“Lucy, come here,” Edmund asked, the moment he entered the mansion.“Brother, you are here,” Lucy stood up from her seat and went to him, “What are you doing, let me see…” He asked as he wiped her face which was covered in different kinds of colors.“I… I was painting something,” She said in a low voice, she knew he was not happy with her since the moment she had mentioned James and showed her desire to see him.“Is that so? What are you painting,” He said and took out his handkerchief when he could not wipe her face with his hands, even his hands got covered in those colors.“I… I wanted to…” She was not sure how to tell him. Lucy wanted to paint Ryan Song for her child, she had no pictures of him but at the very least, she wanted her child to see him through the painting.Edmund said nothing and sneaked to watch what she had painted, “Oh, so… were you trying to paint your baby’s father?” With doubt, he asked.Lucy was stunned by the sudden and direct question, she was not sure how t
A NOTEA few days later, It was finally time for Lucy to see James, she wanted to go there as soon as possible.“What are you doing?” Edmund knocked on her room but was stunned to see that she had Lucy had spread all her clothes on the bed, on the table on the floor, everywhere.Even though Lucy had not had many clothes but Edmund had brought a lot of clothes for her to wear, she did not want to use them much but since she had not a single belonging there, so she had no choice but to use them.“So what do you think I am doing, brother?” Lucy said and turned around.“Well… as long as I can see, I can tell that you are trying to select a piece of clothes to meet James Mu, but I do not understand why?” Edmund was startled when he felt that he sounded annoyed.“I mean, I am not saying that you should wear what you are comfortable with, you see… you are the prettiest person in the world,” Edmund said as he flicked her forehead lightly.“Ouch, brother! You… you are rude to me, you should n
James had run through a lot of red lights, and three police cars had been trailing behind him. He knew, as a soldier, that what he did was extremely unlawful and unprofessional.He accelerated his car, and the 30-minute journey was completed in 10 to 12 minutes.James went out of the car and ran towards the building; he was not in the mood to go to the parking lot and park the car, so he threw the key at the guard and said, "Take care of the car and also." He motioned towards the approaching police car and said, "Also, take care of those people, and I apologize for the trouble," before fleeing without waiting for them to arrive."Young Master Mu," The front desk clerk said and bowed her head to him; he simply nodded and did not bother asking them to notify Ryan of his arrival, as he usually does."What happened? Why is young master Mu in such a hurry?" She said this while dialing John's number."Master Xu, Young Master Mu is here; he... He was in a hurry and... I do not know what he w
Charles was full of excitement when he got to read the letter, he could not believe that the person he had been looking for all this while had appeared in front of them on her own. It was a blessing for them.But what he did not know was that… a blessing could turn into a curse anytime.Charles ran towards his friends and said, “Guys, let’s leave here, James has prepared a big surprise for us, let’s go,” he said and took Cherry’s hands in his.“What? Was this not the last destination for today? Or is he going to take us to the airport where we are about to go anyway,” Ricky and everyone was tensed already, they had never been separated before for this long and now that James was about to leave, it felt like everything was about to shatter.He was being grumpy on the surface but was all excited to see what he had planned for them now.“Leave her, I will take her with me,” Chris saw how Charles was holding Cherry’s hand, he slapped his hand and took his wife back to himself.“What the h
[ Notice:- Guys, I just started a new book name; kindly go and check it out! please support my new work just as you have done with this hope, I will appreciate your love a lot, than you]Lucy was nervous when she was about to leave and see James; she just did not know how to face him or what to tell him. She was not sure if she would be able to convince James of her disappearance or not."Come on, you can do it! "Do not be nervous like this," Edmund patted her back, even though he didn't want her to leave and see him, but he wanted her to be happy in the end. Lucy looked at him and walked away from there; she had to do it! It was not like James was an outsider or a stranger to her, but all she had to do was coax him. He must be sulking over her.She walked to the place she had to meet James, but when she saw him and his eyes fixated on the sky, she just stood there to admire him, saying, "This guy... he is about to go to the military." She said it with a
Edmund wanted to go there and take Lucy back; for some reason, he was ready to be tolerant of James Mu, but he could not take Ryan Song.He would never have allowed Lucy or Cherry to interact with that man if he hadn't been Cherry's brother. “Ok, fine! You see, If young master Song is here, then Cherry must be here too,” Morgan assured and dragged him away from there, “You already said that we cannot let them see us with Lucy, otherwise, it would really be easier for them to track Lucy.” Morgan reminded him, his own words. “Fine, I just do not know how to react; I just do not want her to be with those people anymore,” Edmund stated in anger, he wanted to take her away.“What the hell, Ed! Can you not tell that they were the people with whom our Little Birdie had been all this time?” Morgan knew Edmund was worried about Lucy but he had to understand that for Lucy, Edmund was a new person in her life and it would take a long time for her to build a relationship with him, but those peo
Cassandra was also in the same hotel as Ryan and Lucy; she had escaped jail and gone straight to the location where she had been told they would be, but what surprised her was Lucy's appearance; she had not anticipated her to be there as well!“Very well, Lucy Tang! If this is what you want, then do not blame me for what I am about to do!” A wicked grin appeared on her face as if she was about to do something unforgivable.It all happened because of that Cherry and her first target was her; if it were not for her, Ryan had never have broken their marriage agreement and even call the police to take her. He had provided all the shards of evidence to the police from the start of whatever she had done.The policemen at the station told her that she was being investigated for fraud, human trafficking, being involved in bullying, and a number of other charges.She felt she had been struck by light and her whole life turned upside down; just how could he do this to her? If he wanted to annu
When Lucy received the hit to her hand, Ryan was taken aback because he was himself not thinking straight and had no idea what had just happened.Before Lucy could tumble to the ground, he caught her in his arms.Lucy... Lucy! In horror, he yelled and turned to face the woman in the mask.“Why the hell, no! Who are you?" Ryan experienced fear for the first time in his life and a sense of impending loss of something crucial.As he helped Lucy straighten up from the ground and turned to face the woman in the mask, who was poised to deliver the second blow, he panicked.What the hell are you attempting to do, and who the hell are you?” He exclaimed as he glared at her in anger.“What? Are you asking about my identity? Ryan was fortunate to be prepared to defend himself as the woman threatened to hurt him while waving her rod in front of him.Do you think you would be able to hurt Ryan Song and his people so easily? Ryan asked as he repelled her attack, seized her hand, drew himself up be
