Alice knows that Tracy must be up to something. Suddenly, she remembered that Tracy had previously asked her to go on a blind date for her. But Alice had been too preoccupied recently and had forgotten about it.Tracy asked, “Why are you leaving so early? I’m off work as well. So, let’s go out for dinner.”Alice smiled hesitantly and said, “I will be leaving soon Dr. Murray. My two daughters are still at home, and I need to go back home to cook dinner for them.”“That’s fantastic! I have heard that you are a good at cooking, so, let’s meet for drink at your house instead.”Alice was unprepared to host guests in her home. As a result, she waved her hand and said, “To be honest, that’s a bad idea. My house is too messy to entertain guests. Once I clean it up, I will invite everyone to my house.”“That’s okay! I’m not busy right now. How about I come to your house and clean it up for you? The hospital places high value of harmonious relationship among co-workers.”Alice could not stop he
A shiver ran down Alice’s spine. She knew that if she didn’t go on that blind date this afternoon, Tracy would hunt her down with a scalpel.After replying to Tracy’s text message, Alice sighed and looked at the exit in front of her phone. Her phone then rang again.Alice frowned and picked up the phone, saying, “I replied to your text message, and I will be on the blind date for you. You don’t have to keep telling me that.”Then Alice heard a man ask, “What? A blind date?”Alice was taken aback and looked down at her phone. It was not Tracy’s number. Alice recognized the caller and asked, “Zayden is that you?”“It’s the weekend, so why don’t we go to the dinner?” Zayden said after a brief pause.Alice froze and said, “I’m not available right now. Beside, you don’t have to invite me to dinner.”Zayden asked unhappily, “Oh? So you are going on a blind date? With who?”Alice was at a loss for what to say. When she looked up, Aria was already walking towards the car, so she said right aw
“No,” Rishan said with her doubts in his mind. Still, he chose to sit down and listen to Zayden.“Here is the thing. You know that Tracy doesn’t want to get married at all and I also know about it. And there is no way she will go on the blind date herself. She must have had already arranged for someone else to go on the blind date for her. Then what’s the point of you going to the blind date, if the date isn’t her?” Zayden analyzed calmly.‘Wow, I didn’t expect that you know so much about Tracy, Zayden. No wonder you can be a business legend in the business circle for years! Yeah, you are right. It’s true that Tracy wants to be single forever, and she was forced to go through blind date this time,’ Rishan thought to himself.“As the two of us have similar heights and figures, I’m thinking that we can switch our identities and then I’ll go on the blind date for you. And once the date is over, I’ll make Tracy be with you as soon as possible. How’s that sound?”“Okay.” Although Rishan ha
Alice was sure that saying that would irritate “Rishan”. But “Rishan” was only surprised for a while before quickly calmed down. He said, “It’s okay. I don’t mind.”“I apologize. You are a perfect man, and you are probably speechless about having no blind date, right? And you met a weirdo like me.”“That’s fine,” Zayden said calmly, which caught Alice off guard. She had never seen such a considerate man before, so she suspected he acted like a gentleman.While the waiter was serving the meal, Alice, measured “Rishan” and tried to look for the slightest flow in him.“Doctor Murray, I heard you are very busy with work, so you must be struggling to take care of your children on your own.”Alice chuckled and said, “It’s fine, I’m not that busy anyway. To be honest, I don’t want to have any more children in the future because I already have two.”Rishan nodded and said, “Okay, great! I also think that way. I don’t want more kids either.”Hearing that Alice was taken aback.“I am not sure I
At that moment, Zayden interrupted her, “Alice, please believe me. I wasn’t the one who forced you to sign the contract back then. It was because my butler messed it up that you ended up being my surrogate.”“Well, I can’t blame it all on you as Alicia was the one who major reason why the incident had happened, and now she was already six feet underground. And our children have already reached their puberty. It’s pointless to discuss who was right or wrong at this point,” Alice said, put on a wry smile, and took another sip of the drink.“Right….” Zayden tightened his grip, his knuckles turning white“Okay, where was I? Right. However, even though I am still haunted by the past, I know that there is nothing I can do about it. It’s not like I can just turn the clock backward as I want. What is settled in the past is already unchangeable and gradually after all the struggle I have suffered, I finally learn to move on.”“What do you mean? Do you mean that you have finally gotten over me?
Wiping her tears, Alice continued in a choking voice, “I can still feel the coldness, despair and pain I had when the doctor and nurses thrust those cold medical tools inside me and dragged my Aron out of me. By the time he was out, he was already purple and breathless. The doctors and nurses tried to resurrect him, but failed. At last, I had no choice but to bury him in the cold grave. And now he was 1000 of miles away from us on his own,”“Then we should bring him back. England in his homeland and we can constantly visit him if we bring him back.”“Yes, we should bring him back,” Alice nodded.“Alice again, I’m sorry for what happened in the past, Since we have cleared things out, can we still be together again? I still love you. And Max Elena and Aaron would be happy if they know that we get back together,” Having plucked up his courage, Zayden finally said the words he wanted to say to Alice a long time ago.“I’m sorry, Zayden. I wish I could, but I just can’t. I please forgive me
Alice felt her heart miss a beat and her breathing became rapid. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.After that, Alice took a deep breath and pressed her back against the door. She locked her gaze on Zayden for a long moment before gradually relaxing and asking, “How much did you drink?”“I didn’t drink much. I was not even drunk!” Zayden answered as his eyes were out of focus from time to time.Alice frowned. She knew that drunks often defended themselves by claiming they didn’t have too much to drink. She thought, ‘You were lying. Zayden. I can see right through you. Yeah, you are the type of person who won't give up on something, or someone you want, until there is no way back. I should have thought of it earlier. Whatever. As long as I contact your assistant and ask him to take you away. You will be out of my side soon, and won't have to worry about you coming to my place uninvited again, I guess.’After collecting her thoughts, Alice asked, “How did you get her
Noel still had not arrived a while later. It was a stormy weekend night, so he drove cautiously and carefully. He slowly slowed down because there were occasional traffic accidents at night.Meanwhile, Alice cleaned up the dishes, and the house still smelled like spaghetti. She then poured a glass of hot milk for Zayden.After that, Alice put her head down and washed the dishes. She appeared calm, but she was struggling on the inside as if her heart was also raining.Time did not allow her to forget Zayden. She still had a love-hate relationship with him and knew that, no matter how much time passed, she would feel the same way about him.The living room was unusually quiet. Alice returned from doing the dishes to find Zayden lying on the couch. She tried to wake him up, but he looked tired and haggard. He was asleep, but he was still frowning like he was sorrowful.Zayden had already finished the milk, leaving only an empty glass on the table. Ali
“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
