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
Disney's exclusive birthday fireworks show quickly became the talk of the celebrity circuit. Married and unmarried ladies discussed the event with mixed emotions as they sipped their afternoon tea."I've heard that Disney's booking fee is about $200,000. It's not that expensive." Olivia, a newly married woman, said with mock disdain.The other women nodded, but glanced at Olivia and laughed quietly under the cover of their teacups.It's true that $200,000 isn't very expensive for their husbands, but the point is that their husbands don't want to spend $200,000 on their birthdays and won't take the time to dream up their princess fantasies.Olivia doesn't even have a honeymoon. Her husband kept her in a villa after they got married and only gave her $30,000 a month to live on. Olivia has to socialize, buy luxury goods and maintain the life of a rich wife. The money is indeed a bit stretched.In fact, many so-called rich wives struggle to keep a semblance of respectability. However, as
Iris deliberately runs her hand through her beautiful hair to show off her diamond ring.Some of the women around her noticed the ring. The firework-shaped diamond ring was so special that they couldn't resist accosting Iris."This ring is so beautiful. What brand is it?"Iris showed her ladylike decent smile, "This is a new product of Beloved Jewelry Company, and it is also the ring Richard proposed to me. This ring is not on sale yet, and it's the only one in the world. It will be officially on sale next week."The women admired the ring for a while without further question. Although the design was stunning, it was not worth collecting as it's someone else's proposal ring."Lydia, isn't Beloved Jewelry Company your father's company? You should know about this ring. Oh, what a pity, this firework-shaped ring would be perfect for your wedding ring." Someone said to Lydia.Everyone knew about the fireworks show that Vince gave to Lydia.Lydia was speechless. Her parents' jewelry compan
