"Mr. Keith!" The people in the office stood up straight and greeted Keith.Keith just nodded slightly, his gaze locked onto Shirley.Shirley casually brushed aside the stray hair falling over her forehead, revealing her fair and slender neck, and then looked up at Keith.She noticed his uncertain gaze and had no idea what had happened during his absence. She could only greet him like everyone else, "Mr....""Follow me!" Before Shirley could finish her sentence, Keith grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the nearby lounge.Shirley found herself pressed against the wall.She couldn't help but think about last night...Her ears turned red, and she struggled, "What are you doing? This is the office!"Keith's body leaned in, firmly trapping Shirley between himself and the wall, leaving her no room to move."How did you make the agreement with my grandmother?" His large hand caressed Shirley's cheek, the delicate and tender touch causing a slight ripple in Keith's heart, reminiscent of th
After the convoy parked in the exclusive area belonging to the Nelson family, Shirley got out of the car with the help of her assistant.Looking around, she saw lush greenery all around.The golf estate was divided into eight major areas, with the Nelson family occupying one area exclusively, while the other seven areas were leased to others.Each area had its own leisure zone, and golf course, as well as additional facilities like hot springs, dining, and massage.Tourist buses were shuttling between the eight areas, so getting around was very convenient.As Shirley entered her resting room, she saw Rose sneak in from behind the door, moving like a cat.Shirley noticed that Rose was wearing the uniform of the golf course staff.Rose, originally a runway model, looked exceptional in any clothes she wore.Shirley immediately grabbed Rose's hand and said, "Rose, you look good no matter what you wear. Even in a work uniform, you can still pull it off. I can't do that anymore. In a few mo
Unable to find Rose, Shirley had to give up and hope that she didn't wander around aimlessly, as it might be dangerous.While she was still worried about Rose, her phone rang. Shirley picked it up and saw it was Tina's number."Hello, Tina," Shirley answered softly."I heard you guys came to the golf estate today," Tina said confidently. "I came with our boss, we're in section 2! Why don't you come over?"Shirley was taken aback. "You guys came too?""Yeah, I'm in section 2! The boss is playing golf with them, and I'm all alone. I remembered that you were here today, and since Keith didn't bring you, why don't you come find me?" Tina said."No, I think I'll stay here," Shirley declined after thinking it over. If Keith couldn't find her when he came later..."Okay, then I'll come to you! The boss has some boring old men for clients today, it's so boring!" Tina replied with a hint of frustration. "I even said I could skip events like this, but he insisted on bringing me!"Shirley sudden
Keith didn't think too much and plunged into the water. He immediately saw a woman losing control of her body and falling towards the bottom of the pool.Rose had been practicing holding her breath underwater and hadn't noticed Keith and Rupert's arrival.When she couldn't resist coming up to the surface, before she could react, someone hit her hard from behind.In the next moment, all Rose could hear in her mind was a voice: Oh no! I can't move.But as her body uncontrollably fell, she saw Keith swiftly diving towards her.This is my chance! Rose opened her mouth and a string of bubbles escaped.Noticing the bubbles, Keith accelerated towards her and scooped Rose into his arms, turning around to swim to the surface.Rose collapsed in Keith's embrace.Keith quickly resurfaced with Rose in his arms, and Rupert swiftly swam over, helping support Rose and bringing her to the shore.As Keith's gaze fell upon Rose's face, he visibly froze."Rose?" Keith exclaimed, reaching out to lightly t
After crying for a while, Shirley finally managed to stabilize her emotions. Speaking out loud about her feelings indeed made her feel much better.Tina pulled Shirley and said, "Come on, let's not stand here. Let's go rest up ahead."Shirley nodded and followed as they were about to leave.Just then, Rose's voice came from behind, "Shirley, wait for me!"Shirley's body suddenly stiffened!Tina also turned back curiously, looking at Rose.Tina studied Rose up and down, while Rose also sized up to Tina. The two women's gazes collided, sparking instant tension.Rose quickly estimated Tina's fighting strength and figured that she wouldn't be a match!Who is this woman, anyway?However, Rose didn't have time to deal with Tina temporarily. She directly said to Shirley, "Shirley, can we talk?"Shirley lowered her gaze. "Is there anything left to talk about?""Shirley, I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I couldn't help myself. You know how much I loved him before you married Keith," Rose
In the evening, at the usual family dinner.Shirley arrived late.Keith's eyes showed a hint of impatience.Before Keith could ask, Shirley spoke, "I'm really sorry for being late. I wasn't feeling well earlier, so I rested in the room for a while."Upon hearing that Shirley wasn't feeling well, Keith's gaze quickly fell upon her.He wanted to ask Shirley what was wrong, but he felt awkward doing so, considering they had argued in the office yesterday.Thus, Keith coldly said, "If you're not feeling well, then don't bother coming."Seeing Keith's indifference, Shirley's eyes narrowed.Exactly!Rose was right!Keith couldn't let go or forget about Rose, after all.When Rose appeared in front of him again, his attitude instantly became much colder.Well, let everyone go their separate ways tonight.After giving birth to the child, she would sever all ties with the Nelson family.Rupert maintained his polite demeanor, saying, "Miss Shirley, you're being too kind. We didn't wait long."Ke
Susan had once been the unparalleled beauty queen of H University, and her photos weren't difficult to find.Her pictures were still on the official website of H University, because subsequent beauty queens couldn't compare to her in any way.When Shirley saw Susan's photo, she was struck as if by lightning and sat up abruptly, "How is this possible? It's too uncanny!"Shirley touched the photo on the tablet with her fingers and kept zooming in. The more Shirley looked, the more shocked she became.It was an exact match, truly identical!Shirley was left speechless, not knowing what to say."If even a stranger like me is this amazed, what expression do you think Rupert will have when he sees you?" Tina reminded Shirley.Shirley froze suddenly, and images of her encounters with Rupert quickly replayed in her mind.Yes! The first time she met Rupert, his gaze had been peculiar, as if he had something to say but couldn't!Could it be that he mistook her for Susan?In all honesty, Shirley
Rupert's gaze had already focused on Keith. Could he be the one responsible?Right at that moment, Keith, who had just finished taking a shower, came over in a refreshed state."Mr. Rupert, you don't look so good. Did you not get enough rest last night?" Keith looked at Rupert with a smile.Rupert twitched the corner of his mouth; of course, he hadn't slept well.Since the moment the website was hacked, he hadn't slept at all. But he couldn't say such things."Maybe I just haven't adapted to the change in environment," Rupert said calmly. "I'm not like you, Mr. Keith, globetrotting and able to fall asleep anywhere. Most of my time is spent domestically, constantly going back and forth between a few places. Naturally, I've become a bit more delicate. For this, my grandfather has scolded me several times! Being from a military family, I'm even more delicate than a pampered young master."Keith understood that Rupert was subtly mocking him for being rough and not delicate enough, but he
