“Did I let you down?” asked Lisa with a sniffle. With a smile, Terry replied, “It’s not like you can help it. If you’re not pregnant, so be it. We just have to wait a while before we have kids of our own. You can come out now.” “I can’t!” yelled Lisa with a pained expression. “I’m on my period, but I didn’t bring any pads with me. Can you go out and buy them for me?” Terry’s face stiffened up immediately. “You’re asking me to buy you pads?” This was the second time his voice had cracked tonight. “Yeah! Unless you want me to bleed all over your floor.” To convince him, Lisa deliberately emphasized the word ‘bleed’.“I’ll get one of the servants to buy them,” said Terry. “No!” yelled Lisa. “It’s embarrassing to ask a servant to buy such a thing. Can’t you just help me buy it? You know, back in university, I always admired guys who could buy these things for their girlfriends. I even fantasized that one day, my future boyfriend would buy it for me.” Terry couldn’t wrap his he
Lisa suddenly realized what it felt like to be pampered. Now that she thought about it, aside from her parents, Terry was the only person she had met who was willing to go so far for her. She groaned and leaned back into the sofa. Terry noticed the pained expression on her face, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Does it hurt?” “Yeah,” she replied. “You men are so lucky that you don’t have to experience this every month.” Terry reached over and massaged her belly gently. “Does this make it better?” “Yeah, it’s good. Keep doing that,” urged Lisa. And so, the great patriarch of the White household sat there on the sofa, gently massaging his partner’s belly. Lisa, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying every second of it. She closed her eyes, and from time to time, she would mumble, “Mmh, don’t stop, keep going… ahh.” Terry was rendered speechless. Wasn’t she aware how easily she could cause a misunderstanding with the stuff she was uttering?! Of course, Lisa didn’t think that
“That's good.” Terry breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed the improvement in Lisa’s condition. The moment he knew of the pain she was going through just now, oh, how he wished he could bear the pain for her! He wanted to see Lisa being her usual cheerful and energetic self. He wanted to do all that he could to protect his precious Lisa. He continued rubbing her belly carefully with his large hands in hopes that it could relieve some of her pain. “I’m sorry for the false alarm about being pregnant. Are you sure… you weren’t disappointed when I told you I wasn’t pregnant?” she asked him. “I wasn’t disappointed at all. In fact, I wouldn’t be disappointed whether or not you were pregnant. That’s because I know we’ll definitely have children in the future, so it’s only a matter of when. It’s just…” After a brief pause, Terry continued, “When I found out you weren’t pregnant, I was finally able to stop panicking.” Lisa was stunned. She never expected he would openly admit
He seemed stunned.She went on to say, "If I... if I get pregnant one day and the White family's situation hasn't stabilized yet, you don't have to marry me right away. I'll give birth in secret and keep the child safe. We can wait until you think the situation is safe before we get married!"Terry froze. "You...""I'm not scared of gossip. It can't hurt me! All I want is to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to share with you not just the good times, but also the bad ones!" Lisa's voice was strong and her eyes were unwavering.Terry hugged Lisa tightly.His Lisa was stronger and braver than he imagined. He had underestimated her. He thought she was someone he had to protect, but he now realized that she could be strong and independent too!"I just realized how amazing the woman I love is!" Terry chuckled and said, "I'm so glad I fell in love with you!"He hoped for a bright future where he could give her a comfortable life, making her happy and free of worries.Sereni
"You promised me right here that you would love me for the rest of your life, that you would stay by my side and never leave me," he whispered softly, a passionate determination faintly emanating from his dark eyes.Serenity trembled, recalling that time he stood in this memorial hall in the middle of the night. He looked terribly lonely and vulnerable, making her heart ache for him.When she saw him looking like that, she wanted to protect him with everything she had!If he felt insecure, she would do whatever it takes to make him feel safe.She would keep telling him that she loved him. Even when she remembered her past with Lucas, she acted as if she couldn't remember anything.She really was... willing to do anything for him in the past.But now... Serenity met Jackson's eyes calmly. "So? You once told me you love me too. But later, you said you don't love me anymore and wanted to break up with me... Words are cheap. Breaking a promise costs nothing.""If I don't break my pr
The corner of her lips curled up a little. She gently stroked his eyebrows with her fingers.His eyelashes fluttered slightly, but he remained still. His hands, which had been pressing on hers, slowly relaxed.Her fingers slowly moved from his eyebrows, over his eyes and down to his nose before landing on his lips.His thin lips were beautiful. They looked cold, sexy and seductive. In the past, every time he smiled, it would tug at her heartstrings. "You said you're scared of repeating your father's mistake and losing control over your own life. Does that mean you're also scared that I would betray you like your mother betrayed your father?" She spoke in a gentle tone, like the sound of a pleasant violin, her voice devoid of any anger or resentment.Her calm demeanor made him frown.The last time they were in her apartment, she was just as calm. It was a calmness that made him anxious. "Although I told you that I loved you and would never leave you, and although you told me th
The next day after work, Lisa came to look for Serenity. They went to a small restaurant for dinner.After they ordered their food, Lisa asked with concern in her voice, "Did anything happen between you and Jackson Valor yesterday? Did he give you a hard time?"Serenity hesitated before replying, "He wanted to start over with me." "What?!" Lisa exclaimed, her eyes wide, "Start over? You mean he wants to get back together with you?" "Yeah," answered Serenity. Lisa said with gritted teeth, "How dare he?! He was the one who broke up with you in the first place! Now he wants to get back together? He’s just playing with your feelings!" Lisa was probably the only person in Solaria who had the guts to talk about Jackson Valor like that.Serenity found her friend's expression amusing and couldn't suppress a chuckle. It made her feel much better. "He's quite the jerk," Serenity agreed."Did you say yes?" Lisa asked.Serenity shook her head and replied, "No, we're never going to w
"Okay, I'll ask Terry to check it out," replied Lisa. "How's Clara? Is her business doing well?" "I spoke to her this morning. She said business is slowly recovering. No one came to cause trouble anymore," Serenity informed Lisa. "That's great news!" Lisa was relieved to hear that.After dinner, Lisa drove Serenity home before heading to Terry's mansion."Are you feeling better?" Terry asked as he set aside his papers and walked over to Lisa. "Much better compared to yesterday," she replied. Terry frowned. Then she's still in pain. "How long until the pain goes away?" he inquired. Before he met her, he had never thought about how painful a woman's period was."Don't worry, it'll probably stop hurting tomorrow," Lisa answered. "Would you like me to rub your stomach again?" he asked. She certainly wouldn't mind. His stomach-rubbing skills were excellent!Lisa sat on the couch and got comfortable.Terry smiled when he saw that. He used the intercom to ask the maid to make
