“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
Watching the Porsche drive away, Old He looked at Jessica, who was walking towards him. He nodded slightly to her, and said with a poker face, "Madam, the lady wants to invite you back to the old house."Jessica frowned slightly, but it was expected.There was such a huge commotion at the banquet. How could Lady Cecilia Longhorn let her off so easily?After a while, the car stopped at the gate of the Ferguson family's old house.Jessica's heart was heavy all the way, and she felt even more stuffy when she got out of the car.Walking through the garden into the main room, she found that the Ferguson family doctor was removing the blood pressure apparatus from Lady Cecilia Longhorn's arm. "Madam, your blood pressure has stabilized a little, but it's still a little high. You must keep calm and don't get agitated anymore."He turned to prescribe some medicine, instructing the Ferguson family's maid to make her take it on time every day.Jessica quietly waited by the side. When Lady C
If she agreed to continue supporting Kim, it was because she was unable to find a suitable candidate for a daughter-in-law. However, since her son had already fired her, there was no need for her to try and persuade her to stay. Since she was fired, then let it be.However, this matter was a reminder to Lady Cecilia Longhorn that her son was serious about it.He was so serious that he would rather fire Kim and let Winson lose a tutor to seek justice for the mute.Originally, with Kim by his side, Lady Cecilia Longhorn couldwait patiently. She hoped that the two of them would be able to develop a relationship.But now, Lady Cecilia Longhorn had lost her patience.She was really afraid Blake fell for this woman, and then it would get troublesome.Lady Cecilia Longhorn continued, "Blake said that he only bears responsibilities to you. But think about it yourself, is your conscience okay with it?""You've harmed my son just for your family. It's been almost three years. If you have
