The feeling of anxiety followed for three to four days, but as nothing happened, Cecelia found herself a little relieved.Only as she finally relaxed did Cecelia realize that something was off about William.At that moment, she attempted to share some of her lunch with him.“Pretty boy, the braised pork today is really delicious. Try some.”With the pork sandwiched between her chopsticks, Cecelia raised it to William's mouth habitually.Although both she and William Sandler ate takeaway the
If you want a man to be in a good mood, all you have to do is satisfy him… Grace Turner’s words played repeatedly in Cecelia’s head. However, no matter how hard she thought about it, Cecelia still could not recall what exactly she had done to warrant such behavior from William. She stole a glance at the man reading a magazine on the sofa. His expression somehow seemed albeit more disgruntled than it was at the office. Could his moodiness really be because he was dissatisfied? Ceceli
Grace said he was dissatisfied, and he left the house right after he took a suspicious phone call… Could he have gone to see an ex-lover? “No way!” The mere idea of William potentially meeting up with a previous lover brought Cecelia to a half-blown mental breakdown. She ran into the bedroom and changed in record speed, leaving the house swiftly. There was no way in hell she was just going to let him meet up with an old flame! If nothing else, she would not tolerate him cheating on her
William appeared just in time to catch Cecelia as she fell. The stranger’s expression shifted abruptly when he saw William, desperately trying to conceal the fear in his eyes but to no avail. “Brother…” William glared coldly at this ‘brother’. “Cyrus Sandler. Do not challenge my limits!” Cyrus was his stepbrother, the very man who saved Cecelia before. They had a complicated relationship, Cyrus and William, and the latter would do anything if it meant Cecelia would be safe from being
Though Zachary’s sentence was left unfinished, William had already gotten the gist of it. Yet… In his arms, Cecelia’s looked more nauseated by the minute, her skin paled with sickliness and discomfort. William contemplated as he watched her with a complicated look in his eyes. Unbeknownst to the thoughts in William’s head, Zachary teased, “Don’t tell me nothing’d gone between both of you yet, William. And here I thought that this tree of yours finally popped its cherries.” The fact that Wi
’It’s so painful, my whole body is in pain as if I’ve been severely injured.’ The pain was so unbearable that Cecelia’s teeth chattered and she inhaled some cold air.She rubbed her aching neck and opened her eyes.“Sigh, why do I feel so tired even in my sleep?”Cecelia mumbled as she got up from bed, not realizing something was amiss until she started looking for her clothes but could not find them anywhere. That was when she realized...‘The room is unfamiliar, the bed is unfamiliar, ever
Cecelia did not understand why was she feeling so angry. The thought of William treating another woman the way he treated her made her heart suffered as if a large boulder was stuck inside.As a regular woman, the most she could afford was to buy him some clothes. He would then do all the house chores and wash her feet for her. The woman who owns the luxury car would be able to give him more. So he would even kneel at that woman?!Imaginations of that scene appeared in Cecelia’s mind and she s
Cecelia was running very fast, and she ended up bumping into another girl who’s speed rivaled hers.“I’m sorry. It was unintentional. Are you alright?” Cecelia politely apologized.The other girl was not as good-tempered as Cecelia. Not only did she not apologize, but she also ignored Cecelia’s apology.She shot a death glare at Cecelia and chided, “You didn’t bring your eyes along when you came out this morning? Can’t you even walk properly? What a brainless lunatic!”“...”‘What’s going o
