“I make the rules.”Harmonia was dumbfounded. Her attempt to get out of his arms failed once again.He arrived at his residence, and the cold-toned interior decor appeared even colder in winter. Harmonia shivered involuntarily.When Dimas saw this, he frowned slightly and quickly instructed someone to raise the temperature. Harmonia immediately shook her head, stopping him as she said, “It's warm here.”“You were shivering just now.”“This was what made me feel cold,” Harmonia said, gesturing toward the layout and color scheme of the house. “A young lover’s home shouldn't be like this.”He smirked and said, “So, what should Harmonia's young lover be like?”Harmonia had a sudden inspiration. “Leave it to me?”He nodded, then immediately instructed the servants to cooperate. His residence was indeed too large with a predominantly cold color scheme. It would be extremely difficult to even change it partially.Harmonia could only start by making changes to his bedroom first. Chang
“When you married Absalom.”Harmonia's eyes widened in shock, and her heart suddenly trembled.“So... so you…”His lips curved slightly, and both his gaze and tone were indescribably serious. He had always been like this with her, and he had never changed.“I initially thought you two were truly in love, so I chose to disappear. As long as he treated you well enough, I could allow him to replace me as the person who saved your life back then. Later on, I found out that things weren't as I thought and hoped. So…”Harmonia's tone became urgent as she asked, “So, what?”“So, I was determined to edge him out.”Harmonia felt suffocated, but she felt a strong sense of urgency at this time. It turned out that she had always been in his eyes and had never disappeared, but she had completely misunderstood and mistaken Absalom for her savior.Dimas chuckled lightly in disdain, but those deep eyes had a peculiar expression in them.“So what if you're my nephew's wife? If someone can't gi
“You can shoot me in the heart then,” He answered without hesitation.Once bitten by a snake, twice shy. She had once devoted her true feelings to Absalom, but what did she get in return? He knew what she feared the most and what made her most sad was not just having her true feelings betrayed but the aftermath of being let down.His young lady’s heart had been wounded.She looked at his stern face, which was both unbelievably handsome and serious.Harmonia's hand holding the gun froze.She shook her head, “No.”Even if it came to that point, she wouldn't and couldn't harm him.Dimas knew his young lady was always kind-hearted.“Killing is against the law, and with your noble status, I won't give up the whole forest for you alone. At that time, I'll go and adopt many, many young lovers and be surrounded by them… Mm!” Before Harmonia could finish, he sealed her lips with a kiss!He pressed her slender waist with one hand and held her head with the other, giving her no chance
Jenell was dumbfounded. Mauricius couldn't sit still and asked, “What did you say? What was Dimas doing?”Jasper thought to himself, ‘Huh? Wasn't I clear enough in my expression? I’ve got it!’Jasper looked at Liam, who was standing nearby, went straight up to him, hugged him tightly, then puckered his lips, as if to kiss him. Liam, who was a married man in his thirties and a straight man at that, felt horrified by Jasper's kissing gesture. He kept backing away, pulling his sweater halfway off his shoulders, and even his double chin popped out in fear.“Enough!” Mauricius immediately put a halt to it.Jasper let go of Liam and said earnestly, “Father, this is what happened on the bed! Do you understand now?”He might not have explained it clearly, but didn't he act it out clearly enough?Mauricius was in his fifties, and as the ruler of the empire, he had seen all sorts of grand scenes, but the scene of Jasper hugging Liam just now made his eyes hurt.Most importantly, Liam'
Jasper was so scared that he hid behind Jenell. Jenell couldn't help but laugh. Who would have thought that her usually bold son, upon seeing his fourth brother, would be like a mouse seeing a cat? The image of him being dragged to the little dark room by Dimas for a good beating in his childhood was vividly etched in his mind.“Mom, please save your obedient and sensible son!” Jenell gently patted his back as if to comfort him, but the next moment, the words she said scared Jasper stiff.“Go then. It's been a long time since the brothers have met, so they should have a good chat. Jasper just told me earlier that he also misses Dimi very much.”As soon as she finished speaking, Jenell pushed Jasper out.Jasper's eyes widened in shock: ‘You really are my dear mother!!!’“I won't go, I won't go, I won't go!” Jasper hugged one of the pillars and threw a tantrum directly.“You said you missed Dimas just now, and now that Dimas has asked for you to come, you still won't go? What are
“Have you found Absalom?" Liam lowered his head and honestly replied, “There's still no news yet.”“Keep searching. We must find Absalom. Only by finding him can we know why my note ended up in Harmonia's hands.”“Don't worry, we've done our best to search. I believe we'll have news in a few days.”Mauricius nodded and asked again, “Has all the information on Harmonia been checked?”Liam dared not raise his head and truthfully said, “We only found her name, date of birth, and gender. We were one step late in our investigation, and all information about her on the internet has been hidden. There’s some difficulty as it’s an international investigation, so I’ve already sent people to Nilus City. I believe we'll have results soon.”Mauricius stood up straight with his hands behind his back.“You're not just late by one step. I’m guessing that even before Harmonia arrived in the capital, all her information had already been processed.”When Liam heard this from Mauricius, he raise
“So, Dimas, you're a super masochist?”Dimas gave him a sharp look.Jasper was frightened and cried out, “Dimas, shall I kneel to you?”With the backing of his maternal family, Jasper always walked with an air of superiority among his brothers. However, when it came to Dimas, he could only kneel.Jasper was about to kneel to Dimas without a second thought, but before his knees could touch the floor, Dimas' shoe tip stopped him. He lifted his leg slightly, forcing Jasper to straighten up his legs, unable to kneel.“Stand up straight!”“Oh! Dimas! I know you still love me!” Jasper trembled in fear, summoning the courage to give Dimas a hug.“Get lost!”Jasper's hands, eager for an embrace, froze in mid-air, but he was good at finding a way out for himself. He obediently stood aside and then gave himself a loving hug.Rio didn't find it strange. After all, it was a common practice for Jasper. “Dimas, I'm sorry. I really am. I shouldn't have barged in from the beginning…”“Yo
Dimas's lips curled coldly, and the air instantly froze.Rio felt like Jasper was hopeless. He couldn't differentiate between good and bad, and he spoke without thinking. Who else would get beaten if not him?Dimas took a few steps forward, getting closer to Jasper.Jasper hadn't realized the situation yet and stammered, “D-Dimas, did I say something wrong?”“No, I just want to shake your hand.”“Oh, okay!” Jasper reached out his hand and put it in Dimas's hand.The next second—“Ahhh! Dimas, please spare me!”Rio covered his eyes but peeked through his fingers. He saw Jasper being thrown onto the single sofa that was aside. The sofa shook a few times, and he ended up on the floor.After being handled by Dimas, Jasper finally behaved.Dimas pulled him up and pressed him onto the sofa.“I can't go to Snow Manor, but you can. Do you understand what I mean?”This was a rule set by their mother. He couldn't disrespect her, but there was no rule against him finding a loophole.
