★★★ “Cornell, stop eating cookies before going to the party. There will be many things to eat and I believe you want to try more foods,” Jessica hurriedly remarked as she was huffing for breath. Even though she had finished applying her makeup, she still lacked time to put on her dress because she needed to get Cornell ready first. “Yes, I am aware, but they are not going to be particularly appetizing considering that there are people in the manor who will try to find a way to give you trouble. I have no desire to go there, mom," Cornell drank the water and put the cookie jar away out of his reach. He was already aware that an incident would occur before the evening came to an end. “Cornell.!!" As she walked up to Cornell on the couch, Jessica's body relaxed. Her eyes were filled with emotion as she hugged him while sitting down. Her heart swelled with the thought that Cornell was her son. Jessica reasoned, "I must have done some good deeds in my previous life for Jesus to have gi
★★The manor was adequately illuminated, and there were more guards than usual outside Lawrence Manor. As the opulent cars came to a halt in front of the manor one by one, families exited with overly extravagant appearances, continuing on with the belief that they had to appear wealthy and at the top of the game. Aside from that, everyone wanted to secure positions because the following day's news would be the main story.Due to the numerous visitors, Darren and Eva were unable to get a single moment to themselves. While Rilika was attending her friends at the drinking bar and Stefen had not been appeared in the party. Darren and Eva had not yet gotten a glimpse of him which made them a little apprehensive.“Where has Stefen been? Soon the Waver family will be here!" As people continued to stare at them, Darren questioned Eva while maintaining the smile.“Actually, I have no idea. Probably occupied with other people," Eva spoke quickly in response as she scanned the crowd for her
★★★ “Stefen, meet Mr. Waver and Mrs. Waver and beside them their only daughter Moon Waver,” Darren introduced the Waver family to his son who were pleased by Stefen's appearance and had learned the reason behind Moon's adoration for him. Although they questioned Moon about her encounter with Stefen, they were unable to obtain any information; however, their daughter's persistent forced them to accept the relationship. “We are all very appreciative of your visit, Mr. Waver. I hope you will treat us like members of your family," Stefen said with a smile as he scanned the Waver family before turning to their daughter Moon, who was unable to meet his eyes. She had a red flush to her cheeks, and everyone could see her nervously scrabbling the skin around her nails. With a smile, Stefen said, "You are lovely, Miss Moon.” Moon looked up and smiled sheepishly at Stefen. She was aware of how difficult it was for her to contain the beating of her heart, which had grown wings after seeing Stef
★★★Jessica and Cornell walked towards the grand entrance, which Cornell could barely recognize because of the marvelous decor. He maintained the pace with her mother, who was slower than a tortoise.Cornell, on the other hand, wanted to go inside with Liam, who was wearing the same suit as him. He wanted to show off their look together, but his mother convinced him that it was impossible.As Jessica's eyes landed on Liam speaking on the phone on the door with his bodyguard standing next to him, she immediately realized the constricted breath she was giving off. She was fervently hoping that Liam would enter first, grabbing everyone's attention, before she entered calmly. He was still standing by the door, though.“Mum, you are killing me. I have never walked like this. You live here as well. Stop portraying us as a bunch of food thieves seeking out free food."This slow crawling walk was becoming too much for Cornell, who could not stop himself from complaining.After taking a
★★★ “What is your strategy?” Jessica examined with her narrowed eyes as she contemplated what Liam was cooking in his head. Whatever he was thinking, she would be the only one to suffer the consequences. “I do not have any. If I have, you can not run away from it,” Liam smiled and continued, “My presence is valuable to everyone and everywhere, but do you want to know why I feel compelled to be here tonight?” Liam said with relaxed eyes, and showed no apprehension about people noticing, as he should have because his insignificant actions stood a good chance of making headlines. “I am sure you want to do something special for Rilika; how thoughtful of you. And there is your girlfriend slowly approaching us!" Jessica stated as she took a deep breath in preparation for another fantastic drama. “In this black dress, you look lovely, sister. Look, I'm not trying to be overly dramatic, but I am dying to get my hands on this gorgeous dress. Could you tell me where did you buy it?” Rilika
★★“I would like to introduce Funel Waver to you, Mr Liam. He is the CEO of Densun Industry, and more importantly, his daughter will soon be a part of this family,” Darren spoke while struggling to contain his joy over the fact that Stefen would not only become Waver's son-in-law but also the second head of the Dunsun industry. The Lawrence family's status would rise more significantly as a result of this small marriage agreement.Liam's attention, which had been on Stefen and Jessica, now turned to Darren and Funel Waver. However, he had not displayed any of the customary manners that are given when meeting new people.However, what Liam said to them later caught them off guard."Make sure that the wedding will be remembered as the most memorable event in the entire town. If anyone who needs more assistance should come to me,” Liam paused and this time his eyes went to Stefen, “Let me be clear: I do not want to appear powerful; instead, I prefer when things resolve themselves on
★★★ “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
