Adrian nodded, “When Alice left, Zayden had a big fight with grandpa about Max’s custody. Zayden insisted at that time, Alice bring Max to United States, but grandpa disagreed. To make grandpa agree with him, Zayden even said that grandpa could decide his marriage.”“No wonder Zayden talked about matchmaking.”“Max didn’t live with Alice and Grandpa still remembered Zayden’s promise. He has been arranging blind dates for Zayden for the past few years, but they often fight with each other over it.”Nian said in astonishment, “Why? What are they fighting about? I thought Zayden is a mature man!”“He isn’t the gentleman he seems to be. He said he had to do it for Grandpa, but he’s not going to do it. That’s why Max was born. Mom, what exactly did Zayden say on the blind date?”After a brief movement of thought, Giselle frowned and said, “He had begin by informing the girls that he had an 11 year old son. He had also tell them that they had their own property notarized before getting marr
“Since you’re calling me, it’s quite unnecessary for you to send me an invitation on purpose,” Zayden said, looking at the invitation on his desk.“No, I believe it is completely necessary. I have been looking forward to having a daughter for a long time, so you must attend this party.”“I have been extremely busy recently. I will be in London at the end of the month on business.”“Huh? It seems that you are jealous of me! You are jealous that I have a daughter, but you don’t…” Trevor abruptly came to a halt and didn’t finish his sentence. He was silent for a moment before saying, “You have no choice but to come. Do you want to be a God godfather of my daughter? I will give you a fair shot!”“Maybe,” Zayden mumbled, unhappily.Trevor’s one-year-old daughter was the Apple of his eyes. So, he planned to throw a party for his daughter at the best hotel in town and he invited a lot of celebrities. Zayden had initially refused to attend the party and had turned it down several times. He wa
After turning around and looking at Nian for a moment, Alice asked, “Nian, is that you?”The Blue Eagle’s Special Forces had many female soldiers who had previously served her. Alice had never imagined that she would meet Nian here.Nian wrapped her arms around Alice and didn’t say anything for a long time.“Alright let’s go inside.”“Okay.”The operating room smelled like sterile water and blood, just like any other hospital. And the soldiers were still unconscious in the hospital. But after checking his injuries, Nina exhaled a sigh of relief and sat down face to face with Alice.Nian said, ‘I didn’t expect to meet you here, Alice. I mentioned to Adrian about you before I got here. We had not seen you in years and were wondering what you were up to. Wow! It turned out that you had become a doctor!”Alice laughed and explained, “I have always want to be a doctor. I was a medical student in a college before dropping out because I was pregnant. After I left Rose city, I studied in medi
“Sir I am a doctor from Row City Hospital and my name is Vincent,” a young male doctor said to Zayden flatteringly.Nodding, Zayden sat down and drained his glass of wine. It was evening, and the sound of birds chirping outside added to the eerie atmosphere.Henry walked around the station, and stood next to Zayden and whispered, “I asked around, and all the doctors are new here. They only arrived here three days ago, but only that doctor named Vincent is always here. He was drunk and I got some information from him.”Zayden’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “What did he say?”“Miss Brown did stay here for a while, but we are too late. She left three days ago with the previous group of volunteers. And it looked like there is a conflict between Vicente and her. That doctor hinted to me to let us transfer him back to Row City. What do you think?”Zayden said coldly, “Of course not!”Henry coughed awkwardly and replied, “I see.”Zayden was depressed. He came here to see Alice, but he was not
Aria froze for a moment after hearing Alice’s words, then exhaled a sign of relief.Knowing she had hit the nail on the head, Alice added, “Damian is not that type of person, and Areiza is not, either. You think that Areiza is not treating you well, right? But you still have me. Don’t worry. After all, you will be an adult soon. You won’t be able to rely on Damian for the rest of your life.”Aria blinked in surprise and appeared distressed. She had always been a talker and had not said anything else until she got home. Alice thought she was odd. She looked at Aria in the passenger seat and found her asleep. Then she sighed and turned to the cool air conditioning, driving slightly slower.“Aria!” exclaimed the sweet voice as soon as Alice opened the door of the apartment about half an hour later.Aria also screamed and dashed into the house to wrap her arms around Eliana. She pinched Eliana’s cheek and said, “You have put on some weight, have not you? I suppose Alice cooking is better
“I came to read some information and learned about that patient,” Alice explained as she quickly hid her phone in her pocket.Looking at a computer screen, Tracy said, “Don’t try to trick me! You work as a pediatric psychiatrist. You are only here to observe him, but not treat him. And this patient is not even a child. Why are you so worried about him? Is related to you?”Alice said calmly, “No, I just wanted to learn more about his illness. I don’t want to do anything, if you don’t believe me, feel free to ask me any questions you as you like .”“Really?”“Really.”Alice decided not to say anything. Tracy could not get anything out of her because she wouldn’t reveal her patient’s privacy. Then Tracy blurted out, “Are you this old man's Illegitimate daughter?”Hearing her words, Alice stumbled and nearly fell on the floor as a result to her
Eliana and Aria were shopping in a downtown mall. Aria had dreadlocks on her head, and she wore baggy pants and a tight red top. Eliana was dressed in a puffy pink dress, ballerina shoes, and colorful hairpins. She was only eleven years old, and she was a little shorter than Aria. Yet, she was already a pretty little girl.The two walked through the mall, drawing a lot of attention. Aria led Eliana into a store and handed her a studded lethal skirt, saying, “This store’s designs are fantastic! Why don’t you give it a shot?”Eliana rolled her eyes and pointed to the shiny studs on it, saying, “This dress doesn’t suit me, it’s not my style! Why are there so many studs? It’s not 2003, for God’s sake!”“Come on, you can’t stay the same forever! You should try new things. Eliana, do you enjoy dressing up as a colourful birthday cake all your life?”Eliana blinked, “Try more new
Alice’s eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn’t help but blush, “No, nothing,” she replied.“Dr. Brown, help me see how the injury on my arm is, will you?” Zayden calmly held up his bandage arm and looked at Alice. He appeared to be only here to see a doctor.Alice was at a loss for what to do. The trending doctor in the ER had gone home to celebrate the anniversary with his wife, leaving her alone to see patients. She thought no one would come, and she didn’t expect to see Zayden.As she removed the bandage, she noticed Zayden looking at her, and he didn’t seem to think it was a coincidence.‘Who come to the hospital at 2:00 AM for a wound that I was already bandaged the day before?’ Alice thought.As Alice unwrapped the bandage, she saw the severe wound inside. She then stopped thinking about anything else and focused on treating the wound. Her hand trembled as she asked, “Who b
“Mom, don’t come over!” Eliana and Max yelled at the same time.“Alice, you are such a lucky bitch. You have such two wonderful children. I have worked hard my entire life, but now I have nothing in the end,” Jessica said in an envious tone.‘Did you just mention children? Could be that you suddenly wanted to meet Gary before you die because he’s your only family?’ At the thought, Alice gently asked “Jessica, do you want to meet Gary?”Instead of answering Alice's question, Jessica remained silent. She then bowed her head and began trembling.“I will call him right now. He just left, so he will come back soon,” Alice added.“Is Gary really coming back?”“Yeah. He’s doing great this year. He has always get high grades on his test and he is popular school. He is just as smart as you are.” Alice praised Jessica in the hopes of changing her mind.“He didn’t want to see me. I tried to talk to him this year, but his maid always mistook me for a beggar and told me get lost.” Jessica spoke in
A woman in a janitor’s uniform rushed out of the tool room as Eliana and Charlotte left the restroom. The woman then pressed a fruit knife against Eliana’s neck. Eliana had no idea what was going on because it happened so quickly. She could not stop shaking when she felt the cold metal against her skin.Charlotte was so scared that she screamed. Then she immediately covered her mouth. After hearing her voice many people made their way to the restroom. However, no one dared to approach them, they all stood back and watched.Eliana grabbed the woman’s arm from behind as she wanted to wrestle her to the ground. She thanked Alice were forcing her to take so many taekwondo classes at this moment.However, the woman realized what Eliana was trying to do. She whispered in a husky voice, “Don’t do anything. I will slit your throat if you move one more time. By then your blood will flow like a water flower and you will die tragically.”The woman’s voice was so husky that it made Eliana feel li
Dominic saw Eliana the moment she walked into the room. He looked at her as if he could not take his eyes off her. Eliana shone like a star that was even more dazzling than the bright chandelier. Whenever he looked at her, his heart beat faster, and his palms sweat.Ever since Eliana entered the hall, Dominic had been looking at her. He watched her as she walked around the venue and to greet the guests and he was disappointed when he noticed that many young boys were looking at her as much as he was.Later on, the host asked Eliana and Max to come on the stage. They sang the birthday song together and then catch the multi-tiered cake. Zayden then announced that the party was started.It was not until then that Eliana was free. When she saw him after she left the stage, Eliana moved quickly towards Dominic. Every step she took seemed to step into his heart, causing it to beat like a drum.Dominic had been waiting for Eliana to become an adult for the past two years, but she had no idea
After dinner, Eliana comes back to her apartment. She took a quick shower before going to bed. As she lay down in bed, she checked her phone and found tons of unread messages in the Team Wolf Chat Group. Eliana was supposed to join her teammates in celebrating their victory after the game, but she didn’t because her parents showed up unexpectedly.Eliana’s teammates not only posted pictures from dinner in the chat room, but they also mentioned for several times. Eliana was about to go to bed after replying to everyone's message, but the moment she discovered Dominic had also texted her, she perished her thoughts.Dominic had become extremely busy since he retired from the e-sports circle two years ago and returned to London to take over his family’s business. Recently, instead of having time to play games with her, he could only teach her practical strategies occasionally.Dominic returned to Rose City this time just to watch their game. However, Dominic and Eliana didn’t even have ti
After the game was over, the lights in the hall lit up and the host invited two teams onto the stage after congratulating the winners.Max and his parents took a seat in the first row. People around them began to whisper in surprise, and they only stopped when Team Wolf showed up on the stage.The stage was well-lit, but the auditorium was dark, so Eliana had no idea her parents, whom she had not seen in a long time, had arrived on the scene.Standing on this stage, Eliana smiled while waving at the audience. She sparkled like a diamond and nothing seemed to be able to dim her light.Meanwhile, Alice looked at Eliana as if she was her biggest fire. She felt proud of Eliana from the bottom of her heart.Initially, Alice was furious when she learned that Eliana wanted to become an e-sports player. However, she began to regret it after Eliana became a world champion. ‘If I stopped her back, then I would have stopped her from succeeding. Thank goodness I didn’t do so. Alice thought to her
Two years later, an important match took place in a hall in the center of Rose City. Eliana’s team, the Wolfs would play against a team from another country.Teen Wolf had previously won the world championship twice while their opponent was a dark horse team that had only recently formed. As a result, game lovers from both countries eagerly anticipated this match.At the same time, this was the most crucial match for Eliana since she joined Team Wolf two years ago. She would be a member of the world championship team if she won the game. However, she would lose her best chance to win the World Championship if she lost it. Therefore, Eliana took this match very seriously.Because the Dream High Group was one of the match sponsors, the live room was packed with people Eliana knew. Although ticker prizes had risen to several thousand dollars per person, Max could still obtain tickets for his family.At that moment, Trevor, Maggie, and their children sat in the center of the front row. Da
Henry was very efficient. Two days later, he managed to place the information he had gathered about Dominic on Max’s desk.Then Max started reading it carefully.Dominic Deleon was Dominic's full name. He was born and grew up in London, and he was twenty years old. His great-grandfather was a politician who once held a high govt position. His grandfather was a successful businessman who owned a large corporation. As for his father, he was a businessman who made the company well.Dominic was the family’s only child, but he was uninterested in business. He fell in love with e-sports in college and soon signed up with an E-sports company. Later, he made it to one of the best teams in the country and was named captain due to his outstanding performance. He once led his team to a world championship victory.Before moving to Rose City Dominic attended a university in London. However after he fell out with his parents, he transferred to a college in Rose City because several of his teammates
“Do you really want to know about it?” Dominic asked after some thought.“Yes!” Eliana said.“I might tell you after we get to know each other better. But, you know, we are not even friends now,” He said.“Well, I’m not interested in that anymore.” Eliana said. She became impatient, so she stopped talking to Dominic.“Are you angry?” Dominic asked.“No.”“I know you won’t get angry that easily.”“That’s because I know getting angry easily is bad for my health. It’s nothing to do with you.”Hearing Eliana’s words, Dominic burst out laughing. He knew Eliana loved sashimi, so he gave her that plate. “Well, we are friends now,” he said.At that time, Charlotte was talking to Kevin and Max was talking to Jason. On the other hand, Max kept a close eye on Dominic and paid attention to his every move.Dominic quickly realized this, so he turned to look at Max. The two boys then locked their gaze on each other. Max appeared weary and hostile whereas Dominic didn’t seem to be bothered by Max’s
Alice nearly fell on her knees and then stood up straight with all her strength. Seeing that Zayden was in more pain. He wanted to rush to Alice and help her out of the situation at that moment, but he had to wait for the right time. Therefore, he stood in the crowd, silent.“I’m just a doctor. I’m not that capable enough to defeat mercenaries.” Alice said, through gritted teeth.Hearing that Victoria kicked her once more. “Are you trying to fool me? I’m sure you know some special forces! Isn’t Adrian Taylor is your brother-in-law.”Alice let out a painful groan. She took a deep breath and said, “I had no idea you know it. But sadly, none of them in Flesoil.”“That’s fine. I can wait! They will agree to my request, as long as you are my hostage.”Zayden’s gun was in his pocket, but he didn’t have the guts to touch it.At that time, Victoria’s gun remain pressed against Alice’s temple, making him nervous. His hands were sweating, and he was even more nervous than he had when he saved E
