When William's face touched Valeria's lips, time stood still and they stared at each other. After a while, a tingle of red flew from Valeria's face. She retreated a few steps back in a hurry and stood still, in a flurry. "I didn't mean it. Why did you turn around? You did it on purpose, didn't you? You're really shameless!" William laughed, "Can you tell me why I'm shameless?" "You are!" Valeria blushed and her lips seemed to retain some of the heat from his face. What a strange feeling. Her heart was thumping. Would young Master William think she had kissed him on purpose? She had to explain, "Let me tell you, I am not interested in you. I just accidentally touched you. Don't think too much." "Did you accidentally touch my face with your lips? Isn't your explanation too far-fetched? I'll forgive you, so you don't have to explain." "Isn't he too shameless?" She thought, "I'm just making it clear." William asked slowly, "Don't you th
In the Hospital of B City, rapid footsteps sound in the quiet corridors of the VIP senior ward. Dressed in casual attire, William strode through the corridor with four bodyguards and headed straight for Master Howard's ward. Outside the ward stood Master Howard's bodyguards and caretakers. When they suddenly saw William, they were so excited. Especially Tracy Baker, the caretaker of Master Howard, came over and said, "Young Master William! Young Master William, you are back!" "Hm! What's going on with my dad?" "He's not very well. He has been talking about you all the time. It's good that you're back. The sight of you will make him half better." As she spoke, she pushed open the door of the ward. Master Howard, who was lying on the bed, heard the voice and was trying to sit up. William quickly walked in and stretched out to hold Master Howard, "Dad, you've lost a lot of weight!" "My child, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? If I hadn'
Driving back to the Lake View Nest, William saw Valeria watching TV in the living room. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Valeria did not turn back and continued to stare intently at the TV. William walked over to her with a smile and took him seated by her side, "Why didn't you answer my call?" Without a word, Valeria just continued to stare at the TV screen. "I'm talking to you. Why don't you answer me?" William reached out to touch her hand. Valeria threw off his hand, "I don't want to talk to you. Get out of my sight!" "What makes you so angry? Is it about my discharge? I'm trying to surprise you." Then he pulled a bunch of flowers from behind his back and handed them to Valeria with a big smile on his face, "Thank you for taking care of me when I was sick. It's a thank-you gift." Valeria stared at the bright flowers in his hand. So beautiful and fresh the rose was! "A bunch of flowers for me? Is this an apology?" She
Ashley sent a message and waited. For quite a long time, there was no response. But Mason never called back. Ashley began to waver, "Mom, why didn't he call back?" "Don't panic. He is probably going to tell Elizabeth and discuss it with her before making a decision." "Do you really believe that I can save the situation for being pregnant? It sounds impossible." "There are other plans. Your pregnancy is just a testing to tell whether Elizabeth cares about the baby inside or not. If she does, we can move on to the next step. If not, we need to think of another way." "What does it have to do with Elizabeth? I thought we should pay attention to Mason's reaction?" Ashley quickly cut in. "What are you thinking! Do you have any idea that Mason is now subservient to Elizabeth? Elizabeth is now his God, you get that?" Julie gave her a stern look and continued. "Elizabeth couldn't treat her only nephew, Mason better. While the Howard family i
The two talked freely in the room. Elizabeth' gentleness had been replaced with hatred now. "I heard that William has sneaked back to see Master Howard." "What? It is impossible. How did he know that Master Howard was ill?" Mason got a startle. "I think Master Howard called him. Master Howard wants to promote William this time. Like your uncle said, he's going to get this inept playboy into two key departments of the company." "What is Master Howard doing?" Mason sneered. "Everyone knows that William is a playboy who can do nothing but play with women." "But it doesn't change the fact that he is a man of noble birth." Elizabeth was filled with anger. "Master Howard must have known something that he has begun to watch out your uncle. Your uncle is in a hard time now, and the same to us. You have to be more careful recently and don't do anything stupid." "No, I won't. As for Valeria, I've already arranged for someone else to deal with it. I won't
"Ashley is pregnant?" Valeria looked at the message from Ali for a moment. She subconsciously replied, "How did you know that?" "I saw it in the company chatting group. Ashley was seen doing a pregnancy test at the hospital. It is said that she was pregnant. Valeria, did you and Mason break up for good?" "Yeah, there is no way we can be together again." Valeria replied. All was over between them when Mason, in a self-righteous way, betrayed her to be with Ashley and helped to bully her. She had given up Mason, but the news of Ashley's pregnancy still hurt her. She was in love with Mason for real back then and even dreamed about marrying him and having babies. But everything changed now. "Don't be sad, Valeria. He cheating on you in your dating period proves that he is not your Mr. Right. You deserve someone better!" Sad still. She sighed heavily and put away the phone. William stared at Valeria without moving and he thought, "The cut
Mason didn't mean to eavesdrop. He was waiting for a client in the car originally and didn't expect to see Valeria coming this way with some staff. Then he saw them laughing and joking. Happy was the woman and handsome was the man. Mason was so jealous that he almost went crazy. He betrayed Valeria and went out with Ashley not just because of what Ashley said. It all because of a secret in his heart. From the very beginning of their relationship, he knew exactly why Valeria loved him. Because Valeria thought he was her savior when he knew he wasn't. Mason yearned for her true love instead of being regarded as someone who had saved her. Valeria was so good and simple. Mason had been suffering all the time. He did not withstand that Valeria would leave him without hesitation once she found out the truth. So when Ashley set him off by saying that Valeria was fooling around with other men and didn't love him, he blew up. He felt that Valeri
In the department of gynecology and obstetrics of the hospital, Ashley kept checking her phone from time to time nervously on the bench. Yesterday Mason promised to accompany her to the hospital for a pregnancy check, but she had been waiting for an hour and a half and still hadn't seen Mason. Mason wouldn't stand her up, would he? Worried, she calls Mason, and Elizabeth answers the phone, "There's a traffic jam. Just wait a little longer. We'll be there soon." Ashley didn't expect that Elizabeth would accompany Mason in person. She knew very well that she was not pregnant. It would be much hard for her to fool Elizabeth. So Ashley was worried that her secret would be found out. As soon as she hung up, Elizabeth turned and looked at Mason frowning, "What's wrong with you? You are supposed to be in the hospital while you are still in bed now." "I got drunk last night.!" Mason rubbed his forehead. "Why? The client didn't require you to drink last
