At the entrance of the hospital while waiting for a taxi, Dave appeared in front of me."Mr. Mitaka, is there anything else?" I looked up at him, trying to make my voice distant.Dave pulled me with one hand and took out a necklace from the pocket of his trousers with the other.He then stretched out his hand. I lowered my head and saw a pink diamond necklace in it. It was the birthday present he had gotten for me.My heart ached as I said, "Mr. Mitaka, you don't have to do this."Dave only said two words, "Take it." Then he stuffed the necklace into my hands roughly.It was the first time I was seeing the necklace during the day.The golden sunlight set against the pink diamond necklace making it dazzling. Under the golden sunlight, the necklace was shining brightly, especially the pink heart shaped diamond. It looked so perfect, making others lust for it.I looked at the necklace for a moment and tried returning it, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mitaka. It is too expensive and not suitable for m

I needed someone to bail me out but whom can I turn to?Kim?She just posted on her Facebook account earlier and she was in Ghana now.Who else can I turn to?Sitting in the guard room of the police station, I looked at the watch, which turned around little by little, on the wall outside.It was eleven o'clock in the evening.When I thought I would be detained like this, the police came over, "Reed Defiant, you got bailed. You can leave now.""Who is it?"I was so surprised. When I came to the door of the police station, I saw a man standing there in a light colored suit under the somewhat cool moonlight.When he saw me coming out, he waved to me.The sky was dark and I didn't recognize who it was but when I got closer, "Desmond Gaddy? Why are you here?"How is it him?"Why am I here? Do you think I would have loved to pick you up in the middle of the night?"Desmond's expression was similar to mine. He took out the key of his car, pointed at a high end sports car not far away, and

More than a week had passed and I hadn't even drafted my design work yet. Fortunately, Comfort had booked an escort room in the hospital so I stayed there with my laptop to work.After checking on Judith, I went back to work on my drawings. However, a day later, I received a summon letter from court, informing me the case of Judith's surgery had been pushed to court.When I saw the summon letter, I genuinely realized I was about to fight another 'battle' again.In desperation, I had to call Kim, asking if she knew any lawyer.Kim had a lot of connections. When I told her about this matter, she sent me the name of a law firm, a lawyer, and his phone number.It was just that she was abroad now and couldn't be with me.The law firm referred by Kim was called Nommy Law Firm. Although I had searched for this law firm on the internet before, I dared not call them at all.This time, it was Kim who introduced them to me. I hesitated for a moment and decided to try my luck.I took a leave from

I was a little hesitant however, knowing I hadn't found a lawyer yet, I knew if it was Oogway who introduced a lawyer to me, they probably would give me a discount so I said shamelessly, "Yes, I haven't gotten one yet."Oogway called me in. Only then did I know that this lawyer was Harry Necton, an ace lawyer of Nommy Law Firm.After entering the office, I told Harry the situation and he nodded."No problem. I can take this case.""Then regarding the lawyer's fee..." I didn't expect Harry to agree but then again I was afraid he would charge a high price.Before Harry could respond, Oogway said first, "I give you so much money every year and I never turn to you at all some times. This case is on the hospital.""You don't have to." I said first.Harry glanced at Oogway and hesitated for a moment then said, "It's the first time I've seen you make a request for a woman. For the sake of you being an old bachelor, I'll count it as your case this time."I wanted to oppose however, Oogway an

Standing at the side, Haick watched me disregard his drawing and opened a new interface to work on.He smiled bitterly, "You! You indeed haven't changed at all. I saved the previous version of your drawing for you.""Thank you." Following his words, I found the previous version of my drawing.If he hadn't saved the previous version of my drawing, I would have drawn a new one or give up the design competition. Never would I have taken part in the contest with the drawing designed by him. Comparing his modified version with mine, I felt there was indeed a lot of gap between his and mine.Staring at what I had drawn, I smiled bitterly, "I'd better delete it and figure out a new one."Haick shook his head and sat next to me, "Come on. Let me tell you where your problem lies."That night, Haick gave me a lot of guidance.Although I didn't have time to modify the drawing, I recorded his instructions one by one.It wasn't until he finished talking that I remembered to ask, "Why are you here

A week later, the results came out.There was a site for the design competition. When I logged onto the site, I found that I was ranked at 52. However, only the top 50 can pass the preliminary contest.I, who wasn't satisfied with my own work, knew I probably wouldn't pass the preliminary contest. Even so, when I saw I could have passed if I had beaten the other two contestants, I was still a little disappointed.Hearing many others congratulating Amelia, I scrolled up the page and found she ranked 32nd.Amelia walked to me and looked at my web page. She then said with a smile, "Reed Defiant, you are the most diligent one on usual days. Most customers write letters to our company, praising you. Why couldn't you even pass the preliminary session?""I am not as good as you.""Hahaha, you indeed have self awareness." Amelia returned to her seat while laughing.Not long after, I received a text message from Haick, "I saw the result of the preliminary contest. Sorry, I didn't give you the

Desmond put out the car engine and got out of the car. He looked at me with admiration, "Well done! Reed. I didn't expect you to be this powerful!""500,000 dollars." I spread my hand out to him."I surely meant my words." Desmond happily ran to the car planning to write a cheque.Originally I was joking but I didn't expect Desmond would take my words seriously and hand me a cheque.I simply couldn't imagine what a rich man's world would be like.Seeing that he tore off the cheque and wanted to give it to me, I waved my hand, "I don't want it. I'll be grateful to you if you don't pester Kim in the future."After that, I walked in the direction of the law firm.As soon as I took two steps forward, I saw Harry and Oogway standing at the entrance of the law firm looking at me.Harry first clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be such a bold and scheming person, Miss Defiant.""No, no."I was just dealing with someone shameless in a rogue way. I didn't expect t

Dave took me to the top floor of Mensvic Restaurant.The night lights were set up around us.The weather wasn't hot in April. As the cold breeze blew gently past us, I felt good.Dave asked me to order the dishes but I still said, "Up to you."Soon, the dishes were served.Admittedly, the dishes in Mensvic Restaurant were indeed delicious. After we finished the main course and dessert was served, I looked up at Dave, "Let's have a good talk."Dave interrupted me, "Have a taste of this first. The dessert here is also very delicious."His expression was gentle but I felt he seemed to be interrupting me on purpose.I lowered my head, looked at the cake in front of me, and took a bite of it. At first, it tasted bitter, then, it was sweet.It was just like the relationship between Dave and I.As I recalled the past, I found that every step I had taken seemed to leave me with pain and scars. However, for no reason, I always faintly remembered a wonderful memory.I took a bite of the cake an

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
The CEO's Switched Bride Chapter 541
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
