Sigrid's body stiffened. "What? Nothing happened between us last night!" Considering his physique, if something had really happened to her, she would probably be sore today! Nothing happened last night! Definitely! "The contract says that there is no need for close contact in private. What you did last night breached the contract." George was talking some serious nonsense. He looked at her red ears with great interest when she was too embarrassed to look at him now. Sigrid was shocked. "But you... you held in your arms when we were sleeping!" "It's not the same. I was naked last night," he replied. Sigrid felt that her face wasn't cooling down at all, so she curled her lip and said aggrievedly, "What do you want?" "The default penalty is five million." "Five million???" Her eyes opened wide. She couldn't believe it. Where in the contract did it say that they had to pay five million in compensation for breach of the contract? It was
His deep and husky voice was full of temptation. Sigrid felt that her thoughts could not keep up with him. Kiss him? She swallowed instinctively and said, "Why... why do I have to kiss you to prove what I say?" "Stop talking, kiss me." Sigrid felt so grieved to be ordered around by this guy again. Her eyes slowly moved down from his deep eyes to his sexy thin lips, she hesitated and felt that it wouldn't be so bad. 'Oh, no... Snap out of it! This is not a matter of whether it would be good or not!' she told herself. "We've agreed that we shouldn't have any intimate contact in private," she protested in a low voice. "Five million or kiss me. Choose." George lowered his head a few centimeters, "Kiss me passionately. As passionately as you rushed into my arms last night." Sigrid: "..." It was a no brainer. She didn't have the five million to give him. The only thing she could do was... She lifted her small white hand, cares
Seeing that his sexy thin lips were bleeding, Sigrid felt a little guilty. Blushing with embarrassment, she took a tissue from the bedside table and wiped his lips. "I'm done kissing... Put on your clothes." She now knew that his breath didn't stink, and he was naked now. Why did she have the impulse that she wanted to continue kissing him? Sigrid pressed her hand to the left side of her chest and felt her rapid heartbeat. She was a little worried that she was so horny! Well, it must be because his lips were so beautiful and his mouth didn't stink! He slowly put on his clothes. His cold and aloof look made Sigrid feel distant and uncomfortable. The same man with his clothes on and his clothes off presented two radically different pictures! "I believe you this time, but watch your step in the future," he said in a cold tone as he turned his back to her. Sigrid, who couldn't see his slightly upturned mouth, breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll be mor
He pinched her rosy cheeks and said, "Missed you." 'He must have changed dramatically today!' Sigrid thought to herself. After breakfast, Franklin and Kama also came down. Franklin's original plan was to sit as they had last night, but when he saw George sitting directly beside Sigrid, he had to sit on the other side of George. Breakfast was served on the table. In front of Sigrid were the fried noodles she liked, and the others all had their own favorites. There were several different kinds of noodles in the middle. Obviously, they didn't know George's preferences, so they let him choose. Sigrid put the fried noodles directly in front of him. "Have a try." George picked up his utensils, scooped up some fried noodles, and put them into his mouth. The noodles were similar to the ones made by the chefs at the villa, but they were made with different ingredients. There was more ham mixed in with the noodles. In addition, there were more vermicelli
"Dad, Auntie, Rebecca and Edward, we're going," Sigrid said with a smile. Franklin was very satisfied with her performance and smiled kindly. "Drive safely on your way home. You can come and visit more often when you are free. Dad will see that your favorite dishes are prepared." The smile at the corners of Sigrid's mouth deepened and thought in her heart. "That's so nice of you to say. Do you know what I like to eat? Almost no dishes on the table last night were my favorites!" Edward's gaze fell directly on Sigrid's chest. Seeing her holding George's arm so tightly, he clenched his fists. Heaven knows what he wanted to do most right now was to ask Sigrid why she treated him differently. When she'd been with him, she never held his arm so tightly, not to mention having s*x with him! Her cuddling with George was one thing, but it actually seemed that George enjoyed it very much! Sigrid, unaware that her current posture was being taken notice of, conti
Seeing Sigrid sitting there silently in a daze and sending no more messages, George did not say anything. The atmosphere in the car suddenly quieted down. After returning to the villa and taking out all the things from the suitcase, Sigrid said, "In the future, if it's not convenient for you to speak, you can cough to remind me!" "I don't mind if you want to do it that way." With this type of thing, he thought, the more natural, the better. Sigrid blushed again. "I mind!" She was the one who had been taken advantage of! George raised his eyebrows and walked over to her, leaning in to look into her beautiful eyes. "Are you shy?" "So what if I am?" After saying this confidently, Sigrid said, "No, I just feel like I'm at a disadvantage!" "In the future, there will be more suffering." Having said that, he turned and walked out of the room leaving Sigrid with a confused look on her face. What did he mean? Did he mean that he would take
She turned her head slowly and saw George putting the petals into the water. His eyes were still fixed on her, staring at her unashamedly... She quickly raised her hand to cover her breasts and said, "How... how did you get in here..." "I heard that you needed flower petals, so I brought them to you. This is a good opportunity for us to celebrate our marriage. Let's take a bath together," George said with a smile. Only then did Sigrid remember that he had said this before they got the marriage certificate, but she had refused. So now... he was going to celebrate? ? ?? 'I really don't need to!' she thought to herself. George stood up and started taking off his clothes. As he removed his shirt, his sexy chest muscles and abdominal muscles were exposed. Sigrid looked at the muscular lines on his body and couldn't help swallowing. His body looked so sexy! Seeing that Sigrid's eyes remained on him and she did not avert her gaze, George curled up the
'Stop, stop, stop! This guy doesn't care who he marries. Even if he wants to become a real couple with me, he probably just wants an heir. Then he won't need to worry about his parents pressuring him!' she thought to herself. Sigrid hurriedly pushed him away and got out of the tub to get her clothes. "Take your time. I'll give you some privacy," she said. The maid had placed the clothes several meters away from the bath. Sigrid looked at them and then turned her head to see that George was still staring at her. She bit her lip with a red face. She thought that even if she asked, he would not turn around, so she turned her back to him and continued walking straight across the room. She silently reassured herself that there was no one behind her! When he saw her back glistening with water droplets, George's eyes darkened. He was sure that this silly girl wouldn't get up in front of him without any clothes on, so he hadn't stopped her. He hadn't expected that
"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
