”Since my mission is done, I’m leaving!” Frank patted Melanie on the shoulder. He walked calmly in Nathaniel’s direction, not caring much about the angry man blocking his exit. “Stop!” In anger, Nathaniel grabbed Frank’s arm and gritted his teeth. “You think you can just leave?” “What about it?” Frank smirked wickedly. At first, Nathaniel was still trying to hold in his rage because of Frank’s social status, as he could not afford to be rash. However, when he heard what Frank had to say, his anger erupted, and he punched Frank in the face, yelling, "You b*stard!" It was a solid punch, but it did not aggravate Frank at all. He fell back, and as he regained his balance, he touched the corner of his lips and saw blood. “I’ll let you off on behalf of Ms. Neville, but if you dare throw another punch, I won’t let you off that easily.” “Who needs it?” Frank's words easily set Nathaniel off, and since he had already hit him once, he might as well go all out. Nathaniel
”Let her go!” Nathaniel’s face turned ugly.“There’s no need to be so serious!” Frank wanted to challenge him. He got closer to Melanie’s face and tried to kiss her.When Nathaniel saw this, he could no longer hold back and rushed forward to fight Frank again.However, Melanie grabbed him. “Enough! Do you want to create a stir for the guard to come and let everyone else know what happened here, Nate?!”Melanie sounded virtuous as if she had not engaged in indecent behavior earlier. Still, her remarks caused Nathaniel to halt what he was doing. He would be embarrassed if others knew about this.“Get out! Get out of here!” He pointed a finger outside. Melanie gestured at Frank but did not move. Frank remained in the same spot, appearing not to take it seriously. Despite his smile, his eyes betrayed his contempt.Melanie frowned and continued gesturing at him with her eyes. She was anxious as she might be unable to control Nathaniel’s temper if Frank stayed longer. Frank shrugged
Nathaniel hatefully slammed his fist on the steering wheel. He felt nauseous, wanted to vomit, was dizzy, and lost control of the car. The car swerved as if a drunkard was driving on the empty road. After some sharp screeches sounded, the car uncontrollably rushed to the side.Crash!The car hit a tree heavily before coming to a stop. Nathaniel was bleeding as he wounded his head.…Lily felt very comfortable when she woke up the following morning. She did not have any headaches or hangovers. It looked like the hangover soup Alexander learned in a hurry was exceptionally helpful.She could smell breakfast coming from downstairs. She put on her slippers before going downstairs and saw Alexander serving breakfast in an apron. It was a beautiful morning!She hurried downstairs and hugged Alexander from behind as she gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek, “Good morning!” Alexander laughed happily and turned to kiss her back in return, “Come sit down and have some breakfast.”Plenty of
“Yes.” Edward nodded in reply.“Thank you!” Lily thanked him sincerely. However, this caused Alexander to feel jealous again, “You only thank him? What about me?”“I don’t need to be so polite with you!” Before Alexander could speak further, Lily added, “Hey, you were the one who said that.”‘It seems I’ve stepped on my own trap,’ Alexander thought.Edward looked at his boss in surprise when he saw Alexander stammering, unable to refute. ‘It seems that only my boss’s wife can make him feel so helpless.’“I might be late today. Call me if you have any problems,” Alexander said while putting on his coat.“Okay!” Lily tip-toed to help him adjust his shirt’s collar. She suddenly remembered the upcoming trip, “Oh right, you mentioned going on vacation earlier. Do you have a destination in mind? Or have you already decided where to go?”“Not yet. Why?”“It’s nothing. Liv has a few recommendations. Since you’re busy and have not decided on a place, why don’t the girls and I decide it
“Thanks, Liv!”“There’s no need to thank me since it’s what I ought to do. Still, I never expected you to already live with the boss. That was quick.” Olivia was tidying her house and carrying a stack of clothes. She pinned her phone to her ear with her shoulder as her head slanted to one side. Olivia’s voice sounded broken.“Oh, hey!” Lily wondered if Olivia would be shocked and faint if she found out Lily and Alexander had already registered their marriage. In fact, they registered a long time ago.“Lily, I’m not criticizing you, but I’m going to say something that might not sound good. Although the boss is not bad and very attractive, you must be careful. I’m not saying he’s not good, just that he’s too good. Do you understand?”Olivia knew what she had to say was unpleasant, but she decided it was necessary.From her point of view, Lily was good at everything, just that she was a little dumb when it came to love. Previously when she was with Nathaniel, she blindly contributed
Nathaniel felt like his head was about to explode, especially his forehead. His eyelids hurt like crazy when he tried opening his eyes. Moreover, he could only make small movements.When Nathaniel woke up, he felt his head was about to explode.Not only did his head hurt, but his chest did too. There was not a spot on his body that did not hurt. He tried to move his hands and legs but discovered that everything below his thighs was numb. He could not feel a thing at all.He opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. All he saw were patches of white, which scared him. When he saw the hanging bottle by his side, it scared him further. He could still make some faint noise but could not find out where he was—even turning his head hurt.His memories started returning, and he remembered going to the lab to find Mel. There he saw… Next, he drove out and got into an accident.‘That’s right! I was in an accident! A-Am I still alive? Why can’t I feel anything in my legs?!’Nathaniel pa
Melanie could tell what Nathaniel was about to do. She quickly went forward and helped him lift his blanket as she massaged his calves. "Look! Your legs weren't amputated! You're fine, so don't worry too much. Trust me!""Trust you?" Nathaniel glanced at her sideways and scoffed, "I trusted you too much!"Melanie did not know what to say. She just sighed and tucked the blanket for him before standing straight. "I know you hate me now so much that you want to kill me, but I didn't lie to you. Nate, I did what I had to for our future! Still, I know it hurts you, so do whatever you want to me, be it punching me or cursing me. I'll take it all, but you must stay calm now and not hurt yourself! Can you do that?"Her voice was gentle as usual, while remorse and concern were written all over her face. Nathaniel refused to speak to her. His expression was still dark, but he did not ask her to leave anymore."Do you know how painful it was for me when I heard you got into an accident? I w
"Are you sure the formula is good to go?" Nathaniel said weakly. His voice was hoarse, and when he spoke, his throat hurt.Although he still had not looked in Melanie’s direction, this was enough for her because it meant he was willing to compromise."Yeah. We went there last night to test out the formula. To be safe, we avoided the rest, so we…" she tried to explain herself.However, her explanation sounded shrill to his ears. He had been trying to forget, but as soon she mentioned the words “last night” and “we,” the scene flashed across his mind again, provoking his every nerve and making his blood boil.He took a few deep breaths and curled his hands into fists, saying through gritted teeth, "Don't mention last night's incident to me again!"Melanie stopped talking and sat down by his bed. Looking at the side of his face, she said, "I didn't want to hurt you this way, but I'll make things clear to you since you found out about it. Yes, I was wrong, but you cannot deny that you
