The Jones family had about a hundred years of history in Sea City. They were a family with a rich heritage. After they got involved in the business industry a few decades ago, they became highly successful. Soon, they became one of the four biggest families in Sea City.Mr. Jones was ruthless, and he had a son as well as a daughter. His son was Dillon, while his daughter was Zhenny. She was Mdm. Jones, who had a conflict with Adina due to the position of Elitos chief designer for chip development. Zhenny had a daughter called Jasmine Yackley, who happened to be the girl who kept going after Flint.Adina smiled faintly.What a coincidence! She actually had conflicts with both Zhenny and Jasmine.She swiped over the information about Zhenny and Jasmine before she read about Dillon. He was fifty years old but only had one son. His wife had passed away about two decades ago, and he had remained single until now.The Internet’s review of him was quite good, but his skills were worrying
When Duke looked at the empty ward in the hospital, he felt quite gloomy.He was severely injured, and the woman who had just become his fiancee disappeared for the whole afternoon.He held his phone with hesitance for a while, struggling repeatedly before finally making a call.His call was answered after two beeps.Both parties did not speak, but Duke could hear the children’s laughter from the other end of the line.He, the father, was bedridden and unable to move, while the brats were laughing happily.Duke pursed his gorgeous lips and nonchalantly said, “I’m hungry.”Adina was speechless.Hungry?Were there no bodyguards and caretakers in the hospital? He was a CEO. As long as he instructed it, food would be delivered in a minute. He was not asking her to cook and deliver food to him, was he?She paused for a while and said, “I’ll make some food and deliver it to you after I bring the children back to the Winters family villa later.”After that, she seemed to recall som
As George spoke, the children walked toward the restroom in an orderly manner.The moment they got in, George locked the restroom door.Five minutes later, the four children returned to the dining table. Mdm. Xavier could not help but pamper these good-looking and smart kids. She kept adding food to their plates.When the sky turned dark, dinner finally came to an end.Just as Adina placed her children into the car, George said, “Mommy, after you send us home, you can go and visit Dad in the hospital.”Melody kept nodding. “Yeah, Mommy. I can take good care of myself.”Harold pouted. “Mommy, you can go to the hospital and accompany Dad.”Alden remained silent for a few seconds before he said, “Mommy, if it’s too late after you’re done accompanying Dad, you don’t have to rush back. I’ll take good care of Mel.”Adina found herself speechless.Did these kids come to an agreement behind her?She was very curious about how George convinced Alden.Alden pursed his lips. “Mommy, Da
Adina felt defeated too.She sat by the bed before she lifted the lid of the porridge. She spooned up some, put it to the man’s lips, and calmly said, “Open your mouth.”Duke opened his mouth obediently.The bland porridge swirled around on his lips and tongue before he swallowed it.It was the most delicious porridge that he had ever eaten.He smiled faintly and slowly said, “I want more.”“Do you know what you look like now?” Adina looked at him with a faint smile and asked in a meaningful way.Duke did not understand. “What do I look like?”Adina wanted to say “a stray dog,” but she held back.“You look like Harold,” she said helplessly.“You’re wrong. He should be the one who looks like me.” Duke did not feel embarrassed at all. “He’s my son. If he doesn’t look like me, who else could he look like?”Okay.Adina could not argue back.As though she had surrendered to fate, she kept feeding Duke again and again.That went on until someone else suddenly pushed open the wa
“Since you already have four kids, shouldn’t you get married?” Trent casually asked. “Let me make this clear. I want to be your best man!”Duke pursed his lips. “She doesn’t want to get married so soon. I respect her opinion.”“Mr. Winters, when did you learn to respect other people’s opinions?” Trent rolled his eyes. “I think you haven’t controlled that woman! But it’s not your fault. She’s gorgeous and good at martial arts. Not many men in the world can handle her! I guess it’s probably because of the kids that she agreed to marry you…” Trent kept nagging him. When Duke cast a cold and piercing gaze over, Trent scoffed and softly said, “I’m just stating the facts, okay? If I had four kids with her, she would agree to marry me too. Okay, I’ll stop talking now. Hey, why are you still hitting me when you’re injured? Eilam, let’s get out of here!”Trent crawled and rolled to escape.The ward was finally quiet.But Duke’s expression was dour.Even though he could not accept it, he
The temperature in the ward instantly increased.She was not an innocent girl who had not experienced anything. Although she did not quite understand most things of a sexual nature, she still had some knowledge… She knew that things would really get out of control if she let Duke continue kissing her.“Stop… Stop kissing me…” Adina raised her arms and lightly moved the man’s chest away.Duke held the back of her head and rested his forehead against hers. His voice was hoarse and low. “I still want to kiss you. What should I do?”Adina’s face turned red, and her heart pounded quickly again.She bit her swollen bottom lip. She felt shy and irritated as she said, “The ward door isn’t closed.”“I’ll go and close it now.”As Duke spoke, he tried to jump off the bed.Adina was speechless.Did he mean that?She quickly pressed him down. “You haven’t recovered. Don’t walk around. Just lie down.”When Duke raised his head, he saw her glowing eyes and slightly swollen red lips. He
When she got closer, she realized that Flint looked different today.His eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like he did not sleep last night. He was a playboy who cared about his reputation the most. Yet, his suit was wrinkled, and his beard was sloppy. He was holding a cigarette with his fingers. He looked through the corridor before he stared at Adina gloomily.“What’s wrong with you?” Adina frowned. “What happened this time?”Every time Flint came to her in Sea City, something would be wrong. She was used to it.“I heard that you’re getting engaged?”When Flint spoke, his voice was incredibly hoarse as if his vocal cords were ruined.Adina was surprised.She finally understood why Flint looked like that.Some things had been said many times before, but clearly, Flint had not been really listening.She pursed her lips and said, “I’m getting married to Duke. We’ll be engaged on the sixth of next month, and the wedding won’t be too long after the engagement. If you have the ti
Flint’s gaze became profound and cold.He stared at Jasmine with a sneer and said, “So, do you think you have a chance to be with me?”“It doesn’t matter if I have the chance or not. You shouldn’t be with a woman like Adina again!” Jasmine gritted her teeth and said, “She has two kids, and they’re illegitimate children with an unknown father. You’re the young master of the Morton family. You should—” “Shut up!”Flint stopped her from finishing her sentence.His eyes were filled with coldness. “I asked Adina for help to reject you because I wanted to defend your dignity. Who the heck are you to criticize Adina?”After he said that, he glanced at Jasmine with contempt. Then, he turned around and left.Jasmine was so angry that she trembled.She and Flint had been in a relationship a few years ago. But after she fell in love with him, Flint broke up with her.She never forgot him all these years.After she finally met him again, she put aside the reservation and restraint that
