Sonnet decided to take a set of photos for each child. Jaybie and Lune had never taken such artistic photos before.Lindy was extremely excited about it. “Jaybie and Lune are so good-looking. The photos we take of them will make them look just like those of little princesses and princes!”Lune asked, “Mom, can I call Uncle Johnson?”Surprised, Sonnet asked, “Why do you want to call Uncle Johnson?”“I want to take a photo with him!” Lune replied.Sonnet lied to Lune, saying that Uncle Johnson had gone on a business trip. It had been over half a month, and Lune still had not seen him. “Uncle Johnson is still on his business trip, so he’s probably not in Harbor City. And even if he was here, he would be working and wouldn’t have time to take photos with you, don’t you think?”Lune pouted and said nothing, looking unhappy.Sonnet thought that she would have to contact Johnson to meet Lune at an appropriate time, so as to not hurt her feelings.Lindy gave Sonnet a signal and quick
Although Lucas was in full disguise, with only his eyes being visible, Sonnet and the others recognized him instantly.He had just walked into the restaurant and was talking to a waiter. The waiter was very respectful and led him inside.“Is he going to the private room?” Lindy also saw him and asked softly, “I heard that the private rooms in this restaurant are very hard to book. Who’s he having dinner with, and why does he need to go to the private room?”“Well, he’s a big star now, so he probably wants to avoid being photographed by the paparazzi,” Sonnet replied, watching Lucas’ figure.Lindy pouted. “The paparazzi is always around!” She said and patted her chest.“Aunt Lindy, what does ‘paparazzi; mean? You don’t look like a papa!” Lune asked innocently, tilting her head.Lindy laughed, rubbed Lune’s head, and said, “Paparazzi are people who are very well-informed.”“Oh, then I’m the paparazzi of my class!” Lune proudly declared.Sonnet and Lindy were stunned for a moment,
Lindy stared at Jaybie for a while. Suddenly, she reached out to pinch his face. “Hey, Jaybie, since when have you learned to flatter other people? Oh, you’re showering me with so much flattery that I feel like I’m floating in the air! Since you praised me so much today, I’ll definitely treat you to steak tonight!” Jaybie showed her a toothy grin. After ordering the steak sets, the children started eating happily. Lil Three cried because she was hungry. Sonnet then carried her to the baby room to breastfeed her. Sonnet returned to the room after breastfeeding. She passed another room on the way back. The door of the room suddenly opened, and someone walked out in a hurry. The person almost collided with Sonnet. Sonnet exclaimed and held Lil Three tightly in her arms as she took several steps back, almost losing her balance. She was rather agitated. Why was this person walking so quickly?! “Sonnet?” The other person suddenly called out to her. Sonnet raised her head in
Lucas smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t know. It depends on how generous a person she is. If she insists on going against me, I can’t do anything about it either. She’s one of the shareholders of the company that I’m in. She has pretty strong connections within the industry.” Sonnet sensed some implications behind his words. She asked, “What did she do to you?” Lucas smiled bitterly and said, “She didn’t do anything to me. She simply told me that she admires me a lot. She wants me to visit her place after our meal.” Despite how nicely he worded it, Yves’s intentions were obvious. Sonnet did not know what to say to Lucas. She recalled how Claude had spoken to Yves coquettishly during the new product launch. She did not expect Lucas to catch Yves’s attention as well. However, Lucas was on another level compared to Claude. It was not odd that he had caught Yves’s eye. “This is the dark side of the entertainment industry. Although it looks like an extremely flashy job o
“I guess so. I’ll hand it to one of the waiters later,” Lucas said. It was as if the heavens insisted on exposing Lucas’s lies. As soon as he finished speaking, someone pushed open the door. Yves walked into the room. Lucas was still holding onto the scarf in his hands. He instantly froze on the spot. Yves was stunned when she saw the group of people in the room. However, she quickly returned to her senses. She scanned the faces in the room. Finally, her gaze landed on Lucas’s face. She had an ambiguous smile as she took the scarf from Lucas and said, “It turns out that I left it here. Thank you for picking it up for me.” Lucas moved his lips. However, he did not manage to say anything. Yves stopped looking at Lucas. She then turned around to stare at Jaybie and Lune. “Are they your children?” She asked Sonnet. “Yes, Miss Yates. They’re twins.” Yves suddenly looked at Sonnet. “I heard that you’ve been married to Maxwell Brooks for less than two years. How are y
“Lucas, I’ll admit that I’m extremely attracted to you. However, if you don’t have feelings for me, you should just tell me directly. Why must you do this? Did you think I’m the type of person to go against you just to take revenge if my feelings aren’t reciprocated?” Yves asked in an upset tone. Lucas immediately waved his hands and said, “No, of course not! I didn’t mean that at all. I was just taken aback. That’s why I didn’t know what to do. I’m sorry if I handled this badly, Miss Yates.” Yves smiled and said, “I got it. It’s great that we managed to resolve this misunderstanding. You don’t need to act awkwardly in front of me because of what happened today. I’m an extremely accepting person. Even if we don’t become more than friends, we can still remain friends.” Lucas finally felt a heavy load lifted off his heart on seeing the open and accepting expression on her face. “You really are a strong and capable woman, Miss Yates. You’re different from other women!” Lucas pr
Yves glanced at Brooklyn through the rearview mirror. “You’ve been with me for more than a decade now. Since when have I ever judged someone wrongly?” Brooklyn immediately nodded and said, “You’re right. You’ve always had an accurate judgment when it comes to people! However, I feel pretty displeased since you’re giving him resources without getting anything in return!” “I’m using a long line to catch a big fish! When trying to hit it off with men like him, not only do I want to win over his physical body, but I also want to win his heart! I want him to throw himself into my arms and swear his loyalty to me. I’ll feel the greatest sense of satisfaction when that happens!” Yves looked outside the car window as a confident smile formed across her lips. She could almost imagine the day this happened. She felt extremely giddy! “What about Claude Wolfe?” Brooklyn asked again. Yves finally returned to her senses. There was a disgusted expression on her face as she said, “That we
The next afternoon, Lindy came over for lunch. “We just saw each other yesterday. Why are you here again?” Sonnet asked with a smile. Lindy rarely came over for lunch lately. She was busy with work and spent most of her free time at night with Marcus. She only came to her apartment when Will Brooks and his family visited the other day. They spent time taking photographs all day yesterday. She had not come over since. “I’d like to share some huge news with you. I can’t bear to keep it to myself,” Lindy said.Sonnet found it rather funny. She asked, “What news do you have?” “You know Claude Wolfe, right?!” Sonnet nodded and said, “He’s Mariette Brooks’s husband. What’s the matter?” “It’s just way too shocking. Do you know that he was discovered naked outside Brooks Estate today?”“Is that so?! What happened? Was he drunk, or did he overdose on drugs? Did he get kidnapped by someone?” Sonnet widened her eyes. The news caught her interest. “He probably got kidnapped. How
