Kim had good body figure.She was a natural beauty who had never done any cosmetic surgery so she naturally was far better than the beauty beautified by cosmetic surgery in front of her.In the face of the provocation in the beauty's eyes, Kim didn't give a damn about her as she responded, "Who am I? I am just a passer by. It's your Mr. Desmond who insists on chasing me. How come you question me instead of blaming him?""Don't glorify yourself. Mr. Desmond...""Yes, yes. I'm the one who is chasing after you."Before the 'beautiful woman' could finish her words, Desmond's words discouraged her.Desmond looked at Kim with an apologetic smile and said, "Where do you like to buy your clothes, beauty? I'll take you there right now!""Not need."Kim pulled me, intending to leave.Desmond should have realized Kim was different from the other women so he wasn't infuriated by her attitude instead, he chased after her happily and said, "Don't, don't. I have an important message for the beautifu
It was obvious that Desmond admired Dave very much. Now that he heard what we had said, he probably was so angry that he didn't catch up with us.After we came out of the cafe, Kim glanced at me and asked, "How are you feeling?"I blurted out without hesitation, "I'm fine. I'm free now.""Don't lie to yourself.""I'm not." I lowered my eyes and was silent for a moment then I added, "In fact, the reason why I was with him was to have my revenge against Lita. As long as he won't marry Lita, I won't disturb him and whoever he will marry. I will also draw a clear line with him.""What if he continues to pester you?""He won't." As I said so, I didn't sound any confident but Dave hadn't contacted since my birthday.Didn't that indicate he had already decided to give me up?That day, I accompanied Kim shopping in other malls and had dinner with her. It wasn't until at 9 p.m. that we went home respectively.Before going to bed, I took out the skincare products Kim recommended. I was ready
The bodyguards looked at each other awkwardly.They wanted to take further action but the security of the residential quarter came over and asked, "What's going on?"At the sight of the patrol team of the residential quarter, the bodyguards turned around and left.They let Lita be.Lita cried, "Thank you, Mr. Oogway!"As she said this, she wanted to jump into Oogway's arms but Oogway, who had sprained his foot, was pushed two steps backward by Lita's move and he almost fell.I helped Oogway on the side and said, "I'm leaving."As I spoke, I intended to walk back home however, Oogway stopped me, "Please do me a favor."I looked back at him.Oogway continued, "Call her an ambulance. When the ambulance arrives, I'll go back with you."When Lita heard his words, she was dumbfounded.She thought to herself, Does this mean he doesn't intend to help me any further?Lita said with some embarrassment, "But... But I don't have money. Neither do I have my cell phone."I could care less as I call
After that day, my life went on as usual.I was assigned with a project related to a small sized western restaurant.The western restaurant was located in the bustling area downtown. On the first day, I went there to have an inspection.After I came out of the restaurant, I was pondering on where and what to have lunch when I looked up and saw a familiar figure.Dave!We hadn't seen each other for weeks.He looked glorious as usual in his gem blue shirt and casual pants with a woman by his side.The two of them were walking towards the jewelry shop next door.That store was specialized in selling diamonds, mainly diamond rings for weddings.Although I only saw the woman's back view, I was very sure that was not Lita.The woman's hair was black and shiny and Lita's hair was permed all year around. Moreover, I thought of the date when Lita had said she was pregnant last time. If there was no accident, Lita surely had been pregnant for three months and she surely couldn't wear high hee
The woman seemed to understand something. She smiled and said, "Do you want to talk with each other? I'll excuse myself first."As she spoke, she was about to walk to the side.Dave didn't move but I got nervous and quickly stopped her, "No, no! Mr. Mitaka is the boss of our company. What can I say to him?"The woman stopped and looked at me then she looked at Dave and asked, "Are you sure?""Yes!" I nodded desperately, "Goodbye, Mr. Mitaka!"After that, I ran away in a flash.It wasn't until I turned the corner of the shop that I stopped and looked back, only to see Dave and the woman standing beside their car talking.After, they got into the car.At this time, I realized my heart was pounding and at the same time, I felt I was sour and uncomfortable in my heart.However, I had observed the woman closely just now.She, who was different from Lita, was dressed decently and acted gracefully. At first glance, it was obvious she was a lady from a rich family.Only such a woman was worth
After I was sure Lita stood firmly, I loosened my grip and said without looking back, "Are you done with your acting? Cameras are all around here. How come you want to put on a show, acting like I pushed you and causing a miscarriage?""I didn't."Lita stood there with tears in her eyes, looking in the direction behind me.I asked, "How could there be so many coincidences in the world? As soon as Mr. Mitaka showed up, I pushed you. Are you a fool? Or do you take Mr. Mitaka as a fool?""I didn't..."By this time, tears had been welling up in Lita's eyes as if they would fall in the next second.I didn't bother with her as I said, "Take your time to complain to Mr. Mitaka, telling him I quarreled with you, intending to push you and make you lose your baby. I don't care."At this time, I didn't want to explain further.I was so tired.I got home in the evening and wanted to rest when I received a phone call from Lydia.She said she wanted to redesign somewhere in the hall.The Engineerin
I closed the door and went back to sleep.However, lying on the bed, I couldn't help but think of the fact that Lita had been chased by several bodyguards a few days ago.I wondered whether her kidnapping was done by the bodyguards as well.The next day, as soon as I left the company, several policemen came over.They took out their police ID and said, "Reed Defiant, we are from the police headquarters and have a few questions for you."The colleagues around who came out with me, all looked at me.I guessed right away that they came to me for Lita's case so I said calmly, "Go ahead." The police didn't tell me whether Lita had been found or not and what on earth was going on with Lita's issue. They just asked where I had been the night before.I answered honestly, "A client asked me to make some changes to a project so I went to their side."The policeman asked again, "Can someone testify for you?"I said with confidence, "Of course! The client came to pick me up at home in person." B
Before I could finish cooking my meal, my cell phone rang. It was a call from a strange number. My first reaction was that the call should be from a client so I picked it up without deliberation.Unexpectedly, the moment I picked up, Helen's hysterical voice came from over the phone, "Reed Defiant! You're going to die a terrible death! You don't have any conscience at all. Why harm Lita like this? I'm going to kill you!"I listened to her words for a while without any expression on my face and hung up without allowing her finish, then, I blacklisted the number.I had already blacklisted Helen and Thomas' phone number so their calls couldn't come in at all.Now, to scold me, Helen used a new number.It seemed what had happened to Lita was serious this time.Even so, in my opinion, it had nothing to do with me.The next morning, I arrived at the company. As soon as I entered the office, I saw several colleagues of mine converge and chatting. When they saw me coming in, they stopped a
My heart pounded against my ribs as I took a shaky breath, trying to steady my emotions. But as I turned to face the guests, my family, my friends, and most of all, the man standing just a few steps away, my voice trembled with overwhelming emotion."This isn’t just Kim’s wedding," I finally said, my voice thick with unshed tears. "It’s mine too."Gasps filled the air, followed by a stunned silence. Then, all at once, the crowd erupted into excitement.I heard my mother’s joyful sob, saw Kelvin blinking in surprise before his face broke into a smile. Kim squeezed my hand, winking, and Desmond chuckled beside her. But my eyes weren’t on them.They were on Dave.He stood motionless for a moment, his eyes locked on mine. Then, with the help of his crutches, he began to walk toward me, determination in every step.When he finally reached my side, he lifted a hand to my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek.“You’re crying,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion.I laughed shakily,
Dave surely wouldn't say no to Desmond.Seeing that Dave had personally agreed, Desmond couldn't be more joyful.Hearing Desmond's words, Dave lowered his eyes slightly. Falling silent for a moment, he didn't promise Desmond immediately.I knew what he was hesitant about.In his current situation, it was difficult for him to stand on stage. He might need a crutch.As I was about to refuse on behalf of him, Dave spoke first, "Okay, no problem.""Then I'm leaving. I won't bother you two anymore!"Hearing that Dave had agreed, Desmond left.After Desmond left, I said with some concern, "Desmond is one of us. If you are in a difficult position, tell him directly.""I know." Dave looked up at the rehabilitation equipment on the side and said, "But we agreed on this a long time ago. I can't let him down."It made sense. Desmond had always been by Dave's side.They two should have agreed on this early.Dinner was a quiet affair, but in the best way possible. The kind where words weren’t alw
Dave and I lived in the town for a while.When we lived together, Dave would make love to me against my will with the excuse that it would be conducive to the recovery of his legs.Frequently, we didn't go to bed until the middle of the night. I was so exhausted that I didn't even know when he had gone to rehabilitation in the morning.One and a half months later, Dave's legs had recovered to a great extent. He could walk for a short distance without a crutch.On the last day of the rehabilitation training, the doctor told us in the rehabilitation room that Dave could return to the City, saying that he could finish the rest of the rehabilitation training at home.Hearing this, Dave bought flight tickets on the same day.We went back and packed up our things before setting off.The next night, Dave and I landed at the airport.After going back home, Dave and I didn't get Bryan back to our side for the time being. Dave had been quite busy because of his work.He worked overtime after m
Teresa walked gracefully and looked at us, asking, "What happened?"She looked as if she was watching a good show. From this, I knew that she surely had been eavesdropping inside for a while and that she surely had known what had happened by this time.Having been in contact with Teresa for a long time, these people were naturally close to her.Hearing her question, everyone told her what had happened.Teresa looked at me with an unconcealable smile on her face, saying to me, "People in this town are clean and simple. How can you act the same way as you did in the City? You are a discredit here.""He gave me the key." I defended myself.Teresa surely wasn't convinced as well, saying, "Even if you are lying, you have to make up convincing lies. Everyone knows that you and I are both kept outside here. He probably doesn't even know that you are here. How would he give you the key?"As Teresa spoke, she had a smug look in her eyes.Sure enough, after she finished her words, the ones arou
Picking up my cutlery and taking a bit of rice, I said, "I'm leaving tonight. I'll come see you every night in the future.""Why?"Hearing this, Dave was a little puzzled.I chuckled, "I won't tell you! Anyway, don't let others know that I've been here."I didn't tell him why. However, Dave was so smart. Seeing my expression, he immediately said, "You want to keep her in the dark, right?"I nodded.Since Teresa had put in so much effort to put on a show, I naturally wouldn't let her act in vain.He nodded.However, when I left, I didn't climb over the wall again. Dave found someone and gave me a key to the back door locked all year round.I left through the backdoor.The next morning, I went to the hospital as usual.Teresa wore a blue and white dress with knee length today.Sitting on the opposite side of the road, she stared at the hospital door in a daze.When I went over, Teresa looked up at me and said with a hint of disdain, "I thought you were gone.""No, I didn't."There was a
A long time seemed to have passed since we made love. However, Dave was quite familiar with my body. Hooking my arms around his neck, I looked at him and said, "I want you."I rarely said so.At this moment, I knew that by seeing what I did and hearing my words, Dave could be infinitely confident.Raising his head, Dave hadunconcealable excitement in his eyes.Reaching out and pushing aside the strands of hair on my cheeks, he said, "You have me.""You have me."After he said so, the ambiguous and warm atmosphere permeated the room.By the time I opened my eyes again, day...Someone outside knocked on the door. A nurse seemed to be calling Dave to do the rehabilitation training.I looked at Dave sleeping soundly beside me with my face slightly blushed. Last night, we had been making love for a long time. Dave seemed to have inexhaustible strength. One or two hours had passed only since we went to bed.Dave, like me, heard what the nurse had said outside. Without opening his eyes, he
After I entered the room, it was dark inside with the curtains drawn. I couldn't see anything.Wondering where Dave was, I was sure that he surely had fallen asleep.I reached out to fudge around, trying to figure out the situation inside the room.All of a sudden, I ended up touching a soft and sturdy body.I was shocked.Then, I heard Dave say, "Leave quickly. Or I'll call a bodyguard."His voice was cold and emotionless.I couldn't help but shudder.I suspected that the bodyguard had betrayed me.As I was about to say something, I heard him say, "You surely know the situation of Michaelson Group well. With a phone call from me, Michaelson Group will close down tomorrow. At that time, you may not even afford to return to the City."It turned out that he mistook me as Teresa.Sensing that he was standing, I wondered whether Dave's legs had been healed."You... ""It's me."As Dave was about to speak again, I reached out and hugged him directly.While hugging him, I touched something
Kim picked up the call and spoke in surprise over the phone, "You are making an international call.""I have something to tell you." Looking at the desktop wallpaper on my computer screen, I thought for a moment before saying, "Yesterday, I learned that Teresa and Dave might have a son and that he should be about the same age as Bryan.""What?"I could strongly sense Kim's surprise over the phone so I moved the cell phone a little further away from me.Kim continued, "That's impossible. What the hell is this? Didn't he ever tell you about this?"Holding the cell phone, I shook my head, "No, I knew it yesterday. And now I'm in a mess.""Well, regarding this..." Kim said over the phone, "In my opinion, you should ask Dave about this by yourself. After all, Teresa is good at disguising herself. You don't even know whether she is telling the truth or not. Nobody knows that she, who is a high ranking socialite in the City before, is a shrew in private, right? You'd better confirm with Dave
I looked left and right.The wall guarding the hospital was made up of ordinary brick. It was only more than two meters high. In fact, the wall couldn't be of any deterring effect at all.After thinking for a moment, I said to the bodyguard, "Since you won't let me in, I'll go. Please don't tell Dave that I've come here, okay?"The bodyguard didn't know that I probably would make other moves.If he knew, I wouldn't have any chances at all.Looking at me, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.Fearing that he promised me nominally, I put my palms together devoutly and pleaded, "Please don't tell him.""Well, I won't."The bodyguard promised once again.Only after that was I rest assured.Seeing that I came out, Teresa stood at the door and looked sarcastic, "I originally thought you would be greatly respected. It turned out that you were kept outside as well."Looking at Teresa, I wasn't angry, asking, "Miss Teresa, you are a socialite in the City. I remember when we first met, you talk
