As he said that, he took off his pajama shirt and handed it to her. She could just wear his pajama shirt as a nightgown. Thus, he could just wear his pants. Rachel took the pajama shirt. Seeing his chest and abs, she couldn't help swallowing some saliva. She said, "Turn around so I can change." He said with a frown, "Go to the bathroom to change." Although he couldn't see, he could hear her even if he turned around. He didn't want to hear, lest his heart got itchy. Rachel pouted her lips and said, "I haven't even married you yet, and you're already so disdainful of me." He replied, "It's not like that..." Cyrus turned around helplessly. Then he heard the sound of Rachel changing her clothes behind him. He was able to imagine the scene behind him in his mind just by listening to the sound. Rachel said excitedly, "I've finished changing. Let's go to sleep." This pajama shirt was worn by Cyrus before. It still had his scent. Wha
George replied her with a non-committal "Hmm." He was a little upset that Sigrid had noticed them. Although they were cousins, he was still jealous. "They really look alike. However, there is a big difference in their styles. They look so handsome." George frowned. "What did you say?" "They're so handsome. They're very good looking!" Sigrid praised them. George's face darkened. "I'll give you another chance." Sigrid heard the threatening tone in his words and quickly said, "Of course, you are the most handsome! They are definitely not as good-looking as you!" Only then did his expression soften a little. Sigrid felt that George was more childish than normal men. She used to think of him as a very mature and stable man. After spending some time together, she realized that he was not only clingy but also very possessive. He didn't like her to focus on any other man. She was also not even allowed to compliment others, not even a word.
Seeing Sigrid glare at her in dissatisfaction, Loris continued, "What's up with your hairline? Why is it missing a spot? And you even have scars on your face. George is so pitiful, having to look at your face everyday. How is he able to eat and sleep in peace?" George squinted his eyes. When he was about to warn Loris to shut up, he heard Sigrid's voice from behind him. "I have an imperfect hairline and also scars on my face. However, I still look better than you! Elizabeth, is that right?" Elizabeth shouted, "Yes!" Sigrid said with a triumphant smile, "Even looking at this face, my husband is still able to have two big bowls of rice! You wouldn't even be able to imagine how clingy he is with me at night. Loris, you wouldn't be able to appreciate the joy between us as husband and wife." This was the first time this little girl called him "husband" after she lost her memory. He usually wanted her to call him this. However, she refused to say it. In the end, she s
Sigrid sat aside and listened to the gossip for a long time before dinner was finally served. There were many snacks and pastries that she was not allowed to eat. She sat there for a long time and could only watch them eat. She felt like she almost starved to death. After the dinner officially started, Loris returned. The elders ate next door, and the youngsters were here. Sigrid originally thought she could eat a hearty meal. Then she realized that George was by her side. Thus, she still couldn't eat what he didn't allow her to eat. In the end, she could only watch the food she wanted to eat be eaten up by other people. After dinner, Sigrid followed George to greet the head of the Andrew family and his wife, Vallerie. She still felt a little embarrassed because she had lost her previous memories. However, Vallerie was very concerned about her. She even asked her a lot of questions for a long time. Maybe because Vallerie's eyes were very similar to h
Sigrid looked up and down at Rachel and said, "You didn't gain too much weight." "You can't tell because the clothes are covering it. I was at the office a while ago. I had to take off almost all of my clothes except for the thermal inner-wear. Then I was asked to weigh myself on the scale. My manager complained that I gained two catties from the New Year celebration, and urged me to quickly lose some weight... The entertainment industry is such a scary place!" Sigrid sighed helplessly and said, "Fine, then you just watch me eat at noon today." "No way!" Then she hurriedly pulled Sigrid to leave and said, "Let's go! We'll eat delicious food at noon today! I won't lose weight. Cyrus said that I look good like this at the moment. It doesn't matter if I don't look good on camera as long as he likes it!" Although Rachel came by car, Sigrid still thought it would be better for the driver to send them out. After all, if Rachel was the one who drove, she had to send he
After snapping a picture of the woman's outfit and appearance, Sigrid called the police. Even if the child was abandoned by her parents, they had to be hunted down. The child was only a little more than a year old; she had no means to survive on her own. If the woman who left the child there was her biological mother, she had a legal obligation to raise the child. This situation was a crime of child abandonment. The little girl whimpered, "Mommy..." Suddenly, she broke down in tears. "I want my mommy..." Sigrid quickly wiped her tears. The aggrieved cries of the young child tugged at her heartstrings painfully. Patting the child's back, Sigrid soothed her, "You'll see your mother again soon. Don't cry, okay?" Rachel reached out to caress the girl's hair. "What a pitiful child. She's so cute, too." The police filed a case after scrutinizing the photo Sigrid took. The woman's outfit was noted in the case file. Sigrid asked, "How long will it take to find the
Tianna didn't quite understand what that meant. However, she understood the word "mommy" and immediately smiled brightly. "What's her actual name?" "I don't know either. Actually, we've been so busy with work that we hadn't actually had time to register her particulars. When she first appeared on my doorstep, she was in a basket, and her skin was still red and wrinkled. I think she was probably born not long before that, so I just treat that day as her birthday." Hearing that, Rachel immediately cursed Tianna's biological parents, who had cruelly abandoned her. After Clark told her about Tianna's daily routine, Sigrid thought it over and decided not to give Clark money in the end. If she did, it would just seem like human trafficking. However, she could ask George if he could arrange for her to have a better job. Perhaps the Toland's Group owned a restaurant that could pay her a better salary than this one. The shopping session was delayed till the
Tianna was so little, and George had already thought of her marriage prospects? A child bride? She was supposed to be their daughter! "Child...bride." Tianna repeated George's words, smiling brightly and showing her cute dimples as she thought that she pronounced the words well. "Oh, Tianna, you're too precious!" Sigrid cooed, hugging Tiana and saying happily, "You're not a child bride. You are my daughter! Be a good girl. Call me mommy." "Mommy is not here." Tianna frowned and pouted. Sigrid knew that Tianna still thought of Clark as her mother. However, she still patiently coaxed her, "I am your new mommy." "Mommy is not here," Tianna answered, looking at Sigrid in distress. "She still needs to get used to being away from Clark. Sigrid, you have to give her some time to adjust," Rachel said. Sigrid nodded and carefully glanced at George. She asked, "Can I adopt her?" "It takes a lot of money to raise a child," George replied. Si
"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
