“Ah... No…” Jessie murmured. “I thought my sister was probably busy, so I didn’t invite her along.”“Since we’ve coincidentally met at dinner time, why don’t we all eat together? It’ll be more lively with more people around!” Hayden suggested.“No need.”“No need.”Sonnet and Jessie refused in unison.Hearing this, Hayden raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong? Don’t you two sisters like eating together?”Sonnet was about to agree with him, but Jessie spoke up first, “No, no. That’s not it. How could it be? But my sister came with her husband and they’re having a family dinner, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to join in.”After she was done, she nervously looked at Sonnet, afraid that she might say something that would be unfavorable to her.How could Sonnet not understand her little scheme?Anyway, she did not want to have dinner with Jessie either, so she went along with it. “It doesn’t matter to us, but my younger sister is usually very busy with work and doesn’t even have
Lune hugged Jessie’s leg and looked up at her, saying, “You’re so nice, Aunt Jess!”The juice on her little hands was smeared onto Jessie’s skirt.Jessie almost hissed out in horror! This skirt was a limited edition that she had found after searching for it for a long time, and now this little brat had dirtied it! Ahh! How heartbreaking!She was convulsing inside, but she had to put on a generous front, so much so that her whole face twisted and her expression was extremely unnatural.Sonnet laughed inwardly and pulled Lune back. “Since we’re all here, come and sit.”The few of them then took their seats. Maxwell and Hayden sat next to each other with Sonnet and the three children on Maxwell’s right-hand side and Jessie on Hayden’s left-hand side. “This private room is the best one in Starry Sky Restaurant. Sonnet, you truly have it in you. Even my friend who’s the CEO of a pharmaceutical company couldn’t book the best room, but you did it so easily!”Hayden said with a smi
They were more like fire and water!“But I never see you visiting Myles at Westfield Hospital,” Hayden added.“Yeah, me neither. I haven’t seen Aunt Jess visit Grandpa at our house either. We just met her today!” Lune innocently chimed in.Jessie gritted her teeth, wishing she could just shut up this little brat.“Hehel, Auntie’s been really busy with work, and I haven’t had the time to visit Grandpa since he left the hospital. I go to Westfield Hospital often, but unfortunately, I’ve never run into Mr. Gunn there,” Jessie hastily explained.Sonnet sneered. “Yeah, you always seem to come at the wrong time.”Jessie stayed silent. She knew that if Sonnet did not badmouth her at this moment, she would already be considered lucky. She had to endure this kind of mockery.Everything was for the sake of giving Hayden a good impression in order to move forward with her plans.“The food is getting cold, let’s eat!” Maxwell suddenly exclaimed.Everyone focused their attention on the d
The effect of the designer bag was really good. In less than half an hour, Louise came back with the news. “He’s at Misty Fragrance Bar, drinking with a few bosses.”Jessie put down her powder compact upon hearing this. She had just redone her makeup with thick black mascara and seductive black eyeshadow, which made her look alluring and charming.She then took out a fishtail skirt and put it on with a backless suspender top. She finished off the outfit with a pink fur jacket, which made her look both seductive and wild. It was a far cry from her previous intellectual style.Louise widened her eyes and said, “Aren’t you afraid of ruining your image like this?”“Isn’t Hayden a two-faced person? He’s serious at work, but he turns into a wolf at night. A two-faced person will be attracted to another two-faced person. Let’s give it a try,” Jessie said.Upon hearing this, Louise adjusted her makeup a bit, and the two of them went to Misty Fragrance Bar.The bar was dimly lit inside, a
The fool who married Sonnet seemed to be the second young master of the Brooks family, and this one was the third young master…She scrutinized the newcomer and saw that he was quite handsome but dressed in a bit of a hip-hop style with a somewhat shady demeanor.Compared to Hayden, he was indeed a bit lacking in charisma, but he must be quite wealthy!With this thought in mind, Micah had already struck up a conversation with her.He was the type of person who would never let a beauty slip by. In the afternoon, he saw a beauty who turned out to be the fool’s wife. Now, he saw a wild beauty with Hayden.“Is this beautiful lady our Hay Hay’s girlfriend?” Micah asked tentatively.If not, he still had a chance.Jessie looked at Hayden, and Hayden replied, “No, just a friend.”Micah’s heart skipped a beat, and he squeezed forward. “Long time no see, Hay. You don’t mind us having a drink together, do you?”“Of course not,” Hayden said before instructing the bartender, “Make another
Upon seeing Hayden enter, Logan pushed the wooden table top that was floating on the surface of the water toward the edge of the pool.“Want one?" He invited, taking a puff of his cigar.Hayden slid into the hot spring along the poolside, letting out a sigh of relief as the warm water enveloped him.He pushed the table top back toward Logan and gave him a disdainful look. “Smoke less. Don’t you know it’s harmful to your health?”Logan blew out a smoke ring. “Stop being so pretentious. The harm caused by my smoking is nothing compared to the damage caused by your excessive indulgence!”Hayden muttered a curse under his breath, then slapped the water’s surface, causing droplets to fly up and splash Logan in the face.“You son of a b*tch!” Logan retaliated by splashing water at Hayden.In an instant, the two grown men were like children, playing and ‘fighting’ with each other, causing the pool to become chaotic.They were having a great time, but the people around them were suffer
“She’s putting the kids to bed. I said I wanted to swim, and she let me come out. My wife’s great. She never keeps track of my whereabouts,” Maxwell said proudly.He looked at Hayden and asked, “Have you hooked up with my sister-in-law yet?”Hayden shrugged. “If we had, would I be here tonight?”“Maybe you’re just quick.”Logan and Howard laughed, always enjoying these colorful jokes.After a while, Hayden asked Maxwell, “I remember your grandfather originally designated Jessie as your wife, right?”“Fortunately, Jessie didn’t like a mentally challenged person like me, so Sonnet married me instead. Otherwise, I would’ve missed out on such a good wife.”Maxwell felt lucky. At the same time, he was surprised that his keen grandfather would even choose Jessie.He looked at Hayden and said, “Jessie was obviously trying to hook up with you. Why didn’t you take the bait?”Hayden casually played a card. “I’m not interested in women who’d drug me.”“What?”“What?”“What?” The thr
Sonnet was putting the kids to sleep. As she was singing, she fell asleep herself.She did not know how long she slept until she felt someone picking her up. Startled, she opened her eyes and met Maxwell’s gentle gaze. She immediately felt at ease and closed her eyes to sleep again.However, Maxwell did not let her have any more chances to sleep as his big hands wandered around.Sonnet laughed lightly, climbed onto his neck, and initiated a kiss.The man groaned and flipped her over. He pinned her down and took his time to fully enjoy her.The next day, Sonnet slept until the sun shone on her face. When she woke up, she did not see Maxwell by her side, but she heard muffled laughter outside.She put on her clothes, got out of bed, and opened the curtains. Jaybie and Lune were sitting side by side on the swing, while Shay sat on their laps. Jaybie and Lune stretched out their arms to hold Shay while they swung back and forth.Maxwell was pushing the swing, and he was so stron
