Ashlyn opened the box, and saw a doll inside with long hair and fair skin. With its tall figure, it looked like a princess. The doll was obviously Ashlyn.“Oh, this looks just like me,” Ashlyn said awkwardly.She didn’t know whether to accept the doll or reject it. She didn’t feel comfortable accepting it. If she didn’t accept it, who knows what William would do with it? Would he hug it and kiss it to sleep? The more she thought about it, the more disgusted she felt. Calvin told Ashlyn that the reason he didn’t give her a doll of herself was because he didn’t want her to feel scared at night looking at herself. After all, who would want a doll that looked like yourself? Now that the doll was in front of her, an ominous feeling overwhelmed her entire existence.Ashlyn guessed that William must have seen Calvin’s doll by her bedside. ‘Oh gosh, is this some borderline stalker behavior? Will he kill me if he can’t have me for himself? Come to think of it, there are a lot of cases of mat
The moment Shawna asked for the signature, she regretted her words. From then onwards, she didn’t mention a word about the signature anymore because she didn’t want to make things difficult for Ashlyn.After their meal, Ashlyn footed the bill. It was around 10.4k.This was the most expensive meal Shawna ever had in her life.She even muttered to Ashlyn, “Do you really think we should waste so much money in returning his favor?”“Of course, it’s worth it! He has already given us so much, we shouldn’t owe him anything!” Ashlyn said.After they got back home, Ashlyn placed the doll beside Calvin’s doll. She even pecked Calvin’s doll on the cheek.Then, she sent a message to Calvin.Ashlyn: [I just returned. We spent around 10.4k for the meal today. He even gifted me a doll of myself. I thought about giving it back to him, but the thought of leaving ‘me’ with him is too scary of a thought. So, I accepted the gift.]Ashlyn took a picture of the doll and sent it to Calvin. Putting th
At first, Neil was sitting on the sofa reading a book. When he heard Calvin’s words, only then did he realize that Calvin was buying a gift to Ashlyn.“Aw, how cute of you,” Neil said, without even looking at Calvin.“At least I don’t subtract my girlfriend’s bonus when she’s doing her best in her work,” Calvin replied sarcastically.Only then did Neil look up. “You don’t want to pick a fight with me. How is your relationship with Ashlyn? How far have you gone with her?”Neil was very interested in the topic.“I don’t think I have the obligation to inform you about my personal life,” Calvin said.“Don’t mind him. He’s just trying to make fun of you. I’ll send the scarf to you via mail,” Michelle continued. “Or do you want me to send it to your company?”“You don’t have to do anything. I’ll come and take it from you here. I still have something to do, I’ll take my leave now.” After saying that, Calvin stood up and left.Neil was irritated at Calvin for leaving so early. Angry, h
The moment Calvin arrived at Lyrdell, he went to Ashlyn’s dorm immediately.Ashlyn knew Calvin would visit today, but she wasn’t sure what time he would arrive as he didn’t inform her about it. When she saw him in the house, she wrapped her arms around his neck and said excitedly, “Why didn’t you tell me that you’ve arrived? I miss you!”Calvin had bags of gifts in his hands. While hugging Ashlyn, he said, “Well, surprise!”Ashlyn was so overwhelmed that she couldn’t say another word. Wrapping her legs around his waist, she leaned her head against his chest and felt his warmth.Then, she pulled Calvin into her room.“How long are you staying here this time?” Ashlyn asked.Ever since Calvin’s smooth response to William’s advances, Ashlyn felt that she had grown closer to Calvin. She felt that she could inform Calvin about all her troubles and he would be able to solve them for her.“I’m not sure. I’ll head back if there are pressing matters to address in the company,” Calvin cont
Ashlyn was happy to have Calvin as her boyfriend. God was treating her well and was making sure she had everything she wanted in life.“Let’s eat!” Calvin had already finished preparing the dishes. He had prepared five dishes in total. Among the dishes were Shawna’s favourite chicken stew. Shawna was almost moved to tears. ‘How thoughtful of Mr. Conrad! Not only did he give me the things that I yearn for, but he’s also preparing food for us now!’“Mr. Conrad, how did you get these?” Shawna asked.“Oh, I have a friend who works in an entertainment company.”Shawna thought, “To be able to get the celebrities’ items that easily, I bet he has a great relationship with his friend. If I make a rough guess, his friend must be the higher-ups in the company. Or else, he wouldn’t be able to get in contact with the celebrities that easily. Plus, I didn’t even have to ask and he’s already delivered them to me! At this point, I don’t even need to ask for William’s help anymore. Who needs the ce
The reason Calvin asked Ashlyn to stay with her was because he knew they could never have sex since Ashlyn was on her period. Besides, he missed her dearly and could never spend another second being away from her.Looking into each other’s eyes, they laid on the bed, their bodies almost naked.Ashlyn blushed, her heart hammering against her chest.Since she just had her period this evening, her stomach pain was getting worse at night. Enduring the pain, she laid on the bed while looking at Calvin’s seductive body. She muttered to herself, “You look so sexy. Too bad I can’t have a taste of those muscles.”“You can still have a taste of me if you want,” Calvin said flirtatiously.Ashlyn’s face turned red the moment she thought about what happened at Windmere City the other day. She turned her body around and ignored him, saying, “I’m not going to respond to that.”Calvin climbed onto the bed and turned her body over to face him.Her cold skin touched his fiery body, and she shudde
The staff of Moonlight Entertainment accompanied William to the film set for inspection.William had a very good impression of the company. After giving it some thought, he even thought about being one of the shareholders for this production. However, Moonlight Entertainment would only allow investments for the entire company and not for individual productions. Looking at the set, he felt that Teenage Years would be a lucrative production, and that the company could earn a lot of money from it.Right at this moment, a woman standing at the side of the set attracted William’s attention. The woman had a tall figure and attractive looks. She was rubbing her hands until it was red and puffy. In her hands was her script. While looking over at the set, she kept muttering to herself. She seemed to be practising her lines alone.Her actions piqued William’s interests. He walked over.“May I know what your role is in this film?”Francesca looked at William curiously. “Oh, I’m just a cameo
Calvin saw Ashlyn on the phone when he stepped out of the bathroom, but he paid it no mind.On the other end of the line, William grew jealous when he heard Ashlyn say she was at Calvin’s hotel. After all, his feelings for her ran as deep as her feelings for Calvin did.“Ashlyn…” William sounded incredibly bitter. It was as if his most precious treasure had finally become someone else’s.Ashlyn could tell something was wrong with him, so she asked, “Is everything okay?”“Did you really have to tell me the truth? Couldn’t you just lie to me? Or…” William choked up. Did she have to be so blunt and harsh just because she didn’t have feelings for him? It was his right to have feelings for her; they had gotten along swimmingly when traveling the world. He’d treated her with utmost care and attention back then, but it hadn’t bothered her the slightest. Why had she changed so abruptly?His words and tone rendered Ashlyn speechless. “I…”She didn’t know what to say, but she couldn’t lead
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
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. From her appearance, I think she's dressed very well. Moreover, I can see her face from her bone structure. I think
