“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
Monte pinched her nose. “Enough. I know you’re young.”Charity stared at him coldly, feeling speechless. She was not as stupid as to not grasp the point that he was hinting that Charity was older than his new girlfriend.However, Charity was not old. She was merely 26 this year.“Monte, I never thought your taste would stay the same even after so many years.” While laughing, Charity said, “When you got together with me back then, I was a university student as well. Oh, but when I met you again during the new year, you were still looking for a university student to be your girlfriend. Tsk, you really are loyal.”The expression of the girl beside Monte changed. She promptly shook Monte’s hand and acted like a spoiled child. “Tell me, will you change your mind about me?” “How could I? You’re so adorable. I’ll never love you enough.” Monte pinched the girl’s nose. “I broke up with her because she insisted on entering the entertainment industry. She had done many things behind my back
Monte’s expression shifted.However, he soon concealed it. “I have no idea what you’re saying. My family has been doing proper business, unlike you.”“The Jeffs family from Newcastle,” Chester casually said. “Also, the companies that you’ve set up in Canberra previously are all involved in gambling.” Monte raised his brows and scoffed. “If you have the guts, go ahead and sue me. Beware, I’ll sue your family too.”With that, Monte did not stay around any longer. He stepped on the accelerator and left.As Chester watched the car drive away, he narrowed his eyes.“Could your dad be involved in this matter too?” Charity was dumbfounded. Considering that Monte had the audacity to make such a remark, there must be a reason behind it.“This matter… I’m really not sure.” Chester turned his eyes to Charity. “Are you, Catherine, and the rest unaware of it? Weren’t you the ones who hatched this plot by getting Monte and Hugo to work together?” “How do you know?” Charity glanced at him.
