“Don’t say that. He’s now your boyfriend. It’s his duty to protect you.”Catherine said in praise, “I was a bit worried when you got together with Ryan at first, but now I’m relieved. Even if the Snows find out about your relationship with him in the future, I believe a smart person like him can protect you well.”“I think so too.”Freya nodded in a daze.Originally, she did not quite believe the promise Ryan made to her.Regarding her relationship with Ryan, she was just planning to play it by ear.At this point, she was gradually starting to believe in him.Even if their relationship was made public in the future, she would not be too scared.It was because Ryan would be there to protect her even if the sky fell.It was Freya’s first time experiencing the feeling of being protected by a man.…Canberra, Australia.After Ryan ended his call with Freya, he was not in a hurry to go to the Snow family’s old residence.Instead, he arranged for Aunty Loretta to take Dani and s
“Mm.” Ryan nodded. “When Freya learned that you guys took Dani away, she didn’t urge me to take any action either. Instead, she was concerned that you guys wouldn’t be able to manage Dani, so she promptly asked Aunty Loretta to come over.”After Aunty Loretta, who was standing at the side, heard it, a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes. She then chuckled. She could not help but admire Ryan.Wendy and Jason looked a lot better now. They were not as unhappy as before.“Freya should’ve told us this earlier,” Wendy said, “Since she’s not around, she should let us look after Dani.”“She took into consideration the issue that once Rodney finds out about it, he’ll fight for Dani’s custody on the grounds that she’s away on a business trip.” Ryan sighed. “If you don’t believe it, let’s wait and see. When Rodney comes back, he’ll surely mention wanting to file a lawsuit.”Wendy and Jason exchanged looks.At that moment, many thoughts flashed across their minds.They hesitated.It
Ryan let out a long sigh. “Aunty Wendy, can you see why even my parents and I side with Freya now? Rodney can’t have the child’s custody. Both of you might be able to take care of Dani now, but you guys are already old, after all. If anything happens in the future, Dani will still end up with Rodney. Given that Sarah is so brutal toward animals, can you guarantee that she won’t treat the child the same way?”Wendy nodded as she became enlightened.“You’re right,” Jason added. “Although I’m clueless about psychology, I heard this behavior certainly means that she’s mentally ill. Being abusive allows her to satisfy her inner wishes. Over time, not only will she think of abusing cats and dogs but also the marginalized group.” “Alright, Ryan. Your uncle and aunt aren’t unreasonable people.” Old Master Snow returned the phone to him. “I’ll definitely forbid Rodney from fighting for Dani’s custody. Dani will continue staying with Freya. Everything will remain the same as before.”“I tha
Ryan: [Good.]Freya: [Love you. Muacks.]Ryan: [You owe me a kiss. Kiss me when you’re back.]Freya: [Alright.]When she returned, she would give this man a good kiss even without him reminding her.She looked at the calendar, only to realize that only 20 days had passed. It hit her that she wanted to return home so badly not just because of Dani but also Ryan.She really missed him.…The next day.As soon as Rodney alighted from the plane, he headed to the old residence.The minute he saw Wendy carrying Dani and playing with her in the courtyard, his heart nearly melted.“Mom, Dani…”He rested his gaze on his daughter, who had gotten slightly chubbier. Her eyes resembled Freya’s, whereas her mouth and nose were similar to his. Dani had inherited the best traits of both her parents.“Dani, did you miss Daddy?”Rodney extended his hand to carry Dani, but Wendy suddenly took two steps backward. She turned around and handed Dani to Aunty Loretta, who was beside her.Aunty
Rodney tapped on the phone in confusion. When he watched the video, he froze. Even his hands were trembling. He could not believe that the woman in the video was Sarah.“How… is this possible? Dad, is this edited?” he asked in a daze.“Edited?”Jason wished he could slap Rodney again. “Are you blind? I'm not even blind yet. I finally understand Freya’s concerns. The woman whom you care about is a psychopath. Please take her for therapy and stop her from harming those cats and dogs. If this issue gets out of hand, it’ll ruin the Snow family’s reputation. Even if you don’t care about your dignity, we do. Forget about your terrible company, let alone selling cosmetic products.”Rodney’s face turned ghastly. Looking at Sarah’s ferocious expression in the video, he found it strange.It was so strange that he almost could not focus on the video.Sarah was his first love.He would forever remember her smile when he first met her. It resembled a clean, white camellia that was pure and w
Rodney pursed his pale, thin lips tightly and admitted that he was despicable.However, he could not lie to himself. He sorely missed those times when he was in love with Freya.“My god.” Wendy took a deep breath. “Why did I give birth to such a shameless and selfish son? Do you think we don’t care about our dignity because we’re old?”Shocked, Rodney said awkwardly, “Mom, aren’t you very fond of Freya as your daughter-in-law? I–”“I am, but why don’t you reflect on the things you’ve done?”Jason could not tolerate Rodney anymore and rebuked, “You had an affair and even a child out there. Then, you married another woman in less than a week after you divorced Freya. What’s worse, your marriage with Sarah was so grand. You picked her up from a plane and gave her a wedding ring worth over ten million dollars. You did everything without considering your ex-wife’s feelings, yet you expect us to approve of you getting a divorce and remarrying your ex-wife? What do you take marriage for?
Sarah broke down in tears. “Ever since Eliza kidnapped me, I have had nightmares every night, and I feel very crabby and stressed. I need to vent, but I can’t let you know because I’m afraid that you’ll be annoyed at me. I can’t help it sometimes, and that is why—”“But you’re a psychologist. Why don’t you take medicine for it?” Rodney roared, “You may be harming animals now, but does that mean you’ll be killing people in the future? You’re my wife. If these videos spread, they’ll have a major impact on my company. I might even go bankrupt.”“That’s… impossible, right?” Sarah was stunned.“How is it impossible? Ever since I got a divorce, my reputation has been terrible. A lot of women are boycotting Osher. If the public knows that my wife abuses animals, it’ll cause an uproar, and the Snow family will be dragged into the mess.”The more Rodney said, the angrier he grew. He was overwhelmed with grief, rage, and exhaustion. At that point, he could no longer contain those feelings. “
...Country F.After getting off work and returning to her apartment, the first thing Freya did was throw herself on the bed and talk to Ryan on the phone.“What? Rodney told his parents that he wants to divorce Sarah and remarry me?”Upon hearing that news, Freya was shocked to the core. No, she was not only shocked. She was disgusted as well.“Yeah. Rodney went to the manor today, and Aunty Loretta overheard him and his parents’ conversation in the garden.”Ryan told Freya without hiding anything, “Rodney wants Uncle Jason to delete the video of Sarah abusing animals. Without the evidence, he’ll be able to appeal to the court. Once he obtains the custody rights to his daughter, you might remarry him because you can’t let Dani go.”“That’s so shameless.”Freya scolded angrily, “He really resets the limit of how shameless he can get every single time. He was the one who cheated on me and wanted to marry Sarah. Now he’s thinking of getting divorced and remarrying me? He must be
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
