Blake glanced around the house and asked, “Where’s Ma’am?” Not even his son was at home. Miss Susan said, “Ma’am brought little Winson out for some sun.” Blake grunted in reply. When he walked past the dining area, he saw the red invitation cards on the table. He picked one up but did not open it. “Who sent this?” Miss Susan saw the invitation card, she subtly rolled her eyes white at it. Throughout her entire life, she had never seen someone who was not yet the mistress act so arrogantly as if she was already the mistress. As a housekeeper, it was inappropriate for her to be a busybody about her boss’s family matters, but she could not hold it back anymore. She said, “Miss Jackson came by earlier to send this. She said it’s an invitation for you and Ma’am to attend her mother’s birthday party.” Blake frowned when he heard that, and his gaze looked slightly unhappy. Miss Susan noticed the change in her boss’s expression, so she mustered enough courage and continued, “Sir,
A while later, Blake arrived at the aquarium, but the place was huge, thus searching for a mother and child was not an easy task. Fortunately, the pair he sought was unusual, and he found them after shuttling through a few sections. Jessica carried Winson around for almost the whole trip and her arms were starting to get sore, so she sat down on the bench for a rest. Winson was a cute toddler. Many young girls that visited the aquarium ignored the fishes and surrounded the little guy instead. They played with him and even took pictures with him. Jessica was happy that her son was meeting so many different people. She believed in enriching his world as he should not just limit his circle to wealthy and superior socialites. She was drinking water beside him while little Winson was being carried around like a treasured prize. After being hugged by everyone, the little guy’s pocket was filled with candy, and he even got a cute fox ear headband. Jessica put Winson on her lap and t
Jessica looked at the man in front of her. He looked like he knew the place quite well. Was he a regular? Just before her mind drifted away, Blake stopped. Winson pointed at the big turtle that swam across their heads and giggled. “Mama, look! Big boat!” Blake corrected him, “It’s not a boat. It’s a turtle.” When Jessica looked up, she saw another turtle swimming over. The two large turtles flipped their flippers like rowing oars, and they looked like a couple playing in the water. Beside Jessica was another young couple, and the guy started to sing, “I want you by my side and we will watch that turtle swim in the sea. It slowly crawls out of the water as we watch the waves crash…” The girl smiled and the two of them took a selfie together with the turtle. Jessica was envious of them. She was almost their age but…she had no idea what love or youth was. Before she could experience love, she had become someone’s mother and someone’s wife. Jessica retracted her gaze, not wan
There were a lot of pictures on her phone. She usually cleared her phone when she uploaded the pictures into her laptop, but after a whole day outside, it was filled with pictures again. She scrolled through the pictures and got to the picture of Blake and Winson. Winson’s cute little face looked exactly like Blake’s. He was like a mini Blake. If she was not Winson’s mother, it was difficult for her to imagine that the icy-cold Blake would have looked that cute when he was younger. She started to imagine what Winson would look like when he grew older. Would he be as cool and stiff as Blake? Jessica shook her head as she would rather not think about it. Her son should not be as stiff as Blake, who was as cold as ice all day long. He was not cute at all. Her thoughts strayed further away while she wondered if Blake had ever smiled in his life or if he had been born like that? However, that should not be the case because she had once heard that Blake had a bright personality.
Blake tossed the phone back to Jessica and said coldly, “If you simply edit my face again, you will feel my wrath! Get down from the car!” Jessica quickly carried Winson down, barely escaping Blake’s fury. Miss Susan had the bird’s nest ready, and she served it to Jessica when she came in. After Jessica put Winson back in the nursery, she came out for the bird’s nest and bumped into Blake who had just parked the car. She was frightened as if she had just seen a ghost, so she quickly ran back to her room. She had bearded the lion in his den and dared not come out and be an eyesore to the lion anymore. Even during dinner, Jessica did not come out as she said she was full. Blake had dinner alone, but he did not look annoyed. His lips were even curled into a soft grin. After a bath, Jessica sat in front of her laptop and started transferring the pictures from her phone as usual. When she got to the picture of Blake and Winson, she clicked on it to zoom in. It was Winson’s f
Jessica walked closer to Blake and put the towel on his short, stiff hair, and started rubbing it. He was a strange man indeed. There was a hairdryer in the room which could dry his hair faster and more conveniently, yet he did not like the buzzing noise, hence she had to resort to the old-fashioned way. Blake looked at the laptop screen and said, “Come with me tomorrow.” Jessica’s hands froze. She did not sign anything or whatsoever. All she did was stare at his messy short hair. Did she hear him wrongly? Blake noticed that her hands had stopped. When he turned around, he saw that she was petrified, so he asked, “What’s wrong? Can’t you understand what I said?” Jessica really did not understand what he meant. She thought she heard it wrong, but when she saw his impatient look, she was certain that she got it correctly. Something similar had happened in the past before, and it had traumatized Jessica deeply. There was an event to which the husband and wife had been invi
“Jessica, I thought you always wanted to attend such events.” As Jessica looked at him calmly, her eyes were as tranquil as a quiet lake. She had never attended one before, and she really wanted to. She believed that as husband and wife, they should stand together and share a common goal. However, their marriage started off under difficult circumstances. She would really be naive if she thought he would be by her side. Jessica pushed his hand away and sighed as she signed, “I thought you said I’ll only embarrass you if I attend such events.” Blake found her words difficult to accept and she knew it. Nevertheless, he was meeting her halfway and allowing her to attend this time, so why must she throw a temper now? Blake said sourly, “You will go when I tell you to. I’ll settle the dress for you.” Then, before she could react, he stomped out of the room grumpily. It suddenly felt like he was begging her to go. He decided to meet her halfway, yet she was taking advantage of h
Jessica stepped out, and Blake was stunned by what he saw.In a simple updo held in place by a red hairpin, her curled hair tresses framed her cheeks. Her face was beautiful with arched eyebrows, soft eyes, a dainty nose, and striking ruby lips. She looked alluring yet pure at the same time.While Blake knew that Jessica was quite a looker, but after getting dolled up, she truly looked stunning.…Blake himself donned a dignified tailor-made suit with a quaint little pocket square in his breast pocket. Surely, all eyes would be on him the moment he stepped into the Jackson family’s ballroom.However, this time, the spotlight would be focused on the widely-rumored Mrs. Ferguson. After all, this would be Jessica’s grand debut in the public eye.She walked alongside Blake, stepping into the venue as everyone began to notice her.Silence swept across the crowd.On the other hand, Kim Jackson, who had been enjoying the attention showered on her on her home turf, was eclipsed immedia
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
