“I could explain the proposal to you, Mrs. Ferguson, so you can tell Mr. Ferguson later, but…” Kim glanced at Jessica’s lips and went silent, intentionally leaving the sentence unfinished. It might sound like she was being considerate, but the quiet attack was more effective than a straightforward one. Jessica could not share Blake’s burden because she could not even speak! She gripped the spoon in her hand tightly. Kim was not asking for a day off. She was flaunting her malicious intentions. Jessica blinked and smiled softly as she typed: [If you put it that way and I don’t give you a day off, your efforts will go to waste.]If Kim could hide another meaning in between the lines, so could she! After Kim left, Jessica flashed a cold grin. That night, when Blake came back with boxes of gifts, he did not have dinner at home. Now, Jessica knew he had gone to dinner with Kim. ‘The project is your child? Kim Jackson, do you really think the project is your child with Blake? And
Blake looked at her and whispered into her ears, “I told you, you must learn how to flatter me and not make me mad. Get it?” On the next day, Jessica woke up in her bed. After sex in the study room, she had gone back to her room and locked it. Blake had access to the key, but he did not disturb her after his lust was fulfilled. Maybe because the sex last night was exhausting, she fell into a deep sleep and only woke up when the sun was already hanging high in the sky. However, she felt like she had sleep paralysis last night because she felt suffocated when she woke up. She heard a rustling at her door. She believed it was Winson playing outside because her son usually woke up early in the morning. She got out of bed and opened the door. Indeed, Winson was right outside her door, and when he saw her, he ran into her and hugged her legs. “Mama, morning.” The moment Jessica saw her cute son, her heart felt as soft as jelly. She lifted him up and gave him a kiss on his cheeks.
Jessica got fed up with Kim wanting to flaunt her bracelet, so she simply nodded and then went to work. Just when she was about to enter the subway station, an irritating screech sounded in her ears. Jessica turned around and saw a white Porsche approaching her. The driver was none other than Thomas. He drove the car slowly to match her walking pace and gave her a friendly smile. “Where are you going? Need a lift?” Jessica had only met Thomas once at the park before this and she had never seen him before. She was not avoiding him or whatsoever. They just never crossed paths until now. However, after knowing that Thomas was the second son of the Waynes, Jessica felt awkward around him. She did almost marry him after all. Jessica smiled and pointed at the subway station. She made it clear that she was taking the subway and rejected his offer. She turned away and got on the escalator down to the station. Her figure slowly disappeared beyond the station. It was rush hour, thus
In the current society, everyone had a smartphone, from the youngest elementary student to the oldest elders of 80 to 90 years old. All kinds of apps were available for download, and creating an app for the mute and the deaf to help them solve their daily problems sounded like a great charity project. There were existing apps on the market that could convert voice to words, but they were not stable or powerful enough to help the deaf and mute in their daily lives. After hearing Thomas out, she started to understand his intention and motive. “I think you understand the needs and wants of the deaf and mute the best, so I want to ask you to help me. Is that okay?” Thomas looked at Jessica. He was not making fun of her being mute. Instead, he sounded sincere with his request. Jessica knew that the man did not look down on her because, among all the people she knew, he was the only one who praised her sign language. If such an app could exist, it would be very beneficial to the de
Jessica was shocked. When she turned around and saw Blake behind her, she glared at him and reached out to him, trying to get her phone back. Blake grunted. He dodged her hands and lifted the phone to his face, trying to find out what she had been up to. Upset, she stood up on the couch and immediately became taller than him. However, Blake easily dodged her and held her back single-handedly as he squinted his eyes at the phone screen. He was surprised when he finally saw the contents on the phone. He thought that she was chatting with someone, but she was actually jotting down notes. The note was filled with all kinds of words for daily use and they were listed down neatly. Sorry. Thank you. I’m happy. How much is this? Strawberry. Apple. Watermelon. All the words felt like they had been copied from Winson’s illustrated cards. The further Blake scrolled, the tighter his brows grew. “Why are you writing all this? Are you trying to make a label or something?” J
Blake returned to the study and locked the door. He went on Weibo, and what he read made him furrow his brows. There was a newly followed page in the list of supported pages on Jessica’s page: ‘Bright Life Culture Inc.’.… Joe was on a date with his new girlfriend, and they were in the theatre, watching a movie. Just as he tried to hold his girlfriend’s hand, the phone in his pocket vibrated, alarming him. He looked at the caller ID and realized that it was his boss. Joe helplessly wiped his forehead. His girlfriend glared at him and he apologetically smiled at her. “It’s a call from God. I must answer this.” His girlfriend pouted. “You are not working now. Why are you answering your boss’s call? I always turn off my work phone!” Joe was having a headache. His new girlfriend might be beautiful, but she had a short-temper. “It’s just a phone call.” “Who is more important, your boss or me?” Joe looked at his girlfriend’s beautiful face and patted her head. “Stay here.” He t
Joe said, “Since Bright Life is practically a new company, they haven’t done anything major, so their next step is to make their grand entrance into the market and attract attention. Other than some other sizable projects, the company is also working on a charity project.” “Charity?” A charity project was a good way to attract attention and fans. Blake leaned to the side and propped his hand on the arm of the chair. He was rubbing his forehead as though some heavy thoughts were going through his mind. “Right, the charity project hasn’t been announced, but based on what I found, they are trying to build an app for the deaf and mute.” When Joe mentioned the app, Blake squinted his eyes. He finally got the answer that he had been seeking. ‘So, Jessica followed Bright Life’s page and has been doing homework every day because she’s involved in it? Hmmm….’ When Joe saw the ambiguous look on his boss's face, his back suddenly felt cold and the chill ran down his spine. When he
Thomas furrowed his brows immediately and refused to think about the suggested hypothesis. He glanced at Harvey as his gaze looked slightly colder, “You are saying if she’s my wife. Things are already done, so there’s no point in theorizing further.” Thomas did not want to think about useless speculations. Harvey raised a brow at his friend. Once a man had his thoughts about a woman, even if it was just a spark of interest, the man would eventually fall for her like he was trapped in a sinking pit, driving him mad until the very end. He had a hunch that Thomas and Jessica were just getting started. The unintentional meeting was always meant to be the starting point of an ill-fated relationship. Harvey said, “I’m just reminding you that you can’t afford to get tangled with a woman like her.” Aside from the fact that she was already Blake’s wife, her being a mute was the biggest flaw that stopped her from making her presence in upper-class society. Now, whenever Blake attended
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? Did you poop..."Looking at his idiotic look, Blake shook his head.A month later, Pei Xian and Jane's wedding held.After Blake started, Mo Feitong and Lan Li also held a Chinese wedding. 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
