Ryan reached out to Freya’s hair and caressed it.It was quite an intimate act.Freya could not help but recall Rodney’s warning. At the thought of it now, she found it ridiculous.Since Rodney could spend the entire night with Sarah, why could she not let her so-called brother, Ryan, caress her hair?In the past, she never realized Rodney’s double standards and selfishness.“It’s because Rodney is handling the Snow family’s core business,” Ryan said with a grim expression.Freya got the message. “Are you referring to the alternative energy project?”“Mm.” Ryan nodded. “With the fast-growing technologies over the past few years, there’s fierce competition among the businesses in the world. This project is the most crucial core business in Australia over the decade. Since the project started, my dad and uncle have been strongly supporting it. Although Rodney made a mistake in the issue with Sarah last time, he’s a business prodigy. With Rodney and Carson’s cooperation, this proje
After all, no matter if it was Sarah’s identity or status, it was all inferior to her.However, Ryan did not point out the truth. Freya would naturally come to understand it when she interacted with Rodney. …After that, Freya went to the solicitors’ office before going back to the villa. The moment she arrived, she saw Rodney’s car parked in the courtyard.As she got down the car, Rodney was already hurriedly walking out of the house. His pretty face looked anxious. “Where did you go? I’ve been calling you for the entire evening, but you didn’t pick up.”Freya did not say anything. She was afraid that her blood would boil once she talked to him and that she would chop him up with a knife.She was never that easily angered back then with Patrick.Perhaps it was because she and Patrick were not married nor had a child together. Most importantly, that woman was not Sarah.In Freya’s entire life, she despised the siblings, Sarah and Thomas, the most. With Rebecca, she was only
“I owe Sarah the most in my entire life.“But don’t worry. I know you’re my wife and that you’re married to me. I have never thought of doing anything that’ll betray you.“Therefore, I’ve decided to send Sarah overseas after half a month. However, you can’t slander her anymore. She has sacrificed too much for me.”After Rodney spoke, Freya thought, ‘F*ck. Chester did guess everything correctly.’Sarah was the b*tch of all b*tches.How could Freya fight her?It was equivalent to attempting something impossible.Look how Rodney was defending Sarah, sympathizing with her, and feeling so guilty toward her now.As soon as men felt guilty toward a woman, it was inevitable that something would happen.“You believe in everything she says?” Freya asked softly.“I didn’t believe her at first, but I did an investigation afterward and met President Yard as well. President Yard said that Sarah looked for him to act out a scene with her back then.”Rodney pressed his lips together. “Besid
Freya was thankful that she had completely given up on Rodney.If not, she would die of a heart attack on the spot due to anger.Rodney thought Freya had figured things out since she suddenly fell silent.His expression softened. He held Freya’s hand lightly and coaxed her. “Wifey, after I send Sarah away, let’s live together happily.”Freya looked at Rodney’s hand.It would be outlandish for her to feel touched.In fact, she felt disgusted.It was because that hand of his had just hugged Sarah right in front of her that morning.That was the final chance between Rodney and her. However, Rodney was not concerned about it at all when he was with Sarah. In other words, he did not care about Freya’s feelings at that time.Freya withdrew her hand without a word and walked toward the villa.Dani was lying in the baby cot in the living room, smiling sweetly.Freya watched her in silence for some time. Her tears almost fell.Rodney walked up behind her and said, “Look at how car
“Can you do that?” Freya suddenly asked out of curiosity. She should not have probed Rodney again. However, she was just curious as to how important she was in his heart.“No.” Rodney refused without a moment of hesitation. “Sarah’s leg is injured. Shaun has backed out, but who knows what he’ll do to her if I don’t protect her? I owe her this, Freya. You can’t be so selfish. Take a look at your identity now and then at your bags, rings, and earrings. Any one of them is worth a few hundred thousand dollars. But what about Sarah? She’s living in a small house with only an area of tens of square meters. All of this here was paid for by her sacrifice.”Freya found it ridiculous. She removed her watch, earrings, and diamond ring. She even poured out everything in her bag. The things inside were hers, but the bag was a gift from Rodney.She used to feel so happy and loved when he gave her a present each day. “Rodney, I’m giving all of these back to you.”Freya threw everything that h
Ultimately, she did manage to do that. However, no one knew the hardships she went through behind the scenes.Was it easy to achieve the status of the world’s youngest chemist? Absolutely not.Rodney would never be able to understand what she went through.That was because he would only deny it nonchalantly, as he did now. “Thomas was the one who did that. It had nothing to do with Sarah. Besides, Thomas has already gotten his punishment. He has been castrated, and he has gone missing.”“I believe it had something to do with Sarah,” Freya said coldly.Rodney frowned. He thought she was being unreasonable. “Freya, you’re biased against Sarah. She’s actually a very pitiful woman.”Freya thought to herself, ‘Rodney’s words really are challenging my limits over and over again.’She used to be the closest person to him. However, Rodney did not feel any pity for what she had gone through. Instead, he considered Sarah to be pitiful.Fine, then. Her life was such a failure.“I don’t
“If you don’t want to get a divorce, then we have no choice but to go through the legal procedures,” Freya said coldly. “By then, don’t blame me for sullying your reputation. After all, let’s see who would be disgraced if word got out that someone was sneaking around with his first love when he’s already married.”After that, Freya picked Dani up and went upstairs. She did not even want to have dinner, lest she lose her appetite just by looking at Rodney. When she got upstairs, she threw all of Rodney’s clothes and daily necessities out. Looking at his stuff lying in a mess on the corridor, Rodney was so furious that his head hurt.However, before he could pack up the mess, he received a call from the Snow family’s manor. “Get back here,” Old Master Snow said coldly.Rodney’s heart skipped a beat. From Freya’s tone just now, he could tell that she had not informed the people at the manor yet. This meant that Shaun had told them.On the way to the manor, he called Shaun, feeli
“Something flashed through my mind just now,” Shaun said in a low voice. “I think I’m really about to recover my memories.”Catherine got nervous when she heard it. She had almost given up on Shaun recovering his memories. She did not even know how he would be after he regained his memories. “Even if you recover your memories, you can’t let Sarah off the hook. More importantly, you can’t go soft-hearted on her.”“Don’t worry. I won’t repeat the same mistake.” Shaun’s gaze was icy. “No matter what, my relationship with Rodney can never go back to what it used to be after this time. He’s not a despicable, two-faced person, and he’s not evil either. But when he gets hot-headed to defend Sarah, he will never think about the hurt other people have gone through before, and that’s disappointing.”Catherine was taken aback. After a long time, she said, “Maybe your thoughts are the same as Freya’s now. However, Freya is more pitiful. She’s Rodney’s wife, and she has given birth to his child,
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
