She let go of her pride because, at this moment, nothing compares to the necessities of life. She couldn't communicate, and no company wanted to hire her. Moreover, she couldn't stay outside for too long because she had Ace at home.Jinx looked at the paper in Demi Moore's hand, pondering for half a day, but ultimately shook her head. She wanted to help, but she honestly couldn't do it. She could only dismiss Demi Moore from the entire company."Demi, I'm truly sorry. I can't help you," Jinx stood up, patting her shoulder, then turned to another place, leaving behind an uncompromising figure. Demi Moore raised her head, her eyes beginning to well up; she bowed to Jinx, then dejectedly walked out.Jinx watched her disappear through the large door, unable to help but sigh."Manager, we aren't hiring anyone else, so why did you want to let her go? Look, she's a girl who can't speak; it's so pitiful," a staff member standing behind Jinx finally couldn't hold back their words.But Jinx cou
"No big deal." Demi Moore smiled gently, seeming like nothing was happening. But Ace still felt like she was lying to him, although he didn't know why he had such thoughts. The more she acted this way, the more suspicious he became.A gust of wind blew through the window, causing Demi Moore to flinch slightly. Water droplets from her hair slowly trickled down her cheek. Ace noticed and hurriedly closed the window as heavy rain began outside.Demi Moore sat back in her chair, holding a towel to dry her hair. It was the first time she had done such strenuous work, and her shoulders were so sore that she couldn't even lift her arm with strength.She looked out the window, watching the weather deteriorate, and couldn't help but worry. How would she deliver the newspaper tomorrow in such heavy rain?"Demi, don't you have work today?" Ace suddenly turned around, looking at Demi Moore with a puzzled expression. It had been two days since she brought any documents, so he wondered if something
Under the soft yellow light, the young man's features were perfect, with his curved lips and slender fingers gently resting on her shoulder, caressing it carefully, causing her whole body to relax uncontrollably. And his eyes, so pure and clean, seemed to be one, resembling an angel from heaven."Demi, I love you."Demi Moore widened her eyes. Was this for real, or was she dreaming? But Ace had just said those words, "I love you." That word, 'love'...She grabbed Ace's hand and quickly wrote, asking, 'Ace, why did you say that?' She couldn't deny that her heart was beating fast now, a kind of anticipation that made her feel confused and afraid."I love you." Ace blinked in confusion. "On TV, if a guy says this, every girl would be happy." He had seen it on TV, so he said it to her. But why wasn't she happy? Instead, she seemed like she wanted to cry.Demi Moore looked at Ace with complexity. She bowed her head, burying herself in the blankets, hoping the moment would disappear in a bl
"Here, take it." Ace tightly held her hand and spoke softly."This is the most important thing I still have. Maybe it will help me find my past." This necklace was the only thing she found on Ace that day, the only thing that could prove his identity. How could he give it to her to keep?"Demi is the most important." He stared at the necklace, unintentionally opening his mouth, his voice extremely calm. No matter what his past was like, at present, he couldn't remember, but he knew that someone more important than anything else had entered his life.He might not need the past, not need to remember, need her.Demi Moore gently blinked her eyes, her nose slightly tingling. She caressed the pattern on the necklace, unable to express her emotions, overwhelmed with happiness, gently enveloping her entire being.Holding onto Ace's belt tightly, she sighed in satisfaction, thinking that no matter if it was raining, storming, or anything else, this dream would indeed be beautiful...In the mo
Only one kind of calmness gradually blossomed, permeating his entire body, even to the tips of his fingers. However, when he saw the fear in Demi Moore's eyes, the fire of anger within him once again ignited. Was there any part of her body he hadn't seen or touched?She regarded him as a wolf or a devil. Does Tom Hulce lack morality to that extent?Demi Moore gasped for breath; the warmth from her chin made her involuntarily recall a dirty scene. The snowy white body of the girl entangled with the man, and the man forcefully took her. The sounds of heavy breathing and passionate moans emanated from their bedroom right in front of her.Ignoring the discomfort from his stomach, she suddenly pushed Tom Hulce away and sat huddled in a corner, vomiting forcefully.Tom Hulce couldn't believe his own hands; then he looked at Demi Moore again.This damn girl! Does she despise me to such an extent?"My ex-wife, are you so disgusted that my touch makes you vomit? Remember how you warmed my bed
Demi Moore was startled as she looked at Ace, then after a while, she reached out and took his hand, trembling as she wrote, "Where have you been? Why weren't you home? Why did you come back so late? Don't you know I would worry, be anxious?"After finishing writing, she stared at him, fear still in her eyes.Ace was slightly taken aback but quickly smiled, saying, "I went outside to soak up the sun; look at me." He pointed to his face. "I've gotten much darker, just like Demi said. Isn't that beautiful? Besides, I know the way back home; I won't get lost."Closing his eyes, he rested his chin on her head and said, "I will remember it clearly, Demi. Wherever Demi is, that is my home. I can forget everything, but I will never forget the way back home because I keep it here..." He pointed to his chest, speaking softly, his arms holding her tighter. How could he forget this little girl?o0o"These dishes are delicious, Tom," Mary Wickes looked around the upscale restaurant, feeling perfe
Even if he's not foolish, when the CEO says he's irrational, he has to be unreasonable; when he's called silly, he becomes ridiculous; when he's called a woman, he has to be a woman. Who said that one person is the CEO and the other is just a mere employee?"You're fired, you fool," Tom Hulce said arrogantly, crossing his arms in front of his chest and looking disdainfully at Ace.Being fired, he knew what it meant. He wouldn't have a job anymore, and he wouldn't have money to help Demi. What should he do now? How can he manage?"Get lost," Tom Hulce said coldly. For a man, this humiliation was the ultimate.From all sides, Ace felt the piercing gazes and clenched his fists. He wanted; he really wanted to strike him and wipe that crooked smile off his face. But Demi had said she didn't like violence; he couldn't resort to physical force; he had to endure.He turned around, picked up his clothes, and left. However, as he passed by Tom Hulce, he suddenly stopped and looked straight at h
"I said the wedding was canceled," Tom Hulce said coldly. "Until now, I've never been one for jokes. When I say the wedding is canceled, she and I need more time to consider this relationship seriously.""Tom, you know that's not possible," Mary Wickes said, dropping the bouquet and unable to look at Tom Hulce. Did he really mean it? He wants to call off the wedding. How could this happen? She would become a laughingstock; is that what he wants? Tears fell and blurred the elaborate makeup on her face, making her look highly distressed. It can't be canceled, absolutely not. She won't let anyone else steal him away, especially that person, Demi Moore!Tom Hulce looked at the fallen bouquet on the car floor and then at Mary Wickes crying. He decided to turn his head as if he hadn't seen anything. He wouldn't sink any more profoundly if he had made a mistake."Stop the car," he said calmly. The driver heard but didn't understand his intention. They hadn't even reached the church, so why d
A few days later, he would send her back to Tom Hulce and give a significant gift to the Grayson Corporation that would make them remember forever!...At night, Youdu turned around, wondering how many times. He opened his eyes wide, looking at the empty crib beside him, feeling a deep emptiness in his heart.He couldn't deny that he was sleepless. Though brief, the few days with Lulu here, she had changed everything once she was gone. He missed her laughter, her silly gestures when she wanted to be carried.Sitting up and turning on the bedside lamp, he didn't even know what he wanted to do.It wasn't until the knocking sound, "Knock, knock, knock," reached his ears that he glanced at the clock. It was already two in the morning. Who could it be, coming to find him at this hour? Could it be that annoying Fred again?He got out of bed, his already sombre face growing even darker. Opening the door, before he could see who had arrived, something warm was thrust into his arms.This... wa
However, before he could enjoy his moment, the baby suddenly woke up and looked at him with wide eyes before bursting into loud cries. Fred was taken aback and wondered if he had been too rough with the baby earlier."Shh, don't cry, don't cry!" Fred awkwardly tried to console the baby, but his efforts seemed to have no effect.Demi Moore closed her eyes inside the castle as she sat on an old chair, relishing in the rare moment of tranquillity."Kimmy, how have you been lately?" Since returning, Demi had wanted to see Kimmy again, partly out of nostalgia and concern for the naive girl. But now, it seemed that her worries were unfounded. Kimmy had been promoted to oversee several others, and she seemed more mature and content with her life."Madam, I've been doing well..." Kimmy shyly glanced at her toes, still not accustomed to such distant forms of address."Kimmy, you can continue calling me Demi; it's okay." Demi Moore opened her eyes and smiled at her, reassuring her."I... I will
"You think your plan is so clever, don't you? Get me in bed with Mary Wickes, and it's all over? Well, let me tell you, don't even think about it!" What if he tells Demi? Will he deny it again like he did before? But if Arthur were to show Demi some evidence, it would only prove his despicable nature. Hmph!"She has already seen it." When Tom Hulce was harbouring a glimmer of hope, Arthur coldly extinguished it. Time seemed to stand still for a second, and no one spoke. The widening eyes of Tom Hulce revealed the extent of his panic."Arthur R. HIK!" Tom Hulce shouted madly, "You wretched person, I want to kill you!"For over twenty years, Tom Hulce had never felt such unease and anger grow so intensely. How dare he? How could he let Demi see him in bed with Mary Wickes again? Hasn't she suffered enough? What does he want? Does he like to erase Demi from his world?Tom Hulce lost control and lunged forward, delivering a decisive blow to the left side of Arthur R. HIK's face. A trickle
"Must be because I slept too much," Arthur suddenly burst into laughter, teasing her a little."Perhaps," Demi Moore replied, half-jokingly. This feeling was extraordinary. She wasn't sure anymore, feeling uncomfortable, dry, as if she had talked too much.Has she talked too much? Thinking about it made her laugh bitterly. How could a mute person still be able to speak? Maybe she was dreaming?Leaning her head on Arthur's shoulder, suddenly, she felt a darkness creeping into her heart, a sense of disappointment. It might be an illusion, but a second ago, she truly believed she could speak, kiss him, smile, and say, "Good morning."She wanted to, truly wanted to do that....Arthur sat on the sofa, looking a bit concerned towards the bedroom. Demi Moore was still inside. She had woken up for a while, but ultimately, she was still too tired and couldn't help but lean back for a moment. Youdu said this was a side effect of hypnosis and nothing to worry about. The most important thing to
"Boss, we're being followed," Fred calmly said, not knowing when he had been standing behind Arthur."I know," Arthur nodded slightly. He had noticed this since the first day they moved here. Tom Hulce did not easily give up, but if he could think of it, how could Arthur not?"How is he over there?" Arthur opened his mouth, his voice devoid of emotion."He seems impatient like he's preparing to take action," Fred looked out through his gaze, his lips curling up slightly with a hint of teasing."Welcome," Arthur chuckled coldly. He wasn't afraid of him coming but somewhat worried that he wouldn't. The matter between them would eventually require a confrontation."Master." Amid the tense atmosphere, Youdu suddenly called out to Arthur. He had thought of this method from the beginning but hesitated to speak because he was afraid that Arthur would disagree. But after thinking it over, perhaps there was only this one way."Have you figured it out?" Arthur turned to look at Youdu, his eyebr
In a highly luxurious restaurant, a girl was resting her chin on her hand, looking at the man in front of her with confusion. He was elegantly eating steak, but he was focused on his meal and didn't say a word to her from the beginning. He didn't mention anything about wanting to collaborate with her, so could it be that collaboration here meant just sitting and looking?She continued to stare at him intently, unable to remain silent. This man was truly handsome. A few days ago, when she received his phone call, she had hoped he had intentions towards her. But now it seemed that things were not as she had imagined."If you don't eat, you won't have the energy to work," he said.The man raised his head, calmly looking at her."Mr. Hulce, what exactly did you call me here for?" The girl occasionally turned her head to look around, feeling uncomfortable sitting there. This man was overly reserved. If it wasn't about having a romantic interest in her, then it might not be good that he sou
Arthur took a deep breath, about to say something, when he saw Demi Moore coming out of the kitchen."Are you tired? You don't need to do anything later. I'll have someone bring the food." Arthur stared at Demi Moore's slightly flushed face, hesitating between speaking and exchanging a disdainful glance with someone.Demi Moore smiled and shook her head. She was feeling much better now. If she continued lying in bed without doing anything, she felt like she would rust away. Besides, looking at their expressions, it was clear that they were starving but still trying to act tough. It was really...After placing two dishes on the table, Demi Moore returned to the kitchen to get a few more items."Fred, Youdu, can you please not eat like hungry demons?" Arthur looked at the almost empty plate he had just brought out, his blue veins popping up. Fortunately, he had quickly set aside some for Demi. Otherwise... Hmph, looking at the two voraciously eating opposite him made him feel irritated
"You can kick the blanket freely; it's new and won't tear." Suddenly, a humorous voice came from behind, startling Demi Moore as she turned around, not expecting it to be Youdu."How are you feeling now? Are you okay?" Youdu sat down on the chair next to the bed, glancing briefly at Demi Moore's teary eyes, feeling a sigh escape his lips. This girl had just cried; why did she have to torment herself like this?"It's somewhat better than before." Demi Moore nodded, unconsciously loosening her grip. She had nothing to hide in front of this young man because he had greatly helped her and her mother. Apart from Kimmy, Youdu was the person she trusted the most."Do you want to sit up and talk to me for a while?" After a long silence, Youdu finally decided to take the initiative. Ms. Moore was kind-hearted, and he believed he knew how to soften her heart. He wouldn't resort to this last resort if there were still any other options left.Demi Moore glanced at him with a hint of thought, seem
"Ace?" Demi Moore hesitated, slightly squinting her eyes, feeling that something was still inaccurate. He was still wearing the same clothes, unchanged, and the house was warm and filled with familiar items, but her heart felt inexplicably empty.Something was missing, something that seemed very important to her."Yes, it's me, your Ace." Arthur hugged Demi Moore tightly, smiling without end.Demi Moore slowly reached out and embraced him around the neck, just like before. The warmth from his body made her feel safe, and she even caught a faint scent of mint. However, when his hand accidentally touched her belly, she realized it was flat.Flat?With a gasp, her heart felt like it was being violently torn apart. Memories flooded back, causing her unbearable pain. It turned out that everything wasn't a dream; her child was gone entirely."A..." She screamed silently, pushing the man in front of her away. How could she forget? Whether it was unintentional or deliberate, she couldn't forg
