The nurse was startled. She quickly pressed the bell to call for an emergency.When Rodney outside heard a few doctors running toward Sarah’s ward, a bad feeling arose in his heart. He went back to the ward in a hurry. Sarah was lying on the bed, and the doctors were checking her heartbeat. Her face was as pale as a sheet, and there was a puddle of blood on the floor.“What happened?”Rodney felt like his head was about to explode. He was already in a bad mood, and the deterioration of Sarah’s condition made him even more flustered.Sarah was so furious that she could not say a word. She simply glared at Rodney. The nurse at the side said as she trembled. “She was so angry from finding out about the changes in Snow Corporation’s share allocation that she coughed up blood…”When the nurse saw that Sarah could not speak because she was too furious, she only told half the truth.Rodney was extremely infuriated. He glared at the nurse and shouted angrily, “Were you the one who
Chester knew everything. Yet, he still walked toward the bed and gazed at Sarah. He said, “Sarah, be more open-minded. Although Rodney has lost Snow Corporation, it also means that the Snow family won’t bother you and Rodney anymore. Both of you have gone through many hardships to finally be together. Rodney and your wishes have already been fulfilled in one way or another. From now on, stay by each other’s side. Even if your legs are crippled, Rodney is a person who takes relationships seriously. He’ll surely take good care of you.”Sarah did not feel consoled hearing Chester’s words. Instead, she almost coughed out mouthfuls of blood again. To hell with finally being together. She did not like Rodney at all!All she wanted was to be the matriarch of the Snow family. That way, all noble and influential people would fight to curry her favor.However, everything was gone.Rodney held Sarah’s hand and consoled her, “Sarah, you don’t have to think that you’ve dragged me down. I’ve n
“What ideas do you have in mind?” Freya became excited. Catherine said playfully, “Actually, Sarah doesn’t like Rodney. She’s simply using him. I think she likes Shaun more, but she just can’t get hold of Shaun at all.”“You’re right. I believe that if only Chester had shown a bit of interest in Sarah back then, she wouldn’t have chosen Rodney. Although Chester is sc*mmy, he is capable.”“Mm,” Catherine replied and smiled vaguely. “Say, once Rodney and Sarah get married — when they spend more time with each other, and Rodney’s career continues going downhill, do you think Sarah will want to have an affair when another man richer than Rodney appears?”“Ahem.”Freya, who was eating oranges, was so shocked that she choked. “Do you want Rodney to be cheated on?”“He has done the same to you. Don’t you want him to experience the feeling of being cheated on as well?” Catherine asked playfully, “Or will you feel sorry for him…”“To hell with feeling sorry.”Freya blurted out some fou
Why did she not think of that?Freya could not wait to see Rodney’s face when he was cheated on. It would be one of the most exhilarating moments in her life.…5:30 p.m.Just as the housekeeper had finished preparing the meal, Ryan entered the house with some stuff in his hands. Freya glanced at the shopping bags in his hands and asked, “Why are you back? Do you get off work this early?”“Mm. I had some business outside, so I didn’t head back to the office.”Ryan walked to the rocking crib, took a toy phone from a shopping bag, and placed it in Dani’s small hands.When Dani heard the music, she laughed happily.“You bought toys for Dani again.” Freya saw it too. She thought Ryan was spoiling Dani too much.“I bought it when I saw it while shopping for groceries at the supermarket.” Ryan’s brows arched into curves as he smiled. “There were a lot of children’s toys at the supermarket. It’s too bad that Dani is still too young. When she grows up, I can buy her Barbie dolls a
After being stunned for a while, Freya gave Ryan a thumbs up in admiration. “As expected of Young Master Ryan. Even the hotpot you eat is of high class and quality. I’m so lucky to be able to have this.”“And so?”Ryan looked up with his dark eyes that were filled with amusement. “You said you were going to treat me to a meal when I helped you last time. Yet, I’m the one treating you now. Say, how many meals do you owe me?”“You can take note of it. It’s hard for me to move around now, but I’ll return those favors slowly after I recover.”Freya had felt pressured in the past. However, perhaps it was because she owed Ryan too many favors that she eventually did not feel pressured about it anymore.Then, she eagerly took her spoon and continued scooping more vegetables from the hotpot.Ryan blocked her spoon. “What?” Freya glared at him with her big eyes, which looked as if they were whining. “Stopping someone from getting good food is more despicable than standing in the way of
“Yes, I am flat-chested from the start.” Ryan raised his eyebrows. “You’re my family now, so you’re flat-chested too, right? Don’t put yourself down as well.”Freya could not tolerate it anymore and cursed. “You’re ignorant. I’m a C cup.”“Is a C cup big? I wouldn’t know anyway,” Ryan replied as he cleared the rubbish on the table.“Don’t pretend to be innocent,” Freya said instinctively. “Men nowadays mature at a young age. You can’t possibly still be a…”Ryan raised his head. His bright eyes stared into hers. “Is that weird?”“...”F*ck. Did she just find out some breaking news?However, thinking about it, it seemed normal. Rodney was still a virgin even though he was 30 years old.Freya used to think it was rare, and she even felt touched. In the end, it was all b*llshit. A man turning bad had nothing to do with the age he lost his virginity.“Uh… It’s not weird.” Freya felt like her brain could not keep up with her mouth, and some awkward words blurted out of her. “Anywa
“Alright. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have joked about you having big boobs and no brain.”Ryan crouched beside Freya. He spoke to her while staring at Dani, “Although you’re usually clumsy, you’re quite smart when it comes to your job. Look, you’ve developed so many bottles and tubs of things. I wouldn’t be able to do it if it were me. I admired researchers like you the most when I was young.”Freya’s lips curved into a smile at the praise. However, she quickly suppressed it. “I’m not a researcher at all. I just deal with cosmetics.”“What’s wrong with cosmetics? It can make everyone prettier. Wow, if it weren’t for remarkable researchers like you, there'd be many weather-beaten faces in this world. It’s you people who make the world more beautiful.”Ryan suddenly turned his head around, and his dark eyes blinked playfully at Freya.When Freya met his eyes, she unconsciously raised her hand and slapped his shoulder lightly. “You’re exaggerating.”“I’m not exaggerating. I respect ea
“Oh, you…” Wendy once again lamented losing such a good daughter-in-law. “But my back has been doing well lately. I just have a headache from being pissed off and annoyed by a lot of things.”Freya thought that if she were to have a son like Rodney, she would not only have a headache. She would even have high blood pressure and brain hemorrhage.…Saturday was Ryan’s day off. At 9:00 a.m., the driver drove the business car to a children’s photo studio in Canberra.Freya did not ask which photo studio it was as she believed in Ryan’s competence.She only found out that the photo studio was situated among the villas near the esplanade when they arrived. The interior design was exquisite, and there were many styles for children’s photoshoots. There were also all types of designs of children’s clothing, which were all brand new. “This place must be expensive. How much is it? I’ll transfer the money to you…”Freya spoke to Ryan while the employee had gone to pour them a cup of tea
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
