Rodney wept in pain and regret.He wanted to know why he had become like that too.However, his world had plunged into darkness.The doctor removed the needle and said, “Young Master, I’ll give him another injection after two hours, and everything will be alright.”“When will he wake up?” Ryan asked with mixed feelings.“One day later.”“Untie him and send him back to the old residence after the injection.”Ryan gave a weak and light sigh before patting Jessica’s back. “Perhaps this is the best outcome for him.”“I understand.”Jessica took a long and deep breath. Then, she straightened her back and shut her eyes.It might be a relief to forget certain things.However, it would break her heart to see him become a fool.“I’ve told the doctor to reduce the dosage.” Ryan suddenly said, “His intelligence will be similar to a ten-year-old child’s.”Jessica turned around and looked at him with surprise. Only after a while did she say, “Thank you.”Having a ten-year-old child’s
“Fine. Stop complaining. Your dad is in his 50s and works 18 hours a day, yet he has never mentioned being tired.”Nathan could not bring himself to see his son faking pity.Ryan could really do anything for love.How did Nathan not realize before that his son was an affectionate person? “Fine. If you want to move out, go ahead.”Heidi did not force Ryan. She had lived in The Lodge for a long time. Apart from the fact that the place was spacious and safe, she disliked everything else. For one, her freedom was restricted, and it was inconvenient for her relatives to come because they had to go through tight security checks every time they came. If she were not the first lady, she would have thought about moving out. “I only have one request,” Heidi said solemnly. “You can’t get Freya pregnant before both of you get married. Since both of you have decided to be in a relationship, you should do it with the premise that you’ll get married. When both of you get into a conflict, you
“Alright. I’ll ask Ryan and see when he’s available to treat everyone to a meal.”Freya graciously agreed.Previously, a few of her colleagues had suggested having her boyfriend treat them to a meal, but Freya’s relationship was not yet made public. Now that it was public, she surely had to bring her boyfriend along.Besides that, Freya was missing Ryan a little.Amid her thoughts, Ryan’s call came through.“Darling, I miss you.”His soft voice made Freya’s heart melt.“What a coincidence! I miss you too. I was just about to call you.” Freya walked over to the balcony with her phone. “This is called telepathy,” Ryan said with a grin. “Since I’ve moved out, do you want to come over to my place for dinner after work? I can cook for you.”“It happens that my colleagues have been asking me to have you treat them to a meal.” Freya’s mouth twitched. “I’ve been to my colleagues’ places for meals a few times. It’s time you treated them to a meal.”“In that case… I have to do it. I’l
“Freya, is this… your boyfriend?” Everyone was stunned.“Yeah. Can’t all of you recognize me?” Ryan wore a gentle and friendly smile.All the women on the spot blushed, and their hearts were pounding. Even the older women were no exception.After all, everyone was aware that the man standing before them was the prime minister’s son. They had come across those in wealthy families who were all condescending people.Even Shaun, who always came to pick Catherine up, looked serious. He would only soften when he saw her.However, Ryan was amicable and did not put on airs despite having an unusual identity. Above all, he was… really handsome.“Ahem. Young Master Snow, you always wore a mask every time you came. We’ve never taken a good look at your face before.”Mrs. Grace spoke frankly. Most importantly, Ryan always dressed maturely, so those women thought Freya’s mysterious boyfriend was in his 30s.“I’ve wanted to take off my mask for a long time, but someone didn’t allow me to do
“It’s still early. Both of you can go on a date,” Professor Xavier said with a grin. “Freya, your boyfriend is wonderful. Please bring him over to my place for a meal next time.”Freya secretly sighed. Aside from work, not many could mingle with 50-year-old Professor Xavier, but Ryan was an exception.After seeing everyone off, Freya harrumphed and jogged the man beside her with her elbow. “Not bad. All the women are fond of you, including my 20-year-old assistant and a 50-year-old woman. Ryan, you have quite the skill.”“It’s because they’re your colleagues.” Ryan wrapped his hand around her waist intimately. “I’m usually quite aloof in social functions, but I acted that way today for your sake. Anyway, your colleagues are pretty nice. Those who deal with research aren’t so scheming.”“That’s because I didn’t invite those ones for dinner.” Freya leaned in his arms and snorted. “You’ve saved quite a few young women’s numbers today, but you’re not allowed to chat with them.”Ryan t
“...”The woman pushed Ryan away with her hand. Freya gazed at the handsome face before her, speechless. She did not understand how a person could become so brazen. “Don’t you feel embarrassed?” “My pride is nothing compared to my girlfriend. I’ll tell Mrs. Lynch that I’ll sleep in the guest room. When midnight comes, I’ll secretly sneak into your room…”Freya’s scalp tingled. Experiencing it once was memorable enough, and she did not want to go through it again. “Alright, stop talking. I’ll be with you tonight. Happy?”“That’s a good girl.”Ryan kissed Freya’s forehead. After having his way, he had a smile on his dashing face. Freya cocked her head to one side as she realized Ryan’s demeanor seemed more relaxed than before. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Ryan’s gaze landed on her slightly swollen, red lips. He started getting eager again.“You cut your hair.” Freya touched his neat, short hair nonchalantly and said with a smile, “You even dress quite young now, like
“She’s so pretty. It’s a shame that she’s not a celebrity. However, she looks quite familiar. Could she be a celebrity?” The man suddenly started gossiping. “Oh, there’s no way.” Ryan pretended to be surprised. “Celebrities will surely wear masks.”“You have a point there.”Freya was completely unaware that many young men were eyeing her while she sat in the beverage store. She was sitting on the chair and scrolling through her phone leisurely. At that moment, she truly realized the advantage of having a boyfriend.She would have had to queue up foolishly if she wanted to have ice cream.“Hey girl, can I have your number?” Suddenly, a tall guy stood in front of her, looking at her shyly. Freya was taken aback. She had not been hit on for a long time.“Excuse me. She already has a boyfriend.” Ryan gave a gentle reminder as he came over with an ice cream in hand. The man’s handsome face blushed. “I’m sorry. I thought…”After he spoke, he bowed and walked away awkwardly.
Ryan gazed at Freya’s smiling expression. He felt as though the sweetness of the ice cream in his mouth had traveled to the bottom of his heart.The long-overdue love was wonderful. In the past, he had worked hard and made an effort to mature himself in order to fulfill his parents’ wishes. At that moment, he felt as if he had found a clear goal to work hard for. Next, Freya and Ryan went inside the mall to buy shoes.Freya needed a pair of running shoes. After getting shoes, she needed to get a training outfit too.Exercising was essential for women to maintain a youthful, pretty figure. Although her enthusiasm was mostly short-lived, she still had to have complete equipment. After picking things out for herself, she picked a matching pair for Ryan.There were quite a few bags in Ryan’s hands when they exited the store. He suggested, “You’ll be sleeping at my place tonight. Do you want to buy a set of pajamas and a change of clothes for tomorrow morning?”Freya agreed. La
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
