"I have my pride, and I know I was wrong, but that doesn't mean others are allowed to say that!""This is between me and Demi, and it has nothing to do with you. This is America, not the R. HIK Castle, where you can do whatever you want. Give Demi back to me, then disappear from my sight!" Tom Hulce clenched his fists tightly, visible veins bulging on his forehead, clearly struggling to contain his anger."Do you deserve it?" Arthur asked disdainfully, with a touch of coldness and arrogance.He had said this to him before, and now it was time for him to respond."Arthur R. HIK, ah..." Tom Hulce suddenly burst into wild laughter. "So, you mean I don't deserve it? Fine, I admit it, but what about you? You forgot about her while she was suffering, carrying your child. You happily flirted with another girl. You abandoned her to become a servant in England, not knowing she was bullied and tormented by Nancy daily. Now that the child is gone and she won't wake up tell me, who is the unworth
"Tom." The soft voice called out to Tom Hulce, but he turned his face and walked away. Since childhood, he knew that Tom was cold, so the mother-child bond between them was never too deep. But this time... it seemed she had pushed him further away."Mom, Demi is innocent. Everything she had to endure today was caused by one of my hands. She has nothing left, so why would you..." Tom Hulce suddenly stopped and found it challenging to speak to Mrs Hulce. He had trusted her to care for Demi, so why had she disappointed him like this?"I'm truly sorry, Tom. I didn't mean for it to happen like this, but..." Mrs. Hulce wanted to defend herself, but it was clear that Tom Hulce didn't want to hear it. He got into the car, tightly gripping the steering wheel, and sighed helplessly. He couldn't criticize his mother, but it was tough to confront her calmly at this moment.Mrs. Hulce quietly sat in the car, placing her hands on her thighs and occasionally glancing at Tom Hulce. For a long stretch
"Tom, can we start again?" After hesitating for half a day, Mary Wickes finally mustered the courage to discuss the issue with Tom Hulce. She was taking a gamble, betting that he still had feelings for her, hoping it wasn't just a little bit.Start again? Did she dare to say that, to start again with him?It was laughable."Well, it's fine if you can bring my child back to life," he coldly looked at Mary Wickes, his eyes filled with mockery and sarcasm. She dared to want to return to him at a time like this. She, indeed, was naive."Tom, I truly didn't know about that," Mary Wickes' eyes showed a hint of confusion; despite her calculating nature, she didn't expect Demi Moore to be pregnant then."Is that so?" Tom Hulce assessed her from head to toe, clearly not fully trusting her. "Miss Cung, you know what you know, and deep down, you know it best."Tom Hulce stood up, casually adjusted his suit, and then placed some money on the table. "Miss Cung, don't come looking for me in the fut
"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
"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
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
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
"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
