In fact, for over 20 years abroad, he had indeed made it. In the past few years, no matter what happened, he would always be calm and composed. He would accompany her, take care of her, and protect her. He was someone she could always rely on. However, he was still a human after all. For the countless challenges encountered, his emotions were not affected at all, however, if it involved what he cared the most about. His aggression that had been restrained would explode in an instant. Taking a deep breath, he tried to soften his voice and said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have lost my temper at you. Sue, let me send you back to your room to get some rest." With a nod, Sue didn't say anything further. She allowed him to support her as they walked toward the hotel. When they reached the hotel's lobby, Sue withdrew her hand and said to him softly, "It's alright. I'll go up myself. Clint, you've had a long day. You can go a
As she spoke, she raised her head to look at him all of a sudden and asked, "Your mother's name is Charlotte, isn't it?" Although Marty had mentally prepared himself, when his mother's name was called, he felt slightly awkward. But, he did not reveal any emotion, as he nodded calmly. "Yes, do you know her?" This time, the smile on Sue's face was much warmer. "Yes, I know her." How could they not know each other? Charlotte was the person she had been looking up to since she was a child! And Charlotte had treated her like her younger sister too. To Sue, she was like a big sister that she adored since she was young. It was a pity that fate made fools of them. Sue was the one who had let her down. Until today, she was too ashamed to see her! As she thought of that, her gaze darkened. At this moment, 'ding' was heard in the elevator. As the sound penetrated the silent atmosphere, it had undoubtedly saved their awkwardness.
At last, she came out with a broad suggestion. "How about this? The one who loses will have to agree with one request of the winner. No matter what it is, you can't refuse." When he heard these words, Marty's eyes lit up . Slightly narrowing his eyes, he gave a malicious smile. "Really?" In the meantime, Evelyn seemed to not realize that she had dug a hole for herself. With a strong sense of righteousness, she even added. "Of course, a word spoken is past calling. Whoever cheats is a coward!" Immediately, Marty smiled happily and said, "Okay, since you want to make a bet, I'll play along with you." Hence, the two of them reassumed their stances once again and prepared to take a strike with their last two chances. Suddenly, Evelyn thought of a problem and said, "Wait a minute. What if we both get the same scores?" Then, Marty said, "It doesn't matter. We'll compete for another round. The one who misses the hole loses." After t
Evelyn glared at him with resentment. "How dare you!" Marty smiled and touched the corner of her mouth, saying, "Sorry, I couldn't hold back my excitement. I'll take you to see a doctor later." When she heard she needed to see the doctor, Evelyn couldn't help blushing again. She gnashed her teeth and exclaimed, "Shut up! I won't go. You can go on your own." Her look of anger did not seem to be angry at all. Instead, she looked a little coy. Marty felt that the temptation that he had suppressed so hard had reappeared. In order not to do anything out of line again, Marty quickly changed the subject. "We'll go back this afternoon. Is there somewhere else you'd like to go? I will accompany you." Evelyn thought for a while. In fact, it was rare for her to have a day off. So she just decided to stay in her room and sleep. Furthermore, she was still sore all over her body as a result of what Marty had done to her the night before. As
Clarissa took out her phone and looked at it. She couldn't help frowning. Evelyn asked, "What's wrong?" "Nothing. I'll take a call. You can go ahead and try it on first," Clarissa replied. Then, Evelyn nodded and watched her walk out of the store to answer the phone. Afterward, she went into the fitting room. Clarissa went outside to pick up the phone. Jara's voice came from the other side. "Maxi, I have something to ask you for help. Are you free to talk now?" Right after, Clarissa frowned and expressed her displeasure, saying, "Jara, I thought we had stopped contacting each other a long time ago. I don't think you should call me right now to ask for help." Upon hearing this, Jara did not get upset; instead, he chuckled. "Come on, don't say no so soon. Listen to what I have to say first. Since I have come to you, you can rest assured that it's not something that only benefits me." When Clarissa heard that, she went quiet.
Evelyn would never have imagined that the relationship between Charlotte and Sue was like this. Clint did not sit with them, and it was most likely because he did not think it was fitting. Besides, he did not have a common topic to talk about with them. So, he ordered a cup of cold drinks for himself and sat aside. At first, Evelyn thought it was strange. However, when she saw how Sue did not say anything else, she felt it was inconvenient for her to question further. "Does Mrs. Blaine know about your return this time?" she asked, a small frown on her face. Sue stared blankly for a moment as though she had not expected the question. She also did not appear to have considered this question. After a moment of silence, she said, "Probably not." If Charlotte knew, she would undoubtedly hate Sue. After all, Sue had once promised Charlotte to leave this place, leave that guy, and never return. Yet, she broke her promise. She did not
Only then did Sue nod. She raised her head, looked at Evelyn with some regret, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Miss Hussain. I am not feeling well and need to rest." Evelyn said with a smile, "It's fine. I'm going back anyway." After a pause, she then went on to say, "What is the matter with your health? My mom was also sick before, so I took her to Flaucford for treatment. That's why I know many good doctors. If there is any need, I can introduce them to you." Sue gave a gentle smile and shook her head. "No, it's fine. It has been a long time and is incurable." As she spoke, she turned to look at Clint. "Let's go, Clint." Clint nodded, helped her to her feet, and then walked out. Evelyn watched them as they left for a long time before getting up and leaving. However, not long after she left, an incident occurred. In the parking lot downstairs of the mall, Sue and Charlotte ran into each other. At that time, Clint went to g
That night, Buckley was acutely conscious that something was wrong with Charlotte's mood when he returned home. Her face was gloomy as if something serious had happened. Since his two sons had moved out, only he could enrage her. Only he could provoke her if she was angered. After all, Charlotte wouldn't be so irritated by the servants even if they made any mistakes. She was quite tolerant in this aspect. Besides, if the servants made any mistakes, Charlotte would just say a few words. At worst, she would punish them. She would never keep a sullen face because of this. Buckley could not help but sigh as he thought about it. When he changed his shoes at the door, he had already recalled everything he had done today. However, after a while, he could not come up with anything. He went to work this morning and spent the rest of the day there. Besides, he did not even call or meet her. By right, there should be no chance to irritate her.
