Keith officially announced the Moore family members as his parents-in-law, causing a stir in City F and even throughout the entire Y State.Strangely, Keith's grandma, Old Mrs. Nelson, in distant City T remained silent on the matter, never expressing her support or opposition.Old Mrs. Nelson's attitude left everyone below guessing and speculating.However, it couldn't be denied that the status of the Moore family had indeed received a hidden boost.Even though the Moore family was not one to seek prestige through connections, whenever the Moore family was mentioned outside, in addition to the respect previously held for scholars, there was now an added layer of fear.After spending two days and nights with Shirley, Keith reappeared at the company when his wound had healed.Lillian had already been sent directly to City A by Keith citing a need to report back to headquarters.There was sure to be someone there to receive her.The departure of Lillian had immediately freshened the air
Shirley said, "Hey, I heard Stanford is coming too? When did he get here?"Tina's smile suddenly froze, and she said, "Can you not mention him? Tonight, I plan to scope out some cute guys at the bonfire party and maybe bring one home! If he shows up, my plans are ruined!"Shirley glanced past Tina and saw someone looking furious. Unable to hold back, she said, "Do you really hate your boss that much?""Tch, no way! That guy can't find a girlfriend himself, so he's always meddling in my love life! I'm twenty-five already, I don't wanna end up an old maid! Hey, Shirley, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you rolling them or something?" Tina asked as Shirley kept giving her signals.Before Shirley could respond, a familiar voice came from behind them, "Oh really? Sounds like I've been too lenient with you."Tina's body froze suddenly!How can it be?!How is it possible?Why is the boss here?Isn't he supposed to arrive tomorrow?Oh, no! My plan to flirt with handsome guys is ruined!Shirle
The villagers gathered around the bonfire in groups, flipping the sizzling whole lamb on the grill and sprinkling it with cumin and spices non-stop. After a good roast over the open flame, the entire square was practically enveloped in the aroma of barbecue.Tina couldn't stand the gloomy expression on her boss anymore, so she ran over to squeeze in beside Shirley.With a mournful face, Tina said, "It's over, my plan to snag hot guys tonight is ruined."Shirley chuckled lightly.This Stanford guy dislikes her, but seems that he cares much about Tina...Interesting! After Tina dashed away, Stanford looked around and, not seeing Lillian, immediately called her over with a phone call.How could we have such an occasion without Lillian?She needs to be around Keith more often!How can they build a relationship if they're not together often?Shirley never expected Lillian to show up.When she saw Lillian's tearful eyes, she instinctively glanced at Keith.Keith shook his head, saying noth
Keith never expected that when he got on the RV, instead of the wine Stanford prepared for him, he was faced with Lillian's open arms.At that moment, he felt a bit disappointed in Stanford.Lillian stepped forward, hugging Keith, rubbing her cheek against his chest.She could hear Keith's heartbeat, but the anticipated rapid heartbeat didn't happen.How was it possible?She was standing naked in front of him, how could he resist?Shirley was pregnant now and couldn't make love with him, wasn't he uncomfortable?She had already taken the initiative to this extent, wasn't that enough?Lillian then tiptoed, trying to kiss Keith first.Her carefully made-up face was radiant, lips slightly parted seductively."Keith, tonight I am yours. No matter how you treat me, I will be without complaints!" As Lillian got closer, her lips inches away from Keith's tightly pressed ones.There was a determined look in Lillian's eyes.As long as she had sex with Keith, Shirley would become insignificant!
Tonight's bonfire party was a mix of joy and tears.But of course, Shirley belonged to the joyous category. Throughout the party, she was the happiest one playing.The villagers had such an intense liking for Shirley that it made everyone else envious.After changing clothes and trying to join the villagers, Lillian, seeing how popular Shirley was, felt intensely jealous.She just couldn't understand why Shirley was so well-liked in this Village?Wasn't she pregnant now?Her figure was starting to show signs of pregnancy, and she couldn't overly enhance her appearance.Why was such a woman still so popular?Lillian always had a certain pride in her own beauty.Don't men like delicate, teary-eyed girls?Keith used to love her a lot, but now why...How could Lillian have known that the former carefree Keith, with a harmonious family, had naturally become a bit jaded, and growing up alongside her from childhood, that's why he loved a woman like her? Putting aside her six years of absenc
On the other side, Stanford reached out and grabbed Tina's arm, furrowing his brows, "Tina, can you listen to my explanation, please?"Tina shook off Stanford's hand, deliberately smiling unabashedly, "Boss, are you kidding me? You're thirty years old, isn't it normal to have women around you? Your good buddy Keith is about to become a dad, I can understand your urgency too!"Last night, Tina avoided.In the morning, Tina was cold towards Stanford.Stanford finally lost his temper.The calmer Tina appears, the more unsettled she actually is.After knowing Tina for so many years, how could Stanford not understand her little temper?Before Stanford could speak, Tina had already turned and left, not at all planning to listen to his explanation.At that moment, Lillian slowly walked up to Stanford, watching Tina's departure with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.Why was Tina so close to Shirley?It was to make her upset!Lillian contained her eyes, looking at Stanford with a pitiful exp
After a busy day, things finally settled down.The village chief was hosting tonight.So, everyone went to the village chief's house early with gifts.As Shirley walked in, she saw several local girls in traditional clothes welcoming her with big smiles."Esteemed guest, please have a drink as a token of my heart and my intentions, will you accept?" The charming girls sang as they handed Shirley the drink.Keith furrowed his brows slightly as Shirley was pregnant and couldn't drink.Shirley, however, accepted the drink with a smile, taking a sip to show respect.The girls were delighted, bowing to Shirley and singing, "A drink at the door, the distinguished guest must stay. Inviting guests through mountains and rivers, true feelings, and fine wine in the heart. Two esteemed guests, please come in..."Shirley nodded with a smile and followed Keith inside.The others following behind Shirley and Keith were also treated the same way.Tina, influenced by Stanford, took the drink handed by
"You..." Lillian didn't expect Tina to be so indifferent towards Stanford, and a look of extreme pity flashed across her face as she gazed at Tina, as if Tina's lack of interest in Stanford was a heinous crime.Hmm, this woman was truly contradictory!She flaunted her close relationship with Stanford on the one hand, but on the other hand, felt heartbroken because Tina didn't care about Stanford."There is one thing I need to clarify," Tina said slowly to Lillian. "You think I don't like you because of Shirley? No, no, no, you think too highly of yourself! In my eyes, you haven't earned that privilege. I may not like Keith because of Shirley, but I don't like you because of Shirley. I just don't like you myself!"When Tina said this, not only was Lillian stunned, but Shirley was also surprised.This was the first time Tina had been so blunt about disliking someone.It seemed like Tina was truly angry."Tina! How can you say such things to Lillian!" Stanford's voice suddenly rang out f
