Grace took in a deep breath. She couldn’t possibly always just hide behind Anna and Martin.
She had to stand up to do something for her daughter. Grace quietly tightened her fingers into a fist, but one couldn’t see any nervousness on her face. She hid it very well.
Grace smiled slightly at the camera. Then, she stood up and calmly walked up onto the stage at a steady pace.
No matter how nervous she was on the inside, at least to the audience, she appeared composed, and every single one of her actions was extremely gracious.
It seemed like in the recent two years, she didn’t have any worry or stress and her life was extremely comfortable and relaxed. That calm spirit naturally flowed out of her, making her appear relaxed and calm.
As the audience watched, they genuinely felt that this was how Martin’s wife should behave and look like.
Grace walked up onto the stage. Martin and Anna naturally let her step into the cent
“Then it really is such an honor for us!” Caleb said.“I have to thank this stage too, for giving us this opportunity to perform together again,” Grace said with a smile.Caleb spoke to the audience. “Over here, I would like to inform everyone that this duetRight now, after speaking to martin, Caleb told Anna “Anna, I really have to say, you really do keep everything so low profile!”Caleb’s words made the audience laugh.That’s right, she really was so low profile!“It’s mainly because I don’t want to create trouble for my father. If I were to say it, there would definitely be an endless stream of interviews, or people hoping that they could ask me to get my father to help them out with something. However, I don’t want my family to be disturbed or be put in a spot because of me. Besides, I’m still doing alright on my own. If I work a little harder, I
Grace!Having public displays of affection with another man under the public eye at her age, how shameless!And when he heard Anna call Martin ‘Dad,’ Tomas breath caught in his throat and could not go down. He pressed his chest, and his face went from red to blue.He suddenly lost the ability to breathe. He beat his hands helplessly at his chest.“Tomas!” Stepping out from the toilet, Hellen saw Tomas and immediately went for the bell by his bed.The doctor and nurses rushed in and gave emergency aid to Tomas.“The patient was provoked,” the doctor said unhappily. “Didn’t I tell you before? Don’t provoke the patient. If he suffers from another attack, it’s hard to say if he’ll recover. He has yet to recover and he’s greatly agitated again. Even if he does recover, it wouldn’t be as well as the previous time, and he might even suffer long-term consequences.”
“Who knows when Dir. Jay will be able to get the total viewership statistics.” Grace could not put her heart at ease as long as she did not know the results.“It should come pretty fast today. After all, with Dad’s participation, even Chief views it with great importance and will surely urge them to quickly do up the statistics.”Indeed, not long after they had breakfast, Jay called.Almost at the same time, Chief personally contacted Martin.“Anna, the viewership ratings for our show really exploded this time! It’s all thanks to you and to Mr. Chang. Chief went to call Mr. Chang, but you should also help me express my gratitude towards him,” he said in agitation.“How high is the viewership rating?” Anna was curious as well. Although she had guessed in her heart, she still wanted to hear the real answer to be assured.“It’s 2.72%!” Jay’s voice trembled when
As expected, that very morning, the principal contacted her.Director Mel was still rather troubled but still said with difficulty, “The principal watched that program too. He also knows that he had wronged you back then. So… he wanted me to ask you if you are still willing to come back to the school to teach the cello. His intention is that you can name whatever condition you want, be it a higher pay or fewer lessons. Even if you just come for one lesson each week, that would be alright too.”Actually, the principal was even more straightforward. As long as Grace was willing, she could just receive a salary without having to teach any lessons.As Martin’s wife, she was a walking advertisement for the school!Moreover, through her performance on survivors, Grace had also sufficiently showcased her own cello skills. That she was able to play a duet with Martin and work so well with him without dragging him back at all, that had cle
When they saw Grace, one child shouted, “Mom, Mom, quick, come and look. It’s Ms. Steels!”The child’s mother was still busy in the kitchen and said in annoyance, “Don’t spout nonsense. Why would Ms. Steels be on that show? That’s a huge television station and a huge show.”“It’s really her. Come and look if you don’t believe me!”The child’s mother walked over and took a look. She almost could not believe her eyes.It was really Grace on the TV screen. And the person beside her…The child’s mom stuttered, “That… Isn’t that Martin?”Her child was learning the cello. As a mother, how could she not recognize the legendary?“Yes! It’s him! Ms. Steels is actually Uncle Chang’s wife!”The child’s mother was so stunned that she could not speak. In that moment, she felt instant regret.
As it was Sunday today, both of them did not have much to do, so they went to the family home to visit George’s grandparents. The two elderly people had also seen the latest episode ofsurvivors.The moment Anna stepped into the house, Elizabeth immediately raised her thumb at Anna and said, “Martin’s performed brilliantly this time! With this, I won’t need to ask you how your mother and him are doing again. One look and I can tell that they are doing well.”Anna smiled and nodded. Her eyes were filled with unconcealed joy. Her mom was doing well now and could spend her life with the love of her life. Anna was certainly the one who felt happiest for her.“Yes grandma. Their relationship is really good right now. Both of them are so considerate towards each other and think about each other all the time. They haven’t even quarreled with each other until now.” Anna was smiling so much that her eyes curve
Because of Mia’s strange behavior, even the two elders felt a little uncomfortable and did not really talk to her. Jacklyn was smart and brought Mai to leave with her. Elizabeth secretly told Jacklyn, “Next time, you can come alone. Don’t bring that daughter-in-law of yours here anymore.” “I understand. I won’t bring her over anymore.” Jacklyn did not imagine that Mia could be so petty. Her own husband was busy and had no time for her, so she took it out on other people for no reason. Crazy! There was no chance that she would bring her over again. Anna and George stayed behind, but with Mia’s disturbance, the atmosphere became a little off. Anna did not feel good about how it made Jacklyn leave early as well. As they did not want to disturb the two elders’ afternoon nap, both of them only sat around for a while after having lunch before they left. Actually, Mia did not know that George did not always keep her co
Martin sounded exceptionally nervous on the other end of the call and even sounded a little awkward.“What’s wrong?” This was Anna’s first time hearing Martin speak so timidly and immediately got curious.“Ehem… I made your mom angry. Do you have time right now? If you do, please come back and help me.” Martin sounded so pitiful as his voice got even weaker.Martin had no choice but to ask Anna for help, it was clear that he really angered Grace quite badly. If the two of them were simply having a lovers’ quarrel, Martin would definitely not come and ask her for help.Furthermore, their relationship had been exceptionally good ever since they reunited. They had not even spoken a single harsh word to each other before. It was too difficult to make the two of them quarrel.Now that they actually quarreled, Anna felt that it might really be a huge matter.“I’ll come back right away,&r
One week later, wake of down the media was in uproar by what happened the night before, no one expected the downfall of Cobby family within a night. The family were happy celebrating with the other rich family daughter that was to have engagement with mike.The engagement was set for the other week and it was day for formality where the girls family would come and visit the boy’s family.During the dinner the FBI budge into the house and arrested all the Cobby family that include mike as his company was also involved with shady business. The arrest was to first that they had no time to react at all.With all the evidence against them, no one wanted to associate with them as they were afraid of being implicated. Even the girl’s family cut ties with them.Monday morning was an uproar, with all media outlet reporting about the downfall of the Cobby family. Imelda watched the news with mockery laughter, as she saw the Cobby family being take
He found a good angle in the kitchen, set up the phone stand, and fixed his phone on the stand. Then he realized, “This is not right. If I live stream, then I won’t be able to search recipes on my phone. Wait for a while.”He went to take the iPad. Searched for the recipe and then started cooking. He was preparing sun side egg, sausages and some toast bread with bacon and fruit juice. But all was through Anna’s guidance.Finally, a simple breakfast was completed. He hurriedly carried it back.Anna took a small table and placed it on the bed, then ate on the bed with George.“Try it.” It was his first time making breakfast. It looked alright, but he was not sure about the taste and felt a little nervous.Anna looked at George’s hand, which was placed on the small table. His fingers looked so nice, as if they had never gotten dirty. These beautiful hands had just made her breakfast.Although the meal w
George propped Anna up to sit. Anna still looked like a boneless lump of meat. After she had eaten the candy, her throat felt cold and much better. Her voice sounded more normal.However, it was so painful that even after she woke up, she did not want to move at all. Leaning on the pillow, she tilted her head lazily towards George until it fell on his shoulder. “I don’t want to get up. I don’t want to move.”Anna pouted and said, “Lazy.”George turned his head and kissed her lips a few times. “Then, are you hungry?”“I don’t feel hungry now but I might be later.” She raised her arm and placed it on her stomach.Even the movement of raising her arm made her arm extremely sore.Just because of this, she did not want to get out of bed today. She was thinking about it and said out loud, “I don’t want to get out of bed today.”Who knew that right after Anna
The thing that Anna worried about did not exist at all.Even if she did not wear makeup, she could still look amazing in this grand and exquisite wedding dress.That small face of hers looked exceptionally exquisite with this wedding dress.“How is my wife so beautiful?” George muttered. It was as if he said it subconsciously and had accidentally voiced his thoughts.She clearly heard him say such things quite often usually, but at this moment, George’s careful and gentle gaze coupled with his words made her feel so shy that she could not even lift her head up.Yet George was still staring at her. He even took another two steps back so that he could see her from top to toe at once.Although Anna’s head was lowered, she could still clearly feel his gaze on her. Seeing that he was actually not done staring, Anna finally could not help but look up, feeling a little shy as she said, “What are you still staring at?&r
George and Anna returned home. When Anna was done washing up in the bathroom and opened the door, she saw George blocking her right at the door.He had already changed into comfortable home clothes. It was a simple short-sleeved t-shirt paired with loose and long cotton pants. She could smell the scent of shampoo and shower gel from his body, so he had probably just bathed. He did not style his hair like he did usually in the day.Now that he was relaxed, his hair also lay softly on his forehead, and he looked much younger.He was a grown, mature man who was more than thirty years old, but at this moment, he looked just like a twenty something only a few years older than a teenager, which was a far cry from how mature he usually looked like.George lowered his head and kissed her lips as she walked towards him as usual. Anna was not prepared at all and gasped, taking half a step back subconsciously.Alas, George’s movements were even faster.
The brothers made up half of the groomsmen! It’s like they were not afraid of others knowing that there were single.Old Madan Bells heard her grandson greet her. She then responded angrily, “Bad!”Gabriel and Graviel blinked innocently, wondering what had just happened.Old Mrs. Howells said in an angry tone, “This is a table full of singles. You two are part of this group and you are proud of yourselves? Do you think it’s good to be groomsmen? Married people can’t be groomsmen! Only singles can be groomsmen!”Niel felt speechless.If this grandma wanted to scold her grandsons, she should just target her grandsons. Don’t hurt the innocent ones!Niel felt as though he was being scolded as well!He raised his hand and scratched his nose as he quietly moved away from Graviel and Gabriel.: “…”Liam was unhappy. He was not single. How could Old Mrs. Howells
Finally, martin and Anna stopped in front of George. It was a short red carpet, but George felt that it was too long. Anna seemed to take forever to reach him.Just like in their previous lives, when she took an entire lifetime and a fresh start to be with him…He had waited a lifetime and finally found herMartin recalled what he just said to Anna outside the doors and immediately had a feeling like his daughter was getting stolen by someone. And he instantly understood how fathers felt marrying off their daughters. He couldn’t bear to let her go and didn’t want to hand her over.“Dad.” George reminded Martin to quickly hand Anna to him.Anna turned and saw the reluctance on Martin’s face. And she couldn’t hold back the tears any longer. She was also a daughter treasured by her father!Seeing Martin’s attitude, the guests were sure Martin really saw Anna as his own daughter. He used to help A
Anna had never thought of such a good thing before. In the past, she only thought of getting away from the William family and leading a good life with Grace.In the end, not only did she manage to get away, but she even met George. Then, after that, she thought that getting together with him was already the Heavens taking pity on her after seeing how tragic her past life had been.Yet she did not expect that she could also have a father like Martin. Martin fulfilled all the wishes and dreams she had of a father. Upright, nice, and an honorable role model for his children.“Dad,” Anna called.Martin just felt that how Anna addressed him just now was worth a thousand pieces of gold.“Yes!” martin also answered in an equally heartfelt and cherishing manner.“Thank you, thank you for letting me have a father. Thank you for treating me like your biological daughter. I never thought that I could have such a wonderful
Anyway, George and Anna were already husband and wife. They had simply posed an appropriate challenge for the men when they came to fetch the bride and would consider it a pass once they’d had some fun.They would not really stop George.So when they reached the door to Anna’s bedroom, Nicole and the others did not stop him. They just smiled happily and waited for him to enter.George glanced at them with uncertainty and caution as he asked, “You’re letting me in now?”Nicole tsked and said, “You think we’re letting you enter too easily, is that it?”As she said that, Nicole took out her phone and said, “Then you wait for a moment, I will search and see if there are any other ways to prank the groom.”“Wait!” George immediately stopped her and said, “Please have mercy, please have mercy!”Nicole could not help but laugh and say, “I was letting yo
