Rican’s POV:Generally speaking, people were not allowed to enter Grandpa’s study room. Even Dad seldom did. Jason always cleaned it personally instead of any other servants.Everything there was very precious.Jason fetched a small box made of red sandalwood and Grandpa stuffed it into Ailina's hand. “It is the gift for you. Take it.”Ailina didn’t know whether to accept it or not. She turned back to look at me. I smiled and said, “Just keep it. Grandpa is famous for being stingy. He seldom give gift to other, but only those he likes.”She accepted it but didn’t open the box.After a while, Dad came downstairs with a string of beads in his hand and handed it to Ailina. “This is for you!” he said.Mom gave him a contemptuous look. “You are really weird. Why did you give a girl a string of Buddha’s beads? You fool. Let me tell you. When others use flowers and chocolates to woo women, he chased me with books and cats. Other girls would have split up with him long ago.”After sneering at
Kevin’s POV:After drinking tea, the TV series that Lillian likes started so she went to watch it. Dad went to rest. I asked Rican to play chess with me.However, after a short while, he won. “I am your father. Can’t you let me win?” I frowned anxiously.“You have begun it with three more steps, Dad.” He said.I was so angry that I wanted to punch someone.Ailina helped Melissa prepare some fruits in the kitchen. When she brought them over, she saw that Rican was about to win again I scratched my head and didn’t know what to do next. She smiled. “Uncle, do you mind if I take a step for you?”“You know how to play chess?” I asked in surprise.She nodded, “I know a little.”“Come!” I offered my seat to Ailina.Ailina put a piece together and sorted the dilemma.After a few more pieces, she turned defeat into victory.I was so excited. I had never been born against my son. But Ailina helped me vent my anger.Rican’s POV:I looked at Ailina and put on a slight smile. I didn’t expect Ailin
Ailina’s POV:Now that I had established a relationship with Alfonzo, I found it necessary to cultivate myself. Even if his family, like me, I should have some self-knowledge.So, I planned to develop JK well, and it could be my dowry in the future.I called Jenny and told her my thoughts. She laughed at me. “Ailina, you are the first girl I have seen who prepared her dowry for herself.”“Don’t laugh at me.” I smiled and said, “When you are going to marry, I will prepare your dowry.”“I am afraid no man would dare to marry a woman like me.” She sighed helplessly.“You are so outstanding. Many men want you. But you have to choose someone more outstanding. Otherwise, I won’t agree to those who are not worthy of you.” I said with a smile.“Ailina you have your love now. Why don’t you give me a vacation? If I go on a trip, maybe I can encounter something romantic.” She discussed this with me.I suddenly felt that I had made Jenny too busy before.Jenny was three years older than me but ha
Ailina’s POV:When I arrived at the company, I saw a strange girl beside Rita. I said lightly, “I will call the manager of Blessing and check if any unrelated people can be in. After all in a jewelry show, there will be much valuable jewelry. A small mistake will damage our company’s as well as actress reputation.”“Do you mean that I will steal the jewelry?” The girl asked unhappily.“You are thinking too much. As long as organizers agree, I won’t say anything.”When I called and asked the manager of the Blessing a series of questions, I confirmed that I could take unrelated people there. Only then did I feel relieved.“What a waste of time!” The girl said coldly.I didn’t bother to say anything more to her, as no matter what I said, she couldn’t understand.The three of us went together in the company’s nanny van.Sitting in the car, Mona looked up and down and said, “Rita, your company is so mean. With your current position, you deserve a better can than this.”Rita answered with a
Ailina’s POV:I was watching the show when the Blessing staff member aggressively came to me and threw a box at me. “Miss Wilson, didn’t tell you before that these jewelry is very important to our company and is also the finale of the show. I ask you to take good care of it. Is this how you kept it well for us?”I opened the box and saw the bracelet inside was broken. The surface of the bracelet was completely twisted, and the emerald jade embedded in the bracelet was torn apart though the diamond was still intact.I frowned. The staff member was furious. “We will terminate the contract with JK right now!”I was still looking at the bracelet. I was thinking of a way to see if I could repair it.When the staff members said that I didn’t respond, she was even angrier.“I really got to know how JK staff treat your work. I will report this incident to our leadership. Our designer, Mr. Waylen, will come here soon? We will sue your company and hold you accountable.”The Staff’s POV:I took
Ailina’s POV:Other people thought that he was distressed by his design. He felt sad and angry because his calculated design had been destroyed.But I felt that he seemed to be relieved.‘Why did he feel relieved?’“Mr. Waylen, I am sorry. I didn’t manage to keep your design. I am sorry.” The staff in charge of keeping the jewelry sincerely apologize to him.He waved his hand and looked at me. “You said you wanted to slightly change my design and turn the bracelet into a chain bracelet. May I know your idea?”“Sure!” I said.I took out the bracelet and said, “The main body of the bracelet has been distorted, but I want to keep your design from the main body. The pattern on the main body should be a dragon, right? I will keep this dragon. I see the dragon is incomplete. I will make a complete dragon in the chain bracelet.”Waylen’s POV:I looked at Ailina in surprise. I didn’t expect her could understand my design. The main body of the bracelet was inlaid with many diamonds and a large
Rita’s POV:When Jenny arrived, I immediately rushed out of the lounge.I thought that Jenny had come out for me. I looked excited. “Miss White, you are finally here. Guess what! Ailina made a big deal this time. Not only did she ruin Mr. Waylen’s work, but she also boasted that she could make a new one. How is it possible that she knows jewelry design? She really doesn’t think about JK. I mean, she doesn’t think about you at all.”Mona said acidly from the side. “She is certainly not a good friend. I have been Rita’s friend for so many years, but I have never hurt her like this. Ailina cares nothing but showing off. How can she be friend?”The two of us surrounded Jenny.She frowned slightly and asked, “Where is Ailina?”“In that room!” I pointed to where Ailina was.Jenny walked towards the room.Thinking that Jenny was about to turn against Ailina, I was in ecstasy. ‘Without any support, what else would Ailina have?She has nothing and she is nobody. She would have nothing but a go
Waylen’s POV:Jenny seemed to want to say something but Ailina stopped and shook her head.Ailina cut the main part of the bracelet and made it into flower petals.She took out the mahogany box brought by Jenny and opened it. It was filled with kingfisher feathers.She took out the feathers, carefully cut the shape, and then fit them into the flower-shaped metal frame bit by bit, studded it with diamonds and jade.After I polished the largest piece of jade into the shape of a teardrop, Ailina used the silver chain to string up the petals one by one, including the teardrop.Because the original bracelet was relatively thick, Ailina cut it into two. The other one was made into the shape of leaves and also decorated with kingfisher feathers with diamonds and jade fragments inlaid at the roots of each leaf.After putting the flowers and leaves together, she got a piece of blood-red jade from me and polished it into the shape of a heart, which was strung together with the flowers and leave
Six months later.Wearing a white wedding dress, Adriana slowly walked toward Rican, who stood on the stage smiling at her.As she walked, memories from her previous life replayed in her mind over and over again. She didn’t know what kind of good deeds she had done in the past to deserve this second chance from God—a chance to protect her loved ones, to take revenge on those who had hurt her, and most importantly…A chance to meet the love of her life.Adriana knew there were still many challenges ahead, but she also knew that, from now on, she would never be alone. There was someone she could rely on when she was tired. Someone who would support her when she fell.After taking their vows, Rican and Adriana exchanged rings, and the crowd of family and friends erupted into applause and cheers."Now, the groom may kiss the bride," the officiant announced.Hearing this, Rican gazed at her deeply, lifted her veil, and then lowered his head to kiss her passionately."Thank you, Ailina, for
Patrick’s POV:Then, I began to apply makeup for Ailina. Her good skin speeded up her makeup, and her styling was also fast. I gave Ailina a white gauze dress. “Please change into this.”I looked at the dress with a frown, wondering, “What event do I have to wear a wedding dress for?”“It’s normal dress, not a wedding dress. Hurry up and change. The event will start soon.” I pushed her.Ailina had changed into the dress.She seemed to look elegant and extraordinary like a lotus after putting on the dress.“So beautiful. Alright, go ahead.” I snapped.Ailina’s POV:I looked at my appearance and felt that something was wrong.But I didn’t think too much about it. I asked Patrick, “Where is the event?”He said, “Go and ask others. They will take you there.”“Okay,” I walked out of the door.As soon as I walked out, a woman greeted me with a smile. “Miss Wilson, are you going to participate in the event? Let's go, I will take you there. I will be responsible for picking up the guests toda
Ailina’s POV:The hot air balloon we rode gradually took to the sky. The view at night was very different from the view during the day. Looking down from the sky, the lights were bright.I sat in the heart of the balloon and said, “I had rather be a part of the down there.”As soon as I finished speaking, something came in front of my eyes. I then saw a swarm of fireflies flying out of the hot air balloon. The fireflies that filled the sky were like stars, flashing.I was surprised, “Why are there so many fireflies?”Ricky hugged me and answered, “That’s a secret. Well, does it look good?”I nodded and reached out to catch the fireflies. He held my hand and said, “Be careful. You will fall.”I quickly grabbed the rope beside me and looked up. Suddenly, I found a very bright star. “The star is so bright. I am curious what the name of the star is.”He replied, “Let’s take a look.”I blinked, “Take a look?”He nodded and controlled the hot air balloon to fly up. “Yes.”I felt a little am
Ailina’s POV:Ricky raised his phone up and I could not reach it. We noisily ran to the edge of the island.There was a ship to pick us up there.We took a boat out of the island and then back to the shore.As soon as we landed, we saw our grandpas wearing beach clothes and hats and having a barbecue.Martin kept putting chill sauce on the roast. Grandpa stopped him and said, “No more chill sauce!”Martin ignored Grandpa’s words.Grandpa tried to snatch the brush from Martin’s hand.“Ailina likes spicy food,” Martin said.“Ricky doesn’t eat spicy food.” Grandpa disagreed.The two old men said at the same time. They looked at each other and laughed.Martin patted Grandpa’s shoulders and said, “Didn’t expect you to still remember that. Ricky doesn’t eat spicy food. Ricky is so lucky!”The grandpa also laughed. His eyes were full of gratitude. He replied, “I am so glad that you remember that Ailina loves to eat spicy food. Well, I’m reviled now. She must be happy living with you looking
At the moment, our paraglider landed on the ground.Before I could react, Ricky untied the equipment on my hand and walked towards me, holding my hand.In front of us was a sea of flowers with various colors. I did not even know any flowers. The wind blew gently, and the petals danced with the wind.“Where is it?” I looked at the sea flower, surprised, and walked into it.He followed me and said, “It’s called Jade Island.”“Jade Island?” I looked at him in surprise. “Why have I not heard such an island? Is it a name you gave?”“Yes,” he nodded.“You know how to give a name?” I laughed. “Then what is the original name of this island? I never knew there was such an island.”“I built this island, so I named it Jade Island. Is there a problem?” He raised his eyebrows.“No, absolutely not. You have a lot of money, so you have the final say.”“What kind of tone of your words?” He reached out and pulled me into his arms. His voice became deep. “This Island was built for you.”“Built for me?”
Ailina’s POV:I looked at Ricky’s jealous expression and could not help bending my lips, “They are fresher than you.”He said, “You rotten thing who loves the new and loathes the old.” He bit my gently.He lifted my clothes and with his finger.“I am still on my period.” I held his hand.“What?” He was stunned for a while and suddenly understood what I meant. He hugged me and said, “What day?”“The last day.” I lowered my eyes and blushed,“Alright, then, I will restrain myself.” He kissed me on the lips, bent down and picked me up from the ground. “The ground is cold. Go to the bed and rest.”He placed me on the bed and lay beside me. He asked, “Are you tired?”“Not bad.”“Are you hungry?”“No.”“Then lie down for a while. It’s time to eat later. After eating, I will take you to play something exciting.” He pitched my little nose, stretched out his arm and pulled me into his embrace.He said, in a low voice, “Ailina, in the future, no matter what happens, please believe me. We must n
Rican’s POV:The next day, I returned to Alfonzo to discuss marriage with my family.The entire family was pleased.Mom laughed and said, “Rican, you have to marry my idol. I can see Ailina every day in the future.”Grandpa is also very happy, “Alright, my granddaughter-in-law can make tea for me every day. Don’t say that the tea Ailina makes is better than any of you.”Although dad didn’t say anything, he was also happy for me.I said, “Mom, please buy us something for the wedding as soon as possible.”She laughed, “Since you two met both partners' parents, I began to buy things, so don’t worry, I won't treat Ailina unfairly.”I nodded. Of course, before the wedding, I would propose.The last time Ailina asked for a proposal. I had been preparing for a long time. I should propose to her these days.And this time, I wanted everyone to know that Ailina was my fiancée.The last engagement seems to have been little too hasty. Ailina and I had already been engaged, but few people know tha
Ailina’s POV:As soon as the door opened, Ricky hugged me and deeply sniffed me. Then, he coughed violently.I coughed and said, “What did you smell?”He said, honestly, “Hot pot.”I was embarrassed. “I went to have hot pot with Adriana in the afternoon. I have not bathed and changed my clothes yet. Who knows? You are like a puppy, sniffing desperately when you see me.”“I am like a puppy. Not only do I want to smell you, but I also want to bite it.” He said, as he bent over and carried me in his arms.As Ricky spoke, he bit my lips tightly. I covered my lips and pouted, “Really? It hurts.”“Then, bite me back!”I felt as if all strength in my body had been drained. I hung in Rican, blinking my eyes as I looked at him. I said, “Are you waiting for me to let you in?”He nodded.“Tricky.” I bit his ear.He whispered, “I wait for you, every day.”I was slightly stunned. ‘What? He had been on my door every night lately?’‘How was this possible?’He carried me into his house. We went upsta
Ailina’s POV:After I blocked the reporters outside the door, I didn’t dress up. I just sat in the living room looking at my phone. I know that Adriana certainly called me again after she left.Sure enough, after waiting for about two hours, she called me.“I am at the hotel. Don’t worry about me. I have booked a flight for tomorrow. Remember to come and send me off early tomorrow morning.” She requested at the end of the phone.“What time? Which flight?” I asked, “Which hotel are you at now?”Suddenly, call ended.I panicked. ‘What the hell? What had happened again?’While I was still thinking, I received a video call from Adriana.I answered and saw that Adriana was lying on the bed in her pajamas with her hair, slightly wet. She said with a smile, “Look, how is the hotel I live in?”She took her phone and walked around the hotel. I complaine
