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
Sonnet raised her eyebrows unexpectedly.The doctor asked again, "Haven't you noticed this occurrence recently?"Sonnet nodded quickly. "I felt the same too. I felt that his speech seems to be much more logical than before, and he is more mature when handling things."She did not notice this before, but it became more apparent after Lindy reminded her.She looked at the doctor hopefully. "Doctor, does this mean that Maxwell's condition may get better progressively?"The doctor smiled and nodded. "I think this is probably a miracle. There are many possibilities for the human brain. At present, his brain function is indeed much better than before. Previously, his IQ was equivalent to that of a six or seven-year-old child. Right now, his IQ would be about ten years old. In our opinion, his condition would continue to improve.""That means, maybe one day he will become a normal person?""It's hard to say, maybe that day will come, or maybe the progress will cease. But, no matter wha
On this day, Sonnet went new year shopping. She was done right around when Maxwell got off work, so she asked Lewis to drive to Brooks Corporation to pick him up to go home together.The car was parked downstairs at the Brooks Tower. Sonnet called Maxwell, after the call connected, there was a noisy voice on the other side of the phone."Maxwell?" Sonnet asked in surprise.Maxwell's cries were heard. "Wifey...""What's wrong?" Sonnet's face suddenly darkened."Uncle Welson came and scolded me.""Which floor is your office on?""The twelfth floor.""Okay, you wait, I'll go up!" Sonnet finished and opened the door to get out of the car.At the entrance of Brooks Tower, there was a turnstile barrier gate that needed card access. Sonnet could not get in, so she went straight to the security guard. "Please open the gate for me, I need to go up to pick up the Second Young Master of the Brooks, he seemed to have an emergency on the 12th floor. Delaying us would mean delaying the comp
Welson shot her a nasty glare. "How is that an insult? He is a fool, this is an indisputable fact!""Who said he is a fool? If he is a fool, can he work in the audit department of Brooks Corporation?" Sonnet immediately retorted.In the past, she could not tolerate others calling Maxwell a fool. Now that Maxwell's intelligence had improved, she could never accept others saying that about Maxwell."It was Marcus who arranged it!" Welson rolled his eyes.Immediately, Sonnet's arguments followed. "Yes, it was Marcus' arrangement. But if he is really incapable of this job, why would the senior management of Brooks Corporation allow him to work in that position? Do you think the senior management, as well as Uncle Will and Uncle Winston, were also stupid?"Will Brooks was now the leader of the Bai Group, and Maxwell worked in the audit department, so the former must have known about it.Welson choked on Sonnet's words and did not answer.Sonnet sneered and continued. "Furthermore, ev
Welson's glare turned into rage. "Who are you calling a beast?! Who?!"Sonnet was relaxed. "Whoever barks is a beast. Let's see, I wonder who is barking now?"The onlookers outside sniggered discreetly:"This Second Young Miss is amazing, she dared to even provoke Third Master Brooks!""She’s already burned bridges with him, so she’s not afraid of offending him. But then again, if I see my husband being scolded like this, I won't be able to stand it either!""What she said was reasonable. Although Second Young Master is usually verbally slow, his business ability is unrivaled. His brain is like a computer. None of us can compare!""You, you, you! You, b*stard!" Welson stammered angrily.Sonnet delighted as the man stuttered, she leisurely spoke again. "Uncle Welson, you keep coming here to find fault with Maxwell. Please don’t think Maxwell is easily bullied. Beware the fury of a patient man. When my Maxwell gets really angry, he can knock you down with just one punch. If you ha
Suddenly, Welson felt his body give way.The car braked suddenly, and both he and the woman jerked forward.Welson immediately yelled at the driver in front. "Drive your car well. Don’t be nosy about what you shouldn't!"The distance was not too far yet it was pure torment for the driver. When he finally stopped at the apartment building, the driver immediately opened the door, got out of the car, and walked away.The car remained in place.The man and woman in the backseat were covered in sweat and sat panting.Welson let out a sigh of satisfaction. "Being with me is much better than being with that kid.""Yeah, I fell in love with you at the second master's birthday party that day. But everyone knows that I’m the third young master’s girlfriend, so I can't do anything about it. Oh, what a torment my heart was in at that time..." Jessie purred.After she was outed for academic misconduct, she was chewed out by her colleagues in the hospital. This was due to her being too arrog
