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'
Before I could say anything, Dulcie on the side couldn't hold it in any longer, "Dad, why are you thanking her? Don't you know what kind of person she is? It's all because of money that she clings to Shelton tightly. Now that Shelton is rich, how come you are afraid that she'll run away? She'll be nice to Shelton even if she dies. After all, nobody will give up on such a powerful sugar daddy." From the very first beginning, neither Dulcie nor Melissa treated me well. After all, they knew clearly what had happened before, ascertaining that I was a beauty who brought trouble to them. Now that Shelton had announced how rich he was, making them more ascertain that I had gained a lot of benefits for nothing. Hearing what she said, Melissa spoke, "She isn't simple. I think She should have deceived Shelton." "It is enough!" Ned got angry and stared at the two of them, "If you didn't come here to congratulate them, you don't have to show up here. Now that you're h
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?
