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
George was a little dissatisfied. "You're my wife. Why is it none of my business?" "I just want to be your 'shield'! Don't expect me to give you a baby." Sigrid crossed her arms in front of her chest and took a defensive posture. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What?" "Still pretending to be stupid? Do you think I don't know? Your parents first pushed for the marriage, and they will surely push for us to have a baby! So you are going to want me to give birth to a child that will be the heir of your family." Then, she felt, she would be the biggest victim among them! From beginning to end - used by everyone! George felt that she was really thinking a bit too much about this. "I wasn't thinking like that." "Really?" Sigrid looked at him doubtfully. "Don't lie to me." "I'm not lying to you." He wanted to have a baby with her, but not to appease the elders in his family. He wanted to have a baby with her because he liked her. Sigrid smi
In the middle of the night, Sigrid had fallen asleep, but a certain Mr. Toland opened his eyes and breathed heavily. He thought that this silly girl would at least have gotten up to find her pajamas to put on. After all, she had walked out of the bath n*ked in front of him in the bathroom before, and maybe didn't mind do it again. Who knew that she really didn't wear pajamas and lay beside him to sleep. He felt that his body was a little hot, and he quietly removed the quilt and went into the bathroom... The next morning when Sigrid woke up, George was still sleeping beside her. She was surprised to find that the pajamas he was originally wearing on his body were missing! "Had he taken off his clothes in the middle of the night because it was too hot?" Sigrid was confused, but she was afraid of waking him up. Before he woke up, she quickly got out of bed and changed her clothes. During this process, she turned her head to look at George several times
Didn't she know how easy it was for one to misinterpret that look just now? She had seduced him early in the morning. She really was like a living aphrodisiac! George looked calm and said, "There will be a ring delivered for you today." "Ah? The wedding ring?" Sigrid remembered that George was going to change her ring. "Yes." "If you don't need me to be your shield in the future and we get divorced. Can I have this ring to sell?" Sigrid's eyes lit up. George's face suddenly darkened. "Okay." 'As long as you have the opportunity to divorce!' The greedy Sigrid ignored his expression and excitedly imagined the ring that he would send later. In the afternoon, the wedding ring was delivered. Sigrid looked at the exquisite ring. When she was about to put it on, George picked it up. His big hand took her small hand in his. He took off the original ring she had been wearing and slipped the custom-made ring onto her finger. "It's your turn."
"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
