‘Mel wouldn’t joke about this.’‘Daddy has hired a hypnotherapist for Mommy. She has forgotten what happened four years ago. So far, there are no side effects from the biochip either.’ Melody said softly, “So, we shouldn’t appear in front of her so frequently. Or else, she might regain her memories.”Harold frowned.‘The side effect from the biochip has subsided, but she tried to slap me earlier…’However, when George spoke, it interrupted his thoughts.“Mel, what did Daddy actually say?” George pursed his lips. “I’ll go ask him personally.”Melody grabbed his arms. “George, don’t. I think he’s in a bad mood now…”‘Mommy was right in front of him, but he couldn’t get reacquainted with her as his wife. Daddy must be sadder than any of us…’Alden narrowed his eyes. He signaled the bodyguard behind him. “Go and find out who is the woman’s older sibling, and what project are they working on?”The bodyguard instantly turned around and carried out the order.In less than ten minute
Ruth took the gift box. Her hands trembled as she opened it. It was a sparkling gown. It was a new gown that was just released by a luxury brand this month. She never thought that it would appear in her hands.“This… This is for me?”Ruth raised his head. Her voice quivered slightly. Daniel nodded, “If you don’t like it, I’ll get another one for you.”‘I just don’t understand why Harold would want to please a woman like her.‘I’ve never heard of anyone from the Willis family. Could she be related to the Winters family?‘If that’s the case, why didn’t he give it to her himself?’“Of course, I love it.” Ruth’s eyes lit up as she looked at the man in front of him. “Why are you giving me the gown?”“No, I’m not the one…”‘Harold told me not to bring up the Winters family.’Daniel paused and changed his mind, “You just got here, and you’ve already stained your gown. I happened to have an extra gown with me.”“Thank you…”Ruth finally calmed down. Her eyes lit up and she s
‘The Heart of the Ocean cost about a hundred million dollars.‘Logically, this bracelet and necklace shouldn’t be owned by the same person.‘Is it just an imitation?’Daniel kept his guesses to himself and showed a warm smile, “These earrings and bracelets will go well with your gown. Take a look. Do you like it?”He handed over the two jewelry boxes in his hand.Ruth held her breath again. ‘He gave me a gown, and now he’s giving me jewelry too?‘Did he fall in love with me at first sight?’She opened the box and her eyes were blinded by the sparkling jewelry. She gulped and said in disbelief, “This pair of earrings look very expensive. It must’ve cost at least one million dollars.”Daniel remained silent. ‘With one million, I can only get a small diamond on the earring.’He said calmly, “Around there.”“That’s way too expensive!” Ruth quickly gave the box back. “Mr. Jones, this gown has cost you a lot of money. I can’t take anything from you anymore.”‘I might be vain
Ruth entered the apartment. She wore a star-studded dress, diamond earrings on her ears, the Heart of the Ocean around her neck, and a bracelet with vivid colors on her wrist, making her look radiant. Her eyes were alight with excitement. Her face flushed. She pursed her lips and smiled coquettishly from time to time, like a teenage girl.She then noticed there were people in the living room. She hurriedly wiped off the smile on her face and coughed. “Brady, Deena, what are you guys looking at?”Adeena frowned, “What are you wearing? Where have you been?”“No… Nowhere!”She lowered her head guiltily. All because she had swiped Adeena’s invitation, she had been able to sneak into the banquet hall and meet a perfect man.“Ruth, why do you look like that? Where did you go?” Brady had a headache. “What am I supposed to tell Aunt Jada?”“I didn’t do anything. There’s nothing to tell her.” Ruth snorted, “Well, you are drunk. If Aunt Hailey were to know this, she’ll definitely sco
‘Why does this lady look so familiar…?‘Let me think… She looks like… like…’She racked her brains, but could not think of anyone in particular. At this time, Jack came over and said politely, “Ms. Willis, you’re early.”“We can get things done earlier if I come earlier.” Adeena approached him. When she reached in front of him, Jack took a couple of steps back politely. The receptionist was stunned. He had worked with Mr. Winters for so long that the employees see him as Mr. Winters, too.The chairmen from other companies respected Jack as well. But right now, he was acting so politely in front of a woman. This was truly shocking to see. Jack led Adeena directly to the top floor and into the lounge, “Ms. Willis, please have a seat. I’ll go get Mr. Winters.”Adeena frowned. “Mr. Wilson, I’m here to discuss the partnership with you. We don’t need to trouble Mr. Winters.”“He’s currently free. It won’t trouble him.”Jack smiled and left. He let out a sigh of relief when
Adeena sat in the living room and took a sip of the coffee. It was just as she liked it. She sat near the coffee table, and was just in time to enjoy Sea City’s sunrise. The golden sun shone over the city, and the glass windows of high-rise buildings reflected the sunlight, making it look resplendent.The lounge door clicked and was gently opened. She put down the cup of coffee in her hand and stood up. She then said with a smile, “Good morning, Mr. Winters.”Duke looked at her in silence. She was seated by the window, and the bright morning sun shone on her face, revealing the peach fuzz on it.Her loose strands were hanging loosely by her ear and two strands of her hair were sticking by the side of her lips. He wanted to raise his hand and brush it off, but he was afraid that it would startle her.“Good morning, Ms. Willis.” He sat on the couch. “Let’s discuss our project.”Adeena let out a sigh of relief. ‘His gaze was so deep as he looked at me earlier.‘I was a lit
“Mr. Winters!” Adeena leaned back once again. “Please don’t make such a joke.”“It’s not a joke.” Duke looked at her seriously. “Ms. Willis… or should I call you Adee. I hope you don’t mind, Addy.”Adeena wanted to tell him that she minded it, very much. But when her eyes met his, she could not bring herself to say it out loud. She suddenly became nervous, and her heart beat rapidly. “Mr— Mr. Winters, I just remembered having something to do. I’ll excuse myself!”She took her handbag and left swiftly. No matter what she tried to make it look like, she was definitely running away from Duke. He touched his chin gently as he smiled a little. ‘Even though Addy lost her memories, her feelings remained. Whenever I lean into her, she’ll be at a loss.‘Oh, Addy. She’s still the same Addy four years ago…’He stood up and went to the reception room. He headed directly to the elevator.Jack rushed over. “Mr. Winters, there’s a transnational meeting that you need to chair in person
Ruth wore an off-shoulder pink dress, looking youthful. She lowered her head slightly. Her cheeks were flushed, obviously a little shy.She followed Daniel into the cafe. She did not dare to look into his eyes when they sat down opposite each other. She lowered her head and took out a gift box. “Mr. Jones, this is a gift from me. I hope you like it.”Daniel was stunned. He had not expected her to bring him gifts. He initially did not want it, but at that moment, he could not bring himself to reject it. ‘I have a few gifts with me, too. If I were to reject her gifts, she might reject mine, too. I’ll be in trouble later on.’“Thank you, Ms. Willis.”He took the gift and put it on the table. Ruth blinked and said, “Don’t you want to see what’s in it?”Daniel suddenly felt a rush when he saw those eyes. He coughed and shifted his gaze to the gift box. It was a black tie, embellished with diamond-shaped plaids. The design looked fashionable and unique.“I like it,” he said
