Sonnet’s heart skipped a beat.She never paid attention to this question before. Whenever Maxwell was around, she would not dare to interact with Jaybie and Lune too much in case he noticed something.Now that her father suddenly mentioned this, she tilted her head and recalled Maxwell and Lune’s eyes. They did look pretty similar.“So, that’s why they say fate is magical. Why did they become such good friends? Maybe it’s fate,” Myles said.“Yeah,” Sonnet chimed in.Fate was great at playing jokes. It even made her silly husband best friends with her children. Was this a blessing from fate so that her husband could get along with her children in the future?If fate gave her this blessing, then she wanted to ask for another one. She wanted her father to accept her silly husband!After talking to her father, Sonnet went back to the Brooks household while Maxwell was catching dragonflies with the children.Mrs. Wilson was helping chef Shaw to make food. The house smelled delicious
His eyes were dark and deep, bottomless.His handsome face and amazing body, in addition to his unsmiling expression and intoxicating voice, exuded the air of a domineering CEO.If Sonnet did not know about Maxwell’s condition, she would think this man in front of her was a tall, handsome, and rich CEO.After she blinked a few times, Sonnet burst out laughing. Then, she pushed Maxwell away. “What are you doing? Why are you doing that? If I didn’t know you, I’d think you were a domineering CEO.”Maxwell smiled. ‘I am a domineering CEO, okay?’However, he still had to pretend in front of his wifey.He scratched his head stupidly and grinned at her. “What does that mean?”Sonnet giggled and answered, “A pretentious rich person.”Maxwell was speechless.Sonnet then asked with a smile, “Who taught you how to say that?”Even though she was asking that, she knew who taught her. Who else would it be? Mrs. Wilson was the only one at home who would do everything she could to teach Maxw
Sonnet needed to take care of Shay during the weekend. When she went to Lux Club, she ran into Logan.Sonnet could not stop herself from being nosey as she recalled what happened to Skylar. “Mr. Scott, have you looked at the trending tweet?”“I’m not interested in that,” Logan answered with a cigar dangling between his lips.“Cough cough, it’s about Skylar.”Sonnet figured he should be interested if she mentioned Skylar.“Who knows,” he said without batting an eyelid, “I am not interested no matter who it’s about.”He was worried the smell of his cigar would make Shay uncomfortable so he planned to move to the study.Sonnet raised her voice. “Skylar is Miss Sky who asked you out for dinner that night!”“Oh.” He did not even turn around.“What happened after you had dinner with her? Was it fun?” Sonnet asked.“I don’t remember,” Logan answered with his back toward her and walked into the study.Sonnet stood on her ground and exhaled after a long while. Men were so heartless a
“Thank you!” Sonnet said sincerely.Samson waved his hand and said, “You’re too kind, Miss Turner. You’re one of us.”“I didn’t do anything. I only took care of Shay for a few days.”“All of us, including Fatso and the others, could tell you’re genuinely nice to Shay. We’re all Mr. Scott’s brothers, so Shay is like our child. Anyone good to him will be one of us. We will also be good to them,” Samson said straightforwardly.To be honest, this was not the only reason. They could also tell that Sonnet was one of the rare women that did not want to date their boss after getting into contact with him.Other than that, she was pretty and approachable. Who would not like a woman like that?If Samson did not know he was not worthy of Sonnet, he would also want to try his luck with her!After hearing what Samson said, Sonnet smiled cheerfully, “I also think you’re one of mine. If you need my help with anything, just ask.”“Alright, I will not go easy on you,” Samson replied with a laug
Sonnet finally understood what happened after hearing Carter’s story.It seemed that Skylae started to prepare ahead when Felix showed him the photo at the buffet.She discussed this with Mr. Ron, saying that someone had their intimate photo in public and they might send it to his husband or make it public.So, Mr. Ron started to pay a lot of attention to Mrs. Ron’s whereabouts. Then, he found out that Mrs. Ron received the photo and had gone to hire a private investigator.Mr. Ron then quickly bribed the private investigator with a price that was higher than what Mrs. Ron offered to get him to photoshop a few photos to send to Mrs. Ron.Of course, Mrs. Ron got some of the photos from Sonnet, and the private investigator also dealt with them and printed them out.After that, Mrs. Ron went to make a fuss at the school and was humiliated. Then, Mr. Ron and Skylar, the adulterers, got an advantage and were on the moral high ground.“How did Mrs. Ron find you then?” Sonnet was curio
Jessie took her to the side of the road to take a taxi. She raised her head to look, and could not help but exclaim, "Huh?""What's the matter?" Skylar followed Jessie's line of sight and saw two figures, one big and one small.After a while, a big black Benz stopped on the side of the road, and the two figures got into the car.Skylar clenched her fist tightly and gritted her teeth. "That damned woman!"Jessie turned to look at her. "Which one?""The one I told you before, the woman who only graduated from high school in the special education school and opposed me everywhere! Later, when I was teased by Logan, she was the one who provoked him too!""Her name is Sonnet?" Jessie asked."How do you know?" Skylar was surprised.Jessie smiled. "She's a distant relative of my family. This woman is the best at pretending, and your being tricked by her is expected. Why didn't you tell me earlier? So that I can remind you to be wary of her.""If I knew you had such a relative, I would
One hundred and fifty thousand!Sonnet's heart trembled.‘I still owe the hospital money, how can I come up with one hundred and fifty thousand dollars all of a sudden?’However, she was willing to give everything to save her son's life!After some consideration, she said to Esther, "I'm under some pressure to come up with 150,000 dollars all of a sudden. Perhaps I can suggest otherwise, I will pay you on schedule, and I will give you a part of the money every month. Do you think this is okay?"Esther hesitated. "The bone marrow donation will be done by then, what if you don't pay?""I can write you an IOU. If I don't pay, you can sue me with the IOU." Sonnet said sincerely.Esther shook her head. "This probably won’t work... Mainly because our family is also quite short of money...""Then we’ll pay 150,000 in one lump sum," Hayden said beside her.Sonnet looked at him in surprise, and he nodded at her to show support.The agreement was made then. Elijah and Esther went back
Sonnet had no choice but to hold back her anxiety and wait quietly.Sure enough, in the afternoon, a foreign number called Sonnet's cell phone."I am Elijah's father." The other party said."Hello, have you changed your mind?""Our family members all agree that donating bone marrow will affect my son's college admission. If he fails to enter the ideal university next year, he may have to repeat it for another year, so we need to include the cost of exam retake."‘Sure enough, this meant that the money was too small,’ Sonnet thought to herself."So, how much compensation do you think is appropriate for you?" she asked."Five hundred thousand, at least."Sonnet didn't answer."Five hundred thousand can buy your son's life, so it's worth it!" said the other party."But my family's conditions are also limited, and I can't afford five hundred thousand at present. If you agree to pay in installments——""No deal about paying in installments!" The other party interrupted Sonnet. "
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
