“Sob, sob...”“Nora, I’ll marry you. I’ll call your brother and your parents later and tell them about us!”Nora cried even harder. She did not know if she was crying because of the pain from her first time or because of his words. Her emotions were a complete mess, and he did not give her any extra time to think afterward. The room was in a mess, and it was accompanied by the sound of a girl who was crying, but it was unclear whether it was in pleasure or pain. The thin quilt was covering the man’s strong waist. This was abruptly interrupted by the sound of knocking and a voice sounding outside the door. “Julian? Julian, are you there?”The storm ended in the room. Nora, who was in Julian’s arms, was so frightened when she heard Jason’s words that she froze in Julian’s embrace and did not dare to move at all.Jason and the others must have arrived and were looking for them.When Jason did not get a response after knocking on Julian’s door, he knocked on the door of Nora’s
Perhaps it was because of his reputation as a womanizer or perhaps it was because he was too outstanding that she did not feel confident in front of him and did not believe him when he said that he wanted to marry her. When he said he wanted to marry her, it was probably just sweet talk when he was lost in the moment. Didn’t people say that men think with their lower bodies? When he said that he wanted to marry her just now, it must be a result of the desire of his nether regions overcoming his brain’s ability to think.If a marriage was built on such a foundation, the marriage would be precarious in its own right. She did not want her marriage to end up in divorce one day, just like her parents’ or her brother’s marriage. In that case, she would rather not get married at all.She acknowledged that her originally healthy view of marriage was shattered by her parents and her brother’s failed marriages, which caused her to think of the worst possible outcome, which was divorce, whene
She was Jason’s girlfriend now, so how could she possibly date him? Julian’s expression instantly changed as soon as she mentioned Jason. He put her finger in his mouth and bit it hard as a punishment.“I’d have forgotten about this if you hadn't mentioned it!”Nora withdrew her hand in pain after he bit her. ‘Does he think he’s a puppy? Why did he bite me?’Julian glared at her coldly and ordered, “Break up with him immediately!”Julian subconsciously regarded her as his own woman because he had succeeded in sleeping with her. For a moment, he had forgotten that she was now Jason’s girlfriend. He was enraged as soon as he thought of this!Nora was dumbfounded. ‘He wants me to break up with Jason immediately?’She obviously came here for a trip with Jason, but how could they be broken up after they went back? Moreover, both their parents knew that they were getting along very well, so wouldn’t it be weird that they broke so abruptly?When Julian saw her shocked expression, h
“Mom has seen me getting along very well with Nora, so it’d be weird for us to break up so abruptly. They will definitely be suspicious!”Julian attacked him directly and mercilessly, “It seems that you’d prefer it if I called Mom now and told her that you were pretending to be in a relationship all this while.”He did not leave Jason with any room for negotiation at all. After saying that, Julian took out his cell phone and pretended to call Mrs. Maton. “Wait!” Jason was so frightened and quickly stopped him. If Mrs. Maton found out that he had been lying to her about being in a relationship, she would never let him off so easily. After all, he had always been very well-behaved in her eyes, and his image would be greatly ruined if this matter was revealed. He did not want to, but he had to continue being a good son in front of Mrs. Maton. Besides, he did not expect Julian to be so cruel as to force them to break up as soon as he found out the truth. Jason felt that Julian sho
She did not want to admit that she was that girl, but she clearly knew that she was. She did not want to be seduced by him, but he was really skillful, and she was completely helpless and could not resist at all. In the end, she melted in his hands and was at his mercy.She was too shy to face him, probably because she was not accustomed to the experience of becoming a woman.Julian watched on as she avoided his gaze, then he lazily stepped forward and forced her back against the wall. “Where are you going?” he asked.Nora mustered the courage to look at him and responded, “I’m going back to my room.”“I canceled your room.” After saying that, Julian caressed her face and tried to kiss her. When they were still together, he had always had a fear of touching her and kissing her because he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself. He did not need to worry anymore now. He could kiss her whenever he wanted to, and he could love her in a different way and let her enjoy
Besides, there was nothing between them, so what was there to disclose about their relationship? He said that he would take responsibility; he said that he wanted to marry her, and he even said that he liked her, but she hadn’t given him a reply yet. So, did he make the decision on his own that they were going to be together? Therefore, she said with a pout, “We’re not together, so there’s nothing to disclose!” She had the expression of a little girl who was making a fuss.Julian leaned in closer to her and smiled mischievously. “So you're trying to deny everything after you slept with me?”“What…” Nora was speechless. What did he mean when he said that she wanted to deny everything? He was making it seem as if he was the one who had suffered a loss after their sweet lovemaking.Julian sat up straight again and informed her of his plan. “It so happens that you don’t seem to truly approve of our relationship now, so let’s keep it private first. We will make our relationship public
Sure enough, only her brother loved her the most, and all the other men were not important at all. Nora was in a good mood after she ended the call with Ryan.She then heard Julian’s cell phone ringing. Nora sat down again in high spirits. It was probably Ryan who was calling.Sure enough, Julian glanced at her and answered the call bitterly. “Oh, why is the great Mr. Ryan suddenly calling me?”Julian was furious about Ryan’s stepping down from Pierce Group. After all, when Ryan was in charge, the two of them had collaborated on many big projects, all of which were successful. After so many years of collaboration, he was unwilling to collaborate with anyone else aside from Ryan. In addition, he looked down on other people’s abilities. Therefore, one could imagine how angry Julian was when Ryan stepped down from Pierce Group, not to mention the fact that he had followed Silvia directly to Winsterdam now. Julian’s current evaluation of Ryan was that he was just Silvia and Autumn
Julian deliberately paused for a moment when he said this and looked at Nora, who was in his arms, as he smirked. Nora shot him a nervous glare to warn him to watch what he was saying.Julian finally smiled and replied to Ryan, “There’s no hope for me being interested in getting involved with a young girl like her, so you can rest assured.” Julian was very serious when he assured Ryan. He did not panic, and his face did not turn red; his heart did not start racing, and he did not need to prepare a script at all.Nora was originally worried that he would expose their relationship, but he said this sentence coldly in the end. ‘No hope for him being interested at all? Who was the one who tormented me for a long time today and almost did not let me get out of bed? He’s a liar! A big fat liar’Julian did not continue beating around the bush with Ryan and said, “Okay, I still have something to do here. You can help me to arrange my accommodation first, and we’ll talk about it again wh
Evelyn was worried about this, but Rowan did not take it seriously as he said, “This small amount of snow is nothing.”Evelyn was extremely worried. The temperature was so low now, so the road must be icy. The snow was too heavy and would block his sight. Evelyn did not want him to be in any danger, so she suggested in a low voice, “It’s better if you don’t go back.”Rowan looked at her in surprise and smiled as he asked, “Where will I stay if I don’t go back? Do you want me to stay in the car all night?”Evelyn shook her head and said, “Y-You can go home with me.”She had just taken the initiative to invite a man to spend the night at her home. It was truly embarrassing for a shy girl like Evelyn to say these words, but she was willing to do so for his safety.“My mother should be asleep now, and she wakes up later in the morning. We can just leave before she wakes up in the morning.”She explained with a red face, “Don’t misunderstand me. I just don’t want you to be in danger o
She held her cell phone and said hurriedly, “I’ll go down right now.”She ended the call and hurriedly put on her down jacket. She was wearing warm and soft polar fleece home clothes. She did not have time to change, so she simply put on a down jacket and went out. She opened the door and walked out stealthily, out of fear that she would wake Helena up, and Helena would find out that she was going down to meet Rowan in the middle of the night. Helena would surely think that this kind of behavior was inappropriate. When passing by the living room, Evelyn glanced in the direction of Helena’s bedroom. The lights had been turned off, so she was probably asleep. Helena’s physical condition was not as good as it was before the surgery. After all, she was getting older and had undergone craniotomy, which was a major surgery, so she could not keep up mentally and physically. She would go to bed very early at night and wake up late in the morning.After Evelyn left the house quietly, sh
Cassie’s expression turned ugly when she heard Helena’s words. She was shocked and humiliated as she asked in disbelief, “Is it Rowan Pierce?”Cassie knew that it was the Pierces and Matons who were maliciously targeting the Sullivans. Julian and Nora had just gotten married, and it was said that Julian loved Nora very much, so it could not be Julian.As the person in charge of the Pierces, Ryan was a married man as well, and the couple usually kept a low profile and rarely displayed their affection. However, Cassie heard that Ryan’s wife had just given birth to a son, and it was widely known that Ryan was a family man now.Rowan was the only single man, so could it be Rowan?Cassie recalled the scene when she saw Rowan shopping with them in the mall that day. At the time, she wondered why Rowan would be willing to go shopping with them, but now, it seemed that he was there for Evelyn’s sake. Cassie was so stunned when she thought of this that she felt like she would choke on a m
In the end, Natalie was pushed to a dead end and had no choice but to hold a press conference in a hurry. During the press conference, she cried and apologized for the plagiarism and the fact that she had looked for someone to draw a design for her, and announced that she would be quitting the design world.However, few people accepted her apology or showed sympathy for her even though she apologized and admitted her mistakes. The general public opinion was still scolding her in various ways, so Barry simply drove Natalie home and asked her to stay at home to avoid the limelight. One night after Natalie’s incident, Evelyn was accompanying Helena on a stroll in the neighborhood when they ran into Cassie.Natalie’s life had been completely gloomy and dark in the past few days, but Evelyn’s life was stable and practical.Rowan insisted on picked her up from work every morning. If Rowan was at the company at noon, the two would have lunch together. Considering that Helena would be at
Natalie never expected that Rowan would play these dirty tricks behind her back. She did not know that Rowan was best at these tricks. She had cried and begged Barry to plead for mercy on her behalf, but when Barry came back, he told her that there was no room for redemption. She was desperate and was filled with hatred and resentment. Over the years, she had tried every means possible to trample all over Evelyn, but in the end, she was the one who suffered the most and could not turn her life around. Natalie clenched her teeth angrily in hatred as she dug her nails into her palms and tried to calm her emotions. So what if her career in design was ruined? She never truly liked this industry anyway. She had only learned it at the beginning in order to crush Evelyn. She could still do other things even if she did not do design, right? There were so many different industries in this world, so she did not have to make a living in jewelry design. Besides, she was a Stewart, so s
She laughed loudly when she was happy, shed tears when she was sad, never hid her true self, and was a frank and sincere person. Why wouldn’t men like such a girl?Rowan laughed. He did not mean to slander Selena; he was simply analyzing Selena’s current situation from his perspective as a man. Selena might indeed be a good girl in Evelyn’s eyes. After all, Evelyn was a woman who only cared about Selena’s personality, but men paid more attention to a woman’s temperament and charm sometimes. Everyone naturally had their own preferences. For example, Rowan preferred someone simple like Evelyn, whereas some men might prefer someone with a stronger personality like Selena. Evelyn had to call Charles after she could not reach Selena. “Charles, is Selena home? I can’t seem to reach her on her cell phone.”Charles frowned when he heard Evelyn’s words. “She’s not back yet. You can’t reach her on her cell phone?”“I can’t. I tried calling her several times, but her cell phone is switch
He was wrong. He was really wrong. He treated the person he wanted to protect so coldly and harshly. It seemed that he had not been in a relationship for too long that he had forgotten how to love. Fortunately, it only took him this once to understand the crux of his problem. Therefore, he stroked her cheek gently and reassured her in a deep voice, “It won’t happen again.”Evelyn chose to smile slightly in relief in response to his apology and assurance.When two people are together, they need to understand and accommodate each other in terms of personality, temperament, and living habits. Since they had only officially been together for a day, this was even more essential for them. As he said, he was an ordinary man, and she was an ordinary woman. Their relationship was that of an ordinary couple, so it was normal for them to quarrel, have disagreements, and lose their temper. Evelyn felt that there was nothing that could not be solved as long as it did not involve principles
“Getting dinner!” Rowan announced angrily, then he placed her in the passenger seat, got into the car, and drove away. Evelyn had no other objections since they were going to eat. Anyway, she had already called Helena earlier to tell her that she would not be going back for dinner tonight as she would be having dinner with Selena. Not long after the two had gotten into the car and driven out, Selena called and asked Evelyn worriedly, “Evelyn, how did it go? Did you manage to coax him yet?”As Rowan was sitting next to her, Evelyn could not answer whether she had managed to coax him. Therefore, she hesitated without saying anything.When Selena heard this, she knew that they must not have reconciled yet, so she gave her advice on the other end of the line. “It’s fine. There’s no man that can’t be coaxed. Just one kiss will do. If he still can’t be coaxed, give him two kisses. If that doesn’t work, just kiss him all over until he’s no longer angry!”Selena’s voice was loud enough,
Selena’s tone was full of annoyance as she said, “I initially thought of giving Evelyn a surprise, but it turned out to be a shock!”Selena had good intentions as well; she just wanted to introduce the most handsome, stylish, and reliable man that she knew to Evelyn, but it turned out to be self-defeating. As for Shane, who was to be introduced to Evelyn, he simply stood there leisurely the whole time, looking at the three of them as if he was watching a good show. He watched as they got jealous, explained themselves, and felt depressed. Even though both Evelyn and Selena had explained the whole story entirely, Rowan still felt angry and annoyed.After glaring angrily at Evelyn, he simply turned around and walked away.Evelyn and Selena could only exchange glances as they were at a loss for what to do.In the end, Evelyn said to Selena helplessly, “I’ll go and see how he’s doing. You two can enjoy dinner together. I’m sorry.”Evelyn chose to pay attention to Rowan this time an
