Sonnet was startled, and then was pleasantly surprised: "Lucas is back?"Lindy nodded helplessly."Where is he? Why didn't he call me?""He said...he is too busy and has been busy filming, so he has no time to contact you."Suddenly, a tinge of guilt appeared on Sonnet's face, her voice shaken. "Then, did you tell him about my marriage?"Lindy looked at her seriously: "Do you want me to tell, or not to tell?""I'm just afraid that he will be angry... As a good friend, I didn't tell him about my marriage... But my marriage was really quite embarrassing, so I'm too ashamed to tell him..." Sonnet rubbed the corner of her clothes with her hands.Lindy sighed softly. "I told him you are married, and the other party is the Second Young Master of the Brooks.""Oh...then he didn't say anything?"Lindy shook her head, it was better not to tell her about Lucas' insincere blessings.Sonnet lowered her eyes. "The last time we quarreled, he must have been very angry, so he hasn't contacte
Marcus blushed, coughed twice and said, "Maxwell, stop your nonsense.""Me? Nonsense?!" Maxwell sneered, "The two of us grew up sharing a pair of trousers. Don’t I know how your behavior is? You, a hotshot lawyer, are always eloquent. Even if the other party is a woman, you never feel nervous. But today, you stuttered when talking to her!""Well, must’ve fallen in love with that girl." Logan concluded, "I remembered that I never had any issues with girls before, but the moment I saw my wife, I also stuttered."Howard was not familiar with Lindy, so he asked in a nosey manner, "Is she Sonnet's best friend?""I heard she’s an entertainment reporter?" Hayden interjected and asked.Facing the interrogating gazes of his brothers, Marcus spread his hands. "She is that girl."Maxwell's eyes suddenly burned. "That’s her?!"Logan, Hayden and Howard asked in unison. "Which one?""It's the girl who made him fall in love with basketball!" Maxwell exclaimed in shock.The other three had sud
Lindy stayed in bed until nine o'clock in the morning the next day because they came home late from the night flash sale.Upon waking up, the phone rang. She stretched and picked it up. "Hello?""Miss Jackson."Lindy paused for a moment before she responded. "Mr. Pine, what’s up?""Are you free today, I want to ask you a favor."‘Help again! This man is a lot of work!’"What's the matter?""It's like this, didn't you say that I looked lifeless and rigid because I always wear a suit. So I plan to buy some new clothes, but I’m usually at work, and don't have much idea on clothes and trends, so can you please give me some advice?"Lindy did not answer for a while.‘I can always help on this, but it felt a little weird to help.’"I have a friend who happens to know the assistant of the newly promoted star Audrey Snow. Don't you need this kind of interview, maybe we can talk about it. But if you don't have time, then—""I have time! I must have time!" Lindy quickly agreed.After
The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although his appearance was not particularly impressive, he had good facial features.Next, he switched from business casual outfit to trendy casual outfit.A simple college-style sweater paired with jeans. Lindy smacked her lips when she saw him, and it turned out that his long legs were hidden under those wide suit pants!In an instant, he changed from a mature man into a gentlemanly, handsome youth!Then came the sporty style, a black bomber jacket, sweatpants and high leather boots underneath. Lindy felt butterflies in her stomach.In an instant, he changed from a gentlemanly handsome youth to a sexy stud!Most importantly, each time this man changed his outfit, these three styles did not seem out of place. This is probably due to his excellent facial features, which made him highly adaptable to any styles."Which one is better?" Marcus looked at Lindy.Lindy gulped before answering. "They all looked great, you can take them all!"T
Marcus choked. "Why are you here?""Oh, we’re here for shopping...well, Mr. Pine, carry on with your business, we won't bother you, won’t bother you anymore." Gwen ran away in a panic after speaking.Marcus smiled awkwardly at Lindy: "It's my assistant."Lindy smiled and replied, "Look, you changed clothes, and your assistant didn't even recognize you! I think you should wear more fashionable outfits in the future, I guarantee you can find a suitable girlfriend soon!"Marcus coughed twice and looked at himself in the mirror. "Forget about this shirt." ‘I can’t wear this in court.’"No, you looked great. You don’t have to wear it for work, but for leisure, especially when you’re on a date!" Lindy said and winked at him.With his figure in a shirt, he would probably attract a wave of girls to lust over his body.Marcus blushed. "You think it's good? Then let's buy it.""Yeah." Lindy nodded repeatedly.Marcus went into the locker room to change, and Lindy went to the bathroom.A
Lindy did not hold back, and asked Marcus to treat herself to a high-end buffet. She was completely carefree while she ate, gorging down food with no restrain at all.She no longer regarded Marcus as a straight man, but as a best friend, so of course she was being herself in front of him.If it was another woman, Marcus might think that her table manners was slightly rude, but he has a filter for Lindy. No matter how he saw her, she was pleasing to the eye, even with gravy dribbling on the corner of her mouth, she looked earnest and cute. She was warm, cheerful, straightforward and lively, not hypocritical at all.The two of them were having a good time, then two men walked through the door, arm in arm, looking very intimate.Someone at the next table commented, "Tsk tsk, such open display of affection, total disregard of proper behavior."Lindy was in the midst of devouring some crayfish, but immediately looked up at Marcus upon hearing this.Marcus was also looking at those two
Marcus nodded nervously, ‘Was I being a bit too fake?’Deep inside, he was prepared to be rejected by her, but she nodded heartily. "Okay, no problem, just call me if you need anything!"‘If I hadn’t known about his orientation, I wouldn’t have agreed, and a good deed never goes wasted!’Marcus could hardly believe his ears. After being stunned for a while, ecstasy welled up in his heart.‘She actually agreed, this is really amazing, so amazing!’He could not help but grab her hand. "That’s awesome, thank you!"Lindy patted his hand with a smile. "We’re friends, you're welcome."‘Look how happy this child is. With my cover, he can finally get to be with the one he loves. How wonderful!’She felt a little proud in her heart, and felt that she had done a good deed as a good person.Marcus restrained himself from getting too close, so he sent Lindy back after lunch.When the car arrived in front of the Harrison Estate, it happened that Maxwell and his wife were sorting things in
Little did he know, what he thought was success was the complete opposite! And the biggest contributor to this blunder was his assistant!Everyone was busy carrying the luggages, while Jaybie and Lune seemed a little excited and chattered.Sophia seemed quite disappointed. "Once you leave, my house will be too quiet. Lindy is always working outside, and I am the only old woman left. How boring!"As she spoke, an idea came to her. She looked at Myles, who was basking in the sun at the yard. "Perhaps, Mr. Turner, you could still live at my place? We are the same age, we will always have something to talk about.""That's not so nice, I’ve troubled you enough—""No trouble, no trouble at all, you can tell me all about those books when you’re free, I think it's very interesting!" Sophia quickly waved her hand.Myles looked at Sonnet, who then smiled. "Dad, it's up to you, you can live wherever you want."Myles seemed to be hesitant. His gaze bounced between Sonnet and Sophia.He nev
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
