Michelle felt that Neil probably wouldn’t do anything. This wasn’t the right place and time, and they had just had a fight the night before. He probably wasn’t in the mood.Most importantly, she wasn’t his type. Neil definitely had a thing for hot and wild women, which she definitely wasn’t. Anyway, he had plenty of women to choose from. There was no way he would be so desperate.At this thought, Michelle calmed down.Neil came out of the bathroom after showering. When he saw her standing in a daze, he asked, “What are you still dreaming about?”He dried his hair as he walked toward the bed, and then grabbed a book.Michelle went into the bathroom.Every bedroom in the villa had its own attached bathroom, and was always fully stocked with necessities.Michelle had brought her underwear in with her, and she had her bra on underneath her camisole.After bathing, she felt warm and cozy. The shower gel’s fragrance wafted off her.She got into bed, wearing a camisole and pants.Ne
Neil had repeatedly told himself that he didn’t have feelings for Michelle. She was just a woman who happened to arouse him.When Michelle saw him leaning in to kiss her, she instinctively dodged.Had she…dodged him?Neil had always been the type to want to overpower others. The fact that Michelle had turned her face away from him was an insult to his ego.He held her head so she wouldn’t be able to move, and then kissed her forcefully.She was sweet like candy.Her skin had been cool to the touch, but she was starting to warm up now thanks to his actions. Soon, she was burning.She didn’t seem to have much experience kissing others. At least, she didn’t know how to respond to Neil’s kiss.“Are you a virgin?” He broke the kiss for a short while to give her some room to breathe. His voice was deep and hoarse.“What?” Michelle’s face was crimson. Fortunately, he couldn’t see this in the dark.“Nothing.” After that, he pressed his lips to hers again, and his hands started roamin
Clarissa couldn’t help feeling happy with Neil.“Neil, are you going to work later?” she asked.“Yeah.”“Should we wake Michelle up?”He gave it some thought. “Nah, I think she had to work overtime a couple of days ago. Let her sleep in.”“Okay.” Clarissa was satisfied. He was finally starting to act like a husband should and caring about his wife.“Man, I don’t think it’s because she had to work overtime,” Ned said teasingly.“What else could it be, then?” Neil replied seriously.“I wouldn’t know about that. What was that ruckus last night? I don’t know the answer to that either.” Ned laughed, then continued eating.After breakfast, Neil went to work.Ned would return to Emmeria for his doctorate studies soon, so he was currently unemployed. After breakfast, he went out to play basketball.Clarissa didn’t have any classes on this day and didn’t have anything else to do. She waited for Michelle to wake up.Damien was about to go fishing. When he saw her sitting on the sofa,
Clarissa could tell that something was wrong with Michelle. Had the night before been their first time?Then again, it was better that something had happened at all. Perhaps they would learn to love each other in the future.She glanced at Michelle’s bag and saw it practically bursting at the seams. She guessed that Michelle had probably taken the sheets.Clarissa kept her observations to herself. Neil and Michelle had probably slept together the night before to stop the rest of the family from finding out.After breakfast, Michelle hurried off to work. She put the sheets in the trunk so her colleagues wouldn’t notice them.She passed by a store selling men’s accessories on her way to the company. She dropped in to buy something for Amber’s husband to make up for the cologne. In the end, she got a tie clip that cost around 600 dollars. It probably cost more than the cologne.……Ned was playing basketball with Michael and a few other buddies. These were people both he and Neil ha
Perhaps it was because Neil rarely got the chance to do anything outside of work, so he threw himself into the basketball game and sweated it out.“No wonder Michelle’s so into you, you handsome bastard. You must’ve been practicing behind my back!” Ned said as he dribbled the ball.Neil sniffed himself. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and it wouldn’t be convenient to change at the moment. He would be better off going home in these clothes and throwing them into the washing machine.“I’m gonna go.” After that, Neil went home.He had just stepped into the living room and was about to take his clothes off when Michelle came back.She was surprised to see him from the back. Her heart skipped because she was reminded of Jonah.Neil looked good from behind.Once upon a time, she had been dazzled by this sight.Amidst her shock, Neil turned around to look at her. He knew she had gotten the wrong message when he saw how dazed she was.“Did you take me for someone else?” He sat dow
In truth, Neil had already found out whether Michelle was a virgin the night before. However, he was still surprised to see proof of it with his own eyes.If that was the case, why was she still so hung up on that guy? What was there for her to obsess over? How could they possibly reach each other’s hearts if they hadn’t even slept together? How ridiculous!He initially thought that longing for someone meant being like him—he longed for Ariana’s wild body.It seemed that what Michelle longed for was really Jonah’s basketball prowess.What a joke!After Neil left, Michelle went into the bathroom. The bloodstain on the sheets was the first thing that caught her eye.In the end, she still started washing the sheets.When she was done, she started on Neil’s clothes. His scent wafted toward her.She would use a regular detergent when washing clothes with the washing machine. Since she was washing the sheets and clothes by hand now, she used a more expensive soap with essential oils.
Damien glanced at the cosmetics and skincare.“Well, I was just afraid that President Lawrence Jr. wouldn’t agree to it, so I wanted to play it safe and keep you in the loop,” the client said. “This is our most expensive skincare and cosmetics line, so I’ve prepared a set for Mrs. Lawrence.”Damien brought it home for Clarissa.She liked it very much. The products consisted of expensive and nutritious ingredients such as rose, honey, and others.“Someone gave the whole set to me,” Damien said.Clarissa wasn’t very happy to hear this. “I thought you bought it. I guess I was wrong to think that you cared about your wife.”“So you don’t want it? Maybe I should give it to someone else, then.” He reached out to take the cosmetics.Clarissa’s temper flared up. “Who are you going to give it to?”“Don’t you always say that I have a mistress somewhere? I have to prove you right, don’t I?” he said teasingly.“Tsk.”She had to admit that she still loved the cosmetics, though. They felt
Michelle felt that since Neil was being friendly to her, she would return the favor. It was time to give him the electric shaver.Neil was already home when she got home, and she was happy to see him.After dinner, she went to her room and got the shaver. It was still wrapped up nicely, and she handed it to him.“What’s this?” Neil glanced at her.“Open it, and you’ll see. I bought this for your birthday, but I didn’t give it to you because you pissed me off. Now, I’m returning the favor,” Michelle said.“So you did get me something. Looks like I misunderstood you the other day.”He rubbed his jaw.“Well, we’re living under the same roof, after all. I’m going to bed.” She smiled and went back to her room.All in all, it was a good day.It was Damien’s birthday a few days later, and it happened to fall on a Saturday.Ned asked Neil to come earlier so they could play some basketball.Ned loved basketball, but Neil wasn’t such a fan. He still agreed to it, though.He was weari
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
