Sylvia saw Joshua standing beside her with a bowl of pasta in his hand. It was steaming hot and looked incredibly fragrant. Moreover, Sylvia could smell the smell of prawns and other seafood. It was so fragrant.Sylvia knew that Windmere City was close to the sea and was rich in seafood. Even a bowl of ordinary pasta could make Sylvia drool, let alone her hungry state…"I made you a bowl of pasta. Do you want to try it?" Joshua asked."Thank you." Sylvia couldn't care less what she looked like. She took the pasta from Joshua and ate them in big mouthfuls.Seeing her scarfing down the food, Joshua smiled and got into bed.The moment he leaned against the pillow, he suddenly remembered the fettucine Zoe had once brought for him. His heart twinged painfully again, and memories of his past with her filled his mind.He did not think of Zoe on purpose but had never forgotten her.Sylvia accidentally touched him when she was done eating, pulling him out of his reverie. He looked at her
Sylvia didn't bother waiting for a response and hung up rudely. She lowered her head and started to eat alone. The food had tasted delicious before the phone call but now tasted like cardboard. Joshua's offended tone made her feel wronged and angered."Do you know why this shop suddenly became so popular?" A university student spoke to her companion."Nancy's Kitchenette has always been popular, hasn't it? It's been around for ages.""It wasn't this popular. Look at how much better it's doing than other eateries.""Why?"One of the students said mysteriously, "Do you know Zoe Wale? She came here for a meal some time ago. I heard that she used to like the food here.""Wow, Zoe Wale! I love her.""It's precisely because of fans like you that this place is so popular now."Sylvia lost her appetite when she heard their words. As expected, Zoe's presence was everywhere despite not having shown up once. Still, that didn't stop her from disturbing Sylvia's life in all aspects.She no
When Joshua entered the bedroom, Sylvia was pulling her luggage and heading to the bedroom next door."Don't go." Joshua grabbed her luggage. "I should be the one sleeping in another room."Sylvia said coldly, "You're the master of this place. You should sleep in the master bedroom.""Since neither of us should go anywhere, we can just stay here," Joshua said.Just as Sylvia's heart warmed up, he suddenly said, "I won't touch you tonight."She was utterly speechless.She was not against Joshua touching her. She was just unhappy that he thought of Zoe while with her.This made Sylvia feel like trash. This marriage was a farce."If we don't have any feelings for each other, we can get a divorce. I won't complain. I don't want any of your assets either," Sylvia said dejectedly.Having three people in a marriage was such a frustrating matter."No, we can't!" Joshua said firmly.He was a calm person and knew that divorce was impossible. Since Sylvia had been handed over to him, h
However, Sylvia felt disappointed and uncomfortable when she thought about how Joshua would only think about Zoe after she left.Only then did she truly understand what falling in love with someone out of her reach was like.On the way home from the airport, Joshua couldn't help but think of Sylvia's innocent and cute look when she kissed him. He smiled to himself.Sylvia used to be a happy and innocent girl when she returned to Emmeria. However, when she returned, her eyes were filled with sorrow and worry. It was obvious that she was troubled by love…Occasionally, she would be distracted in class. She would never forget the feeling of being with Joshua that night. It made her very impulsive. She was so impulsive that she wanted to go home quickly to see what Joshua was doing and if he was secretly meeting up with Zoe.Sylvia did not know if she had really fallen in love with Joshua or if it was just because she was angry with Zoe. However, her face would turn red when she thoug
In the past, Zoe had also addressed him that way. She didn't do it often, only on occasion. Back then, neither of them had predicted things would end up the way they had. They'd thought they would spend the rest of their lives together.Now, the person who called him hubby had changed. Someone had called him that before, so it was inevitable that he would feel strange when Sylvia called him hubby now.Joshua: [No. They only realized it long after I left the examination hall.]Sylvia sent him a kissing emoji.Joshua: [Alright, I'm in a meeting.]Sylvia: [You go ahead with your work. I'm going to study now.]Joshua was usually quite gentle to others. He rarely smiled but also rarely lost his temper—it was mainly because no one had reached the depths of his heart and seen his genuine emotions. There was no need to lose his temper.Joshua didn't reply.After Sylvia went to Emmeria, he returned to his original life. He had no feelings for Sylvia, and there wasn't anything between th
Zoe did not want to continue fighting. She did not want to stay in the Scarlet Nightclub any longer. "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."Yolanda said that she was tired and casually took a drink from the side. She pretended to trip over the person beside her and staggered for a moment before throwing herself into Dan's arms. The drink splashed on Zoe's face.At this moment, Yolanda looked like she'd lost all her bones. She clung to Dan and even let out a soft groan."I twisted my waist," she said coquettishly to Dan."What's wrong?" Dan asked Yolanda with concern, completely ignoring the disheveled Zoe beside him.Zoe instinctively took off her sunglasses and to wipe the drink dripping from her bangs into her eyes."It's Zoe Wale! The celebrity!""Why is she here?""Dan Bjorn seems to be her husband. As for that woman in his arms… well, I don't think it needs any explaining. You know what the entertainment industry is like."The people around them were taking photos.…S
Zoe knew that if this matter were reported on the news, her competitors would dig up dirt on her tomorrow and make her unable to remain in the entertainment industry.She could not stay here. She wanted to leave as soon as possible."You want to leave? Have you apologized?" Dan reached out to grab Zoe's shoulder, looking menacing.However, just as his hand was about to land on Zoe's shoulder, a large hand suddenly grabbed his wrist."Bro, is it appropriate for a man to hit his wife for his mistress?" a man in his thirties said to Dan."My, my, my. Who is this, Zoe? Your new lover?" Dan glanced at the man and Zoe amorously."Don't slander me!" Zoe's face turned red."Isn't he? Why's he standing up for you, then? Is he your new sugar daddy? Anyway, everyone knows you celebrities are dirty as hell," Dan spat.He had forgotten that his father was the one who'd helped Zoe shoot to fame. He spoke without thinking.The man in his thirties smacked Dan on the head. Dan immediately had
Zoe was a little anemic because she had been bending over for too long. She quickly got up, her face red as the blood rushed to it."Here you go, miss." Jacob handed the glasses to Zoe."Thank you." Zoe lowered her eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly.From Jacob's point of view, she was indeed very beautiful. Some celebrities were very beautiful in private. Perhaps they looked ordinary on television but were beautiful in reality. People like Zoe, who were photogenic, were even more beautiful in real life.As he looked at her rosy face and large eyes, he couldn't help thinking that it was no wonder Joshua was so hung up on her. She did have the looks for it. Joshua seemed to have become a zombie after she'd gotten married."Come to the hospital with me!" Dan held a hand to his head and grabbed the man in his thirties, refusing to let go.He knew he'd humiliated himself here and wanted to find an excuse to leave the bar naturally. So, he dragged the man to the hospital. At the s
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
