Sigrid was enjoying a soak in the bathtub. Although the medicated bath had a strong medicinal smell, she did not find it unpleasant at all. While she was enjoying the bath with her eyes closed, she heard someone opening the bathroom door. She opened her eyes in confusion as she clearly remembered that she locked it before taking off her clothes. How could anyone come in? She blushed and felt a little angry when she suddenly remembered the person who had the bathroom key. Did George come in? The bathroom was huge. Walking in, you would find a large mirror and a washstand. Right behind the wall was the shower area. Walking past another wall was where the bathtub was located. Sigrid liked this bathroom very much. In fact, it can accommodate three people at the same time. After all, it was very spacious and separated by three walls. The bathroom did not seem small even though there were walls. Hearing the approaching footsteps, she was about to ta
George was frowning slightly while listening to the simple content beside him. He felt that Tianna was a little stupid. She had not even mastered the vowels and consonants yet. Why did the previous teacher say that she was brilliant? Did she have a different understanding of intelligence? If Sigrid knew what George was thinking at the moment, she would definitely emphasize the fact that Tianna was not even three years old. Tianna really had a good memory. She had learned to read the rest of the vowels and consonants in one night. Not only that, but she also learned to read the words and a few pages of the textbook. Some of the contents in the textbook were words and sentences that she did not understand. She did not just read them, but also asked Sigrid what the words meant. The mother and daughter studied for the whole night, which made George, who felt neglected, very unhappy! It was only until bedtime that he finally got to hug his wife and asked, "Why are
Sigrid suddenly felt a little scared when she came back after a day's training and saw George. He was on leave that day. Was he planning to do something to her no matter how tired she was now? Sigrid felt that what she thought was right when she remembered that this guy liked to bully her. "Come here." George waved at her. His behavior made Sigrid unhappy. She curled her lips in disgust and grunted, "It looks like you are waving at your pet." George slightly raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "So, are you coming over or not?" In the end, Sigrid still walked over to George. Putting her arms around his waist, she complained, "I'm so tired from the training today. I feel like my body isn't even mine." George caressed her soft hair and comforted, "I know. I've been watching you in the monitoring room today." Sigrid immediately questioned, "Do you also feel that the intensity of our training is too high? I don't think we are in the wea
A few days later, Sigrid began a new physical test after finishing her morning exercises. Although she had just trained for a week, because of the nutritious and protein-rich food she ate during this time, Sigrid felt that her body had become more toned. Looking at her physical data, although she had only lost a little more than half a kilogram, her body fat had decreased by two kilograms, and her skeletal muscle had increased by half a kilogram after a week of hell-like training. She took a closer look at parts which she had yet to reach the target, and felt that her body fat could still be a little less. It wasn't easy for women to gain muscle. If it weren't for the fact that she had been eating more protein-rich food during this week, she would not have gained muscle so fast. Eunice instantly felt a little envious after she looked through all the other people's data. Although they were all students of the weakling class, she was obviously the weakest am
He was definitely thinking about bullying her, and he would do so ruthlessly. What should she do? Her legs went weak when she thought of this. George frowned when he saw her standing frozen on the spot, and ordered, "Come here!" She quickly shook her head and refused. "No! I'm going to take a medicated bath first. I'm so tired!" Seeing that her face was still flushing red after the strenuous exercise, George couldn't help but think dirty thoughts. Sigrid pursed her lips and asked, "You are not in a hurry to have dinner, right? I'll take a bath first." Before George could answer her, Sigrid had already run straight into the bathroom. The corners of George's mouth curled into a smile as he watched her go into the bathroom. This stupid girl had forgotten to bring a change of clothes with her because she went in too anxiously. Sigrid only found that she did not bring a change of clothes after she came out of the bath. Sigrid bit her li
Thinking of this, Sigrid shook her head immediately. Even if Rose wanted to set Clyde up, she should not use George just because Clyde was not handsome. George raised his eyebrows when he noticed Sigrid suddenly shaking her head and asked, "What were you thinking about just now?" "No... Nothing..." Sigrid did not dare to tell him that she was imagining him sleeping with another man. She was afraid that she would have a hard time tonight if she told him about it. George did not know what she was thinking at all, but when he watched her shaking her head, he immediately realized that it definitely had something to do with him. It was definitely something that will infuriate him after hearing it. Otherwise, why was this woman so afraid? Sigrid glanced at him with a conflicted expression and uttered, "I'm feeling a little hungry. Let's get something to eat." George refused as he knew that she was trying to change the topic. He urged, "Tell me what you were thin
Elizabeth seemed to have not heard her and continued to head toward the front. Rose was furious when Elizabeth ignored her. Having said that, based on Elizabeth's temper, if she kept quiet like that, then it was very likely that her guess was correct. Thinking of this, the corners of Rose's mouth curled slightly, and she began to mutter, "You are still eating even though you have obviously lost your sense of taste. Is it because you don't want anyone to know about it? Oh, you probably don't want your family to know. That's right. If they knew, they'd definitely be worried. They might go around and look for someone to treat you if they found out. At that time, everyone would know about it as well." Elizabeth found Rose really annoying. Originally, she wanted to leave and pretend that she did not know Rose at all. Anyhow, it seemed that this method would not work. She stopped her footsteps and asked in a cold voice, "Aren't you getting engaged today? Why ar
Even though Elizabeth had this idea in her mind, she felt that it would not work. Even if she found a father for Sugar Bun and Biscuit in the future, she may not be satisfied with him. She frowned slightly and asked, "Since you're still alive, why didn't you come and find me?" Was he unaware that she had been waiting for him all this time? Elizabeth couldn't taste the food she ate every day, and she almost vomited when she ate it. Although she had always insisted that she believed Lucas was not dead, she actually did not have much hope in her heart since there was still no news of him for such a long time. Now, when she saw that he was still alive, she was happy, but at the same time angry. Why hadn't this man contacted her for the past few months? Elizabeth was incensed at the thought of this. She was planning to take this man back home and teach him a good lesson that night. How should she punish him? While Elizabeth was pondering, the
"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
