"Damon, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Jeanette struggled with all her might.

Damon restrained her arms and held her down like an iron-clad wall so that she would not be able to break free.

Jeanette took a deep breath, and just as she opened her mouth and was about to tell Damon off, her body was in mid-air.

Damon threw her on the sofa, and immediately after Jeanette landed on the sofa, she quickly grabbed a pillow and placed it in front of her body to protect herself.

However, Damon was facing her, glancing at her indifferently. He then turned around and went upstairs.

"Huh?" Jeanette was taken aback.

The reason he had suddenly carried her was to just carry her to the sofa? Was it that plain and simple?

Damon Orion Godfrey, what game was he trying to play today!?

After Damon went upstairs, he never came down again. Jeanette's mind was all jumbled up as she watched TV in the middle of the night absently. She was in a constant state of excitement and was not sleepy at all.

The hour hand of the clock on the wall pointed to 12. Jeanette turned her head and took a glance upstairs as she bit her lip.

Damon was sleeping in the master bedroom, so she could only sleep in the guest room tonight, but… when Jeanette stared at the spiral staircase, she did not feel like going up at all.

She called the housekeeper to get her a blanket as she had decided to spend the night on the sofa tonight.

The housekeeper quickly brought over a blanket.

Jeanette wrapped herself in the blanket and curled up on the sofa comfortably as she watched TV. She could go straight to sleep if she was sleepy.

Finally, Jeanette was starting to feel a little sleepy. However, the sound of an opening door in the quiet villa echoed as she was getting drowsy. She immediately became awake and glanced at the corridor.

Damon came out!

He took a few steps down the stairs and made his way toward Jeanette. He then stood in front of the sofa and lowered his head as he stared at Jeanette, who was wrapped like a cocoon.

"Are you going to bed?" he asked the same question again.

Jeanette blinked and replied, "I'm sleeping on the sofa."

Damon stared at her and for a while, not saying anything.

Jeanette's heart started beating faster, and she shrank into the blanket. "What… What are you doing!?"

Damon picked her up along with the blanket. "Taking you to bed." His answer was clear and concise.

However, Jeanette thought about last night's pain and torture, and she never ever wanted to sleep with him like that again. She struggled with all her strength. "Damon, you jerk! Let me go! If you dare touch me, I… I… I'll kill you!"

Damon looked down at her, and a smile seemed to flash across his lips briefly. Jeanette thought that she might be seeing things as ever since they had gotten married. He had never smiled in front of her.

Jeanette felt her body in mid-air again.

Damon threw her on the bed, and the blanket that was wrapped on her body spread open. He then grabbed a corner of the blanket, and she rolled out like a white and tender radish.

Damon immediately went on top of her and embraced her in his arms without taking no for an answer. After that, there were no other movements from him.

Jeanette slowly stopped struggling.

When he said "take you to bed", did he actually mean sleeping? Was it that simple?

Damon's arms were tightly wrapped around her waist. His chiseled and handsome face was buried in the back of her neck, and she could feel his warm and long breath on her tender skin.

Jeanette could not believe Damon just fell asleep like that.

On the other hand, Jeanette's heart started beating violently. If he was not going to do anything to her, why did he come back?

He even held her as he slept.

What did that mean? After two years, was he finally ready to accept her?

The thought made Jeanette's heart beat so fast that it was almost out of control. Her palms were all sweaty. Could it really be like this…

Jeanette could not sleep almost all night. She finally fell asleep in a daze when it was approaching dawn.

When Jeanette was half-asleep, her cell phone suddenly rang, and she stretched her slender hand out of the blanket and fumbled about to find her phone.

The moment she saw the caller ID, she was immediately wide awake.

    The caller ID on the phone screen was Elias! It was so early in the morning, why did he call?Jeanette rejected the call coldly and crawled back into the blanket to go back to sleep. She could feel warmth from the hand that was on her waist. She was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered what had happened last night.Damon had slept through the night holding her. Jeanette could feel a warm, tingling surge through her heart, and she could not help but curl her lips. She turned over carefully to look at Damon’s sleeping face quietly.However, her phone started ringing again. Damon was still sound asleep, but he frowned. It looked like he was about to wake up.Jeanette hurriedly tapped on the mute button of her cell phone and moved lightly. She got out of bed and went to the balcony to answer the phone.

    Jeanette pushed him away with all her might and grabbed her cell phone. “What affair? I didn’t cheat on you! He’s just a friend!”Damon sneered mockingly. “Hah, a friend. Your so-called friend.”Jeanette’s face turned pale, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart. “Damon, in your eyes, am I really that immoral?”Damon responded without hesitation by asking, “Are you not?Jeanette closed her eyes tightly and retorted, “Damon, you’re being unreasonable! Get out! I don’t want to fight with you now.”“Jeanette Leighton, this is my house, so you should be the one to get out instead!” Damon had never shown her mercy.Jeanette endured the pain in her eyes and nodded. “Yes! I should be the one to get out.”She walked past him, opened the closet to pull out a suitcase, started grabbing her clothes, and stuffed them into her suitcase one after another. She had had enough of this cold home.Damon was still standing at the balcony, his head facing the side as he stared at Jeanette. His dark

    Damon was already gone. Based on how arrogant Madison looked, Damon must have allowed it. Otherwise, how would she move in so brazenly? However, this was still her and Damon’s home. When Jeanette was still in a daze, Madison pushed her away and walked straight into her bedroom. "Madison, what are you doing?" "This bedroom will be mine from today onwards," she replied. When Jeanette heard Madison's provocative tone, she took a deep breath and said, "Get out of here." "My dear sister, in

Then, she picked up the phone.“How’ve you been?”Xavier smirked. “Since my own brother has decided to send me to jail, why has he asked you to come all the way here? To insult me?

    “You’re overthinking it!” Elias slapped her hand away.Vanessa laughed bitterly. “Oh, I wish I was, Elias. But the facts prove that you’re in love with Mimi Norton. You’re in love with your best friend’s fiancee!”“That has nothing to do with you!” Elias was like a cat who had his tail trampled on. He was tense.

    Damon reached out and held her wrist. “You don’t believe me? Then come with me.”Jeanette smacked his hand away, looking very stern. “What are you planning? I’m not leaving with you.”Felix suddenly emerged from his room, holding a teddy bear, just as the pair were in the midst of conflict. He widened his large, limpid eyes and looked at Damon at the doorway. His expression filled with immense joy.“Daddy!” The little boy smiled and happily rushed to wrap his arms around Damon’s waist. “Daddy, are you here to take Mommy and me home?”Damon smiled and gazed at his clever son, a god-send, and spoke in a gentle voice. “Of course. Would you like to come home with Daddy?”“Yes!” The little boy’s voice was clear. Then, he carefully turned to Jeanette. “Mommy…”Jeanette frowned. Her heart was a mess. Felix missed his home. He was such a small child and had been forced to endure the conflict between her and Damon. He must have suffered. However, she couldn’t go home with Damon like this.

    Jeanette was standing in the kitchen, staring dazedly at the pot of burnt potatoes, looking exasperated.‘I’m such an idiot! I’ve actually managed to burn potatoes… by boiling them. This is completely unheard of! It’s all my fault for being so careless. I left the potatoes to boil and ran off to do something else. I was so busy that I completely forgot about them, until two minutes ago, when I smelled the burnt potatoes. Then I remembered that mine and Felix’s dinner was in that pot. All of the water had actually evaporated!’Jeanette felt a massive headache as she stared at the blackened potatoes stuck to the pot. This was the only food they had at home. Now that the potatoes were ruined, she had no other choice except to take Felix out for food.She scratched her head in exasperation. Felix appeared from behind her, hugging the teddy bear she had just bought for him, and walked into the kitchen. He lifted his chubby, naively little face and stared pitifully up at Jeanette.“Mommy

    In a restaurant, the surrounding atmosphere was illuminated by a gentle, dim light, which made it all feel warm and comfortable. Mimi stared at Zeke, who was seated in front of her. She looked hesitant and nervous. She released two soft coughs, unable to say the words she wanted to say.‘Get engaged…’These words felt very distant to her. She did believe that Zeke was the kind of man she could spend the rest of her life with, but to prepare herself for marriage with him in such a short period… She couldn’t bring herself to accept it. After all, she and Zeke had only been dating for a very short time. Unfortunately, Vanessa’s threat had rendered it impossible for her to avoid the subject. Upon careful consideration, it made sense. Since she was going to be with Zeke, why would the time of marriage make any difference?Perhaps it was time for her to truly accept this relationship and start a new life.She took a deep breath and looked at Zeke, who sat in front of her, then swallowe

    “Father, even if he is my brother, he should be responsible for his crimes. We live in a civilized society. Besides, he’s worked with an outsider in a plot against our company. You know this. The company wouldn’t have been reduced to this mess if it weren’t for him. Father, your constant shelter and indulgence has caused him to make so many mistakes! If you continue spoiling Xavier, he’ll resort to something even more terrifying in the future,” Damon said with a frown.Christophe smirked in his rage. “Damon, has your search for power driven you mad? How could you be so cruel to your own brother? It’s not like you’re unaware of why I’ve been so indulgent toward him. Xavier has never been of sound mind from a young age. Are you worried that I’d leave the Godfrey Group to him? That he would take everything that belongs to you?”Damon was taken aback. He chuckled bitterly and exasperatedly. “Father, do you really think that that’s what I think? Would you really be bold enough to leave th

    The car drove along the road. The driver, a woman, dressed in black wearing a baseball cap, slowly spoke. “What did you say to her?”Vanessa pursed her lips, looking particularly relaxed. “I told her to get engaged with Zeke within a week.”The sound of the car coming to a screeching halt filled the air. The car stopped in the middle of the road, just like that, forcing a row of cars behind them to stop as well. The driver widened her eyes. Her expression was full of rage. “I thought we agreed to expose her affair with Elias? It was a great opportunity for us to ruin her, and you just gave it up?”Vanessa shrugged, looking unperturbed. “Why would I want to ruin her?”“I thought you hated her? Don’t tell me you’re going soft!”The woman frowned. Her expression was filled with anger as if she resented her for not doing any better.She had been planning for so long, coming up with all sorts of schemes to find someone who hated Mimi just as much as she did.
