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
In the conference room, Gwen looked up at Ulric with mixed emotions and did not speak.At her loneliest and most helpless moment, he had rushed to her aid.Not only did he help her with her biggest problem, but he also announced that Pearl was his daughter and claimed to be her husband.Husband ...... Gwen never thought she would have a husband standing in front of her, helping her ward off malice and hurt.Ulric looked her in the eyes, took a step closer to her, bowed his head, and put his face to hers."Don't think I'll forgive you even if you look at me with those eyes."Ulric's words were still cold and determined, but there was a tenderness to them as if he were saying to Gwen: Come and coax me.Gwen's eyes were a little red; she was a strong girl who had never cried in front of anyone since she was an adult. She turned her head away, trying to force back the tears."Look at me." Ulric took her face and made her look at him. "You don't need to hide your emotions in front of me. I
Gwen took the iPad to the table, "Here are some bridesmaid dresses. You can pick the one you like. Also, I have a special birthday present for you."Lydia sat up with a gasp. Oh, she almost forgot her birthday was coming up.The gift was a couture bridal veil. The white gauze was adorned with precious diamonds, just like stars dotting the sky.Lydia covered her mouth in surprise.Gwen smiled and said, "I knew Vince would choose your wedding dress carefully, so I'm giving you a veil. This veil is from the same collection as mine. I hope it will accompany you on your wedding day and witness your happiest moment."Lydia was moved beyond words. She hugged Gwen tightly, and all the words were in the hug.......Tomorrow is Lydia's birthday. Lydia was hesitant on her way home: should she remind Vince?They were lovers in college, and Vince should know her birthday. But recently, Vince has been so busy working to get a longer wedding leave that he seems to have forgotten Lydia's birthday.Ly
