He knew that although she pretended that she didn't care, in fact, she was actually jealous when she knew he worked with Natasha that time. She pretended to be indifferent. However, in fact, she secretly liked him very much! If Ariel knew what he was thinking at the moment, she would be angry. However, at the moment, she couldn't say that she was afraid and didn't dare to sleep alone because of what had happened to Miley earlier. She could only say, "I just came here for a walk. I suddenly thought you were here as well. That's why I came to look for you." Christin didn't believe her at all. He didn't even tell her his room number. Since she knew it, she must have specifically checked it. Besides, didn't she come to sleep with him since it was already at this hour? Christin asked her to rest in the living room first and said, "Have a seat. I'll shower first. I'll be out soon!" Christin meant it when he said he'll be done really quickly. It only too
Christin put on his pajamas, looking hurt. He thought, "My girlfriend isn't interested in my body at all! Am I still a single man?" After Christin got dressed, he sat down beside her and asked, "Didn't you miss me? Why aren't you happy to see me naked?" "I don't miss you!" Ariel looked at him disdainfully. She indeed didn't miss Christin at all. After all, she had been working with him in the past few days using Natasha's identity. She even had to work overtime because he didn't cooperate well with her. She almost had to stand all the time without getting a rest. She secretly hated him. How could she miss him! She was only there at that time because she had been frightened by Miley's encounter. Miley was currently safe as Jonason was there to keep her company. As for her, she could only look to Christin to keep her safe. Although Christin was a little silly, he was quite agile. If they were in danger, she could hide behind him! Christin on
All of a sudden, she felt that Christin was no longer that annoying. After all, he was still very reliable in such desperate times! When Sigrid entered the class group chat, it was obvious that everyone in the group had also known about what happened. Everyone also decided to return ahead of schedule. They initially planned to have fun in the next few days. Thus, they would get a discount on everything available in the hotel. However, they decided to leave earlier. So, the hotel room's early bird promotion price obtained from the hotel earlier was not ideal. They also couldn't go to eat at the restaurants booked in advance. They even had to compensate for the reservation done in advance. However, none of these were as important as their lives. Everyone began to reschedule their tickets. Sigrid initially planned to reschedule the tickets too. However, many tourists were frightened too due to what had happened during the previous day. This included residents w
The time taken to shoot an episode for the variety show was seven days. It was to show celebrities wearing skimpier pieces of clothing while perspiring. Therefore, a lot of fans supported them after finding out that their idols had participated in this variety show. They would go to watch their idols showing their muscles. Jonason said, "Okay. I'll accompany you there then." Miley was a little hesitant and said, "Maybe not. I'm not allowed to bring any assistants with me for that variety show. I'll have to stay there for seven days." Jonason replied, "It doesn't matter. I have my own way." Miley didn't say anything else after that. The next day, Miley had wrapped up shooting for the perfume advertisements. Then, she went back home to pack her belongings. When her assistant came in, she saw that Jonason was also there. There were also obviously some men's belongings in Miley's room. She was stunned and asked. "You... You two are living together al
These little devils didn't understand! They only knew that their brother was attracting their sister's attention. Neither of them could lose! Tianna got angry. She pulled back her hands, stood up, walked around Candy, and fell into Sigrid's arms. "Mom, I need to watch TV." "Alright." Sigrid pushed Candy away. She also scooted over, so she could keep an eye on the children if they started fighting. Oreo and Candy looked at each other and began to quarrel. No one knew what they were quarreling about. Sigrid frowned and patted them gently, "Kids, stop quarrelling! Watch the TV quietly!" The two children couldn't understand what was on TV. They frowned and looked at their sister, trying to get some comfort. However, Tianna didn't care about them. She just stared at the screen. An episode from this show went on for two hours. The first scene was about Miley and a few other artists. Four men and women were present. After everyone changed into the
George had previously taught her to use the gym equipment at home. She could only lift 20 kilograms. However, Elizabeth could lift 60 kilograms... What on Earth? Was he that amazing? "Mommy, this seems fun." Tianna pointed at the screen with her fingers. "It's the same as the one you had before. I want to play too!" "You'll have to wait till you grow taller before you can play with it. That is not a small machine." Tianna was immediately disappointed. Sigrid pinched her arm. She was merely a child, where would she get the strength to work out on a small machine? Miley had been running for half an hour on the treadmill after the training ended an hour ago. She was sweaty by the time she was done. Jonason gave her a towel to wipe her sweat and said, "Take a shower after half an hour. Are you tired?" Miley nodded and didn't say anything. Jonason noticed that she seemed to be very tired. He said, "You're too weak. When the trainin
Sigrid was sad that the show only aired once a week. That would not be enough! She was excited to see what was going to happen next! "Mom, why does Uncle Jonason want to carry her so much?" Tianna asked curiously. "The other people always encouraged each other to run by themselves. Our teacher said that no matter how hard it gets, we have to keep going!" Sigrid smiled awkwardly. "He thinks that she is not healthy enough, and he is worried that she might faint." Tianna nodded her head. If that was the case, she would be able to understand why their situation was different from what the teacher said. That night, Miley, who had just run a few kilometers, laid on her bed after returning to her room. Her whole body was weak and aching. She would definitely feel sore the next day! It wasn't just her feet. She had to move her arms while running too! Her arms were going to be sore too. She was afraid that she would be so tired that she would pass o
When Jonason saw that Miley was in good spirits, he asked, "How are you feeling today?" "I feel good. You did a good job yesterday." Miley said. Although he said the previous night that she could be a little more flexible, he still helped her out. Apart from being inappropriate at times, he was good in other aspects. Jonason saw that she was smiling at him, and felt that he had made the right move. He had been thinking whether he should have bullied Miley before she took a bath the night before. She would feel more relaxed after the bath anyway, and it would benefit him as well. However, on second thoughts, he was afraid to leave any traces in the bed and to be discovered by others, so he gave up on the idea. After helping her stretch and relax, he noticed that her tone softened when she talked to him. It also seemed like his actions had given her a good impression. "I will continue to help her tonight, so that I can prepare for all kinds of po
"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
