Isabel and Liam raised their little heads to look at her.

Isabel asked, "Mommy, did you catch a cold?"

Sylvia smiled at them. "I'm fine. It was probably just the wind."

She had no symptoms of discomfort, and her voice was normal. It was not a cold.

Maybe someone was badmouthing her behind her back.

At that moment, a slender figure came from outside the forest.

Isabel was the first to see him. Her large eyes lit up, and she called out, "Uncle Thomas!"

Thomas smiled and walked over to them.

The girl immediately ran up to him.

He reached out to pick her up, and his soft eyes looked at Sylvia.

Sylvia smiled at him. "What brings you here, Thomas?"

It was not that she did not want him to come over. Besides, this place was his territory, so he could come and go whenever he wanted. She was just curious why he did not go back to his usual place in the city but came all the way back here instead.

Thomas was silent for two seconds before saying, "I may have to stay here in the future.

    The very next second, his dark brows knitted, and an annoyed look emerged on his face."Get lost."His voice was so cold that it was frightening.Tara's gaze trembled as her eyes immediately began to tear up.She took a small step back to the side and asked in a small voice, "What's wrong, Odell? Is something troubling you?"Odell ignored her. Without even looking at her, he walked directly past her.Tara's eyes widened as she looked at him in panic and reluctance.Seeing that he was about to walk away, she chased after him and grabbed hold of one of his arms. In a sobbing voice, she said, "Odell, please don't be like this. You can tell me if you're unhappy. Being angry isn't good for your health. I don't want you to be unhappy."Odell stopped in his tracks and looked at her with his deep and dark eyes. "Go back to your own place and don't appear in front of my eyes again."His voice was grim and it was obvious that he was restraining his emotions.However, Tara did not notic

    It was at the level of a world-class painter, which was the level she was at.Sylvia asked again, "Do you like it?"Thomas looked at her. "Yes.""Then it's yours. However, the painting still needs to dry. I'll send it to you when it's dry." She moved the painting board to the vent to the side.His eyes flickered. "Thank you."Sylvia hurriedly said, "Don't thank me. I owe you much more than this painting."He did not say anything.She knew that he was someone who did not like to talk much, so she did not mind.After putting the painting away, she walked up to him and said, "Come on, let's go out."Thomas suddenly raised his hand, placed his warm fingertips on her forehead, and gently rubbed it twice.Sylvia froze.After rubbing, he said in a soft voice, "There was paint on your forehead."She laughed dryly. "I could've wiped it myself. You didn't have to do it for me."It was a little ambiguous.However, Thomas’ lips curved into a gentle yet seductive smile. "I wanted to w

    A week went by in the blink of an eye.During that week, Sylvia was able to see her two little ones every day the moment she opened her eyes. The landscape of the villa was extremely beautiful, every angle was like an artwork of its own. While accompanying the children, she also had the inspiration to paint.Although Thomas lived here as well, he only occasionally appeared in the morning or evening. Even though he did not conceal his feelings for her, it was obvious that he also did not try to make things uncomfortable for her.Thus, Sylvia lived here in comfort and ease.That particular day, perhaps because Isabel was tired of eating Sylvia and Aunt Tonya's cooking every day, the little girl suddenly cried out that she wanted to have a barbecue meal.The kitchen had been stocked up with all sorts of fresh ingredients, so there was no shortage of meat and other groceries.Sylvia thus decided to have an outdoor barbecue at the artificial lake behind the villa.At noon, she moved

    As the smell of the charcoal grill began to rise, the sun set halfway down the mountain.The fiery clouds in the sky reflected on the lake, staining it orange and red as well.Sylvia was experienced in cooking barbecue and soon served up a plate of grilled meat.Isabel had been waiting with her mouth open for a long time, so Sylvia immediately took two skewers to her.However, instead of rushing to stuff her own mouth, the little girl ran over to Thomas and Liam. She gave them the two skewers before coming back to ask Sylvia for more.Before they knew it, the plate of skewers was empty.Meanwhile, Sylvia grilled another plate.Isabel held the plate and divided the food among Thomas, Liam, Aunt Tonya, Theodore, and the workers who were in charge of pruning the garden.The atmosphere was very lively.Sylvia could see that Isabel was behaving very well even though she was rather noisy, so she focused on grilling the other ingredients.However, while she was focused on her task,

    Worried about the possibility of further accidents, Aunt Tonya and Theodore moved the barbecue grill and ingredients over to the front yard.Sylvia and the two little ones saw them just as they came out of the living room.When she got a whiff of the fragrant barbecue, Isabel immediately forgot that she had just fallen into the lake playing with the water. She immediately wanted to run over with her little legs so she could eat the meat, but she was pulled back by Liam's hand.She pouted unhappily.Liam frowned.Instantly, the little girl put on an obedient expression and said earnestly, "Liam, I want to eat some meat."Liam hummed in reply. Then, he led her to the table and got her to sit down before allowing her to eat.When she observed this scene, Sylvia did not know whether to laugh or cry.After a while, when Isabel had almost eaten her fill, Thomas came out of the house.He had changed into a loose gray sweater and a pair of trousers. His blow-dried hair casually hung d

    Thomas looked at her and held out a hand. Taking out two pills, Sylvia placed them on the center of the palm of his hand and said, “Put them in your mouth.” He put them into his mouth. She then handed a glass of water to him, “Here, drink this and swallow the pills.” He did as he was told. With that, Sylvia managed to get him to take the medicine that would help with the symptoms of his cold. After it all was done, she told him, “Lie down and get some rest.” Thomas smiled and thanked her, "Thank you." “All I did was get you some medicine, you don’t have to thank me.” She truly meant what she said. Compared to what he had done to help her, what she had done was barely even worth mentioning at all, especially considering that the reason he had gotten sick in the first place was because he had saved Isabel. Thomas did not answer but regarded her with a quiet look. She was used to having him stare at her like this by now. She was not bothered by this

    ”It’s up to me to decide what’s good for me.” Thomas declared with a tinge of hardness in his voice. Sylvia frowned sternly, "She's your mother, you can't just ignore her feelings.” "I'll change her mind and make her give us her blessings.” He insisted adamantly. Sylvia could not help but turn to look at him. The look in his eyes did not contain the usual stillness within them. Instead, they now looked deep and filled with an immeasurable darkness, as if they were bottomless pools. There was a stubbornness in his eyes, mixed with something she could not recognize. It suddenly seemed as if there was no challenge in this world that would be too great for him. It took Sylvia a while before she came back to her senses. She stated solemnly, “Things are not as simple as you think." He immediately answered, “It’s not as complicated as you think it is either. I can handle anything as long as you are willing to let me.” Sylvia fell silent for several seconds, before sh

    Sylvia continued to purse her lips as she stayed silent. Thomas suddenly laughed out loud, the sound of his laughter was soft but full of satisfaction. Immediately after that, he pulled Sylvia into his arms. He did it very gently, as if Sylvia was a precious vase that was extremely fragile. Sylvia was not used to being in such close contact with him and instinctively felt the urge to push him away. However, the moment she touched him she could feel the abnormal heat emanating from his body. He was still feverish. Frowning, she drew her hand back. After allowing him to hold her for a while, she insisted again, “Thomas, it's time for you to rest.” “Alright.” He promptly drew away upon hearing this, then he stroked her head gently and spoke softly, “I’ll go to sleep now. You should head back to your room to rest as well.” "Hmm," Sylvia answered and walked out. As she stepped outside, she turned to close the door and stole a glance at him while doing so. He

    She was her usual self in every aspect. She put her heart into her job and never started trouble so long as nobody tried to start trouble with her. The crew cycled through their locations during their shoot. The constant travel made her skin break out slightly, but there were no other concerns otherwise. The shoot progressed very smoothly and within three months, they managed to wrap up everything at the mountainous region previously mentioned. It was nearly evening when they wrapped up the shoot. Holding a bouquet in hand, she took a group picture with the crew and celebrated with everyone. After that, she planned to hitch a ride with another crew member and leave for home. To their demise, some men in uniform who claimed to be the road maintenance technicians showed up to break the bad news to them. They mentioned that they had to repair some of the roads urgently and so the way home was temporarily obstructed. The director took his phone and called the city hotline fo

    He remembered his first meeting with Isabel. She was sitting all by herself on the floor, in the middle of nowhere. Her vulnerable expression only made her more endearing. So, he managed to get her to go to his place and installed her in his home. He fell for her and paid careful attention to all her needs. It did not take long before Isabel caught feelings for him as well. The two of them got together in no time. Their days were plain and ordinary, but also very fulfilling, that was until he met Clarice. With the help of his father, his power struggle with Roland had reached a tipping point. It was at that opportune moment when Clarice’s father saw something in Roland and planned to wed his daughter Clarice to him to join up their families, which was a cause for alarm for Decker. He stressed over it for an entire night before approaching Clarice himself the very next day. Clarice quickly caught feelings for him as well. Furthermore, Roland had been foolish enough to reject

    Decker was smiling quite earnestly at Isabel. Isabel threw a deeply suspicious look at him, then she glanced at the stack of documents laid out on top of the table in front of her. “Transferal of Shares.” She was dumbfounded. "I've gone through the contract, it’s safe to sign so go ahead.” Roland picked up a pen and handed it to her. "Roland, I..." "Sign it first, I’ll explain when we get home.” Isabel frowned and tried to protest. "I—" "Don't make me have to beg." Isabel did not know how to respond. Fine. She briefly scanned through the contract. The contract stated Decker’s agreement to transfer the remaining forty percent of his shares in Rockwell Corporation to her. Roland must have talked to the shareholders of Rockwell Corporation about this as well. They all regarded Isabel with polite smiles. Isabel had flipped through the final page of the document. She signed her name on one of the marked-out sections. She proceeded to sign all thr

    They ended the call shortly after that. Isabel glanced at Martha and was hesitating if she should break the news right away. Martha seemed to have sensed her staring and suddenly turned to her with a flash of concern. "Isabel, what's wrong?" Isabel took a deep breath and broke the news. "Auntie, Master Rockwell just passed away." Martha's eyes widened. After a lengthy silence that lasted more than ten seconds, she started to break out in tears. She covered her face with her hands and expressed amid bouts of tears mixed with laughter, “Wonderful! About time! I hope he enjoys life in the underworld. God knows that someone like him will never deserve a spot in heaven!” Isabel did not know whether she should celebrate with Martha or console her. Soon, Martha began to collect herself. She briefly wiped away her tears and joyfully took Isabel's hand. "Isabel, let’s go shopping! I’m in such a good mood today, I’m going to go on a shopping spree!” "Okay. But Roland w

    Isabel held onto Roland's hand firmly during the entire drive home after leaving the hospital. It was because Roland’s hands were cold and rigid. Isabel sat with him and tirelessly rubbed his hand to keep them warm. After one hand was warm, she would shift her attention to the other. By the time she managed to warm the other hand, the original hand would turn cold again. She decided it was easier to take both of his hands and caress them with the warmth of her palms. Roland looked at her with a gentle glow deep within his eyes. “Thank you, Isabel,” he said softly. Thank you for loving him, and for sticking by his side all this time despite circumstances. Isabel smiled. “I’m just warming your hands, it's no big deal. Still, you’re welcome." Roland smiled faintly and left it at that. Soon, his hands began to warm up off of the heat of Isabel’s palms. When Isabel felt that his hands were no longer freezing, she prepared to pull her hand away. That was when

    Decker looked nothing like his usual self. The pompous, arrogant man who held himself far above others and who expected everyone around him to kiss up to him because he was superior to them all. It was as if he had been plunged not only to Earth but a pile of swamp. He had completely lost his usual grace. Isabel said crossly, "Decker, have you gone mental? Is everything going on too much for you?” “Yeah, could you help me?” he said with a coy smile, “Just one hug should be enough to take care of it all.” Isabel rolled her eyes. Without warning, he suddenly braced himself and lunged right at Isabel, stepping past Brandon who was caught off guard by this sudden attack. Isabel barely had time to react. Just when it seemed like his hand was about to graze Isabel, a long pair of arms seized Isabel from behind and jerked her backward. It was swiftly followed by a long, muscular leg shooting outward right next to Isabel. Thump! Decker was kicked to the ground.

    "How did you and Roland meet?" Decker suddenly asked. Isabel turned away, fully intent on ignoring him. "Did you meet each other at Carter Corporation? Or did you meet him outside of work and gradually fell in love with him, then you decided to set him up with a position at Carter Corporation?” What did he mean by that? Was he insinuating that Roland was relying on her to snake his way into Carter Corporation? She threw a sideways, belittling look at him. "Do you think Roland is anything like you? He wouldn’t latch on another woman to further his goals.” Decker was not upset by this as he continued with a smug smile. "Oh? Then how did he get into Carter Corporation?" “He proved his worth.” Isabel realized that she had been roped in by Decker again. Nevertheless, she continued, “He passed the interviews himself. I was one of the interviewers and initially planned to dismiss him, but he managed to leave a very good impression on my father and the rest was history.” "

    "I never meant to kill him! Roland, you have to believe me. Why would I still try to deceive you when I’m in this state?” “In that case, you can go ahead and explain things to him in the afterlife.” Master Rockwell was taken aback by this, his demeanor tightened. "You...you..." Roland looked at him calmly. "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. It was Grandma and my parents who raised me. They instilled morals and virtue into me and made sure I’d grow into a decent man.” Master Rockwell was briefly relieved to hear this, but before he could rid himself of his trepidation, Roland continued in a dark voice, "But I won’t forget about you and Decker bribing all those media outlets to defame Isabel. I know you manipulated the stock prices to try to kick me out of the corporation. I’ll make sure to settle our score through the legal system.” If convicted guilty, they would have to rot in prison. “Roland… listen to me, Roland. Decker is your uncle. If you want revenge, you can come

    Master Rockwell must have heard their shifting movements and opened his eyes. When he recognized the faces of Roland and Isabel, there was a brief glow in his murky eyes. He motioned to the nurse to have her help him sit up from the bed. After he managed to position himself seated up against the head of the bed, he asked the nurse to leave. Then he cast a loving, tender smile on Roland and Isabel. “Roland, Isabel, please have a seat.” Roland said disinterestedly, "We have things to get to, just hurry up and tell us what you have to say." Isabel stayed silent. A look flashed in Master Rockwell's eyes. Then, he turned to Isabel and expressed regretfully, "Isabel, I’m a foolish old man, it was me who told Decker to leak pictures of you two. He had no choice because I forced him to do so. If you have to blame someone, blame me!” Isabel frowned. She was somewhat impressed by how smoothly the old man switched his mask from one to another. From a forlorn and sad state t
