Seeing him reading the text, Sigrid silently hoped that the page he was reading did not have any mention of any erotic events. There was no way this book would be completely about erotic things, right? Maybe he wouldn't see anything... However, he frowned and looked at her strangely. Sigrid was speechless. "Oh, no, Am I that unlucky? Did he read it?" she thought. "Ahem, books like that are all the same. There are some things that are erotic in some parts. This is also why they're interesting and attract readers," Sigrid said awkwardly. "Are you sure?" he asked. Sigrid was speechless again. She didn't know exactly which part he'd read. Was it one of the erotic parts? Sigrid was a little hesitant. Just when she was about to go and read the page, George stared into her eyes and said, "I didn't expect you would enjoy these things. I'll buy more for you." Oh, no! She exclaimed inwardly, "It's a misunderstanding!" Just as she was in a dil
Sigrid quickly grabbed on to her clothes tightly. "No, I'm very comfortable in my clothes! Don't undress me!" She knew exactly what was on his mind. If he undressed her, they would be doing it in the middle of the day. However, no matter how hard she resisted, she was still no match for George's strength. She could sleep only when he had finished his "fun". Cursing him inwardly, Sigrid couldn't imagine spending the rest of her life with this man caressing her every night. It was torturous! How could he be full of vigor? She had to think twice about whether she could spend her whole life with George. She felt that her fragile body wouldn't be able to bear it! When she woke from her nap, it was already noon. Sigrid sat up and dressed herself. She noticed that at some point, the box that she'd kicked away had been moved to the bedside, the erotic novel placed on the nightstand by George's side of the bed. Sigrid went over and curiously flipp
Sigrid stared at the small boat as it strolled across the stream. She was starving, resisting the urge to take someone else's dishes from their boats. Just as she was about to pester the waiter for their food, a boat stopped in front of their booth and made a beeping sound. Sigrid's eyes lit up seeing the takoyaki placed on the boat. She went and took the dish over, pressed a small button on the boat and sent it back. She then put the dish on the table and said, "The experience here is really something." "It's nothing compared to the time you called me brother-in-law," George bantered. "Eat up and stop flirting with me." Despite chiding so in her mind, Sigrid only glared at him with a flushed face and quickly lowered her head, eating the takoyaki. There was not much mustard added, and the taste was just right without any pungent smell. Considering that some customers liked more mustard to fit their palate, the restaurant had thoughtfully prepar
Sigrid stared at George, who was still eating and asked, "Did you not tell my friend that I've already cosplayed for you? She just asked me when I was going to cosplay." "I forgot." The day after he had seen her cosplay, he was still too overjoyed and his mind had been filled with images of her. How could he possibly remember to tell Rachel? Sigrid was upset and glared at him. "I'll tell her myself." She then turned back to her phone and typed a message, [I did it a long time ago, he just forgot to tell you about it.] Rachel immediately replied, [Dislike mode activated.] Followed by that was another message, "Do you take me as a fool? How could you of all people wear that kind of outfit? That's equivalent to throwing yourself into a lion's den! Without me persuading you, you wouldn't be dumb enough to wear it!" Sigrid was speechless at this. She gave a deadpan respond, "Sorry to disappoint, I was indeed dumb enough to wear it." Rachel: [D
His thigh was very well-built and firm. As though getting scalded, Sigrid withdrew her hand quickly. "Why did you stop touching me?" George raised his eyebrows and stared at her with his fiery gaze. He looked as if he wanted to swallow her whole. Sigrid froze for a moment, and then quickly explained, "I'm not touching you." It was obvious that she was trying to hit him, but he took it in such a perverted way. Sigrid glared at him, and then George grabbed her hand and rested it on his thigh again. "Go ahead and feel it. You can feel anywhere you want." Sigrid was dumbfounded. She couldn't imagine what perverted thoughts were on his mind at this moment. "It's boring just to sit here. Let's find something else to do." After saying this, he lowered his head and kissed her. Sigrid felt that he was particularly horny on this day and he couldn't stop kissing her. She pushed him away but he misunderstood it as rejection and bit her lips instead to quie
When she thought of people seeing her in the hot spring with only a bikini, Sigrid felt inexplicable anger towards George. She assumed George had prepared this bikini for her to show off his woman. For men like him with high status, they liked to show off their significant other. As long as a girl had a slender figure and a good-looking face, a man could and would show her off because they thought that if they had a beautiful girl by their side, they themselves would naturally look even better. She didn't mind dressing up and putting on makeup on occasions such as attending dinner, but this was not any special occasion. Even if she were to attend a beauty pageant, this bikini was way too revealing for her. She was reluctant to wear it in front of everyone in a hot spring. Sigrid felt so wronged that she had almost cried. She tugged George's bathrobe and said, "Can't we just go back? Or at least change this swimsuit? It's too revealing. I don't want to be s
"I... I was just trying to confuse you. I know you don't like me!" She turned her face away in embarrassment and tried to avoid eye contact. However, he raised her chin and turned her face back to him. He leaned closer and said, "Stop playing dumb!" "Who's playing dumb? Don't think that you can force me to have your child just because you insist on it." Sigrid shook his hand away and frowned, pretending to be mad. George had almost laughed out loud. So, she just acting boldly because she knew he liked her? She needed to improve on her acting skills. "If you keep acting like this, believe it or not, I'll force you." He narrowed his eyes and pretended to be furious. However, because he had been in the business world all year round, he had a kind of aura that was different from ordinary people when he frowned. His expression of anger was terrifying and Sigrid was shaken to her core. "No... You have to give me some time to prepare. Not everyone is like you," s
The temperature of the hot spring was not particularly high, but it was still a little hot during the summer. After taking a bath for a while, Sigrid's milky skin began to flush, and a few beads of sweat appeared on both her forehead and chest. George wiped them away for her. Seeing her blush, he could not help pinching her cheeks. "You blush really easily." Sigrid raised her hand and pinched his face too, saying, "I'm not as shameless as you." She had never seen him blush. George raised his eyebrows. If he had blushed as easily as her, how was he supposed to go for business meetings? "If you continue to pinch me, believe it or not, I'll f*ck you right now!" His hand began to touch her soft waist as he threatened. Her waist was very slender. Perhaps because her waist was sensitive, she had always wanted to avoid him touching her sensitive area and was in his arms even without notice. However, because of this little movement, his breathing gradually became heavie
"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
