Asher's face suddenly darkened. He tried to recall what he had just said now. He wondered, what did he say that has caused such a huge misunderstanding?It was such a great shame for a man!He suppressed his annoyance. Before he could explain himself, his keen ears heard some footsteps coming from outside the ward.That was the kind of noise which leather shoes makes on the floor. It was impossible for doctors and nurses to wear leather shoes while they are working.Moreover, the patients were weak. Even though they were wearing leather shoes, they would never make such heavy steps.Then it could only be ...Asher's eyes were filled with a lot of wickedness.He raised his head and looked at Hailey. There was an inscrutable look in his dark eyes."I was just joking" Hailey realized that she had just said something wrong and quickly explained , "I will take back what I just said. Don't take it seriously"Before she finished her words, Asher suddenly stepped forward and approached her gr
Hailey widened her eyes and asked, "Are you kidding me?"But when she thought about it carefully, she realized that Asher did imply about his intentions just now.How many times have they met? They have only known each other in less than a month.How could he propose to her?Hailey was a little confused. She suddenly felt that he was standing too close to her. His hot breath was blown into her face, making her very uncomfortable. She unconsciously took a step backwards only to find out that there was a wall behind her. She did not even know when he put his arms at either side of her body, stopping her from leaving.She frowned, raised her eyes and said calmly."Mr Lorenzo, let's talk about it nicely. Please put your hands away first ""Okay"Asher nodded and stepped backwards.Hailey realized that he was acting strangely. She turned around and was about to walk away from him. However, she tripped on something and leaned over.Just as she thought she would fall to the ground, a strong
Hailey was filled with emotions at that moment. There was anger, resentment, and despair. She could not bring herself to reconcile with what has happened.Nikolai looked at her as the emotions suddenly flashing across her eyes, and his heart suddenly ached....it seemed that he had lost something very important to him and he could not hold unto it no matter how he tried...He was eager to grab unto something.Suddenly, he held the back of her head and kissed her recklessly.His kiss was passionate and aggressive, just like he was trying to posses her and made her his own. He did not even allow her time to catch her breath.The pain in her abdomen intensified gradually and both Hailey's hand become more colder.She had a bad feeling, so she bit his lips. Before she could speak, Nikolai stared at her viciously, "Did you bite me?"He appeared harsh ànd overbearing. Hailey was sensitive and she felt something at that moment. She covered her abdomen and took a step back, "Don't come near me
He thought that she does not want to say anything and just want to remain quiet. But just now, she talked to Sky in front of him.It was not that she does not want to talk, but she chose not to talk to him.The realization made his frien deepened."What exactly do you want?" He looked at her and asked coldly.But there was no response.He was frustrated. He clenched his fist and pursed his lips tightly, his jaw tightened, revealing how deeply frustrated he was.Hailey lowered her head. Her messy black hair hung down from her forehead, blocking her sight and most of her face, but she still appeared weak and sick. Nikolai turned around irritably, opened the door of the ward and went out.He stood in the corridor outside the ward and lit a cigarette with frustration. He appeared gloomy in the midst of smoke.What on earth did she want?He could neither see through her nor understand her.He suddenly thought of what he said last night.He had said, "Why should I suppress my desire for a
Agnes heard a teasing voice behind her. She immediately hide her anger and looked up, "Who is it?"She turned around and saw him clearly. She could not help but squint, "President Leonard, what is wrong with you? Did Simeon beat you up?"Asher's cheeks were still swollen and there were bruises around his chin and nose. There were even shocking scars on his neck. It was very obvious that he was beaten up badly.But with his family background, who dared to beat him up?Agnes was slightly puzzled."Are you trying to figure out who beat me up?" Asher appeared playful and he chuckled. "Coke's family is the only family who has a great influence over Manila city. In fact, Nikolai Coke was the one who beat me up"As he spoke, he approached Agnes gradually. He appeared overbearing and strong, even with a tinge of savageness.Agnes was slightly frightened. She grabbed the armrest of her wheelchair and said coldly, "Why did you tell me this?""What do you think?" Asher suddenly bent down and put
Hailey was lying on the hospital bed looking blankly ahead. She was like that for the entire afternoon and she didn't even bother to read the book before her.Nikolai sat on tbr sofa in the ward with his lips pursed. He seemed gloomy. He wanted to know what the matter was with her, but she remained speechless, as if she had lost her desire to speak.Only when Sky came in to check on her, she would answer his question in a low voice. Other than that, she appeared like a soulless puppet. She seemed emotionless and dull, just like she had lost her desire to live.She had been like that for a few days now.Nikolai was engulfed in an endless fear."What is wrong with her?"Nikolai stood in sky's office and asked coldly.Sky had no good intention of Hailey's husband. He even felt that everything Hailey is going through is caused by him.He wrote in tbe medical report indifferently and said coldly, "She has signs of premature birth, and she needs to rest in bed. I've told you many times abou
Hailey's fingers moved a little. Before she could struggle, Nikolai grabbed her wrist."Don't move!"She heard his deep voice. She pursed her lips and remained motionless. She deliberately blocked everything out, but it did not mean that she could not hear or see anything. She heard distinctively, the conversation between Nikolai and Agnes just now.He said that he has never proposed to Agnes. He said that there was no possibility between him and Agnes.More than a month ago, he had tossed the divorce agreement because of Agnes, but now, he cruelly abandoned Agnes.What on earth is he trying to do?Hailey could not figure it out. And she did not dwell in it neither. She pursed her lips quietly and remained in a daze.The car stopped at the gate of the mansion. She turned around and found out that it was the house where she had been living for the past three years. It should have been her and Nikolai's house after wedding, but in the end, she lived for three years alone.The door was p
Just as she was thinking about it, Mrs George's voice became gradually louder as she came closer to the room. "Ohh Nikolai, we couldn't trouble you anymore. Since you and Hailey are divorced now, I will take care of her. I came here after listening to Hailey's father. We intend to take her home. It's better if she rests at home with her family. Isn't that right, Nikolai?""We are not divorced!""Aren't you divorced? Hailey told me that you have signed the divorce agreement. It's only a matter of time before it gets settled. Don't you have time to get the divorce license? It's doesn't matter. Let Hailey's father run the errand and help you get the license from the officials. It's not a big deal""We are not going through any divorce anymore.""Why? Do you mean to say that what Agnes said is true? Don't you want to be with Agnes anymore? Nikolai, Agnes has wasted a lot of time on you. Now you are behaving like this. Don't you feel sorry for Agnes?""I will give Agnes an explanation.""I
The fiasco started by Asher ended after Shirley ruined her own vocal cord.Hailey knew that she had done the best she could since she had sent people to take care of Asher. At this moment, the most important thing for her was to live her own life.******* ********"Zaney, honey, your momma is pregnant...you will have a little sibling soon, okay" Mrs Coke was the first to whisper into Zane's ears."Yahhhhh, grandma" Zane grinned. He rushed to hug Hailey, his little hands wrapped around Hailey's hips as he nuzzled her nose against Hailey's belly.Mrs Coke smiled.Nikolai thanked Doc Cyril and walked out of the office, Mrs Coke was the one who held Hailey while Nikolai had Zaney in his arms.It was indeed a beautiful sight!The most beautiful scene Nikolai had ever imagined••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••2months After....These past two months were the best for Hailey. She had a good reconciliation with her father and her lost Angie, Angie got serious mental issues and even the doctors c
After taking Hailey out of the national registration department, Nikolai did not bring her home directly, he drove her straight to the hospital.Although Asher said that pill would only make Hailey lose her voice temporarily and had no other side effects, Nikolai was still worried.Besides, Hailey had been kidnapped by Prince Peter. He did not know if they had hurt her, so he had to let the doctor check her carefully before he could be rest assured.When she got in the car and found that it was not the way home, Hailey still could not utter a word.She could only sit in the shotgun seat and keep waving her hand at Nikolai who was driving to show thar except for her voice she was very healthy without any discomfort.But how could Nikolai listen to her? He only told her that she should take a rest in the car first and then drive her to the hospital for an examination before taking her to a good meal.Hailey was annoyed but she couldn't say anything. She could only stare at Nikolai and c
"No, Hailey, don't listen to her nonsense,I really didn't so it."Asher was very anxious at the moment. He tried to hold Hailey's hand but Nikolai beat him to it.Nikolai's pulled Hailey into his embrace. His tone was cold and indifferent as he said, "Let's not discuss the matter of framing me for the time being. However, if Hailey is unable to say anything, what did you do to her?"In the beginning, Hailey gave him no reply, making Nikolai assume that she was disappointed in him.But since Shirley came, Hailey looked agitated yet she still remained silent which made Nikolai feel suspicious.He was completely sure that Hailey was drugged. When Asher started explaining yo Hailey, she dud not even question him. She simply had a flustered and disappointed look in her eyes.Nikolai knew Hailey well. He knew that it was not Hailey's true reactions unless she could not speak at all.Hailey who had been protected tightly in Nikolai's embrace sighed helplessly. She looked at Asher with deeper
The four of them met in a private room in the private club. A man who looked like Doug sat at the head of the table without saying a word. He had quiet a bit of imposing manner. That was the George's family second uncle- Hayes George. "Hayes, I'm here with my two children." Doug frowned. During those years, that brother of his had been in noy much contact with him and his brothers all the time. He did not expect that they would meet in such a way. Hayes George glanced a both zephira and Doug coldly. When he looked at Hailey, he said coldly, "Hailey right? You'd better not show off your ability given that you're young. Even if you've just entered the company, you should still act sensibly" The incident about Nikolai of the Cokes family and Hailey of the Georges cooperation had been discussed vehemently in the upper class in Manila city. Everyone knew that Nikolai had used a great sum of money to gain a beauty's affection. If it was not for Nikolai's powerful tactics and the support
Austin compromised. Seeing that, Hailey looked cold but she did not push him. She said, "Then let's deal with Xyla first. Although Xyla is a member of our design apartment she has been in the company for five years. During this period of time, she has been using other's design drafts. Thus time around she has brought trouble to our George's cooperation. I decided to dismiss her. Do you have any opinions?" Even if she could not deal with Austin directly, she still had a way to deal with Xyla. In addition, that was a good opportunity. Since zephira had a soft personality as her sister, Hailey must be tough in the company and show her strength to others. Thus, others would not think that they were easy to be bullied and do the same thing as Austin again. The others witnessed how Hailey acted in a slick manner and suppressed Austin in a reasonable manner. Now that she had said something more, the others would only be convinced by her. So they said one after another, "I don't have any o
Reinvigoration - the most perfect work of art would always go through twists and turns.The signature was the name of the cooperation between the Xavier family and George's cooperation.Mer champ looked at Xyla in disbelief. When did the design department hand in such a design draft to the Xavier family? How come he dud not know anything about that?Xyla did not bring her cell phone to that conference room. At that time, she began to panic when she saw Mr champs expressionBefore she could ask, Hailey looked at Xyla with a smile and instructed. "Take this pen drive and insert it to the computer over there"Xyla had a plan in her mind, so Hailey must have her own purpose in doing so. Otherwise why would Hailey hide such a thing from the design department? Hence she did not obey Hailey's order for a long time.Hailey raised her eyebrows but she did not lose her temper. She inserted the pen drive into the computer and turned on the audio software. A woman's voice appeared on the screen.
Angie had taken the medicine for sobering up before she drank the wine, which was all to make Xyla lower her vigilance and disguise.Xyla replied directly, "Do what? Does anyone know that I plagiarized? Think about it. I have to thank you for providing me with the design drafts. Otherwise, why would I be sitting in my current position and ruin that damn Yona reputation?""I'm telling you! If you're smart, you should rely on mr. You'd better hand over the design drafts to me obediently. When Hailey is driven out of the company tomorrow, I will be the manage. I will not pursue the matter that you betrayed me."Upon hearing that, Angie frowned slightly. How could Xyla accurately explain that she would drive Hailey out of the company during the following day? Angie could not help but ask, "Why did you say that?"Xyla was almost fully drunk because if the alcohol so she did not reply to that anymore. "Haha..."She fell asleep with her head tilted.Angie stopped the recording and sent the a
When Xyla was going downstairs, although she was still not feeling well, there was a hint of joy on her face. But she only left after she thought of what he told her. He claimed that Hailey did not provide any design which the Xavier family was satisfied with. And when she thought about Angie, she had a plan in her mind.In tbe past few days, she did not see any work of Angie, but who knee if Angie had cooperation with Hailey in private?Her heart was filled with schemes. Angie's appearance had long disrupted her state of mind.Upon entering the office, Xyla suddenly heard Hailey's voice."In order to welcome Angie, I will treat you to dinner today. Let's have a meal"As soon as the manager spoke, everyone naturally agreed.Xyla smirked. Unexpectedly, someone gave her a chance just when she had a scheme in her mind.Angie was a lightweight drinker. She would say anything after drinking a few glasses of wine.When it was time to get off work, she silently tidied up the design paper on
After that day, Hailey's relationship with Nikolai was improved rapidly.Nikolai began to contact Hailey rapidly by using the communication tool though he was an introvert. He mostly greeted Hailey good morning but Hailey was quite warmed to that.She had to admit that she felt something for Nikolai again.But as for how the relationship between the two of them would develop in the future, she still had some hesitation. The past was still deep pain for her, and when she thought about that, she was grieved.She could not have more contact with him for the sake of the hurt Zaney had suffered.Yes, that was it. Now, she still had cooperation with him because of the project of the diamond factory. She could not just fall with him directly.She thought that she might need some timr to figure out what she was thinking.Hailey was in a dilemma, but the daily work had exposed her heart which wavered constantly.On several occasions, she forgave Yvonne's careless mistake and carefully helped h
