Jaybie and Lune immediately followed behindWhen she reached the entrance of the company, Zyra bumped into Jordan coming out. She thought it was better to ask Jordan for help at this time, so she said to him, "Director May, I'll have to trouble you. These two are CEO Brooks' children. Let's send them home together?"Jordan had been depressed when he heard from his colleagues that Zyra had a son. Now that she said this, his heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly went to drive.They all got into the car. Zyra remembered that she didn't have CEO Brooks or his wife's number, so she could only ask Jordan, "Do you know CEO Brooks' number?""I only have the assistant's number. Maybe I can call the assistant first.""Don't bother, Auntie!" A crisp voice rang out. It was the little girl's.Lune looked up at Zyra with a smile. "I'll just tell you my mother's number." She gave Sonnet’s number.Zyra wrote it down and dialed the number. The call was quickly picked up. Zyra hurriedly said, "Mr
"You must be mistaken. I'm not his wife!" Zyra said in surprise.May was stunned. She stared at Zyra for a while, still not believing. "Isn't it? Why do you look so alike…""What looks like?" Zyra asked curiously."In the photo, I saw Sir's precious wife's photo!" May replied.These words made Zyra's heart skip a beat. Could it be…"May, she's not Madam. Madam has passed away." At this moment, a gentle voice said.Zyra turned and saw Sonnet walking towards them.When Jaybie and Lune saw their mother, they immediately looked as if they had done something wrong and went up to her.Sonnet didn't blame the two children. She only rubbed heads with her hand and brought them closer to Zyra and May. At that moment, May was still holding Zyra's arm."Ah! Is that so…" Upon hearing Sonnet's words, May hurriedly let go of Zyra and bowed to apologize. "I'm sorry. I was too rash just now."Zyra shook her head. "Forget it, it's all a misunderstanding."May brought Jordan to the living room
Zyra clasped her hands. Twenty-seven years old… Their ages matched!"Why are you asking this?" Sonnet asked suspiciously.Zyra came back to her senses and smiled. "I'm just curious. I was just asking."Sonnet did not believe her but she did not probe further. If Zyra felt that she could say more, she would have.The two of them chatted about something else. May called them for dinner, but Shay kept holding Zyra's hand. She could only shamelessly freeload from the Scott family.Another hour after dinner, Logan returned. It was already nine in the evening, and he reeked of alcohol."CEO Scott, you're quite cool. You just found the child after losing him. You're not in a hurry to come back to see your son!" Sonnet chided softly.Logan chuckled. "I know you and Miss Wilkis are here, so I was not in a hurry."He turned to look at Zyra and said politely, "I have a social gathering today, so I really can't refuse. Sorry to trouble you.""You're welcome." Zyra smiled.Sonnet waved at
"Afraid of me?" Logan sneered. As he spoke, smoke seeped out of his nostrils."No." Zyra shook her head without thinking."Then why are you hiding?" Logan threw away his cigarette and stared at her with a smile.Zyra did not say anything. She did not know what to answer.Logan tugged at his tie. "What I was trying to say is whether it’s okay for us to lie to Shay like this?""I didn't ask you to lie to Shay!""You mean you'll see Shay once a week?" Logan's eyes flickered."If you don't mind, I can do it. I like Little Shay very much too. I'm willing to work hard for his healthy growth," Zyra said as she met his burning gaze."But I'm afraid that he'll take it seriously and never be able to leave you again. What should I do?" Logan took another step forward."I think he'll slowly understand when he grows up," Zyra said. She hadn't thought through this question carefully. She had just said that she wanted to see Little Shay every week because she was bursting with maternal insti
The next moment, she felt a tight grip on her arm and was helped up with force.Only then did she see that the person who had saved her was Logan!She widened her eyes in surprise. "CEO Scott, you…" Why are you here? Did you follow me in?“You left your phone in my car.” Logan opened his palm. In it was Zyra's phone."It seems like you predicted that you would be in danger, so you deliberately left your phone in my car?" He smiled jokingly."CEO Scott, these people are from Second Brother Redford's side." The driver rushed over and looked at the two men lying on the ground.Logan didn't even look at the two. He said calmly, "Take care of it."The driver responded and pulled the two men away, leaving Logan and Zyra standing face to face.Zyra bowed slightly. "Thank you, CEO Scott.""Only saying thank you? Aren't you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?"Zyra looked up in surprise and saw a hint of mischief in his eyes."Then… there's a cafe outside the district. Shall I tr
Zyra was stunned. When she came back to her senses, her breath had already been completely invaded by the man's scent.She pushed the man hard. His chest was as hard as a rock, and he did not move.She punched the man's shoulder again, but the man still did not move. He even increased his aggression.In the end, Zyra gritted her teeth hard and bit. Logan groaned and finally let go of her.Zyra pushed him away and scolded coldly, "CEO Scott, you'd better leave now, or I'll call the police!"Logan looked at her in a daze as if he didn't understand what she was saying. His eyes were red and filled with love and madness."Yasmin, don't leave me, don't leave me!" He babbled. His large hand pressed on the back of Zyra's head, and he kissed her again."Wuwuwu!" Zyra whimpered and struggled with all her might. The man's hands were like iron pincers, restraining her and preventing her from escaping.Zyra's heart was in a mess, and tears welled up in her eyes.Cold and salty tears flowe
What was wrong with her?She was a rational woman. How could she be overwhelmed by a man's deep love for another woman? Could it be that she wanted to be a substitute?Zyra was distraught and rubbed her face with all her might.Crazy, I'm crazy! One night is enough. I can't continue to be crazy!At this thought, she got out of bed and walked quickly to the bathroom.As the warm water washed over her body, she gradually relaxed. At the same time, the decision in her heart became clearer.After getting out, she planned to have a clear conversation with that man. Although she initially resisted last night, she eventually went along with it. So, let's consider it as a mutual physical need and leave it at that. Let's never meet again!When she returned to the bedroom after taking a shower, the bed was already empty. The man who had been sleeping soundly on the bed had disappeared without a trace.Zyra had already thought of what she wanted to say in her heart. She had even rehearsed
The two men turned and Zyra said coldly, "I've already made it very clear to you. I don't know Jonas Walsh. If you come looking for me again, I'll call the police—"Before she could finish, she saw the two men kneeling in front of her!"Miss Wilkis, it's our fault for harassing you previously. We're here to apologize to you today. Miss Wilkis, you're magnanimous, so don't call the police, right?"Zyra's mouth formed an "O" shape.Apologize? What was going on?! These people actually came to apologize and even begged her not to call the police?!If he was really afraid of her calling the police, he shouldn't have come. He wasn't a kind person, so why would he especially come to apologize?She finally found her voice. "Well, as long as you don't come looking for me again, of course, I won't call the police."The two men were overjoyed. "We definitely won't look for Miss Wilkis again in future. Don't worry!""Get up. Let's go." Seeing them kneeling, Zyra felt a little uncomfortable
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
