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
Sonnet knelt and took out the redwood box from under her father’s bed. “You’ve always been curious about what’s inside this box since you were a child. However, I’ve never opened it in front of you. I’ll open the box in front of you today! Open the box with the key.” Sonnet hesitated for a moment. Finally, she could not resist her curiosity and placed the key in the lock. The lock seemed pretty old. However, it operated extremely smoothly. The box opened after she turned the key lightly. She then took a closer look at the carvings on the lock. The carvings were of a traditional style. It looked like an antique item. Did her father inherit some valuable items from his ancestors? Sonnet thought about it while opening the redwood box. There was a pile of painting scrolls inside the redwood box. She had never expected to see something like this inside the box. “Dad, this…” Myles laughed bitterly and said, “I painted all of this in my early days. I kept them for memories’ s
Myles looked into the distance outside the window while speaking. He seemed to be picturing the scene back then. “Mr. Edelweiss…I’ve never heard of Mr. Oddie having this apprentice!” Lindy said softly. Myles suddenly returned to his senses. He turned around to look at Lindy. “That’s because he wasn’t in the industry long. He disappeared after a few years.” “He disappeared?” Sonnet was shocked. “Yes, he left his hometown for certain reasons. From then onwards, he vanished from Mr. Oddie’s life. Mr. Oddie wasn’t that well known when Edelweiss was his apprentice. However, Mr. Oddie rose to fame after one of his paintings gained popularity. Art collectors then started treating his past works as valuable collectibles,” Myles said in a slightly emotional and reminiscent tone. “Then…Why is ‘Everglow’ with you?” Sonnet asked cautiously.Myles quietly smiled and said, “It was a coincidence.” He looked at Sonnet and said, “‘Everglow’ isn’t one of Mr. Oddie’s works. Mr. Edelweis
