It was too late for Sigrid to refuse him as he had already taken off all her clothes and covered her with a bath towel. Then he pulled her into the hot spring. Sigrid felt her face about to explode from all the blushing! This dummy! When they were in the hot spring, Sigrid wanted nothing more than to give him a wide berth. However, the space was really small in the hot spring. Even if she tried to avoid him, she was still within two meters of George. George was leaning comfortably, his strong arms propped on both sides. Seeing him close his eyes to enjoy the hot spring, Sigrid blushed a little when she saw he didn't have that usual intimidating look. George was good-looking. She had always known this. It was just that he always had a look like he was not easy to get along with. Especially with his cold eyes that made it hard for people to approach. They had met when he came to visit the Vincent family as Rebecca's boyfriend back then. She had
"Probably at night." George put the soup on her bedside table and said, "Drink some." Sigrid quickly sat up, held the bowl in her hands and took a few sips. Although it was steaming hot, she was feeling cold at this moment. Even if her tongue was a little numb, she still wanted to drink the hot soup. George saw that her countenance had improved after drinking the soup. He made her take off her clothes and laid on the bed. After that, he went to close the curtains. Even if the windows here were slightly ventilated, the wind wouldn't seep in. Sigrid curled up into a ball, her body warm just after drinking the hot soup. She stretched out her feet as this could heat up the bed in a while. She had been laying on the bed for so long, but her feet were still cold. There was not much warmth on the bed. After George prepared everything, he switched on a bedside lamp. Although it was still in the afternoon, the light was denied entrance after he closed the bla
Sigrid let out a cold laugh. She flashed a disdainful expression and said, "Didn't someone use treacherous tricks because I was an eyesore? Fortunately, nothing serious happened to me. Otherwise, I would definitely make sure that the person is held accountable." Hannah nodded understandingly. Sharon, who was beside her started to break out in cold sweat and her face turned pale. George happened to see Sharon's reaction at this time. He knew that she must have had something to do with that incident. This banquet was not too exquisite. After all, it was just a dance academy. Halfway through the event, Sigrid and George got up to go to the bathroom together. She asked, "Did you manage to catch anything?" "It is probably the second one on your right." Sigrid thought about the seating position from a while ago. "That's my roommate, Sharon." George nodded. He knew that she was Sigrid's roommate. However, he really couldn't remember her name. "
George was speechless. The main focus should not be the hairline. He felt that the main focus was that Sigrid had forgotten everything that had happened for the past six months, resulting in him being unable to have his way with her. Sharon only noticed Sigrid's hairline on her forehead at this moment. She said a little awkwardly, "Th-this will grow out in no time." Sigrid pointed to her cheek again and said, "My scars haven't disappeared yet. Do you know how much concealer I applied to cover it today? You disfigured me!" Sigrid couldn't accept these two things. Although George asked the doctor to give her the best medicine, it would still leave scars behind. George's personal doctor had repeatedly promised her that the scars would disappear entirely later on and there would be no traces left. However, she always felt like crying when she looked in the mirror and saw the scar and her hairline. She felt that her appearance had been seriously affected!
Though she didn't want the baby, it was a life, after all. Also, George would probably be infuriated if he found out. Her tiny little frame wouldn't be able to handle his rage! Even if she was the cherished love of his life, if she got rid of the baby, he'd probably go out of his mind with rage and take it out on her, wouldn't he? However, if she did keep the baby... her future self was the one who'd had sex with George! Why was she the one who had to endure the pregnancy, along with the pain of childbirth? She wasn't happy! Sigrid struggled for a while. Then she thought that she could go and buy a pregnancy test kit later. It had been two weeks since she'd woken up in the hospital. She hadn't done anything with George during the past two weeks. Thus if she was pregnant, the pregnancy test kit would detect it. Thinking like this, Sigrid took out her mobile phone and hurriedly went to place an order through an online store. When she saw the def
She appeared with a blushing face when the bathroom door opened. He looked at her pink rosy cheeks. He resisted the urge to pick her up and walk toward the big bed. "What's the result?" Sigrid pursed her lips. She glanced at him with a little embarrassment. "Well..." "What do you mean by that?" His seductive Adam's apple moved up and down. Was it exactly like what he thought? "It means...it means I'm pregnant..." Her face was completely red. Sigrid felt like she was going to melt under George's gaze. "How many did you use?" It couldn't just be a coincidence, could it? Sigrid answered in a small voice, "I used up the entire box..." There could be an error if she used just one kit to test. However, it was impossible for an entire box to go wrong. George stretched out his arm around her and said, "Be careful. Have a seat on the bed and get some rest." Sigrid felt like she was a national treasure at this moment. George was probably afraid th
Only then, Sigrid realized that when George wanted to bully her, it was not so easy for her to escape. The next morning, Sigrid washed up quickly after waking up and hurried to the hospital. After completing all the tests that had to be done on an empty stomach, she had her breakfast. Then she continued with the remaining tests. She spent the entire morning doing tests. After having her lunch, she got her test results. She had, in fact, already been pregnant at the time of her fall. However, though she'd previously been tested for this, it wasn't detected. Her body was in a good condition now, though she was a little weak because of the major blood loss. As long as she followed a balanced diet, it wouldn't affect the baby too much. Sigrid breathed a sigh of relief after she went through the doctor's advice. She still decided to give birth to the child, even though she had no feelings for George at this moment. It was her own child, after all. She'd l
In the eyes of this group of self-righteous people, this was considered plastic surgery. Sigrid took a screenshot and sent it to Rachel. Sigrid sent the picture. "Didn't you just add highlights and contours to your makeup? Then they claimed you underwent plastic surgery! This group of experts is impressive. Are there any traces of plastic surgery on your face like they said? How could they tell through the photos?" Rachel was dumbfounded. "What the hell is this? Where did you see this?" "I saw it on your Facebook. Don't you know about this?" Rachel replied, "I manage my own Facebook account. I usually keep an eye on it for sometime after I post something. Maybe someone commented a long time after the post was uploaded. I will check it out." Rachel posted a post on her Facebook about half an hour later. Rachel posted, "I did not undergo plastic surgery or fine-tuning. Thanks, but no thanks, experts. All I did was apply some makeup and edit
"Okay." Grace agreed and said, "I have something else to discuss with you." When he finally heard this sentence, Zaden knew that there must've been something going on. "What's the matter?" As they talked, they went into the lounge. Zaden also specifically told the secretaries that no one was allowed to come in and disturb him before work in the afternoon. These words made the secretaries' eyes turn red. Since he had ordered them to keep everyone out of his office while he was inside with a woman, it was hard to control their imaginations from running wild. "How's your investigation on my surrogacy?" Grace asked. Zaden had thought that Grace's patience was wearing thin, and so she had sought him out for an update on his progress. Feeling a little ashamed, he said, "I'm sorry. There hasn't been any progress so far. You know that information on surrogacy is highly secured. It won't be so easy for my subordinates to investigate it." "It's okay. You
"Stop!" Grace made a gesture and said, "I'm going to the Empire Group. Do you want to go with me?" "Oh?" Gentry was flustered for a moment and then realized that he had almost gotten himself in trouble. He quickly said goodbye. "Sorry, sorry for bothering you. It's my fault!" Grace shook her head helplessly. She went to the kitchen to bring the toiletries she had prepared for Zaden, and set off for the Empire Group. Grace took a cab, as she didn't have the nerve to ask her chauffeurs to give her a ride. This was the first time Grace had taken the initiative to go there. She didn't know whether she was going to meet Zaden or not, but the staff at the front desk had changed since the last time she had went to deliver food and she didn't know when it had happened. Hence, the new staff didn't know her at all. However, when she saw that Grace was dressed up very beautifully and elegantly, she guessed that Grace must be someone important. Naturally, she didn't d
This time, Grace took the initiative. She stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around Zaden's neck, and took the initiative to plant her pink lips on his. The chaste kisses turned into lingering kisses. Zaden had always restrained himself very much. Every time he met Grace, he always felt that he was on the verge of losing control. "Well, I can't believe that you are so obedient today. Go to sleep. If you kiss me again, I might not remain chaste. You won't have a chance to sleep even if you want to," said Zaden. After going to bed, Grace took the initiative to cradle into Zaden's arms. Just like Dulcie acting like a spoiled child, Grace had also put all of her heart and soul into Zaden, like a spoiled child. The next day, there was still no sign of Zaden at breakfast in the Andrew household. "Oh? Dad's gone again..." Dulcie said regretfully. Douglas found that his sister was upset, thus he comforted her, "It doesn't matter, Dulcie. Daddy need
The silent confrontation was still going on, and Zaden was waiting. When would Moira give in? Moira was also waiting. When would Zaden be gracious enough to let her go? However, perhaps these two people didn't know each other very well. They both had naive expectations that were absolutely wrong and impossible to achieve from the beginning. "It's so cold..." Moira murmured in a low voice. As she spoke, a puff of white vapor immediately appeared in front of her lips. Even though kneeling down like this was not a big deal, Moira had always been pampered and had grown up a spoiled child. She had never suffered this kind of hardship before. Her body could not bear it either. She only felt that her legs were on the verge of losing its strength and becoming numb. The rain grew heavier and heavier, and the wind and rain swayed. Flowers in the garden were beaten into a mess by the rain, as so was Moira. Moira's body had reached its limit, and she could not catch h
"Plop—" Moira's kneecaps hit the ground, the sound of it ringing crisp. Grace was dumbfounded. She looked at Moira, who was kneeling in front of her, and could not say anything for a while. As for Zaden, there was not even the slightest expression on his face. "What, what are you doing?" Grace asked. She instinctively stood up from her chair as she took in the scene before her, at a complete loss of what to do. Moira glanced at her. Sometimes, when one's ego was at one's feet, one becomes more able to take humiliation than usual. She replied with indifference, "Why are you so agitated? I'm not kneeling at you. Don't think too much of yourself." Moira looked at Zaden and said, "Zaden, I beg you, please have mercy on the Coulson family. No matter what you demand, as long as I can do it, you can demand it!" Zaden frowned and said, "Kneel further if you want to. You're an eyesore right now." Mercy? For someone like Zaden, mercy had always bee
"No, Mother, if Zaden takes over the Coulson Group, then we..." Moira could not continue speaking. She did not even want to imagine what would happen. "You understand now? I thought a donkey kicked you in the brain!" "That... That won't do. I'll go beg him right now!" Moira shouted. Now that things had come to this, it was obvious that Zaden's target was Moira. Although she was extremely unwilling, she would have to make a stand against him now. No matter what she would have to experience, she had to protect the company. She could not lose everything. She rushed to the Andrew family villa, but Moira was not even allowed through the main entrance. "Let me in!" Moira began making a scene outside. She made such a ruckus that it was difficult for the people inside to ignore her. "Mr. Andrew, Miss Coulson is causing a scene outside, this..." the butler informed Zaden "Let her be," Zaden said expressionlessly. This was not the first
Grace frowned before cutting Moira off. "Moira, there's no use in talking to me like that. I just want to know who it is. Tell me the truth!" "Do you think I'll tell you just because you want to know?" Moira scoffed before retorting, "Who do you think you are?" "Does this mean that you admit you used Mr. Yale's name to deceive me?" Grace quickly latched onto the loophole in Moira's words. "Hah, I didn't say that. You're just making things up." Moira was still as stubborn as a mule. She once again diverted the topic so that she could insult and ridicule Grace. All sorts of vulgarities came through the call, and each minute that passed only pushed a person's limits even further. Grace felt nothing at Moira's words. However, Zaden, who was next to her, did not want to hear any more of it. He was on his last straw, so he grabbed the phone to end the call. "Are you stupid? Just letting her scold you like that?" Zaden asked, his tone sour. "As long a
"Mr. Yale and his wife are quite old, so having children has been difficult for them. In the beginning, they contacted many surrogacy agencies. However, Mr. Yale was extremely cautious when it came to picking a surrogate mother. This caused a lot of trouble to the agencies since the surrogate mothers they suggested never met his standards." "Later, Mr. Yale thought about going abroad to find a surrogate mother. However, right at the critical moment, he suddenly found out that Mrs. Yale was already pregnant!" "The pleasant surprise caused them to give up their search for a surrogate mother. After all, Mrs. Yale wasn't getting any younger and they both went through a lot to get this son, so that's why the Yale family treats him so preciously." As Zaden listened to the report from his subordinate on the other end of the call, his mood grew complicated. The only way he could clear his mind was to focus on the fact that the night wind had blown his body cold. To be h
Mr. Yale's word of thanks was like a knife stabbing into Grace's heart. How could she be worthy of his gratitude? She could not take it anymore and felt like returning to the car to escape the situation. Mr. Yale withdrew his hand in embarrassment. Even he, who was usually slick and smooth, could not find the right words to say at this time. Zaden tried to smooth things over by saying, "I'm sorry, she was one of the victims too, so..." "I understand," Mr. Yale said with a nod. "We understand and more than anything else, we thank you, Mr. Andrew. You've worked hard today. We won't take up any more of your time. You should go back early and rest. We will definitely drop by next time to properly thank you." Zaden nodded and turned to get in the car. Dulcie was all worn out from crying too long, so she was curled up in her seat and fast asleep. Zaden asked softly, "What on earth happened before I arrived?" Grace suddenly turned teary-eyed. The tear
