When he returned that night, Logan was covered in new injuries. However, when he opened the door and saw the girl standing in front of the porridge pot with an innocent smile, his heart suddenly felt full.As usual, the girl skillfully applied the medicine to him. Logan looked at her beautiful profile quietly.During the day, he asked about the girl's background.The girl's name was Yasmin Finch. She was 18 years old and was the only daughter of Old Finch from the old boxing club. Old Finch used to be an underground boxer, but he couldn't do it anymore when he got older. He even became addicted to gambling and owed the company a lot of money. In the end, he had no choice but to send his daughter over to repay the debt.It turned out that the reason she was so proficient in applying medicine was that she used to apply medicine for Old Finch since she was young.It was said that this girl was autistic and did not know how to speak or socialize with outsiders. She could barely take c
On the way back, Logan whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I'll work hard to earn money. I'll buy you that piano sooner or later!"Yasmin buried her head in his arms and rubbed against him.Logan realized that she was not close to anyone except him.She had an inexplicable trust and attachment to him. She listened to everything he said and followed whatever he did. She was never picky or demanding. She even cooked a pot of porridge for him every day and waited for him to come back.Logan, who had never felt at home, rushed home every evening after finishing his work.Although it was just plain porridge in front of them, Logan felt his heart fill up more and more. He could hardly imagine what would happen to him if she left him. He felt that he would go crazy.A week later, Logan returned home exceptionally late.Pushing open the door, he saw Yasmin rushing over with an urgent expression on her face. She was probably waiting for him anxiously.She held Logan's arm, and he hissed
That night, Yasmin went into labor.In the storm, Logan drove her to the hospital.Her pregnancy was an accident. Logan had no intention of having children.Firstly, his childhood trauma made him not confident in raising a child. Secondly, he was afraid that the child would increase Yasmin's burden. Moreover, he and Yasmin had not had enough alone time together!Unexpectedly, ten months ago, Yasmin got pregnant. Initially, Logan wanted to abort the child, but Yasmin seemed to sense the little life in her womb and refused to go to the hospital.Logan's heart softened, and he kept the child.As the baby developed, Yasmin's maternal instincts emerged. Every day, she would hold Logan's hand and stroke her belly.Gradually, Logan began to fantasize about a family of three being intimate.Finally, that night, Logan hurriedly drove her to the hospital.The rain and wind were strong, so his vision was not very clear. Logan was focused on driving when a car suddenly approached from the
Logan turned around and saw Mikel getting into the car through the windshield and pressing the iron rod against Yasmin's swollen abdomen."All I have to do is smash it down with my stick and your woman's belly will be finished!" he said with an evil smile.Logan's expression was cold. "How dare you!""Let's see if I dare! You hid your woman so well. Others might not know her background, but I, Mikel, know very well that this woman is your weakness!"He chuckled and slowly raised the iron rod, looking like he was about to strike down.Logan's heart ached as he shouted, "What do you want me to do?!""Put down your iron bar!" Mikel said.Logan immediately threw away the iron rod.The surrounding hooligans immediately raised their iron rods and hit Logan.The iron rods rained down, and Logan didn't dare to resist. After a while, his face was swollen and he was covered in injuries.Mikel waved his hand to stop his men and said to Logan, "Now, pick up your iron rod and break your r
"No, you're not alone. You have a son. He's the crystallization of your love with Yasmin. It's a continuation of your relationship." Sonnet, who had recovered from Logan's tragic love story, comforted him softly.Logan retracted his gaze from afar and looked at his son, who was playing alone under the pine tree. He smiled bitterly. "He inherited Yasmin’s autism…""Shay's slowly getting better. He's a lot better than he used to be. And when I first met Shay, the only person he trusted was Dad."Logan smiled gently. "I hope he grows up happily and becomes a happy person.""Yes, Little Shay is so cute. He definitely will!" Sonnet said.Logan put away the photo in his hand and carefully placed it close to his chest.He called out to Little Shay from afar and Shay ran over. Logan stood up and held Little Shay's hand. He said to Sonnet, "Shall we go together?"Sonnet tilted her head and looked at the sky. "I've unknowingly stayed for so long."Logan smiled. "Go back quickly. Old Broo
"That's indeed very affectionate. Such a man deserves a good woman." Sonnet sighed deeply.Maxwell nodded and touched the tip of her nose. "See if there are any good women and introduce them to him.""Of course." As Sonnet spoke, she suddenly thought of something. She reached out and grabbed Maxwell's ear. "Huh? There were hostesses at social events. In that case, you also let hostesses sit on your thighs?"Maxwell quickly denied it. "How is that possible? I'm colder than Mr. Shaw. Those hostesses get cold when they get close to me. They don't even dare get close!"Aloof…Sonnet looked at Maxwell's fawning expression. How could this fellow be related to the word ‘cold’?Little did she know that her husband was very aloof outside.Sonnet experienced this coldness the next day.The next day, Maxwell brought Sonnet to a place.When she got out of the car, Sonnet was surprised. "Why did you bring me to Eternal Jewelry?"They were standing in front of Eternal Jewelry's office buil
Why did this girl look so much like Yasmin?Seeing Sonnet in a daze, the girl thought that her coffee had scalded her. "Are you alright? Did the coffee scald you?"Only then did Sonnet come back to her senses. She shook her head and smiled. "No."The girl heaved a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're fine. I'm really sorry about what happened just now."Upon seeing this, Jordan hurriedly came over to smooth things over. "Zyra, these are CEO Brooks and Madam Brooks!"The girl bowed slightly and said gracefully, "Hello, CEO Brooks and Madam."He then introduced her to Maxwell and his wife. "This is Zyra Wilkis, the new designer that I mentioned to CEO Brooks just now."Zyra Wilkis…Sonnet was a little disappointed. She had a different surname from Yasmin. From the looks of it, she probably had nothing to do with Yasmin.However, they did look a little alike. She still did not give up and wanted to find out more about Zyra.She thought to herself but didn't show it on her face
"That's true." Maxwell agreed. "Then forget it."Sonnet nodded and looked out the window.Zyra, who was in the company, had no idea that she was being discussed by CEO Brooks and Madam Brooks. She was looking at her newly designed manuscript.Recently, she had been bursting with inspiration and had drawn many design drafts, but she felt that something was missing.Jordan came in. "Zyra, are you all right tonight?""Oh? I'm fine. What's wrong, Director?" Zyra snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Jordan."Our company has a team-building event today. It can be considered a welcoming meeting for a new designer like you.""I don't think that's necessary, Director. I—""It's a company tradition. You can't refuse!" Jordan interrupted her.Zyra was silent for a moment before she smiled and said, "Alright, I'll attend on time. My treat tonight.""There's no need. The company has a special reimbursement for this." Jordan smiled. "You just have to come."After Jordan left, Zyra sm
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
