"Father, you mean I am not compassionate towards my son," Lyla sneered and said.
"Grandfather's meaning is that if mother wants to see me, you can always wake up early or go to bed late like him." Ronald said loudly with a cold face before Arturo.
"You...How dare you talk to me like this?" Lyla never thought that Ronald would actually say such a thing, and her face quickly fell.
Ronald did not mind her rebuke at all. "Since mother is unwilling, then don't blame your son. After all, your son did not suddenly become like this today."
He would never forget that when he was young, he would greet his mother in the morning and at night. But he was never allowed into her room. He would always kneel at the door for an hour before leaving while crying.
Grandfather only said that he was atoning for his father's sins, but he didn't understand why he should atone for his father's sins. Could it be that he wanted his father to abandon his mother?
Under L
A heartless person?Is Ronald counted?She didn't know how to define the relationship between her and Ronald.She wanted to say they were a couple, but he never seemed to have told anyone about her.But if they weren't a couple, what was the point of them sleeping in the same bed every night?Seeing Elizabeth keep her head low and did not say a word, Alondra thought that she had guessed correctly. "Alright, if you don't want to say it, I will not force you. Let's go home now. I'll cook noodles for you."Elizabeth gratefully looked at Alondra, and nodded. "Alondra, there are some things that I have yet to think about clearly. After I think it through, I will tell you.""Alright, no need to rush. Think about it slowly. In short, for the sake of the baby, you have to take care of yourself." Alondra said, holding her hand, and the two of them went home.Imperial Group.Office of the CEO.An entire day passed, but Rona
When Elizabeth saw the photo, she felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.Alondra did not notice her change and only explained, "Elizabeth, this is what I told you before-Our CEO's daughter and future son-in-law. Mr. Marquez is so cool! I only saw him once in the company. Only the side of his face and was already attractive. Ms. Pollard is really blessed to be able to marry such a perfect man. I would truly be envious..."Elizabeth stared at the photo blankly. She only felt her entire body turning cold, as though she was going to freeze.When leaving the villa, she had a small wish in her heart. She hoped that Ronald would look for her, but it was clear that she was wrong.Perhaps he had already wanted her to leave, but he didn't know how to start. So he hadn't said anything.Now that she had left to make room for Ms. Pollard, they hurriedly spread the news of the wedding."September 8th, huh? Isn't it only in half a month? The Marquez fam
Elizabeth didn't want to hear her confess her mistake, so before Casey finish, she interrupted her, "Don't talk about what happened that year. If you don't have anything else to say, I'll be leaving."With that, she got up and prepared to leave.Casey immediately stopped her, "Don't. I will not mention what happened back then. Stay here, please."At this moment, the waiter brought up the coffee.Elizabeth picked up the coffee and took a sip. She felt disgusted and frowned, putting the coffee on the table and didn't touch it."Coffee is not good? Would you like to change for something else?" Casey acutely noted the change in her expression and immediately asked."No, I don't want to drink anything."She looked blankly at her daughter.She thought back to the time when her children were just born. Many people around her envied her for her good fortune.But ever since her husband became addicted to gambling and began to ign
She didn't want to be the center of attention, so she reached out to help Casey up. "Stand up first, and then we'll talk."Casey immediately revealed a happy smile, "You agree?""Get up. Hurry and get up." Elizabeth lowered her head, not wanting others to see her face.Casey stood up and returned to her seat. "Elizabeth, mother knows that you are a kind-hearted child. Don't worry. This time you forgive Ainsley. In the future, I will be the big contributor to the Dyer family. They will not dare to think of kicking me out. I'll take care of that girl for you."Elizabeth didn't want to hear about the matter between her and the Dyer family, so she stood up and said, "I'll be leaving first.Without waiting for Casey to stand up, she quickly walked out of the coffee shop.On the main street, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, scorching the earth.Although the hottest summer was over, the early autumn sunshine was enough to make people
"What did you say?" Ronald frowned. He probably did not expect Elizabeth to say this.Marry her?He hadn't thought about it, but he knew that he liked her."Do you think I'm having a pipe dream?" Elizabeth smiled, "That's right. I also know that my identity is not worthy to marry you. However, Ronald, since you don't intend to marry me, why did you come to me? Or do you think that for a woman like me, as long as you spend money to maintain me, it would be enough?""I can't marry you." His voice was deep and assured.At least, not now.Elizabeth nodded. "I knew.""Why don't you stay by my side? Other than the identity of the Mrs. Marquez, I can give you everything." It was the only compromise he could make, and he was trying to keep her."But what I need is that identity." She looked at him with tears in her eyes."Elizabeth, enough!" His patience had run out and his tone had hardened."The one who should be enough
"Ms. Pollard is a pitiful person. Even though she is the only daughter of the Mr. Pollard, she can't inherit everything from him because she isn't a boy. In order to protect her father's fortune, Ms. Pollard has to get married. And the only person in this world that Mr. Pollard can trust is you, CEO. Moreover, there is still the marriage contract between the two of you. It's reasonable. Others cannot have any chance to criticize you.""When Mr. Pollard passes away, you will succeed in taking over the Pollard's group. And after Ms. Pollard starts to manage the group, the marriage will be annulled."Ronald listened to Oliver's laments silently as he looked at the kitchen.Three years, Elizabeth. Can you wait?Although Elizabeth had become his housekeeper, she did not plan to live in this villa anymore.In the evening, she prepared dinner. When Ronald and Oliver entered the dining hall, she was prepared to leave.Ronald sat down and took a look
Elizabeth was in her early stages of pregnancy, so she did not have much of an appetite.However, she also knew that the more she vomited, the more she had to eat. Otherwise, how could her baby grow up without any nutrition at all? So she kept eating.After a while, the ladies seemed to have gotten a little drunk. Elizabeth was also full, so she reminded Alondra, "Alondra, I'm full. Don't drink so much.""Don't worry. I'm fine. I won't get drunk." Alondra waved, then suddenly looked towards the door and exclaimed, "Ms. Pollard?"As she shouted, everyone on the table also looked towards the door. Shirley walked in from the outside with a sweet and charming smile. "I was eating upstairs, and heard that you were gathering here. So I came over to take a look. Have I disturbed you?"The manager was the first to react. He immediately stood up. "Ms. Pollard, it is our honor for you to visit us. Please take a seat."Shirley waved. "No, thank you. I'
"What? You seem to care about me?" Ronald's face didn't have much expression, and his tone was also light.Hearing him say this, Shirley retracted the smile on her face and said somewhat guiltily, "Of course. If that Ms. Hubbard is really your lover, then the person you ought to marry is her. I cannot let you sacrifice your feelings for no reason in order to help me."As she spoke, she was filled with joy again. "Fortunately, she's just your housekeeper.""Silly girl." Ronald smiled bitterly."Promise me, if you ever have someone you like in the future, you must tell me. At that time, we will go and get a divorce." Shirley said as she looked at him sincerely.Ronald concentrated on driving, not replying to her."Of course, if I meet a guy I like, I'll also tell you. When the time comes, you can't let me fall in love with others!" Shirley calculated in her heart."Alright." Ronald finally answered.Alondra was still completely d
Jayden seemed to have seen through her doubts, and pulled her over to the wardrobe and opened one of the cabinet doors, saying, "These are all your clothes, and since I don't know your exact size, I bought a few for you as the smallest, but I don't know if you like them or not. Wear them for now, and I'll take you out to buy what you like tomorrow."Elizabeth looked at the beautiful clothes that were hung inside, and her heart was filled with shock."When did you prepare these?""The afternoon you called me." Jayden laughed and patted her shoulder, saying, "Alright, quickly take a bath. There is a towel in the bathroom and it's clean. You can use it without worry."It seemed that he had taken every aspect into consideration for her. Elizabeth looked at him gratefully, picked up a set of pajamas and headed to the bathroom.The Marquez family Mansion.It was already late in the night when the guests had dispersed.Inside the bridal room
"You want to know? Then let me tell you. The child belongs to your brother, and it has nothing to do with you." She gritted her teeth as she glared at him.This was not the answer that Ronald wanted, but from her mouth, it was as if there were sharp thorns ruthlessly stabbing into his heart.After a long while, the big hand that was pinching her neck loosened and his clear and cold gaze shot straight into her eyes. He opened his mouth, and said with a slightly hoarse voice, he said, "Elizabeth, is this the method you used to take revenge on me for not marrying you?"Elizabeth took two deep breaths, and her red face finally returned to normal. Her lips were slightly pale, and while enduring the tears in her eyes, she sobbed, saying, "Take revenge on you? Ronald, you think too highly of yourself. To me, you are just a cash machine from the beginning to the end. The only reason I want to marry you is because you can give me money to satisfy my rich life."He
How could it be?Ronald, Jayden...They were actually two brothers?God, what was she doing?Both of them had the surname of Marquez. Why hadn't she thought that there might be some sort of relationship between them?Lowering her head, she wanted to escape from this absurd meeting, but her hand was grabbed by Jayden, and he said, "Elizabeth, let's go. I'll introduce my parents to you."Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she was all lost.After being forcefully brought by Jayden in front of a middle-aged couple and an elderly person, she heard him introduce, "Grandfather, Mom, Dad, let me introduce to you. This is Elizabeth, my wife."As soon as he finished, the surrounding crowd instantly burst into an uproar."What day is it today? The brothers get married at the same time?""Oh God, I was still thinking about the younger brother just now. Now, even he is belonged to someone.""..."After Ronald h
"Elizabeth, remember, this world has never been fair. Some people are blessed by God and have everything at birth, while others are poor in their lives and may not even be able to eat and drink full and be healthy." When Jayden said that, he unconsciously held onto his own chest.Yes, if the world was truly fair, why not gave him a healthy body?Elizabeth became silent. Seeing her lowered head, Jayden became gloomy, but he was not in a hurry to get her to promise him. He only spoke gently, "Rest well. I will not force you to make any decisions. Maybe you're right, and it's good to be a godfather."Elizabeth stayed in the hospital for a week, and during that time, he did not look for her again.When she was discharged from the hospital and returned to work at the villa, she found that while she was gone, a thin layer of dust had accumulated inside the house. It didn't seem like someone had lived here before.She went upstairs to her room. The bed wa
Elizabeth did not want to talk with her, so she kept her silence with an unhappy expression.Casey knew that she didn't like her, so she turned and said to Jayden, "Jayden, can I call you that?""Of course." Jayden laughed."Originally, this matter was between you two youngsters, so I shouldn't have said too much. But you see, Elizabeth is pregnant right now. The child can't be born without a father. Do you think you can consider marrying her...?" Casey said.When Elizabeth heard that, she was outrageous, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting, he isn't ...""Of course, I can. I've already proposed. As long as Elizabeth nods, we can immediately go and get the certificates." Jayden promised without waiting for Elizabeth to speak the truth."Oh? Really? That would be great. I told you that Elizabeth is a fortunate child." Hearing Jayden's words, Casey was immediately overjoyed, unable to conceal her joy.Seeing that the misunderstandin
In the past few days, he had already endured as he watched her walk around in front of his eyes, constantly making a fuss.If she wasn't dealt with today, she really didn't know who was the leader between them!Seeing that he was not willing to stop, in a moment of desperation, Elizabeth lowered her head and directly buried her head into his robust shoulder, opened her mouth, and fiercely bit it."Hiss ..." Elizabeth had made up her mind, which was why her bite was so painful. Feeling the pain, Ronald raised his head, and his pair of black eyes instantly turned scarlet.Elizabeth tasted a bit of blood in her mouth. Realizing that her actions were too ruthless, she nervously looked up, her lips still stained with his blood. His white shirt was also dyed red by blood, forming an arc."I told you to stop. You forced me, I ..." She forced herself to look into his ice-cold, frightening eyes. Her tone clearly showed that she was somewhat guilty.H
With this kind of conditions, there was simply no treaty in this world that was more unequal than this one. But judging from Jayden's expression, he was clearly looking forward to seeing her nod and agree."Actually... It's easy for you to find a woman like me to marry." After all, in this society, there are so many single mothers. With Jayden's abilities, he could find whoever he wanted."I know, but I have met you." Jayden said and laughed.Something could sometimes be so wonderful."Thank you for your kind intentions, I ..." She could not accept that his kindness was worth his effort to find a better girl who truly belonged to him.Before she could say anything, he was interrupted, "Don't be in such a hurry to answer me. You can consider my suggestion."After starting the car again, they didn't say anything else as he drove her to the apartment building in silence. After parting ways, they both went home.That night, Elizabeth slep
"I have a heart attack, but don't worry, just take the medicine. Can you get it for me? I can't hold the steering wheel with one hand." When Jayden said this, the car started to slow down.Elizabeth did not dare to delay, and immediately reached into his casual suit. She fumbled around for a while, only feeling a warm sensation on her hand, warm and comfortable.Her hand moved slightly downwards, and as expected, she found the inner pocket. Reaching in, she found the small bottle and took it out."It's one, right?" she asked according to her memory."Yes." Jayden had already parked the car by the side of the road and picked up the cup of water that was placed on the control panel. Elizabeth handed a pill to him and watched him take it.After he took the pill and rested for a while, Elizabeth asked carefully, "Your heart isn't well, is it?""It's congenital, unable to treat." A bitter smile appeared on Jayden's face for a moment. "I didn't sc
The three of them walked out of the restaurant and found a hot pot restaurant nearby.Upon entering, a strong spicy fragrance assaulted her nose, stimulating her taste buds.Alondra swallowed her saliva, and said with deep emotion, "As expected, I am only suitable for eating hotpot, I cannot digest advanced food.""Don't worry, next time I'll treat you to a Western restaurant, I'll definitely let you have a high-class meal." Elizabeth said."Miss Oconnell likes western cuisine?" Jayden asked while listening to their conversation."Hum ... It's not bad, but I've never eaten anything of a particularly high quality, so I wanted to try it. "Alondra scratched her head in embarrassment.After Jayden heard that, he smiled and said, "The restaurant you guys went to today also has a normal taste. If you want to eat higher grade dishes, I'll bring you two next time.""Really? Then it's a deal." Alondra immediately said, as if she was afraid tha
