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
"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
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
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
Inside the luxurious presidential suite, clothes were scattered all over the floor.The night was eerily quiet; only the sound of running water in the bathroom could be heard.Elizabeth Hubbard quietly lay on the bed, her clear black eyes fixed on the bathroom door. Her fists clenched beneath the quilt, creasing the bed sheets.With a creak, the bathroom door opened and a well-built man stepped out, the scent of shower gel lingering in the air.Ronald Marquez didn't even spare a glance at Elizabeth. Instead, he bent over to pick up the clothes on the floor. Then, he walked to the mirror and slowly put them on one by one."Sir..." Elizabeth called softly, her gaze fixed on his broad, muscular back."Um-hum," the man replied without turning, his voice indifferent."Th-this will be the last time. I'm able to cover my brother's medical expenses now," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, timidity written all over her face.Upon hearing that, Ronald paused for a moment, mid-motio
Upon hearing that, grim-faced Blaze instantly stood up and ordered, "Oh, dear! Hurry up and come with me to welcome our distinguished guest! Now!"Within moments, all the management staff in the meeting room stood up and followed the general manager out of the office, heading towards the elevator to go downstairs.Elizabeth was at the back, and as soon as she entered the elevator, the overloaded alarm went off.In his rush, Blaze waved at her. "Ms. Hubbard, take the next one."Elizabeth nodded and stepped out of the elevator.She waited for another three or four minutes before entering the next elevator. As she stepped into it, her cell phone rang from her pocket.It was Dalia Bender, a waiter from the housekeeping department, sending a picture that was clearly taken secretly.Dalia: "Our Mr. Mysterious is super gorgeous. Ms. Hubbard, hurry up and come down!"Elizabeth chuckled. She then casually zoomed in on the picture. With a single glance, she felt all the blood in her body congea
The moment Elizabeth met his gaze, a cold sweat broke out across her skin as if her heart had stopped beating.It was him. It was really him, the man who saved her brother's life two years ago, and also the man to who she lost her virginity."So she's the housekeeper you referred to?" He said in a low yet extremely magnetic voice.His gaze had already moved away from Elizabeth, and the expression on his face seemed to not have changed in the slightest.'Maybe he didn't recognize me at all?' Elizabeth hoped so.Blaze immediately turned to look at the elevator and saw Elizabeth standing there in a daze. He immediately made the introduction."Mr. Marquez, this is the manager of the housekeeping department, Elizabeth.""Ms. Hubbard, this is our distinguished guest, Mr. Marquez, who comes from the distant Lochapple. It's our great honor to have Mr. Marquez here." Even when Blaze was introducing him to Elizabeth, he did not forget to flatter Ronald.Speaking of Lochapple, he seemed to have
The main hall of the presidential suite was covered with a thick cashmere carpet imported from New Zealand. Handmade with care, it felt soft and plush underfoot as if one was stepping on clouds.However, given the circumstances, even if Elizabeth really stepped on the clouds, she wouldn't have enjoyed it.Ronald walked to the side of the sofa and sat down. Elizabeth followed beside him and wanted to speak, but she did not know what to say.She wasn't even sure if Ronald had recognized her or not.If he hadn't remembered her from the start, then her current awkward silence would only seem absurd."Um...Mr. Marquez, what would you like for dinner?' she asked, forcing a smile. 'We've prepared a menu for you, and I'll show it to you now."Although she did not wanna be his housekeeper, she had to carry out her duties now that the situation had already forced her into the position.She turned around and walked over to the bookshelf. Then she took down a menu they had prepared beforehand and
In the evening, Ronald and Oliver left the hotel for the banquet. When Elizabeth returned back to her office, she heard people whispering among themselves."Do you know? Mr. Marquez's background is incredible. He's the boss behind the biggest consortium in our country and the leader of the Imperial Group.""Really? No wonder Mr. Booth is so nervous. Many big shots had come here, but I had never seen him so cautious like this.""How can he not be cautious? No one before has such an identity. I really envy Ms. Hubbard. She can Mr. Marquez! Since Ms. Hubbard is so beautiful, could it be that she is lucky and Mr. Marquez gets his eye on her, and directly takes her back to be his wife?""Don't talk nonsense. If that housekeeping girl heard it, she would blame you. Her position as the housekeeper was taken away. You can't imagine how jealous she is now."They were whispering to each other, and neither of them noticed that there was a figure approaching them from the other side."You have no

After Alondra and Ainsley exchanged their information, they confirmed that the father of the child in Elizabeth's womb was Ronald's instead of Jayden'.Elizabeth could not deny it, but she could not admit it either. She only looked up at Ainsley, and said coldly, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you.""How could it be okay, you ..." Ainsley had thought that she was just playing around with Jayden. How could someone as rich and powerful as the Marquez family let a wild girl who had no status and did not come from a wealthy family enter their family?But now that Elizabeth was pregnant, the situation was completely different.Previously, her father had instructed her to find a chance to restore her relationship with Elizabeth. In the future, it was possible that the Dyer family would need her help.Now it seemed that even if she was unwilling, she had to develop a good relationship with Elizabeth.After all, she was currently pre
When his tie was finally tied, he looked at her with a condescending gaze. "Have you learned it?"How could Elizabeth be focus? Hearing him ask that, she just stood there, not knowing how to reply."Didn't? Then let's do it again." He was patient now, and was about to untie his tie.How could Elizabeth want to go through another ordeal like that? She immediately nodded. "Yes. I learned it."Ronald looked at her insincere expression, and after a moment, he raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Ms. Hubbard is indeed very smart. I'll leave the matter of putting on my tie to you from now on.""..." What did that mean?Could it be that she would have to interact this way with him every morning in the future?Kill me!Ronald changed his clothes and went out to work, but Elizabeth sat on the balcony on the second floor, watching the video while painfully learning to wear ties.She knew that this was a problem that Ronald
Elizabeth had never ridden on the electric car in the villa area before. Today was her first time enjoying the services.In less than four to five minutes, she was sent to Ronald's villa.The room was silent. After entering the password, she went in. It was only half past seven.Half an hour was enough to prepare breakfast.Ronald had not woken up yet, so she went straight to the kitchen, opened the fridge and started to make breakfast using the ingredients inside.Previously, when Elizabeth had been his butler in the hotel, she had a better understanding of his appetite.So for breakfast, she made egg sandwich and freshly squeezed orange juice. She also made a small pot of crab meat porridge with several dishes of cold vegetables.In fact, she knew that Ronald was picky.However, she was not a professional chef after all. So she could only prepare a few dishes.At 8 o'clock sharp in the morning, Ronald came downstairs i
"..." She wanted nothing to do with him except work."It's an employee benefit."The meaning behind his words was that this wasn't a special favor.Seeing her lower her head and remain silent, he raised his eyebrows and he asked, "Or do you want to stay here?"Live here?No!Elizabeth instantly frowned, and tightened her grip on the key. "No, the apartment is fine."If she were to really live here, facing him day and night, it would instead be weird if she didn't go insane."Very well. The address is on the envelope. You have a day off today. Pack up your apartment and move your things in. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, I hope, breakfast will be ready by the time I go downstairs." After Ronald finished speaking, without even looking at her, he turned and went upstairs.Elizabeth looked at the address on the envelope, then looked at the key in her hand, and sighed in her heart.Not surprisingly, there was no wa
Ronald raised his head and glanced at the black corridor in front of him.This type of old apartment was cheap and didn't have an elevator. They had to walk."Lead the way." Ronald said coldly.Elizabeth felt that she was a little out of breath climbing up, but on the other hand, she saw Ronald carrying a heavy load on his back did not change his expression at all.He was so healthy that it made people jealous and envious!Elizabeth thought angrily as she took out her key to open the door.Ronald wanted to help Alondra into the house, but Elizabeth stopped him. "Mr. Marquez, thank you. We can't serve Mr. Marquez anything. Good bye."After saying that, Elizabeth without even looking at Ronald's face, directly dragged Alondra into the house, and slammed the door shut.Destroy the bridge after crossing the river?This heartless little woman. Ronald smiled helplessly.Looking around, he frowned.Such a poor env
