"What did you wish for?" Cecil asked curiously."I wished for the health of all the people I love.""Including me?""Of course." Zora made a face, "What did you wish for?""I hope that the next time I come to Rome, you are still with me.""Then try harder and don't make me sad, and I'll always be by your side."Cecil picked her up from behind and spun her around in place, "When I come to Rome next time, I want you to be my wife."Zora made a serious thinking face, "I'll have to think about it."Cecil doesn't put too much pressure on her, he smiles and kisses her, then wanders through the square.They visited several interesting places, took pictures, joked and spent a happy afternoon.In the evening, they had steak on the beach. Cecil patiently cut it up and put it in front of her, "Enjoy, my lady."Zora snorted with laughter. She picked up a piece of steak with her fork and tasted it. The setting sun shone on her body, reflecting her smiling face more charmingly.Cecil felt that he w
Zora is awakened by Cecil's kiss.Cecil hugged her from behind, like a big spoon hugging a little spoon, and kissed her tenderly on the shoulder."You're awake?" Cecil asked her with a smile.Zora was in a bit of a trance. She felt as if her body had been crushed by something heavy, and she was aching all over.She slowly regained consciousness. She was in Rome, and she had made love to Cecil last night."Are you feeling okay?" Cecil asked with concern, while his hand reached down to try to caress her garden."No ......" Zora stopped his hand, her face was burning and she didn't even know how to face Cecil behind her.She thought about her moans and their conversation last night, she couldn't believe she was so ...... open.Cecil knew she was shy and instead of continuing his movements, he held her quietly and let her adjust to their new relationship."It's your birthday." Zora remembered an important message, "Happy birthday.""I was happy enough last night, baby," Cecil's voice was
2 months later.In a business class, Pearl, who had been excited for a long time, finally fell asleep. Gwen and Ulric rolled their eyes and slumped wearily in the business-class seats."Parenting is such a pain in the ass, much harder than being a ceo." Gwen sighs."We're both calm people, but Pearl is outgoing and mischievous. Maybe God wanted to bring something different into our lives." Ulric is too tired to move.Lydia looked at Ely in her arms and pondered: this baby, was he too quiet?Ely rarely cries, except when he is hungry or has a wet diaper. He likes to play with himself when he is awake, staring at the toys around him for a long time, as if he is thinking.Doctors say he is exploring and perceiving the world around him. His brain is developing, so parents should not disturb him.Lydia could only watch him from the side, thinking he was even deeper than Vince.Hey, she wanted a baby like Pearl, but ended up bringing another man like Vince into the family."I want Ely to be
Lydia had always wanted to say sorry to Vince. But since they met again, so much had happened between them that she hadn't found the right opportunity to say the words.Vince felt his heart grow heavy and he hugged Lydia, "You don't need to say sorry to me. Although I don't remember what happened before, I didn't fall in love with someone else while you were away, and I fell in love with you again when we met again. I asked you to marry me, and we had a baby. All of this means that you bring me more joy than sorrow.""I will never leave you again, whether you can remember the past or not."Vince touched Lydia's face, "We are fated couples, and no matter how many memories I lose, I will love you again."The sweetness dispelled the sadness in Lydia's heart, "The luckiest thing in my life was meeting you.""Me too."They looked deep into each other's eyes, their lips getting closer and closer ............After leaving the campus, they went for a walk by the river."Look, do you see tha
"Zora, don't forget the meeting tonight, we must get this project or our final assignment will be in danger.""OKAY ......" Zora responded to Jessica in a long, careless voice as she played with her pencil in one hand, thinking about tonight's meeting.Her partner was right, she had to get this project tonight.Zora had been at Oxford for a month now, taking a course in cultural management with some exchange students. The final requirement of the course was to curate an exhibition in London.They discussed it for a long time and finally decided to do an exhibition on the theme of watches. A watch is a tool to record time and let people feel the passing of time, and it is also a decoration which can represent class, power and taste. A good watch can be kept for a long time. It has been with its owner for a long time, and every scratch on it hides a story.Their professor admired their idea and introduced them to a company. "My friend is a businessman who deals in art in London. He told
Cecil woke up.His eyes are still closed, and he is still reveling in the pleasure of last night.For lovers, s.ex after parting is more unforgettable than the wedding night.Zora had 2 orgasms last night. Her body tensed with each orgasm, then she let out a long moan that sent shivers through every part of her body.He felt so satisfied.After each s.ex, his body was so relieved, as if he had run a marathon, tired and happy.He opened his eyes and looked at Zora getting dressed. "Baby, stay with me a little longer."Zora gave him a look, "I have a class at 8:00 this morning and I need to get back to school."Cecil pouted, but he couldn't force her to stay here, so he reluctantly got up, took a few bites of bread, and then drove Zora to school."I'll be staying in London for six months to expand my business, and when you finish your exchange program, I'll come back to LA with you," Cecil said as he drove."OK." Zora knew that Cecil came to London not only for work but also to accompan
One month later. America."Why did you suddenly decide to have a wedding?" Gwen stopped reviewing her work report and looked at Lydia in surprise.Lydia touched her nose sheepishly, "Vince proposed to me last year. We've been preparing for the wedding and were going to get married right after my first jewelry show. But, you know, a lot of sad things happened after the show. I got pregnant and Vince lost his memory, so our wedding kept getting delayed.""And now Vince has regained his memory, so you decided to have the wedding right away?" Gwen asked."Yes, we didn't want to put off the wedding any longer. I don't desire a lavish and grand wedding, as long as you guys are around to bless me, that's all that matters."Gwen nodded, "Where are you planning to have the wedding?""In a private garden in Los Angeles. We're going to do a lawn wedding. Spring is here and I don't want to miss out on such nice sunshine." There was a light twinkling in Lydia's eyes."Okay," Gwen said happily, "ho
Ulric's uncle, Liam Rockefeller, came to Los Angeles alone, and he didn't tell Ulric ahead of time.Last year, to defeat Richard, Ulric called him to find help.Even though they hadn't spoken in years, Liam recognized the phone number at first glance. He pressed the answer button, "Hello?""Uncle, this is Ulric," Ulric spoke a little hesitantly, not as decisively as he usually did."I know, is there anything I can do to help?" Liam changed his old authoritarian and angry voice to a gentle one. He knew Ulric must be in a difficult situation, otherwise, he wouldn't have called him, especially since he was so proud."I have a good friend, you know, Vince, who has been in trouble lately," Ulric said.Ulric and Vince grew up together in New York, and Liam knew Vince and liked him a lot."Oh, that guy, what's wrong?" Liam frowned. If there was one thing that Ulric and Vince couldn't solve, it had to be tricky. Oh, God, he hoped the two lads wouldn't suffer.Ulric had told his uncle what hap
Ely's eyes widened in disbelief when Daisy told Ely about Pearl's blind date.Daisy put her hands on her hips and shouted, "go and get her back quickly. I want her to be my sister-in-law. She can't marry anyone else."Ely had no idea why Pearl would go on a blind date.Last week, they were sleeping together.Pearl had refused to see him for some reason this week, but he thought she just needed time to come to terms with the change. He thought he had Pearl, but Pearl was seeing other men.He couldn't accept it. He had to ask for an answer.He grabbed the car keys off the table and ran out.Daisy put her hand to her mouth in the shape of a trumpet and shouted at his back, "Come On!"……Pearl was sitting in a quiet corner of the cafe, listening to the introduction of the young man sitting across from her.This man is an ideal husband. His father is a senior manager at a consulting firm in Seattle, and his mother is a doctor. He is a warm, handsome, gentle Stanford graduate who is now the
"Please go back. My sister doesn't want to see you." Eva's tone was a bit harsh, and she stood at the door, blocking Ely's entry."Eva, please let me in. I have something to say to Pearl," Ely implored Eva. He's obviously not sleeping well, and he's got a little stubble on his chin.Eva, always soft and gentle, looked at Ely, who had taken care of her since childhood, and said angrily, "Don't come looking for my sister! I've never seen her so sad. She's been locked in her room for three days!"Hearing the news, Ely became even more worried. "I was wrong. I want to apologize to her."Ely steps forward, trying to get into the house, but Eva refuses to step aside. "I would never let you in today."Eva turned and ran into the house, locking the door behind her.Ely stood there, looking up at the window in Pearl's room.Her room was dark.What's she doing? Is she crying?Ely tries to break in again, but Ulric calls out behind him, "You're not seeing her today. Please go home."Ely turned.
15 years later,"Have you thought about it?" Ely raised his eyes and asked with a gentle smile. "would you like to bet with me?""Why not? We've been betting all my life, and I hardly ever lose." Pearl sneered at him contemptuously. "But I'll up the ante: If I win, you give me your medical project."Ely remained calm. "Pearl, I don't remember you being interested in a medical project.""Nonsense! Just say whether you bet or not!""I'll bet," Ely laughed. " But I'm going to raise the stakes too.""Say it!""How about a night with me?" Ely, the new Evans CEO, changed his gentle smile, leaned over, and whispered in her ear, "If you lose, sleep with me."Pearl wanted to scratch his face with the fork she was holding. But his face attracted many women in the city crazy, she did not dare to hurt him, only glare at him.Ely smiled with pleasure and waited patiently for her answer."OK," Pearl said, gritting her teeth.She's gonna win.……Pearl came back to the company.After dealing with a f
Pearl was so happy after Gwen gave birth to the twins that she shared the good news with all her friends at school.Every day after school, she would rush out of class, get in her car, put on her seat belt, and say to the driver, "I'm going home to look after my mommy and Carl and Ava."Carl and Eva are the names Pearl gave the newborn babies. She picked them out at the first glance of Ulric's long list of names."Carl, Eva. I like those two names." Pearl doesn't like complicated names."Okay," Ulric touched her head. "You're the big sister now. This is your first successful task: name your little brother and sister."Pearl looked up with pride. She wanted to be a big sister. It would give her a sense of accomplishment.Eva is an introverted, quiet girl. She became Pearl's little tail when she could walk, smiled shyly at Pearl's words, and seldom cried.Pearl was very fond of Eva. She often kissed Eva. "Oh, Eva, you're as cute as a Daddy Doll. I don't want you to grow up. I want you t
After learning that Gwen had fainted, Ulric immediately suspended a meeting with a wealthy Middle Eastern businessman and rushed out of the conference room."Sorry, my wife is in the hospital now."An hour later, Ulric appeared at the door of the hospital room, panting.Gwen has always been a healthy and energetic person, and she rarely fell ill. For as long as Ulric could remember, Gwen only had stomach pains when she ate erratically, but since her stomach had recovered a lot under his care, Ulric couldn't understand why she fainted.Is she sick? And he was such a careless husband that he didn't even notice it."Gwen!" Ulric yelled as he pushed open the door.But there was no one in the room, just Gwen's Hermès bag on the sofa.Ulric's mind was more disturbed, and he wanted to see her now, to make sure she was all right.“There you are.” Gwen's voice rang behind him."Oh, honey, are you okay?" Ulric held her shoulders nervously, his eyes wandering over her body.Gwen looked no differ
Zora is not the only one who is preparing for pregnancy, but also Gwen.Pearl is now 4 years old. She has been a lively and outgoing girl since she was a child and likes to make friends. As long as she plays with her friends, she is willing to share all her toys and likes to kiss her friends.Gwen didn't understand her daughter's behavior. She asked Pearl, "Honey, why did you kiss them?""Because I love them. Daddy loves Mommy, so you kiss every day. I love my friends, and I want to kiss them," said Pearl happily."Well... Pearl, there's a difference between a kiss between me and Your Daddy," said Gwen, holding her forehead."Why?" Pearl looked at her with big, innocent eyes.Gwen was speechless. She didn't know how to explain it to Pearl. Come on, Pearl's just a kid. A kiss between kids is a sign of friendship. She doesn't have to be nervous."You can kiss your friends, but you have to get permission first. If a strange person kisses you, you have to say NO, okay?""Yes, Mommy." Pear
Three years later.Cecil is unhappy these days because he learns from his assistant that there is a man who likes to appear in front of Zora lately.Although Zora and he had gotten married 3 months ago. He had already put a diamond ring on her finger, but he was still nervous whenever a man peeked at Zora.He picked up the information his assistant had gathered about the man and flipped through it carefully.Huh! He remembers this boy called Claude. Four years ago, when Zora first moved to Los Angeles, he asked Zora to watch a game with him. Although he showed up just in time to bring Zora's attention back to him, he still remembered the threat this man brought to him.A sunny, handsome, athletic football quarterback.Both he and Zora have graduated. Zora is now an independent curator, and Claude is a professional football player.Zora had already forgotten about him, but last week his team made a deal with Zora's studio, so the guy named Claude started coming around to Zora under var
Liam sat on the couch, browsing through the report his assistant had sent him before turning off his phone and leaning back on the couch, with his eyes closed.He had to admit that he was getting older. When he was younger, he could lead an army for three days in the desert or rainforest without feeling sleepy, but now his energy was getting worse. After some travel today, he now feels tired.Since the surgery, his body has become weaker. But as special forces general, he would rather die in battle than become an old man who is taken care of.Getting old is a cruel thing for a general.Liam coughed a few times and he pulled out his pocket watch. It was time to take his medicine.He took out a bottle with medicine, read the label the doctor put on it carefully, and then took a few pills.It was in this quiet room that Liam let go of his pride and showed a sense of loneliness and weakness.There was a knock at the door. The sound starts with some urgency, then becomes regular.Liam stra
