After pausing for a moment, Max said again, “But… if you feel like falling in love one day, can you give me a chance? It’s because… I truly love you. Don’t worry. If you can’t bring yourself to love me after that, I definitely won’t force you.” His lips curled into a bright smile.Charity stared at him, not knowing what to say all of a sudden.She just felt… a little conflicted.At last, she nodded. “Alright.”Max grinned.His grin was like a shiny star in the night sky.It was so bright and sunny.The man had experienced bloodshed on the battlefield before, ye he was always pure when he was with her. “Bye. Good night.” Charity turned around and entered the neighborhood.Max kept his eyes fixed on her until her figure was out of his sight.…The next day.Charity woke up only to find that she had become one of the trending topics.Last night, the server took a photo of Max and her eating in the mall and even posted it as a story on Instagram. Soon, someone screenshotted
“How do you know he’s playing with my feelings?” Charity said indifferently, “At least he doesn’t have a fiancée. Even when I went out with him, I wouldn’t be called a homewrecker.”Monte quickly said, “Lizzie, give me some time. I should be able to cancel my marriage with the Tanner family next month. I’ve managed to partner with Hugo lately, and my dad is impressed.” “Really?” Charity feigned surprise.“Why would I lie to you?” Monte coaxed her softly, “Eliza, let’s have dinner together tonight. I miss you so badly. Seeing the news today has made me so jealous that I’m about to go crazy, and I really can’t accept you going on a date with another man. I promise I’ll cancel my marriage to Lilian. I swear on my life.”Charity sighed. When it came to saying sweet nothings, Monte was a f*cking talent.“Okay, then.”“Let’s eat at Corella. Do you remember that we shared our first meal together in that hotel? And after that, we did stargazing together.” Monte said joyfully, “I’ll come
“I think so too. That’s very bold of Monte. Eliza isn’t someone to be taken lightly. Even Young Master Jewell got tricked by her.”“Keep your voice down. Young Master Jewell is coming in a moment.”“You’re right in reminding me.” The speaker instantly lowered his voice. “I heard Eliza quit the entertainment industry because she became Monte’s kept woman. I guess they have rekindled their relationship.”“Pah! Monte isn’t a good guy. I heard that when Monte and Eliza broke up previously, Eliza disagreed with it and even threatened him with her life. However, the Patterson family didn’t approve of Eliza, and Monte also thought that Eliza wasn’t helpful in his career.”“How did you find out?”“My wife and Madam Patterson talked about it over a meal.”“But up close, Eliza is really pretty. It didn’t seem like she was wearing any make-up, but her skin was translucent. No wonder Monte and President Jewell want to sleep with her. Lilian’s appearance is nothing compared to Eliza’s.”“How
Chester softly exhaled a mouthful of smoke.He tried to fight his split personality.“What is everyone staring at? Start eating.” Chester lifted his exquisite chin.“Yeah.” Only then did everyone recover from their senses. “President Jewell, it’s been a long time since we had a meal together. Come. Let’s all toast to President Jewell.”Subsequently, everyone took turns to drink a toast to Chester.If that had happened in the past, Chester surely would not care to drink with them.However, alcohol appeared to be the only thing he could use to numb himself today.As a doctor, he knew full well that he could not drink alcohol after having gastrointestinal bleeding, but alcohol could prevent him from losing his sanity.Alcohol could prevent him from thinking about Charity all the time.…On the top floor, the server in the restaurant pushed a trolley of flowers and cake toward Charity.Monte rose to his feet and received the flowers, from where he took out a beautiful diamond ne
After dinner, Monte staggered as he stood up. “Lizzie, I think I’ve drunk too much. Can you bring me to the room to rest?”“Okay.” Charity held him by his shoulders.Monte was secretly pleased, and more than half of his body was leaning against hers.Charity tottered as she brought him into the room. Before she could switch on the lights, Monte pushed her to the wall.“Lizzie, I miss you so badly. Do you miss me?” Monte kissed her greedily and desperately. “Do you remember how happy I used to make you?”Charity covered his lips with a calm gaze.“Lizzie, there’s no one here. You don’t have to be shy.” Monte’s Adam’s apple bobbed. With his hand around her waist, he could not wait to act.While her hands were around his neck, Charity let out a creepy laugh. “Who said… no one’s here?”Monte was stunned. However, he suddenly laughed wickedly. “Lizzie, you’re bad. You really do know how to scare–”Before he could finish his sentence, he felt something sharp thrust into his shoulder
“It’s because Monte carried you into the room.” Chester smiled wildly. “I’m the only one who can touch your shoulders.”Charity’s head began to hurt. “Chester, you’re drunk.”“Yes, I am.” Chester bent over and lowered his head. As he whispered, his breath caressed her ear. “When I heard other people saying that Monte had taken you to the top floor for dinner, I would’ve f*cking chopped Monte off if I hadn’t made myself blind drunk. How dare that b*stard touch my woman. Even if it was just an act, I could hardly tolerate it.”Charity tilted her head imperceptibly, revealing the grand diamond necklace around her neck.Chester shifted his eyes down her neck and caught sight of the necklace.He gently caressed the diamond pendant and asked with a hoarse voice, “Was it from Monte?”Charity was speechless.“Or was it from Max?”“What does it have to do with you?” Charity could not be bothered to get herself involved with a drunkard.Chester tugged the diamond necklace hard with his
Charity pushed Chester. “Move away. This is the corridor. It’ll be troublesome if someone comes over later.”If she stayed there and a waiter saw them, her plans would be ruined. However, Chester refused to budge. In that case, Charity had no choice but to scratch his chest hard. Chester hissed in pain and grabbed her wrist, dragging her to the emergency exit behind a door. “No one will see us here.” Chester pressed Charity against the door. His bright, handsome eyes were filled with bewilderment. “Let me go. I want to go back.” Charity did not want to get involved with him anymore. “Chester, I told you very clearly last time. Let’s just go our own way, okay? I believe you can do it. After we broke up, didn’t you have lots of fun over the years and so many women by your side? You can continue to do that in the future.”The dark stairway fell silent for some time before Chester said in agony, “But whenever I close or open my eyes now, all I see is you.”Charity stared int
Ken was taken aback. After a moment, he said, “Of course. There are many things in this world that I can’t have simply because I want them.”“Elaborate on it.” Chester passed a cigarette to him. Ken accepted the cigarette and said, “You know that my parents divorced when I was five years old. I had a happy life before I was five, but it only took an instant for everything to fall apart. No matter how much I begged my dad not to divorce my mom and abandon me, he still left even after I knelt and pleaded with him not to leave. It was because he had another woman outside, and that woman was pregnant too.”Ken smiled. “I asked for a complete family and for the people I loved not to leave me. However, those were just my wishes. Everyone is an independent individual. They’re not obliged to satisfy me.”“That’s right. She’s not obliged to satisfy me either,” Chester muttered. Some people wished for family love, while some hoped for romantic love. However, emotions were the hardest to
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
