Jayden looked down at her and emphasized, "My affairs don't concern you."
"You! You only know how to act in front of Eranthe. Does she know about your smoking, drinking, and fighting? I know all about it, Jayden. You're not some sweet little brother. What are you pretending for?"
Jayden chuckled, "You can go tell her if you want."
Eranthe would only believe Scarlett if pigs could fly.
Seeing that he was completely indifferent and unresponsive to her threats, Scarlett, infuriated, took a few quick steps, directly running up to him.
In contrast to Jayden's calm demeanor, Scarlett's frantic appearance seemed both childish and speechless.
As if anyone cared.
Scarlett went home, slamming the front door loudly.
Jayden didn't spare her a glance and went straight into the house.
"Mom."
Susan was doing aerobics in front of the TV, "Oh, you went for team-building. Why are you back?"
Jayden changed his shoes and place
"Jayden probably told my aunt about my hospitalization.""Is she coming?"Eranthe shook her head. "I talked her out of it."Colin stood up. "I'll go to the restroom."Eranthe wasn't in the mood to watch the movie. Deceiving Urania weighed heavily on her conscience, but she couldn't reveal the real reason for her hospitalization; it would only make Urania worry.Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the door. Soon after, Urania, looking pale, walked in.Seeing Eranthe alone in the large hospital room, her eyes turned red. "Elsa, why is your complexion so bad?"The nurse behind her apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Taylor. I couldn't stop her. She rushed straight to the room without even asking.""It's okay; she's my aunt.""How are you feeling now?" Urania looked at Eranthe with tearful eyes. "Elsa, how could you keep something like this from me?"Already going through a tough time, now Eranthe had to deal with
His initial reaction was that it might be a scam call.The Rodriguez’s Group was a giant in the real estate industry with a presence nationwide. They had a significant fortune long before Adrian started his business.This wasn't a circle Adrian could normally access."This is the Rodriguez’s Group. If you're available, you can come to our company. I heard you have a batch of building materials."Adrian ran his hand through his hair. "Are you serious?""Of course."Adrian didn't think twice, grabbing his car keys and heading straight to the Rodriguez’s Group. Morris personally welcomed him.It was only when he entered the CEO's office that Adrian realized this was real.When the contract was placed in front of him, Adrian couldn't believe it. "Can I ask how the Rodriguez’s knew about my company's situation?"Morris raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Of course, it's because Mr. Rodriguez has a personal
After hanging up, she noticed that the prawns Colin had peeled for her were all gone; he had eaten them himself.Eranthe: ...Then, she tried to pick some herself.Colin quickly snatched it away from her fork.Eranthe went for the corn spare rib soup.In the next moment, Colin took the bowl away.Eranthe dropped her knife and fork. "What do you mean?""Didn't you just establish that we two aren't familiar with each other?"Eranthe's expression turned cold. "Then how should I have answered?""Truthfully.""I'd rather not say anything!" If she wasn't eating, she might as well stick to her diet.Thinking this, Eranthe stood up abruptly, intending to go upstairs to get her luggage and head home. She didn't want to endure this humiliation any longer.Colin quickly pulled her back. "You're so temperamental. Can't I say a few words without making you angry?"Ignoring him and without his strength, she
"Even without today's incident, this ring should have been given to you many years ago."The style of the ring was from several years ago. Adrian had taken it out years ago. Scarlett had attempted suicide by cutting her wrists, and that's why the ring had not been put on her finger for a long time.This time, facing a similar situation where one abandoned him and the other stayed and even helped him, Adrian felt that if he betrayed Urania again for Scarlett, he would truly be sorry to her.Shaken by the situation, Scarlett rushed out of the neighborhood and ran towards the road without even looking.Jayden grabbed her, "Are you looking for trouble? It's a red light now, be careful. If you want to die, go far away."Even dying at the entrance of the neighborhood doesn't seem to worry about bad luck."Let go of me! Let go!" Scarlett yelled and struggled.Jayden actually released her, saying, "You're crazy, aren't you?""I am look
The cat's belly, round from eating, rolled as Colin used his fingers to push the cat away, only for it to pounce back."Elsa's mommy," Colin murmured softly.Eranthe felt a moment of confusion. "Did you just call me?""Mm."Even though they didn't quite fit the traditional mold of a couple, they inadvertently became parents to a cat.Eranthe didn't want to ask if he liked her, but he certainly didn't dislike her. However, most of the time, Colin was an enigma to her.In the evening, he had a video conference, and Eranthe also wanted to attend to her work.After returning from the garden, they each went about their tasks. Colin had his meeting in the study, and Eranthe sat cross-legged on a small table, working on the documents she needed to submit the next day.Ana's due date was approaching, and the tasks assigned to Eranthe were increasing. She was now responsible for organizing the content of the morning meetings.Mor
But why, on his territory, was she so restless?At that moment, an arm reached out, pulling her into an embrace. Leaning against his warm chest, Eranthe involuntarily curled her fingers."Why are you so far away?" His voice echoed in her ears.Eranthe suddenly asked, "Colin.""Hmm?""Do you, like me?"She had never asked such a question, but she couldn't hold back anymore. If he didn't like her, why would he do so much?"Hmm."For a moment, she thought she might have misheard. She turned her head abruptly, staring at him.The air seemed to stagnate, and she listened to her own heartbeat. Then she asked, "Do you love me?"This time, he didn't answer, and his gaze remained as clear as before.Eranthe's heart suddenly felt cold.Perhaps his liking was just a lack of dislike, a hormonal attraction between a man and a woman, but far from evolving into love.They could do anything intimate between a
He didn't expect to see Colin here.Colin was stunned, frowned, and asked, "Why do you ask like that?""I saw her pulling a suitcase alone in our area at night. It probably takes an hour to reach the entrance on foot."After saying this, he asked the waitress next to him to light a cigarette.However, Colin directly asked, "When was that?""Just now. I drove over, and it took about half an hour. She should be close to the entrance by now."Colin didn't believe it and immediately called. The result was that Eranthe hung up the phone.Frank looked at it with a smile and mocked, "Well, you're just like me now."Colin wasn't in the mood to banter with Frank at the moment; he was puzzled about what that woman was up to."Colin, what's going on? Did you two have a fight?" Harold added fuel to the fire.With a cold face, Colin questioned, "You saw her alone, so you let her continue walking? Didn't you think of bringing h
"I want to go home, and I'm already standing downstairs at my own home. I have nothing more to say to Mr. Rodriguez. You can think whatever you want. I not only have a bad temper, but I am also sentimental. It's all so obvious. you'd better find someone more obedient to continue playing with you."After saying this, Eranthe tried to move forward with her suitcase, but in the next moment, she was grabbed by the man."Make it clear. What did I do wrong? Just now, Harold and the others called me. I was on my way back a little while. I didn't leave you alone there.""It doesn't matter how you see it. The final result won't change. I don't want to continue playing with you. Is that not acceptable?"Colin pulled her into his arms. "Play? Do you think I've been playing with you all this time? Just because I didn't answer your question tonight, Eranthe, be honest. Did you fall in love with me and couldn't stand even a bit of neglect? Haven't I treated you well en
