I could understand what others said. However, instead of responding to them, I only smiled. The whole banquet lasted for more than three hours. Standing there in my high heels, I felt that my feet were in great pain. Even so, I put on a smile on my face. My face didn't even change at all. The banquet was over. Before the crowd dispersed, Shelton asked me, "Aren't you feeling comfortable while wearing high heels?" I shook my head, smiling formally, "Not that bad." Looking at me, Shelton frowned slightly, directly bent down without any deliberation, and picked me up in his arms, walking to the door! "What are you doing?" Feeling shocked, I didn't expect Shelton to hug me in his arms suddenly! He looked at me and said with distress in his eyes, "Sorry, I was too busy talking to others. So I ignored you, leaving you standing for so long." "It doesn't matter. Put me down. I can still walk." At this moment, other guests all looked o
Mr. Reid discussed his idea with us, and at the same time, he also discussed it with the boss of Gifted Design. We signed the agreement immediately and made an appointment to go to the holiday village tomorrow to have a look. Afterwards, we would check the blueprint of the building design, follow by the revision of landscape design and interior design. When talking about the schedule, I felt happy. Because of this tight schedule, I had the excuse to work overtime, so I didn't need to accompany Shelton. Although he was quite kind to me these days. However, the better he treated me, the more I cared about the hidden viciousness of him. I was terrified that I would enrage him one day. Therefore, it would be best for me to cut down the time with him. The next day, Mr. Reid did not come, but he sent Bache to drive me and Nancy to the holiday village. In the car, I pretended to ask Bache casually, "Mr. Bache, Mr. Reid and you said that I
Shelton put his hands on the steering wheel and looked ahead. Although his expression didn't change, he seemed to ignore what I said. I was a little nervous, and I didn't know if he had heard me. But even so, I didn't even have the courage to say it again. I clutched the edge of my clothes tightly. I didn't know when I became so timid in front of Shelton. Perhaps it was at the time when I saw so many guns from him. We were about to arrive at Glorious Days bay. When the car stopped, Shelton looked at me and unfastened the seat belt for me. He raised his hand and gently touched my cheek, saying with a smile, "Well, I won't pick you up during this period." "Ok." I wanted to say thank you, but I thought what had happened before, so I kept silent. That night, Shelton still held me in his arms when sleeping, but he did nothing else. ...... The next day, Nancy and I received the blueprints of holiday village buildings, and started to
One of the women was lying in front of Shelton, burying her head in his lower body. No matter how stupid I am, I knew what she was doing. As for the rest, some of them were feeding Shelton grapes with their mouths, and some were pouring wine for him. Although I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked by what I saw in front of me. In my expression, Shelton had always been a clean-cut, gentle and cultivated man. I never thought he would act like this. After the door was opened, everyone inside looked across at me. Shelton also wanted to find out who was that unexpected visitor. Today, he did not wear glasses on his well-defined face. His eyes were cold and sharp. He looked at me with a bit of hostility in his eyes. But when he recognized me, his expression immediately softened. He pushed the woman beside his thighs. As his trousers could not be zipped up, he dragged down his clothes to cover it. He stood up and walked towards
I opened my eyes, only to feel that the corner of my eye was slightly kissed by Shelton. His kiss took away the teardrop hanging there. It was as light as a feather. After a while, Shelton stood up and sat straight. He put the coat on me and said, "Sorry, I was too rude. I just..." "It's nothing." I stood up. "You're wrong, Shelton. I'm not here to catch you cheating on me, and I'm not here to get angry with you. I mean, I don't mind what happened today." "Oh." Hearing my words, Shelton chuckled and shook his head helplessly. "Do you know? That's the reason why I'm angry. I'd rather you blame me for this, I'd rather you quarrel with me, and I'd rather you drove those women away just now. Because, only in this way can I know that you really care about me." Shelton's words deeply moved me. For a moment, I thought I could understand him. However ... I tightened the clothes on me and lowered my eyes. "I really don't mind for now. If one
"No, my big brother provoked the gangsters for her! It used to a big taboo of his business. He used to tell me that I should never get involved with the gangsters. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get away from them. But he went their place for Charlotte." Roger said excitedly. I stood at the door, and my hand holding the door handle trembled slightly. Was it true? Roger seemed to have taken a sip of water. I heard him put down his cup and continue, "My brother got into a fight with them because of this. He was nearly kidnapped at that time. He escaped by himself! He was seriously injured and one of his ribs was broken! He spent a long time recovering!" "He was seriously injured?" Lisa seemed to be very surprised. "Yes! At that time, my big brother was trying to protect her! And about Clark Kelsi, although the Kelsi family is doing legitimate business, in fact, they are also associated with the gangsters. Otherwise, why should my big brother marry
In the morning of this late winter, there were only a few people in the cemetery. The path in the cemetery had just been cleaned. There was not even a leaf on it. Although Roger had told me about the area where the tomb Patrick had bought for me was located, he hadn't told me about its exact location. When I arrived, I realized that the third region was very large. I wrapped myself tightly in my coat and wandered in this cemetery. It took me almost an hour to finally find the tombstone. However, the name on it was not mine. Instead, it was Caroline. This tombstone was obviously new. "This tombstone was newly changed a few days ago." When I was staring at the tombstone in a daze, I heard a hoarse and old voice from behind me. I looked back and saw an old man standing behind me, who stooped and held a large broom in his hands. Hearing his words, I guessed he knew a lot about this place, so I asked, "Why was it changed?"
I shook my head. I didn't say anything. After we finished breakfast, Shelton drove me to a jewelry store to choose a set of engagement rings. When we entered the jewelry store, the manager and several shop assistants of the store had already been waiting at the door. When we came close, they greeted together, "Mr. and Mrs. Cowell, welcome." Shelton was very pleased with being addressed like this. An engagement ring was different from a wedding ring. It should be suitable for daily use. Shelton asked a clerk to bring him a few rings. We picked one set together. After buying the engagement rings, Shelton had a meal with me and then selected two sets of clothes for engagement. Then we came home together. It was four o'clock in the afternoon when we got home. After going back, I sat on the sofa alone and talked with Nancy about the design tomorrow. Suddenly, Shelton came over and sat next to me. He put his hand on my shoulder and
