Freya secretly glanced at Jessica. She saw that her back was trembling slightly.After standing there for a while, Jessica left in her high heels, looking elegant and restrained.It was as if the sight of her trembling just now was Freya’s imagination. Freya stood there in a daze for some time until someone knocked on her head.Ryan’s tall and upright figure was standing in front of her. He smiled and asked, “Why are you standing here in a daze?”“I’m meditating.” Freya was stunned. She quickly leaned against the rocks and looked up at the sky.The corners of Ryan’s mouth twitched. “Do you think I’m stupid? Never mind. Many of the Snow family’s relatives are here today, and you don’t recognize most of them. Staying here will be quieter.”“That’s right. Even if they seem to be warm to me, I’m still a person who came from a small place in those wealthy people’s eyes. I’m too lazy to socialize with them.” Freya shrugged her shoulders.“This place is quite boring. I’ll bring you t
“I see…”Freya felt a little stifled. “Giving up love and sacrificing marriage to gain benefits. Actually, being born in wealthy families like yours is quite miserable… Never mind. Maybe Jessica doesn’t find it miserable. For some people, the benefits of the family are greater than anything else.”She was not fond of Jessica at all.It was because Jessica had swapped her contraceptives that she became pregnant.“Don’t put it that way. Some people don’t have a choice.”Ryan sighed and said, “Jessica is our eldest sister. The family placed a lot of responsibilities on her. When we were young, Rodney, Carson, and I were pretty mischievous. The Snow family is very strict with the younger ones, but we only wanted to play. We had to learn Chinese when we were two years old, French at three, and German at four. Which child would like to study those things at such a young age? That’s why we skipped classes, threw tantrums, and didn’t want to study. My grandpa was very strict at that time.
Rodney entered with an awful expression.From Rodney’s angle of view, it looked like Ryan was hugging Freya from behind. His chin was almost resting on her shoulders. His hands were also holding her arms, and they were in an intimate position.A wave of fury burned in Rodney’s chest, rushing to his brain.He knew that Ryan treated Freya well, but he did not think they were doing that behind his back…“I’m teaching her how to play pool.” Ryan straightened his body calmly.“Move aside.” Rodney went over in large strides and shoved him away. “I can teach her how to play pool too. There’s no need for you to do it.”“Rodney, your words are too much.” Freya was dissatisfied seeing Rodney’s hostile attitude toward Ryan. “I’m too much?” After Rodney was accused, his handsome face was grim with anger. “You—”“It’s alright, Freya. Rodney is just jealous seeing me teaching you pool and standing so close to you.” Ryan was afraid that Rodney would say unpleasant words and start a quarrel.
After gritting her teeth and glaring at Rodney, Freya left.She initially had some good feelings about him that day, but they were all destroyed now. Rodney, who had nowhere to lash out his anger, could only glare at Ryan. “Don’t you know that it’s inappropriate for a man and woman to be too close to each other? Ryan, keep a distance from your sister-in-law in the future.”“If you still don’t know how to treasure her, I don’t mind closing in the distance between Freya and me.” Ryan raised his gentle eyebrows.“What do you mean by that?” Rodney’s heart sank. He grabbed Ryan’s collar. “Don’t forget that Freya is your father’s goddaughter. She’s nominally your sister.”“Yes, it’s quite unfortunate. Why did such a good woman become my sister? However, the title of a goddaughter can be revoked.” Ryan smiled patiently. “As long as someone has power and influence, anything can be done.”Rodney felt a wave of chills in his heart.He knew his cousin well. Although Ryan might look gentle
When Freya saw Rodney, she recalled that he had admitted she was tasteless like chicken ribs. Her expression became indifferent. She smiled and said, “No need. I can pay myself…”“Why? It’s natural for a husband to pay when his wife loses money,” Rodney’s maternal cousin spoke up too.“Alright, I’ll pay.” Rodney took out his phone to make the payment.Freya did not say anything when she saw that. It was just a small amount of cash to Rodney anyway. After making the payment, Rodney turned his head and spoke to Freya, “Come out for a while. I have something to tell you.”“Ooh, what secret are you guys going to talk about?” Aunt Millie teased them. “You can just say it here. Let us listen too. If you don’t want to do that, wait till we’re done playing poker. I barely had the chance to play poker with Freya.”“That’s right.” The other aunts at the side agreed while smiling.“I’m busy. I don’t have time.” Freya did not even look at the man beside her.Hmph, why did she have to go o
“Why are you crying?” Rodney feared it most when women cry. He was utterly flustered.He was not even that flustered when Sarah cried in the past. After all, he knew that Freya rarely cried in front of him. The time she cried the hardest was on the day she gave birth.“Get lost,” Freya said with a hoarse voice. At the same time, she looked toward him with a calm and cold gaze.“You… What’s wrong with you?” Rodney was at a loss. He would rather Freya throw a tantrum than being in that state. It was like the calm before a storm. “Is it because you lost some money just now? It’s okay. It’s just a small amount of money.”Freya laughed in anger.Did he not have a f*cking clue as to why she was crying?Of course, the most saddening thing was that he did not have a f*cking clue at all.“Rodney, let go. I don’t want to see you.” Freya was terrified she could not resist charging over to bite him if she saw him again.“Don’t lash out your anger on me. If you had played according to what
Wendy’s body trembled in fury. “Today is the baby’s one-month celebration. As parents, can you two be more sensible? Why did you have to upset your wife on this day?”Rodney was stunned. He never thought that Freya would have such a big reaction. “I did not. She was the one who angered me.”Aunt Millie snapped, “Who’s making who unhappy now? We were there playing poker properly, yet you, a man, kept ordering Freya what to do. Your tone was filled with disdain toward her, and you even said she was stupid in front of so many people. Freya was being extra nice to you by tolerating it and not telling you off.”“That’s right, Rodney. You didn’t care about Freya’s image when you spoke just now. Everyone just wanted to have fun playing poker. If we lost, so be it. Besides, we women don’t know how to count the cards as you men do, and you kept nagging. If it were your sister-in-law, I would’ve asked her to get lost. Freya truly has a good temper.”“Moreover, she just gave birth. It might b
He was exasperated. He called Chester and Shaun out for drinks at a club.They arrived late at 7:00 p.m.“You guys are too much. I called you guys at 5:00 p.m., yet you only arrived now.” Rodney was upset and threw a tantrum. There was no sign of his high spirits from the baby’s one-month celebration during the day.“I only came out after having a meal with Cathy and the kids,” Shaun said indifferently. He was puzzled. Was taking care of the children and accompanying his wife at home bad? Why did he have to be with two guys here? It was utterly boring.Rodney was depressed. “Are your wife and children more important than your brother?”“What else?” Shaun raised his eyebrows as if Rodney had asked a stupid question.Rodney’s wounded heart was scattered with salt. He turned around to look at Chester. “What about you? I remember you don’t have a wife or children.”“I was delayed because of a patient.” Chester sat on a tall chair and poured a glass of red wine. “You have a wife and
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
