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
Charity took the plate. “Have you eaten?”“He hasn’t,” Larissa said while smiling. “Chester came over early to learn how to make breakfast for you. You should head over quickly and eat it.” It was Charity’s first time eating breakfast that Chester made. As she tasted a pancake, Chester looked toward her nervously. “Aunty Queenie made the batter. I just cooked the pancakes and added toppings–”“You even added toppings. How luxurious.” Charity laughed. “It tastes good.”Chester’s suspended heart finally returned to his chest. “What will you be doing today?”“I haven’t been to the company for several days, so I have to go over today.” After Charity spoke, she saw Chester staring at her longingly. “Do you… have anything to say?”“You can go, and I’ll accompany Cal at home. But… do you want to go watch a movie tonight?” Chester said, “I remember you used to like watching young romance movies–”“That was so long ago. I’ve gotten bored of the plot.”At that, Chester’s expression we
“Anything is fine.”Chester was leaning so close that Charity turned her face away unnaturally. His gaze lingered on her face for two seconds before returning to the menu. After ordering and waiting for the waiter to leave, Chester said, “I did some research online, and it seems that their risotto here is famous.”“Haven’t you been here before?” Charity asked. “Who could I have been here with?”Charity glanced at him. “Who knows? You’ve been with countless women.”Chester’s scalp tingled. It was no wonder so many men were afraid of women bringing up the past.“But I’ve only ever loved you.”He held her hand brazenly. Upon recalling his past, Charity felt annoyed and flung his hand away. “Can you men separate love from your bodies?”“Charity, didn’t we promise not to mention the past?” Chester said frustratedly, “I even lost my manhood and paid the price.”“Serves you right,” Charity scolded. “It’s so filthy. If it’s gone, so be it.”“Yes. You have a point there. You ca
