That afternoon, Quinn and Jenna spent time at home playing hide and seek and guessing games with their children. Quinn’s face had been doodled all over and a cat face had been drawn on him, which made Duo break into laughter.At night, Quinn grilled steaks for dinner.Duo exclaimed that it was delicious and said to Quinn with bulging cheeks, “Daddy, it’s just so wonderful to have you. We don’t have to eat Mommy’s dubious food in the future anymore!”Jenna harrumphed and deliberately said, “Mommy will do the barbecue when we go to the beach to play tomorrow!”“Please, no!” Duo and Uno looked horrified.Around 10 PM, Jenna brought Duo to the bathroom to take a bath. When she came out, she saw the light in the living room was still on, and Quinn was putting away the kids’ toys.She said, “Duo was the one who did this, so just make her put it all away herself tomorrow.”“It’s not like I’m helping others by putting away my own daughter’s toys.” Quinn replied, “I quite like doing this
After the helicopter landed near the sea, Duo changed into a pretty floral swimsuit. She carried a small bucket as she ran barefoot on the beach.It was sunny that day and Jenna was afraid of getting sunburned, so she lay in a beach chair as she drank watermelon juice.She watched as Quinn allowed Duo to ride on his shoulders as they ran along the beach. Duo was so happy she could not stop laughing. He even carried the small bucket for Duo as he followed after her and spent time digging up pretty shells.Uno accidentally kicked some sand onto Duo, which made her cry out angrily and chase after Uno to hit him.This beautiful scene made Jenna’s heart feel particularly full, but she soon recalled the conversation that took place that day in the private box as well as Agnes’ hateful words and Xavier’s calm expression.Lilith said she had already returned to Dresark. Jenna wondered if Xavier had followed her back.At night, Quinn set up the barbecue grill and took the pre-prepared ske
Jenna cast a profound look at Quinn. “You have me.” “That’s right, I have you.” Quinn chuckled, then he took her hand, slipped it underneath his clothes, and rested it against his chest. “My heart beats for you. This is a sign of my love for you.” Jenna burst out laughing. “Where did you learn this cheesy confession? Still, I have to admit that they are working.” Quinn kissed her gently. “I love you.” “Yes, I know.” Jenna perched on tiptoes and kissed him. They embraced each other tightly and tangled in their fervent love for each other. … Meanwhile, inside a certain luxurious apartment in Hevedburgh, Diana suddenly woke up with a start from a nightmare. She sat up from the bed and seemed completely out of it. The young man sleeping next to her woke up as well. He got up and leaned over. “Not feeling better yet?” He wiped the sweat from Diana's face. Diana’s head was still caught in a daze. It took almost ten seconds before she recognized that there was a perso
Diana wrapped her arms around her thighs and wept quietly. Earlier, she accidentally stole a glance at Connor's fingers and noticed how red and swollen they were. The sight of it only made her feel worse. After a while, she got up and looked out through the peephole, only to see that Connor was still waiting outside. Before she was aware of what was happening, she already found herself opening the door. When she met Connor’s gaze, she blurted out, “Didn’t I tell you to leave? Why are you still here?” “I’m worried about you. It's already five in the morning anyway, I was going to wait until dawn for your assistant to get here before I leave.” Connor noticed her eyes were ringed with red and seemed swollen. He immediately grew concerned. “Why are you crying?” Diana wiped away her tears and offered. “Never mind that. Come in.” She frequently got hurt while filming on the set so she had all sorts of medicine and first aid solutions scattered around the house and inside t
A while after she spoke, she did not hear any response from behind her. She pursed her lips and could taste the bitterness of her tears. She shifted to turn around when she was suddenly pulled into a tight embrace. Connor lowered his head and gently kissed the trickling tears on her cheeks. He whispered gently, “What do you mean you don’t deserve to be loved? Let me take care of you, I can stomach everything that you did in the past.” Diana was too stunned to speak for several seconds. She turned around and buried her head inside his embrace where she wept silently. After a long time, she held Connor's face and kissed him passionately while still crying all the while. She whimpered. “Would you keep loving me? Never stop loving me.” Connor drank her tears and answered softly, “Okay.” For the first time, Diana did not need to take painkillers and relished in the act of lovemaking. She held onto him tightly and lost herself in fervent kisses. She wanted to fuse into one
Connor realized that it was the drug taking effect again. He quickly pried Diana’s fingers away and hurried outside to find a doctor. After the doctor attended to Diana, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Please give her an anesthetic to put her to sleep.” Connor requested. He was worried that Diana would think of him again when she woke up and experience another severe attack that would kill her. The only solution was to put her to sleep. After that, he hired a caregiver to look after Diana. He did not know where Jenna was. With that, he asked for Jacob's phone number from the doctor and called Jacob first, “Hey Jacob, this is Connor. I am General Hale’s grandson.” “Oh, do you need something from me?” Jacob asked impatiently. “I know that East Mill Pharmaceutical must have developed a suitable antidote for the effects of Curb.emotion.” Connor gulped, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down. “Please sell me one of those antidotes.” Since he was aware of the drug and its ass
“I love her.” Connor spoke with a determined look in his eyes, “She made a lot of mistakes in the past and even killed people, I’m not going to excuse that. However, I am willing to bear the consequences with her.” Jenna was floored to hear this. Diana must be unbelievably lucky to meet someone who would still love her so deeply after all the things she had done. She spoke without sympathy, “I’ll give you the antidote if you can tell her to bring Millie back to life. Also, she nearly sent my friend into a lifelong coma and I haven’t settled the score with her yet.” How could the dead ever be resurrected? Connor was aware that Jenna would never give him the antidote. He turned to Shawn with a solemn look and pleaded again. “I will pay for Millie’s life with my own. Please give Diana a chance.” Connor was not a fool, he had a vague impression that Diana had been using him. However, there was nothing he could do about it at this point as he had fallen in love with her.
Jenna looked on without much sympathy as Diana died in Connor's arms. She had already heard about Diana's past from Xavier. She grew up in a slum, dirt poor, and without anyone to support her. The circumstances of her birth made her grow into someone who would resort to anything if it meant she could climb her way up. It was certainly pitiful, but she had no sympathy for Diana at all. If Diana had not done what she did to Carina and did not kill Millie, perhaps Jenna would simply let it slide. Shawn no longer paid attention to those two on the floor. He pushed the chair away and got up. “I’ll ask Sam to take Percival and Duo out later, we’re going to Golden Elegance to eat something. I don’t have anything planned this evening so we can bring them out for some playtime after that.” Jenna nodded, then she grabbed her bag and left the cafe with Shawn. As soon as the two of them reached the roadside, a Ghost suddenly screeched to a stop in front of them. The rear door
