"Shouldn't you be begging Griffin or Lucia for mercy? Why did you come to me?What can I possibly do?”
Christine smiled knowingly and said, "Daphne, I know you're a smart girl. You know why I came to you! I know that you were only forced to be with Griffin, while the man you really love is Jacob. I promise you that if you help us, we'll—"
Daphne couldn't bear to hear whatever Christine had to say.
The mere fact that they had come to grovel to her was so disgusting!
She was so angry that she banged her fist on the table loudly, startling both Christine and Aliyah. "Are you insane? I don't have any feelings for Jacob! You should probably see a doctor. How on earth could you think that I'd still love someone who nearly destroyed my whole life?"
Without waiting for a response, she stood up to leave.
Aliyah yelled, "Daphne, I don't believe you! I know you would do anything for Jacob! Just help him out,will you?"
Standing there,D
As she finished her skincare routine for the night,he walked up to her and enveloped her in an embrace from behind.Daphne gulped when she felt his erection pressing against her buttocks.Maybe she was wrong about him being impotent.Afterall,she had no proof.Maybe he just had his reasons of not sleeping with her yet.And tonight,it will not also be possible because she was on her period.“I…I am on my period.”She informed him.“When did it start?”He asked,quite disappointed.“This evening.”“Are you okay?”He asked her,his voice laced with concern.“I’m fine.Why are you asking?”“I know women tend to have cramps and all that.Lucia is always in a terrible state whenever it’s that time of the month for her.Perhaps,if you’re in any discomfort,you can let me know the things that you do to make you feel better.”Daphne smile
Daphne existed in a daze, detached from reality.The realization then dawned upon her that she now resided with Griffin, obliged to prepare an evening meal for him.After drinking in another glass of wine, Daphne grew angry and crazy!Griffin had barely consumed a morsel of the food she had cooked the previous night.Tonight, she won’t cook for him!He had asked her to live with him not to cook for him everyday!After consuming half a bottle of wine, Daphne succumbed to a mild state of intoxication, resting her head wearily on the table as she murmured, "Layla, I cannot accept this!"Jacob had played cruel tricks on her in the past, and now Nadia had orchestrated her downfall.Why should she be subjected to such dismissive treatment by these individuals?"I will take legal action against Nadia."Layla decided not to drink too much herself.At least one of them has to be sober, "Very well, let us proceed with
Daphne tried to maintain a calm demeanor as she emerged from the room.Unexpectedly, the table was adorned with a lavish delicacy,surpassing the culinary prowess of her own cooking.“I thought you said we were only having a midnight snack.”She said to him.He shrugged.”I figured you might be so hungry from all that drinking so I got the services of the cook from the Reyes family estate to make us this meal."After pondering for a moment, he continued, "If you find cooking burdensome, I can request Miranda to prepare dinner instead."Quickly interjecting, Daphne replied, "No, I will take charge of cooking."She understood Griffin’s meticulousness regarding his privacy. Having Miranda stay and prepare dinner every evening would undoubtedly disrupt his work. She dared not impede his endeavors.Griffin did not insist and dined in silence.Daphne, perceiving her role as one of servitude to him, proactively ladled a bowl of soup for Griffin.In response,Griffin lifted his gaze.In hushed to
Jacob sighed and brought out his cellphone,unlocking it,he slid off to the app where he had saved all his photos of Daphne.He came by one of the pictures where she was deeply asleep.Oh he had loved taking pictures of her whenever she falls asleep.She always looked even more lovely and peaceful in her sleep.He had always thought he couldn’t love anyone.He believed love was a weakness and while he fooled Daphne into thinking he loves her.He had to admit that he enjoyed her company more than any woman he had ever been with.She always knew how to lift his mood whenever he was sad and she brought him so much joy.Gazing at the picture,his eyes were locked on it, his focus unwavering until a knock on the door shattered the tranquility of the moment.His mother walked in.“Jacob,we need to talk about something important.”Jacob exhaled,putting his phone away and sitting up.“What is it?”Christine tentatively walked closer to him.“You’ve been quite upset since this whole issue of Daphn
Hers completely?That sounded impossible.With a sly smile on her lips,Layla continued.”While I know making him yours will take some time,for now,you have to make sure he attends the reunion with you.”How could she do that?She really could not go to his office everyday to remind him of the reunion while he has something much more important to attend to.She didn’t want to push her luck.Instead,she just continued sending him breakfast and new set of clothes everyday.This way,she was tending to his needs without being a nuisance.While she hopes he could make out time to attend the reunion with her,she didn’t remind him about it and just wanted him to go with her on his own free will.On Wednesday,Daphne spent the entire day with her father.In the evening, she planned to prepare some delicious dumplings and deliver them to Griffin the following day.As she busied herself in the kitchen,her cellphone rang out.Without checking the caller’s ID,she picked up.“I’ll be home tonight.”T
Sighing sadly,she put on her nightdress.It’s not as if she could force him if he doesn’t want to get on with it.But it made her wonder why though.What exactly was the problem?************The following morning,Daphne stirred awake,greeted by the sight of Griffin expertly knotting his tie by the bedside.Seeing her awake, he leaned down and gave her a morning kiss.Blushing,she realized she hadn’t even brushed her teeth yet.“I have a meeting later.You can get more sleep if you want.Oh,Miranda took the day off today.”Intending to quickly make him breakfast,Daphne made to get out of the bed but he shook his head.“You don’t have to make me breakfast.I’ll just have Jessica order breakfast for me.”Daphne nodded.What happened on the sofa last night had left them both yearning for more.As Daphne’s gaze fell on him,she noticed he had worn one of the shirt that she had bought.The rich coffee hue of the shirt complemented his features.His gray suit pants and wine-red tie added a touch
Layla was filled with excitement as she spoke about Owen.“Getting tickets to his concert is nearly impossible, and countless people are vying for a chance to attend! Who would've guessed that just twenty-five years ago, he struggled to make ends meet and couldn't even afford rent?"As a piano major, Daphne was well acquainted with Owen’s artistry and held him in the highest regard.Her teacher had even noted a resemblance in their playing styles.Her heart had swollen with delight.Owen seemed like an unattainable dream.The mention of his name and his return to the spotlight reignited her passion for the piano.She yearned to sit before the keys once again, creating melodies that would touch people's souls.Griffin’s suggestion of studying abroad after he gets tired of her seemed more appealing now.Lost in her thoughts, Daphne appeared absent-minded to Layla, who leaned closer and asked, "What's on your mind?"A serene smile graced Daphne’s lips as she replied, "Oh, it's nothing."
Daphne gently ran her fingers through her long, chestnut hair and said wistfully, "Sadly, it's not as nice as earlier when it was freshly blow-dried."Griffin chuckled softly.After a while, he added, "Don't forget to send me the time and address of the reunion. I'll be busy for the next few days."Daphne ran back to the bedroom to get her phone and forwarded the details to him without hesitation.As soon as he received her text,Griffin wrote down a memo.When he looked up, he found Daphne staring straight at him.He knew that she liked the way he looked. Catching her staring at him like this, he felt a little proud and gently touched her face. "You really enjoy looking at me, don't you? Why didn't you try to look at me when I took off my clothes to take a shower just now?"He teased her playfully.Daphne’s cheeks blushed furiously.She pretended to briskly clean up the table, but before she could reach for his empty bowl, he grabbed her by the hand. "Miranda can clean it tomorrow mor
Griffin didn't say any more and led her inside.The entire French restaurant he had reserved, probably because he wanted a quiet space to talk, but Daphne was stressed instead, and as she sat down to order, she whispered, "There's no need to break the bank like this!"Griffin didn't care what he ate, it was up to her.He took a small sip of his pre-dinner wine in his hand and smiled slightly, "Daphne, we've been good for so long, but there don't seem to be many private dates like this one, this place is quite nice, let's come here more often from now on?"Daphne ordered two set meals.After she thanked the waiter, she looked over at Griffin, who was leaning back in his chair and watching her.He does have a nice looking face!Under the luxurious crystal, he was more radiant than the lights.Daphne drank a mouthful of white water and opened her mouth in a hard voice: "The matter of Roscoe and Layla, I would like to ask you to do it."Griffin put down the cup in his hands, long fingers
Waking up in the night with a face full of tears.Later, she sat withered on the terrace all night, and when she came back to her senses the golden dazzling sunlight rose and shone over the whole earth.Daphne lowered her head and gently dialed Griffin’s number."Griffin, I want to see you!"After Daphne finished speaking, there was silence on the other end for a long time.Each of them could hear each other's subtle breathing, and gradually, Griffin breathing became heavier.But in the end, he just flicked, "okay!"He asked her to meet him at a French restaurant in the evening, Daphne refused, she whispered, "Let's talk in your office!"Griffin didn't squeak, clearly refusing.Daphne had begged him and still compromised, "Okay!"*****************************Hanging up the phone, Daphne was in a trance for a long time.Once again involved with Griffin,her heart was actually very clear, she does not pay something he will not help this favor, perhaps he has already laid a good game wai
Darren’s identity was revealed as the son of the richest man in London.In the past, his reputation was not very good, this can be considered to rub behind Daphne whitewash, but also by the financial reports called the father of a tiger without a dog son, especially the business elite model!Of course this group of magazines was also delivered to Griffin’s desk.He looked at it for a long time.He knows how close Daphne is to Darren,she loves him so much that she takes him with her on business trips to other cities.Jessica came in and saw his appearance, she said softly, "Lawyer Reyes, Ms. Daphne has a celebratory dinner tomorrow night, I got an invitation, do you want to go over?"An invitation gently put down.***********Regent Hotel.This celebratory party of Daphne’s a great sound.Darren’s dad Dominic, the richest man in London, specially rushed over from London. He came over to Anthony how can be compared, so also brought his wife and daughter over, of course, there is also hi
He chewed his gum and grunted softly, "Before I was asked to sell coffee, now I'm asked to sell cars,are you going to ask me to sell my body later?"Daphne said very lightly, "With your temper, you can still serve people?"Darren jumped up to serve one on the spot to show her.Daphne ignored him.Darren then snapped, "You say you're really meaningless! It's been a week and you're still thinking about that Griffin? I tell you that if you have tasted the flavor of a small tender grass like me, the package tube immediately put down that old man what is good, still do not know if it is okay!"Daphne was cold and indifferent: "Finish reading the information, I will take you to socialize tomorrow! You know how to play golf, right?"Darren wiggled his long legs.Daphne threw out a sentence, "If you don't know how to do it, go and learn it immediately!"Darren went limp: "Golf is a sport for old people, I'm so young!"***********The next day,Daphne took Darren to the golf course.The other p
They immediately changed restrooms.Layla smiled and said, "It's quite interesting, the firepower is quite fierce! But you're really bringing someone of his status around?"Daphne slowly washed her hands, "His father gave too much, injected 20 million dollars into my music room, I'll take it as bringing up his child!"Layla www envious.How come this thing of a rich man falling from the sky didn't fall on her head, having a little man to drive for herself, and making Nora happy, and also getting 20 million dollars, dreaming and waking up with a smile!As soon as Layla was envious, her stomach reacted.She lay on her back by the sink, dry heaving for a long time,Daphne rushed to give her a pat on the back but Daphne’s heart was a little suspicious of the shadow.Layla isn't pregnant,was she?Layla stood up straight and said very slowly, "It's just bad food."Her words did not completely reassure Daphne, and there was always a doubt.Just then, footsteps sounded outside, followed by a f
The day of Edgar’s wedding.Daphne looked at the invitation, a little out of breath.Time flies, a turn of the eye and half a year had passed, Edgar was getting married, Roscoe and Layla seems to get along well,everyone seemed to have a companion.Darren changed his suit and came in to see Daphne in a daze.He leaned over the side of his desk, took the invitation from her fingers and yelled, "Still thinking of old old?"Daphne was expressionless: "Remember who you are!""I know, I’m just a driver.”Darren looked at her, "Hey,can you go in there alone?If you had spent more money on me,I would have gone with you.”He was quite disgruntled when he said the latter.Daphne put the invitation away and said with a straight face, "It's fine if you don't want to go, wait for me in the car!"How can Darren be willing?He ran from London to Chicago,working as a driver in this small shitty company, just damn for the sake of disgusting surname Reyes, today was the good opportunity!*********The ca
"Owen,look at what mess Daphne is surrounded by, I've already said that her upbringing is too complicated, it's not suitable to go back to the Smith family at all, compared to Renee who is much simpler!"Laurel barked.Owen was a bit hesitant, "Daphne, isn't he not fit to be here?"Daphne gave a cool smile."Mr. Smith,I can't drive anymore, and you have a problem with hiring a driver?""Also, no matter if it’s complicated or simple, I can't climb up to your Smith family, so you guys should go back!"Darren shifted and stood beside her, "That's right, don't get in the way of our family meal!"Daphne shot a glance at him;who was family with him?However, Darren was quite fierce, putting him in Nora’s place to watch over the house was just right, the Smith family people come to disturb again also have a blocking protection.Thinking like this,Daphne looked at him much more smoothly!Owen’s face was pale.Daphne can't drive with her foot yet and can't be a pianist either?He went up and pl
He came closer to her, "My card was confiscated, 8,000 dollars you do not include accommodation,you’ll let me live on the street? With my appearance, how unsafe!"Daphne looked down to take care of something else.She said in a faint voice, "I don’t think there’s any problem with 8,000.”The man jumped up at once: "I can’t accept it.”Daphne pressed the intercom and asked her secretary to ask this gentleman to go out, it is really that her small temple can not accommodate this big Buddha, if she even let him work here, the entire female staff of the music center would not work.The secretary blushed, feeling so sorry for herself.Darren was quite angry: "I'm willing to drive for you but you need to increase the pay.”Just then, Nora came over with her lunchbox.She brought lunch to Daphne, and as soon as she arrived, she saw a big tall guy standing in the office, and he couldn't have looked better.He was so good-looking! Shiny all over.Nora was overjoyed!Darren heard Daphne call ou
She held her husband's hand, "Tomorrow you should perform well, more or less for Griffin to get good impression points, if you can't, you can bring Lucia there, I see Daphne likes Lucia very much,she can convince her.”Anthony frowned.Daphne was way older than Lucia.How much convincing could Lucia possibly do?**********Anthony was full of anticipation, thinking that Daphne was going to accept their family's hundreds of billions of dollars, but he didn't expect to be sued.Anthony politely sent the little girl away.Waiting for someone to go away.His old face darkened, "Get Griffin over here!"The secretary immediately went to do so and in less than half an hour, Griffin came over!In the president's room of Reyes Enterprise, the sound of porcelain breaking came from the room, accompanied by Anthony’s angry roar, "I told you to fight for her, I didn't tell you to deal with the O’Connell family! I have a close friendship with Gary O’Connell.His son’s company is on the verge of coll
