2024-02-13 00:00:15Owen bashfully lowered his head, his ears tinged with red.
Ivan couldn't help but let out a snort.This kid was always trying to play the angel; when did he start getting shy?"Let's go, time to head home," Ivan said coldly.Owen's contented smile froze on his face.He gripped Haley's sleeve with a pitiful look, "Haley, do I have to go?"Haley patted his head, "I've got work soon, and Todd and Angela need to go to school. What are you going to do here all alone?"Owen's spirits dropped like a burst bubble, "So, can I come over again sometime?""You can, but—" Haley glanced at Ivan, "You need your daddy's permission. No running off on your own. If you can't do that, you won't be allowed over anymore.""I can do it! I'll make sure of it!" Owen asserted, thumping his little chest, "You can trust me, Haley. I won't sneak out again!"Ivan was speechless.He had scolded, punished, and was close to laying hands on him, but the boy never seemed toRelated chapters

Tears immediately filled Emily's eyes. Her lips quivered and her eyes brimmed with unshed tears, making her appear the picture of vulnerability.Taking a step forward, she lamented, "Ivan, you left the party early last night without me. In the end, it was Wayne who drove me home... Do you have any idea how inappropriate he was? He gave me a creepy look and even grabbed my hand... If I hadn't resisted, he might have tried to take me to a hotel..."Ivan finally gave her his full attention. "Why did you feel the need to resist so fiercely?"Emily was momentarily lost for words.Wasn't fighting him off the obvious thing to do? But since Ivan had brought it up, she felt compelled to give a proper response.Blinking back tears, which now streamed down her face, she said, "Ivan, I'm not that kind of frivolous woman... That night five years ago was a series of accidents I deeply regret. Why did I ever let myself be intimate with a man before marriage? What could I have d

Haley drove the kids to school. On the way, she answered a call from her assistant, “The representatives from the Winston Group have arrived? Hold them for me, I'll be at the office shortly.” Hanging up, she stepped on the gas.Todd furrowed his brow, “Mommy, are you partnering with the Winston Group?”"The Winston Group has this smart car project in the pipeline, it's pretty much a game-changer in the market, and I'm quite intrigued," Haley mentioned casually.Todd's gaze lowered.Ever since Ivan came into Mom's life and started working with her, they’ve been in close touch.Could she fall for this guy, spending so much time with him?After all, the news touts Ivan as the most eligible bachelor in Cuenca, the one every woman dreams of marrying."Todd, what's up?" Haley caught Todd's troubled expression in the rearview mirror and voiced her concern.It seemed like since yesterday, Todd had been down in the dumps, his mood noticeably off."Mom, I'm

"To have launched a coding firm at such a young age, Haley, is quite the accomplishment," complimented Nicholas as they shook hands, his tone neutral, offering polite conversation.Haley chuckled, "I owe it to friends who've lent me a hand. Without them, it wouldn't have been this smooth."A cousin helped secure the office space, and several of the programmers had been referrals from him as well.Without her cousin's support, her studio would probably still be in chaos...Nicholas considered this; it was likely more than just a hand - perhaps Haley was merely a figurehead...But as a seasoned professional, Nicholas wouldn't let his emotions show in front of a business associate. He steered the conversation back to work, "Let's discuss the preliminary design for the project, Haley...""Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz—"Haley's phone vibrated on the desk.She glanced at the caller ID—Thomas—and promptly declined the call, "My apologies, Nicholas, please continue..."

Seconds later, her phone exploded with messages— "Haley, you're so heartless!""Haley, this is the 999th time you've blocked my number, I'll remember this!""Haley, I was wrong, please give me another chance!"Without a second glance, Haley turned her phone face down on the desk.Lifting her gaze, she put on a warm smile, "Sorry for the interruption, Nicholas, we can continue now. You were discussing Visual Studio, a rather traditional programming approach. I've made a few modifications...""I’ll take this initial design back to the Winston Group for a thorough review," Nicholas said as he rose to his feet. "The A-F project is a major investment for the Winston Group, and some details can't be settled just between the two of us."Haley nodded with a smile, “You make a good point, Nicholas. Let the tech department at the Winston Group evaluate it first and then we can discuss the next steps.”Nicholas left the studio with a thick stack of programming

Nicholas measured his words carefully, speaking slowly, "I admire Haley’s design philosophy. She's embraced an entirely new approach to programming, shattering conventional modules and merging them into fresh code protocols. It's quite daring..."Ivan nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of respect.Though not deeply entrenched in coding, he was confident enough to assert that programmers bold enough to draft such plans were a rare breed worldwide.Haley had truly impressed him.He tossed the proposal back, "Risk has its rewards. Let's stick with this draft for now. Keep the ball rolling on this project."With that, Ivan headed straight into the CEO's office.Luke gave Nicholas a pat on the shoulder, "Mrs. Winston is really bullish on this project. If you nail it, Nicholas, you might even score a promotion and a raise!"Nicholas managed a wry smile.Mrs. Winston wasn't tech-savvy; naturally, she was oblivious to the risks lurking behind the glitzy projec

"If the air quality was halfway decent back home, would I even be living in Australia?" Mrs. Winston's voice was cool and aloof. "I'm having someone bring Owen over to stay with me for a few months.""That's not happening," Ivan responded firmly. "He's got commitments here; he can't just up and leave for Australia.""Ivan, I'm getting old; I need company," Mrs. Winston's tone was stern yet tinged with vulnerability. "I live alone in this sprawling estate. Do you have any idea what my days are like? I'm not asking you to visit, just for one of the kids to spend some time with me. Would you deny me even this?"Ivan fell into a rare silence.After the twins' first month, he had sent them to Australia to be cared for by his mother. Partly because he hadn't been ready to handle the sudden arrival of two children, and partly to fulfill his mother's longstanding wish to have her grandchildren with her.Unexpectedly, after just three months abroad, due to his mother's ne

"Auntie, marriage should be rooted in love," Kaitlyn said, a gentle smile curving her lips."Without love, it's like a tomb. Ivan wouldn't want to build his own tomb just for the sake of the kids."Mrs. Winston shook her head silently. In her years in Australia, she'd long since lost any sway over her son. Anything she said seemed to fall on deaf ears."You know, I've grown quite fond of Ivan's perspective on love," Kaitlyn mused with a shy smile. "I've heard so much about him all these years, and yet, I still haven't laid eyes on him. Auntie, do you have a picture of him?" Mrs. Winston looked at Kaitlyn, her gaze filled with a mixture of emotions.Catherine had waltzed into her life about four or five years ago, showing up daily to see her, and she found herself opening up to this girl in her early twenties, sharing secrets and troubles.She even confided in Catherine about her misunderstandings with Ivan.If Catherine were to become her daughter-in-law, she

She was a 28-year-old master's graduate who had studied abroad and sported a chic ear-length bob, oozing intelligence and efficiency.Mia snorted dismissively: "After four to five years as customer service manager, your position has been downgraded, not promoted. You're telling me you have no complaints?""I respect the leadership's decisions," replied Eva calmly. "It is an honor to assist Haley."After her statement, she walked up to the manager's office door and knocked."Coward!" Mia criticized disdainfully. "Some returnee with a master's degree you are, not even knowing how to fight for your own rights!"Just then, the office door opened for Eva, and Mia's words clearly reached Haley's ears.Peering through the gap in the door, Haley caught sight of the uniquely dressed Mia.This person seemed familiar...Squinting, she pondered for a moment before it clicked.Five years ago, at her eighteenth birthday celebration, this person had appeared alo

After a thorough read, she folded the document and spoke up, her voice indifferent, "Kid, who drafted this contract?""Our young master did," replied Russell, “Ms. DeRoss, if everything looks fine to you, the contract will take effect once you sign it."Haley chuckled. She was striking, exuding a bewitching charm.And yet, within the depths of her clear eyes, there was a peculiar blend of innocence and mystery.Keith felt his defenses soften and his detachment give way when he saw her smile. It was as if a hole had been poked through his armor of indifference.Realizing too late that he had been staring at Haley for a while, frustration surged within him.This woman must have used that same smile to ensnare Dad and confuse Owen..."I see a problem," she said, her smile vanishing.She leaned forward, a sense of authority emanating from her.Looking Keith straight in the eye, her lips twisted into a disdainful curve, "You should be in school at your age, not out here trying to show off.

Transmedia Tech, an internet media company.Two years ago, there were rumors of its bankruptcy, and after being acquired, it suddenly came back to life and became a leading player in the internet industry.However, there is not much information about this company on the internet.Haley glanced at Transmedia Tech's profile and said lightly, "What time did they make an appointment?""Half past two, at Pennie Coffee."After finishing her work in the morning, Haley drove straight to Pennie Coffee.She arrived ten minutes early, ordered a cup of coffee, and began to read the information on the internet.She searched for the company again, but she still couldn't find much info, and even the investor info behind it had been removed.It can be seen that this company has a lot of connections.She just didn’t know why this company would take a fancy to her newly opened studio.Haley waited for about five minutes before she heard footsteps outside the private room.She straightened her collar an

Keith thought that Haley had also planned to gain the trust of the entire Winston family through Owen. This woman's quite a schemer. Keith knew he had to be cautious......Haley picked up the kids and went home. When she was cooking dinner, she received a video call from Owen."Haley, why didn't you come to see me?" Owen's voice was still weak, "I'm so bored here in the hospital all alone. Could you come keep me company? I want to hear stories..."Haley shook the ladle in her hand, "It's too late today; I'll come see you tomorrow and bring you some cookies I've baked.""You're the best, Haley!" Owen's enthusiasm was palpable.Haley’s lips curled into a smile, "Get some rest now, and don't stay up too late, okay?""How about a goodnight kiss, then?" Owen puckered his lips towards the phone screen, a bandage still wrapped around his head, looking both pitiful and comically adorable.Laughing, Haley pressed a kiss to her phone screen and then ended the call.Carrying the freshly stewed

"The timing is too perfect, isn't it?" Keith said slowly, "Owen got in a car accident, and Haley just happened to be there and then saved him by donating her blood to him. What a coincidence!"His voice was deep and raspy, unlike a four-year-old boy.Ivan's eyes narrowed, "You think Haley staged the accident?""She had a motive," Keith pressed his lips together firmly and continued, "Surely you're aware of the bad blood between Mom and Haley...""It wasn't her," Ivan stated flatly.He had already been briefed on the accident. It was indeed premeditated. Someone had the audacity to target his son. But that someone couldn't possibly be Haley."Dad, are you so certain it isn't this woman when the investigation is still ongoing?" Keith's voice chilled, "What if it turns out to actually be Haley?""She wouldn't hurt Owen," Ivan looked at him with conviction. "She saved your brother; you shouldn't suspect her."Darkness crept into Keith's eyes.His moth

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll have someone look into it. I won't let anyone hurt Owen."After she voluntarily donated blood to save Owen, it's unlikely she'd attempt anything against him again anytime soon..." Emily's voice was husky and choked with emotion. "Now that she's gained your dad's trust, I’m sure she'll make her move... Keith, I’m really scared she’ll hurt you or Owen. I’d rather she came after me...""It won't happen."Keith ended the phone call.He turned to his assistant, Russell, and said coolly, “Check out that car accident near the DeRoss Group building. See what that was all about.”Russell nodded, “Will do, Mr. Winston.”He pulled out his phone and started making calls...Keith instructed his driver, "To the hospital."As the car glided smoothly down the road, they hadn't even reached the hospital when Russell received a call from the traffic police.The majority of the time, Maple Street is congested, w

Keith had been involved in the family business since the age of three.The company under his operation, Transmedia Tech, was a subsidiary that the Winston Group had planned to divest from two years ago.He took over the day before its planned bankruptcy.Now, after a year of shrewd management, Transmedia had become one of the top three most profitable subsidiaries of Winston Group.Keith, having just finished a meeting, felt a nagging unrest.He was usually a calm person, but his current anxiety exposed a vulnerability reflective of a four-year-old child."Young Master, you've pretty much wrapped up all your work for today. Perhaps you should head back and rest?" suggested his young assistant, Russell, with due respect.Keith shook his head.He sensed discomfort.Had something happened to Owen?He was about to reach for his phone to call Alfred when his phone began to vibrate.He glanced at it. The incoming call was from his mother.Ti

It seemed he didn't really mind the idea of marrying this woman...Haley, with her acute senses, caught Ivan's stare and quickly changed the subject.Her eyes shifted to Owen and she spoke with authoritative firmness, “It might not hurt now, but once the anesthesia wears off, you’re going to be in tears from the pain. You’ll understand then just how terrifying a car accident can be! Owen, if you ever want to see me again, just give me a call. I'll come pick you up myself. If you dare sneak out like you did today, I won't come to see you ever again!”Her face stern, she emphasized each word, her tone leaving no room for protest.Tears pooled in Owen's eyes as he looked at Haley with a plaintive expression, “I won’t ever do it again, Haley... I just missed you too much, I couldn't help myself. I just wanted you to hug and kiss me...”His big eyes were brimming with sorrow, making him look like a forlorn puppy.Haley's heart softened, and she bent down to plant

Chapter 181Ivan took a seat on the other side of the bed.He stated calmly, "Alfred, get some sports drinks, please."Alfred promptly went to carry out the request.In the hospital room, aside from the slumbering Owen, only the two of them remained, surrounded by the sterile scent of disinfectant.With a muted voice, Ivan said, "Thank you for this. Whatever you need, just tell me.""I have a soft spot for Owen. I was more than willing to save him, and…" Haley's voice faltered, a slight bitterness on her tongue, "he must have snuck out to find me. That's how he got into an accident..."Her voice trailed off, her gaze lowered, shielding all emotions.Ivan paused before saying, "He's really fond of you."A gentle smile curled on Haley's lips.Looking at Owen resting in the hospital bed, she couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his face. She felt an immediate warmth towards him when she first saw him at the airport. Owen kept coming back

His opened his mouth, about to speak, but his phone began to vibrate in his palm, displaying Alfred's name.The sight of Alfred's name sent a sharp pain through Ivan's heart.Whenever Alfred reached out, it was always a matter of urgency.With Owen in surgery and Alfred calling, could it mean…The typically composed man's fingers trembled, requiring two attempts to tap the answer button."Sir, Owen's going to be alright!" Alfred exclaimed, choked with joy, "The surgery's nearly finished and doctors say he should wake up by tonight if all goes well!"Ivan felt a great relief.He walked briskly towards the hospital, concurrently asking, "How was the blood resolved?"He'd made calls, but a resolution couldn't have come this fast."Sir, you might not know yet, but Miss DeRoss, Owen's aunt Haley — she's got the negative blood type!" Alfred rushed out his words, "When Owen had his accident, Haley was there, she brought him to the hospital, and she volun
