I'm wearing Liam's shirt right now and it is still dripping with water.
I couldn't change back to my dress because he dumped it in the lake earlier.
I'm not sure what went through his mind when he decided to throw my dress into the lake, and he then ordered the guard to fetch it from the water.
Doesn't it sound crazy?
We've arrived in front of the manor, but the water on my polo shirt is still dripping with water which made me feel so uncomfortable. I also didn't wear my sandals so I can walk properly and held them in my right hand while squeezing the water out of my hair with my other hand.
The staff moved toward us and wrapped us in a towel to dry ourselves.
Thank god, I was about to die in cold because of what I am wearing. I could no longer even feel my exposed thigh and I don't have anything aside from my wet underwear.
I'm drying my damp face with a towel when I notice Blade approaching the two of us out of the corner of
"Mrs. Harrison, mom!" I greeted Liam's mother with wide grins on my lips and both hands extended for a hug. She quickened her pace as she gets closer to me. I move forward a little bit to approach her. As soon as she reached me, I felt a hand slapped me in the face and my sweet and phony grins were left in the air. The sound of her hand hit my face rumbled around the area. My lips trembled as I bring my eyes back to her."M-Ma'am..." I couldn't believe how warmly she welcomed me as I returned. Was I under the illusion that she was the one who was most concerned about my absence? "How dare you show your face in here!" I saw Blade walk towards us to save me, but I warned him with my eyes not to come closer and let him know that I'm fine. I rubbed my cheek as I felt a little sting because of her slap. I wasn't expecting it to be this way. I know I shouldn't expect to have any allies in this house other
[THIRD-PERSON POV] Noah soon called Crystal after hearing from Blade what had happened. "Just wait for me there and I'll fetch you back home. I know you planned a lot for that and poured all your time and effort, but I really can't be at ease thinking that you're in the hands of those filthy people. You have been there for not even a day, and I already feel like my head will explode in too much worries for you." Noah whined in anguish from the other line. Crystal shut her eyes tightly in utter annoyance at what Blade had done. The situation instantly reached Noah that after she got dressed, he already called her filled with panic and concerns. Crystal took a deep sigh before answering the excessively anxious Noah on the other line to calm herself. "Noah, whatever you heard from Blade— just forget it. I'm not really hurt, and Mrs. Spencer might be completely confused about everything that's happening. Even when Maddison pushed me, it doesn't hu
Crystal and Liam headed to the vineyard and winery 'Vores Morgen'. It is one of the most valued enterprises in the Spencer family, especially because it was founded by Liam's father, Frank Spencer. This vineyard supplies grapes to many countries for use in their wine, and they provide and export it all over the world. Vores Morgen, on the other hand, is more than just a vineyard; it also has its own winery. A vineyard is an area where grapes are widely cultivated to be transported to wineries, whereas a winery is a place where wines are made. A bottle of one of the world's most costly wines is out of reach for the majority of people. Frank Spencer established a reputation for himself in the business world when he was a young man. Since then, the Spencers have become well-known in the energy and power industries. But fresh-faced Frank Spencer didn't stop there, and he made it his mission to make a name for himself. And it was then that he developed Den
“Mr. Spencer, this is a really widespread issue. The loss of our suppliers will be substantially lessened if we do not continue to deal with the Villareals. We cannot obtain machines other than theirs to speed up the production and processing of our vines, and their transportation is important for us to distribute our products worldwide.” Liam is now seated in the chair with his head buried in his hands, in deep thought as the head manager, Mr. Leo, spoke. “This is why we should never let them slip away.” Liam’s fingers were resting on the bridge of his nose. Neither of them realizes that Crystal is silently listening to their chat from the outside of the office. “So then, what are the board's suggestions? Don't cut our ties with the Villareals?” The tone of Liam's voice was characterized by hatred. It was only w
[Crystal] I hesitantly accepted Liam's hand. I watched our hands as he slid his fingers between mine and locked them with each other. He grabbed it tightly and pulled me away from where I was standing the moment he had it. My confusion arose from a conversation I overheard them having earlier in the office. My confusion stemmed from the conversation I heard they had at the office earlier. It's difficult to put together and understand the information I've gathered. The only thing I know is that this place is in trouble due to their loss of connections with the Villareals. But doesn't Liam own stock in their company? He won from Eureka in exchange for using me. It's what they're talking about on the wedding day, isn't it? And about the search for Huxley’s son that they mentioned. Who are they, and why do they need to look for their son? Liam also seemed very serious, so it's possible that this isn't a minor problem. I'd like to l
We're in the car now, driving back to Liam's place. After seeing what I saw on Vores Morgen, I couldn't understand why he suddenly wanted us to come back home. Even if Liam tells me a few more times that what I saw was a mistake and that I was just weary, I knew deep down that it is all real. I saw it with both my eyes open, so I can't just dismiss what I have seen; I knew Mrs. Spencer, and she always wore a wide hat. And earlier, I noticed the woman was dressed in the same hat, white dress, and white gloves on her hand that she normally wears. Even if everyone tells me I'm going insane, I know what I have seen, and it won't just vanish from my mind. I noticed an odd wall surrounded by plants that had already crawled on it when Liam and I were strolling. It drew my attention since it is so vivid and impossible to ignore, so I marveled at it. On either side of it, there are two enormous dragon heads, one gold, and the other is silver-white. However, the crimso
As soon as we got inside Den Lille Fede, I couldn't help but be utterly amazed by how it looked inside. The entire area seems to be covered in gold and expensive wooden designs. The interior designs of the entire restaurant are truly world-class. The bright warm white fluorescent lights add to the exquisite ambiance of the place. I watched the people that eat inside the restaurant and started to notice they were in a high state of life. Stylish, elegant suits and dresses can be seen in their attire. Each movement, regardless of whether a woman or a man, is graceful. With their very modest actions, it seemed as though there wasn't much noise within the restaurant and the people eating inside were all just harmonious. Unlike the fast-food restaurants where I usually eat, the combined voices of individuals ordering and conversing are extremely loud. However, in this place, classical music reflect
I can't help but be worried when our orders arrive. I was just sitting here watching this guy place our orders on the table. It's frightening to eat at a high-priced restaurant and then realize you won't be able to afford to pay. If only I just accepted the credit card that Noah gave me that was linked to him, then I don't have to go suffer like this. I took a quick look at the steak in front of Liam, who was already placed. Gosh, seriously? Is that what you can get for a large sum of money? Even when I use my hand to eat, that's only three mouthfuls for me. My attention was drawn to the dish in front of me. What's this? “Why do
“Is she still locked up in her room?” “Yes, dad. Since we got back, Crystal hasn't come out.” Blade stated. “I overheard Amara sobbing.” She pretended to be tough. But the truth is, she was deeply upset by what the other people had to say. If she'd just let me present her to the general public, that would be good. My daughter isn't a gold digger. She's a goddamn Dawson!” he yelled, his rage palpable across the room. “— and how come her husband is nowhere to be found? Is he not planning on visiting his wife?” “It's possible he's still in the manor, father.” When Crystal came down the stairs with a suitcase, the two of them came to a halt in their conversation. Blade leaped to his feet and offered to assist he
[Crystal] I didn't seem to have a good dream last night. I dreamed of water and I believe it was a bad omen. I immediately get out of bed after resting for a bit. Fortunately, my morning sickness was not that bad. Such a well-mannered child for not torturing its mother. I plan to go to a doctor today for a check-up and to know the gender of my baby. I think I can ask Liam to go with me. It is the reason why I am so excited that I wake up so early. Whatever the gender of this child will be, I will accept it wholeheartedly and support my child. My hand slightly raised and rubbed my belly. I promise to protect and take care of you, my baby.
[Crystal] Today is the day when Liam plans to tell his family about our child. When we got back from Khun Wanida resort, everything went well and there were no problems. Dad continues to help Blade and Maddison. I can hardly talk to Blade and them every time they are at home. I chose to stay at my father's house. I don't want to cram myself into Spencer's manor. Also, I am more comfortable with it. So far the investigation into the search for their son Blade is ongoing. However, they still do not have information because Maddison's father, Mr. Butler, does not come out of the manor, which i
“I know how important my return is to you. Especially and I saw firsthand with my own eyes how much you missed me during the times I was missing. But, I hope you also understand my decision not to let the public know. It is also for the safety of our future child. I don’t want the time to come to confuse him with the various articles he finds on the internet, or with what people have to say. It is enough for me that you and Noah know that I am still alive and that I have come back to you that I have lost my family. So, I hope you understand me. ” I sincerely muttered while not taking my eyes off my father. “I also don't want to bring up what happened in the past. I don't want to mention my mother here, and especially the events of the past that she wants to forget. ” Mr. was stunned for a moment. Dawson before a smile flash
When Crystal entered the room reserved for them by Maddison she saw that Blade was still inside and they seemed to be talking about something. Crystal didn't hear what they were talking about because they became silent once she got inside as well. Before Blade came out, Crystal followed him with sharp glances. Blade didn't look at Crystal and looked just straight at him until he got out of the door. Silence narrowly enveloped the inner of the room after Blade came out. Both Maddison and Crystal are skeptical of the moves they will make. Crystal was about to step forward to look at the suitcase; she didn't know what the only clothes were when Maddison suddenly blurted out.
[THIRD-PERSON POV] Along the way, Crystal could no longer resist her drowsiness. This is also because she is pregnant. Because she needs more sleep now compared to when she is not yet carrying a baby in her womb. Maddison was just staring out the window and seemed to be deep in thought, as were Blade and Liam. Not even one of them intended to speak. As a result, silence enveloped them. Crystal's father, Mr. Dawson let out a series of sighs as he looked back and forth at the three. One reason he plans on vacation is to have time with Crystal, especially now that she knows who she really is. But, another reason he does this is he wants to have peace between Blade, Maddison, and Liam.
“Where are we going, Blade?” I asked him but he didn't seem to have any plans to tell me. After he conveyed to me earlier the problem he and Maddison were facing, as well as the help Noah had promised, his phone suddenly rang and he received a call. After Blade answered it, he suddenly told me to get in the car, and seemed to be in a hurry to leave. I can't understand what's going on. When I asked Blade who called, he told me it was Mr. Dawson phoned and told both of us to go to a certain location. Which Blade doesn't tell me. He just shut his mouth and didn't utter any words. &nb
[Crystal] "What do you mean you didn't take Noah home with you to Denmark?" I was shocked at the tone of Blade's voice. It sounds disgusting and seems furious at me. His eyes are full of desperation and I can feel his sadness. Maybe he's really mad at me, “I-I can’t push him to go b-back here, Blade. Noah decided to stay in New Jersey for a few more days.” I defended myself honestly. “He wants to fix his relationship with Trina before he comes back here again. And I don’t know how many more days it will take before that thing happens. I’m not sure what will happen there. Now, Noah is anxious, he can't talk because of the quarrel between him and Trina. I could have done nothing but agree as he wished no
[THIRD PERSON-POV] “Are you sure that they would help us?” Maddison whispered to Blade, trying to lower her voice for fear that someone would hear her. “Don’t worry. They are my friends. I am certain that they would do everything to help us. But—” Blade took a long pause before he continued. “The only thing that they might never give you, is to take Liam away from Crystal. She is pregnant with Liam's child, and even if I am swearing him to death, I would never want to take away the father of the innocent child.” Maddison seemed saddened by that fact. Not because of how he felt about Liam, but because of how her father would react. “We will do everything to find our son. Just trust me, Maddi. They are coming back to Denmark
