"Don't open your eyes. You may be suffering snow blindness now." Patrick did not answer my question. Instead, he came over with a medicine chest in one hand and a towel in the other. He let me lie on the sofa. He put the towel on my eyes first, and then said, "I'll bandage your wound. Wait a minute." I lay there obediently, feeling a little regretful for my impulsiveness. "Your feet are completely blue because of the low temperature. Don't be impulsive in the future. If you have something to do, you can just ask me sincerely. How can I not agree?" As Patrick spoke, he gently grabbed my ankle and said, "I will sterilize the wound for you, it will hurt a little." "All right." I nodded. As soon as I finished these two words, I felt a great pain in my ankle. "Ouch—" I took a deep breath in pain. My hand grabbed the towel on my eyes. Patrick firmly pressed my foot. "I will finish my work soon." I nodded, but it hurt so much t
I followed Patrick to a house of Roger in the downtown. After entering, I found that the place was clean, and there was no special furniture, other than a large round water bed. Its function was self-evident. As soon as Patrick came in, he looked disgustedly at the bed. "After the doctor comes to see her feet, we'll leave." "Alas, don't judge me." Roger looked innocent. "It's been so many years since I last used that. I've already turned over a new leaf. You know that." Patrick placed me on the sofa and sat down. Soon, a doctor came over to check my feet. He told me about my injury, and what I needed to take care of. In a nutshell, all I needed to do was to change the bandage every day, and avoid water. At the same time, he also checked the wound on my scalp and gave me some suggestions. After the doctor left, Roger said, "I'll buy you something to eat. Do you still need vegetables and eggs? You can stay here as long as you want. I
"No." I refused immediately. "You have to." Patrick pressed me against the wall. And I saw that his handsome face was getting closer and closer to me bit by bit. His perfectly sculpted facial features were a few millimeters away from me. I couldn't escape. Helping me unbutton my top one by one, he put his thin lips close to my ear and said, "I'll help you." ...... Patrick and I stayed in this house for two days. On the third day, Patrick finally received a response from the team in Country R. Roger came over with two sets of clothes. And Jeremy also drove over. We arrived at Towering High together. By the time we arrived there, the directors of Towering High had all been waiting there. Shelton was among them. Patrick arranged for me to settle in his office before going to the conference room on the 19th floor. I waited for him in the office. The whole morning passed by very quickly. At noon, I fin
Now that as I recalled, I was in a good state now. I put my past and behind and got reborn. I was no longer someone who could only be humble. Now, I had Glenn and a master. And I was skilled and capable. I shouldn't have buried myself in the past. Right? Ignoring my words, Patrick said to Jeremy on the side, "Jeremy, go get all the things Uncle Shelton wants and give them all to him." "But... " "Go!"Patrick ordered! Although Jeremy was very reluctant, he did as Patrick said. On the side, Roger was anxious, saying, "No! You can't give them to him." He said to Patrick, "Brother, you have been working hard so many years before getting these things. If you give all of them to him, you will lose everything!" "Go downstairs and wait for me there." Patrick drove Roger away. But Roger refused to leave, saying, "I won't go. I'm telling you, with me standing here today, if you dare to give your things to him, beat me to death firs
Lowering my eyes, I clutched my hands slightly. Then I looked up at him again with a beautiful smile and said, "Well, I will never leave you. Please don't hurt Glenn. He means everything to me." Hearing this, Shelton seemed to be a little injured, asking, "Does he mean everything to you? What about me?" "You are my husband," I answered naturally. For the sake of Glenn, I would stay by Shelton's side all the time. Shelton seemed to be quite satisfied with my answer. Nodding, he took out my cell phone from his pocket and handed it over to me. As for the fact that my cell phone was with him, I didn't pay much attention to it. As I was about to put my cell phone away, I heard Shelton say, "I installed software on your cell phone. And wherever you go, I'll find out your whereabouts. And if you contact Patrick, I'll know it too." His words made me stunned. I looked up at Shelton somewhat incredulously and opened my mouth. In the end, I said bri
Besides Emily Welch, regarding the other two servants, I learned something about them. One of them was Janice who was in her fifties. The other one was Lacy in her thirties. Per Shelton's request, the Cowell Family sent Janice to work here. She, who was good at cooking, was the sole chef here. Lacy was a child of Janice's relative, who had no job. It happened that we were recruiting maids here. So she came to work here upon Janice's introduction. When I was learning about them, Glenn woke up. As soon as he, who came downstairs barefoot by himself, saw me, he shouted with his eyes shining, "Mom!" Running to my side, he climbed to the sofa, climbed onto my lap, and hugged my neck, shouting, "Mom, you are back!" "Yes." Seeing the shallow scars on his face, I felt a burst of pain in my heart. I wanted to ask him what Shelton had done to him in the past few days. But Shelton was right upstairs and could come down at any time. I thought a
Because Emily kept talking, the whole dinner was delayed for another hour. I was listening to her most of the time. However, fearing that Glenn would eat too much, I had to take care of him. As I was looking at Glenn, I took a look at Shelton out of the corner of my eyes. With a glance at him, I was stunned. By this time, Shelton had finished his meal. Putting down his chopsticks, he stared at Emily attentively as she spoke. Although the look in his eyes was as gentle as ever, there was a kind of attentiveness that was unfamiliar to me in his clear eyes. Shelton looked at Emily so intently. However, he was looking at others through Emily. At this time, I turned to look at Emily, only to find that she was looking at Shelton closely as well. However, as she looked at Shelton attentively, she wasn't the same as Shelton. It was exactly Shelton who she was looking at. And Shelton was all over her eyes. I felt that my he
Her words made my heart tighten. Curling up my lips slightly, I said jokingly, "In that case, it won't be good. He has to change. Otherwise, once his wife runs away with another man someday, he won't have time to regret it." Regarding the relationship between Patrick and I... The only chance for us to be together probably had come when we lived in the Most Powerful Family five years ago. However, because of Patrick's self-righteousness, we were farther and farther away from each other. And we would never be together again. "You and Patrick..." "It's all in the past." Before Nancy could finish her words, I spoke in advance. Turning around, I went to press the button of the elevator. What had happened between Patrick and I was left behind in the past. And the two of us wouldn't have anything to do with each other in the future. At the thought of this, I couldn't help but be sour and distressed in my heart. Even so, I couldn't ch
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?
