Sonnet turned her head and saw Hayden walking quickly from another small path. Seeing Hayden, Micah’s arrogant expression slightly diminished. “H-Hay…”Hayden ignored him and went directly to the female doctor’s side, respectfully saying, “Ms. Swift, I’m really sorry to have you come to the summit and be insulted by this ignorant youngster!”The female doctor snorted.Hayden spoke coldly to Micah, “Come here and apologize to Ms. Swift!”Micah seemed hesitant.Hayden’s voice suddenly became colder. “Ms. Swift is a leading figure in gynecology. People who want to see her have to line up around Harbor City. Today, you got lucky because she came to attend the National Medical Summit. How dare you yell at her?! Come here and apologize to Ms. Swift!”Sonnet had never seen Hayden angry before, but now that she saw it today, she realized that his anger was quite intimidating.Micah also became a bit timid and slowly moved to Ms. Swift’s side, bowing his head and saying, “I’m sorry, Ms.
Jessie was a doctor, and she understood her own body’s condition.The reason why she lost control last night was due to the effects of the drug. She had clearly put the drug in Hayden’s glass, so why did she end up being affected by it instead?There was only one answer, and that was because she had drunk from Hayden’s glass.She carefully recalled last night’s events. When Micah appeared and greeted her, she turned her head to look at him. After the greeting, she felt a slight suspicion when she drank from the glass.She felt like there was more alcohol in her glass, but at the time, she did not think much of it and thought it was just her imagination.Now, thinking back, Hayden must have switched his glass with hers. She had to ask Hayden about this matter!Facing Jessie’s questioning, Hayden folded his arms and nodded slowly. “Yes, I switched the glasses.”“Why?! Why did you do that?!” Jessie was a bit angry. If he had not switched the glasses, she would not have ended up
Jessie walked back to her place quickly. Micah was already waiting for her there. He was still playing games on his phone. When he saw her, he asked mischievously, “What did you tell Hayden?” “I thanked him for introducing you to me last night.” Jessie laughed as she went to the kitchen to pour a cup of fruit juice. She then secretly opened the bottle of pills that she got from the clinic previously. She put two pills into the cup of fruit juice, stirring till the pills dissolved completely. She took the cup and sat down beside Micah. “You must be thirsty. Come on, have some fruit juice.” Micah was busy playing games. “I’m not going to drink anything.” “Come on, I’ll feed you!” Jessie said in a coquettish tone. She then placed the cup to Micah’s lips.Micah raised his head and took a sip. Jessie cast a seductive look at him.His will wavered. He threw his phone aside and tried to hug her at once. Jessie dodged him quickly. There was an aggravated expression on her face
After giving birth to two children and breaking up with Mason, she no longer had such dreams about romance. She did not expect her imagination to become a reality, so many years later.“Maxwell, do you know how to ride a bicycle?” She asked with her eyes closed. She had also once imagined riding a bicycle with her boyfriend while sitting on the front frame. “I’m great at cycling!” “Can we ride a bicycle together in the future?” Sonnet closed her eyes while speaking. She laughed and said, “I’d like to sit on the front frame so I can be in your arms.” “Sure!” Maxwell smiled as well. He could picture the scene. He did not expect his dear wife to enjoy acting like a teenager in love. He would satisfy her! Maxwell had excellent physical fitness. He carried Sonnet all the way to the peak of the mountain without panting much. The view from the top of the mountain was different from the view at the base. Sonnet opened her eyes. She was fascinated by the view. “Wow
Lewis applied the emergency brake to avoid crashing into the car in front. “Does this person know how to drive?!” Lewis complained angrily. The car stopped in front of him as soon as he finished speaking. The driver got out of the car. Sonnet turned around to glance at Maxwell when she saw the driver. “Oh! Look at that driver! Is he coming over to scold us?” Lewis said angrily. “He was the one who broke the traffic rules. He even overtook our car and cut our queue. How dare he glare at us?!” “We’ll go down to take a look.” Sonnet glanced at the children and opened the car door. She did not want Micah to scare the children with his behavior and words.Maxwell immediately reached out to hold her hand. “I’ll go with you, darling!” Sonnet smiled at him. With him by her side, she did not fear anything.Micah was about to scold them when the door of the Rolls-Royce opened. He was stunned when Maxwell and Sonnet got out. He returned to his senses and looked at them co
Jessie stiffened as she clenched her hands into tight fists. Darn it, Sonnet Turner! If she had not badmouthed her in front of Hayden, she would have fallen for Hayden’s scheme and gotten into bed with Micah, that darn pervert! “You don’t need to worry about me. You’d better worry more about yourself!” She turned angrily, glaring at Sonnet. After getting into the car, Micah asked Jessie, “Do you know that woman?” Jessie held his hand and showed him an upset gaze. “Micah, you must help me. Your brother’s wife bullied me a few times!” “Oh? Did she bully you?!” “Yes, we’re distantly related. She has always been jealous of me since I get along well with plenty of guys. She has been scheming against me openly and behind the scenes several times! I understand her really well. She looks extremely serious and well-behaved, but nobody knows her true colors. She gave birth to two children a couple of years ago, but she doesn’t even know who their father is!” She had always
Two days later, Sonnet was chatting and joking around with Maxwell after getting home from work, when the doorbell suddenly rang. Shaw ran out of the kitchen. He went to the intercom and asked, “Who is it?” “Tell Young Master Brooks that Malcolm Brooks is here,” a man’s voice rang out. Maxwell stood up at once. Sonnet’s heart lurched when she noticed the odd expression on his face. “Who’s Malcolm Brooks?” “He’s Uncle Will’s eldest son.” Maxwell walked outside while speaking. Sonnet followed closely behind him. Both of them opened the gate of the courtyard. A well-dressed man in his thirties was standing outside. Next to him, a woman dressed in fashionable clothes. The man smiled when he saw Maxwell. “Long time no see, Maxwell.” “ Maxwell touched his head and called out, “Malcolm…” Sonnet greeted the guests at once. “Malcolm, come in and take a seat.” Malcolm turned around and gave Sonnet a once over. “You must be Sonnet.” “Yes, we’ve never visited you after
Malcolm coughed twice and said, “Didn’t you just get married this year? We didn’t even get to see your wife yet. It’s time for you to let the family get to know her.” Sonnet thought that it was a terrible excuse! The Brooks family did not even attend their wedding. After their wedding, they told them that they did not have to visit either. However, they were now inviting them to a birthday banquet so that they could get to know her. Did this not sound like a complete joke?! Janet probably felt that her husband’s words did not sound convincing at all. She immediately added, “Dad also said that he hasn’t seen Maxwell in a long time. He misses you.” “Uncle Will doesn’t like me,” Maxwell blurted out. Janet’s face twitched as her smile stiffened. “Maxwell, what are you talking about? You’re the second young master of the Brooks family and dad’s biological nephew. Why won’t he like you?” “He always scolded me in the past!” Maxwell kept going on like a child. “As your senior,
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
