Ophelia flattered Rowan in that manner to restrain his attitude toward them in the future. Rowan took the phone away angrily, then he raised his hand to beckon the little girl to come over and asked her to talk. The little girl spoke innocently into the phone. “Papa, Uncle Rowan invited me and Grandma to be his guests. When will you be coming to pick us up?”After Rowan’s people brought Ophelia and Autumn here, Ophelia immediately negotiated with Rowan when Autumn was still sleeping. Rowan’s people attacked them early in the morning. When Ophelia got up to prepare breakfast, she heard someone knocking on the door. Rowan’s people broke in as soon as she opened the door.She told them calmly that she would follow them, but she asked them not to wake the little girl up.The men agreed. She packed up some things, carried Autumn, and came here with them. This seemed to be a villa Rowan had bought. Ophelia settled her granddaughter down on the sofa so that she could continue sleep
He wanted to turn around and leave her alone, but her appearance was too distressing. Ophelia had been sitting quietly on the sofa as she watched all this without stepping in to help.Rowan finally squatted in front of Autumn as he tried to soften his voice and asked, “What’s wrong?”Rowan thought that if this was a boy, he would surely beat him up unceremoniously and make him cry again, but since she was a girl, especially a girl who was crying, he could not even think of beating her.The little girl raised her hand to wipe away her tears and looked at him with an aggrieved expression as she cried and asked, “Did I make you unhappy? Otherwise, why would you hate me so much?”The little girl blinked after she was done speaking, and a series of tears rolled down again.He could only ask, “Why do you say that I hate you?”“Why else would you ignore me? I’ve been talking to you so much, but you’ve been ignoring me. Sob, sob…"She protested aggrievedly, and this was accompanied by
Therefore, she told Ryan that they were getting along very well, and addressed Rowan affectionately as ‘Uncle’ when she answered the call. She even said unguardedly that she was here as a guest.Ryan frowned when the little girl addressed Rowan as ‘Uncle’. He wanted to correct her immediately, but he then thought that it must be his mother who had asked her to refer to him as ‘Uncle’. Otherwise, Autumn would not have known that herself. On second thought, it was actually right for his daughter to address him as ‘Uncle’.No matter what, Rowan was his elder brother. This was a relationship that he could not deny.So, he could only suppress all his emotions and say to his daughter, “Papa and Mama are busy working now. We’ll come and pick you and Grandma up when we are done.”The little girl responded on the other end of the line, “Okay, but you have to come quickly.”She then said to Ryan in a tone that sounded as if she had found a treasure, “Papa, Uncle is very good at drawing. H
The emotions that Greg had suppressed since Ophelia’s accident broke out completely. He stood in the large living room and yelled, “I don’t care about anything, I don’t need reputation or status. I just want your mother. I just want her to live well. I’m willing even if she wants to divorce me.”When Greg said this, he broke down and covered his face with his hands and shed tears like a child even though he was a man in his fifties. “Dad…"Nora could not stand it anymore. She would cry if her father continued to talk like this.When the absurdity of youth fades away and one has gone through trying times and gained experience, external factors such as money and reputation are no longer important. What is important is the person by their side. Nora stepped forward to support Greg and sobbed as she comforted him, “Dad, please calm down first. Let Ryan think of a way.”After Greg finally calmed down a little, Nora helped him upstairs to rest. Harold stomped the floor hard with hi
He said it in a very pitiful manner. Silvia looked up at him from his arms and pretended to be fierce as she said, “You’ll have to listen to me from now on. You cannot do anything against my wishes!”Ryan’s smile gradually widened, and his eyes were full of indulgence. “Wow, you're so domineering.”“Well, I’m that domineering.”As Silvia spoke, she felt that her fierce look must be hilarious, so she laughed.As she laughed, tears fell from her eyes again. She then buried herself in his arms and hugged him tightly. She had never cared about his wealth. She loved the person that he was, so she did not care whether he lost Pierce Group or not. The two hugged each other quietly for a while. Just when they were about to return to the house, they saw Nora rushing out in panic and calling to him, “Ryan! Hurry! Dad suddenly passed out. We have to take him to the hospital quickly!”Nora was about to cry. Greg’s emotions had been fluctuating greatly. After Ryan and Julian came out to
Although Rowan’s tone was very determined and vicious, and he even mentioned the threat to Ophelia and Autumn’s lives when he called and spoke to Ryan over the phone, he was actually getting along with them rather harmoniously. In fact, Rowan did not want to get along with them at all, but the little girl was too innocent and kept pestering him, whereas Ophelia was also very easy-going and calm, so he simply could not bring himself to be cruel to them at all.Rowan ordered takeout for lunch. The little girl did not like the food because she thought that the food tasted bad. She pouted angrily and declared righteously, “My mama said that it’s best not to eat outside food! It’s not clean, and it’ll give you a stomachache!” Autumn was picky because growing up, she rarely ate outside food. In the past, Silvia would prepare three meals for her a day, and now, it was Ophelia who was taking care of her and cooking for her, which led to her diet preference. She inevitably could not get us
This feeling made him feel uncomfortable. After sitting like that for a long time, he picked up his coat and got up to leave. His subordinate told him that Greg had been hospitalized, so after driving aimlessly on the street for a long time, he finally drove to the hospital where Greg had been admitted to.Rowan did not enter the ward to visit Greg. He still had some self-awareness and knew that Greg would probably be even more ill if he went in to visit him at a time like this.He just stood outside and stared into the ward through the glass on the door for a while, and he only left when a nurse came to check the ward. Greg’s complexion did not look good at all, and his mental state was also very poor. His hospital bed had been raised, and Greg was leaning on the hospital bed as he looked out the window listlessly. He looked very haggard and old. It was at this moment that Rowan suddenly realized that Greg was already old. In his memory, Greg had always been young, and he h
She could not say that she insisted on not getting married in front of her father, so she used the excuse that she was still young to evade the topic.However, a certain man was a little unsettled. The only thing he could think of was what Greg had just said about many people introducing men to her, and that many of them were all young and promising!He seemed to have been ignoring this issue the whole time, thinking that she was still a young girl, but he did not expect that there were already people who were trying to introduce men to her. That’s right, she had completed her studies, and she had good qualities. She was also very well-behaved and had a charming personality; coupled with the Pierces’ family background, there must be many people who were interested in her and wanted to marry her!He suddenly felt a little anxious when he thought of this, but his mood improved a little when he heard her say that she was still young and was not in a hurry to get married.Nora stayed
