Rosie was stunned. The next moment, she exclaimed in disbelief, “What? What did you say? Mic, say it again. I didn’t hear it clearly.”Ivanka remained silent. She knew Rosie had heard it the first time, but could not believe what she heard. She wanted to hear it again to confirm.Michael decided not to respond and walked over to sit on the sofa.Rosie, however, was not satisfied. She looked at Ivanka and asked, “Iv, what’s going on? What did that brat just say? What were you two doing?”Ivanka’s eyes flickered with guilt. She did not know what to say. She did not want to lie to Rosie, but could not bring herself to tell such a lie. The thought repulsed her. She did not want to become too entangled with Michael, not even in a fake relationship.Michael clearly understood what she was thinking. His gaze was cold, and his expression darkened. He was not pleased with Ivanka’s constant rejection of him.Rosie was determined to get to the bottom of things. She insisted on confirming wh
If not for the fact that Rosie’s heart ached for Michael, she would have punched him multiple times. At that moment, she had no choice but to wait for Michael to say that to her again. Even though she had heard him clearly, she was still unsure. She wanted him to personally say it again. After all, Michael and Ivanka had given each other a hard time for a long time. Finally, their relationship grew after experiencing all the tough moments. Seeing that Michael had fallen silent, Rosie asked again, “What’s the main purpose of you coming over here? Do you have any more secrets hiding from me? Regardless, I’m very happy that you two admitted that you’re dating. Go ahead and do whatever you want!” Rosie looked very happy. Nonetheless, she still did not feel at ease. She somehow felt that something was off somewhere. It could be because she had been thinking about them, so she could not help but keep observing them. Rosie had looked forward to the two getting together, but Michael
Michael crossed his slender legs and said indifferently, “I’ve arranged the time with the people from the movie theater. It’s not time yet.” Ivanka quickly said, “It’s still early. We’re not in a hurry. We’ll go there after you take your shot.” She had explained the details to Xander, so he knew the arrangement. After Ivanka finished her sentence and before Rosie responded to her, they heard the doorbell ring. Ivanka said, “It could be Xander.” As she was saying that, she turned her head around. The butler already went over to open the door. True enough, it was Xander entering the house with a medical box. When he saw them inside the living hall, he smiled. “Rosie, we meet again.” Rosie replied to him in a somewhat woeful tone, “Our meeting is always an unforgettable experience for me. Xander cleared his throat. “It always happens to be a coincidence.” Rosie shook her head in resignation. Nonetheless, she straightened her body swiftly. “Come, I’m ready.” Xander glance
After finishing her last sentence, Rosie looked up at Xander. She seemed mentally prepared for his answer. Xander’s eyes flickered with some emotions. To be honest, he had no idea. He only listened to Ivanka’s instructions. However, he could not reveal anything. He looked at Rosie with a smile, then he made it sound like he was just talking about the weather. “It depends on if your body still lacks the essential nutrients. If not, then you naturally don’t have to take the injection anymore. But if your body is lacking the nutrients, you need to take the shot.” Rosie sighed in resignation. She analyzed his words and said, “In other words, I’ll need to take a few more shots if my body is still lacking the essential nutrients.” Xander said nothing more. His silence meant consent. Meanwhile, Ivanka said with a grin, “Grandma, that’s why you need to take care of your health. You need to stay optimistic and watch your temper. If not, you’ll need to take another shot.” “Why do I n
“Alright. There’s nothing more on my side. Quick, go and watch the movie now. You don’t need to keep me company. Xander, you can go back and do your work, or take a rest at home. You can all leave now.” As Rosie said this, she looked exceptionally happy. Xander looked a bit stunned and wondered. “Watch a movie together?” He wondered what had happened before he came. Ivanka fell speechless. Meanwhile, Michael said calmly, “No hurry.” “Nonsense! You can always ask them to show the movie earlier. You can go now.” Ivanka did not know what else to say. Xander touched the tip of his nose. He finally figured it out that his presence would only affect their relationship. That was why Rosie had asked him to leave. Michael looked resigned. Rosie instantly said, “Go now! Samuel will come back in a while, and I still have a lot of things to chat with him about. Don’t stay around as a third wheel over here.” Xander could not help but smile. His eyes were filled with amusement. “Ok
“I beg you. Let go of me! Please!” The girl’s voice sounded a little clearer than the other two voices. “Are you begging us to let you go? Do you think begging will help you now?” When he said this, the man suddenly laughed obscenely. “If you want, you can ask us for other things later. We might go gentle on you.” After that, the man laughed obscenely again. He sounded extremely sickening over the phone. Xander’s expression was colder as he growled, “Turn on hands-free.” The girl panicked. Only Xander could save her. She had no choice but to do what Xander asked her to. She quickly turned on the hands-free speaker function. “I’ve turned it on.” She only said these few words softly and nothing else. Just as the two men were about to come over, she raised her phone in fright and exclaimed, “The person on the phone wants to talk to you!” The men’s expressions instantly sank. “How dare you call for help, you b*tch?!” After the men said that, they rushed up and wanted to
Drake was already in a state of panic. The person next to him did not even finish his sentence and purposely left him hanging. Drake grew even more panicked. He immediately looked at the person next to him and asked urgently, “Who is he?” The girl’s face was still pale, but her heart relaxed the tiniest bit at the sudden realization that both men were afraid. She was gripping tightly onto her phone, as she was terrified that she would accidentally drop it. If she were to hang up accidentally, these two would do as they pleased with her. What would she do then? She was so absolutely nervous at that moment. The thug next to Drake took a deep breath and said in a panic, “It sounds like Mr. Quinn…” “Mr. Quinn!” Drake called out extremely loudly in panic. When the girl realized that they addressed Xander properly, she was overjoyed! Calling Xander for help had worked after all! Drake took a deep breath amid his panic to try and control his emotions as much as possible. Th
“Run?” The thug’s mind was filled with a single thought. He was entirely in a state of panic. “If we stay and Mr. Quinn sees us both here when he comes over, won’t we be an eyesore to him and make him even angrier?” Drake instantly felt that he had a point and immediately whispered, “Go talk to him!” The thug was Drake’s lackey. Even if he was not happy about this, he did not dare to say it out loud. He could only suck in a breath and take a step toward the girl. It was as if this would show how sincere he was. However, the girl screamed in fright, “Don’t come over!” As she said that, she took three steps backward. It just added two feet to the distance between them. The thug was terrified. He quickly stretched his hands out and waved them about. “No, no, no. I don’t mean to harm you. I just want to say a few things to Mr. Quinn…” “You can say what you want from where you stand!” The girl looked at the two men in front of her warily. They were both terrified. The thug
