It was late at night. The big trees outside the window faded into dim shadows in the moonlight.
Daniel had come home earlier than usual.Instead of turning on the lights, he simply stood in front of the window without saying a word.The windows were wide open. It was not only moonlight that burst into the living room, but also a chilly gust of wind."Dan, you're home," Sonia said in a low voice.He didn't respond to her words, nor did he move. It seemed as if he didn't hear her words at all. The curtains fluttered in the wind, making his tall body look like a dark silhouette.Sonia slowly approached him. It was not until she smelled a light whisky scent coming from him that she noticed the glass of whisky in his hand.'He's drinking alcohol?' She thought to herself.Thinking of how she saw Leila having dinner all alone in the restaurant in the afternoon, Sonia guesse"Of course. There's even a saying that says 'It takes a decade to stay in a ship together, and a century to..." She stopped her babbling just right before she said the words "to share a bed together" when she saw the look of gloom and disdain in Leila's eyes. The last second, she twisted her tongue and said, "To share a house," instead. She wanted to talk about the fate of their friendship, but the topic was clogged in her throat.It would have been dangerous to talk of such things, and would probably start a fierce cat fight between her and Leila.Daniel had a blank expression throughout the event, but when he heard this, a subtle smile appeared on his face. The thought of him still being the only man who had been in the same bed as her, relieved a lot of the sadness he had been feeling the whole week.When he realized he was slipping and acting strange, he quickly restrained his mouth and acted somewhat annoyed. There was a certain perplexity in th
There was a giant three-layer cake on the table. The bright candle light swayed in the wind, like the stars shining in the night sky."Happy birthday," a gentle voice said from behind.Today was her birthday? Shocked, Sonia looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. It was June 12th.'Oh my God! It really was my birthday,' thought she. She even forgot it herself, and she didn't expect that he would remember it!"Ice guy, how did you know that today is my birthday?" She turned around and looked at him. His cold face was tinted with the same color as the candle light, making it look very warm. The smile on his face was as charming as sunshine. It made ripples in her heart."It is written on our marriage certificate," he said. Then he held her by the shoulder and took her to the table. "Make a wish!"She nodded, put her hands together, and closed her eyes.What was her wish?Over the past fiv
In the camp area, the leader suddenly received a phone call from her boyfriend, who was working for the Weather Bureau. Apparently, the No. 5 wind ball had suddenly turned and condensed into a super typhoon, and it was coming towards them. She told others that they had to go back to the coast immediately, inevitably scaring the girls. They packed up their stuff and jumped on the boat. They were in such a hurry that the leader actually forgot to do a headcount.Only Mandy knew that there was one person who hadn't come back to the campsite.She didn't expect that God would help her teach this insidious green tea bitch a lesson. Well, she deserved to be stuck here and feel the violent storm all alone.Mandy sneered and followed everyone to the boat.Meanwhile, on a dark hillside, Sonia woke up.At once, she felt pain on her forehead and knees.She had no idea what had happened to her. All she knew was that she had been s
On the way back, Sonia’s excitement faded. She felt like she was breaking out in a cold sweat.Mandy told her that she had both good and bad news, but in Sonia’s mind, she didn’t hear any good news at all.‘Oh my gosh. No, no, no. I’m so doomed!’ Sonia realized she was holding her breath and found herself holding her face in frustration.She continued to have a monologue in her thoughts. ‘Why did James have to be one of the judges in this show? Why would I have to see him this way?And why does Fabian even have to be in the same competition as me?Her family is already so wealthy. She doesn’t need this, so why did she have to join? Ugh, it’s not going to be a competition anymore. It’s decided, right? I guess this will be like a walk in the park for her.James will obviously favor Fabian and give her the best scores while I’ll try so hard and it might no
Daniel has always refused to talk about private matters. What was more, he also hated it when others made trouble out of nothing. She didn't want him to be annoyed, and she always knew exactly how she should act in front of him.But how could Sonia do whatever she wanted in front of him without hesitation?Knowing him, he should have hated this kind of woman the most, but how come there was no disgust in his face whenever he looked at her? How could he indulge her, even?"Dan, have you come up with a way to deal with Valery?" Leila asked as if she had thought of something. He had Sonia here and Valery in Dragon City. One was as cunning as a fox and the other was as vicious as a tiger. Leila couldn't feel at ease wherever he was."Not until her men have finished traveling the world," Daniel said with a sneer."I'll go back to Dragon City with you. Tell them that we're going to get married. After all, we used to be..." Daniel inst
Leaving the villa, Fabian went straight to Bella, hoping to find James. She had a lot of questions to ask him.James had already anticipated her arrival. Sitting on the main chair, he looked indifferent and there was a slight sneer on the corners of his mouth."How dare you give me the score eight whereas Sonia gets to have ten? After all, I am your fiancée! I deserve more than her!" She was writhing with both hatred and jealousy.Her words left him unmoved. Slowly, he took a sip of his tea and said, "I was considerate enough to have given you eight. If you hadn't been my fiancée, you would have received the score zero from me.""What... What do you mean?" Fabian stammered, unable to believe her ears. 'Did he actually said those words?' she wondered with fear."Don't think you can fool me. I know all about the dirty tricks you have used to win. And the worst part is, you didn't follow the or
Enemies are bound to meet in a narrow alley. Fabian alone was a hurdle to deal with. And now, with Leila's arrival, things were bound to be harder. Sonia was consumed by fear.If Leila became an unfair judge, it could spoil Sonia's life.As expected, the points that Leila gave were very low, and she also pointed out a lot shortcomings. Relentlessly, she accused Sonia of not following the theme. She also said her work lacked creativity and essence.'What the hell!' Sonia shouted in her mind. According to her, Leila was a petty person who had used personal issues in the professional sphere. It was quite a low blow. On top of that, Daniel could be watching the show right now. 'Aren't you afraid that he will see the ugliness inside you?' she wondered.The two judges who had been bought off by Fabian's family also took the chance to add insult to injury. As ordered by Fabian, one gave her score five and the other gave her six.
"I..." James wanted to say something but stopped after giving it a second thought. At first, he was forced by his mom to give up, and he was afraid that he was too young to give her a future. After that, he went into Bella. He couldn't do anything due to the strife between him and his family. And now, the only thing he could do was put aside his love for her. All of these turned into a kind of silent sorrow that choked his throat."I'll love you more and make up for everything that happened for the past five years," he continued.Sonia put on a smile that was full of sorrow, bitterness, and despair. He did love her, but he did not care about her at all. She had waited him for five years, and had actively confessed her love to him. However, he didn't welcome her in his arms, making her look like a big fool. After getting drunk, she married someone else and lost the most precious innocence that she had been saving for him."Did you ever
Mary was exasperated at his words. Her face turned livid. "Walt, this is Daniel's business. Don't get involved. If you like children, you should have one with Laura as soon as possible." The corners of Walt's mouth twitched slightly. That was his child. How could he not care? "Mommy, Dan is my brother, and Sonia is my sister-in-law. I should care about them." Looking at him gratefully, Sonia said, "Thank you, brother. But it doesn't matter. If Mommy insists, we can do the paternity test." "Don't let mommy affect you. Let's talk about it after the baby is born," Walt tried to comfort her. "No one can affect us," Daniel said coldly. He was getting more and more confused about Mary. Now she seemed to only consider her own feelings and interests, ignoring everything else. Mary seemed to be stung by a bee, and the corners of her mouth tilted to one side. It seemed that Daniel had abandoned his mother and stood on his wife's side again. "Dan, I'm doing this for your own good
Walt punched the wall angrily. "He just wants to take the opportunity to kill my child. I won't let him succeed. I'll take her and the child away!" "Don't be impulsive. If you screw it up, you will not only fail to save the child, but also hurt yourself." "I don't care." Walt almost lost control. He just wanted to send her to the hospital and take away Sonia. "Leave it to Willi. I believe he will find a way. You have to calm down and never act rashly, understand? " Leila warned him. She decided to watch him twenty-four hours in case he ran into the hospital on impulse. The date of Sonia's operation was set on Friday. She posted this news on micro-blog, hoping that her friends could pray for her unborn baby together. In the morning, as soon as she opened her eyes, a doctor came. "Mr. Daniel, I'm going to take your wife to have a B Ultrasound examination before the operation." Daniel nodded, helped Sonia sit on the wheelchair, and followed the doctor to the B Ultrasound
As soon as he entered the villa, the Butler rushed to him. "Mr. Raymond, you finally came back. Madam had a high fever and didn't want to go to the hospital. She didn't allow me to call you either. I'm so worried about her." Daniel ran upstairs in a hurry. Leila was lying on the bed. Her face was red and seemed to be burning. He touched her forehead, which was very hot. "You must have caught a cold in the lake yesterday. Let me send you to the hospital." In a daze, Leila shook her head and said, "No, thank you, Dan. I'm fine. I just need to have a rest." "You have a high fever now. You must go to the hospital." As he spoke, Daniel held her up, let the housekeeper put a blanket over her, and then went out. In the hospital, after checking Leila's blood, the doctor found that her blood picture was abnormal and suggested her to stay in hospital for observation. So Daniel registered for her and let her live in a VIP ward. After the detailed blood analysis report at the medica
"The entertainment circle is a mess. This is so terrible." Sonia made a face. "You are just a passersby. You will return to your fashion circle after finishing the shoot." Daniel stroked her nose with a teasing smile. "I'm worried about Eva. She's straightforward and doesn't have any tricks. Probably she won't notice was someone was plotting against her." Sonia sighed. "Don't worry. I have arranged Demi to be her agent. She is very experienced. I'm sure she will take good care of Eva." Daniel patted her on the shoulder. Demi was a well-known agent of same fame as Riley, who made many stars popular and was very good at doing things. Everybody in the entertainment circle respected her. Hearing that Daniel had let Demi take care of Eva, Sonia felt much more relieved. The scene which was shot on the next day needed to be computer synthesis, so they had almost done it in the studio. The night before yesterday, Jim asked the staff to get the stage prop ready. Eva would have to
It was the first time that she had been lifted on wire. With excitement and freshness, she flew up and down in the air of a few meters, like a fairy. There was not even a moment when the eyes of Daniel were looking away from her. On the one hand, her elegant and fairy like posture fascinated him, and on the other hand, he wanted to ensure her safety. Just as she was fighting with the Demon Warlord, the lifted arm suddenly took a turn, and the steel wire on the wire machine slipped out of its track. The people in the air almost fell straight. Helplessness and fear overwhelmed her. As she fell, Sonia closed her eyes in despair, thinking that she would be smashed to pieces by the accident. However, after a long time, the expected fierce collision did not come. The floor was soft and not hard at all, and her body did not hurt. But she didn't dare to open her eyes. Her heart was still pounding in extreme fear until she heard an anxious voice, "You little fool, are you all right
"Anyway, don't make our marriage a condition in the future, okay?" Daniel flicked her forehead as a punishment. She frowned and looked at his serious face, as if their marriage was holy and inviolable. It was just a cooperation, but they had to be covered with a layer of gorgeous gauze. Wasn't it hypocritical? "Icy guy, the reason why you agreed to help me and refused to divorce me was because you wanted me to come to Dragon City to stop your marriage with Valery, isn't it?" She was about to tear up this piece of cloth. "Do you still think so?" He frowned slightly. "Is there any change?" She sneered. He lowered his head and sighed, his breath drifting in the sea breeze. "I admit that I had this idea at the beginning, but later I had another one." "What idea?" She pouted. "Let you be my real wife." He said solemnly and frankly. That's because you can't marry Leila. You take me as a substitute by the way! She thought to herself. "So you forced me to stay with you no ma
After sitting at the bar counter, Sonia ordered a cup of long island ice tea. Daniel frowned slightly. Because only people who was disappointed with love would drink that. This was what she always ordered on that fool's day. Now that James had a new girl to serve, was she feeling uncomfortable? "This wine is not for you." He said gloomily, and exchanged a glass of zero degree cocktail named rainbow for her. "It is just a cup of wine. Not a person. What is in it not fitting for me?" She sneered. "Long island ice tea is the most famous wine for being lovelorn. Are you lovelorn?" His voice was like the rainstorm around the waves. She understood what he meant. His desire of control and possessiveness came to naught again. She couldn't let him hurt James again because of her unintentional move. "Is it appropriate to ask your wife about that?" She asked. "Well, I'm sorry that I made a slip of the tongue. I'm such a good guy. My wife must be good too." He curled his lips into a fai
Lying on the lounge chair at the terrace, Sonia seemed to have just won a battle, with unprecedented happiness on her face. Daniel came in with a medicine bottle in his hand. "Take this later." Finally, he bought her the medicine. She took it over smilingly, with complete incomprehensible words on it. It must have been bought from abroad. "Thank you, freezing guy." She smiled, not noticing the hidden cunning in his eyes. "Take only one piece every day. Don't eat too much." She pouted and opened the bottle and took one immediately. Sweet? No way. Her husband was so strong, and the birth control pills were also as delicious as candy. No wonder he asked her not to eat too much. "Honey, take your medicine. Are you relieved now?" He smirked. She took a deep breath again, and it was too late to escape. The storm of 'mistresses' had just subsided, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the man's first love showed up. It turned out that at her 25th birt
"Then you know if you are happy or not, right?" He lifted her chin and forced her to look at him. "Tell me the truth, when you were with me, you had never been a little happy?" After taking a glance at him, she looked away. His aggressiveness made her feel very oppressed. "Well, when you were still a poor hobo, we were happy in the small cabin." She nodded her head honestly and then turned the tone. "But now, there is nothing but trouble that can't see the end of trouble." Even if there was temporary happiness, it was like fireworks, quickly swallowed up by endless darkness. "If I am still a hobo, will you fall in love with me?" He asked in a low voice. Anyway, he felt a little comforted. She kept silent for a while, and answered in a low voice, "I don't know, maybe yes, maybe not." After a pause, she continued, "But certainly not someone as you now." "Am I now worse than a jobless vagabond?" He raised his eyebrows. There were so many women admiring him, but they did not onl
