Sigrid patted her son's back and said, "I'm just worried that he'll turn out to be slow-witted if he continues to be so quiet. Children are usually very noisy. Him being too quiet makes me worried." George did not believe her theory. She must think that bullying her son was fun, and she must have felt very accomplished when she saw the initially quiet Oreo cry. Oreo did not like to cry. If it weren't for Sigrid who kept on poking him, he would not have cried out loud. After a short while, he stopped crying. There was not a single tear on his face... There was no apparent proof of his crying. George saw that Oreo was still looking around curiously after crying, and there were no tears on his face. Suddenly, a strange idea came to his mind... Could it be that Oreo had been pretending to cry? Usually, children would cry out loudly without any tears. However, their faces would at least turn red from crying. If not, then there would be other trace
Sigrid smiled and stayed quiet. Upon seeing her expression, Kama knew that Sigrid would not let Rebecca get away with anything. Disappointed was apparent on her face. However, deep down, she was feeling rather angry. This little b*tch had become more arrogant after becoming the daughter of the Andrew family! However, Franklin was thinking that after all, he had raised Sigrid for so many years. If he were to ask her for a favor, she would most likely oblige. "Sigrid, I have only two daughters. Now that you've returned to the Andrew family, and Rebecca isn't here anymore, Aunt Beaufort and I really feel lonely. Rebecca has really realized what she has done wrong. Please give her another chance." Sigrid smiled. "I truly believe that she has really realized that going against me because of Edward was a ridiculous move, and he really isn't worth it. However, even if the person involved wasn't Edward, someone else could have been in his place." After all, sh
However, since they had grown up together, although they would only be cousins, their relationship would be no different from real siblings. It was all Kama's fault! "You're trying to blame me for that?" Kama glared at him. "I was just telling you that Sigrid didn't look like you, and she wouldn't be your biological child. However, you still did a DNA test because you were suspicious. I didn't force you to do all that either! In fact, it was your own decision to do so. For so many years, I've never asked you to treat Sigrid so poorly." After all, as his wife, she would not be harsh to Sigrid in order to demonstrate her virtue. Only when Sigrid and Rebecca had conflicts would she side with Rebecca. Franklin was so angry that his face turned livid. He glared at Kama and said, "You useless woman!" Kama was furious. Back then, she and Franklin had fallen in love and legally gotten married. However, he had wanted to pursue a higher status. Tha
Sigrid frowned and gently pinched Oreo's cheeks, "Why didn't you poop earlier?" Oreo gave her an aggrieved look and then looked back at Tianna. Tianna patted his chest using her other hand that was not held by him and said, "You have to tell the adults if you want to pee or poop." Oreo could not understand her. Thus, he just grabbed onto her and refused to let go. Sigrid took another new diaper to change for him. Then, she picked him up and lectured him, "You have to learn from your sister, do you understand? I've managed to wipe your butt clean for you and changed a new diaper for you. Then, you made another mess again!" Oreo looked at Sigrid innocently. Sigrid felt that he certainly could not understand what she had said, but he must have realized that he also wanted to go to the toilet when he had tugged on Tianna a moment ago. After all, even if his diaper had been changed, he would not feel comfortable. After Candy was brought over,
"It's too late. It's not safe for you," said Jonason. He took the opportunity to hug her and got ready to drive her home, hoping that he could stay over at her place as well. How could Miley not know what he was thinking about? She said, "I'm going to the show's filming site. Sorry to trouble you." "Sure." Miley heard his brief response and guessed that he knew she was not staying at her own place that night, but at the filming site. She knew that it would be inconvenient for him to stay over. Fortunately, she had managed to overcome this dilemma. The truth is, things might not work out the way we expect them to. The show's filming site was not far from the Andrew family's residence. It only took them half an hour to arrive. Both of them got out of the car, and Jonason accompanied Miley all the way to the room where the mentors lived. He incidentally went in to look around and said, "The conditions here are pretty good." He had previously bee
"Why would I wear them to bed?" Miley asked while she blushed. If she had prepared in advance, she could have asked someone to buy her a singlet. However, he had suddenly asked to sleep with her, so she did not have the chance to ask anyone to buy it for her. She was afraid that others would find out about them. Jonason's gaze shifted downwards and eyed her chest. Then, he suddenly whispered into her ear and asked, "I heard that sleeping naked is very comfortable. Do you want to try it?" "Dream on!" Miley's face flushed even redder. She suddenly reached out and pinched his face, "I'm warning you! You should behave yourself properly! Sleep properly! If you dare to do anything to me, be careful, or I'll break Jonason Junior!" Jonason smiled, "Come at me if you dare." D*mn it! She couldn't beat him! Jonason reached out and turned off the lights. After they covered themselves with the quilt, he put his hand into her pajamas and touched her back. He did
Seeing Miley's confused expression, Jonason laughed while continuing his actions. In the next two hours, Miley finally experienced Jonason's shamelessness. The kiss he mentioned was not just on her lips, but peppered all over her body! When she woke up the next morning, Miley looked at the ceiling with despair. The person next to her had already woken up, looking proud as he had already accomplished his mission. She continued to lie on the bed for another while. When she was about to get up and get dressed, she suddenly paused and looked at him, "Close your eyes. I need to change." "It's not like I didn't already see all of you last night," Jonason looked at her with excitement. Miley was furious upon remembering what had happened the previous night. She slapped him hard on the chest, "You're shameless!" "How am I shameless? You were the one who agreed to it," Jonason had an innocent look on his face. He immediately grabbed her slender wrist.
Jonason became silent for a moment upon hearing her question. Why did he like her? He had started liking her more than ten years ago, but if even he told her, she would not believe him. Seeing Jonason remain silent, Miley blushed and gritted her teeth as she asked, "Do you like women with big breasts?" Jonason was taken aback. Upon seeing him not refute, Miley reckoned that she had guessed right and felt a little embarrassed. She immediately frowned and said, "With your societal standing, it's not difficult for you to find a good-looking woman with big breasts. Instead of wasting your time on me, why don't you chase after other women?" "No, it's not that," Jonason frowned. "Miley, have you forgotten your childhood memories?" "My childhood memories?!" Miley felt that his words were quite strange. "When people grow up, isn't it normal for them to not remember their childhood? Everyone's brain capacity is limited. It's normal for one to choose t
"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
