“Four stitches.”Chester was so guilty that he wished he could slap himself to death.“Enough. Stop feeling guilty.” Charity saw through him. Her tone carried a trace of helplessness. “Ever since I met you, I’ve always been injured. That’s very unfortunate of me.”“Charity…” Chester was even more ashamed. At that point, all he could do was feign pity. His handsome face looked pitiful. “I promise that this will be the last time.”“Fine. You’ve risked your life to save me. Actually, I could’ve left you to hurt yourself this time, but… I subconsciously stretched out my hand.” Charity forced a smile. “If I’d known earlier that whether stopping you or not would’ve led to the same result, I might as well not have stretched out my hand.”Chester was speechless.Initially, he was a little hurt. Nevertheless, at the thought of the sentence ‘I subconsciously stretched out my hand’, Chester felt a lot better. “Perhaps that was because… you’re still concerned about me.”With that, he cautio
“You should’ve told me earlier… I could’ve lost that thing of mine long ago and needn’t wait until this day.” Child-like happiness was all over Chester’s handsome face. Charity was speechless. She had no words upon seeing his nonchalant attitude. Did he think his manhood was a strand of hair that could easily be unwanted? It would be a lifetime of humiliation for men. On the other hand, Chester was eager to lose it. “I was unaware that you don’t care about it that much,” Charity said deliberately. “You switched women as if they were clothes in the past. Who knew you would become such a devoted lover after turning over a new leaf?”Chester could hear the sarcasm in her words. However, he no longer cared about it. “If we didn’t break up because of misunderstandings when we were young, I wouldn’t have stooped so low or harbored so much hatred toward women.” Charity was unconvinced. “If you had sufficient trust in me, there wouldn’t have been misunderstandings.”“Charity, p
It was late into the night when Charity arrived home. She went to the nanny’s room to have a look at Cal. After returning to her room, she did not feel sleepy. It could be due to the pain in her hand or other reasons…The next day, after having breakfast and rushing to the hospital, Dr. Washington was already preparing to conduct Larissa’s surgery. Larissa spotted the bandage on Charity’s hand right away. “Oh, how did you hurt your hand?”“I accidentally grazed it,” Charity explained calmly. “You’re so careless. How will I be at ease for my surgery?” Larissa nagged a lot. Her words were filled with a mother’s concern for her daughter. After Dr. Washington administered anesthesia, Larissa was pushed into the operating room. Dr. Washington went up to Charity apologetically after changing. “I’m sorry that Young Master Jewell was threatened because of my granddaughter yesterday. Don’t worry. I’ll handle this surgery personally and ensure that your mother recovers as soon as p
In the end, even Catherine, a person who had gone through a lot in love, had no choice but to say, “Your love is too extreme.”“What happens now?” Freya clicked her tongue. “Get back together? I don’t think it’s a good idea. You’ll have to live like a widow.”“We can’t say that,” Catherine added. “There are still many ways to satisfy a women’s desire.”Freya’s eyes lit up. She could not resist giving Catherine a flirty gaze. “Well, it seems like Shaun had used other ways to satisfy you before. That’s great. Shaun can teach Chester so that Charity can live a happy life. Wait, Chester has much experience too. He might be better than Shaun.”“You shouldn’t mention this,” Catherine warned.“Right.” Freya quickly covered her mouth. “Although Chester had many women in the past, the only part of him that betrayed you is gone. As long as you don’t mind, nothing matters anymore.”Charity was speechless. While she listened to them talking, the topic got even more revealing. Luckily, it w
“Anyhow, now that both of you are back together, I’m relieved.”As Chester’s friend, Shaun was distressed. He had been worrying about Chester over this one year. Regardless of whether Chester was in a local or overseas hospital, Shaun could not stop worrying about him. “Yeah. I’m quite pleased too.” Chester’s thin lips curled into a smile. However, something struck him, and his gaze soon turned grim. “This time, I won’t be soft-hearted and take pity on my parents.”Shaun asked, “Are they insane? Why do they treasure Cindy so much?”“They’re probably eager to have Cindy pregnant with my child. This way, there will be a descendant for the Jewell family, and they wouldn’t need me anymore.” Chester said teasingly, “What’s more, once Cindy gives birth to the child, my money will belong to that child in the future.”Shaun was astonished as that did not cross his mind before. “Who do you think came up with this idea? Cindy or your parents?”“Cindy probably has dropped a hint before, an
Shaun chuckled.Having been watching the drama unfold, Shaun could not contain his laughter anymore.“Director Ashby, for your information, Eliza had agreed to get back together with him because she thought Chester had lost that part last night. But now, you’re saying he’s fine. If Eliza finds out the truth, she might assume that Chester has bribed you to deceive her.”Director Ashby was stunned. It was only after some time that he said with a long face, “My wife has always complained that I’m bad in bed, so it’s my first time hearing someone agree to be with a man just because he can’t do it.”Chester’s face darkened, and he said angrily, “Since I’m fine, why didn’t you directly tell Eliza about it last night? You lied to her that I’d lost that part.”“I wanted to frighten her.”“...”At that instant, Chester did not feel like talking as he was done quite a disservice.Upon realizing that Chester looked displeased, Director Ashby felt distressed. He went all out to save Cheste
After Charity managed to deal with Larissa perfunctorily, she wheeled Chester out. At the sight of the man’s haggard look, she was filled with a mix of emotions. Even though she had promised to get back together with Chester, she had never thought about how to get along with him.Over the last few days, she did not bother about him since Larissa had just completed her surgery. Even so, he came to look for her of his own accord.“Charity, I just wanted to see if Mrs. Robbins was recovering well.” Chester pursed his thin lips. After pausing for two seconds, he said gently, “Also… I’ve missed you. Do you…”As much as he wanted to ask whether she had missed him, he was self-aware, so he bit his tongue.Charity was at a loss for words.She felt as though she were a dull machine. In the face of such sweet words, she had no idea how to express herself.“Ahem. Charity, you’re not backing out, are you?” Chester extended his hand and held her injured hand nervously and gently. “You can’t
Cindy was even confused about the investors who had agreed to invest in Eagle Videos as they all changed their minds. They were not picking up her calls as well. Cindy blamed everything on Charity. “You’re so shady. You and Levi tricked all the shareholders.” Cindy was furious. Charity placed a pillow behind her back to lean against it and smiled nonchalantly. “Cindy, the business world is like a warzone. No one will be polite before launching an attack. People in business are all about benefits. To be honest, I don’t want to work with you, and I know your ambitions for Eagle Videos. You want to develop Eagle Videos and its management rights. However, that’s your business. To be honest, I’m not optimistic about it at all.”Cindy said coldly, “Eagle Video has great momentum now. Its users are increasing, and it has a bright future. Didn’t you invest in Eagle Videos because of this? You’ll regret pulling out now.”“The business world isn’t as simple as you think, and I don’t re
