"But only after I came to Blaine family today that I realized certain prejudice is embedded deep down the bones, and it would always stay the same." After a pause, suddenly, she picked up the glass on the table with a solemnly faced, and said to Buckley, "In that case, I don't need to try anymore. Mr. Blaine, thank you for what you said to my father. I believe that he will be comforted by what you have said in the netherworld. As for the rest, let's leave it to fate. There is no need to force it." With that, she gulped the glass of wine. When Buckley saw that, his brows furrowed deeply. However, in the end, he still let out a sigh. Also picking up the glass of wine in front of him, he drank it in one gulp. Then he sighed again. "I know, you are a good girl. Charlotte is..." Suddenly, something came into his mind, and a complicated look flashed across his eyes, then he shook his head. "Forget it. Let's not talk about it. Please continue t
As soon as he said that, Evelyn's face turned red. Stuttered, she looked around, and it was obvious that she was in a panic. Then, Marty continued. "Say it, and I'll accept your appreciation." Marty's tempting tone made Evelyn's heart pound really fast. Feeling a little embarrassed, she replied. "How can you yell it out just like that? It's so awkward..." Unexpectedly, before she could finish his words, Marty shouted. "Wifey." Upon hearing that, Evelyn was speechless. Helplessly, Marty looked at her. "Look, I can call you that, but you don't want to. Is it because you don't love me anymore? Tell me, did you fall in love with someone else?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to tickle her. For God's sake, Evelyn's biggest fear was being tickled. As soon as Marty started to attack, she immediately began to giggle. While laughing, she struggled in his arms to break free and run away, but he held her so tightly that she
The whole family couldn't be happier. A while ago, there was news from overseas that the murderer who killed Mark had been found. He was a member of the Icarus Association. Since the person had been found, it would not be difficult to handle the situation. Although it involved the interests disputes between the Lost Vanguard and the Icarus Association, as long as they held the principle of not wanting to pass on the hatred, and took a step back, things would be easier to be dealt with. And in the process of handling this matter, Harrison, who was the head of the Sapphire family, helped a lot. Therefore, the relationship between Clarissa and him had also been eased. They were no longer giving each other a cold shoulder and began to interact with each other. In fact, Anderson was happy with how it turned out. After all, Clarissa didn't have many relatives. Sometimes, it was important to have familial support. It was just like h
Standing there, Lauren was pursing her lips. After a few seconds of silence, she finally said, "Dad, I haven't been back for two years. How are you?" With a glance at her, Dexter said impassively, "Whether I'm fine or not, you can see it with your eyes. There's no need for you to ask me." Hearing that, Lauren was speechless. For some reason, she had no idea where did he develop such a resentment way of speaking. Initially, she had mentally prepared herself for a long time before she dared to have a deep conversation with her father. But after being teased by Dexter, the warm atmosphere was gone at once. With a helpless sigh, she felt a headache. After some thought, she simply sat down on a chair next to him. It was obvious that approaching her father in a soft way would not work, but she couldn't give up, so she decided to communicate with her father in the old way. With this thought in mind, Lauren looked like she was about
"In that case, it's up to you! You've grown up, and it's time for you to make your own decision in life." "I only hope that you will remember that no matter what happens in the future, you still have a home here. Your father and brother will always be your backbone. Do you understand?" As soon as Lauren heard those words, her tears rolled down silently. Then, she buried her face in her father's embrace and nodded while crying. "I understand." Only then did Dexter felt comforted and gently patted her on the shoulder, as if he was coaxing a child. With a soft voice, he said to her, "Just cry it out. You will feel much better if you cry it out." The two of them stayed in the room and chatted for a long time. More than half an hour had passed when they finished the conversation. When she went downstairs, Lauren's eyes were a little red, but it was obvious that she was in a much better mood than before. Meanwhile, Jameson had been
It had never occurred to Evelyn that her mother would say such a thing. Moreover, she didn't expect that was her true thoughts. A plethora of feelings overwhelmed her for a moment as she felt both complicated and touched. Her father died early, so over the years, her mother had brought her up alone. She cared for her and protected her. Even in such a harsh condition, she made sure she was not hurt. Therefore, she was grateful to her mother. But behind the gratification, she always had a faint feeling that she seemed to have kidnapped her mother's life. After all, if it weren't for her existence, her mother wouldn't have been forced to marry Forbos in the first place. Later on, her mother actually had many chances to leave Forbos. She could have escaped to a place that no one knew about so that Forbos could not find her, and she didn't have to suffer living in such a bitter life. But it was all because of her. After all, she was still a c
"If you dare to say a word!" Knowing that his little woman was shy, he was afraid that she would get angry if he continued to tease her. Only then did he quickly withdrew his painful expression, as he held her shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, okay. I am just teasing you. We can talk about having a baby later. As long as Mom is not in a hurry, we are not in a hurry too." It was obvious that he had pass the buck to Iris. Seeing this, Iris said with a smile, "That's your own business. I won't be interrupting. But Evelyn, you are not young anymore. If you want it, you'd better have it as soon as possible. Of course, the final decision is in your hands. I just want to let you in on my experience." With a flushed face, Evelyn was in an awkward predicament. In the end, she murmured perfunctorily. After the decision was made in the evening, Iris booked a ticket to the south the next day. As Evelyn didn't have time to send her back, she c
Those rich women would never enter the kitchen, let alone cook. Anyway, they were used to it. After all, the kitchen was like their second home, and they were to make whatever the bosses wanted. However, they did not expect that over here at Evelyn's house, she actually said she wanted to cook in person. Seeing that she picked up the menu, Sina realized Evelyn was being serious. Immediately, she asked in a panic, "Ma'am, if you want to eat Catfish Stew, we can replace this dish with that. You don't need you to cook it personally." "If you have any opinions on the taste, just say it directly. We will do our best to make it, so you really don't need to do it personally." Looking at them, Evelyn smiled. "You've misunderstood me. I don't have any opinions on your cooking skills. I just..." With a pause, she seemed to think of something, and the smile on her face turned gentler. "I just want to try it on the spur of the moment. You don
