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,
Will’s birthday banquet would be in ten days. Sonnet had to prepare a birthday gift.She was extremely worried about what to buy. People like Will must already own everything. What kind of gift should she get him that is not clichéd but also catches his eye? “Based on my research, Will Brooks likes poetry and paintings. You can get him something related to those types of art to match his interests,” Lindy said while flipping through her notebook and gnawing the end of her pen. “I don’t know much about poetry and paintings.” “I heard that he likes paintings by Mr. Oddie. You can get him one of his paintings.” Mr. Oddie was a well-known contemporary artist. Sonnet took in a sharp intake of breath. “Do you know how hard it is to get our hands on one of Mr. Oddie’s paintings? Let’s not even mention the price. Even if I can afford one of his paintings, there would be a long waiting list. I don’t think I’ll be able to purchase it in time.” She pondered it and asked Lindy, “What
