Darwin froze for a moment.“What nonsense are you talking about?”He slammed the table hard. Jackie trembled and then confirmed that Darwin really didn't know. But he's Secretary Woods' confidant, isn't he? How could he not know? During that period, Secretary Woods lost a lot of weight..."Yes, I remember now. You were in Europe for half a month."Darwin was already in chaos.“Jackie, I’m not in the mood for jokes!”"I also wish I were joking, but... Secretary Woods personally told me that she needed time off to bury her relative!"“It’s impossible!”Darwin stood up and shouted. But the next second, he suddenly remembered Fiona's status update from the end of April. The grayish tone. Unconcealed sorrow."Call Fiona!" Darwin said in a deep voice.Jackie nodded and quickly took out his phone. The call was dialed, but the cold mechanical voice greeted them again."The number you have dialed is currently switched off..."“It’s switched off.” Jackie looked at Darwin with fear."Find out he
A sudden panic engulfed Darwin like never before.He walked into the bedroom. The once cozy space is now completely empty.Darwin searched around. There wasn't a trace left of her existence. The bathroom, the dressing room...All that remains are his belongings. She left decisively, without a single thought of him. Darwin felt anger welling up inside initially. He scattered his belongings all over the floor in anger.After venting, fear started to take hold again.He slumped on the sofa and took out his phone to call Fiona.Power off, power off… still powered off.At almost noon, Hathaway called.Darwin looked at his phone and remembered Fiona's resolute resignation that day.He hung up the phone. After a moment, Anniston called. Darwin remained silent for a moment, then answered.“You’re not at the office?” Anniston asked."No," Darwin replied in a cold tone.Suddenly, he felt a surge of anger and a question arose in his mind.Why must there be a marriage alliance?Solomons has grown
"Sis, it's time to eat!"Burl’s voice came from behind.Fiona withdrew her gaze from Sally's phone.“Coming!”his year, Burl has turned 19 years old.Completely different from four years ago, when Fiona first met him, he was thin, short, and scrawny.“Sis, I’m 184 now, impressive, right?”As soon as Fiona sat down, Burl had a proud look, as if seeking praise."What's so impressive about you? It's Grandpa who is impressive." Fiona looked at the kind-eyed old man.Old Allmond had a major illness a few years ago from which he didn't fully recover. He was still thin, and his complexion didn't look that great. However, perhaps because Burl had grown up and was sensible, he was in a good mood and always appeared cheerful, without any worries."Fiona, this big chicken leg is for you. You've gotten much skinnier compared to the last time I saw you."“Yeah, I told her, but she didn’t believe me.” Sally chimed in."Now that you're here with Grandpa, eat more and let Fiona gain some weight too!"
"Mr. Solomon..."The subordinate noticed Darwin’s expression and cautiously called out."Leave."Darwin waved his hand, a weary gesture betraying his exhaustion.The subordinate hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left.That night, Darwin couldn't sleep at all. The next day, before dawn, he drove to the cemetery.He didn’t really know Fiona’s grandmother.They had never really met. Not knowing what to buy for the offering, he ended up getting a bouquet of white chrysanthemums."Sir, are you here to pay respects to Mrs. Aishah?" The caretaker hurried over, looking surprised to see Darwin.This handsome man with an imposing presence was the first-time visitor.“Yes.” Darwin nodded. “It’s my first time here, could you show me the way?”"Oh!" The caretaker was very happy.Usually, only Fiona from the Woods family came to pay her respects.He was certainly pleased to have another person show respect.“What brings you here today?” the caretaker asked as they walked."No." Darwin
Darwin watched.An unknown anger suddenly surged up with him. He picked up a bottle of liquor from the side table and smashed the TV to pieces.On the other hand, Fiona was completely unaware of Darwin's irritability and fear.In the border town, unlike in the big cities, the alliance between conglomerates didn’t attract any attention.Fiona and Burl's grandfather went to the morning market before dawn.Since being with Darwin, Fiona had felt as if her life was on hold every day.It had been a long time since she had experienced this kind of hustle and bustle of life.They spent the whole day shopping and eating, and Fiona’s mood couldn’t have been better.When they returned in the evening, Ashton was on the phone, angrily scolding the newly appointed company boss.Fiona, in a good mood, helped her sort out the ideas for the project that the boss had given her.Ashton was quite pleased and urged Fiona to return quickly.Fiona grumbled and went to write the proposal.For the next few d
"I'm sorry..." Dagmar furrowed his brow.“There’s no need to apologize.” Fiona smiled and asked, “When did you come back?”"Last month," Dagmar replied, pointing to his work badge on his chest. "Now I'm a pediatrician!"Fiona felt a bit puzzled. "Dagmar, you've already immigrated. Why did you come back to work here?"Dagmar felt a bitter pang in his heart. He couldn’t reveal the real reason now."For what else, of course, for the development of Armie Country's pediatric department!" Dagmar tousled Fiona's hair and continued, "Do you have plans for lunch? Brother will treat you!"Fiona glanced at the time. Although she had come early in the morning, there were still examinations, reports to collect, and queues to wait in. In the blink of an eye, it was already almost noon.“Sure!” Fiona happily agreed.Dagmar went to change his jacket, while Fiona waited in place outside the pediatric department. Occasionally, she overheard nurses passing by discussing Dagmar."Dr. Dagmar is so handso
The next day, Dagmar changed into a black suit, meticulously groomed his hair, and even wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, appearing even more refined and cultured.He stood still for a moment, taking in the sight of Fiona in her black down jacket from afar.She ran toward him, her nose red from the morning mist, and her clear eyes seemingly veiled by a layer of mist.The passenger door opened, and she swiftly jumped inside, rubbing her reddened hands."Temperature dropped suddenly. It's too cold!" she exclaimed.The car's heat was turned on.Fiona felt better after a while."Breakfast," Dagmar handed the breakfast to Fiona.Fiona thought it must be bought, perhaps some buns or porridge. But when she opened it..."You made this?" Fiona was taken aback."Yes," Dagmar nodded. "Eat it while it's hot.""Mar, you used to be a kitchen disaster, and now..." Fiona trailed off. "Can you cook?" Fiona exclaimed in surprise."The food abroad is not tasty, so I learned how to cook o
"Fiona!"Dagmar stood up, looking anxious as he tried to approach.Darwin's bodyguards also rushed over.Without a word, they blocked Dagmar.Darwin coldly looked at him. Just moments ago in the car, he received a few videos. Fiona was by his side, laughing heartily. She even bought him ice cream to eat. His hand rested around Fiona’s waist, tightly embracing her. Bending down slightly, he leaned closer to her ear. It seemed as though he was kissing Fiona's hair.But with a voice only they could hear, he whispered, "Fiona, do you want him dead?"A chill surged up Fiona's spine from the soles of her feet."Brother Dagmar, I'm fine. This man... he's my boss. You should go back first."When Fiona referred to him as her boss, his hand around her waist visibly tightened.Dagmar's gaze swept over Darwin's hand. That look was clearly filled with worry and anger.However, it still stung Fiona. Which respectable boss would openly embrace their female employee's waist like this, in front of eve
