“For example… marrying you?” Max probed. “But I know you’ll never marry Chester.”Charity laughed. “If marrying me is a way of atoning for his wrongdoings, that’s not atonement at all. That’s allowing him to continue enjoying life. Don’t worry. There’s no way he and I will be together.”“Alright. I was just asking.”On the other end of the all, Max grinned. After hanging up, a comrade in his team walked over and bumped onto his shoulder. “What an enticing smile. Were you talking to your childhood sweetheart again?”Max glanced at him and did not reply. “Hey, how long has it been? Haven’t you successfully confessed yet?” That comrade winked and glanced downward. “Are you impotent?”Max’s face instantly darkened. “I’ll use my fists to show you whether I’m potent or not.”“...I was kidding.”Everyone knew about Max’s abnormal skills, so that comrade took two steps back. “I’m doing this for your own good. It’s better to confess earlier. If not, do you really plan on being ‘siste
Although Doctor Jewell was usually gentlemanly, he was also famous for being cold-blooded in the hospital. There used to be many pretty female doctors who wooed him. However, Chester would simply say heartlessly with a smile on his face, “If you’re presenting yourself to me to have sex with me, I’ll consider it as long as you don’t have a disease and if you’re beautiful and unrestrained enough. Nevertheless, if you want me to like you and take responsibility, that’s… impossible.”In private, everyone said to not fall in love with someone like Chester because he was heartless and would never fall in love with any woman. It was said that the previous hospital director’s daughter had loved Chester to the extent she jumped off a building. Even so, Chester remained indifferent. Over time, people in the hospital no longer dared to have the wishful thinking of winning over Chester’s heart. Some people still liked him, but they only admired him and had a crush on him. The nurse tr
“Are you still my best friend?” Chester gritted his teeth. “The woman you’re talking about can't possibly be Eliza, right?” Shaun said, “I noticed earlier on that you were paying too much attention to her. I’m not saying it’s love, but there must be fondness and admiration. However, the Chester I know is calm and composed. You have a lot of experience with women. Even if you like someone, you can still control yourself and won’t torture yourself to this miserable state.”Chester’s expression was filled with self-deprecation. Shaun was right. If Eliza was just Eliza, he could still back off even if he admired her. Besides, he did intend to give up and distance himself from her initially. However, after finding out that Eliza was Charity, Chester suddenly understood clearly that Charity had always been in his heart.His hatred and contempt for her back then were because of his intense love for her. Nevertheless, he was unable to see the truth then.When he got attracted to E
Shaun drove back to the Hill family’s manor after sending Chester back to the villa. They both lived on the same mountain, so the drive took only six to seven minutes. It was a Saturday. Catherine accompanied and played with the children at home. When she saw Shaun returning, she glanced at him lazily. “You went out at 3:00 a.m. in the morning. Was it because a beauty had asked you out?”Shaun did not say a word. He simply walked over and hugged her tightly. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her red lips. “Wow, Mom and Dad are doing embarrassing things.” Suzie, who was playing with wooden blocks at the side, covered her eyes. “What are you doing?” Catherine pushed Shaun away while blushing. She scolded in a low voice, “It’s improper doing this in front of the children.”“I couldn’t resist it.” Shaun embraced her and rested his chin on her forehead. “Cathy, thank you for being able to forgive me back then. If not… I might get drunk in a bar every day and be in a living he
10:00 a.m.Charity received a call from Catherine. “How’s your progress in learning Neeson Corporation’s situation these days?”“I’m almost done understanding everything.” Charity said emotionally, “The core employees of Neeson Corporation from the past have all switched companies. We’ll have to boldly push for a revolution in our business if we want to start developing again.”“I have no clue about sports and exercise, so I didn’t know where to start even though I knew there was a problem with Neeson Corporation.”Catherine smiled and said, “Everyone is a master in their special fields. You have to be the one to do it.”“No. You’ve helped me out a lot. If it weren’t for you getting an experienced manager to help me manage the company, the core ideas would’ve been sold early on.”Catherine paused before diving into the main topic. “I heard from Shaun that Chester drank till midnight, which caused his stomach to bleed last night. It seems he’s been getting drunk these few days. He
After some time, she spoke again. “How does it feel to have a child?”“Let me start from after I divorced Shaun. At that time, the parents who raised me weren’t my biological parents. I didn’t have a mother, and my biological father already had a family and children of his own when I found him. I felt like I was an extra.”Catherine said emotionally, “After being tortured until I was half-dead by Shaun and escaping overseas, I really felt that living was meaningless. During holidays and celebrations, I didn’t even have anyone except Freya to wish me happy holidays until Suzie and Lucas were born. I didn’t like children a lot in the past, but no matter how tough and tiring things get for me, my heart would melt whenever I return home and look at my children while they ask to be spoiled.“It feels like there’s someone finally related to you in the world, and no one can erase that fact. Children are innocent. They’ll treat you like you’re their whole world. Then, you’ll realize that yo
“Besides, even if you want to meddle in these matters, you don’t have the ability to do so.” Chester gave Hunter an indifferent sidelong glance. Hunter’s face flushed red from anger. “No matter how incapable I am, you wouldn’t have been born into this world if it weren’t for me.”“If it weren’t for me, Jewell Corporation would’ve gone bankrupt long ago,” Chester reminded again. Hunter was exasperated. “You unfilial son. Other people have filial sons. Look at yourself. The only thing you haven’t done is not treat me as your father.”“It’s not your first day knowing I’m a scumbag,” Chester spoke lazily, looking utterly reckless. Hunter was speechless. Chester could even brazenly scold himself a scumbag. What else could he say?“Chester, I really don’t know why you’ve become like this,” Hunter said sullenly. “At the very least, you grew up in a family with a strong financial background. You didn’t lack clothes or food. You wore branded items that people envied. When you’re outs
Attorney Larsen kept quiet out of fear, but there were still some things he had to say. “President Jewell, once the 10 percent of shares are given to Eliza, her amount of shares will be almost even with your father’s. With your father’s abilities, he’s definitely not Eliza’s opponent. When the time comes, he might not even be able to maintain his position as the chairman. Once Eliza becomes the chairwoman…”He did not finish his sentence. Eliza was not like the stupid bunch of the Carlson family.She had wide connections and capabilities. Once she became the chairman, she would most likely remove Chester from his position. Attorney Larsen did not know why Chester would be so stupid to present an advantage to Eliza. “I know.”Chester’s eyes were half-closed. “Even if there comes a day when she wants Jewell Corporation, I can give it to her.”“...”Chester was crazy. He had truly gone insane. …A day later, Attorney Larsen rushed to Neeson Corporation after handling the r
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
