Sonnet must not stop renting this unit! If Sonnet moved out, he would no longer be able to approach her in her daily life. “That’s true. We can look for an apartment building where many kids live in. We’ll then be able to have fun with plenty of friends!” Lune still wanted to make more friends. Sonnet, Jaybie, and Lune chatted while walking downstairs. Maxwell frowned as he dialed a number and said, “Arrange for some people to move over as soon as possible. Filter through the residents. They must have a clean record, and they must be nice and approachable as well. Right, it’d be great if they’re families with children around four to five years old. The children must be polite and intelligent…” Sonnet arrived home from work that evening. Lune grabbed her arm as soon as she arrived. “Mom, I’m truly blessed!” Sonnet burst out into laughter. “What happened?” “Did you know that a few families moved into the units upstairs today? There are children in two of the families that mo
“The founder of Paragon Education Group? Who’s he?” Sonnet asked.She had only ever bothered to teach the children in the special education school well. She rarely gossiped about such things. “Mr. Strombold. Don’t you know him?” Juliette rolled her eyes at her in disappointment. She started filling her in on everything, “Zachary Strombold is the founder of the Paragon Education Group. He has an ordinary family background. He started by opening a kindergarten and gradually expanded his education company. He’s now the gold standard in the education sector of Harbor City and the entire world! Most importantly…” Juliette stopped talking. There was a smitten gaze in her eyes. Sonnet had a bad premonition. Juliette then told her, “I love his handsome face!” Sonnet felt that this was Juliette’s true thoughts. She was truly obsessed with handsome men. How could she change herself? The aspirations and experiences that she had mentioned were simply excuses. She was mainly drawn to th
Sonnet got distracted as she looked at Zachary. Suddenly, an uproar broke out next to her. “Oh gosh, who’s that? He exudes such a mature aura!” Sonnet overheard the two women sitting next to her.She returned to her senses and looked at the stage. The second guest that had entered the hall was walking up the stage. Sonnet was stunned when she caught sight of the man Was that not Johnson Yates, her neighbor that lived in unit 405? He was completely different from Zachary. It was no wonder the female teachers got so excited looking at them! Most women would probably find either of them extremely attractive! “I heard that he’s the newly-appointed vice president!” Some well-informed insiders answered everyone’s questions. “This vice president is really…Most of the employees in Paragon Education Group are women. However, the president and vice president are such handsome and capable men. Is this how they intend to keep us at the company?” All the guests below the stage
The orientation ceremony ended at mid-day. Everyone headed to the company canteen for lunch.The teachers from the schools under Paragon Education Group that had attended the ceremony were given free lunch coupons. They could use the coupons for a buffet in the company’s canteen. Juliette and Sonnet walked together. After walking out of the hall, she kept holding Sonnet’s hand and looking at it. It was time for them to have lunch right now, but she was still looking at her hand. Sonnet could not bear it anymore. “Why do you keep holding my hand? It’s not like I’m holding money.” She tried to withdraw her hand from Juliette’s hand. However, Juliette held on tightly. “Wait! Let me have a sniff!” Juliette said as she put Sonnet’s hand to her nose. Sonnet snapped, “Are you a pervert?! Why are you sniffing my hand?!” “Am I sniffing your hand? I’m sniffing Mr. Zachary’s scent!” Sonnet said through gritted teeth, “He’s not the only person that I shook hands with. I shook han
Zachary looked at Maxwell eating in front of him. A sense of adoration filled his heart.Since when had he fallen for him?He recalled when he had first got to know Maxwell. Back then, he had just joined the university. Although Maxwell was two years younger than him, he already exuded a domineering aura. Back then, Maxwell was looking for teachers for the school that he planned to establish. He was looking for university students to train based on his values. He had joined the school through recruitment.He was the only male teacher that Maxwell had recruited for the training session. While the other female teachers all fell for Maxwell’s handsome looks and cold aura, he noticed the strong determination and bold dreams in Maxwell’s heart. He was the only one remaining in the school after Maxwell’s harsh training. After that, he took up the responsibility of training new teachers. He gradually got attracted by Maxwell’s charming personality after spending more time with him. He
Maxwell’s heart trembled in excitement. He thought about it before telling Zachary, “Get the director of the human resources department to notify Sonnet to come over for a chat after she finishes her meal.” Zachary felt an indescribable ache sensation in his heart. “The teachers would have returned to their schools after having their meals…” Maxwell got up and said, “In that case, I’ll head to the canteen to take a look myself.” It was alright if he could not speak to her. It would be great if he could just take a glance at her. “Well, there are a few files that you need to review!” Zachary said at once. Maxwell had a disappointed expression on his face. He sat down on the sofa and said, “Alright, bring them over.” Zachary immediately packed up the lunch boxes and fetched the files. Complicated emotions filled his heart as he headed over to grab the files. He vaguely knew about Maxwell’s condition. Therefore, he always felt that it was not Maxwell’s choice to get marri
Sonnet was already in the residential area. Why would he want to fetch her back? More importantly, she was displeased by the tone of his voice when he suggested fetching her home. It was as if they were very familiar with each other and that it was only reasonable for him to fetch her home. She recalled how he had held her hand tightly and refused to let go in the morning. She felt even more hyper-vigilant. Men usually treated other women nicely with specific intentions. It would be better for her to keep her distance from him.With that thought in mind, she started walking faster. Nevertheless, the Bentley next to her did not drive off. It moved along the road slowly by her side.He drove faster when she walked at a faster pace and slowed down when she walked at a slower pace.Sonnet frowned. She turned around and started walking along a path instead. Maxwell could no longer drive by her side. He smiled bitterly as he looked at her walking into the distance. He felt over
“It’s alright. Thank you. Please put me down,” Sonnet replied courteously, her face flushed red. Maxwell’s heart fluttered when he saw Sonnet’s face redden. How could he put her down? “I’d better carry you up. It’d be bad if you twisted your leg.” “It’s really fine. Put me down.” Sonnet stiffened her body and started struggling in his arms. Maxwell intentionally loosened his hold on her. Sonnet shouted out instinctively. She then wrapped her hands around his neck. Maxwell narrowed his eyes. It felt so good when his wife hugged him! The next moment, the weight in his arms vanished. Sonnet had jumped down from his arms. He set his gaze on Sonnet and noticed the dark expression on her face as she looked at him. She seemed extremely displeased.“Mr. Yates, although I’m grateful to you for helping me, it’s inappropriate for you to carry me without my consent.” There was an icy expression on her face. The tone of her voice was cold as well. She was evidently furious.
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
