“It’s such a shame. I really liked Jason.”Greg spoke up from the side, “It’s fine even if they broke up. Nora is still young anyway, and she’ll definitely meet a better guy in the future.” He then comforted Nora, “You don’t have to be sad either. I will ask my friends to introduce some better guys to you in the future.”Nora frowned and said, “Dad, Mom, please don’t arrange any more blind dates for me for the time being. I just got out of a relationship and have no intention of starting a new relationship for now. I need some time to heal.”Nora found another excuse to get out of the blind dates arranged by her parents. She would probably be able to use the excuse that she was still healing from her emotional wounds to avoid going on any blind dates in the near future. When Ophelia and Greg saw her response, they exchanged glances before Ophelia said, “Okay, I understand. I won’t make any arrangements for you anymore in the future. You can make your own decisions. By the way, Rya
Jason wondered how Mrs. Maton would react if she found out that Julian was the one who forced them to break up. Well, it would be best if she kicked Julian out of the house. Julian glanced coldly at Jason, who snorted angrily and looked away. Julian then looked at Mrs. Maton and said calmly and indifferently, “Why should we force them to be together if they can’t get along? You can’t force happiness.”Jason could not help but retort, “It’s not as if you aren't forcing it yourself!”He slept with Nora when she was clearly reluctant to do so, but he still had the nerve to say that one could not force happiness?Mrs. Maton was confused by them and was about to lose her mind. “What are the two of you talking about?”“Nothing,” Julian replied calmly to Mrs. Maton, then he went upstairs. Halfway up the stairs, he looked at Mrs. Maton and said, “I forgot to remind you that your eldest son is 33 years old this year, so if there’s an outstanding girl like Nora, don’t forget to introdu
Julian drove back to Maton Mansion, and the family of four had lunch together. Mrs. Maton’s rule was that Julian and Jason could have their own fun and leisure time outside, but they had to go home and spend time with their parents during the weekends. Mrs. Maton was also a self-aware mother, and she knew that children no longer liked to live with their parents when they were older. She felt that there would be a generational gap between children and their parents, and too much control from their parents would annoy them, especially if they were men.Therefore, she allowed them to live independently outside quite early on and never interfered much with their lives outside. This was with the exception of their marriage. Mrs. Maton could not stop talking about Nora at the dinner table, so Jason kindly suggested, “Mom, since you like Nora so much, why don’t you introduce her to Julian now that she and I have already broken up? She will still be your daughter-in-law if she ends up wit
Ophelia said with a smile, “Nora wanted to treat us to dinner tonight, so she brought us here, saying that she came here to eat before, and the food was really good.”Nora looked extremely embarrassed. She could detect that Julian had glanced at her faintly when Ophelia said these words. He was the one who had brought her here to eat. Mrs. Maton hurriedly talked about her family and even took the opportunity to invite Ophelia’s family to have dinner with them. “Julian is buying us dinner tonight. Let’s eat together since we bumped into each other. We were destined to share this meal.”Mrs. Maton smiled as she held Ophelia’s arm and said affectionately, “This shows that our families are really fated.”Mrs. Maton was hinting at Jason and Nora’s relationship, and she even looked at Jason as she spoke. Jason sheepishly ducked behind Julian and tried to lower his sense of existence so that Mrs. Maton would notice Julian instead. Julian snorted at his mother’s words as he thought to h
He then attacked her lips again, almost swallowing her breath. However, Julian only kissed her for a while before he let her go after considering that the timing was not right.Nora quickly gasped for air. She had forgotten to breathe just now because of her nervousness. Julian held her in his arms and smiled at her appearance. He rubbed his coarse fingertips on her earlobe, teasing her as he coaxed her gently, “Go back to your own apartment after dinner, okay?” Nora shook her head firmly and refused. “I don’t want to!”He smiled at her in an evil and ambiguous manner. “Why are you saying you don’t want to when I didn’t even say what I was going to do? Could it be that you really want to? Sure enough, women never mean what they say.”Nora growled angrily, “Hey!”She was then speechless for a long time, and she finally blushed in shame. When she said that she did not want to, she clearly meant that she did not want to go back to her apartment, but he was deliberately misinterpre
Greg had no intention of leaving when Nora drove them back to Ophelia’s place. Greg would stay over at Ophelia’s place occasionally, provided that she allowed him to do so.After sending her parents back, Nora did not go into Ophelia’s house but instead said goodbye to her parents at the entrance. “Mom, it’d be better for me to go back to my own place. It will be more convenient for me to go to work tomorrow.”Nora was not good at lying and felt extremely guilty when she said these words. Fortunately, her mother did not care too much about her because Greg had drunk a little too much and rushed into the bathroom as soon as he entered the house. “Send me a text message when you arrive to let me know that you got home safely,” Ophelia responded before she turned around to follow Greg into the bathroom.Nora then closed the door for them and left. She intentionally drove slower on the way back. He was so shameless, and he even used various means to force her to go back. However, she
Julian did not respond after she was done speaking. Only then did Nora realize that she had thrown herself into his arms without any clothes on. She had been so focused on making sure that the human resources manager would not find out about their relationship that she had forgotten that she had gotten out of bed directly. Julian’s eyes darkened as he looked at her. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to get off him quickly, but he hugged her and threw her down on the bed. His hot lips then fell on her body and went all the way down. She was late for work in the morning. Julian drove, and they went to the company together. Nora initially insisted on driving by herself as she did not want to go to work with him to avoid bumping into her colleagues. However, she did not really have the strength.Nora became angrier when she thought of it on the way to the company and protested to Julian, “Can you stop doing this in the future? I don’t want to be late for work!”If he did thi
He felt incredibly hurt, but Nora then exclaimed again, “Wow, there are even several designs of bags in this attachment!”Rowan was short of designing a full-body outfit for her. Nora was really happy. She did not expect Rowan to be so thoughtful, and she even felt closer to him because of this. Julian was pissed off because of Nora’s reaction. Why didn’t she have her guard up against Rowan at all?Julian felt inexplicably insecure whenever he thought of what Rowan had done. Rowan had kidnapped Ophelia and Autumn before. Although he was angry and worried at the time, he did not feel too distressed. However, he felt that he would have the urge to kill Rowan if he dared to do anything to Nora in the future. Nora was still immersed in Rowan’s beautiful designs after Julian parked the car in the underground parking lot. Julian snatched her cell phone from her and said, “You’re not allowed to accept these design drafts. I will take care of you if your brother doesn’t care about yo
