Charity was stunned. However, probably because she did not have a good sleep and had a headache, she rolled her eyes at Chester. “You’re lucky I didn’t make you pay for staying overnight, and now you ask me to prepare breakfast for you? Are you out of your mind?”Then, she stacked the pancakes and placed them on the plate before bringing the food to the dining room with some milk for breakfast.Chester gnashed his teeth. While watching her eat with relish, he was also a little hungry. “Where are your other pancakes? I’ll make one on my own. I’ll pay you, okay?” “It’s in the second row of the freezer.” Charity munched her food and thought for a moment before she responded.Chester promptly took out a pancake and made it. After that, he shamelessly took a bottle of milk from the fridge. “Oh, Lizzie, pass me your contact number, and I’ll transfer the money to you.”Charity took out her phone, tapped on it for a while, and showed him a QR code with 23 dollars. “Just scan it.”“...”
“Not only have I been hurt by Monte, but by you too. Anyway, I’ve had my fair share of bad guys. It’s nice to be alone.”Charity took a bite of the pancake and chewed on it.Chester looked at her dejectedly. “I can get you a psychologist.”“What’s the point of getting a psychologist?” Charity mocked, “To have me treated for your enjoyment?”“Well… We can all have fun, right?” Chester asked, “Don’t you want to have a child?”“Why must I have a child? Being pregnant for nine months isn’t easy, and the child can be annoying. Isn’t it better to live my life alone?” With that, Charity suddenly looked down. “What’s more, what’s good about having a child? I’m a public figure. Given that our affair has caused such an uproar, the child will become the topic of discussion. However, the child is innocent.”“If you give birth to my child, no one will discuss it.”“With you?” Charity nearly rolled her eyes. “Am I crazy?”“...”Chester returned to the topic again.He said, “I’ll get you a
“What could be more important than me?” Monte was pleased with Eliza’s reply, but still, he asked sourly. “I’m not telling you.” Charity responded with a quick retort. Upon detecting a hint of forced arrogance in her voice, Monte’s heart melted. He found Eliza too mild-mannered back then, so he was delighted that she now showed her arrogant side. Indeed, a short separation between a couple could refresh a relationship. “Fine, don’t tell me. However, don’t get too close with other men behind my back,” he warned sternly. “I think the man who sent you home that night may be interested in you.” “That was Ryan’s friend.” Charity got in her car while putting on an act for him over the phone. “He was the blind date that Ryan introduced to me a while ago.” Monte was taken aback by that unexpected reply, and he immediately felt upset, “Lizzie, are you doing this on purpose? I’ll admit that you’ve made me jealous, terribly jealous.” Charity was speechless. Coming across that
Only after Monte left did Hugo only dial Catherine’s number. “Miss Jones, the fish has taken the bait.”“That’s good. Thank you, Young Master Jeffs.”“No worries. It’s my honor to be able to work with you.” Hugo did not forget about his father calling him last night, saying that they had successfully achieved a partnership with the Costner family. His father was so ecstatic that he even showered Hugo with praises. Hugo had not been praised like that by his father for a long time. “Don’t say that. The entertainment activities in Neah Bay and Newcastle are similar, so having a partnership will only make our businesses grow bigger,” Catherine said and smiled. “We’ll still be counting on you after this.”“It’s fine. Once Monte starts his operation, I’ll hand you the related information. When that time comes, you guys will be the ones to report it to the police.”“Thank you.”After the call ended, Hugo lit a cigarette in a good mood. He did not expect that coming to Canberra woul
Chester frowned. “She isn’t willing to get a check-up.”“That’s normal. Many women don’t think they have any problems, especially those who have been hurt before. They’ll even think avoiding contact with the opposite sex will bring them lesser harm. Basically, it’s a type of self-defense.”Doctor Levin thought about it and gave Chester a complicated glance. “Ahem. Actually, you should keep a distance from that kind of woman if you meet one.”“...”Doctor Levin took a deep breath and mustered his courage. As an excellent psychiatrist, he thought he was obliged to rescue that lady. “Those women used to be traumatized by men, and they were harmed by them. If they get hurt in relationships again, their condition might deteriorate. They might even become twisted and extreme. If it’s a serious case, they might self-harm or inflict harm on others. Therefore, I think it’s better for you to stay away from that kind of woman for her sake and your own safety.”Chester laughed. “Doctor Levin,
“Did you guys agree?” Chester tightened his grip on the wine glass. “I had to.” Shaun supported his forehead on a hand. There was a helpless and doting smile on his mouth. “If I dare to disagree, Cathy will definitely take the kids and leave the next moment.”“Is her relationship with Eliza that good?” Chester was confused. “It’s that good.” Shaun nodded. “It’s weird. She clearly hasn’t known Eliza for a long time. However, there are plenty of rooms in the Hill family’s manor. Eliza can even stay there for a year or so.”Chester took another sip of wine. Was he that hateful to Eliza?She would rather move to the Hill family’s manor and live under someone else’s roof than return to her villa. “Speaking of which, don’t you feel embarrassed making a scene in other people’s neighborhood?” After letting out a tsk, Shaun said, “Even I can’t do that kind of thing, okay?”“Embarrassment?” Chester patted his handsome face. “That word isn’t in my dictionary.”“...”Shaun was speech
Chester drank a lot that night. He was still dizzy when he went to the company the next day. He only felt better after drinking a cup of coffee that he asked his secretary to pour. Ken suddenly knocked on the door outside and entered. “President Jewell, there’s progress on the investigation you told me to conduct on Reborn the last time.”Chester was stunned. Only then did he remember he had asked Ken to investigate Eliza during that period. He kept finding it weird that Eliza was Reborn. If it were yesterday, he would definitely have been interested. However, Chester had already decided that he would not have private interactions with her except during work. He was too lazy to probe into her secrets as well. “You don’t have to tell me about her information anymore in the future. Stop investigating her too,” Chester said indifferently. Everyone had their own secrets. Chester feared that the more he dug, the more interested he would be in Eliza.Ken was astonished. “Pr
“It gets weirder the more I investigate it, so I had people go to the US. Reborn first appeared six years ago. It’s said that she only stayed there for half a year and then magically disappeared. She showed up again on Europe’s stock market two years ago. Her methods were similar to before, but she backed out after earning ten billion dollars. She popped up in a few places around the world in these few years, and her movements are irregular.”Chester squinted his eyes and crossed his arms. “Has anyone seen the real Reborn?”“I think no one has seen Reborn’s face aside from Della’s team.”“By the way, you said this was related to Charity just now?” Chester suddenly asked.“Yes,” Ken said. “I’ve checked Bay Hotel, which is the hotel Reborn stayed in when she first appeared six years ago. I spent a lot of money and found something particularly strange. This is the photo saved in the hotel’s security cameras.” He had spent a lot of money to find out that Reborn had previously stayed in
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
