During the evening, Alex and Jason ask Darren to the Mint bar with them. However, Darren didn’t expect to see Stella there. The moment Darren saw her he was pissed off!Darren made sure to sit far away from her.“I have no idea why she is there, but you guys are friends for year, so driving her away would not be appropriate.” Alex said as he walked over to his side and gave him a pat on the shoulder in an attempt to comfort him.“Since, you know she was here, why did you ask her to come over? When she and I were involved in a rumor, Charlotte refused to speak to me for several days.” Darren shot him a cold glance.Alex ignored him, put a smile, and returned to Stella. “Stella, now that you have resigned, are you going back to New York sometime in the future?”“Who said I had plans to leave this place? I’m going to settle down in Los Angeles and never leave again.”Darren was not certain if she did it on purpose, but he noticed Stella looking at him when she spoke.“You don’t even have
he time Charlotte woke up, she heard someone crying. The cries were deafening, and yet it was filled with vitality.“Charlotte, I am glad that you are finally awake. Look! You have a lovely daughter now.” Lilian said as she held the baby in her arms. Her voice was filled with joy, and excitement was written all over her face.Charlotte turned her gaze towards her and saw the newborn baby in Lillian’s arms. The Little Angel was so small, and she was leading against Lillian’s chest. Upon taking a looking a closer look at the baby’s face, Charlotte couldn’t help but frown a little. Her face was wrinkled, and she didn’t look cute at all.“Charlotte, are you okay? Are you still in pain?” Darren asked as he approached her. His eyes were bloodshot and one could tell that he hadn’t a wink of sleep.When Darren touched her hand, Charlotte moved it away, trembling all over. “Where are you last night?” she asked.“I’m sorry for being away, Charlotte. Stella was involved in a car accident. Jason
When Lillian arrived at the hospital, she saw Monica Greem coming out of Charlotte’s ward.A frown appeared on her face at the site of her. “Why are you here?” Lillian asked.Monica raised the gift basket in her hand and said in an aggrieved tone, “I heard that your daughter-in-law has just given birth, so I came to visit her. But it seems that she doesn’t want to accept my gift.”“How can she accept it? Ever since your daughter returned last year, she has been pestering my son and provoking my daughter-in-law. Aren’t you aware of that? As her mother its your job to teach her some manners. It doesn’t matter take a genius to know that its wrong to steal someone else husband.”“How could my daughter do something like that? Besides, if Darren and Charlotte love each other, how could my daughters split them? It was clear that there was something wrong with their relationship. Don’t just put all the blame on my daughter.” The more Monica spoke, the angrier she became.Her entailment and sh
But for some reason, her body stopped her.“Mrs. Venzor, doesn’t want to see you. Please go back.” Tia and Rosy stood in front of the door, glaring at Stella.“You are nobody, but Charlotte’s bodyguard. Your job is to protect her, not to bar her guests.”“How can you call yourself a guest. Mrs. Venzor doesn’t even know you.” Rosy fired back with an apparent disgust.The bodyguard's attitude made Stella's hackles rise. However, she could not lose her temper, so she just gritted her teeth and forced a smile, “Please tell Charlotte that I appreciate Darren leaving her behind at night to see me.”“Our boss thought you were going to die, so he went there to mourn you,” Rosy retorted with a sneer.Monica couldn’t stand at it anymore, stood in front of Stella, and shouted, “Why are you so rude and mean? How do you curse my daughter? Who do you think you are?”“There is nothing wrong with what I just said. That night, the hospital issued a notice that Miss Greem was critically ill. So, out of
Darren unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car. He opened the door of her side and bent over to carry her.“No, I can walk.” Charlotte dodged his hand and tried to walk on her own.“It's windy outside, you can take a walk after you go to the back of the room!” Saying that Darren carried her out of the car.The elders were waiting for them at the door. When they saw Darren and Charlotte approaching, they immediately came up and greeted her. Darren carried Charlotte to the bedroom upstairs.As soon as she walked into the room, Charlotte saw boys leaning against the bed, their awestruck gazes focused on their baby sister.They Looking forward to meeting her for a long time and were reluctant to leave after finally meeting her. Charlotte laughed, seeing the four of them.The boys were looking at their sister's wide eyes and she was blinking up her eyes at them.At that moment, the phone rang and Darren stepped away to answer his call. When his call was over, Darren returned to the
Tiredness gradually crept into Charlotte’s body as soon as she got home. She thought hot water would wash away all the drowsiness, but it didn’t.So, Charlotte immediately nestled in bed afterward. She had been so busy today that she even struggled to keep her eyes open as they became heavy from exhaustion.Still, Charlotte’s mind remained active for a moment.‘Darren and I agree to work on the divorce procedure a month after I gave birth. Fortunately, days went by quickly and baby Jessica was now one month old. So perhaps I could bring the topic to him first thing in the morning.’ she thought enjoying the comfort of her bed.The next day Charlotte woke up by the heavy weight on her belly.When Charlotte looked down, she saw a muscular arm wrapped tightly around her waist.Of course, this sent, grip, and arm pointed to one man and it was Darren. Annoyed, Charlotte pulled Darren away and tried to break free from his embrace.However, Darren’s strength and her differ significantly. Darr
After leaving the house, Darren went to the garage and hopped in his car. However, he only sat in the driver's seat in a daze for a long time, not even bothering to start the engine.Darren’s hands were still shaking, and his palms were wet. Darren felt like his heart was being crushed into a million pieces.It was pretty clear to him that Charlotte was trying to divorce him. The past month had been utterly suffocating for Darren.Charlotte had been strangely quiet, not making any scene.To be honest, Darren would only get to see her smile whenever she was in front of the kids. If not, Charlotte would only sit quietly on the bed for the rest of the day with dull eyes, looking gloomy and preoccupied.Whenever Darren faced her, she would immediately look elsewhere, as if he was a stranger over the last person she wanted to see.Of course, Darren would be lying if he said he didn’t understand the look she was giving him. Charlotte’s eyes alone were so expressive, and it had always given
He waited for Charlotte to look at him, but she didn’t.Her eyes remained focused on her phone as she replied, “Jessica might cry or get hungry in the middle of the night, so it would be better if I would stay here by her side and breastfeed her.”‘Did she say breastfeeding?’Darren was not naive and he knew that Charlotte only said that as an excuse to avoid him. Darren tried not to look upset, but he could be lying if he said he didn’t get hurt.Still, Darren composed himself, cleared his throat, and said, “How about we return to our room and bring Jessica with us? Our bed is more suspicious, so she could sleep comfortably there.”“Darren, sleeping is the same bed is no longer appropriate since we will divorce soon. Or are you still telling me to sleep there with Jessica while you stay in her room.” Charlotte replied with a hint of unwillingness and disgust painted all over her face.Defenceless, Darren looked at her, utterly lost for words. Her stare had nothing but bold resistance
Darren carried Charlotte to the suite upstairs of the hotel near the church, where the reception was held. Inside, he placed Charlotte on the bed while he sat on the edge of the bed and said, “When are you planning to open your eyes?”Charlotte kept her eyes closed and held her breath nervously, not daring to open her eyes.“Well, it’s good things you that you don’t want to wake up!”Before Charlotte could even begin to understand what he meant, she felt his warm breath seep into the skin on her face. Charlotte opened her eyes and met Darren’s deep-set smiling gaze. His face was inches away from her and he was about to kiss her. Fortunately, he stopped the second she opened her eyes.Seeing his smile made Charlotte excited. “You know that I just pretending?”Darren didn’t answer the questions. “Were you aware that I was outside at the time?”Charlotte couldn’t respond to his query, so she just looked at him blankly. She had won the bet. At first, Charlotte just hoped that Stella could
Today was Peter and Anna’s wedding day.Darren came to the villa early in the morning to pick up Charlotte. However, Charlotte didn’t want to show up with him in the same place.“Charlotte, if you don’t want to see news about us breaking up tomorrow morning, then you had better come with me.”Even if their relationship was on the verge of breaking right now, the truth remained that the public still saw them as a loving couple. Though Charlotte was uncomfortable about the idea, she had no choice but to go to the party with Darren.When they entered the banquet hall, Darren wrapped his arm around her waist and pressed her body against her.The fabric of Charlotte's dress was thin, so when his palm landed on her waist, Charlotte’s body temperature rose and she felt her blood coursing through her veins.All the other guests at the wedding looked at them with envy. Teasing and sighing at how sweet they were.Charlotte was so embarrassed that she turned to him and said, “Let me go, will you
Peter was right behind the door when he saw Stella badgering Darren. He watched as Darren pushed her away and ran after Charlotte.Stella fell to the ground, but she got up held onto Darren’s lap, and continued begging regardless of how humiliating her act was.“Darren, where are you going? Don’t go! Please.”“Let me go,” Darren growled. In an act of desperation, Stella shook her head, held on to him, and refused to let go. She was no longer the proud woman she once was.“Darren, I’m begging you. Just give me a chance to be with you!”Finally losing his patience, Darren pushed her away from him and stopped her before she could latch him again.“Stella, you have no idea why I’m letting you show your face to me. It’s not because you are my friend, nor it’s because I want to keep some sort of connection to you.”“Then why?” Stella asked with tears in her eyes.Peter didn’t hear what Darren said in the end. He saw how despair consumed Stella and it showed on her face. She fell on her knee
“Its fine. Rose and I share a birthday. Charlotte is a good friend with her, so I’m sure she will be willing to celebrate her birthday.” Stella said firmly.At that moment, Dora crap out by Stella so well-informed. ‘And she is so adamant on getting her hands on Darren.’The more Dora thought about it, the more she sensed something was amiss.As soon as Dora got home, she told Charlotte everything that Stella asked her to do.Charlotte pondered for a moment and said, “You should ask him directly. He can make decisions on his own.”“Aren’t you worried that rumors would circulate if he attended her birthday party?”“He probably won’t go,” Charlotte replied after some consideration.Dora nodded in agreement.The next morning, Dora asked Darren for his opinion. He just looked at her, and asked, “What did Charlotte say?”“She said that it’s up to you,” Dora answered.“Up to me?” Darren frowned in confusion.“Yes, but she also said that he probably won’t go,” Dora added.“Is that so? I will
“But I can’t stand it anymore, baby! Just let me fuck you, okay?” Darren lifted her chin with his finger and begins sucking on the tip of her tongue.Everything he did felt so good that Charlotte eventually gave in. He began caressing her tits, rubbing her nipples, and then pulling them. Soon, Darren loosened his grip on them. Charlotte’s breasts jiggled and bounced after he let them go.“Ugh,” A moan escaped Charlotte’s mouth, completely arousing Darren. He pressed his body against Charlotte. Thereafter, Charlotte felt he is huge manhood rubbing against her vagina. As Darren kept moving, Charlotte's desire grew, and she could no longer think of anything else.“Charlotte, can I?” Darren pressed his manhood against her, making her wetter by the second.“Darren, I want It. Give it to me.” Charlotte had no strength to hold back his neck. She wanted to grab something, but all she could do was to randomly wave her hands in the air.“What do you want me to give you baby? Tell me.” Darren be
After the meal, Darren touched Charlotte's forehead to check her temperature again and pulled her out of the Starlight restaurant.“Come with me to my office.”“But I wanna go home and rest,” Charlotte complained.“Well, you can sleep inside my office, too. Come on!” Darren put his hand on her shoulder and gently pushed her to his car.When Charlotte got into the car, she was about to fasten her seat belt, but then Darren leaned into it and fastened it for her. The tenderness in his eyes made Charlotte blush.Darren then cupped her cheeks, smiled at her, and leaned closer to her face. “Kiss me!” he said.“Huh?”Just before Charlotte could gather her composure, he lifted her chin and kissed her lips. Charlotte held her breath nervously too anxious to make any noise.It was already lunchtime, so many people were coming and going outside the place. Their car park was visible to many people. Passerby could easily spot them if they would look at them.Charlotte didn’t want other people wat
Because of how he reacted, the doctor felt tense and uncertain about what to do.Charlotte's face palmed and said to the doctor, “Honestly, I am feeling alright already. I’m sure I will get better after taking the antipyretic injections. Thank you, doctor!”The doctor nodded with a smile and left the room.Once he was gone, Darren sat back in his chair and directed his attention back to Charlotte. “You really can’t take your eyes off a handsome man when you see one, can you?”“What are you talking about? I was not looking at him.”He was so angry that he was practically snarling at Charlotte. “Are you not attracted to me anymore, Charlotte?”The look of jealousy and frustration on his face was amusing. He looks so childish!Once Charlotte's infusion was done, Darren held her out of the hospital while holding her wrist. By the time they reached the gate, their fingers were already interlocked. Charlotte’s heart felt a sense of comfort and warmth as she held his hand with him.After the
For a long time, Anna I stood frozen on the spot with her hand hovering above the door.Eventually, she dropped her hand with a sigh. She found a corner by the porch and curled up in it to cry her eyes out. the crowd.After a long time, Charlotte came back and was surprised to see her at the door. “Anna?”Anna looked up at her, her cheeks red with embarrassment. It was indeed abrupt for him to come here, but she had nowhere else to go. “Charlotte, can you take me in for one night?” She wiped the tears on her face and asked brazenly.Charlotte gaped at her for a few seconds before walking up to her. She held her hand and took it. “Come in!” Charlotte said.Charlotte asked the maid to cook some soup and bought it for her.Seeing the steaming hot soup in front of her, Anna felt the warmth and acceptance of the family, which was also something she earned for most. Anna picked up the bowl and felt a lump in her throat.Charlotte’s three kids sat opposite and looked at Anna curiously. Anna
Stella called Peter out of the blue and asked him to come to the bar where she was and keep her company.During her drunken speech, she broke into sobs several times.When Peter hung up the phone, he hesitated for a while but eventually decided to drive to the bar.Judging by Stella’s near-incoherent speech, she was very drunk. Not only that, she was a drunk woman in a bar alone. The number of things that could happen was too high for Peter to even contemplate.When Peter got there, he saw many empty bottles on her table. Stella was in the process of pouring more wine when Peter walked up to her and confiscated the bottle.“You have enough to drink!”With tears streaming down her face, Stella turned to look at him in disappointment. “Why are you here?”“Who else could it be if it were not for me?” Peter asked him confused.“I don’t want you. I want Darren.” And all of a sudden, Stella grabbed his shirt and looked up at him with hatred and determination.Her reaction pissed Peter off a
