Lady Cecilia agreed, “It’s a good idea. Kim started the project for us, and since she’s looking for a job now, why don’t you let her train in the company? It will be a win-win situation.”

Jessica was chewing her food, but it suddenly felt tasteless as if she was chewing on candles. She almost forgot what she was eating.

Robert and Lady Cecilia had completely blocked her out. They were pushing their son, her husband, to another woman and she could not even utter a single word.

‘Maybe this is how it feels like when a thousand ants bite my heart.’

Jessica smirked in her heart bitterly. She should have gotten used to the ignoring, but she still could not avert her gaze away. She scooped some rice into her mouth with the chopsticks and continued munching on it like she was chewing on candles.

Blake put his chopsticks down, wiped his mouth, and looked at his parents. “Dad, Mom, I’ve already arranged someone to take over the tourism project in Spain. Kim has been hired to tutor Wins

    Jessica was slightly stunned. She took the garments and realized that it was really a set of sleeping robes. She shot the man a confused look. Why would she change into sleeping robes for a movie? “Don’t worry. The robes are newly bought. They don’t recycle items here.” This kind of private theatre was not built to earn movie tickets. She did not have to pick a fault in the details. Blake nodded at the room behind her and signaled her to go in. Jessica walked in with the sleeping robe and she realized that the room was equipped with a shower. She then emerged in the sleeping robe to see that Blake was already lying down on the couch. The movie was starting, and the intro music was playing. It was an old movie that screamed of nostalgia. Blake looked at Jessica and reached out to her. She put her hand on his and he pulled her into his arms. The lights in the room dimmed down, so the silver screen became the only light source. Jessica leaned on his wide chest as the room

    Although Robert might not have officially passed the highest position to Blake, he had already assigned his son to handle most of the company’s operations. The high workload somehow gave Blake a headache. Jessica adjusted the collar of her sleeping robe before she knelt beside Blake and gave him a head massage. Her fingers were soft while the pressure on his head was just nice, making him relax his furrowed brows. He held her slender wrists and put them on his waist. Then, he leaned on her shoulder for a rest. Jessica reached out to the remote control and lowered the volume of the movie. Inside the dim private theatre, time felt like it had slowed down. Jessica fell asleep without realizing it, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Blake looking at her from above her head. He knotted his brows slightly. His dark eyes were bright in the dim environment, and they appeared to be glistening. The music echoed in the room, amplifying the spacious feeling several times more as if in

    Ever since the two of them got married, they had sex countless times. She had gotten used to his body, but somehow she was still unable to stay calm in front of him when he was naked. It seemed like she had somehow made him mad back at the private theatre, so why would he have the mood for it tonight? However, if Blake was reading a book on her bed, he must have put Winson to sleep. While Jessica had to face the pressure of being chased out of the family by her in-laws, she tended to love Winson even more. Maybe because of that, Winson loved to be pampered by her. Furthermore, since she was mute, she was a mother who would pamper her child. Blake, on the other hand, always showed a stiff expression. Although he might look strict, Winson felt much safer around him. When Blake heard footsteps, he looked up and put the book aside. He tossed her a piece of towel. “Come here. Dry my hair for me.” Jessica obediently walked over and towel-dried his hair. His hair was much stiffer

    Blake’s furious face branded itself in Jessica’s mind, and she had a hard time going back to sleep again. On Saturday morning, Jessica went to the hospital for a medical check-up. In the past two years, she had slept with Blake countless times but never once showed any signs of pregnancy. She was certain that it was not because of her habit of washing up after sex. Even though she already had a hunch, Blake’s word gave her the urge to get it checked. After all, a hunch would be just a hunch if it was not verified. It would be a totally different story with the medical report in hand. “Madam, your body is fine,” the doctor declared after he went through the report. Jessica frowned slightly. She looked at the report carefully and unconsciously bit her lip. She typed on the phone: [But why can’t I get pregnant again? My husband and I never take any precautionary steps.]Curious, the doctor raised a brow at her. A meaningful glance flashed over the doctor’s eyes and she asked, “Do

    The call went silent for two seconds before Blake said in his cold voice, “Jane, if you want to continue this nonsense, your brother might not have a double bonus this season. He might not even get half of what’s due.” If Jessica wanted to get her body checked, Blake could guarantee that she would get the same result no matter which hospital she went to in Beijing. “Come on, I’m just speaking the truth,” Jane said with a flattering smile. She then smirked in front of her computer screen, but she realized Blake could not see her at all. However, she was practically petting the tiger here. Even if he could not see her, she must smile to show her sincerity. “And…I also told your wife…something else…” “What?” Blake was running out of patience. Acting shy was not Jane’s style. “I told her that one of the reasons she couldn’t get pregnant in the past two years could be you, so, Mr. Ferguson, please forgive me for the white lie!” Jane blurted everything out and hung up the phone rig

    Jessica smiled and signed, “No, something happened at home. That’s why I’m late.” Dean furrowed his brows slightly. “Is it something serious? Do you need any help?” However, she shook her head and smiled at him. She picked up a piece of chicken wing from her plate and waved it. “I’m fine. Go have fun. I want a bite first.” Right after Jessica came back from the hospital, she had accompanied Winson and fed him, thus she had completely forgotten to eat her lunch. Dean glanced at her. As a psychology student, he could tell whether she was facing a problem or not. Her smile looked forced, meaning that she was not happy. Nevertheless, Dean did not say anything as he decided to give her some space. The weather was great. The breeze was comfortable while the autumn sun was warm. Jessica spaced out while staring at the tall sunflower in front of the entrance. On the other hand, after Blake ended the call with Jane, he started to get frustrated for some reason. In the meeting room

    Joe stayed behind him quietly, not daring to say a word. “Tell the director of human resources to search for a new project director. Replace him as soon as possible. The Fergusons doesn't want people who can’t make progress.” “Yes, sir.” “Get me my car keys.” “Huh?” Joe was surprised because he did not know what was going on. Blake paused his steps and looked at him coldly. “I said get me my car keys. Do you want me to repeat myself?” “Y-yes, sir.” Joe dared not disobey the tyrant. He got the order and quickly headed to the office to grab the car keys. ‘What kinda tip is this, big sister? Am I really going to get a double bonus this season?’ Blake started the car and drove home. When he arrived home, Ms. Susan was cleaning the house with the vacuum cleaner. Blake never liked noises in the house and Ms. Susan knew that. When he came back, she noticed that he was in a bad mood, so she quickly switched the vacuum cleaner off. He went around the house and then returned

    Dean looked at his empty embrace as the sensation of her waist lingered in his arms. Her waist was slim. If she did not wear an oversized coat, it might have been even slimmer. He cleared his throat to clear his fantasy away and asked out of concern, “Jessica, I sense that you are having some problems. If you don’t mind, you can share them with me.” While her being Blake’s wife was no longer a secret, it was not exactly public knowledge either. Just when Jessica wanted to reject Dean’s offer, her waist was hugged by someone from behind, frightening her to her core. She looked around and saw Blake looking at Dean in a hostile manner. “My wife will share her problems with me. Thank you for your concern.” Caught by surprise, Dean looked at Jessica and asked, “Wife?” “What’s wrong? Didn’t she tell you she’s married?” Blake squinted his eyes at Dean before his sharp gaze landed on Jessica. He tightened his arm around her waist even more. Jessica frowned a bit, but she maintained

    Jessica opened her mouth first, and everyone also followed to congratulate them. Lan Li looked at Winson and Lian Liang who were standing together and said, "If the time was allowed, we may be able to get a pair of childhood sweethearts."Surrounded by a large group of people, they were all talking about other people's affairs. Today's little protagonist was unhappy and burst into tears. Mo Feitong was shocked and quickly swing his daughter and coaxed, "Oh, baby, why are you crying? Are you hungry?

With the previous experience, the marriage between Pei Xian and Jane continued.Pei Xian got up early in the morning and rode on a white horse, followed by a big red sedan chair, all the way to the courtyard of the Qiaos.After a lively moment, Jane was carried by Joe to the bridal sedan chair."I'l

    This was his daughter, who had half of his blood on him. It was said that the daughter was like her father, and this child would look more and more like him in the future.This was his work.Mo Feitong was very satisfied with the person he created. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. When he held her in his arms and looked at her, he laughed foolishly."Blue carp, look at you. You knead the mud every day. It's better for me to make it for you."Lan Li saw someone coming from the corner of her eye. She secretly stepped on him and whispered, "Shut up!"Blake came over with Jessica and said with a smile, "I heard it. I hope this child will grow up and not be as thick-skinned as you."He looked at the baby. Half a year had passed, and the little girl was growing up to be white and tender, more and more beautiful.Blake said to Lan Li, "It's better to act like you."Mo Feitong glared at him. "Are you looking for trouble?" He glanced at Jessica's belly and said, "Kid, i

    "What if you add his surname?""Mo, Mo, Mo Xiao?" Jane came to her senses and tried hard to hold back her laughter.Indeed, such a good name, coupled with Mo Feitong's surname, had no meaning of blessing at all. No wonder Lan Li disliked it."Even now, the two of them are still arguing over names. Old Mr. Mo is urging to them register. Alas, the baby's completion of its first month of life dinner is about to start, and the name on the invitation card is still empty..."Jane smiled and listened to him.In the past three years, they had no contacts with phone, app, or emails, not even a letter on paper.However, after three years, they didn't seem to have been separated for a long time at all. It seemed more like they had returned to the days when they were together before.Calm, occasionally look at other people's lives, and talk about themself."I think it's a good name. We can use it on our daughter in the future. So can our son."This was the first time that Pei Xian realize

    At the last moment, Pei Xian gave up. Wasn't she resentful?As everyone's faces lit up, Jane's lips twitched. "I can only thank him."She saw him putting on the ring to Yan Ling and could understand him. She could only thank him for agreeing to marry Yan Ling at that time.Putting aside the fact that he didn't have time to think about it at that time, it was the last request of a dying person and her last hope.It was she, Jane, who owed Yan Ling. In this life, she couldn't repay it, and she couldn't give the Yans a good daughter.She should have been standing on the stage full of light, but she disappeared like fireworks in the blink of an eye.Although Pei Xian didn't say anything, Jane understood him the most.He took pity on Yan Ling, thanked Yan Ling, and also helped her to return the favor.Before Yan Ling died, she was accompanied by the person she loved. After spending her last happy time in her life, her parents comforted, at least they did not take it to heart.How w

    If she had not been born, as long as she took the blame for feticide, those people would have been able to live well.They would not know each other. If they did not know each other, they would have a different life.Jane fixed her eyes on Lian Liang and unconsciously tightened her grip, as if she wanted to crush her shoulder.Lian Liang looked at Jane's ferocious face and was so scared that she forgot to cry. She sobbed again and again and didn't dare to cry out because of the pain in her shoulder. She just frowned tightly.They looked at each other for a long time as if they were confronting each other.Jane's throat was stuck. After a long time, her face softened and tears trickled down from her eyes. With difficulty, she said, "But so many people... because of you, because of me, they lost their lives... only the two of us have to bear all of this... ... we have no reason to cry. We have no right to blame anyone...""There is nowhere for us to retreat to..."Jane felt a fire

    The ward was empty. There was only his voice, and no one responded to him.Glancing at Jane, Zhang Yeting knew that he had finished what he wanted to say, so he turned around and walked towards the door.His trip to the United States this time was actually to convince Zuo Yiming to write his will first, but he didn't expect that...At this time, Joe stopped him and said, "You'll report the truth to that person, won't you?"Joe picked up the document, walked up to Zhang Yeting, and said, "Tell him that Lian Liang has been killed by Zheng Zai. His last heir is gone."Zuo Yiming yearned for someone to inherit the kingdom, and in the end was told that there was no one to do so. It was the greatest blow to him and also the greatest irony."The sins of the Zuos can't be redeemed even in hell!"..."Joe, the girl is crying again. We, we can't handle her anymore!"Father Qiao called Joe out with a panicked look on his face.Lian Liang's so-called grandparents were just strangers in f

    She had worn a wedding dress and married him...Pei Xian's eyes burned. He clutched her hand tightly and swallowed it slightly. He nodded. "Alright."Pei Xian asked Lin Feiran to go buy a diamond ring immediately. Jiang Shu hurriedly took out the ring from her bag and said, "No need. There's one here."Pei Xian had bought the diamond ring at a jewelry shop. Yan Ling had said that the engagement would be canceled, but she was reluctant to throw it away and had been carrying it with her all the time.Pei Xian took the ring and slowly put it on her finger with trembling hands.Yan Ling's fingers were red and swollen. After wearing the ring for a long time, she was satisfied. She looked at Pei Xian with her eyes shining, and a teardrop fell from the corner of her eye.Outside the ward, Jane watched blankly as Pei Xian put the ring on Yan Ling's finger and saw her trying her best to put on a happy smile.The doctor's regretful words kept echoing in her mind: "Miss Yan's injury is so

    Zheng Zai's car exploded. He was severely injured, his spleen ruptured, and his back was seriously burned. He was temporarily sent to the intensive care unit. Whether he could survive the 24 hours or not depended on his luck.Yan Ling's situation was similar to Zheng Zai's, and she was in a critical situation.In comparison, Lian Liang's situation was the best, but she had a fracture and a concussion.The dark clouds covering the sky finally came down.Jane had no idea how she came to the morgue to take the last look at the couple.She fell to her knees with a plop, but there were no tears in her eyes at all.She gazed at the corpse covered in white cloth and did not dare lift it.Joe walked up to her slowly, lifted the cloth, and took a look. He closed his eyes and covered the white cloth with a solemn expression.Jane's stomach twisted, but she couldn't spit it out. Her stiff body was out of control, and she had to rely on Joe's support.When she stood up, her last bit of st

    Blake frowned. They had already returned to Shujinyuan. How could there be a car accident?However, the location of the incident wasn't far from Shujinyuan, which meant that the Lians wouldn't be coming out until they arrived at Shujinyuan."Mr. Ferguson, you seem to know something. Who is Zheng Zai? Why did he hold the little girl hostage?"The police kept asking. Blake looked calm and said, "Captain Li, the situation is chaotic now. We'll investigate after the operations are over. What do you think?"The police looked around. There were nurses coming in and out, and someone was stopping the media from coming in for an interview. It was indeed chaotic, so they agreed.Blake gave Pei Xian a look. The two of them walked to a quiet corner, and Joe also came over.Blake asked, "Is Zheng Zai from Zhang Yeting's side?""He was behind this?"Joe pursed his lips and frowned. Jane had been worried that the other party would take advantage of the chaos to harm the child, but no one had
