Feeling speechless, Ryan reminded Heidi, “Mom, I just turned 26 this year, which is far from 30.”“After you’ve turned 26, you’ll be 27. How far is that?” Heidi said in a huff, “It’s about time you got a girlfriend. You can get married after a few years of being in a relationship.”“Mom, I have no thought of getting married.” Ryan took a mouthful of milk and then continued, “I have no feelings for the women I’ve met.”Upon hearing that, everyone at the dining table went quiet and turned their eyes to him.Freya was no exception. She even looked at him strangely.Nathan put down the spoon and said solemnly, “Perhaps you have no feelings for them because you haven’t found the right person yet.”“That’s right,” Heidi quickly added. “You best not bring a boyfriend home. I may be open-minded, but not to that extent. I’m still looking forward to having a grandson.”“Mom, same-sex couples can get married in this day and age,” Ryan refuted. “That’s their business.” Heidi pulled a long
Hence, Freya replied to Sarah’s message, telling her to meet at a high-end coffee house.After that, she called Catherine. “I’ve decided to slap Sarah twice when I meet her. Since she has sprained her ankle, I’ll break her leg and remove all her clothes. Hmph! I’m going to show everyone that shameless woman’s—”“Alright. You can do whatever you want since you don’t care whether Rodney will misunderstand you or not. Sadly, the preschool is having some parent-child activities, so I won’t be able to accompany you.” Catherine reminded her, “Be careful.”“Of course, I will. I even plan to record our conversation. When Rodney and I get a divorce, I’ll expose her true colors to him.”Catherine thought about it for a moment before she said, “Sarah would probably have thought about this trick. She’s very cautious now, and she might not fall for it.”Freya grasped her point. However, she still wanted to give it a shot.…After making a trip to the office, Freya headed to the coffee house
Freya sat directly opposite Sarah. After driving a considerable distance, she happened to feel thirsty, so she poured herself a cup of coffee. Just as Sarah’s red lips parted slightly, Freya interrupted her. “If you’re planning to fake sympathy and tell me that you’re not romantically involved with Rodney, you’d better keep your mouth shut. I’m not in the mood to watch you act.”Sarah darted a look at Freya for a while before she suddenly smirked and laughed. Then, she approached Freya and muttered under her breath, “Sure. But do you want to know how Jennifer died?”Jennifer was Charity’s mother.Although Freya had only met Jennifer a few times, she remembered the latter weeping bitterly after Charity got into jail. Later, Jennifer was somehow found dead in the bathroom.“Were you the one who killed her?” Freya tightened the grip on her cup.“Who did I kill? What are you saying?” Sarah revealed an innocent look and said in her normal voice, “I came here to tell you that Rodney t
Over the years, Freya had been wondering if Sarah had anything to do with those things Thomas did to her all those years ago. She had always suspected Sarah’s involvement, but she did not have any evidence.She even felt that Sarah had a hand in the incident that happened during the banquet of Osher’s new product launch, where Thomas secretly joined the event and drugged her.Now that Sarah had personally confessed to it, Freya could finally confirm that her wonderful youth was destroyed by the Neeson siblings, Sarah and Thomas. “Are you telling me these things to trigger me? I must tell you that you’ve succeeded.”Freya immediately rose to her feet. Then, she took the boiling hot coffee from the table and splashed it onto Sarah’s face.Sarah promptly covered her face with her hands. Although the coffee did not hit her face, she cried out due to the burning pain in her handsFreya could not care less. She stood up, dragged Sarah out of the chair by her hair, and slapped her in
The bodyguard did not expect Freya to be so insane, and he swiftly kicked the vase away. Upon hitting the wall, the vase shattered into pieces.At this moment, Rodney rushed in with his people. The minute Sarah saw him, she fell to the floor tearfully.“Sarah.” Rodney subconsciously stretched out his hands to hold her right away. When he saw her burned, skinned hands and swollen face, he turned his gaze to Freya in disbelief.Freya stared hard at Sarah, trembling. She knew that with the presence of these people, she could not teach Sarah a lesson today.However, she was not satisfied. She wished she could press Sarah on the floor now and punch her.She wanted to stuff Sarah into the drain and make her suffer a living hell.Nevertheless, Rodney found Freya’s expression terrifying. Her eyes were filled with hatred, and her pretty face was contorted in anger.It baffled him as to how she had turned into such a person.Judging from Freya’s unscathed appearance as well as the cara
A hint of sympathy flashed across Rodney’s eyes, and he promptly picked Sarah up. “Let me take you to the hospital.After they arrived at the hospital, the doctor examined Sarah’s condition and said, “Your injuries are quite severe. What happened? Judging from your face… were you beaten up? Do I need to call the police?”Rodney’s throat bobbed, and he heard Sarah reply, “No need. I accidentally injured myself.” The doctor had seen all kinds of patients. Nevertheless, he did not ask the patient further since she did not plan to look into the issue. He only added, “Anyway, your condition has been jotted in the medical record. If you want to look into it, you can always ask me to issue a report to you.”“Thank you, doctor.” Sarah expressed her gratitude in a low voice and then looked down without saying anything else.Those words upset Rodney.He even felt that he had wronged Sarah again. If it were not for him, she could have held Freya accountable.At the same time, he could not
After leaving the ward, Rodney deliberately went to meet the doctor. “Doctor, will it leave scars on her hands?”“Of course, it will,” the doctor said. “The scars will be quite obvious in the first two years. Having said that, there’s a kind of ointment available overseas that she can apply on her hands. As time passes, the scars will become less obvious, but it’ll take a few years. Be careful for the next few days, in case she gets a wound infection and develops a fever.” Rodney nodded. “Please give her the best treatment possible.”Once he came out, he tried calling Freya a few times. The calls got through, but she refused to pick them up.He started to get infuriated....Freya tossed her phone to one side.After that, she poured a glass of beer and drank it alone by the bar counter.Sarah’s words echoed in her mind, and it filled Freya with hatred. She hated Sarah, as well as Rodney. That woman had done so many bad deeds, yet Rodney continued to defend her.Upon recalli
Freya was startled. “What’s wrong… with you? Quick! Get some tissues.”She was a little drunk just now, but at this moment, she was wide awake. She promptly asked the server to get some tissues.“I’m fine. I’m just angry after hearing what you said.”Eliza responded calmly and then removed the shards of glass from her palm one by one.Freya gasped at the situation.If she were in Eliza’s shoes, she would have wept bitterly from the pain. That was very brilliant of Eliza.“Um… Let’s go to the hospital.” Freya did not dare to stay at the bar. “You’re an actress. It’ll be troublesome if your palm is scarred.” “It’s just a minor injury.” After clearing the glass, Eliza used a piece of tissue to wrap around her palm nonchalantly. Then, she asked the server to get her a new beer glass. “Come. I’ll drink with you.”Freya really admired her. After some time, she muttered, “There’s nothing much to talk about really. Anyhow, I’m quite useless. I planned to kill Sarah, that b*tch today.
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
