“It’s not because you dislike it. You just dislike me touching you.” Chester’s hand that was moving on Eliza’s waist slowly turned cold, and his mouth was close to her lips. Though gentle, his comment was snarky. “Haven’t you learned your lesson through the incident this afternoon?”Eliza’s body stiffened, and she bit her lip. It felt as though she had been struggling internally for a century. Her body relaxed, and her tone softened a lot. “No. I sweated a lot when I acted today. Also, I had a hotpot, so my body is sticky and uncomfortable. Can you let me take a bath first? I won’t run away anyway. Why are you in such a hurry?”It was rare for her to explain herself. In the past, she would be visibly indifferent and resistant.Chester noticed the change in her. Unusually curious, he stood straight and observed her with a dark gaze. “Really?”“Yes.” Eliza nodded. However, she looked down, revealing a large part of the back of her fair neck.“Go ahead.”Chester stared at her for a
Fine. If Chester had not mentioned it, it would have slipped Eliza’s mind.Nevertheless, she was not the real Eliza. How would she know?“Monte thought that I was like a dead fish as well, so he soon abandoned me.”She murmured after she found an excuse.Chester curled his lips, but his eyes were somehow icy.Although he was not the sort who demanded a woman’s virginity, he felt upset at the thought of Monte having touched the parts of Eliza he had touched.However, Chester had long known about her past.“This is natural. Not all the men will accept a dead fish like you like I do.” Chester’s voice was gentle. “Having said that, I’ve trained you quite well.”“...That’s not it,” Eliza replied in a deep voice. After all, she was an actor. She was great at pretending to seem unhappy, shy, and embarrassed.“Tsk. How dare you continue to deny it?” Chester bent over to kiss her cheek. “I wonder who was pestering me until I had to change the bedsheet.”“Chester…” Eliza gnashed her te
Eliza fixed her eyes on Chester’s scummy look.Deep down, she could not help but sigh. If he were openly scummy in front of her in the past, she would never have fallen for him.“Fine.” Eliza bit her lip. “Now that I’m in a relationship with you, you can’t sleep with other women.”“I don’t sleep with other women anyway.” Chester’s lips twitched. “I don’t have the energy to entertain several women.”“Besides that…”“You still have other requests, huh?” Chester began to grow impatient.Eliza mocked, “I mentioned many requests, yet you’ve only agreed with one. Oh, and you agreed only because you don’t have the energy to entertain several women. Young Master Jewell, you’re being unreasonable to me. You said I don’t deserve to be your girlfriend, and you’ve never given me the perks that all your previous lovers got. Am I an idiot who sleeps with you for nothing?”With her sharp tongue, Chester became more interested in her. “Go on.” “Pay me.” Eliza stretched out her hand. “I’ve kep
The next day, Eliza got up before the sky was fully bright and secretly headed to the bathroom to take a pill.After that, she returned to the bed. At dawn, she took a deep breath and plucked up her courage to feel her way toward Chester.Chester opened his eyes, only to see a woman with a pretty face and figure lying on his body.He was soon awake. He held her waist and giggled. “Well, you’re quite proactive today.”“Are you going to give me an apartment?” Eliza hooked her hands around his neck. At that moment, her originally cold face looked like she was fawning on him.“Do you want it so badly?” Chester caressed her slim wrist. “Haven't you earned quite a lot this year?”“Earning money is hard.” Eliza buried her face in his neck. “I’m not as fortunate as Catherine and Freya to be able to have Shaun and Ryan as their boyfriends. Also, they come from impressive family backgrounds.”“You admire them, huh?” Chester’s eyes darkened.“...”Eliza did not say a word, which meant th
“Where’s Cindy?” Chester turned around and asked his assistant.His assistant said with mixed feelings, “Chairman Jewell had someone contact Cindy, but she rejected him. She even went to the police station and refused to come out.”Chester snorted and finally saw the light. Given that Cindy was hiding in the police station, he would not be able to do anything to her even if he planned to send some people to catch her.Hunter said furiously, “Chester, I don’t care if you’re merciless in other times, but you can’t let your mom die.”Unbothered about him, Chester turned around and dialed Cindy’s number.“Chester…” Cindy’s soft voice rang.“You’re quite brilliant.” Chester said with a laugh, “Cindy, I know you’re hiding in the police station, but can you hide there forever?”Cindy gritted her teeth. “I have no choice. Now, I don’t have a job, and I get teased wherever I go. Chester, you can’t possibly ask me to sacrifice to save your mother.”“You haven’t learned your lesson, huh?
Chester most probably took after his grandfather. Anyway, he did not take after Hunter.…Eliza had a photoshoot for a brand this morning, and only in the afternoon was she free to join the crew.Before the shooting, a makeup artist was helping Eliza to apply makeup.At that moment, Heather personally took two cups of juice over. “Miss Robbins, I’m treating everyone to some juice. These are for you and your assistant.”“Thank you.”Although Eliza thought that juice could quench her thirst, she did not really like it. However, since Heather had treated her to the drink, she was too shy to turn it down despite her dislike for Heather.After giving Eliza the juice, Heather was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she sat on the couch at the back. “Miss Robbins, have you watched ‘The Treasured Voice‘?”“I don’t have the time to watch it, but I’ve heard of it,” Eliza answered nonchalantly.The makeup artist said, “‘The Treasured Voice’ is quite popular. I heard the cover songs have ma
“Where is Cindy going to further study?” Eliza was curious.The other end of the phone was silent for a while before Hailey replied, “Film studies at the University of Canberra.”Eliza sighed. “That’s a good place. Not only has it produced many award-winning actors and actresses, but the professors in the field are also well-regarded. It seems like the company is insistent on making her an award-winning actress.” “...”Hailey felt helpless.As Eliza’s manager, Hailey actually knew a lot more. It was impossible for an ordinary person to do film studies at the University of Canberra if they did not take an entrance exam. The university agreed on it only because Jewell Corporation was willing to invest in a library on the campus.Even Eliza was not qualified for that.She could not understand what was so great about Cindy. First, Cindy plagiarised someone’s work. Then, she was known to have a bad character, thus ruining her reputation. She even caused a huge loss to the company du
“In the office.”“Thank you.” Eliza turned around and left.The few employees walked out of the pantry in trepidation and asked their colleague outside, “How long has Eliza been here?”“I have no idea. When I came over, I saw Miss Robbins standing here,” the colleague responded.Those employees trembled in fear, wishing the ground would swallow them up.…In the president’s office.When Eliza entered, Cindy’s manager, Madison Clare, was also present. Madison grinned. “Please thank President Jewell on my behalf. It’s all thanks to him.”“Cough.” Shedrick quickly glared at Madison. “Hurry up and leave. I’m busy.”Madison turned around with a smile and greeted Eliza enthusiastically. “Eliza, what brings you here today? I’ve already had Cindy sign the contract for the period drama the company recommended to Hailey the other day. Thank you for giving Cindy such a great opportunity. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”“You’re welcome.”Eliza nodded and replied nonchalantly.“It’
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
