I don't believe it, Sonnet thought. I just want to see how you act!"As we were discussing, we suddenly thought of a good way to solve the problem! So the meeting ended early. I can go home soon.""Oh, that's great. I'll wait for you to sleep with me!" Sonnet deliberately replied happily.After hanging up, Maxwell called Howard. "Hurry up and get the makeup artist to come to the hospital…"Half an hour later, Howard looked at Maxwell's arm and gasped. "It's so red and swollen. Even the makeup artist probably can't make it look normal for you. Stop fooling around. Just find an excuse and don't go back!""No, I promised my dear wife that I would go back. Otherwise, she will be suspicious."Howard rolled his eyes. "Then tell her the truth! Sooner or later, she'll find out your secret. It's better to be straightforward.""No, I'm scared!"Howard dug his ears and revealed an incredulous expression. "What did you just say, Maxwell? Are you afraid?"Maxwell quickly denied it. "I'm no
The baby fell asleep as she ate. Sonnet placed her on the small bed and got up from the bed. "Hubby, shall I take a shower with you?"In the past, Maxwell would have immediately helped Sonnet take off her clothes, but today—"Honey, I think you're tired too. Go to bed early. I'll shower myself.""I haven't showered either. Let's go together." Sonnet, who used to find Maxwell clingy, was exceptionally enthusiastic today. As she spoke, she came over to take off Maxwell's shirt."Hey, hey, hey, there's no need. Wifey, sigh… Wifey, how can I let you tire yourself out?" Maxwell sighed.Why was his wife so enthusiastic today? He was really afraid that he would not be able to cover his injuries."If you can't bear to tire me out, then let me enjoy myself. Help me wash up." Sonnet deliberately winked at Maxwell.Maxwell wanted to, but his arm would hurt if he moved it a little. How could he bathe his wife?He sighed in his heart and placed his hand on his forehead, shaking it twice.S
Maxwell's body stiffened. He endured the pain and allowed Sonnet to squeeze him.In the beginning, Sonnet was quite relieved when she squeezed him, but when she saw how he endured the pain and did not stop her, her mood gradually worsened.Even at this point, this bastard still didn't tell her the truth? How long was he going to lie to her?!She let go of Maxwell's arm and turned to walk to the bathroom. "I'm tired. I'm going to take a shower.""Honey—"Bang! She didn't listen to Maxwell and slammed the bathroom door shut.Maxwell's face felt slapped by the door. He leaned back. Why did he feel that his wife was in a bad mood? She had been so enthusiastic about giving him a massage just now. How could she be unhappy after just a few massages?He thought for a while in a daze. After thinking about it, he felt that his wife had almost been kidnapped in the afternoon and was frightened. That was why she was so moody. It seemed that he had to comfort her.However, Sonnet didn't giv
Maxwell sat up in shock from his sleep. He covered half of his face and looked at Sonnet in a daze."Wife… Wifey… What are you doing?" he asked in confusion.Sonnet covered her face and started crying. "I can't live like this anymore!""Huh? What's wrong, honey? Why can't you live your life?" Maxwell panicked."I feel there's really no point in living. I just have to go to work every day, breastfeed, and take care of the child. When the child grows up, I'll be old and deserve to die," Sonnet said hysterically."If you don't want to go to work, then you won't go to work! If you don't want to breastfeed, then let the baby drink milk powder. If you don't want to take care of the children, then don't take care of them. Wifey, if you find anything interesting, then go do it!" Maxwell quickly coaxed her.He felt that his wife was a little abnormal today. Ever since they got married, he had never seen his wife so hysterical! Could it be that she was frightened because she was almost kid
"Don't snatch my knife. Just let me die. I can't live anymore. I feel terrible!" Sonnet's hair was in a frenzy as he snatched the knife from her.Ignoring the pain in his arm, Maxwell threw away the knife and pulled Sonnet into his arms tightly."Honey, what's wrong? Honey…" His voice and body were trembling at the same time.Sonnet seemed to have become a woman he didn't know!"Ahhh! Wuwuwuwu!" Sonnet struggled in his arms and cried bitterly.Maxwell did not dare to slack off at all. He hugged her tightly, afraid that she would turn into smoke and disappear if he was not careful.He didn't sleep in the latter half of the night. He endured the pain in his arm and hugged Sonnet the entire time.On the other hand, Sonnet fell into a deep sleep after crying.When he woke in the morning, Maxwell's eyes were pitch-black while Sonnet was in high spirits.Seeing that Sonnet was dressed and about to go to work, he walked over to coax her. "Honey, how long has it been since you checked
Maxwell stopped working overtime and went home early after work to pick up her wife.After picking up his wife, he looked at her expression and did things. Whenever she looked a little unhappy, he would immediately coax her.At night, Sonnet returned home. Other than breastfeeding, she didn't need to do anything else. Even the water for brushing her teeth was poured for her by Maxwell.For several nights in a row, Maxwell didn't sleep well. He hid everything at home that might be used to commit suicide. He was afraid that Sophia and Mrs. Wilson would be worried, so he did not let them see and waited for everyone to fall asleep before he started hiding the things.For the next few days, Maxwell was like a mouse that lived under the gaze of a cat. He did not even dare to breathe loudly as he coaxed her wife.He wanted Sonnet to go to the hospital for a checkup, but she was about to flare up at the mention of going to the hospital. After a few times, he didn't dare to mention it agai
The surveillance camera showed that Sonnet had left alone. After walking into a small path with broken surveillance cameras, she disappeared. It seemed that she had not been kidnapped.However, Sonnet's actions were too strange, making him feel uneasy.After about an hour, Lindy forwarded a message to his phone. It was a text message: "Lindy, I feel so uncomfortable. I feel like I can't live anymore. I want to see the sea. Don't miss me."He immediately called Lindy. "What did you forward to me?""Sonnet sent me a message just now. I immediately called her, but the call couldn't be connected. I suspect that she took out her phone card." Lindy sounded nervous."Let me check her phone location." Maxwell immediately hung up.He asked Carter to check the location, and Carter quickly found it. "CEO Maxwell, Madam's phone's location is on Golden Beach."The Golden Beach was a scenic area near the sea in Harbor City.Maxwell's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately drove to Golden
After about an hour, there was news.Carter's men came to Maxwell and opened their hands. There was a necklace in their hands.Seeing the necklace, Maxwell jumped. "Why is this necklace with you?"This necklace was a couple's design that he bought when he brought Sonnet to the launch of Eternal Jewelry's new product. Ever since then, Sonnet had been wearing it and never took it off."In the sea… We found it. Our people dived into the sea and saw the necklace stuck in the crack of the reef, so we picked it up…" Carter reported in a low voice."Which reef?" Maxwell immediately asked.Carter was silent for a moment before he turned around and pointed into the distance.Maxwell gasped when she saw the reef.The reef was far away from the coastline, and only a sharp point was exposed. If one wanted to stand on the reef, they would have to swim over."How did it fall so far away?" Lindy asked softly.Before he could finish his sentence, Maxwell rushed into the sea. Carter and Lewis
The young ladies below gathered together and discussed animatedly. As they spoke, they covered their mouths and laughed.Young Master Gunnnn didn't care what others said about him at all. He only focused on the bouquet in Sonnet's hand.Not only Sonnet's bonnet but also Lindy's and Zyra's. He wanted them all.Lindy was waiting beside Sonnet. When she saw Hayden's focused expression, she couldn't help but laugh. "Why? Hayden hasn't successfully won over Suki yet?"Sonnet smiled and replied, "That's right. It's said that every time Suki agreed to register their marriage the next day, someone would die the next day. Later on, Suki didn't let him talk about registering their marriage.""Young Master Gunn is really infatuated!" Zyra sighed.Lindy rolled her eyes at her. "He's not infatuated at all. Among those men, he's the most flirtatious. Zyra, you don't know what Hayden was like in the past. He went to the nightclub almost every night and changed his girlfriend every week! He boas
Sonnet never expected her father to be the son of a wealthy family in North City!More than twenty years ago, he met her mother, Leah Turner, and they fell in love. Leah was a female university student from a rural area. There was a huge disparity in family status, and the Turner family did not agree to this marriage.Myles’ mother had passed away early, and his stepmother did not treat him well. Therefore, when Myles was angry with his father because of Leah, she added fuel to the fire, causing father and son to fall out.Myles severed his ties with the Turner family and returned to his hometown with Leah, becoming a language teacher in the village.Not only that, but Sonnet also knew that Myles had studied under Mr. Oddie when he was in North City. Back then, his pen name was Mr. Edelweiss. In other words, the Everglow that Sonnet gave Will Brooks was painted by him!Some time ago, Will needed money so he sold the Everglow painting on the market. Coincidentally, a collector from
"What's going on?" Sonnet asked.Zyra held Sonnet's hand. "Actually, we're family."Sonnet was puzzled, but Logan smiled and said, "Zyra is Shay's biological aunt. The test results are out today, proving that she is indeed related to Little Shay!""Ah… What's going on?" Sonnet was very surprised.Zyra held her hand and explained, "Before my mother passed away, she told me something. She said that I had a biological sister. Three days after she was born, she was secretly carried away and sold by my patriarchal grandmother. Later, my mother was pregnant with me and never said anything for so many years. She only told me this before she passed away."She said that she asked around later and said that my biological sister was sold to Harbor City. This was also why I chose to accept the designer position at Eternal Jewelry back then. I always wanted to fulfill my mother's dream before she passed away and find my sister in my lifetime.Back then, when I saw Yasmin Finch's photo, I susp
Hayden immediately became alert. "You're too tired. Rest first. I'll pick you up for supper."Suki didn't refuse. He immediately drove off.There were no cars in the middle of the night, so he arrived in ten minutes. After calling Suki, she came out in less than two minutes. She looked very tired as if she couldn't even walk.Hayden immediately went out to open the door for her. As soon as she got in, she leaned against the back of the seat and sighed."Are you tired?" Hayden asked."That's right. We went to the scene first and then dissected it without stopping. The corpse this time was a little complicated. We didn't even have time to eat."Hayden's heart ached when he heard her words. He quickly handed her the supper. "Hurry up and eat some."Suki didn't take it. "I don't have much of an appetite now. Let's eat later. I'll rest for a while."Hayden started the car. "Take a few bites first. Don't starve yourself.""It’s already ruined." Suki smiled bitterly. "When I first st
"If you have something to say, just say it." Suki looked ahead."Well, when we were eating just now, what did you think when you saw that they were getting married?""I don't think anything of it. Everyone's life is different," Suki said calmly.Hayden stole a glance at her. "Haven't you ever thought—"When he saw Suki turn to look at him, he choked on the second half of his sentence."What are you thinking about? Marriage?" Suki chuckled. "What's so good about marriage? Once you get married, you're trapped. You can't even change to another man."Hayden immediately felt stifled. This woman still wanted to change men…No, how could his woman think of changing men? He had to work harder so she didn't have the time or energy to think of changing men.Or rather, he should trap her. Once she was tied up, she would not be able to escape."Besides, I'm very busy with work and my profession is scary. I don't think anyone can accept me even if I wanted to," Suki continued."That won't
Amidst the laughter, Marcus clapped his hands and said, "Lindy and I have already set a time for our wedding. You have to help!"Logan waved his hand. "Count the two of us in!"Everyone was stunned.Hayden spat at Logan. "What are you doing here?""What’s wrong with joining in the fun?" Logan rolled his eyes at him and threw down his red booklet. "I just registered my marriage!"Everyone was in an uproar and started talking at once.Zyra blushed and lowered her head. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. "Congratulations!"She looked up and saw Sonnet.Sonnet smiled gently. "Congratulations on finding a good man."Zyra stammered, "Madam Brooks, don't you think it's too fast?""To be honest, the first time I saw you, I felt that you and CEO Scott are too compatible. It doesn't matter if someone is fated or not. It's fine as long as their hearts are connected," Sonnet replied with a smile.Zyra also smiled.As they chatted and laughed, they came to an agreement. Maxwell and S
Sara nodded mechanically. When the two of them got into the car, she remembered to shout, "CEO Scott, lunch today is already very good. There's no need to treat us anymore!"Logan smiled and said to Zyra, "Your colleague is an honest girl."The car started, but it was not in the direction of Zyra's house."Where are we going?""I'm taking you to see someone.""Who?"Logan smiled but did not answer. "You'll know when you get there."Half an hour later, when she saw the cemetery, Zyra knew who Logan had brought her to meet.She followed Logan silently to Yasmin's tombstone. She actually felt a little guilty, as if she had stolen someone else's position.Logan placed the white rose in his hand in front of the tombstone and said softly, "Yasmin, I'm going to marry a wife. You won't be angry, right?"Zyra looked at Logan in surprise. Marry a wife…She had only slept with him twice, and he was already going to marry her?The surroundings were silent except for the sound of the br
"Isn't your man handsome?" Logan closed his eyes and suddenly spoke.Zyra was stunned for a moment before her face turned red. She turned around shyly."He's just like a bandit. What's so handsome about him…" she said contentiously."Bandit?" Logan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zyra's smooth shoulders.He recalled the taste of last night and his heart began to stir again."I was a gentleman last night. You haven't yet seen your man acting like a bandit!"As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced…Zyra regretted saying those words and inciting a new round of "war". She did not expect that fellow's words to be true. It turned out that he could still be a little more "bandit"!As they left, she hugged him and asked, "Who am I?""You're my Little Zyra, Little Zyra."Zyra was completely relieved.That morning, Logan drove her to the office.In the afternoon, Zyra was about to go for lunch with her colleagues when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Then, Sara brought a
There was an indescribable melancholy in her heart, sour and bitter."The investigation might be because of my wife, but it’s not about helping you," Logan replied as he looked at her face.At this moment, he was very clear that the face in front of him was not Yasmin's face at all. Other than the fact that she looked similar to Yasmin, the rest of her features did not look alike at all.She looked weak, but she was very strong on the inside. She looked heartless, but her emotions were very fragile. She was like a blade of grass in the wilderness, growing tenaciously, growing the toughness that belonged to grass and the beauty of grass.She and Yasmin were two completely different women!"Then you're helping me…" Zyra asked softly. When she asked this, her heart was beating wildly."Don't I have a favor to ask of you?" Logan smiled. "I wanted you to see my son once a week."Wasn't it because he wanted her to pretend to be his son's mother?Zyra was a little disappointed, but Lo
