Nora did not know what to do now that she was caught in a dilemma between her father and Julian. She thought that she should go and seek Silvia’s advice because Silvia’s father had also kicked Ryan out again and again back then. She wondered how Silvia felt back then. Moreover, Silvia could speak up for Ryan back then, but she could not speak up for Julian. After all, Julian had a bad reputation, so it seemed useless for her to put in a good word for him. In addition, he was the one who had initiated a breakup back then. Nora was Greg’s daughter, whom he had loved and cherished since she was young. Greg gave in first when he saw Nora standing there with an embarrassed expression. However, he refused to let Julian off so easily as he said, “It’s not entirely impossible for me to agree to let you be with him, but you have to take control of the entire process this time. You can only talk about marrying him when you finally feel that he is worthy of your trust.”Nora promised Greg. “
She felt as if her waist was about to break. When she left, she went to the bathroom to take a shower and found that there were some marks on her waist from his grip. She did not know whether it was because her skin was too delicate or whether it was because he was too strong.Her cell phone then rang; it was a phone call from Julian. Julian was the one who had sent her back, and he was still waiting in front of Old Pierce Manor. “Did your mother say anything?”Julian was worried that Ophelia or Greg would reprimand Nora because she came back late, so he had been waiting outside the gate. He would rush in and take all the blame if they were really reprimanding her. Nora replied weakly, “No…”Julian could hear the tiredness in her voice and smiled slightly. “Are you very tired?”Nora snorted. Julian’s tone sounded extremely enthusiastic and arrogant as he said, “You should be tired…”Nora did not want to hear him say such shameless words, so she simply replied, “I’m going to ha
Jason actually owned a villa. He was naturally willing to invite Miya to live in his huge villa with him. He would not even ask her for rent, but she would surely think of him as a playboy in that case. Therefore, he could only move closer to her. After all, this was the only way for him to get closer to her.The nature of their work was completely different, so he could not join the company she worked at to get close to her. Thus, he could only live next to her so that he could try and get closer to her.However, he kept the matter of him renting the house opposite hers a secret so she would not know that he had become her neighbor for the time being. Otherwise, he would have to go through another round of trouble if she found out about this matter in advance and decided to move to another house. It so happened that the house across from her was also up for rent this time, but he might not be so lucky the next time.Not long after Jason had returned to his room, Julian came in.
Besides, Nora understood Rowan’s character after spending more than a year with him. She knew that Rowan would not care about anything when he wanted to torment a person, so she knew that he would be stubborn and intent on making Julian feel uncomfortable. Nora wanted to leave first as well to avoid the meeting with both parties’ parents that Julian had asked for. Therefore, she had no choice but to secretly leave the United States without informing Julian in advance. Julian was furious when he learned that Nora had secretly returned to the United States. He had initially set a time for their parents to meet up, and he had even asked a lawyer to draft up an agreement for the transfer of shares. He had also drafted a copy of the agreement for Jason. He was just waiting for both parties’ parents to meet so that he could present this betrothal gift. His initial intention in calling her was to inform her of the time he had arranged for them to meet so that she could consult her paren
After Rowan had left, Nora sighed softly as she looked at his desolate back. She could somewhat feel some of Rowan’s pain, but she was unable to comfort him.Her cell phone rang again, and it was still Julian who was calling.Nora answered the call, and the first thing she did was to explain why the previous call ended. However, she did not say that it was Rowan who had hung up the call on purpose. “I’m sorry. I accidentally pressed on the button and ended the call just now.”Julian snorted coldly on the other end of the line and said, “It was Rowan who ended the call, right?!”Julian had understood all of Rowan’s tricks and methods now. He knew Nora very well as well. He even knew that it was probably Rowan who had instigated Nora to secretly return to the United States without informing him in advance. Nora was silent. They both knew of each other’s methods and moves very well, so she did not need to say anything at all.Julian softened his tone a little and asked, “When wil
Mrs. Maton was so angry that she was speechless. Mr. Maton quickly comforted her, “Our children have their own blessings, right? They are only doing this for the harmony and happiness of their respective families, so we should be glad.”“Glad?” Mrs. Maton reprimanded Mr. Maton at the same time. “What if both Nora and Miya dumped them one day? They’d be completely destitute with nothing left!”Jason did not like the sound of that, so he muttered in a low voice, “Mom, why do you make us out to be so miserable?”“How dare you retort me?! It’s fine if your brother gives the shares away to Nora since they have already reconciled, but you’re giving your shares away to Miya when she’s ignoring you.” The more Mrs. Maton spoke, the angrier she was, so she scolded Jason, “Aren’t you being a little short-sighted?”Jason continued to smile and said, “If short-sighted people can be postgraduates, doesn’t that mean that normal people must have doctorates, then?”“Hey!” Mrs. Maton was so angry t
Miya did not accept the bottle of red wine from Jason, making it clear that she was dissatisfied with his move to live across from her.Jason explained his behavior in a clear and logical manner. “Since I’ve decided to pursue you, we have to go through the process of getting to know each other better. It will make it easier for us to get to know each other if we live closer to each other, right?”Miya crossed her arms in front of her chest and replied indifferently, “I’m not interested in you, so I don’t need to know you.”Jason remained unshaken and said, “In that case, I can get to know you better, then.”He then felt that something was wrong, so he said again, “No, I don’t need to get to know you better. I like you no matter what you’re like.”These words could be said to be sweet nothings. Miya’s frown deepened. He could sweet talk so well and had a brother like Julian, so his sincerity was greatly compromised. In fact, Jason was also surprised after saying these words. He
When the party ended, both Wendy and Miya had already drunk too much. Caleb came to pick Wendy up, and he carried her downstairs directly. Although Silvia had not drunk at all, Ryan had come to pick Silvia up as well as it was already very late.When Ryan saw Jason at Miya’s house, he could not help but take another look at Jason. The first thought that came to Ryan’s mind was he did not expect that this kid was actually serious. As the owner of the apartment, Miya sent the two of them off unsteadily. After everything had cleared up, only Miya and Jason were left in Miya’s apartment. After closing the door and turning around, Miya remembered Jason’s existence when she saw him in the room. She placed one hand on the wall to support herself, then she pointed at the doorway and said, “Young man, it’s time for you to go…”After saying that, Miya walked toward the sofa and almost fell when she stumbled. Jason stepped forward to catch her, and the two of them fell on the sofa together.
