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
"It's nothing." After finishing my words, I turned to show my concern for Shelton. "Did I hit you?" Looking gentle, Shelton touched my forehead and said, "It's good that you're all right." I lowered my head shyly. Lowering my head, I couldn't see the look on Emily's face. Even so, I could see clearly that she clenched her hands into fists. Without ever looking at her, I knew what the look in her eyes was like. Lowering my head, I stood in Shelton's arms for a while before raising my head and saying, "I'm going to wake Glenn up." "You don't have to do that." Shelton grabbed me, "Leave Glenn to the maids. We will only be there for a few hours. And we will come back at noon." ...... I turned my head and glanced at Emily. At this time, hearing Shelton's words, she, who had a fake smile on her face, said with great enthusiasm, "Master, Madam, rest assured that you can leave Young Master to me. Having been taking care of my younger brothe
"Congratulations!" "I'm so envious of Miss Nolan. She can marry such an outstanding man as you, Mr. Shelton!" "Mr. Shelton, I wish Miss Nolan and you a harmonious union forever! May you two have a baby early!" Amid the blessings of the audience, the press conference came to an end. Standing on the stage like a puppet, I felt extremely complicated in my heart. The fact that Shelton officially announced the relationship between him and me on such an important day left me no room to go back on my words. Because now everyone knew it. After the press conference was over, both Bailey and Andie came over and greeted me respectfully, "Mrs. Cowell." I felt depressed in my heart. But I couldn't say anything. Walking to me after finishing everything at the press conference, Shelton seemed to sense that I was somewhat unhappy. So he raised his hand and patted me on the shoulder, asking, "What's wrong? Aren't you happy? Don't you like the
Hearing Shelton's words, I was stunned for a second, asking, "Are you going to take Glenn with us?" I had agreed with Nancy that I would send Glenn to her house this afternoon. And she would come to pick him up later. After all, nobody in the Cowell Family knew about the existence of this child. I didn't intend to take him with me either. "Yes. As we said before, take Glenn with us." Shelton looked at Glenn with affection and fatherhood in his eyes, "After you and I had a one-night stand abroad five years ago, Glenn was born. So I've been pursuing you after coming from abroad." Hearing Shelton's words, Glenn blinked his eyes and asked on the side, "What is a one-night stand?" Thinking that one-night stand was a word with multiple meanings, I knew that we couldn't enlighten Glenn about it with a few sentences within a short period. "Okay." I agreed and looked at the things inside the bag, only to see two sets of suits for Glenn. I took the
The engagement banquet was held in a restaurant of the Cowell Family. After we arrived there, I saw that a lot of luxury cars parked at the entrance. Shelton was an unexpected rising force to the people in the Cowell Family and City Y. Moreover, the pharmaceutical industry was an indispensable industry. As human beings' life span was getting longer and longer, naturally, we relied more and more on medicine. Admittedly, the ones mastering high-end pharmaceutical technology had mastered the way to make money. From a long-term perspective, the pharmaceutical industry surely wouldn't be less promising than the industries like the Internet industry and the smartphone industry. Nobody was stupid. So a lot of people should have attended Shelton's engagement party here. Sure enough, after I followed Shelton in, I found that there were a lot of guests in the vast engagement hall. As we walked inside, every guest said in our ears, "congratulations!
Originally, Shelton wanted to stop Glenn, only to fail. As Glenn was in Shelton's arms, the guests didn't sense anything strange. However, now that Glenn was in Patrick's arms. And the two of them looked in one direction. In an instant, the guests could see that Patrick and Glenn resembled each other. The guests around us all huddled over. Looking at Patrick and Glenn, none of them said a word. However, everyone was speculating in their mind. "Uncle, what's your name?" Glenn wrapped his arms around Patrick's neck intimately. It seemed that he was holding Patrick's neck more tightly than he had been in Shelton's arms before. "Glenn, you should call him brother." Before Patrick responded, Shelton spoke first on the side. Indeed, according to the seniority, Patrick was Glenn's brother! Hearing Shelton's words, Glenn twitched his short eyebrows and pouted, "Why? A brother won't be so old." As he spoke, he held Patrick'
