Angeline pulled his hands over without warning and placed them on the piano keys in front of her. Then, she covered his fingers with her tiny hands and pressed hard on the keys, producing a heart-rendering tune.Angeline sang The Soul Of The Sun Never Sets for him.He had written the lyrics of this song when he founded Grand Asia back then to encourage himself when he was at the peak of glory.‘When I was young, I broke through brambles and thorns,‘Sailed thousands of miles,‘Just to take you to the peak of glory,‘and return with a young heart.’A wave of emotions surged through Jay as he listened to this song. All he could think of at this moment was the absurdity of his negative perceptions earlier.He was worried and in distress because he was not strong enough.If he could just be like the young man in the song and overcome all obstacles, be all-powerful, and realize his grand ambitions, he would then be happy.Angeline said with a smile, "If you sing this song yourself
Baby Zetty poked her tiny head in and chirped with a bright smile on her face. "Mr. Ben, Mommy wants me to tell you that, no matter how good a book is, you still need to take care of your stomach. It's time for lunch. "Jay stood up, and only then did he feel ravenous. Even so, it was still considered rude for him to have a meal in his employer’s place.Just as he was hesitating on how to excuse himself, Baby Zetty ran over and pulled Jay to the dining table downstairs by force."You must stay and eat with me today, Mr. Ben."Angeline pleaded with him, "Please stay."When Jay looked at the mouth-watering dishes, his appetite was aroused. "Thank you for your hospitality. It’ll be too disrespectful for me to decline your invitation."He took his seat next to Angeline.During the meal, due to the condition of Angeline’s eyes, he very gentlemanly put food on her plate and even asked her in a considerate tone, "What do you like to eat?"Angeline replied, "I'm not a picky eater."Sh
Apart from not being able to sleep in the same room as her, Ben was practically flawless.In comparison, the man in front of her went dining, wining, whoring, and gambling. Whenever he lost money, he would beat her up. She must have been blind back then to marry him."Why did you come back?" she asked coldly.Like pliers, the man squeezed her chin with his hands and said viciously, "Are you avoiding me because I’ve been to jail, Marilyn?”Furious, the man pushed her onto the courtyard wall and pressed his body against hers roughly. "Tell me, are you in love with that wild man you picked up?"When Marilyn made no reply, the man rolled up her skirt in anger.Marilyn hissed. “Are you crazy? Do you know where this is? How dare you—”"I’m doing this with my woman, is there a problem?”When the unspeakable act ended, Marilyn slumped on his body.The man squeezed her fair and tender face with satisfaction. "Marilyn, you’ll be mine and mine alone. I don't care if you have feelings for
Resentment filled Marilyn's eyes. That b*stard did not even save her a single cent.How did he expect she and Ben to survive if they did not have any money?Even so, Jay remained calm and relaxed. In a mild tone, he said, "Next time, remember to report the lost card as soon as you realize it.”Marilyn nodded. "Mm."At this time, Tiger stroked his belly and began to cry out. “Mommy, I’m hungry.”Marilyn was ridden with guilt after losing the card. At the sound of her son’s cries, she patted his head irritably and said, “Bear with it.”It was only then did Jay realize that they had not eaten anything yet.He got up and walked to the kitchen, fighting back the nauseating feeling when he saw the oil and grease on the kitchen stove. He fixed a bowl of soup for them.Marilyn stared at Jay’s charming and dreamy back as he moved back and forth in the kitchen, her eyes filled with infatuation.Whether in appearance or character, this man was simply the best in the world.Since God had
When Jay came out of the shower, he found Marilyn sitting on his bed.Startled, Jay slowly furrowed his brows.Marilyn patted the empty bed and called out softly. "I get it now, darling. Since we’re husband and wife, I won’t complain about your illness when you’re sick. I’ll sleep next to you every day from now on, and maybe someday, you’ll get used to this physical intimacy and your illness will heal even without any medication.”When Jay’s gaze fell on Marilyn’s swarthy arms, his stomach started churning uncontrollably. He endured the pain with a frown and shuffled over.Marilyn embraced him tightly. She called out in a soft and mushy voice as if her entire body was being burned by a blazing fire."I feel so uncomfortable, darling," She seduced him in a mellow and sultry voice.Jay remained silent as he tried to endure the increasingly sickening feeling in his stomach.Eventually, he pulled her hands away without any mercy. "You know I can’t, Marilyn, so why are you doing th
Was it his fault that the bunch of bad apples in the company insisted on stirring up havoc?Zayne stepped forward and reported, "Your Highness, I found out about something that’s quite trivial.”Angeline waved at him. “Then don't say it."Did he think that she had all the time in the world to handle trivial matters?Zayne said cheerfully, “Okay!”Grayson glared at Zayne. "How can you call that trivial when it’s something to do with him?”Zayne shrugged. "Why are you blaming me when our queen doesn’t want to listen to it?”Realizing that Zayne was about to report something unusual, Angeline said, "Let's listen to it, Zayne."Zayne stepped out with his head hanging low as he reported weakly. "Our men received news that your man is currently looking for a job at the job market center."Angeline was so furious that she grabbed the file on her desk and hurled it at Zayne, huffing and puffing. "You call this a trivial matter? This is a matter of primary importance in Grand Asia."Z
As an experienced and steely president, Yumi had imposed strict requirements for the job applicants.After flipping through all the resumes that were submitted, there was a disappointed look on her face.Then, she swept her falcon-like gaze toward the group of job applicants, ignoring each and every one of those exhausted faces.Ultimately, her gaze fell on one graceful and dashing physique. Although he was no longer the young master who was radiating with brilliance, he had never failed to amaze anyone with his coolness and indifference. A great astonishment emerged in Yumi's eyes. Slowly yet surely, it evolved into a determined smile.Yumi was the Severe’s family’s daughter-in-law. Although she rarely returned to the Severe’s residence, she had learned a secret from Sera. Jay was back, and he had lost his memory too.In order to protect Jay, Angeline was rigorous in keeping his identity a secret.Yumi was not a good and virtuous person. Besides, she was still brooding over Gr
Unexpectedly, after several years of girding up her loins, Angeline, who had been in a position of power and influence for so long, actually carried such a sharp edge."Trying to steal applicants from me, Ms. Severe? I’m sorry, but you’re one step late." Yumi laughed.She had never regarded Angeline as her sister-in-law.Although Yumi was Angeline's sister-in-law, she would never take on this obligation.Angeline blurted in a domineering manner, “It’s also possible to scrap a contract after it’s signed!"Yumi stared at Jay. "Make sure you take a look at the consequences of breaching the contract before you decide whether you want to breach it or not."Jay did not care about the consequences of breaching the contract, though what he did not like was how Angeline was behaving like a vanquisher."What are you trying to do?" he questioned her furiously.When Angeline turned to look at him, the frost on her face dissipated completely. She said with a smile, "Her tiny company doesn’t
