"No... I didn't..." Suddenly tongue-tied, Sonia desperately scrabbled for a coherent response to Daniel's loaded question, but her brain seemed to have stopped functioning at that moment.

"The way you looked at me revealed what you were thinking. You want me." Amusement and dark promise tinted his voice. His fingers slowly, deliberately slid down from her neck to rest on her sleep shirt placket, which was placed directly over her pounding chest. The warmth of his fingertips seemed to burn a hole in her pajamas. The heat started to burn her skin and transfer to her heart, which seemed to spontaneously combust.

"I'm sleepy," she announced to the room at large. All of the fight drained out of her. She could only close her eyes and feign sleep.

With a mischievous smile on his lips, Daniel slowly lowered his head to kiss her lightly on the lips. With him that close, she could smell the refreshing aroma of his body wash pervading the air that she breathed. He had always used a shower gel th

    Daniel was shocked. Now, he finally understood what the little fool was up to. Apparently, she thought that he was going to sell himself so he can buy the house, and she came to rescue him.He saw her in an entirely different light.Even though she looked delicate and weak, deep in her heart, she was actually full of courage and would dare to pierce the sky if needed."This is my aunt," explained he as he leaned to her ear, in case she was planning to say something more earth shaking."Aunt?" Sonia said, shocked. "She is your aunt?" she repeated, still unable to believe it."Yes," Daniel said with a nod.What a huge mistake she had made!Sonia was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to dig a hole and crawl inside it to hide herself. In fact, if there was a teleportation station beside her, she would definitely jump into it without hesitation and go straight to wherever it may take her and never return.Marci, Daniel's aunt knew what she meant by her words. She frowned at her and sai

    "What the hell!"Daniel cursed loudly as he took out his phone. When he looked at the caller ID on his screen, he saw that it was Leila calling him.He was just about to hang up the phone when Sonia took the phone and said, "Take the call," as she slid her fingers to answer it. She proceeded to walk away to give them some space to talk."Dan! I just had an accident and got injured. I'm in the hospital and I don't know anyone else from this city. I'm scared. Can you please come over?"He was silent for a few moments, before he finally said, "Okay."Upon hearing what he said, Sonia's heart sank with disappointment and utter dejection. She suddenly felt a hint of regret that she picked up the phone."I'll be back as soon as I can." He stroked her hair feeling a bit disheartened. He was unsure if his actions made her feel any better but he also didn't have the time to console her.Sonia faced away and pursed her lips together. Her anxieties caused her to wonder if he would even come back

    'Why am I thinking about him?' she admonished, but found no answer.Soon, she received a text from Daniel.She had no interest in knowing what he had to say. He was probably way too busy with his ex-girlfriend. 'Why did he even bother to text me?' She couldn't find an answer to this question. It seemed like he was adding salt to her wounds.However, the reality was completely different from her imagination.At this moment, Daniel was shaking his head and smiling bitterly. Although he couldn't see her face, he imagined her vividly, her mouth twisted into a pout.He continued to dial, but her phone was powered off."What the hell!" he screamed to the empty space.Suddenly all sorts of thoughts popped into his head. He worried if she was extremely drunk and in a helpless state.Quickly, he rushed to the bar which was located nearby. Like a maniac, he went around inquiring about her.Turned out no one had seen her.He tried to call her but in vain. It was still powered off.'What the hell

    "That rich and nutty cup of coffee is called civet coffee. It's one of the best in the world, and is also very rare to find." Leila rolled her eyes while her lips curled with a sardonic sneer. Just now when she proceeded to order herself a cup of civet coffee, she caught a glimpse of Sonia sticking her tongue out, seemingly amazed at how much her cup of coffee had cost. Of course there was no way she could afford that.Sonia turned to Mandy with a mischievous expression on her face and placed her index finger under her chin. She said with a voice full of malice, "Mandy, aren't those the coffee beans that are fed and digested by civet cats?""Yes." Mandy nodded."They're picked from cat feces, aren't they?" she asked while pouting her lips deviously."Idiot," murmured Leila on the sideline. Even if she wanted to call her out for her ignorance, she knew such a vulgar woman such as Sonia would never understand.Sonia didn't want to bicker about petty things with her anymore. She had to f

    "I want to eat with you." Daniel lifted the corners of his mouth elegantly and smiled at her like a moonlight breaking through the darkness. And just like that, Sonia's obscure and cold heart felt a touch of innocence and warmth."I want spicy lobster," she said as her eyes twinkled with excitement."Okay!" He nodded without hesitation."You don't even eat spicy food. Why did you reply so decisively?" She pouted and glanced at him."I want to eat with you," he said with a smile before touching her white nose. There was nothing but infinite love in his eyes.In the lobster shop...Aside from the lobster, Sonia also ordered some light food for the man who didn't like eating spicy food.The moment the dishes arrived on their table, she immediately picked up a lobster and began to enjoy it, spreading oil all around her mouth and not caring about her image as a lady. In spite of this, she looked absolutely adorable in Daniel's eyes.After she finished eating, she smacked her lips and looke

    It was late at night. The big trees outside the window faded into dim shadows in the moonlight.Daniel had come home earlier than usual.Instead of turning on the lights, he simply stood in front of the window without saying a word.The windows were wide open. It was not only moonlight that burst into the living room, but also a chilly gust of wind."Dan, you're home," Sonia said in a low voice.He didn't respond to her words, nor did he move. It seemed as if he didn't hear her words at all. The curtains fluttered in the wind, making his tall body look like a dark silhouette.Sonia slowly approached him. It was not until she smelled a light whisky scent coming from him that she noticed the glass of whisky in his hand.'He's drinking alcohol?' She thought to herself.Thinking of how she saw Leila having dinner all alone in the restaurant in the afternoon, Sonia guessed that they might have quarreled with each other. And they must have had a big fight this time."Have you eaten? Do you

    "Of course. There's even a saying that says 'It takes a decade to stay in a ship together, and a century to..." She stopped her babbling just right before she said the words "to share a bed together" when she saw the look of gloom and disdain in Leila's eyes. The last second, she twisted her tongue and said, "To share a house," instead. She wanted to talk about the fate of their friendship, but the topic was clogged in her throat.It would have been dangerous to talk of such things, and would probably start a fierce cat fight between her and Leila.Daniel had a blank expression throughout the event, but when he heard this, a subtle smile appeared on his face. The thought of him still being the only man who had been in the same bed as her, relieved a lot of the sadness he had been feeling the whole week.When he realized he was slipping and acting strange, he quickly restrained his mouth and acted somewhat annoyed. There was a certain perplexity in that situation that aroused his emoti

    There was a giant three-layer cake on the table. The bright candle light swayed in the wind, like the stars shining in the night sky."Happy birthday," a gentle voice said from behind.Today was her birthday? Shocked, Sonia looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. It was June 12th.'Oh my God! It really was my birthday,' thought she. She even forgot it herself, and she didn't expect that he would remember it!"Ice guy, how did you know that today is my birthday?" She turned around and looked at him. His cold face was tinted with the same color as the candle light, making it look very warm. The smile on his face was as charming as sunshine. It made ripples in her heart."It is written on our marriage certificate," he said. Then he held her by the shoulder and took her to the table. "Make a wish!"She nodded, put her hands together, and closed her eyes.What was her wish?Over the past five years, she had made the same wish on every one of her birthdays: she wished for James to like

    She sighed and thought of Daniel uncontrollably. She was getting more and more confused about how to get along with him. Now he was the only person she could rely on and ask for help in Dragon City, but he was too domineering and strong. Working with him was like playing with fire, which burned her to ashes one day.Dot turned around and looked at them with his eyes wide open, "Mommy, daddy, are you going to kiss each other?"Instantly, Sonia stood up in a hurry, "You little kid, what are you talking about?"Dot stuck his tongue out and climbed onto James's legs, "Dad, you two will get along better if you often kiss Mom.""Yes." Mili giggled and covered her mouth with her hand. "I saw many people kissing each other on TV. So they are very close to each other."Sonia wiped the sweat from her forehead. It must be when her mother was watching the soap opera. The two kids hid on the stairs and watched them, learning everything inappropriate for children.Even a gifted baby in the family w

    As soon as she finished, Eva thumped the table. "Sonia, you are right. Human beings will be unwilling to accept friends or relatives if they are tempted by desire. Look at those imperial kings in ancient times. They would kill their sons, wives and brothers without hesitation for the emperor's throne." She then patted on Vinton's shoulder and said, "Vinton, your mother must have been carried away by power. You should keep an eye on her. Don't let her get away with it."Vinton nodded and said, "yes." Although Elizabeth was his biological mother, he didn't want to be a puppet in front of her. More importantly, if her families got the shares of the company, they should leave them to their own sons, not to him, their nephew.Taking a sip of tea, Sonia continued, "actually, I have a way. I can make you promise that you will have nothing to worry about after you take over the position of the CEO.""What's it?" Asked Vinton."Find out all your mother's accomplices and the people she planted

    Daniel walked quickly to them, leaving Leila behind. "Why are you two together?" He asked and frowned slightly."Why can't we be together?" Sonia retorted sourly."Dan, since you have divorced, we are just ordinary friends. And about what happened to her, you don't need to ask more." Walt said slowly, distancing himself from Sonia.They were not friends. Sonia corrected him in her heart. Daniel told her in person that they only had business relationship at the moment.There was a touch of melancholy on the face of Daniel. Was his brother going to take advantage of his weakness and swoop in? Even if it was his own brother, Walt would never have an idea on his wife. When he was about to speak, Leila walked to him from behind and put her hand in his arm. "Brother Dan, let's go to the bar counter for a drink?" She dragged him away on purpose.Looking at them, Sonia was furious and said, "excuse me." After saying that, she walked away with Walt arm in arm.Pulling his arm out of her grip,

    "Don't you have someone with you tonight?" Sonia stared at him angrily and found that Leila was not with him at the moment. She should be going to the makeup room to fix her makeup."Do you really want me to be with another woman?" He frowned slightly and felt a little displeased."It's none of my business whether you have women or not, but I'm a neat freak. Stay away from me if you touch other women. Don't make me dirty." She turned her head angrily and looked away from him. Thinking of the image that he made out with Leila, she was filled with anger and wanted to give him a punch.There was a sparkle in his dark eyes. He reached out and held her in his arms."What are you doing? Everyone is watching us. " Sonia felt ashamed and annoyed and wanted to push him away in a hurry. But she couldn't get rid of him because of his strong arms. "Everyone knows that you are my wife. Even if I have you now, nobody dares to say no.""Your ex-wife."

    "Then I'll give the agreement to another company." He threatened.She was ashamed, angry, and anxious. Rolling her eyes, she said, "I can't do it every night. I still have children to take care of. Holy is now in a rebellious teenager. The family suffer such a big blow that his little heart is badly hurt. He is not familiar with his sister Cathy. There is no need to say, the only person he trusts and wants to be close to is me." After taking a pause, she continued, "How about this? I'll stay in your house every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and I'll go back home to accompany Holy every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. You should also go back to accompany Rabi. No matter how wonderful grandpa and grandma are, they can't compare with dad."Daniel was slightly angry. This woman dared to negotiate with him and hit the nail on the head. Didn't she know her situation? She could only nod. Did she have the qualification to shake her head and negotiate?"Yes or not? You only have two op

    Malcolm called and told her the Emperor's request.Was it what Daniel asked her to talk with William? Sonia just entered the Vintons Group and had no idea of the development program in Sea City. How should she talk about it? Most importantly, although the position of the president has been taken over, Elizabeth will definitely not give up. She is staring at Sonia. If anything goes wrong, Elizabeth will take the opportunity to find trouble, and even incite the directors to stop the president. So she had no choice but to try.She asked Malcolm to send the cooperation plan to her, so that she could study it and make preparations in the evening. Fortunately, it was William, and they were friends. She didn't know much about building and development, so he would understand and explain to her. If it was someone else, she even didn't know how to deal with it.The next day, she went to the South Pier as promised. The Secretary of the president office, Christabel, was waiting by the dock.

    Now she really hoped that he could stay with her and wait for their baby to be born."Mrs. James, come on. The kids will come out soon." The doctor said. In New York, Sonia and James always pretended to be a couple in order to avoid the neighbors' random guesses and discussions. However, Sonia had already told him very clearly that it was impossible for them to be together again. She was a woman who had been married and had children, so she did not deserve him.But James had never thought about giving up. Although many things have changed, his feelings for her have never changed. At this moment, he was more nervous than her, trembling all over his body. Her painful cry was like thousands of sharp claws scratching his heart.After three hours, the two babies' loud cries rang in the delivery room."Yes, a boy and a girl. Congratulations, Mr. James and Mrs. James." The midwife said with a smile.With tears and sweat streaming down her face, she took a look at the babies in the midwife's

    The door of the operating room was finally opened. Due to the premature delivery, the baby was not in a good condition. Valery had to put the baby in the incubator for observation.When the nurse came out with an incubator, Sonia walked over and looked at the boy through the incubator wall. The boy was so small, like a cat.Although she didn't know if he was related to Daniel by blood, she knew the boy was related to her by blood because she was his aunt.No matter how bad Valery was, the child was innocent. She hoped that everything would be fine with him.When they got back, Daniel checked out the surveillance video. He was totally pissed off when he saw that Valery pushed Sonia. He just wanted to rush into the hospital and strangle her. Anyway, since the child was born, he didn't need to worry about her at all."I will ask the hospital to do a paternity test tomorrow."Sonia nodded. There was a smile on her face when Valery and her mother knew the result that the baby was not Danie

    Daniel happened to drive past the front of a hospital where he caught a glance at two familiar figures who appeared to be immersed in a romantic world of their own, without minding the public. He took a closer look and realised that the lady who was being smooched and kissed was his Sonia, and the guy was James. He couldn't believe his eyes, although by the time he saw them in the act, they appeared to be rounding off and separating from each other's embrace.Boiling with rage, he rushed out of the car and immediately pounced on James without hesitation.Blood immediately oozed from his nose and the corners of his mouth. When he was about to hit him again with his fist, Sonia rushed over to protect him. She said, "Dan, what are you doing?"Holding her up like an eagle that had twisted a chicken. The rage in his heart made him want to throw her to the ground, but his remaining sensibility forced him to endure it and slowly loosened his grip.James jumped up from the ground, like an inj
