Everyone turned their heads at that, only to see a well-built, adult man leaning against the door with an expressionless face. A faint disappointment was written all over his god-like, handsome face.As soon as she noticed him, she intuitively hung her head low in shame.Nasi opened her eyes as well. In fact, she was long awake and was just pretending to be asleep.When she heard the ignorant crowd siding with her mother in taunting her adopted sister, she felt good inside.The man’s flat voice caused her to wake up in shock.The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the man at the door. Why was the CEO of Dice Group here?!When Lisa saw him, she completely froze, as if she had been struck by lightning.With her keen eyes, she noticed that his features were identical to Youyou’s.Actually, they were far from just ‘identical’. Those eyes, that high nose bridge, and even those thin, beautiful lips – they were exactly the same as Youyou’s!How would she believe it if one were to tell her
“Oh, my, Shishi, this is a big matter. Why didn’t you tell me beforehand? When did you start dating Master Azhe…” Everyone could hear the vexation in her voice despite the smile on her face. “Then, Shishi, I’ll entrust your sister’s care to you!”“One million is too much for me, and I don’t have it!” Yuna refused without thinking, and then, after a brief pause, she coldly added, “Please get this straight; even if I have the money, I won’t help!”Lisa’s face stiffened at her adopted daughter’s immediate rebuff, and she almost turned on her.However, since the man was present, she could only suppress her anger. Turning to him, she pleaded, “Master, as you can see, Nana is Shishi’s sister, and we urgently need this money. What do you think about the 1,000,000…”Ignoring Lisa completely, Weston bowed his head toward Yuna and asked, “What do you think?”It was obvious that he was asking for her input with this gesture.There was no hiding the loving indulgence on his face. Clearly, as long
Mr.Shire sat on the bench in a huff. Incensed, he took one look at Nasi after slapping the bedside table and said, “Let her be! She has no dignity left, right? Since she’s so shameless, she doesn’t need to mend her face! She should’ve thought about her pride and her face beforehand! There’s nothing I can do now…”After a short pause, he said with much pain and resolve, “Lisa, let’s divorce! I can’t handle you as a wife or raise a daughter like yours!”There was a deafening silence in the room.Everyone was shocked.His daughter covered her mouth in absolute fright as unabated tears rolled down her cheeks, while Lisa’s face crumbled at the mention of divorce.…Youyou was reading the newspaper while leaning against the headboard when he heard scurrying footsteps drawing near. He had always been on high alert, so without further ado, he threw the newspaper aside and quickly lay down in the bed while sending a signal to his agent through his eyes.The little lad played sleep with his eye
“Mommy, why didn’t you come home for two days?! I was scared of being alone…”Youyou lay his small face on her shoulder. His tiny lips opened and closed, letting out a youthful voice that was crying and trembling incessantly. He sniffled with his hoarse but tiny voice; anyone who heard this would surely have a heartache.“I’m sorry,” Yuna wailed.“I forgive you,” Youyou cooned. “But who is this behind you?”Yuna had no clue that Youyou already knew of the man’s identity in reality, so when the little lad asked about him, she was at a loss on how to reply.How should she introduce the father to the son? Should she say ‘Youyou, this is your daddy’? Surely, the child would freak out.For six years, she had not once divulged any information pertaining to his biological father to him. If she were to bring up this subject suddenly and tell him that he had a father all along, her child would naturally have issues accepting this fact.Once she realized this, her face sank. She subconsciously
Sitting in the room for a while, youyou eventually looked up at his mother and pouted. “Mommy, I’m hungry. My tummy is growling.” He rubbed his little tummy and blinked piteously at her with his sparkling, doe eyes.Gently, she quickly asked, “What does Youyou want to eat? I will buy it for you from the supermart!”A number of 24-hour convenience stores and cake shops could be found around the hospital and just across the street. Getting food was very convenient.“It’s late now, though; I’m worried!” His eyes lit up suddenly. Clapping his palms together in an asking-for-favor form, he requested to Mr.Hanlin, “Principal, if it’s alright with you, please accompany my mother!”The agent easily got the hint and nodded. Yuna was rather embarrassed and tried to reject, “Thank you, but it’s not necessary! It’s late. Principal should be home by now, right?”“It’s not late yet. I can accompany you to buy food, send you up, and then head home. There’s no trouble at all! I like Youyou and treat
A/N: hope you all enjoyed the holidays. I know I sure enjoyed my break. ——————————“I was also unaware about you.”Youyou continued in a heavy tone, “When I first saw you on a magazine, I honestly was agitated; I felt aggrieved, and full of resentment.”He paused and, lifting his face that had a forlornly scornful look, continued, “I was agitated to see my biological father. An outstanding man—but, where were you in the past six years? I regret to inform you that I won’t hand my mommy over to you!”Weston’s brows became knotted in deep agony.His heart was constricted almost to the point of suffocation with the little lad’s accusation.It was pain. His heart was hurting so badly it was, in fact, like being crushed under a huge rock, and he could barely breathe.Initially, Weston was more amazed than surprised with this son of his whose intelligence was above average.His children might be twins, but Youyou was very unlike his brother. Youyou was more mature and sturdier, and this matu
Youyou said in an unfriendly manner, “How will you care for her? Don’t you still have a fiancée? My mommy is a treasure to me. If you want to care for her, you should be legitimate! Are you taking marriage lightly?”He completely understood the concept of legitimacy despite his young age.“You’re not thinking that my mommy is a woman you can play with as you please, are you?” He folded his arms arrogantly, his eyes distant. “With me around, don’t even think of bullying my mommy. Try it if you dare!”He warned menacingly. One should not doubt his intention of not letting off lightly those who dared bully his mommy.The conversation between the father and son resembled a negotiation. They were already in a state of war.Weston stated flatly, “I don’t deny your capabilities for one bit when you said that you will protect your mommy, but when you grow up and have your own wife and kid, your mommy will be left alone again – has this ever crossed your mind? Can you bear to let this happen?”
Youyou repeated his message again. It was only when the man nodded one more time that, with a pout, he gingerly drew a step closer.One step and then another. This went on until his father’s elegant, athletic arms reached across his armpits and powerfully embraced him.The little lad’s face flushed scalding red in that instance.Weston easily propped up the little boy’s buttocks with his left arm.The child was too skinny.He wondered if the child had a rare case of malabsorption or was suffering from nutritional imbalance. Possibly, that stupid woman did not nourish him adequately.Children his age are still developing and should eat more.In this regard, the mother and son are alike. Both are too thin.Little did Weston know that the boy had always been sickly and physically weak since birth, and his body could not take in all the nutrients from the abundant nutritious food his mother was feeding him.The little lad was as light as a fluffy rice ball in his arms. Weston lowered his
