Neil thought, ‘Mom’s not joking around, and this isn’t some silly speculation. Uncle Caleb was just talking about this earlier.’

“Oh? Looks like I’ve married a femme fatale.” He sat down and asked, “What did you guys have for dinner?”

“The housekeeper made a few simple dishes. They weren’t anything special.” To Clarissa, the food wasn’t anything special, but to an ordinary person, it was probably equivalent to fine dining.

“Was there a cold platter or anything?”

“Uh, yeah. What’s wrong with that?” Clarissa looked confused.

“Did you eat it?” He looked at Michelle.

“Yeah.”

He frowned. “You need to stop eating these things from now on! Come on, let’s go home.”

In the car, Michelle realized why he had told her to stop eating cold foods—because she was on her period. Who bothered about those things? Obviously Ariana did, which was why he wasn’t allowing Michelle to do so. First, she couldn’t drink tea. Now, she couldn’t eat cold platters.

    When Neil got into bed, he instinctively placed a hand on Michelle’s abdomen. It only made her feel that much warmer.“Are you going to work tomorrow?” Neil rubbed his jaw against the sensitive skin underneath her ear, perhaps because he didn’t have anywhere to expend his sexual energy. It tickled her, and she started to heat up. Before things could get out of hand, she shifted away from him.“We’re having guests at the venue for the first time tomorrow, so I have to be there. Besides, this project concerns you as well,” Michelle said.“Are you putting in so much effort because this has something to do with me?” He knew they couldn’t do anything tonight, so he could only kiss her on the cheek. When he and Ariana were together, he didn’t even need to arouse Ariana. She’d take the initiative to help him out.He didn’t know whether Michelle wasn’t aware of these things, or whether she didn’t want to. No matter what he did to arouse her, she lay there lazily without doing anything. It

    Actually, Michelle had a similar painting at home, and it was by Wilson Adkins, one of the country’s most famous painters. Back then, Michelle had still been in university, and Wilson—who was still a nobody at that time—came to give a speech. There weren’t many people who had attended, and most of them had been forced by their lecturers to go. After the speech, she spent two thousand dollars on one of his paintings, which just so happened to be of water lilies. To everyone's surprise, Wilson suddenly shot to fame, and all his paintings became invaluable assets. Of course, Michelle had never considered selling the painting to earn some quick cash, so she kept the painting all these years.The woman continued to stare at the painting, saying, “If only this were the painting by Wilson Adkins.”Michelle looked at her. “Are you collecting his paintings?”“Yes. Here’s my business card.” The woman held out a card.Michelle looked at it—the woman was Celestine Fabbri, the president of Cele

    But after checking out the quality of D&C’s clothes, Celestine realized that it wouldn’t be a bad thing to buy some. Even if Michelle’s painting turned out to be fake, she wouldn’t lose anything. However, she would add on the remaining 40 million if it were real. Of course, she was only doing it for the sake of “Water Lilies”. If her company could truly establish a long-term collaboration with Wilson, he would be a walking advertisement for them.Any businessman would know this.People who weren’t aware of these things would never realize it, like Amber. She would only continue living in that tiny world of hers.Michelle had learned much from her father. She knew that sometimes, small losses would lead to big wins. She had promised Neil she would close a few more deals for D&C, and she knew Celestine was someone she could trust. Even if Michelle was wrong, all she would lose was the money she’d spent on the painting.She didn’t tell Neil about this. After all, who knew how things w

    Calvin gave him the rundown of what happened—that Michelle had used two thousand dollars to score a deal worth 70 million.“Is that so?” Neil didn’t look fazed. “Find a way to make Jonah hear about this.”Calvin was taken aback. “Neil, don’t you think you’ve done enough? They’ve already broken up, yet you keep trying to back him into a corner. Is there any point in doing that?”“I just can’t stand him!” Neil gritted his teeth in anger.He wanted Jonah to know Michelle had used her skills and expertise to earn him so much money and that this wasn’t something Jonah would ever experience.“I’m not going to do anything of the sort. Isn’t Amber pretty close to Owen? I bet she’ll tell him. Once he knows, Jonah will know as well.” Calvin then added, “Also, I think your dad’s probably heard about this by now. Nothing’s going to change the fact that Michelle’s your wife now. Give it a rest, Neil.”“I already have.” After a moment of thought, Neil said, “Ashlyn’s coming back, and I want yo

    During dinner, Michelle didn’t want everyone to focus on her, so she changed the subject. “Mom, how long will Ashlyn be back?”“Around ten days, I think. She said that her professor’s given her a few days off to rest after the jewelry exhibition. Thanks for doing this, Calvin. You two have always been close, especially since Neil and Ned never wanted to have anything to do with her. They always complained about her being whiny and prissy. You’re the only one who would have her,” Clarissa said.Neil shot Calvin a pointed look.“No, it’s fine.” Calvin wanted to see what the little girl in his memories had grown up to become. The last time he saw her was when she graduated from high school. After that, he was away on business trips or abroad every time she returned home. All he could remember was how she had looked before leaving the country to further her studies—she had worn a white shirt and denim jeans, her hair spilling over her shoulders as she tearfully bid them goodbye.After

  • Love in Twilight   Chapter 1030 Only He Didn’t Think She Was Dumb

    In the end, Calvin ran out of ideas. Despite that, he didn’t say anything about Ashlyn being dumb. In fact, he had never felt she was dumb. She was pretty, innocent, and had nothing to do with being dumb. It was just that she couldn’t understand math.Calvin sat there silently, trying to think of an easier way to make her understand.Ashlyn looked at him tearfully while holding onto his sleeve, afraid he’d give up on her. “Calvin, teach me, please. I know I’m stupid, but if you teach me slowly, I…I’ll get it eventually.”She sniffled while speaking, and it was hard for one to remain unmoved.Calvin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed her head gently and said, “I was just thinking of a different way to explain this to you so you could understand.”“Okay. Don’t…don’t give up on me.” Ashlyn wiped her tears and continued working on the problem.All three of the Lawrence family’s kids had gone to public schools, not private ones. Damien placed great importance on their educ

    The air in the Conrad household was warm and welcoming. Dana even prepared some warm milk for Ashlyn, to calm down the latter’s nerves. However, Ashlyn was so worked up that she found it difficult to fall asleep. Still, she managed to fall asleep later in the night.After Calvin woke up the next day, he went to Ashlyn’s room to wake her up. However, she was still sound asleep.Calvin wanted to shake her awake, but he couldn’t help himself from studying the delicate features of Ashlyn’s pearly white face. Poor Ashlyn must’ve felt sad after the argument she had with her two brothers.“Ashlyn, it’s time to wake up.” Calvin nudged at Ashlyn’s shoulders.“Huh?” Only then did Ashlyn open her sleepy eyes and greet Calvin. “Good morning, Calvin.”“You should head down for breakfast. My mom will send you to school later.”“Alright.”Normally, Calvin would ride his bike to school. However, since Ashlyn’s primary school was en route to his high school, both kids hopped into Dana’s car that

    That day, Ashlyn was wearing a short white T-shirt paired with a pair of long jeans. Around her neck was a necklace she designed herself, called ‘Tuplips’. When she saw Calvin, her eyes dimmed. It was as if she was wallowing in sadness from within.Looking at her, Calvin felt worried. However, he knew she was still a teen who needed time to make sense of her emotions. After so many years, Calvin figured that Ashlyn had already moved on from that problematic phase a long time ago. Perhaps, she had even forgotten about it.After the farewell party, Ashlyn left for Emmeria. Since then, she hadn’t had any contact with Calvin at all. It wasn’t until Damien asked Calvin to pick up Ashlyn from the airport did they meet again.All these years, Calvin had always thought about Ashlyn. That image of her pulling at his sleeve, asking him to love him, still hung in his mind. Whenever he thought about that scene, the corners of his lips would turn up. For some reason, Ashlyn was always on his min

    Benjamin walked to her side and suddenly hugged her. It was as if there were thousands of words that could not be said. Jacey did not refute. It was as if the two of them had known each other for a long time. It was as if they had known each other for a long time."Your mother did a good job with this exhibition," Jacey said."It's good. After all, you're an expert in this field," Benjamin said. "Or if you have any requests when you get married, tell my mother and let her customize the most beautiful jewelry for you.""Married?" Jacey didn't understand.She had never thought about marriage. Why did she feel so close to her when Benjamin mentioned it?She still felt quite confused."I'll treat you to a meal later?" Benjamin said. "What do you want to eat?"Jacey's eyes lit up. "Hotpot? How about a hotpot?"Benjamin smiled and said, "I thought you had a profound hobby. This is it."Jacey smiled again.Jacey didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, so she chose the

    Kenny smoked as he spoke. He had the look of a veteran in society. It was hard not to believe that he was a nouveau riche who did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates to save money."Sir, you've found the right person. Come and take a look." The workshop owner said. Then, he whispered a few words into Kenny's ear and asked, "Can you accept it?""What's so unacceptable about that? I'm definitely showing it to Party A. These people grew up in the countryside. What kind of milk have they drunk? I can't tell if it's true or not," Kenny said."Alright, alright," the workshop owner said with a smile."Just don't make it obvious. I'll go take a look at the manufacturing workshop." Kenny said.The owner of the workshop was initially quite shy, but Kenny said that he had ordered a lot, so the other party agreed.As soon as he entered the workshop, Jacey secretly turned on the pinhole camera when the workshop owner was not paying attention and filmed the production proce

    Jacey felt that under Kenny's serious and unsmiling appearance, there was a soft and warm heart.This note looked like it had been around for a long time. It was unknown how long Kenny searched last night before he found it and gave it to Jacey so easily.Jacey left.However, she did not expect that something would happen on her first day there.She brought a vacuum camera and made her clothes look like rural women's. After finding the milk production point, she said that she wanted to order milk in large quantities because she heard that the milk here was very cheap.The people in the workshop looked at each other and said, "I'm not selling!"The people in the workshop were very smart and vigilant. Their workshop had a fixed delivery channel. This woman was alone and was unlikely to be here to order. They found an excuse and sent Jacey away.No matter how much Jacey dawdled, the other party refused to let her in.For a moment, Jacey didn't know what to do. She was quite depres

  • Love in Twilight   Chapter 2114 Something Urgent to Talk to Him About

    Jacey was a little stunned. She really didn't know much about what the parents were talking about.Moreover, she hadn't interacted with Benjamin for a few days. Moreover, when Ashlyn came to visit this time, she didn't say a word about him. It made her feel very uneasy. She even wondered if he didn't mean that at all. It was all her own wishful thinking…For the past few days, Benjamin had not come to look for Jacey. She had not contacted him either.However, a few days later, Jacey received a Whatsapp message from Benjamin. There were many photos. It was a rather high-class living room. There were boxes in the living room. The living room was simple and noble, like a top-notch courtyard house.[This is the showroom and display cabinet for my mother's medieval jewelry. How about letting your mother take a look?] Benjamin said.[Where is this place? This place is so beautiful.][My mother's dowry. The courtyard house in Genovia.] Benjamin said.Jacey thought to herself, "As expec

    Today, Benjamin had already returned home."How is it? How's your first time meeting your in-laws alone?" Calvin teased Ashlyn."It's quite good. I'm preparing to hold a medieval jewelry exhibition and then let my employees learn medieval video skills. I said that I wanted to use their jewelry as an exhibition, but they didn't even want the deposit. How generous," Ashlyn said lazily as she leaned against the sofa."It's… it's over?" Calvin looked at Ashlyn and said in surprise.Benjamin sat there and smiled."What else?" Ashlyn asked."What are you going to do this time? Aren't you going to look for your daughter-in-law? Did you see what she looked like?" Calvin poured a cup of tea for Ashlyn.After so many years, Ashlyn still hadn't changed from her usual macho self. In fact, she was even more macho than before. Perhaps Calvin had been the one to deal with everything after marriage, developing Ashlyn's habit of not using her brain.Of course, it only meant that she didn't use

    For some reason, Ashlyn felt like crying when she saw this. In the past, these jewelry had traveled to another country. Now, these jewelry were all back with stories.She thought about how the person who owned these jewelry had brought them overseas and brought them back…She felt that the Irving family was worthy of admiration.Linda had gone out at some point. Seeing that Ashlyn was looking at her very seriously, she didn't disturb her.When she came in again, she was carrying a cup of coffee. The fragrant Americano she'd just ordered from the coffee machine on the first floor. It was made from good coffee beans.She handed the coffee to Ashlyn."Have a cup of coffee when you're tired. Anyway, these jewelry don't have long legs. They won't run away on their own," Linda said. "You can come and take a look whenever you want. I've always been here."Only then did Ashlyn feel that she had been watching for an hour or two, but she had always been like a pious primary school student

    On Saturday afternoon, Ashlyn drove to Jacey's house, a very simple villa.Ashlyn knew that writers liked to live in such a quiet place because they had inspiration in such a place.Jacey's mother, Linda, was already standing on her steps to welcome her.Linda was dressed in a Chinese-style robe. She looked very ancient, but because she was slender, she looked especially good. She looked like a fairy.Ashlyn was dressed in a very fashionable modern outfit. She was wearing a knee-length skirt, pearl earrings, and earrings. She looked especially round and beautiful. One look and one could tell that she was the kind of person who had never experienced the blow of life."I'm Jacey's mother. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Conrad." Linda reached out and held Isobel's hand. "Jacey said that you're coming to our house to take a look. I am so happy. I specially brought all the jewelry from the other houses here and packed them up. If these jewelry can be displayed in the exhibition and let everyon

    "Excuse me, how did you know about me?" Jacey asked."Oh, Benjamin's phone was on the table that day. He went to the washroom and I happened to see the photo album he was looking through. I picked it up and saw these few pieces of jewelry. You know it too. As jewelry makers, we won't let go of those rare jewelry no matter what. I asked Benjamin where these pieces of jewelry came from and he told me about you," Ashlyn said neither servile nor overbearing.She understood a girl's mentality very well. She knew that if the woman found out that the man had taken the initiative to leak her news to her parents, she would be very disgusted and feel passive. Therefore, she did not say that. Instead, she said that she had seen it herself. She even said that Benjamin was looking at these photos at that time.Jacey's heart would probably feel warm. After all, a man was looking at her photo behind her back. She should have a good impression of this man.Jacey really thought so. When she heard A

    After Benjamin returned home, he showed Ashlyn the jewelry he had taken for Jacey.Ashlyn was very knowledgeable. One look at this jewelry and she knew that it was priceless.Moreover, the girl wearing the jewelry also had extremely good skin and was extremely delicate.Calvin, who was sitting at the side, also watched.However, Ashlyn didn't just look at the jewelry. She said, "You only bought jewelry. Who is this person wearing jewelry behind you?"Ashlyn asked Benjamin gossipily."Don't ask," Benjamin said.Ashlyn smiled. "You said that you only took photos of the jewelry but didn't take photos of her. Aren't you trying to arouse my curiosity? Now that I'm curious, you're not making a move. However, I've been working on researching National Jewelry recently, so I'm lacking samples in this area. When are you going to ask this girl out? Let me take a closer look.
