Keith, in Saudi Arabia, stared at his phone intently.It had been three days, and she hadn't sent a single message!Keith almost thought his phone was broken. How could there be no messages or calls for three days?Beside Keith was his assistant, Jim.Jim looked bewildered. His boss, Mr. Keith, had been in Saudi Arabia for three days, and whenever he had free time, he stared at his phone for a long time.Keith sighed lightly in his heart.Did she not know to take the initiative to call or message him if he didn't do it first?"Mr. Keith, is your phone broken? Would you like me to get you a new one?" Jim asked cautiously.Keith raised an eyebrow and gave a cold snort.Jim touched his nose, unsure of what he said wrong.Jim lamented in his heart. He had only been sent out by Mr. Keith for a few weeks, but why did his behavior change so drastically when he returned?Tony had been with Mr. Keith during that time. What had happened?Keith answered dejectedly, "No need. If someone calls or
"Shirley!" a familiar voice boomed from outside the door.Shirley looked up and saw Robert Wright with an assessing gaze, looking at her and the house behind her."Dad? It's your big day today. Why aren't you at home with your new bride? Do you have time to loiter around my doorstep?" Shirley couldn't help but feel nauseous when she saw Robert dressed in a brand-new suit, her tone dripping with sarcasm.Robert disregarded Shirley's sarcasm and went straight to the point. "Why are you living here? Is your mother still unwilling to accept it and wants to live next to me to win me back? Tell your mother that I've divorced her. I have no relation to her anymore! Tell her to give up on this idea and never appear in front of me again!"Listening to Robert's absurd words, Shirley almost burst into laughter.He was truly confident.Over the years, it was true that her mother had endured humiliation and carried the burden of this family primarily because she loved him. But as they say, the dee
Tony immediately stood up and said to Shirley, "Madam, let me help you inside for the check-up. We don't need to bother with such a person."Shirley silently nodded in agreement.Indeed, Tony was right, there was no need to explain anything to such a person.Although Anna's face was pale, she also straightened her back instantly.The woman Robert was supporting was probably his newlywed wife, right? However, the child inside her belly belonged to another man, right?Some things were better left unsaid and there was no need to expose them.Anna understood Shirley's meaning and ignored Robert, taking over Tony's position and supporting Shirley inside for the check-up.Although Robert knew that Tony was Keith's assistant, he was feeling quite pleased with himself at the moment! He was playing the role of a groom and a father, and with Keith not around, Robert was being very arrogant."Shirley, why haven't you gone back yet? How can a married daughter keep staying at your mom' house?" Rob
"Boss, please spare me! I will pay you back the money I owe you! This is my daughter's house! I can't lose it!" Uncle Wright pleaded, repeatedly kowtowing to the bald man."Oh... bought it for your daughter!" the bald man replied nonchalantly, saying, "Show him the declaration from earlier. It clearly states that if you refuse to sell the house, then your daughter will have to work for me for free for ten years."Uncle Wright looked up and saw the clear words written on a white paper, exactly as the bald man had said.Uncle Wright knew what the bald man was capable of, and upon hearing his words, he trembled all over!"Boss, this won't work! My daughter is still young, she can't do such things!" Uncle Wright wailed, tears streaming down his face. He wanted to rush over and hug the bald man's leg but was stopped by one of the younger men."It's not up to you anymore. Based on our past relationship, I've reminded you as well. Who can you blame if you insist on diving headfirst into this
The next morning, the maid served breakfast and as Shirley just stepped out of her room, she heard someone frantically ringing the doorbell.Shirley was surprised. Who would come knocking so early in the morning?The maid quickly turned on the video intercom and Shirley peeked to see- was that Betty?How did she find this place?"I don't want to see you." Shirley lazily replied.After they finally managed to break free from the Wright family, only a fool would get involved with them again!At first, Betty only rang the doorbell.But after a while, Betty started banging on the door like crazy. "Shirley, come out! Shirley, you coward! Get out here!"Betty's loud commotion attracted many neighbors to come out and watch.Anna also walked out of her room, heard the noise at the door, and couldn't help but look at Shirley, saying, "It's not very nice for her to make a fuss at the door all the time. We might as well listen to find out what she came for."Shirley nodded.She knew that living
Keith was fast-moving.The kitchen was also fast-paced.When Keith came out of the bathroom, the steaming breakfast was laid back on the table.Shirley was dragged by Keith to sit on the side, watching him eat breakfast.Even though he was hungry, his eating manners were still elegant and impeccable."Aren't you eating?" Keith looked up at Shirley."I just ate. You didn't say it earlier, otherwise, I could have waited to eat with you," Shirley replied gloomily. If she had known he would eat with her, she wouldn't have stayed here for so long.Upon hearing Shirley's response, Keith understood it differently and couldn't help but smile with a glimmer in his eyes, "Hmm, I just wanted to give you a surprise."Surprise? More like a shock!Unexpectedly, he rushed in from the entrance. Without him speaking, she would have punched him!Shirley, who was still thinking about Betty, said to Keith, "After we finish eating, you should take a rest.”"Alright." Keith raised an eyebrow slightly, "By
Just as Shirley was enjoying the satisfaction of the situation, a piece of clothing was gently draped over her.Shirley turned around in surprise and met Keith's gaze."I've been waiting for you, but you never came back," Keith calmly replied. "Do you really enjoy watching these kinds of things?"Shirley's face flushed with heat. She felt that Keith was different this time he came back, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed.Keith came over, and the neighbors who had been watching Robert Wright turned their heads eagerly to look at Keith.The gossip woman, even more envious, asked Shirley, "Who is he? He looks like he just stepped out of a painting! He's so handsome!"Shirley chuckled and turned to look at Keith.Keith usually didn't like it when people praised his good looks, but today he seemed to be an exception."Thank you! My wife is more pretty," Keith replied, hands still resting on Shirley's shoulders. With just one sentence, he made their relationship clear.The
It only took a few hours to travel from the countryside to City T.Upon returning home, Shirley and Keith first went to see Grandma Nelson, reported the situation at her hometown, and then returned to their own home.Keith had something to do at the company, so he went straight there.Shirley went home first and after sitting in the car for so long, she was really tired.As soon as she entered the house, Janet greeted her with a welcoming smile, "Madam, you have finally returned! It was a tiring trip!"Shirley smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's okay, I'm glad to have finally resolved my worries."Once inside the house, the maid knelt to change Shirley's slippers, one person passed her a towel to wipe her hands, and another person handed her a glass of milk.Shirley took a few sips of milk and her eyes immediately fell on an envelope placed in the entrance cabinet, and she asked, "What is this?"Janet quickly replied, "It's an invitation. It was just delivered today and it's addr
