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
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer. It's quite strange for me to say that we never had sex, since we were both adults. But if I said yes... In the face of Patrick, I found it difficult to say yes. I felt that Shelton pinched my shoulder with a little force. I looked at him. Shelton suddenly leaned over, kissed my forehead, and then said with a smile, "Sorry, I know you are shy. I shouldn't mention this in public." "Mm..." I nodded my head gently, as a posture for agreement. I thought I had dodged the bullet, but Shelton continued, "However, this is about my dignity. If you don't say it, others will really think that I lost my ability." He looked at me softly, but expected me to say something he wished. He was waiting for me to confirm his ability. I hesitated and then I realized that he just needed a simple answer. But when I was about to open my mouth, I heard Dulcie say, "Do you guys have to talk about this priv
"I... " "Get out!" I was about to open my mouth, but Dulcie directly pulled me, wanting to get me out of the room. Sheridan said, "My dad wants to have a talk with his children. You are just an outsider, what's your point of staying here?" As they spoke, they were trying to pull me out of the room. However, Shelton grabbed my arm tightly. He glanced at Dulcie and Sheridan, and said, "Sorry, I don't trust you and don't want my fiancee to stay with you alone." "What are you talking about, Shelton?" Sheridan was unhappy about Shelton's words. "We won't do anything to her." "He is right. She should not be here when you are talking." Dulcie stood with Sheridan. In order not to embarrass Shelton and Ned, I put my hand on Shelton's hand and said with a smile, "I'll wait for you outside till you finish talking. It's okay." As I spoke, I glanced at Patrick. Patrick looked at me coldly without saying anything, but I seemed to unde
Shelton's words made me freeze for a second. What, what did he mean? I looked at Shelton. From his face and the corners of his mouth, I found that his expression was particularly serious. I looked at him blankly, and felt very confused. After a moment, I asked, "What do you mean?" At this time, I heard a harsh beep outside the car. I saw from the rear mirror that Patrick's car was following behind. The high beams of his car were flashing, looking like a provocation! I suddenly had a bad feeling. Shelton patted me on the head. "Soon, you won't be disturbed by this." When he said these words, there was no smile on his face. Then, he took off his glasses and drove the car out of the East Wind restaurant. "What are you going to do? Where are we going?" I kept asking Shelton. However, Shelton did not answer my question. He totally focused on driving. At this time, it was already night, and it was snowing. The drif
When we reached the door, most of the bodyguards just stayed there. Only four of them followed us inside. We entered the elevator. Instead of going up, we went down. We reached the fourth basement. As soon as the door opened, Shelton and Patrick both got out of the elevator. I followed them out of the elevator. We were in a very big room, which seemed to be a leisure room. Inside the room, there were billiard tables, small water bars, darts, foosball sets, and so on. There were three large black sofas in the middle of the room. A tea table was also in the middle. Some fruit plates were placed on this tea table. Next to the plates... I saw an old-fashioned pistol. I recalled carefully and then found out that this gun seemed to be a revolver! When I realized this was a revolver, I immediately knew what was going to happen next! I rushed over and opened my arms to block these two men in front of me. I shook my h
