Jim went to the guest room upstairs. Fearing that he might end up becoming an inadvertent victim of the rage of his sulky-faced big brother standing opposite him, Wade hastily slunk away. "I'm going upstairs to sleep as well!""Who said you could sleep here?" Christian fumed, still unwilling to let him off the hook.It was very suspicious that this guy had arrived in the presence of the little boy."Don't be like this, Chris. Father's gone, and Mother's remarried, which means your home is my home. If you turn me away, where am I supposed to go?" Wade faked an injured expression and slipped upstairs.The servants downstairs, at the sight of the look that Christian just cast Jessica, hastened to take their leave out of force of habit.Christian once again scooped up Jessica in his arms and ascended the stairs.He opened the door, walked inside, kicked it shut and then pinned Jessica to the bed.Looking at him, Jessica put her arms around his neck. "Jimmy's just a kid. Surely you'r
"But your father is also a host, why don't you go to him?" Jessica asked jokingly. "How could I do that?" Jim replied in all seriousness, "He will definitely defend his wife. He won't do anything to expose the fact that my mother treats me badly, he'll cover it up!" "Oh, that’s it." Jessica couldn't stop laughing. Children were straightforward and simple, so adorable. The car arrived at the Bailey’s house. Jessica brought Jim into the door in person. Hammer and his wife were standing waiting for them. And Old Master Bailey was also there waiting. Seeing his grandson coming back, Old Master Bailey immediately called with a big smile on his face, "Come on, give Grandpa a hug!" Jim ran into the arms of Old Master Bailey, and asked in a childish voice, "Grandpa, will mommy blame me?" Mrs. Bailey was sobbing behind them, "Mommy won't blame you. Mommy loves you more than anything..." Seeing the family warmly gathered together, Jessica proposed to leave right in time. "I'd bet
Soon, Jessica passed the audition smoothly.She went backstage to change clothes and was about to take photos of the role.She needed to dress up as a mermaid princess.She changed into the shining mermaid dress. She heard a familiar male voice as soon as she walked out. Someone was chatting with Bacchus.Christian asked Bacchus whether Jessica was suitable for the role.Bacchus complimented Jessica in front of Christian, "Mr. Maddox, to be honest, the first time I saw the Adventure Show I noticed Jessica. She wore slinky sport pants. Her legs are straight and slender. Also, the proportion of her waist meets the requirement to play the role of the mermaid! The mermaid princess' legs must be perfect even without heels!"Although Jessica was in the distance, she saw that Christian's expression changed drastically.Christian listened carefully at first, but his face turned ashen in anger when Bacchus complimented Jessica on her legs and waist.Maybe Bacchus was sunk in his perfect
After hearing the sound, Jessica and Gail turned to take a look.They didn’t know when Grace had arrived. But judging from her smeared eye makeup, she must have been in a rush on her way here. Her makeup around the eyes was always delicate at ordinary times.She served coffee to Christian and ignored Jessica, who was not far away.Christian did not even look at Grace.But Grace didn’t mind his cold attitude. She smiled happily, “I bought this coffee especially for you. My dad said that this is your favorite flavor. By the way, last time my dad said he would like to make another appointment with you to talk about the cooperation. Have you decided the time?"Christian paused, and then his lips moved slightly, "Duke Louis has changed his assistant?"Grace frowned slightly. Christian said impatiently, "The cooperation is between me and Duke Louis. And making the appointment is the business of our assistants. I don't think it’s any of your concern."Grace was thick-skinned. Even the
Since Wade arrived, Gail had been looking at Wade like a young girl in love. When Wade was free, she asked eagerly, "Wade, can you give me a signature?"Hearing Gail's sweet voice, Wade turned to look at her and frowned, "I remember that I gave you a signature last time."Gail suddenly got excited, "You still remember me!"Wade looked at Jessica and laughed, "You are Jessica’s friend. How dare I forget you.""Please give me one more signature. I will never have enough of your signatures," Gail said, handing out her notebook. Jessica gave Wade a wink. Wade didn't dare to refuse her and immediately took over the notebook and wrote some blessings. He said, "I will sign for you every time I see you in the future.""That will be terrific!" Gail was too excited, throwing herself around with Wade's signature in her hand.After a while, she thought of something and asked, "Why is Grace here?"Director Bacchus had decided Jessica would make a cameo appearance. Hadn’t she been ruled out
Suddenly, a tall figure plunged into the water with a leap, as if a light going through the water.Jessica widened her big empty eyes, staring at the man in the beam of light. It felt as if the water was filled with his powerful and steady aura.He looked at her coldly and calmly. Seeing his eyes, she could feel safe from the bottom of her heart.Christian swam towards her quickly, and the light was getting brighter and brighter, like the Venus in the night sky.He quickly got to her side, took her into his arms, turned back, and swam back to the shore smoothly with her.Feeling the temperature in the man's arms, Jessica regained her consciousness. Christian’s face gradually came into her sight. Those long eyebrows were furrowed with worry, and they were so familiar.But she felt her eyelids were very heavy."Splash!"With a big splash, the two finally came ashore.Christian carried her to the shore and made her lie down properly. Her eyes closed tightly, and she didn’t move a
All the reporters gathered around them without delay.Jessica was soaked all over, and her blouse was clinging to her body. Christian took over the long towel in Gail's hand and draped it over Jessica’s shoulders. He then even helped her block the cameras.Gail also realized she should protect Jessica now, so she shouted, "Stop taking pictures! Stop!"Director Bacchus and the crew of the film also came over to comfort them, told them that they have already called a doctor, and asked them to take Jessica to the lounge for the time being...The reporters were blocked outside the door. At first, they were disappointed because they couldn’t interview Jessica who had fallen into the water or Christian who had saved her regardless of his own safety. But they quickly realized something and turned the cameras at another person together."Miss Bailey, did you push Jessica into the water just now?""How is your relationship with Jessica? Do you have any problem with her? Why did you push h
Outside, Alice finally finished dealing with the pestering reporters and went to the washroom to touch up her makeup. She was about to come out when she bumped into Grace who walked into the washroom."Alice, long time no see!"Grace took the initiative to greet."You… are?" Alice was confused. But soon, she suddenly thought of something. "You're Grace?"They had met before at a reception, both brought there by their respective fathers.Alice wanted to leave after greeting her, but Grace followed up. "Why did you push Jessica into the water just now?"Alice didn't expect her to mention this and said impatiently, "It's none of your business."Although Grace was unhappy with Alice's attitude, she still said patiently, "I hate Jessica as much as you do, and even more!"A glint of light flashed in Alice's eyes, hard to notice."Now you know it has something to do with me?" Grace smiled grimly."Why do you hate Jessica?" Alice looked at Grace more politely.The enemy of an enemy
