As night falls, in the center of the city, a high-class residence on the top floor has no lights on, and there is no sound and silence inside.The door handle slowly turns and a tall man walks into the room. He stands in the doorway, adjusts to the darkness inside, and then scans the room.At the corner of the floor-to-ceiling window and the wall, a woman sat quietly, draped in a blanket, leaning lifelessly against the window. Her eyes were vacant, looking out the window as if a butterfly had been made into taxidermy.The man saw the untouched meal on the table, frowned, and walked up to Iris, "Why are you like that?"Iris didn't say anything, as if she didn't hear."Are you going to torture yourself for Vince? He won't do anything to change for you."Iris still didn't say anything."I'll tell you one more thing. Vince's girlfriend in college was Lydia, which means you lost from the beginning, even though you knew him since you were a kid and he never liked you-""Pop!" A water glass
Vince arrived at work in the morning. As soon as he opened the office door, Cecil jumped out of the room, "SURPRISE!"Vince was expressionless, glanced at the blanket on the couch, and looked at Cecil, "I can only help you for 3 days.""Oh, God, thanks, bro." Cecil looked desperate. "You know what? My grandma put that woman in the room across the hall from my bedroom. I can stand to have a woman in my house out of nowhere, but I can't stand to have her living across the hall from me. Oh, God only knows if she'll crawl into my bed in the middle of the night."Instead of sympathizing with him, Vince asked, "How old is she?""I don't know. But she seems to have just started her freshman year.""Then I have to worry if you're going to sneak into her room in the middle of the night.""God, I swear. That will never happen!"Vince ignored him, sat down at his desk and opened the file his secretary had prepared, and casually asked, "Why does your grandma insist that you take her as your wife?
One sunny afternoon, Lydia was at Gwen's house, humming a little tune to Pearl in her crib while she fumbled with making formula.Pearl was a little hungry, and she was pouting and grunting, ready to cry at any moment.Lydia held the jar of formula in one hand and the hot water in the other, with her eyes on the formula-making instructions on her phone."Put the formula in the feeder first, oh no, I should put the hot water first - wait, how many milliliters of hot water do I need?"Pearl was already crying out."Baby, sorry, it's my first time making formula today, I'll be ready in a minute."Lydia finally made the formula and, after putting a few drops on the back of her hand to make sure the temperature was right, she picked up Pearl again and brought the bottle's teat to her mouth as instructed in the picture.However, Pearl was not willing to accept such a rubbery thing even though she was crying from hunger. She had been breastfed since birth, and now she would only accept n.ipp
Pearl, who has changed her clothes, lies in her crib. Her fingers are in her mouth, with her eyes looking at Gwen one moment and Ulric the next."Little naughty." Gwen smiled.Ulric stroked her little face, "Sweetie, next month, you'll be able to practice rolling over in the kiddie park I bought you."Gwen glanced at Ulric, "You know a lot about how babies grow. Do you have illegitimate children? Like some women hide their pregnancies from you quietly-""You have a vivid imagination."Gwen looked up and suddenly realized that she and Ulric were so close that it was more than social distance, but the proximity of physical contact, and she could even see the texture of the skin on his face. She took an uncomfortable step back and her heart skipped a beat.This Ulric, he's really dangerous!Ulric noticed Gwen's shyness and embarrassment. He pretended not to see it and stepped forward to approach Gwen again, "My offer has been valid for a long time, you are welcome to come to me anytime.
Gwen woke up earlier than usual this morning. Pearl was still sleeping in her crib with her finger in her mouth, sucking on it intentionally, like the Thumbelina sleeping in a flower. Gwen looked at her quietly for a minute, then whispered with a smile, "my sweet, mommy is going to a battle today, please cheer me on. "Gwen kissed Pearl on the forehead and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.Today, Gwen spent more time picking out her clothes and makeup and turned on her computer again at breakfast to make sure her PowerPoint was perfect.Yes, today she's taking her bid document to a competition for the new energy project. She had been preparing for this for a long time and was writing the draft of the document while she was pregnant.She has to win because she needs to open up new markets and bring in new capital for the company, otherwise, her leering uncle could snatch the CEO's seat away at any time.For the sake of the company, and for Pearl's future life, she must win.
When Gwen woke up again, she looked at her unfamiliar surroundings in a bit of a trance.Ulric sat in the shadow of the light and watched Gwen when she was staring blankly at the ceiling.At this point, Gwen removed her defenses and became a cat that had put away its sharp claws, harmless and cute.Ulric watched her with rapt attention.Gwen turned her head and saw Ulric sitting in a chair. She looked at him steadily for a moment, as if she needed to talk for a long time to recognize him.Ulric got up and filled a bowl with hot soup from a thermos. He stirred the soup for a few seconds with a spoon as he said, "I had a chef from China last month. He makes great soup."Ulric scoops the soup and brings it to Gwen.Gwen pauses for a moment.Ulric is taking care of her like a boyfriend. His tone was gentle, but his actions were so dominant that she could not refuse.Seeing that Gwen did not react, Ulric tasted the soup on the spoon, "It's not very hot. You can't eat anything cold now. It'
Gwen had seen many men in business. Deep, shrewd, furious, domineering, and gentle, but he had never seen a man like Ulric.At this moment, Ulric is angry. His anger is not the kind of rage, but a kind of aura from his body that makes people dare not disobey.In the car, Ulric is holding Pearl. His face is serious and he is still pissed off with Gwen, but he looks at Pearl with tenderness, showing a father's love.Gwen sat next to him, not daring to move. She tried to be calm, but her body was trembling slightly.Not only had she taken Ulric's first night, but she had also used his sperm to have a child. Neither she nor her company could survive in Los Angeles if Ulric tried to get back at her. And Pearl, if he didn't like Pearl ......Gwen quietly glanced at Ulric, who was holding her daughter.She breathed a sigh of relief. At least, Ulric liked Pearl, and the only thing she needed to worry about was whether Ulric would fight for custody.Gwen put a hand to her forehead. Her body wa
It was already 10:30, and Ulric had never slept so soundly.Ulric was awakened by the sound of a vibrating cell phone. He stretched out comfortably, reached for the phone, eyes closed, put the phone to his ear, and listened to the call with the most comfortable posture.Vince said directly, "Gwen's uncle, Anthony, is causing trouble at her office right now. Lydia is on her way over.""What?" Ulric's doze was half awake."I don't know what your relationship with her is, but I think you need to know this."Vince's words were succinct and clear, and Ulric was fully awake, "Thank you, bro."Ulric hung up the phone and looked to the other side of the bed.It was empty.Damn, Gwen was gone again!Had everything last night been a dream?Ulric panicked. He let Gwen getaway last time. He couldn't lose Gwen again this time.Ulric rushed to get dressed and rushed to the nursery. Oh, thank God, Pearl was playing in the nanny's arms. She was already familiar with Ulric and smiled at him.There was
