Moses gestured the bartender away and personally made the drink.

It had been a while since he held a cocktail shaker. Moses shook the cocktail, the sound of ice cubes rattling in the shaker.

“I heard you brought the little mute girl along to the birthday feast held by the Jackson family. What were you thinking?”

Everyone knew that Blake loathed bringing her along to social events. Even when they were on the road, he usually refused to walk with her.

Blake gave him a sidelong glance and impatiently asked, “Why are you shaking the drink with various styles? Can’t you just pour it directly?”

Back then, to go after a girl, he deliberately learned the shaking styles and even ran a pub. Although he did manage to pursue the girl, they broke up within two days.

The girl left, yet the pub flourished. Blake and Frank then invested in the business. The three of them converted the pub into a clubhouse.

Blake extended his arm to grab the whisky, which served as the base for the cocktail

    Just as Moses was about to savor his drink after a long-winded explanation, Frank gave him a kick in the body. His body tilted and the drink spilled on his shirt. Moses dabbed at the spill on his shirt in annoyance. “Ugh, why did you kick me?”Holding the glass to his lips, Frank glanced at Blake’s cold expression. He then looked at Moses sideways and said, “Sister-in-law? Don’t forget you’re still a bachelor.”The three brothers were born in 1988. Blake was born in January, followed by Frank in May and lastly Moses in August based on the lunar calendar.Their personality traits were closely aligned with their birth months. Blake was cold, whereas Frank was relatively gentle. The most hot-tempered person was Moses. Blake had gotten married and Frank was in a relationship with Jane, while Moses was the only bachelor. However, Blake had never introduced Jessica to any of them. In contrast, Jane would often mingle with them. In this regard, only Jane had managed to join their circ

    Which man would ever bring along a mute girl, who could only use gestures, to a feast? She just could not stand still there, could she? It was a shock that she even made a scene at the feast!Blake held his glass tightly. After Frank and Moses chatted for a while, they turned around and gazed at Blake who was absent-minded. They poked him and asked, “What’s on your mind? You have been quiet.” While they were chatting, Blake was engrossed in drinking and his eyes turned red. He glumly answered, “Nothing much.”Moses’s eyes glittered and he said, “I think you’ve fulfilled your obligation to the little mute girl. Earlier on, you were trapped by the marriage because the Scott family nearly faced bankruptcy. Now the Scott family’s all right and your son’s already a big boy. If you persist in this situation, your life will be full of sorrow. Both of you might as well go your separate ways. You aren’t a good match.” Resting his chin on one hand, Frank slanted his body lazily to get

    “Don’t leave. Stay back.”Frank and Moses glanced at each other with a bitter expression on their faces. Why should Frank stay back and be confined in this room with him since he did not even provoke Blake? Moses should have been the one to stay back for running his mouth. Jane was getting off work at around this time, and Frank had wanted to have dinner with her. …In the Ferguson mansion, Miss Susan had served dinner at the dining table and had lost count of the times she threw glances at the doorway.Blake had not returned home for dinner. Even when he got in an argument with Jessica, he would call to inform Miss Susan about not having dinner at home. The clock struck six, and he was still nowhere to be seen, let alone a call. Was he coming back for dinner? Miss Susan headed for the landline and dialed Blake’s number. The phone rang for a long time but to no avail. Jessica held Winson’s hand while walking out of the nursery. When Miss Susan saw her, she said, “It seems like You

    As Jessica opened her eyes in a daze, she saw a pair of twinkling eyes in the dark. She felt a big hand kneading her body with a heavy force. Jessica was startled awake, then pushed the man who was leaning on top of her angrily. This b*stard had bullied her in the morning, and now he is bullying her again!The chest was hard and hot, as though it was a heated metal board. No matter how hard she tried, she could not push him away. Jessica grew infuriated, she raised her fist and thumped the chest several times. Her fingers ended up getting hurt. When Blake came back, he did not see her asleep in the bedroom. He thought she had run out again while he was away. Eventually, he saw her asleep in their son’s room. In order to avoid him, she actually hid in the kid’s room!Seeing her sound asleep, while his anger had been boiling the whole day, not to mention having a stomach ache after downing alcohol, the fury in him exploded again. Jessica’s action of pushing and wrestling with the m

    Kim had completely offended Blake at the banquet. Lady Longhorn treated her with that attitude as well. Kim knew her hopes of becoming Mrs. Ferguson was slim. Despite that, the trouble that Jessica got into at the banquet gave her hope again. When Jessica got in trouble, Blake did not reach out to help her. That implied he still minded the fact that she was mute! Kim acknowledged her own beauty, intelligence, strong capability, and family with a wealthy background ‒ she had almost everything. If she was matched with another man who ticks each of these boxes, then her life would be perfect. Blake was that perfect man, so perfect that even if she knew she had offended or feared him, she would not want to miss this opportunity. After the banquet was over, Kim made the move to approach Lady Longhorn, presented her with lots of flattering comments, and made belittling remarks about Jessica. It was only then that Lady Longhorn changed her attitude toward her. It was by virtue of winnin

    As Miss Susan saw Kim running out in embarrassment, she felt happy and thought of capturing that moment with her handphone for Mrs. Ferguson. She hummed while walking toward the entrance and closed the door.In the study room, Blake was facing his laptop, massaging his temples while on the phone. “I’m not going to the office today. Do take care of anything that comes to you. Important emails are to be sent to my mailbox still.” Joe answered him on the other end of the phone and frowned slightly. Blake would normally insist on heading to the office to work even when he was sick, why did he suddenly not come to work?Could he be severely ill?This morning, however, he heard Jane whining about Frank and Blake partying till late at night, and having to pick up Frank at midnight. While Joe was making guesses in his mind, he heard his big boss asking, “Oh yeah, I’ve asked you a favor for a new nursery teacher. Have you found one?”Joe quickly replied, “I’ve already contacted the nursery

    The kid had lots of toys, whether they were stuffed toys, radio-controlled aircraft, or walking robots. However, he had never owned a kitten, so naturally, he liked it upon seeing it. Blake looked down at him. Cats have sharp claws. Winson was still small and could easily be wounded by them. Besides, the Ferguson family had never reared pets. Blake had no plans to raise a pet now. As he was about to put the cat down and let Miss Susan send it away, the cat suddenly clung to his hand tightly and meowed for attention. Pausing his hands, he looked at the cat’s pure yet frightened eyes, Jessica’s face suddenly took shape in his mind. It seemed as if Jessica had followed a lot of pet content on Weibo. Blake glimpsed the cat that was smaller than his palm. This cat… resembled that woman a little. Both had a fair and small body, but they had a big temper. Winson was still there pestering him to adopt the cat, stretching his little arm out to reach Blake’s arm. Blake glanced at him and

    She smiled at him and lowered her head to sort out the documents scattered on the table.Thomas waited by the side and watched her tidy up.When Jessica was working, she tied up her hair for convenience. Her hairband was a little loose, and some strands of hair fell on her slender neck.Her skin was as white as snow, her lips were like cherry blossoms, and she was immersed in her own world. She looked like an otherworldly person.Thomas looked at her, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He was tempted to go up and ruffle her hair to help her pull out the scattered hair.He pulled his hand out of his pocket and almost walked up to her.Fortunately, he reacted in time when he realized his move.Thomas's heart skipped a beat. What's wrong with me?He shook his head and looked up to see a tooth mark on Jessica's neck.His eyes suddenly sank, and for some reason, a surge of anger built up in his chest.Realizing that he was losing control of his emotions again, Thomas coughed a

    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.

    "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.

    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.

    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.

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
