The sales assistant grabbed the old lady’s hand, and demanded, "You must pay for this dress!"Levian grabbed the sales assistant's wrist, and threw her to the side. The sales assistant staggered a few steps away due to the force."That’s not how you should talk to an elder."Luna stood before the old lady, and looked at the sales assistant coldly.The commotion attracted the crowd. The sales assistant looked panicky."It’s none of your business!" the sales assistant yelled, staring angrily at Luna and Levian.Luna blocked the old lady from the sales assistant's sight.The sales assistant observed them, and said sarcastically, "Tourists, huh? Mind your own business."Levian stared coldly at her. The sales assistant was frightened by Levian’s gaze."It seems your parents didn't teach you good manners. I don't mind teaching you today," he said coldly.The sales assistant shuddered. She had seen all kinds of people in the store, and could feel the pressuring aura of Levian.Her
Luna nodded solemnly.Levian smiled, and rubbed her head. "Thanks for considering. I appreciate it."He took out his phone, and typed something.Luna watched curiously, and leaned forward to take a look. She was stunned when she saw that he had posted their photo on Facebook.She said quickly, "Delete it before they see it!"She regretted telling him that.Levian put the phone back into his pocket, and hugged her. "Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry."Luna understood his intentions, and said nothing."I promised you I'll never let you down. That's not the reason for you to be my secret lover. I don't have to please my fans. I'm rich. I'm a professional racer, not a gigolo."Levian words sounded so sincere, Luna was touched. She raised her head to look at him, stood on tiptoes, and kissed his lips.Levian was stunned. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled. "You amaze me, Luna.""Huh?" Luna looked at him confusedly."You’re brave enough to kiss me now."She blush
In a dimly lit room, Melody Nolan’s head was buried in the soft covers of her bed. Her tense neck was flushed, and she swallowed the painful moans from escaping her throat.The room temperature rose slightly. In the next moment, someone pushed her away.Having been married for three years, Melody had long grown accustomed to the cold treatment. There was little else she could do. She was the one who had gone and fallen madly in love with the man before her, after all.Ignoring the pain racking through her body, she casually slipped into a thin shirt. She left the room, and returned with a cake she had carefully prepared."Chris, today’s your birthday. Grandpa insisted you take at least one bite of the cake."With a click, the man fastened his belt. He only turned to look at her after a long time had passed."Melody, do you think using Grandpa as an excuse will make me listen to you?"Under the dim light, Christopher Bolton exuded a cold and aloof demeanor. His well-tailored suit
Christopher was taken aback by her straightforwardness. His sharp eyes fell on the paper on the table. The words "Divorce Agreement" stood out, glaring at him. He scanned the paper quickly, his brows furrowing deeper with each passing line. However, his gaze remained flat. It was hard to tell what he was feeling.Although the agreement was concise, it was impeccably drafted. How could a woman from the slums know how to draft a divorce agreement? At first, Christopher had his doubts. When he read the final line, his skepticism was replaced by a cold, mocking laughter."Just a villa is enough to satisfy you?"In the asset division section, Melody had only mentioned the villa they currently lived in. Christopher couldn't believe it. A woman who had gone to such lengths to marry him was asking for just one house in the divorce?Melody rolled her eyes at his reaction. She didn't care about the Bolton family's wealth at all. The only reason she mentioned the villa was because s
Christopher was sitting in an extended Lincoln, flipping through the emails on his phone. His face was expressionless.Luke, who was in the co-pilot seat, kept looking out.It had been a day since Melody Nolan agreed to the divorce. Luke still found it hard to believe. He was sure she was the only one who could endure Christopher’s coldness."How long has it been?" Christopher suddenly asked. Luke glanced at his phone. "We've been here for half an hour, sir."Christopher said nothing to that, and went silent. Luke voiced his curiosity. "Mr. Bolton, was Mrs. Bolton serious about it?"Christopher froze and didn’t answer. However, Luke could sense the man’s anger. He turned around and looked away, regretting speaking too much. The next second, he exclaimed in surprise."Mr. Bolton, Mrs. Bolton’s here!"Christopher looked up. The Lincoln windows were covered with anti-spy film, so people outside couldn’t see them. From inside, he saw Melody getting off a Porsche Carrera GT.H
Christopher’s phone suddenly vibrated. Seeing the caller ID, he swiped the screen to answer."Chris, I can't stand up anymore. The doctor said I might never be able to stand up again. Where are you? I'm so scared..."Talia's voice was soft and frail. She sounded like she was restraining herself from crying, and that made her even more pitiful.Christopher looked away from Melody. His tone softened as he consoled her, "Don't be scared. I'm on my way there. Luke, to the hospital!"-When Melody got into the car, she tore the divorce certificate without hesitation.Purple and white pieces of paper covered her palms. She pulled open the storage compartment in the car, and dumped the shredded pieces inside expressionlessly.Irwin drove in silence, giving her enough time to calm down.Melody took out her phone and skimmed through her contacts. She didn’t get in touch with anyone in the past few years due to her amnesia. Since she had regained her memories, she intended to pick up tho
Benjamin ignored the kicked door, and restrained his emotions quickly. He stepped forward, held Melody’s hand kindly, and observed her with loving eyes."Melody, you're still alive! Thank goodness, thank goodness... All these years, I’ve searched everywhere for you! You have no idea how much I’ve missed you and your parents."He rambled about the past in a heartwarming manner. He looked so touched, he was close to tears. Melody watched coldly as her hypocrite of an uncle kept acting. "Oh, really? I missed you too," she said. "I’m so glad! Don't be sad, Melody. Although your parents are no longer around, I’m still here to take care of you until you get married and have your own family."He gave her a soft smile filled with warmth, the loving distress in his eyes obvious.Melody tightened her hands, pretending to be touched. "I’ll never forget your kindness, Uncle."Benjamin put away his worries. He was convinced she wouldn’t pose much of a threat, even if she was lucky enough t
"Don’t worry, Talia. I’ll marry you," he said.Talia was ecstatic to hear it. She was curious—had Christopher gotten a divorce?Her face was flushed with happiness. She sniffed sadly, ready to sweet-talk him into oblivion. However, his phone rang at that very moment."What's the matter?"Christopher walked away calmly, with one hand in his pocket. Sunlight fell on his frame, and he looked more handsome than ever. Yet he had a blank look on his face, as if he had not proposed to Talia a few minutes ago.Talia bit her lip, feeling a little resentful. When she thought back to Christopher’s promise to marry her, happiness dispelled the resentment instantly.She touched her plastered leg; her eyes gleamed with greed and pride. Even with a broke leg, she still made it! She was sure Christopher loved her too!Christopher didn’t see her greedy gaze. He soon hung up, and picked up his coat from the chair. He glanced at Talia, and said softly, "Take care of yourself. I’ll come again so
