Lindsay had bought an apartment with a layout of four bedrooms with one living room. Other than the relatively large master bedroom that came with an ensuite bathroom and balcony, the other three bedrooms were about the same size, each about 18 square meters. For a room without a bathroom or a dressing room, the 18 square meter bedroom was really not small at all. The whole room could still accommodate four two-meter-wide beds. Sometimes when she went out, she would be photographed because she was a celebrity. She requested to have a bigger dressing room. Thus, she opened up two of the adjacent rooms and turned them into a dressing room. The 36 square meters dressing room could be said to be very luxurious. A long time after she entered the dressing room, she finally picked a casual dress. Then, she took out a pair of canvas sneakers and put them on. She looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old student. If she went out with the two of them, people would think t
When Tianna and Eleven returned, they saw their parents and siblings eating the fried chicken already. "Wow! Today's dinner smells so good," Tianna's eyes lit up with excitement. After washing their hands, she quickly pulled Eleven to take a seat and began to eat. Sigrid used a knife and fork to cut the fried chicken into smaller pieces for the children to eat. George took a few bites and also fed his wife a few bites. After dinner, Sigrid thought that the meal would make her gain at least one or two pounds. She planned to do some exercises on the training ground the next day. She didn't want to turn herself from a princess to a little pig. Two days later, Lindsay went on a blind date again. As Lindsay entered the cafe, she looked around for her blind date. This was her second blind date, and she was calm. After meeting a polite blind date the last time, she didn't seem too keen to have another blind date because she had a hunch that the next guy mig
She forced a smile and said, "Mr. Alexander, I don't think we are suitable for each other. Thus, I won't delay your time any further." Mr. Alexander's smile faded after hearing that. He couldn't comprehend her reaction. "Why are we not suitable for each other? I think we are quite suitable! Besides, we can cultivate our feelings for each other slowly. I have complete confidence in you," Mr. Alexander said anxiously. "Miss Lewis, you may not know this. I earn at least two hundred million dollars a year. I also own a lot of luxury cars under my name. If you have time, I can take you to have a look," he continued. "However, I don't have confidence in myself," Lindsay said calmly. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry towards her blind date. It was really unlucky for her to meet such an odd person. It seemed that those people who shared their terrible blind date experiences on the Internet were not making things up. Such a self-righteous man really existed.
Lindsay had not expected a child to notice that detail and was a little embarrassed. However, she proceeded to explain, "That's because that uncle and I have differences in opinions. We had problems that had not been clarified yet." "What was the problem? Did you manage to talk it out later?" Simon lowered his head and remained silent. His son seemed to understand him very well. "I've made it clear already. Clevie, come and eat this. You'll grow taller after eating this because it's nutritious," Lindsay didn't want to talk about that weirdo anymore, especially when he said he would only get married after she gave birth to a son. It wasn't appropriate for a kid to know this. Lindsay didn't want him to be led astray by that weirdo! "It's fine. I have a balanced diet. Besides, my father is so tall. I couldn't possibly be short!" Cleveland puffed up his chest proudly. "Sure, you have a healthy body. You will be a handsome guy when you grow up." However,
"He also said that the money he earns is for his children to inherit. He needs more children so that he can choose an excellent one to be his heir. He made me look as if I was desperate to marry him. Don't you think that he's insane?" "Must I really give birth to a son for him before he marries me? Then, what if I were to give birth to a daughter? Wouldn't I be wasting my time? Why should I let him look down on me? No man in this world has the right to look down on me! I have not even complained about him!" Lindsay's petite face was flushed with anger. Not only did he look down on her, but he also looked down on all women in general. No wonder Mr. Alexander was rich, but had no marriage partner yet. Any girl with good conditions wouldn't accept or tolerate his attitude. If a girl could accept his attitude, she had to be after his money. However, he wouldn't like girls with ordinary conditions either. Gloria was shocked. How could there be such a weird man?
She was a little surprised when she picked up the phone. It wasn't Gloria calling, but Silvia, who was just good at nagging as she was. She quickly answered, "Hello, Silvia." "Lindsay! Lewis! I warned you that you should distance yourself from the opposite sex, didn't I?" Silvia seemed to be in a bad mood. Lindsay's heart skipped a beat. She asked hesitantly, "Silvia, what's wrong?" Did she get photographed when she was arguing with that weirdo from the blind date? She suddenly regretted going on that date. Why did she even agree to it in the first place? Not only did she end up with a weirdo, which affected her mood, now she'd gotten herself in trouble for it. "You went out to dinner with your neighbors, and the paparazzi snapped photographs of you again!" "Oh." Lindsay suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily it was just Simon and Cleveland in the picture. This was so much better than that weirdo, Mr. Alexander. The situation was not
He nodded and raised his eyebrows slightly. "It really is up to me to decide. If I don't permit it, who would dare to introduce any new jobs to you?" The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed. He was also looking to use this as a chance to tease her, his little angry cat. Wrenna wanted to refute him. But she realized what was going on. If Charles decided not to let her work, she could not take up any acting roles. This was because the entertainment company she signed a contract with belonged to the Miller family... She was so furious that she cried! At the time, he lied to her that if she signed the contract, he would be responsible for any penalties incurred in the event of a breach of contract. Moreover, with their relationship as husband and wife, he could give her even more resources! Those were all lies! He was a big fat liar! She remembered something her cousin said, that even the noblest of heroes have been falling for beautiful girls
She let out a long sigh. This would be her first kiss! However, no one would believe that her relationship history was a blank piece of paper. She still hasn't had her first kiss. Simon appeared calm. However, in truth, he was very unhappy and chose not to speak up. He was worried that Lindsay would misunderstand him. "I'm so stressed out! I don't know how to do this," Lindsay said meekly. "Let's begin!" The director said as he walked towards her. Lindsay accepted her fate and walked over. The director began to explain the scene to her. Before filming began, she quickly glanced at the man on the other side of the set. He just sat there and looked at her quietly, with an expressionless look on his face. Maybe she was just imagining things. In fact, he didn't care about her! Filming started. The male lead held her in his arms as their feelings for each other deepened. Next, they would kiss each other. Just as they were about to kiss,
"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
