“What are you doing back here?” Rose felt her voice tremble.Josephine said, “I’m here to settle something from the past.”Rose immediately grew silent.Josephine pushed open the car door and stepped onto the muddy road. Then, she slowly walked toward the ruins in front.Rose looked at her tragic figure, her eyes flashing red.Loving someone when one was young was indeed a courageous thing. It was a fatal attraction. Yet even if one was fully aware of the outcome, one would still get absorbed by it.The final ending always turned out to be so bleak.Josephine loved Zayne. If that love was a tad bit duller and if her love for him was not that strong, or perhaps, Josephine did not go a thousand miles to chase after her love, she would not have been bullied and humiliated by others. She would not be left behind with this sad color of melancholy in her heart. Perhaps, Josephine would still be lucky enough to get her redemption.As for her, she loved Jay. If the accident had not hap
Josephine was so nervous that she tightly squeezed the electric self-defense baton. Her pupils were locked on the man. The man flew up suddenly with a speed as fast as electricity waves.Rose bore through his underside, but she was startled as she realized that things were far from good.“Josephine, go quickly." Rose wanted to protect Josephine no matter what.Josephine stepped forward and exclaimed, "How can I leave you here?""Josephine, listen. My life was just something I picked up anyway. Your brother could care less about this life of mine, and I was relieved when I died. But you’re different… You’re still young and you’re not even married yet!" Josephine cried out, "How can you treat your life so lightly? My brother might not cherish it, but I do. Worst comes to worst, I’ll spend my next life with you."Rose’s eyes were red. "Josephine, I’ve been wanting to understand the truth these days. Maybe God allowed me to live again so that I could see your brother’s true face c
At one o'clock in the morning.Rose had returned to Garden Of A Diary.Gently opening the door, she entered the house and shuffled upstairs.She tried not to have herself make a single noise! It was just that as she went upstairs, she had accidentally kicked the row of decorative grass which was erected next to the handrails on the floor.It made a small sound.At almost the same time, the row of bright ceiling lights on the second floor came on.Jay stood at the top of the stairs, frowning. He only slightly relaxed after seeing Rose.“Sir… Sir Ares!" Rose was frozen in place, stammering, "Sorry, did I disturb your sleep?" "I haven't slept yet," he said.Upon hearing his answer, she was slightly surprised. Jay's work and rest system was rigid. If there were no weddings or funerals, then these few hours would essentially be an immovable time of rest. She slowly walked up, raised her small head, and looked at him. He seemed to be in a good mood, judging from the slightly ra
Rose held his gaze and said with a shy expression, "You’ve misunderstood. I wasn’t bullied by him!""I want to check!" His voice was domineering."How are you going to check?" Rose wondered.Almost immediately, Jay leaned down...She was suddenly depressed.She knew this guy would take advantage of her by making excuses. How hateful!That night, Rose went through mental torture and physical ruin. Driven by panic, she fell asleep unconsciously. She slept till late morning the next day until she woke up naturally.Rose had just opened her eyes and regained consciousness, then she sat up almost immediately.Taking in the fresh air, she sighed with great joy. "I'm still alive!"Jay looked at her leisurely. "Are you so very happy?"Suddenly aware that there was someone next to her, she restrained her expression of ecstasy. She said something humble, "Sir Ares, you’re awake!"Jay pulled her into his arms. "Join me for a little more sleep.""Aren’t you going to work?""Today's
Josephine turned to Jay once again. "Big Brother, why’d you hang up my call?" "Isn't it annoying for one’s sleep to be disturbed so early in the morning?" Jay's tone still contained a hint of unhappiness after being disturbed.Josephine, "..." "Big Brother, it's already late in the morning. Is it still considered early?" "Don’t you understand marital bliss?" Her brother’s expression was dark.Josephine’s elegant face twitched. "Got it. I'll pay attention next time."“What are you doing here again?" His attitude remained cold. Josephine felt that her elder brother was treating her unfairly, so she sniffed sadly. "I'm here to see you guys.""Since you’ve seen us now, can you go back?" Jay was not in a good mood when in front of this woman who had not explained sincerely.Josephine immediately took Rose's arm and asked, "Big Brother, can I take Sister-in-law out to hang out?""No." The refusal was decisive."Why?" Josephine and Rose protested in unison."I'm afraid you’ll
Jay glanced at Rose who was silent on the side, his voice becoming inexplicably warmer. "She’ll have me to take care of her if she becomes disabled."Josephine, "..."Rose, "......"What kind of logic was this? "You’re being partial," Josephine muttered.Jay held Rose's hand in front of Josephine and said, "It’s my duty to love her."Josephine rolled her eyes a few times, picked up her plate of food, and walked out. "I can't stand this."Rose pulled her hand away and murmured with dissatisfaction, "Sir Ares, Josephine just fell out of love. We’ll hurt her if we put on this show in front of her."“Are we putting on a show?" He raised his eyebrows, questioning her.He had been so serious about marrying her, yet she thought it was an act?“Aren’t we?" Rose asked.As he took a bite of the scone, the expression on his handsome face was darker than the bottom of a pan.Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Rose, who had initially wanted to open her mouth to request to leave, did not
Rose took Josephine's hand and said with a smile, "Sir Ares, ladies first."At this, Jay’s handsome face froze.He had been repeatedly abandoned by his newlywed wife and his all the while proud heart could not avoid the serious damage."Go ahead." He pretended to be magnanimous.Josephine and Rose left happily.Jay watched their retreating back as his eyes sunk.The surrounding scenery of Garden Of A Diary during winter was a little bleak. Those ginkgo trees, lush and verdant during spring and summer, were swaying in the wind at this moment. The golden ginkgo leaves were spread thickly on the ground while the bare trunks looked like fangs and claws.Only those blue jacaranda trees were as green as before, upright as a mountain but extremely lonely and bleak.Jay was a little regretful. If he had known that the garden would be so bleak in winter, he would have planted evergreen plants instead.The garden without its mistress seemed even more deserted.Jay wandered around the c
"If your wife isn’t home-loving, it may be that she’s young and her childlike innocence likes to play. Maybe her mind is not in this home. To be precise, she doesn't love you enough."Jay asked, "Then, what should I do to make her like this home?""Women are actually very contentious. If you treat her well, she’ll become proud as a result of being pampered. Appropriately giving her some sense of crisis can not only test her sincerity toward you but also make her reflect on her conduct and deeds so that she can become a qualified wife." Jay listened very carefully.......In the evening, Rose dragged her exhausted body back to the Garden Of A Diary. During the day, Josephine had taken her to Tourmaline Estate, but unfortunately, the gate of Fragrant Vessel Court was tightly locked and the surrounding defense measures were also sealed very tightly that even an ant might not be able to climb in.They went in high spirits but returned in disappointment!Rose pushed the door to
