Skylar had a sweet smile on her face. She picked up a slice of steak with a fork and fed it to the man while saying something. She looked shy and innocent. This was a stark contrast to the cold and ignorant image that she usually kept up in front of everyone! Sonnet blinked. Previously, Miss Jean had told her that a professor from Skylar’s university had recommended her to work at the center. Was this old man her professor? A thought came to mind. She picked up her phone and snapped a few photographs of Skylar and the old man interacting with each other intimately. “Wifey, what are you looking at?” Maxwell inched closer and asked. He looked in the direction of Sonnet’s gaze and said, “She’s ugly! She’s not as pretty as you are!” Sonnet burst into laughter. “Who’s prettier than me?” “No one is prettier than you! My wifey is the prettiest!” Maxwell announced loudly. Sonnet could not help but think of Jaybie and Lune when she saw the innocent expression on his face.
Sonnet really admired how resourceful Skylar was. She could put on a different act in front of each person. If one method did not work well, she would use another. As expected, her confession was effective for Felix. His voice instantly softened, “I…I’m not capable enough…”“No, I don’t need you to be capable. You just need to be nice to me. I’m satisfied with that! Trust me, I’m just putting on an act in front of my professor. I’ve never done anything with him! You’re still the person that I care the most about!” Felix’s voice instantly grew emotional. “You’re a really nice person, Sky! I’ll do everything within my capabilities to help you out! Don’t mention Sonnet Turner, I can even…” Skylar interrupted him halfway, “Alright, we’d better leave. It wouldn’t be good if someone spotted us!” The sound of their footsteps made Sonnet immediately hide in the corner.She finally stopped the audio recording when their footsteps gradually faded into the distance. Although Felix
The woman was stunned. Sonnet was taken aback as well. She did not expect Mr. Ron’s wife to make such a mistake! Since she had decided to come to the school to expose Skylar, why had she not brought concrete evidence with her? Did she think that she would be able to take down a manipulative woman like Skylar just by photoshopping a few photographs? Mrs. Ron was obviously taken aback. She flipped through the stack of photographs and took out one of the photographs. “What about this one? This photograph definitely hasn’t been photoshopped!” Sonnet inched closer to take a look. It was the photograph that she had taken in the buffet restaurant. The teacher sent the photograph to her boyfriend. He replied to her text soon. “This photograph was photoshopped as well.” Sonnet raised her brows in shock. How was this possible? She had sent that photograph to Mrs. Ron. How could it be photoshopped? “I told you that it was photoshopped, Mrs. Ron. You’ve really misunderstood
Ever since Myles was hospitalized, the children have not had a chance to visit him at the hospital due to various reasons. The children were finally meeting their grandfather. They were extremely overjoyed. Myles had tears in his eyes as he took Lune and Jaybie’s hands in his. The children stood on either side of Myles and bent down to kiss him on the cheek. Sonnet teared up as well. She snapped a photo of this joyous moment using her phone. After helping Myles settle down, she had lunch with Sophia and Lindy. She then headed off to Lux Club to look after Shay. May was coaxing Shay while feeding him. She scratched her head helplessly. “Why is Shay only eating now?” Sonnet asked her. “Shay wasn’t willing to have lunch. He was probably waiting for you to arrive.” Sonnet smiled and went forward to give Shay a huge embrace. She then held his hand and smiled at him while saying, “Shay, it’s time for lunchie.” She took the bowl from May, took a spoonful of braised p
“Oh, haha, I guess older people aren’t used to addressing each other that way.” Sonnet’s face tensed when she answered Maxwell. “We must address each other the same way even when we’re old and gray,” Maxwell said. Sonnet turned around to look at him. She saw the pure and deep loving gaze in his eyes. Her heart skipped a beat as she smiled at him radiantly. “Sure!” Maxwell had not been feeling great before, but her non-hesitant response cheered him up a little. He could tell that Sonnet was feeling extremely uneasy at Harrison Estate. She was afraid that Myles would find out about his relationship with her.After walking out, he intentionally asked Sonnet this question to test the water. He wished that she would change her mind and stop hiding things from him. However, it disappointed him greatly when she still hid things from him. Her expression was extremely unnatural when she came up with an excuse while trying to explain things to him. Nevertheless, he felt much
Miss Gwen nodded and said, “That’s not a good thing. Her ulterior motives are way too obvious. She’s only focused on getting on Shay’s side and not being considerate of his feelings.” “That’s why I came here to suggest that you switch her to another child.” “Alright, I’ll make arrangements in a while,” Miss Gwen said. The door opened. Miss Cheryl, who had previously interned with Sonnet, walked into the classroom. She was surprised when she saw Sonnet and Miss Gwen standing together. She then smiled and asked Sonnet, “Why are you in our class?”“Oh, I was discussing children's education with Miss Gwen. Our discussion has ended now,” Sonnet simply said. She then bid Miss Gwen farewell and walked outside. Miss Cheryl stared at her silhouette curiously…During the afternoon break, it was Sonnet’s turn to clean up the field. She took out a cloth and wiped the fences in the field when an angry voice suddenly rang out from behind her, “Sonnet Turner!”Sonnet turned around and ca
“I promised Shay that I’d bring him out to play this evening. That’s why I came here. I talked to Miss Gwen beforehand. She told me that Shay doesn’t take naps.” “Oh, alright, wait for me. I’ll bring Shay out,” Skylar walked to the classroom with quick strides. Sonnet sneered as she looked at her silhouette. She had put on an excellent act just now. Even Sonnet would have assumed that she had intentionally hurt her. “Is she Shay’s teacher-in-charge?” Logan asked. Sonnet turned around to look at him. “She used to be, but she’s no longer his teacher-in-charge from today onwards.” “Why?”“Because I don’t think she’s suitable.” “You don’t seem to be on good terms with her,” Logan said as he narrowed his eyes and looked at her.Sonnet met his gaze and said, “My relationship with her has nothing to do with her relationship with Shay.” Skylar brought Shay out of the teaching building. Sonnet opened the school gate so that Logan could fetch Shay. Shay jumped into Logan’s ar
“Never mind, Shay can play with whoever he wishes,” Logan said. Skylar looked at Logan awkwardly and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Scott. Shay must have misunderstood…” “It’s alright. Shay has such a pretty teacher. He’ll like you sooner or later,” Logan interrupted her. Skylar was momentarily stunned. Joy filled her heart. Logan had just told her that she was pretty! This meant that he had taken a liking to her! She showed him a shy expression as she said, “You’re exaggerating, Mr. Scott.” “I’m not exaggerating. I never lie.” Sonnet almost burst out into laughter. Logan worked in both the legal and illegal sectors. How could he not lie? Did men always shower women with sweet talk when they were trying to pursue them? It seemed like Logan did not have a good eye for women. He was actually trying to pursue Skylar! Logan reached his hand out to Shay and said, “Come on, Shay. I’ll bring you out to play. Let’s go to the place I promised to bring you lastnight.” Shay w
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
