She looked at Tristian and said, "Tristian, how did you come?"Tristian said, "I didn't dare stay in the hospital for long during the World Banquet. There were many people here, and he was afraid of causing chaos if someone recognized him from time to time."Elianna nodded, "After all, he is a public figure, and he should be more careful... By the way, Owen should change his medication today, right?"Tristian, "Hmm."Elianna sat down by the bed and looked at "Owen" with closed eyes. Suddenly, she lowered her voice and said, "Today, I went to the kindergarten and learned something... That 'Zack' is my eldest son, Owen's biological brother!"The little one on the bed, his eyelids flickered, and he gradually woke up.Waking up, he heard Elianna's voice, however, his eyelids remained closed and he couldn't open them for a moment.Tristian tensed up for a moment and asked, "What? Are you sure?"Elianna said, "When I was in kindergarten, I met a mother of a little boy. Due to various misund
Elianna held Zack.In his mother's arms, Zack was very brave. Changing the dressing was a painful thing, but after enduring the first three days of wound cleaning, the wound has almost healed now, at least, it is no longer so red and swollen.The wound caused by the fork stabbing was mainly deep, and unfortunately, it happened to pierce through a major artery, directly puncturing a blood vessel. However, the wound was not large and healed quickly.Elianna asked, "Miss Nurse, will this injury leave a scar in the future?"The nurse smiled and said, "After stitching a few stitches, there will definitely be scars, but children have a fast cell metabolism. As they grow up, this scar will gradually fade away and can hardly be noticed if not examined carefully."Elianna said, "Hmm. Owen was so vain. All along, we were very careful, afraid of leaving scars and ruining our appearance."Zack listened and felt very happy in his heart.The scar on his neck, I'm afraid, would not fade away for a y
Amy thought for a moment and said, "Let's play Big Watermelon & Small Watermelon! Do you understand the rules of the game? If I say 'Big Watermelon,' you have to make the gesture for 'Small Watermelon.' If I say 'Small Watermelon,' you have to make the gesture for 'Big Watermelon.' If you get it wrong, you have to drink as a penalty."Joseph sneered coldly, "Childish."Elianna, however, laughed and said, "How fun! Joseph, play with me! If you lose, you drink, and if I lose, Amy will take the punishment for me."Joseph said, "It was you who wanted to drink, not me."Elianna said, "I meant I wanted to have a drink, but not to get drunk. I'm feeling down, and I want you to accompany me to have fun. Otherwise, you're not allowed to go back tonight!"After finishing speaking, she gestured the size of the watermelon and familiarized herself with it. Then, with a smile on her face, she said, "Come on!"Amy was clapping her hands and shouting commands on the side.Joseph felt annoyed but had
The car sped into the tunnel in an instant.Joseph grabbed Elianna's collar abruptly and pulled her towards him.In the car, it was pitch black.Elianna only felt the man's hand tightly gripping her chin.Then, his hot and burning lips pressed gently against the corner of her lips.Elianna's pupils contracted for a moment.The next second, Joseph's long arm wrapped around the back of her neck, while his other hand held onto her waist, claiming her lips even more deeply.Joseph's kiss was extraordinary, with an aggressive approach.Between his lips, there was a hint of the refreshing aroma of mint from the cocktail.The always thin and cold lips, also acquired a slightly warm temperature due to being drunk.Elianna opened her eyes and collided with the man's deep and infinite gaze. With his kiss, in an instant, she felt like she was electrified, a surge of electricity running down her spine.She instinctively tried to break free, but the man's eyes flashed with a sharpness, sensing her
She saw that he was so drunk that he was incoherent and saying some crazy things.Elianna didn't want to get involved with a drunk person, "You... go to bed early! I'm leaving!"Anyway, she had already cracked his phone password, so she would find another opportunity in the future, or she would patiently wait for Zack to come back and find a way to see the child.Her sixth sense told her.If she stayed any longer, there might be "danger"!However, it must be said that her intuition was still too dull!By the time she realized this, it was already too late!Joseph held her hand tightly and said, "Where are you going? Are you still trying to hide? I won't give you another chance to escape!"The two people were so close that the man's hot breath brushed against her face without missing a single spot.She increasingly felt that he seemed to be losing control."I didn't allow you to leave me anymore."Joseph tightly held onto her shoulders, "I wouldn't give you another chance to leave!"Th
Both of them were covered in cold sweat. Looking at her body, it was covered in various marks - blue, black, purple, and red. These seemed to bear witness to everything that happened last night.How could she be on his bed?He had always had exceptional self-control, and for the past five years, he had never been close to any woman.Regarding the memories of last night, there are not many retained. No matter how carefully he tries to recall, all memories only linger on a glass of cocktail. After he drank that glass of alcohol, the memories abruptly ceased.He even suspected if she had tampered with that glass of wine.But... not to that extent.Joseph slowly sat up and leaned against the headboard, catching a glimpse of the phone lying under the bed.He furrowed his brows slightly, slowly sat up, and was about to roll off the bed.The woman's seemingly soft and boneless hands lazily wrapped around his waist.Joseph's body suddenly stiffened, motionless.He lowered his head, the person
Joseph said, "Ms. Carrington, do you think that only you suffered from this kind of thing?"He gave her a meaningful look and said, "No matter how you look at it, I am the one who suffered more."Elianna furrowed her brows and asked, "What does that mean?"Joseph bent down, with both arms resting on the edge of the bed, and said, "Do you think I wanted to touch you? Isn't it you who had ill intentions, getting me drunk, that's the cause. My drunken behavior is the effect, and this cause and effect was created by you alone. And now, you're turning around and calling me a beast? How innocent am I?"Elianna suddenly choked and felt a little guilty.What he said made so much sense that she couldn't argue back.Joseph said coldly, "I see, it was you who plotted against me, so you drugged me, it was all a scheme!"Elianna, like a cat with its tail stepped on, exclaimed in frustration, "Am I plotting against you? Joseph, don't flatter yourself! Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but there
Elianna sighed, "Aunt, I thought I had made my attitude clear enough during the Vale family banquet."Vivienne just smiled and didn't get angry. As the daughter-in-law of the Vale family, she had exemplified the word "propriety" throughout her life.She looked at Leonard and said to him, "Leonard, you go wait for me in the car. I have some things I want to talk to Ms. Carrington about."Leonard hesitated for a moment, wanting to speak but then stopping himself. However, after a while, he turned around and walked away.Vivienne took Elianna's hand and walked to a deserted corner, without much preamble, she got straight to the point."Ms. Carrington, I think you should know the significance of the Carrington and Vale families' union. I know that young people no longer believe in parental orders or matchmaker's words. But as the saying goes, men fear choosing the wrong profession, and women fear marrying the wrong man. You... once married a non-human, so you should understand how importa
Leonard immediately let go of Joseph and walked over, saying, "Elianna, are you awake?"She didn't know when she woke up, nor how much of the conversation between the two people she had overheard.Elianna rubbed her temples, clearly feeling a bit of a headache.She instinctively pulled the thin blanket closer to her body, took a brief rest, and the alcohol seemed to sober her up a bit. Naturally, she also realized how disheveled she was at the moment.Elianna knowingly asked, "Was I drunk?"Even if she drank until she was completely drunk, she wouldn't black out. Therefore, as she woke up, she gradually began to recall that she had been drinking and afterwards, she became crazy drunk.Joseph said expressionlessly, "Yes, you were drunk. Originally, I intended to arrange a designated driver to take you home, but who knew your alcohol tolerance was so disappointing. You went crazy at my house and..."He also vomited all over him.
The butler, seeing the situation, immediately rushed over and reached out to stop him, saying, "Mr. Leonard, please wait!"Leonard suddenly angrily waved away the hand he extended, saying, "Get lost!"The butler was dismissed to the side.Leonard climbed up the stairs.Joseph hesitated for a moment and then followed closely behind, going upstairs.Second floor.Leonard saw the servant just coming out of a room, without thinking, he immediately walked over. The servant, seeing this, became somewhat alarmed and asked, "Who are you?"Leonard casually pushed her aside and pushed the door wide open.In the guest room.Elianna was lying in bed, covered with a blanket.Leonard walked over and saw that she was fast asleep, completely unconscious. He furrowed his brows slightly and reached out his hand, intending to lift the blanket.The next secondBehind him, a hand reached out and tightly grabbed his wrist
Joseph carried Elianna into the door.In his arms.Elianna, on the other hand, kept looking up at him with her face raised.Suddenly,She said proudly, "My son grew up and turned out to be so handsome!"Joseph, "..."Elianna, "However, my son was the cutest when he was little!"Joseph, "..."Elianna, "Baby, be good and let mommy give you a kiss quickly."She hooked his shoulders, cradled his face, and kissed him over and over again.Joseph suppressed the anger that filled his chest, but had nowhere to vent it.He was still doubting why she wanted to recognize Zack as her godson and what her true purpose was.Or perhaps, it was just another means for her to get close to him.Was she really drunk and talking nonsense, or was she pretending to be drunk to take advantage of him?If he was really drunk, what could he argue with a drunk woman for?A south-facing room on the second floo
Joseph furrowed his brows.He saw her tongue starting to knot, her eyes wide open but looking misty.Joseph said with a headache, "Sit down and don't move for now."He had just grabbed her shoulders and forcefully made her sit down, but the next second, she "sprang" up again, saying, "I want to go home!"Joseph interrupted her, "I will take you home!"He grabbed her hand and pulled her up.Elianna stumbled and took two steps, her balance wavering as her body leaned backwards.Joseph walked over and grabbed her waist, coldly saying, "Can you walk properly?"Without giving Elianna a chance to answer, he bent his right arm from her waist side and hoisted her onto his shoulder."What were you doing..."The man's strong shoulders were just pressing against her abdomen.Elianna drank alcohol and just finished eating pastas, feeling a bit uncomfortable. Her stomach was being tightly pressed, and she felt a wave of
Elianna asked, "Is the pastas done?"Joseph resealed the wine and said, "Finish your meal quickly, I will have someone take you home.""Oh!"Elianna stood up, and in that moment, her blood flowed and she felt a slight stumble beneath her feet, her body even swaying, as if she was floating lightly.Oh no...She seemed a little tipsy.That's how high-concentration brandy was.She was clearly drinking very slowly, and even added ice cubes to dilute it, but... she had already started to get tipsy.Joseph saw that she was a little unsteady and reached out his hand to support her. "Are you drunk?"Elianna pulled away from his hand, clearly repulsed by his touch. "No! I wasn't drunk."Joseph withdrew his hand and stared at her incredulously.Elianna concealed her drunken state, barely maintaining her balance as she walked towards the dining table. Upon seeing the bowl of pastas placed on the table, she approached
Elvis looked at Joseph awkwardly.Joseph said, "I could only make plain pastas."Elianna said, "Then thank you for your trouble."After speaking, she sat down on the sofa.Joseph said to Elvis, "You go first."Elvis said, "Mr. Kensington, do you need me to lend a hand?"Joseph said, "No need."It's just a bowl of assorted vegetarian pastas, without many complicated steps, just takes some time.What is this called? It is easy to ask for the gods, but difficult to send them away.The "god" he had invited could only be sent away by himself.He could certainly tell that Elianna was deliberately giving him a hard time, but since she had helped him pacify his son, it was also a favor he owed her.Elvis smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go back first. If you have any instructions, feel free to call and contact me anytime."Joseph, "You haven't rested much these past few days, go back and get some sleep early.
Zack said, "Only when Owen and I turn eight years old, can we apply to live with Mommy and Judge Uncle, in order to let that man know the truth?"Elianna nodded, "Yes."Zack nodded hesitantly.Elianna helped him lie back on the bed and gently said, "Once we've eaten, shall we have a good sleep?"Zack became nervous and asked, "Mommy, are you leaving?"Elianna said, "I promised you that you could see me anytime you wanted."Zack's eyes revealed a hint of surprise and delight, "Really?"Elianna, "Really, Mommy promised you."After speaking, she extended her hand and said, "High five."Zack and she high-fived, and then closed their eyes in peace.Elianna didn't stand up and walk out of the door until he fell asleep.Joseph stood at the door.Elianna's heart skipped a beat as she thought Joseph should be downstairs, but suddenly he appeared upstairs out of nowhere. She had no idea how well the door insul
Zack suddenly burst into silly laughter, opened his mouth, wanting to shout "Mommy". However, he didn't have enough strength to even speak, and could only weakly say, "I want to go home..."Elianna's heart trembled for a moment, feeling inexplicably melancholic.On the side, two doctors smiled helplessly and said, "little scion, you are already at home now..."They only thought that the child was extremely hungry, confused in the mind, and started speaking nonsense.Only Elianna could understand which "home" the little one was referring to.Elianna coaxed, "Would you like to eat something?"She saw a bowl of nutritious porridge on the bedside table.I was so hungry that it caused me to be unable to eat properly now, I can only drink a little nutritional porridge.It seems that this time he was determined to sever the father-son relationship with Joseph.Maybe because he had been fasting for a long time, the little guy ha
Elianna suddenly became serious and said, "Well, you shouldn't say such hurtful words either."Owen lowered his head and said in a pitiful tone, "Mommy, I know I was wrong! Next time I see him, I will definitely apologize to him."Elianna patted his little head and said, "You were brothers, good friends, so you couldn't hurt his feelings."Owen nodded obediently, "Mommy, don't worry, I know now! I will never hurt his heart again in the future."Elianna gently embraced him.Owen nestled in her arms and asked, "So... when did that guy come back?"Elianna worriedly said, "I don't know..."She didn't know when they would be able to reunite as mother and son again after this separation.Tristian said, "Nannan, don't overthink so much and rest early."Elianna nodded.The next day.Elianna took Owen back to the Carrington Group.Three days later.She had just left the company and was about to go home
