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.

    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

    Could it be that Comfort was the one who had ruined Lita?She did so to change Judith's will or something?I wanted to listen to her conversation but she hung up and entered the ward.I also came out of the corner and walked into the ward. Before I could arrive at the door, I heard Comfort crying and saying, "Mom, you have to get better."She was indeed good at acting.Although the door was open, I still knocked on it gently.Comfort turned her head. Seeing that it was me, she suddenly shouted as if she had gone crazy, "How dare you!"As she said this, she stood up and rushed to me.Before I could dodge her, I heard Judith's weak voice coming from behind her, "Comfort, come back."When Comfort came over, I happened to see Judith.Lying on the bed, Judith had a yellow and sallow look on her face, looking very weak.She seemed to have lost a lot of weight and she got injections on the back of her hand.After hearing Judith's words, Comfort stopped but her face was full of anger as she

    I found that Helen's values were distorted.In terms of being raped and being imprisoned, in my opinion, neither of them was a light punishment. However, for the sake of Judith, I didn't argue with Helen. I just continued to repeat my words, "This matter has nothing to do with me. You can just investigate it. Moreover, I have no interest in Dave anyway. I don't have any motive to harm her."I finished my words calmly.In my opinion, the Defiant family members were worse than strangers.What had happened to them couldn't affect my emotions at all.Thomas stood on the side, saying nothing.Helen cried. She went to sit on the sofa and said in tears, "It has to be you. Besides you, no one else would do so."Helen's words stunned me but it did make sense. If it wasn't me, who else could it be?But I was innocent so I said, "It's has nothing to do with me. Anyway, it's the police's job to find the culprit."Judith opened her mouth, "Don't speculate about anything randomly before Lita wake

    Looking at Bryan, I felt a heart wrenching pain. However, I didn't know how to comfort him.At this time, Jason on the side raised his hand to rub Bryan's hair and said, "Of course, your dad won't do that. Every father in the world loves his children the most. Of course, your dad surely won't abandon you.""Is it true?""It's true!" Jason nodded with certainty.He pushed the shopping cart away.Looking at the bottle of energy drink that Dave had put down, somehow, I picked it up and put it in the shopping cart.After we went back home that night, I cooked. And Jason accompanied Bryan to build Lego.Everything was as usual.Ding. Dong.Someone rang the doorbell.Jason went to open the door. I stood aside and felt a little puzzled. After all, no one would visit me.After Jason opened the door, I saw a look of surprise on his face.The next second, I saw Dave pushing him away and stepping into the room. Looking around, he saw me, went straight over, and grabbed my arm, saying, "Let's

    The next day, Jason arrived with a leather suitcase.Bryan was so happy. It was also a Friday.Originally, Jason was about to leave at night. However, Bryan insisted on not letting him go. Whatever I said, he wouldn't listen to me.In the end, we couldn't persuade Bryan, so I had to let Jason stay overnight...That day seemed to be a turning point.Since that day, Jason had been living in my home. Occasionally, he would go back to school but most of the time, he lived here.I trusted him. Usually, I would leave a few hundred dollars at home and ask him to go out to the supermarket to buy things for me.What's more, after Jason stayed here on weekends, I could go to the driving school to learn to drive over the weekends, which benefited me and significantly shorten the duration of getting a driving license.Because I could go to the driving school on the weekends, I passed the vehicle driving license exam of subject three soon. After that, I made a reservation for subject four.To cel

    I knew that Jason surely knew where he should have put the Lego piece. It was just that he used this method to make Bryan think on his own.The two of them were having a good time at this time. When I entered the room, neither Jason nor Bryan noticed me.Within a day, the two of them got along with each other so well. Only then did I feel that Jason was quite reliable.I changed my shoes and walked inside.Jason quickly stood up and said, "Sister Alina, let me prepare dinner for you.""No, let me do it." I looked at my watch and found that it was past six p.m. Then I said, "Go back to school now.""Okay." Jason nodded his head.Cleaning up the Lego pieces on the ground, Jason promised Bryan that he would piece the Lego with him tomorrow and left.After I finished cooking and asked Bryan to have dinner, Bryan stared at me and said, "Mom, can you pay brother Jason more so that he can accompany me longer?"I was stunned. And I immediately wondered whether Jason had asked Bryan to say s

    A week later, Jason came to my house for the first time on a Monday.I got up at 7 a.m, changed my clothes, and went downstairs, planning to cook. Ding!Ding! My cell phone rang.It was a text from Jason, which read, "Sister Alina, I'm at the door of your house. If you are up, please open the door for me."I opened the door quickly.I saw Jason standing at the door in a light blue T shirt. Rolling up the sleeves to his shoulders, he revealed his skinny and yet muscular arms. With a pair of sports shorts on his lower body, a pair of sneakers, and white socks on.The morning sunlight shone on his face and shone into his eyes, making him outgoing and bright."Why did you come so early?" I was a little surprised.Jason said seriously, "Sister Scarlett told me that you are quite busy, asking me to come here to make breakfast early. After I arrived here, fearing that you hadn't woken up, I waited at the door for a while. After hearing that there was movement inside, I sent the text."For

    Not long after that day, a female superstar was revealed to have slept with different men, overshadowing all news related to me.In the end, my life went to as peaceful as it used to be.The studio gradually returned to normal. And the renovation of the former studio had almost been done. So we moved back.I transformed one of Judith's guest rooms into Bryan's room and got him back to my side.If Bryan went to the same kindergarten as he did before, it would be troublesome. So I intended to transfer him to another kindergarten.It just so happened that Marie found a kindergarten offering a semi boarding service for Aurelia. She could live there from Monday to Thursday. And Marie would pick her up and take her home on weekends.According to Marie, she had studied this kindergarten for a long time and found it quite reliable. So I sent Bryan there as well.Since Bryan wasn't home at ordinary times, I had a lot of free time.Apart from learning to drive, I focused on my work.Once I beca

    I followed him into the elevator specifically for the president. Dee stood in front of me. Through the mirror in the elevator door, I could see that he looked dignified.Walking out of the elevator, I saw that the whole top floor was the same as before.Dee took me to the door of Dave's office. Knocking twice on the door, he said, "Mr. Mitaka, she's here."Then he pushed the door open slightly and motioned me to go in.It seems that Dave had known I will come.I looked at the door and felt extremely nervous. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open and walked in.In the office, Dave sat in front of a large L shaped desk with a document in one hand and a folder in the other, correcting the document.I walked in. He paused what he was doing for a moment. Without raising his head, he asked, "What do you want to say?"If Dave's attitude to me was as normal as usual, I might indeed think that I had seen something wrong. However, judging from the current scene, I knew that I hadn't se

    Lying there, I rested for quite a while before sitting up.Looking at the dim living room around me, I saw a faint light shining through the window of the living room. Searching the living room carefully, I was sure Dave hadn't come back.Yeah, he didn't come back. Otherwise, seeing that I fell down, he surely would come to me.I thought of the kiss at noon.I, who had been pretending to be strong, could no longer disguise myself.I stood where I was and kept telling myself, "Aren't you going to be independent of him? Aren't you going to stop thinking about him?"After all, everything would only get worse and worse if we were together. It would be better if we weren't together.In that case, the ones I loved wouldn't get hurt.How nice it would be!I kept telling myself this.Yeah. Since I decided to break up with him, I would have to make things clear to him face to face, right?I was deceiving myself in my mind.Rubbing my waist, I took out my cell mobile phone from my pocket.

    Marie sighed, "Alina Jetson, oh, Alina Jetson. Sometimes I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid. Dave is so good to you. Why did you hide this from him?""I..." I turned around, "I don't want to make trouble for him. I think I can solve this independently. If I tell him, he will definitely help me. I am independent. And I can't always be protected by him, can I?""Are you making blind and disorderly conjectures?" Marie looked at me with a frown."Am I thinking randomly?"I didn't know what to say at the moment.Marie took my hand and said, "He may be having a meeting. Don't think too much. As Scarlett said, he's a president. How can he hang around you all day? Maybe he hasn't seen the press conference up till now."I knew that what Marie had said wouldn't happen.When I left, I remembered Dave's expression very clearly.He surely knew that I was going to do something that I kept from him.Scarlett shouted from the side, "Let's go have the meal quickly. I'm so hungry."Wit

    At this time, Harry looked at Matt on the side, "Vice Dean Parma, it's your turn."Matt stood there with a look of embarrassment on his face.Matt was dressed in a gray blue jacket, a pair of sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers, looking casual.It was as if someone had forcibly dragged him over here while he was doing his morning running.Hearing how Harry called Matt, all the reporters under the stage suddenly understood who Matt was. All of a sudden, they all aimed the cameras at him!Matt lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists. The conference room was not hot at all. But I could clearly see a layer of sweat on Matt's forehead."Vice Dean Parma?" Harry raised his voice, called out once again, and handed Matt the microphone he had used just now.This time, Matt finally moved. He raised his hand to take the microphone over and looked at the audience with a dull look. Then he opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind, "I'm Matt Parma. I testify that what Alina said just n
