As I was in Shelton's arms, I looked up and saw that there were dark circles under his bloodshot eyes. He didn't have a good rest." I couldn't help feeling a little distressed for him. I said to him, "Shelton, have a good rest today." "Okay." Holding me in his arms, Shelton went into the elevator. It wasn't until we arrived at Shelton's home that Shelton put me down. Seeing him open the door, I was about to go back to my room. However, Shelton pulled my hand and said, "Come over to my house." "Have a good rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow if there is anything." I stood there. After opening the door, Shelton didn't let go of my hand. He smiled at me and said, "The way you see it, if I don't check the injury on your leg tonight, can I sleep at ease?" Only then did I realize that... My leg had been injured by freezing just now. And I, who wasn't agile now, couldn't walk properly. But it was so late. And I didn't want to t
Originally, I thought that Shelton would ask me to go somewhere with him. However, he parked his car in front of a single building in the western city. It was a glass building. However, because it was made up of two-layered glass with a mirror with different angles in between, we couldn't see what it looked like inside the building when standing outside. Moreover, because it had snowed yesterday, there was a thin layer of snow on top of the building, making the building dreamy and beautiful. "This is..." As I stood there, I was fully attracted by the building in front of me. "Come in. Then you'll know." Shelton reached out to me. I held his hand naturally and went in with him. He pushed the door open for me. After entering the building, I saw a lot of wedding dresses in front of me. There were various dummies and models in the hall. All the models model wore various wedding dresses. At a glance, these wedding gowns weren't ord
As Shelton spoke, he went inside. As soon as he left, the designer said quietly, "Well, I thought you would leave your bank card to her." For no reason, hearing the designer's words, I felt a little embarrassed. "It turns out that previously, Shelton once said the same words to another woman and treated her the same as he does to me." "During this period, Shelton has been very nice to me and done all kinds of things for me." "If it weren't because I had fallen for Patrick whole-heartedly first, I surely would have loved Shelton with all my heart." At this moment, I actually could somewhat relate to this woman. I stepped forward and pulled Shelton, saying, "Shelton, let's get my wedding dress designed here. After all, it makes no difference wherever we go." Since Shelton had paid the bill, we might as well book a wedding dress here. Looking at me with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, the designer said, "Shelton? I find this
As Shirley spoke, she picked up a pen and wrote down a string of numbers at the corner of the paper. Then she tore it off and handed it over to me. I looked down at the paper and knew that it was her phone number. I put the note into the pocket of my pants. By the time I looked up again, Shirley had controlled the wheelchair and gone to the elevator. I followed her. As soon as we were next to the elevator, the elevator, which was supposed to be on the second floor, unexpectedly went down. "See? He can't wait any longer." As Shirley spoke, her face didn't change at all. She seemed to know what Shelton was thinking about at her fingertips. Sure enough, the elevator went up with Shelton standing inside. After the door of the elevator opened, he came out, looking somewhat gloomy. He had realized that it was a single-sided glass elevator. Walking out of the elevator and seeing that Shirley and me both standing at the door of the el
Shirley's words startled me. I didn't expect that as soon as she saw me, she would say so. Sensing that I was shocked, Shirley put the coffee cup on the table in front of me, looked at the lipstick mark on the rim of the cup, and said, "Maybe I should have told you this more tactfully. Although I don't have much contact with you, I can see that you are a kind-hearted and naive girl. You are not suitable for him." "Can... Can you tell me about what happened between you two?" After the MERS Virus incident in the hospital, I felt that Shelton did hold an important position in my heart. However, after trying the wedding dress and seeing the look in his eyes that day, I felt a little hesitant about marrying him. Shirley asked me, "Are you interested in it?" "Well, I want to know more about him." I nodded. Although Shelton spoiled me very much, I felt that he would never be as simple as Seth. Leaning on the back of her chair, Shirley gaze
"Oh." Even though his words were full of loopholes, I didn't want to expose him. Getting down to the bottom wouldn't do any good to me. Seeing that I didn't ask anything further, he asked me, "Didn't you say that you were going to do focus on the design competition with a friend of yours recently? Why did you meet her?" "We've signed up for the design competition. The competition topics will only come out two days later. So I took the time and asked Designer Shirley to meet me outside to discuss my wedding dress." I looked down and said, "After all, I won't marry somebody else in this life. Regarding the wedding dress, after thorough deliberation, I think I'd better be more discreet about it." The reason why I said so was to please Shelton. Hearing what I said, Shelton seemed to be in a better mood. That afternoon, he took me to Michael's place and discussed with Michael the case related to Gina and Jeremy. After all, there would be a trial in
Looking at Shelton, I was struggling in my heart. However, since he was here, I couldn't drive him away. Seeing that I didn't make my position clear, Shelton said, "What? You think I will disturb Glenn and you from enjoying each other's company, right?" "Of course not." I said quickly, "It's just that it will be pretty exhausting to keep him company." "I don't find staying by your side exhausting at all." Shelton reached out his hand to me, "Let's go." I hesitated for a moment before reaching out to him. We three went downstairs together. And we looked harmonious. The ones who didn't know the ins and outs surely would think that we were a happy family of three. It was already late winter. The sky was foggy today. And it snowed lightly. When we came out, there were only a few cars on the road. Looking out of the window, I could only see snowflakes falling on the car window. With six angles which were in different shapes, the snowflak
Hearing my question, instead of looking surprised, Shelton asked me, "How did you know about this?" I could tell that he had long known about this matter. But he didn't tell me. I could understand why he did so. After all, if I knew about this, it wouldn't be of any avail at all. But his question made me realize that both Ned and Shelton suspected that Patrick had contacted me. "Grandpa Cowell called me." I told him the truth. Hearing this, he, who frowned slightly, looked somewhat relaxed and nodded, saying, "It seems that the last time I got in touch with him happened one week ago. Over the past week, no one saw him. Before that, Towering High had long been in a mess." "It is because of the disappearance of AI, right?" I asked Shelton. Looking at me with melancholy in his eye, Shelton nodded and said, "That thing has a great impact on Towering High." "Then who did it? Did you figure it out?" I continued to ask. S
After the wedding, our honeymoon plan was postponed because Rosalie was too young and Patrick's legs had not yet fully recovered. I had been resting at home all along. Sometimes I would talk to Nancy about my work. It was March with spring blossoms when Rosalie was 100 days old. Early in the morning, Patrick went out as usual, and I saw him off at the door. He held my face, kissed my forehead gently, and said softly, "Pack your daily necessities this morning. We'll go to our new home this afternoon." "New home? Where is it? Why didn't you mention it before?" I was stunned. I hadn't heard anything about the new home from Patrick so far. He looked mysterious and tidied up the messy hair on my face. "You will know when we arrive in the afternoon." After that, without waiting for me to ask more questions, he glanced at his watch and hurried out. "A new home?" I thought about it carefully. After getting married to Patrick, I
Patrick and I held a wedding when Rosalie was 100 days old. Although he wanted to hold a grand banquet, I refused to do so. Mostly, I was too old to care about the formalities anymore. But I understood that it was Patrick's heart for me, and I did not refuse to hold the wedding. We just needed to call some good friends and have a Simple banquet. Patrick couldn't convince me, so he naturally agreed. In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day. Shirley sent me the wedding dress. Because it was a mini wedding, only seven or eight tables were available. Most of the guests came from my studio and Towering High Company. Everyone was familiar with each other. In order to solve the marriage problem of the older single women in my studio, Nancy and I also made a special effort on the seating row. We specifically put single men and women of marriageable age at one table, expecting them to develop their relationship. Early
Listening to Shirley's words, I truly felt lucky for Shelton. Fortunately, he returned. Fortunately, he returned to Shirley's side. Back to the person who loved him. Michael Blake was hired as defense counsel in Shelton's case. I went to find Patrick and asked him about the case. He told me Shelton had locked Emily up for a while, but he soon let her go. But after that, Emily asked Shelton for money. Shelton gave her some. After Emily spent all the money, she was desperate and went to the police. She wanted to use this method to force Shelton to give her money. When I heard Patrick's words, I thought that Emily was too naïve. If this were true, then someone might help her. But it was she who exposed the video in the first place, and everyone knew that. She had made the choice. Now everything she said just made it worse. Emily had no money, so she could only find the assigned lawyer to file the lawsuit. In the first
She looked terrible, even her makeup was crying off. Only one night had passed, but she seemed to have aged a few years. She looked at us and asked, "How is father doing?" "The operation was successful." Patrick answered, but his expression looked bad. Dulcie heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Good." Then she turned around and was about to leave. Patrick said, "Aunt Dulcie, you don't have to blame yourself. It's just that Roger used you." "I blame myself for being stupid." Dulcie stood there, with her back to us and her head lowered. "I know it quite well in my heart. How could such a handsome, good and young man like him fall in love with me? But I still hold a trace of luck in my heart, thinking about what if it's true?" She didn't go on but left with her head down. I was a little worried. "Will your aunt be fine?" "Don't worry. She is a strong woman." After Patrick said that, he patted me on the shoulder. "You should go to
Patrick's words were like a sharp sword that pierced into Roger's heart. Roger stood there. Although he looked calm, he lost all his momentum. At this moment, the ambulance arrived. Although Dulcie was angry and hard to accept it, she could tell what was more important. She opened the door and let the doctor in. The doctor examined Ned first, and then quickly carried him into the ambulance. Because of the small space in the ambulance, only two people were allowed to accompany Ned. Sheridan and Melissa got in. Once they left, it was just me, Patrick, Dulcie, and Roger left in the room. "I'll ask the driver to drive the car over." Patrick took out his phone and called the driver. Then I supported him to go out. Dulcie and Roger stood there without saying a word. Patrick did not talk to them either. He went out with me and got in the car. We decided to order the servants to take care of Glenn first. We cal
Hearing his words, Sheridan looked gloomy on the side. Patrick held me in his arms, "You seem to care about the affairs of the Cowell Family so much. Each time we have some disputes, you will help us enthusiastically. Now you are making a move on my aunt, aren't you?" "No." After finishing his words, Roger imitated Patrick and held Dulcie in his arms, saying, "Dulcie and I love each other sincerely." ...... I looked gloomy. It wasn't that I didn't believe in December Romance. However, the age gap between them was so large. As Patrick's aunt, Dulcie was quite good-looking. It was just that she, who was old, had encountered too many unpleasant things in the past few years, making her meaner and harsher. As for Roger by her side... From all aspects, every woman lusted for him. He, who wasn't poor, surely could get whatever woman he wanted with ease. Indeed, in every way, there was no way that he would take a fancy to Dulcie. No w
"All right." I nodded. I would marry Patrick soon. Because of the things taking place in the past, the Cowell Family didn't have a good impression of me. If I arrived there late because of getting changed this time, it wouldn't be worth it. Holding Patrick's hand, I went downstairs with him. Coming out early, we didn't see many cars on the road. When we arrived at the Cowell Family's mansion, it was exactly 6:30 p.m. By the time we went in, it had been quite lively inside the house. Sheridan, Melissa, and Ned were all surrounding Glenn. Glenn, a six-year-old child, was smart and flexible. Whatever others asked him, he would respond like an adult. Upon seeing us, the three of us looked at me. Ned straightened up first and said with a smile on his face, "You're here." "Yes. Hello, Grandpa Cowell." After greeting Ned, I said to Sheridan and Melissa, "Hello, Mr. Sheridan. Hello, Mrs. Melissa." Now, the relationsh
"I'll be gentler." Leaning and frowning, he seemed to be in great pain, "I'm in pain." ...... "I am telling you the truth..." Cupping my face with his hands, he looked as if he were waiting for me to show my mercy. Frowning, i didn't know what to do for a while. What's more, unlike Patrick's office where there was a lounge, my office was a small one with a sofa only. Moreover, the setup was later divided. It wasn't quite soundproof. Once, Nancy made a phone call to argue with a construction company in her office. I heard all that she had said clearly in my office... Thinking of this, I shook my head heavily. Seeing his distressed look, I tentatively asked, "Shall we go upstairs?" Upon finishing my words, I felt that my suggestion wasn't quite plausible. At this time, Patrick was on the verge of ejecting. His private part was bulging. On the way out, we would pass by the open office... Everyone would be watching us.
"Why did you... come here?" Standing up in a hurry, I helped Patrick into the office. While walking in, he closed the door handily. Looking up at the closed door, I knew that he should be here for what had happened just now. Even if he wouldn't take the initiative to come here, I would ask him about it. I helped Patrick seated on the sofa. Sitting up, he looked at me and said, "What do you want to know? Go ahead." Sure enough, he knew me. Sitting opposite him and looking at him, I thought for a moment before asking, "What happened? What did Kelsi do?" "Ever since she left last time, per my order, Louis had been keeping an eye on everything about her, including the ones she contacted. As expected, she dealt with the ones who smuggled guns and bribed a murderer, asking him to kill someone." Patrick didn't state who Kelsi had wanted to kill explicitly. Even so, I knew that it was me. I looked at Patrick, asking, "What did you do?
