“No need.” Patrick shook his head and rejected Linda’s offer.…At noon, Patrick had lunch with the supervision department and offered them some benefits. Only then did he find out that Rodney was the mastermind behind the incident.He immediately drove to Osher Corporation.Rodney did not allow Patrick to come up and made him wait two hours downstairs. After two hours, Patrick knocked on the door and entered Rodney’s office. In the spacious office, he saw Rodney leaning on the leather chair with his legs lazily placed on the desk. Rodney was throwing the darts in his hand onto the wall. Obviously, he was not skillful as the darts did not hit the red bullseye.“F*ck. How unlucky,” Rodney cursed.The assistant then reminded, “President Snow, Patrick is here.”Only then did Rodney lift his eyes and turn his gaze to Patrick, who was wearing a blue shirt and a pair of black pants. He had to admit that Patrick had a decent appearance. Although he was far more attractive than Patr
Rodney kept quiet.His silence signified acknowledgment.After being struck by the thought, Patrick still did not understand how Freya made this request to Rodney. “Young Master Snow, aren’t you… into Sarah?”Since Rodney was fond of Sarah, why was he helping Freya and turning against him?All Patrick wanted was to clarify the issue, yet he was unaware that his question had hit a nerve in Rodney, causing him to feel infuriated and ashamed.Indeed, everyone knew that Rodney was fond of Sarah, but that woman cuckolded him.“Who I like is none of your damn business.” Rodney’s expression was grim.A surge of emotions overwhelmed Patrick deep down. He could not help but say, “Young Master Snow, you used to be part of the Snow family, after all. Why are you always swearing—”“Who said those from wealthy families can’t swear?” Rodney interrupted him. His charming eyes were filled with sarcasm. “You don’t swear, but you enjoy playing the field. Well, it’s better for people to speak har
Patrick was stunned. “Actually, aside from the matter with Linda, Freya is fine…”Rodney scoffed. “You gave a long-winded explanation about how innocent you and Linda are, claiming that Linda has sacrificed a lot for you. Isn’t it safe to say that Linda has feelings for you? You kept someone who likes you by your side, but you didn’t allow your girlfriend to grumble about it. Did you think Freya was a saint?Patrick’s mouth hung open.Rodney directly rose to his feet. “When you were about to meet Freya’s parents, you immediately abandoned her to look for the woman who likes you just because she was met with an accident. Why didn’t you call Freya to explain it or bring her along?”Patrick’s handsome face paled little by little.Rodney snorted. “You were so busy with work that you didn’t have time to accompany her. All she did was grumble about it, she didn’t even initiate a break-up. Instead of being content, you kept finding fault with her. Have you ever thought that she had also
At that moment, Freya’s pretty eyes were filled with sarcasm as she looked at Patrick.“Freya...” Patrick went absent-minded for a moment. “Why are you here?”“If I hadn’t come here, I wouldn’t have gotten to listen to you talking about our past. I could hear that you felt wronged many times when you dated me. It must’ve been difficult and hard for you to put up with me.” Freya chuckled and mocked him.Patrick felt strangely ashamed. He recalled Rodney’s words from just now. His recount had only consisted of Freya’s shortcomings.Actually, there were times when she was good too…However, it was not the time to talk about those things.“Freya, can’t we just separate peacefully?” Patrick said in agony, “You have a high status now. Linda won’t be able to harm you at all. Let bygones be bygones.”“Of course, the matters between us can be bygones. However, Linda owes me a life. That can never be forgotten.” Freya looked at Patrick coldly. “You’d better let go of that woman quickly.
“Forget it. Since you helped me this time, I’ll treat you to a meal,” Freya suddenly said, “There’s a Mexican restaurant that’s quite good downstairs. I’ll treat you to that.”Rodney was taken aback. He was surprised. “O-Okay.”...It was about time to get off work too.Rodney immediately closed his computer and followed her downstairs.The Mexican restaurant was just at the adjacent building. Freya ordered a serving of quesadillas, guacamole, nachos, and some other dishes.Rodney glanced at the menu. He could not resist saying, “This place is a little too cheap, I…”“What? Are you expecting me to treat you to expensive food?” Freya blinked her eyes. “You’re not worth me spending more than 500 dollars.”“...”Rodney was speechless. “No, I can treat you. I don’t have the habit of letting women pay the bill.”“No, I already said I’m treating you.” Freya shook her head.“Then I’ll treat you to a meal next time,” Rodney said hurriedly. There was a word for that. It was to recipr
“Freya, that night… when you suddenly cried... I thought it was because of me and Chester. Actually, it was because you met Patrick, right?”Rodney suddenly said, “Hearing him say those words today, I’m guessing he said some unpleasant words that night that made you lose control. You don’t have to pay him any mind. Patrick is not a good person. He’s just a fool like I was in the past. He’s not worth you being sad over.”“I wasn’t sad because of him. I stopped loving him a long time ago. I was just… discontent. I worked hard and gave my everything, yet in the end, it still wasn’t good enough for him.”“I understand. It’s just like how I treated Sarah. In the end, she treated me as a backup—an idiotic person and a fool. In fact, she utterly looks down on me. I can’t understand which part of me made her look down on me. I graduated from a renowned university. The company that I established…”Rodney paused. He suddenly said, “Why don’t I order some wine? You can drink water. It’s not f
However, Freya must be very clear about it too.She might seem silly, but actually, she understood some things clearly.A girl like her was so transparent that it strangely made people feel bad for her....The next day.It was already late in the morning when Rodney woke up.He sat up abruptly and realized the place looked familiar. However, he could not remember where he was for a while.Then, Ryan walked in. “Brother Rodney, you’re awake.”Rodney was stunned for a few seconds, then he remembered. This was Ryan’s place.“You finally acknowledge me.” Rodney shot Ryan an icy glare. “You didn’t answer when I called you last time. I even thought you’d never acknowledge me as your cousin again.”Ryan laughed. “You know I have to obey Grandpa’s words. If Grandpa hadn’t agreed, I wouldn’t be addressing you as my brother either.”“Agree?”Rodney was puzzled. “Agree to what?”“Agree to let you come back to the Snow family.”Ryan leaned on the cupboard lazily. He folded his arms
“Why are you so nervous?” Ryan smiled vaguely. “You don’t even have any feelings for her. You should be happy that there’s an excellent man who likes her.”“...”Rodney went silent for a moment from being rebuked and then spoke again, “I’m just afraid that the Snow family will become a joke, okay? Moreover, Uncle Nathan is about to be the prime minister. Shouldn’t you, as his son, create less trouble for him?”“I have no problems with my behavior, and I’m more well-behaved than you. You have no right to say those words to me,” Ryan retorted. He was unconvinced. Rodney let out a hmph. “Anyway, Grandpa will never agree to let you marry a pregnant woman. Your parents won’t allow it either. Don’t make a mess to the point you get chased out of the Snow family like me.”“Aren’t you coming back now after being chased out? How will you know the results without trying to fight for something?” Ryan folded his arms across his chest. He looked languid.“You…” Rodney gritted his teeth speech
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
