“Tsk.” Alden flicked on her bare forehead. “If you still talk nonsense, I’ll lock you up with Hal.”Ninian was speechless.She immediately stopped talking. She just covered her forehead and winced her teeth.“Al, it’s been a long time.” Melody gently looked at Alden, and her indifferent eyes were filled with joy and tears.Among the siblings, she was the closest to Alden. They also grew up since they were small, and they rarely separated.Unfortunately, after they grew up, they had different careers and lived in different places. The two of them were actually the ones who parted for the longest time.Melody’s eyes were slightly red. She used to be autistic for a period when she was small, and she also did not like to talk. Her character was cold and indifferent, and she was not good at expressing herself.Now, the tears in her eyes could already fully express her agitation.Alden did not talk. Instead, he just walked forward, tussled Melody’s soft hair, and held her in his arms
“Hal, what’s wrong with you?” Ninian walked forward, squatted beside him, and blinked as if she was confused.When Harold saw his youngest sister’s concern, he seemed to be touched.Before he could speak, he heard from Ninian. “You were killing others. Why do you want to die now?”Harold was speechless. What kind of sister was this? She was not considerate at all!“Why didn’t you stop me when you knew that my violin performance was so terrible?” Harold growled. He could not wait to cover his face and roll on the carpet.Alden at the side slowly explained, “When we were on the way back, I let him listen to his performance. He threw up.”Melody and Ninian were speechless. So heartless!This was really awesome!“I’ll never play the violin again! I hate it!” Harold said. “My reputation as Young Master Harold is ruined in the restaurant!”“Not only that,” Alden kindly reminded him. He flashed a smirk and said, “The fact that you played the violin and hurt the violinist at this poin
“Ahem.” Alden held his forehead and said, “I didn’t spy on Georgie. I just saw Raina.”As he spoke, he raised his chin slightly.They looked in the direction where he pointed, and they nearly screamed in shock.Was the slim and beautiful figure Raina, Georgie’s ex-girlfriend and first love whom he was unable to forget?She was wearing a simple but well-cut shirt and pants. She put on light makeup, and her expression was calm and composed. Her appearance looked very decent and sensible.At this time, she was standing in the waiting zone while holding a tablet. After she took a look at the time, she found a seat, sat down, and started working.“Wow, Raina looks really charming when she’s working.” Ninian sighed with emotion.“She’s changed a lot. She looks more mature and rational now,” Melody also looked at her and commented.Three years ago, or even earlier, Raina was nearly as bright and cheerful as the sun. She always hung around George and entered his circle aggressively, wh
Raina kept her tablet away and stood up.Her calm and gentle demeanor, as well as her silent expression, made George’s heart seize, and he felt irritated for some reason.He stopped walking, and his team of assistants was stunned.He raised his hand and loosened his tie, while his handsome and calm face looked colder.“Excuse me, everyone, I’m sorry for disturbing you.” Everyone heard him speak the Gansternian language with a low and husky voice. The man, whose presence was like a god nonchalantly said, “My wife is here to pick me up. Please move away.”Right after he said that, his surroundings fell silent.Then, the sounds of even more shocked people erupted.“Wife? This handsome man is actually married?”“Let’s go. We stand no chance now.’The crowd was then dismissed, and order was finally restored in the airport.His assistant team sighed in relief. Before could figure out what their boss meant by “his wife being there to pick him up,” George walked out of their circle.
Since he wanted to meet her, she would meet him.She was no longer the innocent and passionate Raina anymore. If she did not have the courage to face him now, how could she escape that relationship?When George heard her speaking distantly, he became silent, and sadness crossed his eyes.He quickly hid his emotions and replied indifferently. “I’m hungry.”He was avoiding her request to discuss work immediately.Raina cast a surprised gaze at him as if she did not expect him to calmly say something like that.In the past, even if someone stabbed George until he bled, he would still dress up nicely and hold the proper posture without letting others see through him.He would not show his weakness at all.Raina became slightly absentminded, but she did not reject George’s request. After all, he was their collaborator and the boss. She would not force him to start signing the contract without even buying him a meal.She speedily ticked a few dishes on the menu before she handed it
It was Raina’s first time seeing him lose his cool. After being momentarily startled, she chuckled and said, “What did you say? I dumped you?”She chuckled, and her gaze was extremely desolate. “You’re the CEO of Winters Corporation! How could I, Raina Barlow, have the courage to dump you?” “Raina Barlow!” George increased the strength of his grip and gritted his teeth more.He thought it was because he had been immature and clueless about loving someone, so he hurt her and made her fall for another man.But who would have known that it was fake?She dumped him and even made up an excuse.She simply threw him away like trash.“Mr. Winters, please behave yourself.” Raina felt pain, and her expression became as cold as ice.“Don’t call me Mr. Winters again!” George interrupted her and angrily said in a low voice, “Raina, I don’t blame you for what you did to me in the past, but you have to give me a reason! A reason for dumping me!”Raina was so angry that she trembled. She rai
They could not interfere with this. It was George’s personal matter, and he also did not want his siblings to know that he was hurt in a relationship.Alden gently breathed out, closed his eyes, and said, “I got it.”He would not do anything to Raina or interfere with this.They had to believe George that he could get up from where he fell down.“Actually, I think Raina has her own reasons.” Ninian stuck out her tongue and spoke shyly. Although saying this made it seem like she betrayed their revolutionary kinship with George, she had this feeling for some reason.“Grapie, what are you saying? You’re still too innocent!” Harold clicked his tongue before he sighed and said, “You’re another George.”George was fooled, and so was she.“I actually… agree with Grapie’s thought.” Melody’s gentle tone was filled with doubt. “We saw how well Raina treated George in the past, and it was definitely as simple as competitiveness. When she looked at George, her eyes were full of stars and lo
Knock! Knock!Someone knocked on the room door several times.The room was still silent.George sat in front of the desk without turning the lights on. He silently stared at the colorful streetlights and crowded street outside the French windows.The people outside his room did not seem to be giving up. They knocked on the door once again.Only then did George slowly look back and glance at the door.He had given strict instructions, so his assistant would definitely not dare to knock on the door without an emergency. Since there was another knock, he guessed that something must have happened.He massaged his forehead before he pushed away his dejection and stood up.He straightened his back and raised his chin slightly. He still maintained his image as the mature and calm CEO of Winters Corporation. He did not have too much time to indulge himself in a sad relationship.Countless people were still supporting and waiting on him.He had to be so strong that he was impeccable a
