Looking at her beautiful face that was peacefully sleeping, Roderick suddenly felt a sense of mission that he had never experienced before. It was as if in his life, there was not only one more son, but also one more woman in his life.
He swore in his heart, Victoria, I will definitely make you my woman.
As for the woman who was in a deep slumber, she had no idea where her dream had gone. She didn't even know that there was a man wholeheartedly guarding her from the side.
In the Marquez's residence.
Grace and her daughter were so angry that she almost died. Grace was angry because Victoria climbed up such a big tree like Roderick, was she planning to steal the Marquez family's property?
Kaylin, on the other hand, was filled with jealousy and envy, and an intense unreconciled feeling enveloped her. Victoria had met Roderick five years ago, how could she be so lucky?
And Austin, who clearly knew that she had betrayed him five years ago, still
Victoria's legs felt a little weak. She had never felt so powerless before, so every step she took on the ground felt like she was stepping on clouds. She had no strength.When Roderick saw her enter the door, she also supported the door frame. He realized that her legs were weak. He suddenly went up, and before Victoria could react, he carried her towards the elevator."Ugh ..." Victoria was shocked and this man held her.Victoria pressed on the elevator and just like that, she was carried by Roderick inside. She blushed slightly in embarrassment.He carried her back to her house, where she laid on the sofa.Victoria wanted to make porridge. But when she saw the man enter the kitchen, she was slightly surprised. Could it be that he was making it?After a while, Roderick came out and said to her, "It will take half an hour. Are you sure you aren't hungry?"I don't want to eat yet. If you're hungry, cook something to eat!""I'll
Roderick poured a cup of warm water and passed it to her. Victoria took a glance at him and asked, "When are you going to bring your son back?""I'll pick them up in the afternoon!" Roderick had already thought of his plan for the morning. Her fever suddenly came, and she had to observe the entire morning."Our son will have his complaints." Victoria furrowed her brows. Ever since her son was born, she had never been able to leave him.Roderick raised his eyebrows and smiled, "As long as I say that you and I are dating, I can guarantee that he won't mind."Victoria drank some water and immediately choked, "Cough ... Cough ..."A hint of displeasure flashed through Roderick's eyes, and at the same time, he naturally pulled out a piece of paper to hand to her, and said unhappily, "What do you mean by this? Do you feel wronged that you fell in love with me?"Victoria took a deep breath and wiped off the water stains on the corner of her mouth w
His eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were long and reserved, and his lips were perfect under his proud and charming nose. He had a man's most attractive lemon chin, which was extremely sexy and graceful.Victoria had to admit that this man was somewhat against the rules.She thought he was staring at the computer and typing on the email. Unexpectedly, he asked her, with a charming look in his eyes, "Do I look good?"Victoria immediately choked a bit as she turned away with her face slightly flushed. He actually knew that she was looking at him."Then... That's it!" Victoria stammered in reply. She was not good at flustered.Roderick smiled, "Do you like it? I'm your future man, so it wouldn't be a loss if you said I'm good-looking."Victoria forced herself to calm down. This man was her man! When did she agree with him?"Last night, you took the initiative to rely on me. Didn't you want to let that mother and daughter know that you are m
At the Mcintosh Residence.Cassie usually liked to pay attention to the matters of the entertainment industry because her dream was to become a star. Especially the last time she saw, she really loved her. Thus, she would usually idly search for her eight new messages.Then, when she saw that someone had displeased her, she went to look for the benefits of Betty one by one.After she finished her homework today, she lay on the bed and started to update Betty's latest developments and news while the little guy Franklin was playing with the swing-controlled airplane in the garden.Very quickly, she found a piece of news that floated at the very front. It shockingly said that Betty had gotten a boyfriend, her heart immediately jumped, and she quickly clicked on it to see what the idol's boyfriend looked like.With just one point, she didn't even look at the words. She only looked at the photo. This scene made her large, clear eyes widen.God! B
As Betty was resting in the studio, she thought of the scandal of today. She couldn't help but to search for and look at it again, but then, she searched her name, and a promotional video of her new movie a few days ago, where the scandal of her and Bryson was deleted.Betty was stunned for a few seconds. After blinking her eyes, she thought that Bryson must have deleted this information, so of course, he wouldn't like to spread the news with an artist like her."Betty, your rumors from this morning were just deleted! I wonder who deleted it." Her assistant, Diya, came in to inform her.Betty curled her red lips, "Other than me, who else can I be?""You mean, it was deleted by that super handsome guy!" Millet felt sorry for her. Then why did the handsome guy delete this message?This answer was only known in Betty's heart. She knew that even if she were famous, in the eyes of the rich, she would only be an act.Betty mocked herself in her he
Victoria suddenly realized something. If they lived in his home, wouldn't that mean that they would have to live together?Then, she thought back. Was there any difference between her and him now?In her home, it was natural for him to enter her house.Therefore, for the sake of her son's safety, she only needed to find a place to stay. However, where was this man's villa? She was really curious.When it came to Roderick's villa, it was on the back side of the mountain with Bryson, occupying half of the mountain. On the road between the two people's villa, they would need to drive for a detour and it would take about ten minutes to walk.This whole area was bought by these two extremely wealthy men. They had installed a top-notch protective system, making it absolutely safe.When Victoria's car stopped, she looked at the luxurious villa that was built in mid-air. She could not help but be shocked, and secretly exclaimed how rich this man was
Roderick immediately supported his forehead, "Err ...Raise what?""Raise a dog, or a cat!" The little guy really likes animals.Roderick didn't really like pets, because he wasn't a good and patient owner. Furthermore, he didn't have much time."Not at the moment. We'll talk about it later." Roderick rejected his son."Oh!" The little guy was obviously a little disappointed. Roderick could only make him feel disappointed because he really didn't want to raise him.The little guy took a look at the room. He was very satisfied, so he went to visit Daddy's master bedroom and went up to the third floor. The third floor had a movie hall, a gym, billiards, a teahouse, and the top floor had a swimming pool in the air.Victoria was also very satisfied, in the future, being able to live in such a luxurious mansion to accompany his son as he grew up, could be considered as a kind of enjoyment.However, she began to think about how she could bui
When Victoria returned to Roderick's villa, it was already 7 PM. Looking at the villa from the darkness, it seemed to be even more mysterious, with faint blue light spots, wall lamps, warm yellow light lamps, and street lamps, it made the entire villa look completely enchanting.Victoria's car automatically entered the courtyard. She then parked her car in the courtyard and carried her clothes up the wide steps as she walked into the hall, where she saw the little fellow earnestly making sections of the train tracks. Upon seeing her enter, she laughed and said, "Mommy, daddy bought this for me."Victoria immediately sighed. She didn't like the way this man doted on his son. Previously, she was teaching him about how to be frugal, but now, this man had a completely different way of education."Where's your daddy?""I'm cooking in the kitchen!"Victoria also heard the sounds coming from the kitchen. She put down her clothes and walked into the kitche
"Test him? Why?" Victoria did not understand.Roderick also understood that she was a small fry in the business world. He patted her shoulder and said, "I'll tell you about it when we get into the car."After getting into Roderick's car, with the windows tightly closed, Roderick turned to Victoria, who was still waiting for his reply."I suspect that the testament in Yves's hands, you do not get fifty percent of the Marquez Group's shares!" Roderick said directly.Victoria couldn't help but gasp, "Why?""I think that when your father was alive, he did not have any last will, but instead the testament was made after his death. And it was the last will that Grace and Yves formed together. If I'm not wrong, you can't even get any share of the Marquez Group!" Roderick had to give her some preventive measures to prepare her heart.Victoria's face immediately turned pale. If the testament were made by her father after his death, wouldn't the Marquez Group have fallen into Grace's hands? Cou
The morning light was exceptionally bright, as if it was a huge golden crack that split the sky, tearing through the gray sky bit by bit, illuminating the land.Victoria opened her eyes. A ray of sunlight had just pierced into her eyes, causing her to quickly close her eyes, and for the past few days, she had been crying too much, causing her eyes to be dry and sensitive. At this time, a large palm covered her eyelashes in an extremely considerate manner, preventing the sunlight from shining into her eyes again.On Roderick's warm palm, he could feel her long eyelashes blink, and lightly brush the skin on his palm as if it were made of feathers. This made the corner of his sexy mouth hooked up.He pulled up a thin layer of curtains, blocking out the sun and leaving the room in a warm room.Victoria gently blinked her eyes, and after two more blinks, her eyes became clear and bright, as though they were twinkling in stars. Roderick really loved her eyes, when she cried, it made people'
Bryson looked at her and sneered, "It's only now that you know to guard against me, don't you think it's too late?"Betty stared at him, and before long, her pretty face turned pale, "You can't do this, bastard!""Why? Don't you like a bastard?" Bryson continued to refute."You ... To me, I would never like a bastard. I like a gentleman." Betty retorted in an even worse tone.Bryson squinted, in the dark carriage, his eyes were still as sharp as ever, "So, you have a man you like?"Theobald's face appeared in Betty's mind, she thought, "I don't like him, I just admire him! Because he really fits her bill."When she raised her eyebrows she immediately blurted out, "Yes!"Bryson's face looked especially tense and unsightly under the dim blue light. He never thought that this woman would actually have a man he liked."Who is he?""There's no need to tell you!" Betty smirked.Bryson suddenly stepped on the brakes, causing Betty's body to fiercely lean forward. She immediately turned her h
Roderick station is in mourning hall who get attention greatly, have a few come to the business circles personage, come over at once and he dozen a greeting.There were a few business people who came to greet him as a form of courtesy to the CEO of the Arnold Group. Roderick bowed in return, and he stood there, just to accompany Victoria.Austin and his father had arrived at the very last moment, and Austin felt sorry for her.She had Roderick, who never left her side, accompanying her father.Grace sobbed uncontrollably under the condolences of some business partners several times. This caused Victoria to feel extremely disgusted, as her father did not need her to cry like this.After releasing a string of firecrackers in the afternoon, Kaylin took Desmond's portrait and carried his ashes to a black carriage to be buried. Victoria had not been by Desmond's side for many years already, so she did not even know where the tomb he bought was.Roderick sat on the car with Bryson.When the
In the evening, Roderick and Victoria returned together. Roderick did not tell Victoria about the lawyer because she had borne enough pain now.That night, Victoria did not let Betty come over again to take care of her because Betty was also tired last night.That night, after Roderick finished showering, he came to her room wearing a set of casual pajamas. At this time, Victoria did not refuse to accompany him at all.Lightly caressed her brows and eyes a few times, wanting to help her calm down. He also lightly patted her shoulders to coax her to enter an even deeper sleep.Early in the morning, when Betty was still sleeping, a phone call woke her up. She picked it up to see that it was again Lola, and her head was spinning. She really wasn't in the mood to go."Hello, Sister Lola, didn't I say I wanted you to help me put it off?""There's no need to push it now. You can rest for a few more days. The official announcement just now said that this episode would be delayed for another
"Then why did he go to the hospital that day? Did he faint in his office?""No, when we went to the hospital that day, it was your father who decided to go. He probably wanted to know how bad his condition was as well! That afternoon, he signed too many documents, sat for too long, and he was a little dizzy when he stood up. Only then did he get a little worried, and said that he was going to the hospital for an examination.""In other words, before my father went to the hospital, his condition was still considered stable!" Victoria asked carefully."No! There have been signs of a rebound in the company's performance recently. Mr. Marquez was even relieved and didn't get any work stimulation. I have always been by his side.""Then there's nothing wrong with his medicine, right?""The medicine is fine, every time I pour it for him, it's always those pills the doctor gave him.""It's those pills that Doctor Clare prescribed.""And then? Did you see my father faint that afternoon?""No!
Inside the master bedroom, Roderick was also not asleep. He sat in front of the French window, and looked up at the stars in the night sky. His handsome face had been shrouded in a layer of mysterious shadow.He agreed with Victoria that Desmond must have been doing his best to say something before he died. As he pointed his hand to Grace, it was sure that Grace was related to Desmond's death.If he wanted to resolve the knot in Victoria's heart, he must investigate this matter clearly as soon as possible and give Desmond justice.He called Carson. Although it was early in the morning, Carson quickly picked it up. "Hello, Mr. Arnold, did something happen?""Tomorrow morning, contact the law firm of the Marquez Group for me. Tell them that I want to cooperate with them." Roderick ordered.Carson did not waste much time, he directly answered, "Okay! I'll ask the person in charge to come and see you tomorrow morning."After hanging up the phone, the corner of Roderick's mouth curled up i
An hour later, Roderick went upstairs and gently knocked on Victoria's room. The sadness on Victoria's face was still very obvious, but it seemed that her emotions had stabilized. Betty looked at her with eyes filled with sadness and grievance."Come down!" Roderick said to them."Alright, we'll be right down." Betty replied.Victoria's eyes were red and swollen from crying, she only raised them slightly, not looking at Roderick as Roderick gently closed the door.Betty got up and went into the bathroom, bringing a warm towel out. She gently lifted Victoria's face, and used a towel to wipe the tears off her face. Victoria closed her eyes, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was pale, and she looked extremely haggard."Victoria, we can secretly investigate your father's death, but now, you have to think about your own body! Franklin needs you." Betty explained to her.Victoria and Betty had chatted for an hour, she had vented her sorrow. She hated Grace, and she felt unworthy for h
Along the way back to Roderick's villa, Victoria continued to be silent, and it was unknown what she was thinking. When they arrived, the first thing Roderick wanted to do was to contact his good friend Bryson, and then ask him to contact Betty, so that she could console and comfort Victoria.As a close friend, she definitely knew how to let Victoria vent the grief in her heart.Roderick stood outside the courtyard and called Bryson."Hey! Roderick, you've returned back?" Bryson asked directly.He would have known that Roderick was abroad, but it was not because Roderick disclosed it to him, but because he got it from his brother Lennon. Because his brother was concerned about his female student, Cassie."Yes! We returned home. Today Victoria's father passed away, and do you have Betty's number? Take her over to comfort Victoria. She's very sad right now." Roderick's voice was somewhat heavy and hoarse.Bryson's tone became more serious, "I have her number, I'll contact her right now
