In the end, Freya chose to wear a branded black maxi dress for the occasion.Of course, the dress was unable to highlight the S-shaped curves she used to have, but it could at least hide her rolls of fat.That night, Freya and Rodney attended the banquet together while carrying Dani.Rodney wore an apricot-colored suit with a shirt, vest, tie, and coat. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked like a star walking on the red carpet.Freya felt sad for herself. She was probably the first woman who paled into insignificance when compared to her other half. The minute they walked in, she saw many young women fixing their sparkling eyes on Rodney. Those women then glanced at Freya, their eyes carrying an inexpressible feeling... Freya was at a loss for words.Why did they have to go so far? After all, she used to be a ravishingly beautiful woman as well.She swore that she had to start going on a diet from tomorrow onward. She must strive to get her perfect body back within the n
The sudden flirting left Catherine feeling dazed. By the time she came to her senses, she wished the ground would swallow her up.“Great job, Shaun.” Rodney threw an admiring look at Shaun.“What are you guys talking about?” Lucas and Suzie looked confused.Catherine’s pretty face instantly flushed. “Nothing much. Go and eat your food.”Upon hearing her words, Suzie ran off while Lucas shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to follow Suzie to look after her.“Cathy, I noticed that you and Shaun have become fairer after you guys spent one month in Country Y. Your fair skin is glowing.” Freya sighed.“It’s probably because I was drinking milk every day there,” Catherine said with a smile, “Let’s chat over there.”After the two women walked away, Rodney hit Shaun’s chest in admiration. “Shaun, tell me how you did it.”“... What are you saying?” Shaun was baffled.Rodney approached him. “Didn’t you break up with Catherine before this? Yet you got her into bed so soon. I d
“Hehe. Are you sure Shaun is willing to stay with you without a proper title?” Freya asked gloatingly. Catherine sighed. “Furthermore, I think this kind of life makes me feel more at ease. What about you? How has Rodney been doing this month? I noticed that he has dark circles and has also slimmed down…”“Really?” Freya was startled.“Can’t you tell the changes? They’re so obvious.” Catherine threw a strange glance at her. “Forget it. You’ve been living with him every day, so you’re used to seeing him. That’s probably why you can’t tell.”“...”Freya was speechless. A complicated feeling crept into her heart.Indeed, Rodney had slimmed down. It seemed he had not been able to sleep well this month.“Having said that, you’ve done quite a great job at torturing him,” Catherine said with a grin, “If you hadn’t made him look after the child, he wouldn’t have known how tough it is to raise a child.”After hearing those words, Freya suppressed the twinge of guilt that she felt.As a
...Melbourne.Zenith Hotel.Freya was halfway through her meal when Dani got hungry. The baby would not say anything even when she was hungry. She only knew how to cry.Freya could only carry Dani to a private room to feed her.After feeding Dani, she heard a few elite ladies discussing just as she came out. They were standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows ahead of her.“Did you guys see the picture on the internet?”“Are you talking about the picture of Young Master Snow’s family? I saw it too. The netizens are saying that Freya has gotten fatter.”“She really did get fatter. Look at the black dress she’s wearing today. Does she think we can’t see that she has become fat if she wore a loose dress? Moreover, black doesn’t suit her at all. It looks old-fashioned.”“There’s no helping it. Even though the prime minister has acknowledged her as his goddaughter, it can’t change the fact that she’s from a small place.”“Ah, who doesn’t know that the Snow family had no c
“You…”That elite lady was exasperated. The remaining few elite ladies felt the anger radiating from Rodney. They did not dare to say a word.After a while, an elite lady in a pink dress said, “Young Master Snow, we mean no harm. We were just chatting. Look, we often used to hang out with each other in the past. Give us a way out, okay?”“You’re asking me to let you off, but did you show me any respect when you were gossiping about my wife behind her back?”Rodney let out a cold hmph. “Besides, I didn’t hang out with you guys all that often. We just met a few times during banquets, chatted a little, and played a few rounds of games. That was many years ago.”“Young Master Rodney, don’t be too much.”It was as if the elite lady in pink was hit in the face by her own words. It was very awkward.“So what if I’m too much? Who do you think you guys are? However, since you think it’s too much, none of you here have to attend any banquets held by the Snow family in the future.”Rodney
Freya’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly picked up the call.“Where did you bring Dani to? You’re not in the private room. I didn’t see you in the banquet hall either.”“I got lost. I’ll head to the banquet hall immediately.”Freya calmed down and spoke with complicated feelings.Rodney unconsciously blurted, “You stu—”He held himself back just as the words were about to spill from his mouth.No. He had to control himself so that they would not end up getting a divorce.“What were you going to say?” Freya asked. If it were before, she would definitely become furious. However, thinking back to the scene of him helping her just now, she did not let herself get angry. “Were you going to say that I’m stupid?”“No,” Rodney said with difficulty. “It’s normal to lose your way. I almost got lost too. Do you need me to go get you?”“No need.”After Freya hung up, she strangely felt like laughing.Rodney did not lose his way at all just now. He was so familiar with this place it was
After Freya waited in the car for a few minutes, Rodney opened the door to the back seat and got in. “Why were they looking for you just now?” Freya asked, pretending not to know anything after hesitating for a moment.“Nothing, they just wanted some help from me but I refused. I’m not close to them,” Rodney said as he naturally carried Dani over from Freya’s arms.Actually, those elite ladies were forced by their parents to apologize to him and Freya. However, he did not let them meet Freya. He also warned them, saying that he did not intend to forgive them and they should not even think about looking for Freya to beg for mercy. If Freya knew the truth, the elite ladies would only end up in a worse situation.He believed that after his warning, those people would not dare to pester Freya,As for the truth, there was no need for Freya to know about it. Even if she did, it would only fuel her anger. After all, that woman cared about her figure more than anybody else.However,
“You even said that my waist resembles a pail before this…” Freya pouted.“I don’t dislike your figure. I said those words out of anger that time,” Rodney said, “Besides, I’m not that sc*mmy. You gained weight because you gave birth to my child. I know that clearly. Don’t take the netizens’ comments to heart. Those people are just jealous of you. Think about it. You gave birth to a pretty, adorable little princess who’s the center of all attention. How can they not be envious? Even many female guests were envious of you today. Some people are just sour because they don’t have your life.”After he spoke, the car went silent for a while.Freya gazed at him deeply. She did not expect that there would be a day when such pleasant words would come out of Rodney’s mouth.She had to admit that his words lightened up her mood. “Why are you… looking at me like that? I didn’t say anything wrong, right?” Rodney asked nervously.“No, I think you said it quite well.” Freya nodded.Rodney’s e
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
