★★★ “What time did they leave?" Ben questioned the lazy girl who was splayed out like a pig on the couch. He was aware that the doctor had advised her to stay in bed for a week, but he thought she should try to walk around the garden for a bit instead of just lying there. “Several hours ago. Listen! Can you take me somewhere, please? Being in this room is choking me dangerously. I am willing to pay for your coffee,” Monica requested as her hazel eyes literally begged Ben to take her out. She yearned to breathe in some fresh air in this beautiful evening. As Ben noticed Monica's desire to leave the house, he paused his gaze on her. He had previously assumed that she enjoyed rolling around on the bed and the couch, but now she appeared to be suddenly looking for the sky to fly. “I do not have a lot of local knowledge. I do not know exactly where to take you," Ben said as he wiped his face and threw the towel on the chair. "I know a place where I used to visit," Monica said, grinning
★★★★“No one! I was looking for you,” Jessica told her son as she smiled at Cornell.“Why then tears in your eyes?” Cornell dismissed her mother's comments and questioned. He could tell that his mother was in pain from the look in her eyes, which revealed a pang she was not expecting to feel; If not, his mother knew how to get ready beforehand.“Tears!? What??" Jessica touched her eyes and noticed tears that she had not felt coming. She wiped them slowly and carefully to avoid smudging her eyes, then said,"I am not sure how my tears managed to ruin my makeup. By the way, do not leave my hands like that. At least, tell me where you are going so I can keep an eye on you." Jessica bowed her head and kissed Cornell on the cheek.“Hmm! I am going to be mindful, mom," Cornell said, restrained himself from pressing his mother for an answer when she was unable to provide one.“Let's go to grandfather,” Jessica said, went to Darren, and joined everyone. Jessica bowed her head so the pho
★★ “What's going on, Rilika? Why is your boyfriend acting as if he does not know who you are?" Rilika's friend inquired, who had been closely monitoring Liam since his arrival, not because she was concerned about Rilika, but because she wanted confirmation they had split up, which would make her path a little easier towards Liam. Her father advised her that there would be many wealthy families in the Lawrence family, and she needed to make sure she captured any of their attention. But ever since Liam entered the party, he had her attention, and she was powerless to stop herself from having dreams about talking to him. She tried to go close the bar a few times, but could not do so, because of the bodyguard next to Liam, who was like a terrifying creature shooting daggers whoever tried to get close to Liam. “I am able to discern the gaze of yours toward him. Bitch, I am capable of murdering people, so stop creating fantasies for yourself. Whatever is going on between us will be resol
★★★“Okay, I have had enough of your bullshit; I can not take it anymore," said Eva as she approached the fence enclosing some herbs. In a fit of rage, Eva reached for the herbs and pulled a few of them from the ground. She had no idea how she would handle the circumstance, and Rilika's disclosure to her meant that she had no control over it.“Do not say that, Mom. I have nowhere to go, and it's impossible to even imagine my life without Liam. Do something,"Rilika pleaded with her mother. Eva was the only person in whom Rilika could place her trust and who might hold out some hope that she could still harbor dreams of becoming Mrs. Grey.“What chance do I have of saving the unsalvageable? A small hint has the power to turn everything around, and the results could be devastating enough to wipe out our entire generation," turning to face Rilika Eva yelled while glaring angrily. For seven years, Rilika had been concealing a truth without thinking that she did not possess enough skil
★★★★ “Is this the place you used to come with your parents?” Ben inquired, taking place next to Monica, who made herself comfortable on a wooden seat. The location was close to a small pond and had little light, but the surrounding area had great weather. The breeze had a soothing scent of a wet soil and the whiff of a wild flowers. “Yes, and then I keep coming here without them,” Monica exhaled a deep breath and a breeze that hit the side of her face, causing some of her hair to blow out of her messy ponytail. Ben sat beside Monica and looked at her with a small care in his eyes before saying, "If it does not bother you, may I ask what happened to them?" “Mom was in the final stages of cancer when my father committed suicide because he was depressed about being left alone by my mother. Mom abandoned me six months after my father died, leaving me on my own for the rest of my life. Then my aunt raised me for fifteen years before I left home in search of myself," Monica expressed the
★★★"It tastes good," praised Cornell as he chewed the small piece of chicken Liam had offered, but they had no idea there was no lemon chicken dish, rather he ordered a waiter to give instructions to the chef, who made it exclusively for him. If they were unable to do so, he would contact the restaurant and have the dish delivered here.“Hmm,” Liam hummed and turned to face Jessica, who turned her head to the opposite side of the crowd the moment Liam caught her staring. She was admiring the sight in front of her and somehow it sent her into a pleasant daze.“Do your taste buds have any issues?" Liam glared at the woman, who was making a valiant effort to ignore him for no apparent reason. He gave less thought to the opinions of those who were watching them because Liam cared about his happiness, which he experienced by being with them.Jessica could hear the change in the rhythm of her heartbeat, and she knew he was affecting her badly. Her predicament was that she could neither
★★★ Cornell cast Liam a glance before his finger pressed the keys. The moment people discovered it was Moonlight-Sonata, they gasped in shock. On the other hand, Cornell started to play in the minor key of C sharp. And playing a classical instrumental piece at the age of seven was utterly impossible. Jessica was not doubtful that her son could play the most challenging piece, but she was unaware that Cornell had mastered Moonlight-Sonata, which they had the opportunity to hear on a significant event during their stay in Poland. The hushed crowd watched Cornell intently, as well as Liam sitting next to Cornell who appeared to be a charming king. As long as people stared at them, an lily white delineation of a father and son developed in their heads. Although there were no spoken words echoing around the room, their minds kept replaying how similar the child looked to Liam Grey. With his small fingers pressing the keys, Cornell began the piece. While the right hand withheld the tune'
★★★ Stefen stopped right in front of Liam. The earlier iciness in his eyes had been replaced by a repose, giving Stefen the appearance of a character who was in control. Liam cast a wary glance Stefen's way before scanning the hallway for Jessica. Not finding her presence in the hall Liam decided to call his bodyguard, but Stefen's abrupt words stopped him. “Cornell, your mum heads to her room to bring grandpa a gift. She will arrive at any moment. She also said you have to stick with me until she return." “I am fine with Liam. Mom is not going to object," Cornell immediately responded to Stefen's invitation to join him, which he declined. “But you must not disobey your mother, no matter whatever the reason is!" Stefen attempted to persuade Cornell to come to him rather than allowing Cornell to remain with Liam, who purposefully created a buzz today. And Stefen did not need to be reminded on what purpose Liam was here. It had been seven years, and nothing in Lawrence Manor had prom
