Freya sighed. “I’m finally back in Melbourne and just want to have some peace and quiet. I don’t want to have any classmates gathering. Oh, is this kid yours? He looks just like you.”“Honey, greet Aunty Freya.” Harley said, “He’s my son, Sammy. I didn’t want to take him out today, but it just so happened that no one is at home.”“Hello, Aunty.” The little boy looked up and smiled, but he seemed slightly antsy. He was not running around only because Harley was holding onto him. Freya was a little annoyed. It was not as fun to shop and chat with a child around.Just then, Harley suddenly looked behind her with her eyes lit up. “There’s a man behind you. He’s so handsome and beautiful. He’s even more good-looking than celebrities.”Freya paused and turned around, only to see Rodney-Flashy-Snow walking up to her with a bottle of mineral water.“Dear, I got the water you wanted.”He even unscrewed the bottle cap for her.Harley’s eyes widened as she blurted out, “Are you keeping a
“You didn’t say anything about bringing Young Master Snow, so how would I know? I’ve never seen him before.” Harley whispered, “Besides, he’s really handsome. He’s like a hunk. I remember you said that Young Master Snow was an old man in his thirties…”“Uh… Isn’t someone in their thirties old? I’m only in my twenties.” Freya said brazenly. “He only looks younger than his age.”“Forget it. My husband is the same age as me, but he looks like he’s in his thirties and forties. He has also gained some weight in recent years.” Harley sighed. “If I had known, I wouldn’t have gotten married right after graduating from college. Your husband is much more handsome.”“Forget it. Will being handsome feed me?” Freya retorted.Harley blinked. “Of course it can. Otherwise, how would you have taken a fancy to Patrick? But Patrick is not as good-looking as Young Master Snow.”Freya was speechless. Fine, she does judge people by their faces, but even she has her standards.“I’m envious of you,” H
“He even knows how to take care of children. Look how patient he is with that boy.”“I want a dozen men like this.”“...”From the side, Freya enjoyed becoming the focus of envy.Tsk tsk. She had to say that this feeling was quite good.In the past, only Catherine could experience being a handsome and domineering president’s wife. However, Freya finally experienced it for herself now.The ring on her hand was really beautiful.Also… for the first time, she did not find Rodney’s face as revolting and annoying....At noon.The four of them ate outside.Rodney took the child to wash his hands.Harley looked Freya deep in the eye. “Are you deliberately trying to aggravate me by asking me out today? I want to change my husband now.”“I didn’t. He wasn’t like this before,” Freya said stiffly. “Maybe it’s because we quarreled yesterday and brought up divorce, so he’s deliberately trying to please me.”Harley let out a long sigh. “If such a good thing happens after quarreling to
Freya knew better than anyone how capable Linda was. When Linda was Patrick’s secretary, there were many things that she could not do well. However, all she did was act like a spoiled child, and with the help of several secretaries behind her, she pretended to be capable and innocent in front of Patrick.Harley agreed. “Patrick is also an idiot. With your brother’s ability, the Lynch family is prospering more than ever. If he had stayed with you back then, the Jackson family wouldn’t end up a joke in Melbourne like they are now.”Freya took a sip of milk tea and was about to say something when her eyes suddenly froze. She quickly lowered her head. “We really can’t talk about people behind their backs. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.”Harley froze and hurriedly looked over, only to see Patrick on the other side of the aisle. However, there were partitions in the middle, so he did not see them. Instead, he went straight to the second-last table at the back. Opposite him sat a
“Linda, I already told you. We’re over.”Patrick tiredly drew his hand back.Linda immediately exploded. “I don’t agree. I love you. I love you so much. I would die without you. Patrick, did you forget what you said to me? You said that you wouldn’t let me down and that you would marry me. How can you do this to me?”If it were in the past, Patrick might be soft-hearted. However, after experiencing so many things in Canberra and personally seeing how close she was to someone like Rebecca Jones...Patrick felt like his head was about to explode.Ever since he returned to Melbourne, he felt something trapped in his chest. He held it back, but it felt like it would explode at any moment.“You love me?” He let out a sorrowful chuckle. “When did you fall in love with me? Was it three years ago, or was it before that? That was why… Freya and I broke up, right?”Linda shuddered, but she refused to admit it. Instead, she cried softly, “In fact, you wanted to break up with me because you
Of course, Patrick also understood that their statuses were different now. She was a princess and the pearl of the Lynch family, whereas he was just the fallen Young Master of the Jackson family.“Patrick, let’s go.” Linda tugged at Patrick apprehensively.Since Rebecca was dead, she did not dare to provoke Freya and Rodney anymore.“What? Why are you running when you see me?” Rodney’s lips curled into a sneer. “Weren’t you quite happy throwing in your lot with Rebecca? Oh, by the way, that friend of yours was also found to be a fraudster, and her entire family had gone to jail. It was a huge fraud involving hundreds of billions. I remember you had a really good relationship with her back then. You weren’t dragged into it, were you? Did the police investigate you?”“No, I didn’t…” Linda panicked, and her face turned white as snow. “I’m not familiar with Rebecca at all.”“Not familiar?” Rodney smiled wickedly. “That can’t be. Back then, Rebecca even introduced you to the former pri
Patrick was speechless.It did seem like he was too hasty.In other words, he should not have come over to plead for mercy at all.It made it seem as if he cared about Linda when, in fact, it was Linda who caused Freya and him to end up in this position...“You don’t need to plead for Linda either. She has already slipped away.” Rodney jerked his chin at the door with contempt.That was when Patrick realized that Linda had quietly slipped away while he was pleading for her mercy.At that moment, his heart went cold.For that woman, he had misunderstood Freya and lost his first love.Hah...Up until just now, he thought that he would help Linda one last time even though he had broken up with her.“Aren’t you leaving?” Rodney stood in front of Freya, his eyes full of contempt.Patrick was too ashamed to stay. With that, he turned around and staggered away.Only then did the surrounding people, who were watching the show, disperse one after another.Harley said nosily, “Did L
Freya was dumbfounded. She did not expect to have bought so much as well...Rodney rushed forward and said, “Mom, it’s not Freya’s fault. I paid for all of these. I didn’t think it through when I bought them. I was careless. How about this? I’ll see if there are any empty villas in this neighborhood. I’ll buy it for Freya to store her stuff in.”Mrs. Lynch was stunned. Buying a villa to store stuff?Well. The life of rich people was something she could not understand.“That’s not necessary. Even if you’re rich…”“It doesn’t matter. Besides, Freya is my only wife. What would I spend my money on if not on her? It’s just a villa. It won’t cost me much.”Rodney was a man with deep pockets.Mrs. Lynch could not refute. Since he said it would not cost much, what else could she say?Freya frowned. She really did not want to spend Rodney’s money.However, it seemed a little too late to write it off now. After all, she already had him pay for so much of her stuff that morning. Forget
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
