In the next few days, I had been living in Dave's apartment in Unit No.1.Although Dave asked me to sleep with him every night, he didn't have sex with me.When Dave went to work, maids would usually be around. If I didn't call them, they wouldn't come out so I took the opportunity to search inside his place but I didn't find any trace indicating Lita had visited.Could it be that although I had seen Lita show up in this residential quarter several times, she hadn't come to Dave's house?But then who did she visit here?After making sure she hadn't come to Dave's place, I decided to go out the next day to find a new work related to my field.That morning, I got up and waited for Dave to go out. However, Dave sat at home after breakfast. It seemed he didn't want to leave at all."Aren't you going to work?" I sat at the dining table across from him and asked.Dave elegantly touched the corner of his mouth with a tissue and looked at me. Unexpectedly, with a gentle expression on his face
This island wasn't a really big one. Its area was almost two times that of the whole residential quarter of Unit No.1.The restaurant on the island was next to the beach.When Dave and I were sitting for dinner, I noticed the sun setting little by little and finally, disappeared above the sea.Such a scene was pretty.After dinner, Dave took me to his room so I could change into the clothes he had prepared for me in advance.I flipped through the clothes and found that the clothes he had prepared were either bikinis or semi coated sunlight proof clothing..."These clothes...""I..."Carrying a bikini top in my hand, intending to question Dave, he hugged me from behind.He gently kissed my hair and said in an ambiguous tone, "Besides the ones guarding the island, I am the only one here. Feel free to wear it. Only I will see you."Although I didn't want to wear a bikini, I surely couldn't get used to the weather on the island with my current outfit.I could only choose a bikini which wa
I opened my eyes and looked at the big house, thinking of what Blue had said over the phone.Dave was a businessman.These capitalists were always keen on profit.He once promised he wouldn't do anything to Haick Design but he had gone back on his words.Why do I feel that what Blue said has nothing to do with him?What's more, Blue said Haick's mother had got a sum of money from the Mitaka Group...I was restless and the temperature in the house was low so I changed my clothes and sat in the garden downstairs.When I was staring at the sereny in a daze, I saw Oogway passing by from a distance. He was walking to his apartment.Just as I was hesitating whether to say hello to him or not, he turned his head and happened to see me.At first, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes but soon it was replaced by a smile.He came up to greet me and asked, "Why are you here?""I have nothing to do, so I came out to enjoy the senery."I was lying.Oogway seemed to see through me at a glance.
Kim's house was as messy as usual.I went straight to the kitchen to make her something first. However, as soon as I opened the refrigerator, a foul smell came out and water dripped out too.I tilted my head and glimpsed at the plug next to the refrigerator. The poor plug was lying quietly on the ground.I couldn't help complaining, "Are you sure you want to cook with the ingredients in your refrigerator?"Kim came over and saw the messy scene in the refrigerator. She patted her forehead and said, "I forgot to plug the refrigerator in the socket.""I'll clean up the refrigerator for you.""No need. no need. Let's go out to eat. I'll hire someone from the housekeeping company to clean it up tomorrow."Kim pulled me out as I got a cloth and was about to clean up the dirty water on the ground.She brought me to a spicy hot pot store near her house. The owner was an old lady.Since it was early spring, the weather was very cold so there wasn't any guest at all.As soon as Kim entered the
Dave rolled his eyes at Desmond and said, "You are so nosy. Go and drive the car.""Yes, yes!" Although Desmond promised readily, he looked at Kim's back reluctantly.Desmond sent us home. At the residential quarters, Dave took me upstairs. Along the way, he kept a straight face.I was nervous as I wondered why he was angry.Was it because I misunderstood him this afternoon or because I didn't pick up his calls?I was even more worried about what would happen at home...When the door was opened, I looked inside feeling a little scared.I wondered if Dave would lock me up.Or...While I was randomly guessing, Dave stretched out his hand and pulled me into the house directly.I subconsciously apologized, "I'm sorry, I..."Before I could finish my words, Dave suddenly hugged me.He hugged me tightly.I was stunned as my body pressed against Dave's chest.At this moment, I could only hear the sound of his strong heartbeat.It wasn't until a few seconds later that I heard Dave's voice abo
Anger overwhelmed me in an instant."Shut up!" I was so angry that I clutched the plastic bag containing eggs in my hand and swung it directly. I smashed it on Helen's head.Bang!Because of my great strength, all the eggs got broken.Blended with the broken eggshell, both the egg white and the egg yolk flowed out of the gap of the plastic bag, pasting on Helen's hair and face.She was stunned. She then loosened her grip and I pulled my hair out of her hand and said coldly, "All of this is Lita's fault. She reaps what she has sown and it has nothing to do with me.""Get back, go with us, and apologize to Lita. Tell the media that Nicki's drawings were forged by you!"As soon as I took a step, Thomas held my hand.He was a man and his strength was none compared to mine."No way. The drawings aren't fake." I looked at Thomas and found him ridiculous, "Lita is your daughter. Don't you know her capability? She's so stupid. Don't you know what kind of works she can design?""Don't talk non
Helen wanted to stop us but Thomas stopped her. After all, even though they could offend me, they couldn't afford to offend Dave.Dave took me into the residential quarter and naturally wanted to walk in the direction of his house.I stood where I was and asked him, "Dave Mitaka, were you by Lita's side last night?""Yes. Yesterday, she..." When Dave said this, he paused for a moment. It seemed he was deliberating on something.Then he added, "She committed suicide. Fortunately, a passerby found her in time and saved her life.""If she commits suicide every night, would you accompany her every night?" I asked with a mocking smile then added, "Why won't you, she's your fiancée anyway."Knowing that I was angry, Dave didn't speak or respond. He just stretched out his hand wanting to hold me in his arms.I took a step back and dodged him, asking, "Dave Mitaka, how's our child's search going? Is it as she said?""I've sent someone to look into it. There's no evidence yet." Dave said.I di
I hurried to the stairway next to the elevator, feeling quite confused in my heart.The Hospital was the best private hospital in the City. How come Lita could find someone to be her accomplice in such a place?I became more and more convinced that Lita was not a simple person.I was sure Dave would come here, I waited downstairs to see how serious Lita's illness would be after a while.Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Dave arrived.He walked in from outside quickly and headed for Lita's ward.I followed behind him secretly and looked through the small window of the door, only to find Lita was completely different from what I had seen earlier.With an infusion bottle hanging above her body, she was lying on the bed with a pale face.Poor Dave! As a great president, he was fooled by a woman.I left the Hospital.That evening, it wasn't until about 10 p.m. that Dave came home. The smell of disinfectant on his body indicated clearly where he had gone.I took the initiative to hel
Soon, we arrived at the floor where Jessica's ward lay. When we went over, a nurse happened to come out of it. Upon seeing us, she greeted Oogway respectfully, "Dean Oogway.""Yes." Oogway nodded and asked, "How's Miss Jessica?"After Jessica was transferred here, Oogway completed the registration for her under the name of Jessica Drake.As for this, I didn't raise any objections about it. Because in my opinion, the Newman Family no longer regarded her as a family member.The nurse replied, "The patient has fallen asleep. I measured her temperature just now. It's normal. This afternoon, we examined her, only to find that she is seriously malnourished. She suffers from a low degree cataract in her eyes. More heinously, there are parasites inside her body. Besides..."Standing there, the nurse told us about the situation of Jessica roughly.Hearing the ins and outs, Kelvin looked serious on the side.Oogway asked, "Can we go in and have a look at her?""Yes. But she has fallen asleep. H
Kelvin spoke loudly over the phone.Moreover, it was pretty quiet inside the car. Oogway seemed to hear his words and glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes, "Is Mr. Kelvin coming over?"I nodded.Oogway immediately said, "Then I'll arrange a room for him on the top floor of the rehabilitation center.""Well, sorry to trouble you."I was grateful for Oogway's attentiveness.As we were about to arrive home. I suddenly remembered something and said to Oogway, "Can you take me somewhere?""Yes, I can." Oogway nodded.I got an address online and sent it to him.Oogway immediately turned the car around and drove there with me.As he turned the car around, he raised his hand and looked at me with some displeasure, saying, "In the future, wherever you want to go, just tell me directly. You don't have to ask my opinion first. I will always be available for you."I nodded. Only after that did I tell him where I was going.It was a light and textile market selling cloth and hand made craf
I went up and supported Jessica readily. Fearing that she wouldn't accept it, I said, "Aunt, can I bathe you? By the way... I can bathe your baby too.""It sounds good!" Jessica accepted it happily.All the nurses looked at me with strange looks.Ignoring the looks, I stepped forward and helped Jessica take a bath.The rehabilitation center of the Way Hospital was in a good condition. There was a Jacuzzi. After I finished pouring the water into the bath, I let Jessica sit inside.I cleaned up the doll first. Seeing that, Jessica became quite obedient.I bathed her with scented soap first and then rubbed her with a bath towel little by little.It had been a long time since Jessica took a bath, making her body covered with a layer of shell like and hard skin. Seeing so, I asked Oogway to fetch me some white vinegar. After that, I bathed her bits by bits.Sensing that the water turned cold, I scooped the cold water out with a basin and added hot water in.Because it had been years sinc
I stood still and said to her, "We won't do that. We... we'll transfer you and your child to a better place. She... She..." I hesitated for a moment and said, "She is all grown up. And she will have to go to school soon. It's not good for her to be here. She has to go to a better place where there are teachers to impart her knowledge, which is good for her."Upon hearing this, Jessica stared at me with her pair of clear and bright eyes as if she had understood my words and suddenly became as obedient as a child, saying, "Really? Is it true that someone will teach her?""Yes, it is true. The teacher is great and experienced. Any child who follows him can learn a lot and become smart." I tried to persuade her.Jessica nodded desperately, "Okay, okay. That will be so great." She looked at the doll in her arm, "Reed, did you hear that? You can learn soon.""Yes, yes." I echoed. And my tears kept falling.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go transfer her to another
The nurse took us inside and said, "To be honest, before you, nobody visited the patients here. Generally speaking, the reason why people send patients here is that they have a guilty conscience. They are too embarrassed to kill them and yet find them a burden. So they send them here and pay for their stay here to keep their conscience at bay."The more the nurse said, the more upset I felt.It was quiet on the fifth floor as well.I saw that there was a small window on the door of each ward. With the window high up on the door, someone my height couldn't see what was inside.However, Oogway was taller. He looked around with a frown and a dignified look on his face.Seeing him look like this, I was worried."Bang!" When we were going, a sound rang all of a sudden.I was so frightened that I shrank backward and looked at the door where the noise came from, only to find a face attached tightly to the window on the door.The face was black, dirty, and skinny.The pair of eyes above were
Oogway and I arrived at the gate together.As expected, there was a security guard at the gate . We went over and saw the old security guard laying there in a thick military green overcoat, listening to music.The sound of the music was quite loud.It wasn't until we called him for a long while that he heard us.Looking at us in discontent, the old guard got up and opened the window of the gatehouse, leaving it ajar."Hello, we want to...""No visit is allowed during the New Year."As soon as I opened my mouth, the guard snapped. After that, he closed the window.He was afraid that we would harass him. Then he locked the window from inside.I became anxious all of a sudden.Oogway beside me wasn't in a hurry at all.He reached out, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a stack of pink banknotes before putting them in front of the window.The security guard's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the money. Instead of opening the window, he came out directly from the gatehouse, o
I glanced at it and found that there seemed to be an inkstone in the first box.But what was different was that the inkstone wasn't black but red.I was confused. However, as soon as the Master of the Newman Family saw this, his hands began to tremble. Placing his hand a few meters away from the inkstone, he seemed to intend to touch it but dared not do so.After a long while, he asked, "Is this for me?""Of course, it is a red silk inkstone I got by chance. I don't know about this kind of inkstones. It will be a waste if I keep it by my side."Oogway said casually.Although he spoke lightly, I could tell that this inkstone should be quite rare."Thank you, Mr. Oogway." When the Master spoke, he had been staring at the inkstone. It wasn't until a long time later that he gently caressed it with his hands.His expression showed that he loved it so much that he couldn't bear to let it go.After that, Oogway said to the maid, "Open this too."Hearing his words, the maid opened the secon
There was a cold and determined look in his eyes. Confirming that he wouldn't say it, I wouldn't force him further.Moreover, I knew well that I couldn't control what they were going to do.What I could do was to protect Bryan well in case he would get hurt.I nodded lightly, "Okay. Then I'll go and accompany Bryan."As soon as I intended to open the door, Dave directly pulled me from behind with force. I was caught off guard and fell backward.The next second, I directly sat in Dave's arms.My face turned red. And I said, "No." I struggled to get up. However, Dave restrained me firmly in his arms and placed his other hand on my waist. Holding my waist with both hands, he said to me, "Turn around.""No. I'm leaving.""You can't." Dave refused.I closed my eyes, thinking about Oogway's words and my own identity.Although I wanted to be closer to Dave, I couldn't do it with my identity.I was Oogway's fiancee. Regardless of the excuse, the identity, or the reason. I made up my mind,
It was night. Even so, I could clearly feel Oogway kept staring at me closely with his pair of profound eyes.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and left.After he left, Bryan, who had been following Dave, suddenly ran over, "Mom, let's set off fireworks together!""Ah... Okay." I nodded.At this moment, Jamin, who had been standing outside all this while, turned around and entered the room.In the blink of an eye, only the three of us were outside the house.We set off most of the fireworks. By the time it was 1 a.m., Bryan was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Thus, we stopped setting off the fireworks.The maid took the fireworks into the room.Holding Bryan in my arms, I said to Dave, "Then we will go back."After that, I turned around, intending to ask the driver to drive us back, only to be suddenly pulled by Dave. Then, I heard his magnetic voice, "Stay here tonight."My heart thumped."Being here without Oogway.. Won't that mean..."In fact, I didn't want to leave a
