After taking a few steps, Lucas Hayes stopped.
'Forget it, it's just an unknown woman, there's no need to continue to pay attention to her. It's waste time!' he thought. He followed his assistant out of the room. All along, Vanessa had been focusing all her attention on the computer screen, completely unaware that Lucas had come to that restaurant. After she finished working on the computer she ordered another set of dishes for herself, all of which she liked. When Becky arrived at this restaurant, she was completely stunned when she looked at the large table of dishes. In order to control her figure, Vanessa was very picky with food. She wanted to remain slim so that she could be attractive to Lucas Hayes long ago. She could never eat fatty foods and junk foods. In the past, Vanessa could eat healthy foods, including vegetables, fBecky had realized how much Vanessa had changed, but she still felt that a person's appearance was easy to change, but personality preferences were not. She still regarded a Vanessa as the girl who once needed to be protected by her. Becky took Vanessa's hand into hers,then you have to go with me to my house tonight, we haven't seen each other for so long, I need to have a good chat with you." She wanted to spent some more time with her, but in addition she was actually worried that Vanessa had no place to go. She knew that Vanessa and Lucas were divorced. When the Moore's family learnt that she divorced Lucas, they broke off their relationship with Vanessa. Vanessa had no other place to go in the city unless she decided to stay in a hotel. Of course, Vanessa knew the situation she was in , so she nodded her head in agreement. Vanessa thought about som
It was already morning, and Alex was still sleeping peacefully. He felt his blanket slipping away and pulled it back up tiredly. "Wake up, Daddy," he heard the voice, and his blanket was pulled again. "Arghh... Aaron," Alex groaned in his sleep. "Wake up, sleepy head," Aaron disturbed his dad. “Did you call me sleepy head?” Alex lifted him onto the bed and tickled him, he laughed uncontrollably. Aaron was the baby Alex had saved three years ago, after calling his friend Blake, who came down to the country with experts and different machines, and they were able to save the child's life. Aaron had grown into a very cute and smart little boy. His words were already clear, like those of a five-year-old. He had curly brown hair and deep blue eyes, just like his father. Alex adored his son, protecting and caring for him to the best of his abilities. Raising Aaron was a challenge for Alex. When he was first brought home, Alex hired two professional nurses and a nanny just to ensure he
Vanessa and Becky were at Becky's house, where the birthday girl was stressing nonstop about her party. She had called the event planner over a hundred times, ensuring everything was perfect. She wanted her party to be the talk of the town. "Calm your nerves, birthday girl, your party will be great. Why are you anxious?" Vanessa asked, finally taking the phone from Becky. "I'm Becky Miller, I have to prove that to everyone with this party. Do you know the governor is coming? My guest list is fire," Becky squeaked happily, and Vanessa laughed. The Millers were influential, and people of their caliber would definitely attend the party. "Just don't kill yourself with excitement before tonight," Vanessa teased. Becky suddenly fell quiet, looking at her friend with sad eyes. "Vanessa, you know you don't have to come if you don't want to, right?" Becky didn't want her friend to break down after seeing her ex-h
Vanessa took her time getting dressed, instructing her hairstylist and makeup artist to create a simple yet elegant look. Her nails were done an hour ago, and were a perfect combination of simplicity and class. She wore a stunning black armless gown designed with gold stones and paired with exquisite jewelry from her own brand. The latest, unreleased collection, designed with real gold and tiny diamond stones, added a touch of confidence and elegance to her overall appearance. As she checked herself in the mirror, she felt satisfied with her reflection. Her makeup highlighted her features, making her look more elegant, while her curled hair poured downwards in soft, wavy locks. "Good job," she praised her stylists, rewarding them with extra payment for understanding her instructions. With the clock striking 8 pm, Vanessa knew it was time to leave. Becky had departed earlier with her boyfriend to a hot
Alex and Vanessa chatted about light topics, they both had many questions for each other but were aware that this wasn't the right place. Vanessa's phone rang, and she excused herself to take the call from a business associate in Italy. "Yes? Mr. Desmond." A few minutes later, Lucas Hayes stepped out, feeling suffocated by Eliana's clinginess. Her clinginess was beginning to become annoying to him. He didn’t intend to bring her to the banquet, he wanted to be free to meet new and more attractive women. But she insisted and even reported to his mom before he agreed. As he breathed in, attempting to lighten his mood, his gaze fell upon a stunning woman in the distance. She was on a call, and he could only see half of her face, but her physique left him captivated. "Damn! So hot," he muttered, almost licking his lips. He looked around scanning his surroundings to ensure Eliana wasn't nearby. He smiled and
Two days had passed since Becky's birthday, and Vanessa had found a good house through the company Becky recommended. The two-story building contained four bedrooms, a gym, pool, and garden. She adored its elegance and standard. With the help of an interior designer, she transformed the house to fit her taste. She woke up that morning craving chicken tacos and milkshake. She had packed her bags and planned on leaving Becky’s house in the evening. She freshened up and dressed casually. Wearing jeans, a luxurious top, a cross bag, and comfortable sneakers, she looked youthful with her hair tied up in a ponytail. She walked down the stairs in a good mood. "Where are you going?" Becky asked, sipping her coffee. "Going out for tacos," Vanessa replied with a wave. "You're so cruel, going out to eat without me," Becky complained, but Vanessa just kissed
It was finally time for Vanessa to move into her new house. Becky, eager to help her friend settle in, decided to lend a hand. She planned on spending the night at her friend’s new house.They packed Vanessa's bags into the car and set off. Using Google Maps, they arrived at the address and were greeted by a real estate agent waiting at the gate with a key. "It looks better than in pictures," Becky exclaimed, admiring the compound.As they entered the building, they were struck by the beautiful interior. The classic vibe of the curtains and cushions, combined with the stunning artwork in the living room, left Becky speechless. The staircase leading to the bedrooms and library seemed like it belonged in a palace."You could do a full photoshoot here!" Becky exclaimed, loving the aesthetic.Vanessa left to inspect the master bedroom, while Becky and the agent carried the remaining bags upstairs. Vanessa was thrilled wit
Becky was still fuming as they loaded their purchases into the car. "That girl's got some real nerves," she muttered. Vanessa almost laughed, warmed by her friend's defense. "Why are you so pissed?" Becky's expression darkened. "Seeing her face alone just made me angry, and those dumb words that spewed out of her mouth... gosh!" Vanessa smiled, "Just let it go, okay? She's not worth it." Becky acknowledged, "I'm so happy you've gotten over the two of them. I'm so proud of you." Vanessa lightened the mood. "That phase of my life is gone for good. Let's stop talking about them and go home to have some fun." Becky beamed happily. "Yes, let's rock that crazy pool by ourselves!" They arrived home late at night, but it was the perfect time for their fun. After arranging the groceries and loading the refrigerator with drinks, they ordered pizza and picked two bottles of red wine. They changed into hot bikinis and headed to the poolside. "I feel so good!" Becky screamed, swimm
Alex held the door open for Vanessa, and she smiled, "Thank you." She thought to herself, He's such a gentleman, his wife is so lucky."I'm sorry I didn't get to meet your wife before leaving," Vanessa said, smiling. "I would've loved to see the woman who has such a lovely boy. I'm so jealous of her." Her heart felt a pang of emptiness at leaving Aaron, but she knew he belonged to someone else.Alex's jaw clenched, and his expression hardened. Vanessa noticed and wondered if she had said something wrong."I'm not married, and Aaron doesn't have a mother," he replied, his voice firm.Vanessa felt a surge of regret. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry." She wondered what had happened to his wife. Had she divorced him or passed away? She couldn't imagine any woman in her right mind leaving Alex and Aaron.As they drove, Vanessa told Alex her address and they used the google map.The drive took barely ten minutes, and Alex was surprised by the proximity."You live so close?" he asked, tu
Alex was already having breakfast with Aaron. Lorraine had prepared mashed potatoes with scrambled eggs. "Daddy, water please," Aaron asked his dad for help when he couldn't reach the glass. "Here you go," Alex replied, assisting his son. Aaron took a few gulps and said, "Thank you." Vanessa was taken aback by the cozy scene before her. When she heard the little boy call Alex "Daddy," her confusion deepened. She pushed aside her curiosity and put on a warm smile. "Good morning," she greeted Lorraine politely, handing over the empty bowl. "Good morning, dear," Lorraine replied, beaming with satisfaction. "You must have enjoyed the soup." "Yes, I did. It was delicious. Thank you," Vanessa said. Lorraine almost corrected the misunderstanding, but she caught Alex's gaze and understood the unspoken cue. "You're welcome, darling. I'm glad you loved it." Alex gestured for Vanessa to take the empty seat beside him. "Come sit." Vanessa nodded and settled in. "Good morning,"
