney on the head. "Alright, you've made progress. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."Whitney nodded. "Thank you."The three girls across from them were all taken aback.The one laughing the hardest, Millie, was now staring wide-eyed.She had never seen anyone pursue someone like this.Caleb was unbelievable.Blake, ho
Whitney glanced at the steak and said she wasn't going to eat anymore, she was full.But her gaze remained fixed on Georgina.Caleb was rendered speechless.Georgina noticed this and rested her chin in her hand, looking at Whitney with a smile. "Whit likes me, doesn't she?"Up until now, only Jane and the others had called her Whit.But hearing it from her idol felt completely different.Whitney immediately felt a surge of nervousness. The flush from the hot spring had barely faded, but now it quickly came rushing back.She stammered, unable to speak for a long while.Georgina's smile deepened. "What's so embarrassing? I like Whit too.""That’s enough." Caleb tightened his grip on his knife and fork, afraid he might accidentally fling them."Lucifer's getting old, and he's not satisfying you anymore, is he?"What was she doing, flirting with his wife?Georgina removed her hand from her chin and gave Caleb a big thumbs up."I wouldn't dare to say that word, but you're reall
"If I stopped him from coming in, the things he could do would be worse than what's happening now."Yvonne changed into a green, form-fitting long dress, adjusting her makeup and hair in front of the mirror."Then I wouldn't be able to do business at all."Georgina crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "I can tell you never really intended to stop him."Yvonne glanced at her, her eyes soft and seductive.Georgina reached out and pinched her. "If I were him, I'd want to sleep with you too.""Get lost." Yvonne pushed her hand away. "Then have Lucifer handle it for me. Anyway, I don't have the authority to stop Blake. He’s a member of the Hilton family, after all."Georgina straightened up and became serious. "Are you sure?"Yvonne didn't answer, adjusting the straps of her dress as she walked out of the bathroom.Georgina smiled. "I knew you weren't serious."She draped her arm around Yvonne's shoulder as they walked out together. "Let's have a good talk. His paren
Caleb truly couldn't interfere. In fact, he hadn't planned to get too involved in Blake's affairs.Occasionally, he could play the supporting role, and that was enough.He stepped aside to make way.Georgina immediately left.Whitney slowly blinked her eyes.Georgina was her idol, and she wanted to become someone like her.Someone who had confidence in everything she did, completely unafraid of offending anyone."Let's go." Millie patted Whitney's shoulder. "If someone didn't know any better, they'd think you had feelings for Georgina. Your husband's still around. If he gets jealous, he might just smash this place to the ground."Whitney did indeed like Georgina, but it wasn't that kind of like.It was admiration and respect.Just as she was about to say something, she met Caleb's cold gaze and changed her words."I'm just worried. Blake seems to be in a bad mood."Millie told her not to worry. "Everything has its match. It's just something between men and women.""And wit
The people at Yvonne's place were all professionally trained, and later, when Georgina married Lucifer, Lucifer had even placed several of his men here.Even though Lucifer and his eldest brother were practically inseparable, he still couldn't get any information from them."Mr. Caleb, it's been a while since I've seen you out having fun."He didn't plan to ask about the people he recognized either. After all, he didn't want anyone to know that his wife had left him to come here and have fun."Blake is here. I'm afraid he might do something stupid, so I came to check on him."Everyone who came to this place knew about the situation between Blake and Yvonne.The Hilton family was not one to be provoked, especially since Yvonne was very close to Lucifer's wife.Two major families—this wasn't something they could just casually comment on.In the past, there were some who tried to "save" Yvonne, but they never showed up again.Later, everyone figured that this might be a kind of g
"Mr. Blake, my relationship with you is merely that of an owner and a guest," she said. "You come, I entertain you, but you have no right to stick your nose into my business."She could wear whatever she wanted.Even if some people had ill intentions, that was their problem.What did her choice of clothes have to do with anything?Back when Caleb and the others came to play, in the summer, she wore even less, and no one had acted inappropriately.Anyone who wanted to act out inappropriately couldn't even step foot through this door anymore.Blake didn't know what she was thinking, but just looking at her attire, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.Silently, he put the coat back over her shoulders, and said gruffly, "It's cold."Caleb found the situation amusing but remained concerned about Whitney, so he didn't smile.At least he knew that with Mrs. Scholfield around, they wouldn't dare make a scene.Otherwise, Lucifer would turn this place into ruins.The tall building
“Georgina.” Whitney took the initiative to walk over and greet her. "Haven’t seen you in ages."Georgina smiled. "Everything's ready. Let's change first. We can talk while soaking in the hot springs."Millie led Whitney to the changing rooms.Yvonne mentioned that she had important guests today and would join them later.Georgina nodded.Caleb and Blake bumped into each other at the entrance.Blake had feelings for his family, but perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, his personality had grown colder over the years.It wasn't that he didn't care, it was just that he couldn't be like Caleb, always smiling, with a more lively temperament."Caleb.""Blake."Caleb didn't waste time with pleasantries. There was no need between relatives.He walked briskly inside.Blake followed and asked what had happened.Caleb asked the receptionist where Millie's room was.The receptionist smiled professionally. "Mr. Caleb, I'm sorry, although you hold immense power, I still c
