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
Chester said, “Isn’t that quite good? Ryan is a member of the Snow family too. Freya can still take care of Dani. Moreover, if Dani has a prime minister’s wife as a mother, she’ll have Australia in the palm of her hands.”“Why would my daughter want Australia in the palm of her hands? She’s only a month old!”Rodney almost died from anger because of them. “Are you guys still my brothers? Are your words even human language?”“We’re just stating the truth.”Chester took a sip of red wine and put down the wine glass. There was confusion in his gaze. “What about you? You kept saying you didn’t want a divorce. You said it’s for Dani’s sake, but after we helped you analyze it, either a divorce or not will still impact Dani. So what are you struggling with? Is it really for the sake of the child or a woman?”Chester got straight to the point. Rodney was taken aback. He was at a loss.Shaun snorted. “You can’t even feel whether you like a woman or not?”Like?Did he like Freya?Rodn
“Sc*mbag.” After Rodney complained, he gulped down the wine.“I have to leave.” Shaun stood up. “I want to go back home to be with Cathy.”Rodney was dumbfounded. He was angry too. “Do you have to do this? You guys were with each other all the time overseas. We only met this one time in a month.”“If it weren’t for you bawling in the group chat, I wouldn’t even have come over.” Shaun glanced at Rodney indifferently. “Do you really want to stay here? If you didn’t fight with Freya, you wouldn’t have thought of us, right?”“...”Rodney was rendered speechless.In the past, he liked to have fun with his brothers. At that moment… He suddenly wanted to return home to take care of his child… Then cook something for Freya to replenish her body.Why did he become like this? He was shocked.Had he become a househusband? “Err… I just recalled I have something to do. I’ll be leaving first.”Rodney stumbled as he stood up. He walked even faster than Shaun.“...”What on earth did Rodn
Mrs. Lynch said, “It’s because she’s not accustomed to the change in environment. Rodney spends the most time with her, so she probably wants her father to hold her…”“Mom, don’t say his name.”Hearing his name now made Freya angry. Even when she looked at the little bundle in her arms, she felt a little resentful. “Do you really want that *sshole Rodney? Let me tell you. He only took care of you for a while. I was the one who worked so hard to give birth to you. You’re so heartless.”As if she understood that her Mommy was accusing her, Little Dani cried even harder.“Why are you blaming her? She’s still so young. What would she know? She’ll hurt her throat crying.”Mrs. Lynch quickly carried Dani and coaxed her.Freya sat on the bed, looking exhausted and bewildered.She really did not know how her life ended up like this.Under Mrs. Lynch’s patient coaxing, Dani finally fell asleep.After placing Dani in the cot, Mrs. Lynch said, “Rodney is at the door…”“Don’t let him in.
Then, Freya turned around and walked into the villa.She was just a tool to give birth and breastfeed anyway.How much affection would the child have for her?Stunned, Rodney quickly chased after her. “Freya, what do you mean? Don’t involve the child in our quarrels. She’s innocent. How can a child leave her mother? If she leaves you today, she’ll definitely cry even harder.”He did not know which word triggered Freya, but she suddenly broke down and cried.She turned around and screamed with eyes full of tears. “Do you think I want to leave her? She’s my flesh and blood. But what can I do? Do you want me to suffer with you for the sake of the child? I’ve had enough. I can’t give her a complete home. Your family is so powerful, so I can’t fight you either, and I don’t want to continue this marriage anymore. I’m so tired.”Rodney looked at her red eyes, at a loss.She cried again.She just wanted to divorce him. She was even willing to give up the child.His heart clenched pain
Before long, Rodney walked over.He had changed into one of Forrest’s black shirts. It was the first time she saw him wearing such a dark color. However, coupled with his beautiful eyes, it changed his temperament completely. He seemed a little duller and more mature now.“I’m sorry…” He walked up to her and said in a low voice, “I spoke in a fit of anger yesterday. I didn’t mean it—”“When are you going to divorce me?” Freya interrupted him.Rodney froze and said after a moment, “I won’t divorce you. You saw how Dani was last night. Whether she leaves you or me, she won’t be able to sleep through the night. She’ll cry easily too. Although she slept with me last night, she still got up and cried twice.”Freya sneered. “She only cried because she wanted my milk.”Rodney frowned. “Freya, why do we have to drag Dani into our quarrels? She’s just a child who doesn’t know anything.”Freya felt like she was stabbed in the heart. “Do you think I want to do this? I hate seeing myself li
Rodney’s beautiful face in front of her suddenly sank in sadness.Freya’s heart softened at such a good-looking face. She could not bear to see him like this.“Actually, you aren’t that bad. You just fell in love with a love rat when you were young. Wasn’t I the same? Besides, the one who was hurt the most wasn’t you but Shaun. He got divorced and almost lost his money, as well as any chance of a future with Cathy and his children. Sarah spent his money for more than ten years. To be honest, if Cathy didn’t save him, he would probably still be cheated by Sarah now.”Rodney froze.What she said seemed true.When it came to being cheated by Sarah, did he have it as bad as Shaun?He suddenly felt like praising Shaun. That man was also an idiot.Freya continued, “Besides, don’t think Chester has high EQ either. Hah. Wasn’t he deceived by Sarah too? Back then, when the three of you targeted Cathy, he was also on your side. In the end, Sarah’s schemes were just too good.”Rodney look
What did Rodney say?He must have gone mad.Freya stood up in a panic. However, she did not notice that her feet were hooked to the stool, so she fell backward onto the ground with the chair.Pain shot up her body.She wanted to cry.Sure enough, Rodney and she were not compatible at all.“Are you okay? Get up.” Rodney quickly reached out to pick her and the chair up. “Did you hurt yourself?”He reached out to touch the back of her head and even rubbed it gently.Freya avoided him in fright. “Rodney Snow, are you possessed?”Rodney’s handsome face darkened. It was not easy for him to muster the courage to reveal his feelings, but he did not expect Freya to think of him like this.“I’m very clear-headed now.”He gritted his teeth and said stiffly, “Is it so strange that I like you?”“Of course it is. The two of us have done nothing but fight and quarrel ever since we met.” Freya pursed her lips with mixed feelings. “And you’ve done so many things to hurt me…”“That was in t
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
