Elias immediately wanted to help her up onto the bed.However, Jeanette merely turned her head away as tears silently flowed down her cheeks.At that moment, Damon walked into her ward.By the time Damon found out about Jeanette’s situation, her surgery had already ended. Jenny had not contacted him the moment the accident occurred.In fact, Damon had rushed there together with Olivia.When Damon entered her ward, his expression instantly changed when he saw that Elias was helping her back
“Elias, I’m tired. I’d like to rest for a moment.”Jeanette shut her eyes after saying that.Despite having just woken up, she actually felt extremely tired.Actually, Jeanette had the exact same dream a moment ago.She was still the naive girl in her teens who had fallen for a very specific person at first sight. Despite everyone else saying that it was not a possible phenomenon, she ended up experiencing that very thing.She never thought of wanting to confess her feelings to the boy beca
Damon went to the hospital after that.When he arrived before Jeanette’s ward, he hesitated slightly.Then, the woman inside suddenly said, “Why aren’t you coming in?”Damon was startled for a moment before he pushed the door open.Behind the door, Jeanette was instantly stunned.Initially, she had been under the impression that it was Elias who was standing outside. In fact, she had never thought that it was Damon for even a split second.“Perfect timing. There’s something I want to tell
Her smile was still becoming brighter and brighter.‘Who would’ve thought that divorce would actually be so simple?‘Such a simple movement, yet I got tortured by it for so long.‘Finally, it’s over… It’s finally over…‘Damon Godfrey, now, it’s me who’s tired.’After signing, Damon turned around and left.The moment he slammed the door and left, Jeanette finally could not maintain her smile any longer. Instead, it was replaced by tears welling up in her eyes as they flowed down.She took
If looks could kill, Jeanette would have definitely killed Damon by now as she gave him the death glare.However, Damon still pretended as if he could not see her as he continued to calmly scoop up more soup and fed her.“I don’t want to eat anymore.” Jeanette’s smile was stiff as she blurted out the words through her gnashed teeth.However, Damon still adamantly fed her and said with a gentle voice, “I know that you’re not in the mood after losing the baby, so you definitely won’t have much
He bent over and gently lifted her chin. “You can carry on dreaming of leaving me to go enjoy your life.”…Soon, Jeanette was able to get discharged from the hospital since she was a rather healthy person, to begin with.Jenny went to pick her up on that day.Damon did not show up, but Jeanette thought that it was fine. At the very least, she would not have to feel frustrated when she saw him.Jenny could not help but ask Jeanette, “Jeanette, have you really thought it through? Are you rea
Jeanette could not help but feel slightly frustrated as she looked at Jenny, who hurriedly said, “I’ve got nothing to do with this! I didn’t tell him that you were going to come back here!”Damon knocked on the door with his fingers. “Are you planning to stand there and chat any further? I’ve been waiting here for more than an hour already.”‘Mr. Godfrey’s time is precious right down to the second. Like hell I’m going to believe that you’ve been waiting for me here for that long.’Without eve
“What money?”“Your mom took $150,000 from me previously. Since you refuse to return with me, give me back the money, and I’ll leave immediately.”Jeanette was in complete disbelief as she looked at Jenny, who immediately lowered her head in shame.‘Looks like Damon’s telling the truth.’“Why did you take so much money from him? Hurry up and give it back to him!”Without daring to antagonize her daughter, Jenny hurriedly returned to her room and came out with a bank card.Still, she was a
…In jail, Xavier stared at Jeanette’s face through a layer of glass. His expression was filled with hatred.Jeanette stared at him and took a deep breath. 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 really are a match made in heaven.”Jeanette sighed. Actually, Xavier was a very smart man, on par with Damon. Besides, when she had first joined the Godf
In the car, Mimi turned to look at Zeke, who was next to her. For a moment there, she had no idea what to say to him.They had pretty much silently admitted to the media’s claims over their engagement. Over the past few days, Zeke had been making preparations for their engagement party. She had been the one to suggest getting married, but now she was beginning to feel cold feet. She wasn’t sure if she was ready to spend the rest of her life with Zeke.Zeke seemed to be in a good mood. He had
“Damon Godfrey! It was you, wasn’t it? How could you do this to me?” His expression was ruthless. His eyes were filled with a terrifying expression, unlike ever before. He looked like a wild animal that had been suppressing its urges for a very long time.Jeanette had never seen such a terrifying look on Xavier’s face before. She paused in fright as she stared at Xavier from afar.Damon seemed perfectly calm. “You brought this on yourself, Xavier. I know what you’ve done. It’s just that I neve
“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. He had grown increasingly annoyed now that the heart of the matter had been prodded at.“Nothing to do with me? Elias, do you really think that I was only in love with your position?
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. However, who would have th
