After formulating his plan, Griffith was determined to see it through. Once Snowflake's hundred-day banquet was over, they would take her on a global adventure. Charlotte chose Amserdan as their first destination because it was where Griffith had been stationed for over a year before. She wanted to see the city where he had stayed, then they would go to Copenhazen before heading to the remote Faraway Islands at the edge of the world.On the day of departure, Charlotte was already more than three months postpartum and had recovered quite well."Mrs. Wilson, here's the hot cocoa you requested," a flight attendant said to Charlotte.Charlotte, wearing a fitted knit dress, was sitting in her seat reading a magazine. Upon hearing the voice, she set down the magazine and thanked the flight attendant. Once the flight attendant left, she picked up the cup of hot cocoa and took a deep breath. It smelled wonderful.Instead of drinking it right away, she glanced at the person next to her. Gri
Wearing a bathrobe, he approached her from behind. His legs inadvertently touched her back.Charlotte shifted slightly forward, then looked up and smiled at him."What are you doing? You haven't even dried yourself properly," she said.Griffith leaned down and lifted her chin.Charlotte blinked and then nudged his hand with her chin."Get up," he said.Charlotte got up. Before she could straighten up, Griffith lifted her up and tossed her onto the bed. She instinctively tried to get up, but he pressed her shoulders down, asserting dominance. He had just taken a shower, so his body was still warm.As he drew closer, Charlotte's face flushed.She lay between his arms, turned her head, and could see the ring on his finger. It was the matching ring they had exchanged before they left, she had one on her hand too. He kissed her neck, causing a tickling sensation, making her laugh and squirm."What are you doing?" she asked.Griffith paused and bit her lip."Didn't you say you'd w
People always say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but Charlotte suddenly felt that sex after childbirth was the pinnacle of intimacy. Before giving birth, Charlotte had read many posts discussing marital matters. Some talked about becoming more harmonious, while others mentioned losing feelings altogether. Now that she had experienced it, she felt she had to write a post about it.Depriving oneself and your husband for too long would lead to overwhelming consequences. That was the conclusion she had in mind.Snowflake had already eaten a meal beforehand, but she needed frequent meals. Midway through, she needed to be fed, and the nanny knocked on the door for a long time. At that time, Charlotte was still sweaty in Griffith's arms. The two of them weren't done with their activities yet, and Griffith was considerate enough to let Charlotte rest for a bit.The nanny said, "Madam, are you feeding the baby now, or should I give her formula?"Charlotte loved Snowflake so much
"Who said she doesn't have hair? Look, it's grown a lot!" Charlotte gently touched Snowflake's head.Griffith noticed that Charlotte couldn't stand anyone saying anything negative about their daughter, not even neutral comments; they had to be praising her.He looked at her and said, "Why do you like her so much?"Charlotte turned her head to look at him."Don't you like her?""I do."She lowered her head and stroked the baby's eyebrows. "She's our child and looks like us; isn't that wonderful?"Griffith felt touched by her words. Then teasingly said, "Didn't William say she doesn't look like you?""Don't listen to that brat!" Charlotte raised her voice, startling Snowflake.Charlotte quickly cooed Snowflake, feeling sorry for frightening her."Sorry, sorry, Mommy scared you."Snowflake stopped momentarily, let out a sigh, and then continued suckling. Charlotte's heart melted. No matter how much she loved her, it never seemed enough. Suddenly, Griffith's phone rang. He quick
Snowflake had eaten her fill and nestled comfortably in Charlotte's arms, sleeping soundly before being handed over to the nanny. After all, her hardworking parents still had to continue their work.After Griffith returned from dropping off their daughter, Charlotte lay in bed facing away from him. He didn't say anything and just quietly lay down beside her. Neither of them moved until, after a while, Charlotte suddenly stirred, turning to face him and clenching her teeth."It's still early, and you're already sleeping?" she exclaimed.Griffith pretended to close his eyes.Charlotte reached out to tickle him. But before she could, he swiftly turned and pinned her down. He kissed her and teased, "It's not like you were begging and saying you'd had enough, right?""I-I was just afraid you wouldn't be satisfied!" she retorted.Before she could finish her sentence, he pressed down on her waist, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter. The room filled with playful banter, then q
9 a.m.The sun was bright and beautiful as she emerged from the restaurant. Charlotte faced the blue sky, stretched, then turned around and linked arms with Griffith, who was carrying her bag. The duo leisurely walked down the street.The sunlight poured through the cracks of the leaves, falling on the ground and dappling into patches of golden light. Charlotte walked through them playfully, enjoying the freedom of being unrecognized by anyone."Griffith, take a picture of me."When she wanted a photo, she would look for Griffith, and he would always comply with her requests."A couple's photo?" he asked.Charlotte stood under the tree, posing perfectly. She closed her eyes, facing the sunlight filtering through the leaves, and said, "No need, I want a photo of myself. Just find the right angle for me."Got it.He's just a tool.Griffith positioned himself and took several shots, while Charlotte continuously changed her poses. She trusted Griffith's photography skills a lot; a
"He didn't even know I'm married. He just came over to ask a question." On the street, Charlotte looked left and right, coaxing her husband, who was feeling jealous. The cup of coffee she wanted was in Griffith's hand, and he had already drunk most of it. Charlotte peeked at the cup, at a loss for words. "Leave some for me."Griffith replied, "After I finish the cup, I'll give it to you. You can use it to take photos."Tsk. Seeing that coaxing wasn't working, she simply acted spoiled. She stepped on the stones on the side of the road, climbing onto his back and kissing his cheek.Griffith reached out, pulling her face away, not allowing her to kiss him.Charlotte skillfully removed his hand from her face. Then, she wrapped one hand around his face, turning it toward her. She then gave him a bite on the mouth, neither too light nor too heavy.He winced slightly.Charlotte loosened her grip a bit, then used her head to nudge him. "Surrender yet?"They stared at each other at close
Charlotte regretted not having paparazzi around. However, shortly after, she and Griffith became a hot topic on social media. They were trending with the hashtag ‘#HowManyTimesDidCharlotteAndGriffithKiss?’.Apart from this, countless discussions about their kissing emerged, including bizarre topics like whether kissing could help with weight loss.Ava called to complain, "Are you two mad? In just a five-hundred-meter street, from the beginning to the end, you kissed each other in various ways. Even the most open-minded liberals would be bewildered by your antics!"At that moment, Charlotte was lying on the bed, looking at various pictures. She commented on each one, even considering paying the paparazzi who took nice pictures of them. It wasn't easy for them to follow them to a foreign country.Hearing Ava's complaint, she didn't blush but was happy to share."Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Oh, Ava, I've personally tested it. Really, ever since we had our baby, I seem t
Tanya's previous full-length mirror was still usable, but because it was small, she had to walk a bit farther every time she used it. Eli had long wanted to replace it.Little did he know, she got rid of many things in the house to make room for the new large sofa for him, including that old full-length mirror."How do you like it? Surprised?" He patted the mirror.Tanya smiled wryly and pointed to the large sofa. "And you? Surprised?" Only then did Eli notice fewer small items in the living room and a large new sofa. He suddenly chuckled. It was quite nice.He thought of her, and she thought of him. This winter was truly warm.Tanya abandoned the egg tart and hugged him again. "Oh no, this mirror is so big. There's nowhere to put it."Eli carried her with one hand and moved the mirror to the corner with the other. Sitting on the sofa, he thought for a moment, then hugged her and said, "Tanya, let's move to a bigger place."Tanya knew he had been thinking about this all along.
Eli found it amusing. He pushed the head of the small money jar and couldn't help but say, "You gold digger! You love money so much, then why did you give the check I gave you to Soraya?"Tanya blinked and chuckled. "I only acquire wealth in the proper way. To be honest…" She pondered for a moment, then turned to look at him. "Probably because, at that time, I was just too fond of you like I am now."Hearing this, Eli felt a pang of heartache and leaned down to kiss her forehead. Tanya smiled, moved the gifts aside, and made some space for him.Just as they were about to talk, Eli's phone vibrated continuously. It turned out that Bridget was sending over the detailed preparation process for the wedding.Tanya scrolled through it and suddenly felt overwhelmed. Eli looked at it and also felt a headache coming. The two glanced at each other, sighed simultaneously, and leaned back.After they publicly disclosed their relationship, life continued as usual but became busier due to the w
Eli being married was shocking enough, but then his wife was hiding right in the office. In the next half hour, Tanya heard wailing from all around.The atmosphere in their office was quite good, and everyone got along well. After coming clean, everyone joked around and teased each other."Nia, don't forget Mr. Ted, he's been cursing at you all along!""Yeah, he's been calling you a fool!""I heard it, I can testify!"Ted was furious and rushed out to hit someone. Tanya followed with laughter.Before leaving work, Amy indeed brought the cake and candies, sharing them with everyone in the building. Thus, the entire group gave them their blessings.From the office to the parking lot, Tanya received blessings. When she got into Eli's car, her heart was still pounding.Eli was happily eating his candy, feeling good. Especially now that he didn't have to sneak around anymore, he even turned the steering wheel effortlessly.Tanya, holding the cake, asked him in surprise, "Were these
Tanya walked out of the room with her guard down and came face to face with Ted's sneaky expression. She paused.Ted gasped, his brain instantly turning blank.He looked at Tanya, covered his mouth with his left hand, and placed his right hand over the left with his eyes gradually widening.God! This was insane!Tanya regained her composure and glanced in Eli's direction. Eli remained calm, glanced at the fruit plate on the table, and said, "Should we take some down to share with your colleagues?"Tanya nodded. She glanced at the still-disheveled Ted and kindly handed him a tangerine."Sir?"Ted swallowed, looked at Tanya, then at Eli. Finally, he settled his gaze on the tangerine in her hand, mechanically accepting it.Tanya turned to look at Eli. 'Look, you've scared my superior.'Eli shrugged."I'm leaving," she said.Eli nodded and escorted her to the door.Ted followed them out and was sent into the elevator by his boss. As the elevator doors closed, he let out a long
The deep blue bedsheet was neatly spread out. But the two pillows lacked pillowcases, exposed in a sorry state.Eli placed his hands on his belt and turned to look at Tanya. "Is this also your doing?"Tanya leaned against the door frame, only poking her head in, smiling sheepishly."I accidentally drooled while sleeping that day and dirtied the pillowcase. Knowing that you're a neat freak, I took them all off to wash," she said. She raised her hand and swore, "The pillowcases have been washed and are in the cabinet at home."Eli wasn't interested in the pillowcases' whereabouts. He remembered when Amy called him, saying Tanya missed him and wanted to touch the sheets and pillows after waking up.Nonsense!He took a deep breath, then turned his head to Tanya with a frightening smile. Tanya realized the danger and tried to run, but he grabbed her by the waist."Hey, what are you doing?" she said.Eli tossed her onto the bed and followed suit."What are you doing?!""Collecting
Tanya sat upright in the office. Eli stood before her with his hands behind his back. "Come on, explain."Tanya's eyes darted around. "Do you believe me? It's because I missed you too much. When I came to your place, I couldn't help but take away everything related to you." Eli scoffed. "Including the toilet paper?"Tanya pondered seriously.Eli tapped the coffee machine and pointed to the plug that had been pulled out, saying, "If the coffee machine wasn't too heavy, would you have taken that too?"'This brat has no conscience at all. Does she even understand what a cold shoulder is?'While he was reminiscing in her room, she made a fortune in his office!Tanya blinked and gave him an embarrassed smile. "If you think about it from another angle, I love you deeply. If we couldn't reconcile and you came back to see all this, you would hate me. Hate represents love, and love means you can't forget me. My obsession is so deep; I want to stay in your heart forever."Eli fell silen
"You should buy something while visiting. Do you have enough money in your account? If not, I will transfer some to you," Mrs. Moran said on the phone.Tanya didn't want money; she just wanted to hear some advice. She knew her parents' financial situation wasn't good. Due to illness, her stepfather had retired from his position as a butler of the Sterling family. Although the Sterlings provided a retirement package, Mr. Moran was getting old, and he had a son. She heard that his son's business had lost a considerable amount of money in recent years. As a stepdaughter, she had already received enough help from them, so how could she ask for more money?During her university days, she didn't ask her family for money. If she could find a part-time job, she would, and if not, she would endure it just to avoid causing her mother trouble."Mom, I don't need money. I have enough."When Mrs. Moran heard this, she felt even more sorry for her.Since her ex-husband was useless, Tanya suffer
After breakfast, Eli called Bridget."Why did you send her a check? Do you have nothing better to do?"Bridget had just arrived home and begun playing poker with a few old friends.She threw out a card, rolled her eyes, and said, "It's the first time I've met my daughter-in-law! What's wrong with giving her some money!"Eli was speechless."Madam, you came up and threw 500,000 dollars just like that. Aren't you afraid of scaring people?""What should I do? Throw 50,000 dollars instead? That's too stingy."Eli was speechless. Holding onto the railing, he glanced downstairs and saw Tanya ironing her coat in the living room."I almost got dumped because you caused a scene," he joked.Bridget threw the cards while chuckling. "It's good to be dumped. With your unruly behavior, someone should make you suffer a bit.""Are you really my mother?""If you still want to be a good son, hurry up and go through the procedures, live a proper life with Tanya, and try to give me a grandson n
"What did Her Majesty tell you?"Tanya nearly lost her composure, fighting back laughter.Bridget said nothing more as she left with Benjamin, leaving Tanya and Eli to return to the apartment. The journey back was silent, with Tanya deep in thought. Upon entering, Eli halted her at the entrance.Exhaling deeply, Tanya reached into her pocket and withdrew a check. Eli's gaze fell upon it, noting it was only for $500,000. As he moved to take it, Tanya tucked it back into her pocket. On the bar, a spread of breakfast awaited them - fried eggs, sausages, fruits, and vegetables. Despite the inviting display, Tanya's attention was on Eli."Don't you want breakfast?"With the situation still unclear, Eli's appetite waned. Nonetheless, knowing Bridget's nature, he remained calm. Seating himself opposite Tanya, he nibbled at a sausage, noticing her lack of interest."Is everything alright?" he asked, concerned.Tanya shook her head.The oversized sandwich Bridget had ordered had already
