“This will enhance our relationship with the kids. There’s nothing bad about it.” Shaun kissed Catherine’s cheek. “What’s more, Suzie loves bragging the most. Every time we go to her preschool, her classmates will always say that we’re the most good-looking parents. I reckon it’s not possible to find a greater match than us in Australia.”If he had said this back then, Catherine would have teased him by asking, “Are we a couple?” However, she was not in the mood today. “Who’s in charge of Snowden right now?”Shaun was momentarily stunned. “It seems like ever since Dani was born, Uncle Nathan has handed power over to Rodney. Why are you suddenly asking me this?”Catherine frowned.During her conversation with Freya, she doubted whether Rodney was actually hiding Sarah even though he claimed that he would get Snowden members to hunt her down. If he meant to hide the truth, he would definitely keep it a secret from everyone, which would make finding Sarah more difficult. “Nothing mu
Any woman would long for a wedding.Furthermore, when some people gossiped about Freya, she felt ashamed.Freya instantly went quiet. Rodney froze too. After glancing at the woman beside him, he was racked with guilt. “Yeah, we must have a wedding.”“We’ll hold it before the new year then.” Old Master Snow said in a good mood, “Make it grand. You can book an island in Albany.”“Yeah.” Wendy agreed joyfully. “We’ll have a helicopter to pick the bride. As for the wedding gown, we’ll hire the best designer to design it.”Jason also agreed. “Get the preparation started tomorrow. Let’s leave it to your mom to hire the best wedding team. Alright, Freya?”Upon hearing it, Freya was stunned. Only after a while did she come to her senses and answer, “Yes. I think that’s a good idea.”“Good.” Old Master Snow said, “Rodney, you’d better put more effort into the wedding and be serious about it. There will be a lot of wealthy and noble people attending your wedding. What’s more, it’s Freya
Rodney opened the door and entered the apartment straight away. After turning on the flashlight on his phone, he saw Sarah in a thin laced dress lying in the living room. At one glance, he could tell that the dress was all she was wearing.The young and vigorous Rodney, who had just done it, instantly felt blood rushing to his head.He quickly looked away. Then, he took a jacket from the bedroom to cover Sarah’s body. When he carried her, he realized that she was trembling all over, and she subconsciously snuggled in his arms. Rodney’s body stiffened momentarily, and he promptly started a conversation. “Why are you dressed like this?”“This is how I dress whenever I’m alone. There’s heating here, so I’m not afraid of the cold. But after the electricity went off, the heating stopped working.” Sarah said, shivering, “I think I broke my ankle. It hurts when I move.” Rodney lowered his head and saw her swollen ankle.He immediately called a personal doctor over.Before the doctor
In the villa.Looking at the phone that had been ringing for a long time, Freya slowly put it down.She could hear Dani crying downstairs.A moment later, she rose to her feet and headed downstairs. Then, she took Dani over from Aunty Cally. “Let me carry her.”As soon as Freya carried her, she stopped crying. All she did was pout and snort, looking aggrieved.Dani was clear about who she was closest to despite being at a young age.Aunty Cally sighed helplessly. “Dani is usually quite easy to deal with. She might be feeling a little bloated tonight. Sometimes it’s normal for kids to experience it, but she’ll be fine once it passes. Sadly, she doesn’t want me to carry her when she’s uncomfortable. How nice it would be if Young Master Snow was around.” “It’s alright, Aunty Cally. You can go to sleep. If I can’t handle it in the middle of the night, I’ll ask for your help.” Freya could not bear to see Aunty Cally go through such a hard time at the age of 50.“Okay. What about Yo
“So where is he now? Is he still sleeping? I called him, but he didn’t pick up.”“Young Master Snow is in the hotel.” Hans laughed as he said, “Do you want me to pass him the breakfast? I’ll let him know about it right away.”Freya frowned and thought for a moment. “If he drank a lot last night, I reckon he’s not feeling too well now. Why don’t you tell me the name of the hotel? I’ll go over and visit him.” “Well… I’m not sure which hotel he’s staying in. Last night, he had me leave first. He didn’t seem drunk, so I left early since I had to come to work early this morning.”Hans did not dare tell Freya that Rodney had spent all of last night by Sarah’s side. If she found out about it, their marriage would most likely break down.However, he did not expect Rodney not to return home last night.Rodney was probably muddle-headed.Hans could not help but sympathize with Freya before him.“Alright, then. I’ll pass you his breakfast. I need to go to work now.”Freya then handed th
“No need. Mom has asked us to attend a mini fashion event. We’ll meet Courtney there and ask her to design our wedding outfits for us,” Freya said indifferently.“Okay, okay. I promise to pick you up on time. By the way, was Dani fine last night?”“She wasn’t well, so she threw tantrums the whole night.” As soon as Freya finished speaking, she hung up in annoyance.Rodney scratched his head in distress. …At night, he went to the fashion event with Freya.However, Freya pulled a long face throughout the event.Rodney was apologizing to her non-stop, “I’m sorry, Freya. I swear I won’t set my phone to silent mode anymore. I had no choice but to do that last night. Mr. Micheal knows core technologies very well, and I was too engrossed in the conversation. I’ll take care of Dani tonight so you can rest early, alright? Or… When I go home tonight, I’ll kneel down until you forgive me.” “Enough.”Ruffled by his nagging, Freya halted her steps. “Do you know why I’m so mad? It’s beca
Freya turned around, only to see Ryan dressed in a dark suit. A ray of gorgeous light shone on his elegant, handsome face. He might look gentle with a smile, but she knew that in reality, he was restrained and stoic, just like his father, Prime Minister Snow.“I received an invitation card, so here I am.” Ryan shrugged. “Where’s Rodney? You look unhappy without his company.”“He’s over there.” Freya then went quiet for a moment. “Ryan, have you heard of Mr. Micheal?”Ryan shook his head. “What gives?”“Can you help me nose around on him?” After some thought, Freya said, “Last night, Rodney didn’t come at all. He said that Mr. Micheal is an expert in lithium batteries, and I’m not quite sure about it.”“You think he’s lying to you?” Ryan frowned. “I don’t think he would.”“What do you mean?”“Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn’t sink so low as to lie to you even though he speaks harshly and has a low EQ.” Ryan said, “He’s a direct person, but he doesn’t really know how t
It was already past 10:00 p.m. when they returned from the banquet. Although Freya did not have a good rest last night, she was not as tired as she had taken a nap in the evening.On the other hand, Rodney could not fight off his sleepiness when he was putting Dani to sleep. He had not rested well as he had spent the night in Sarah’s apartment last night. He was exhausted.When Freya turned around, Rodney had already fallen asleep on his side. One of his hands was resting on Dani, which was the same position when he was putting her to sleep. Dani had not fallen asleep at all. She was still squirming on the bed.Freya could confirm that Rodney had not rested well last night. She recalled him saying that he was working.Freya carried Dani out to not disturb Rodney’s sleep.When Rodney woke up the next day, he saw that Freya was still sleeping. He suddenly remembered that he had fallen asleep first. He was embarrassed.He quickly crept downstairs and saw Aunty Cally making b
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
