Marie was a tender woman. She had long black hair, making her a little old fashioned. Such a woman would always look self restraint and she would not easily reveal her feelings but at this moment, Marie was looking at Dave.

As a woman, I understood the glow in her eyes instantly...

She was looking at Dave so she didn't notice me looking at her but Dave noticed that I was looking at Marie.

He turned around and saw Marie was still there so he said, "You should go back first. Thank you for your help just now."

"Ah..." Marie came to her senses, "No need."

After that, she turned around and left.

I noticed that when she spoke just now, her face was slightly red.

Dave didn't notice any of these. He was fully concentrated on me.

He then turned around and continued to feed me the porridge.

I stretched out my hand from the quilt and said, "I'll do it by myself."

"No, I'll do it."

Dave's attitude was surprisingly tough at this moment.

"..I'm hungry. I can drink it faster if I do it by myself."

    Marie stood at the door as I rushed into the room at lightning speed.I picked up my cell phone, glanced at Dave who was still sitting at the dining table with a pale look on his face, then ssaid, "Mr. Mitaka, Marie and I will go out first. Please help me close the door when you leave."After that, I pulled Marie away.After walking for a while, we sat down beside a small pavilion at the side.The pavilion was supported with a few pieces of wood and a white gauze curtain was hung around it. As we sat inside, the breeze blew gently, making the gauze curtain sway along with the wind.Marie asked, "Mr. Mitaka is so good to you. Why are you running from him?""I don't deserve it."I lowered my head."I think you don't know how to cherish the blessings endowed on you." Marie squinted at me with some envy in her eyes, "In the past, our colleagues often talked about how handsome Mr. Mitaka was, how rich he was, and how happy the woman marrying him would be. At that time, I didn't think that

    The one who had splashed the basin of water on Marie was no other than Trish. After she was done with the water, she shouted, "Marie Drew, why are you so shameless?""Are you alright, Marie?"I knew something was up so I didn't bother to pay attention to Trish as I continued to wrap up Marie with the clothes.Marie seemed to have sobered up a little.She stood still, looked around, and touched her body. After, she looked at me beside her. Opening her eyes wide, she asked, "What, what's wrong with me?""I don't know. Go back to my room with me first."As I said this, I was about to take her back to my room.Dee also came in with five to six bodyguards. Seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mitaka. I'm late. Are you okay?"Dave stood by the side with a calm look on his face as he patted his clothes with his hands. He then glanced at Marie, saying in a bad mood, "Check what's going on with her."Dee glanced at her and immediately said, "Got it!"I wanted

    Marie shook her head repeatedly after seeing my draft.She pointed out a lot of problems to me.Instead of beating around the bush, she was very straightforward.Listening to her, I hoped I could go back to college and restudy designs.After she finished her words, I said with a sad look on my face, "How about I give up the finals?"I didn't have any hopes of getting a good design.Marie raised her hands and touched my hair. She then said with a smile, "It's alright. I am here with you. There is nothing to be worried about.""You? I am not letting you do my design for me."Her words reminded me of Trish's words.Haick had enlightened me on my work for the preliminary contest and when it came to my work for the second round, it got dramatic. I have to rely on myself in the final round. It didn't matter to me even if I couldn't get any prize.Marie burst into laughter, "Who said I was going to do your design for you? I'm just saying you got me so there's nothing to be worried about."I

    "Don't! Don't insert it!"It would be a nightmare for me.Sweat trickled down my forehead.Looking at Dave's hand holding the USB drive, I was afraid he would be impulsive."Get some rest then. You'll also have to get to bed before 12.am from tomorrow." Dave looked at me with a cold gaze as he spoke."But...""Huh?"I wanted to refute but Dave moved the USB drive towards my laptop. I was so scared that I layed back down on bed. "I'm going to sleep! I'm going to sleep! Don't be impulsive!" I thought o myself, 'I'll pretend to be sleeping. When he goes then I will continue my work.'Sure enough, when Dave saw me lying down, he nodded with satisfaction, turned off the light and left.I listened quietly to the movement at the door. After confirming he had left, I climbed out of bed quietly.I tiptoed and turned my laptop back on.When the software was loading and I was planning to get back to my work...Crack.The door opened.I saw Dave standing at the door with a small bag in hand.He

    Before I could get to the dinning hall, someone suddenly grabbed me with a strong force and said, "Why didn't you wait for me?"He pulled me towards the opposite direction."Let me go!"Dave gave me a light look, "If you want to attract the others here, continue shouting."His words made me shut up.He took me into the courtyard of the resort and I was surprised to see people guarding there.This was a secluded part of the resort and we were asked not to wander around here. It turned out Dave was living here.Dave took me to a small dining hall and three waiters came over to serve us.Throughout breakfast, I was busy enjoying my food and didn't say a word to Dave but his face was gloomy. He also didn't intend to talk to me.After breakfast, I made up my mind to get back to my work. Since I couldn't do my work at night, I had to work on it during the day.I said to Dave, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room first.""I've asked Dee to get your laptop. You can work here."As

    I went to the dining hall alone the next day.When I arrived at the corridor of the dining hall, I happened to see Dee. Thinking of Marie's issue, I stopped him and asked why Marie had quit the competition and how the investigation about the issue was going.Dee shook his head helplessly, "Before Marie left, I had a talk with her. She didn't have any clue who harmed her and the monitor didn't show any suspicious scenes.""Why did you allow her quit the competition? Someone had definitely planned that to get her out of the competition."I didn't mention Trish but as long as Dee was clear about the strength of the contestants in this competition, he should know who I was referring to.Dee looked up at me, "Miss Defiant, I know you have a good relationship with Marie but you'd better not speculate randomly without any solid evidence.""But you shouldn't have let Marie withdraw from the competition!""It was Marie who wanted to withdraw from the competition. I did advised her but accordin

    Her reaction was the best evidence.Although Trish was usually arrogant, I found out from the plagiarism incident last time that as long as I poked her where she hurt, she would lose her self control.As we were quarreling, Dee kindly asked on the side, "Miss Trish, it's almost 12 o'clock. Do you still need to back up your work?""Yeah. I've modified my work so I have to back it up again." Trish said as she took out a U disk and began to back up her work.I stood next to her and said to Dee, "Assistant Dee, I have to tell you something specifically. Last time, when you were not there, my work was the same as hers. Later, it was proven that she had copied my work. This time, if there are any conflicts between her work and mine again, remember she revised her work after I submitted mine.""What do you mean? I won't care to copy your work!"Hearing my words, Trish became anxious.I glanced at her and said, "I didn't say you surely would plagiarize my work. Why are you so anxious? Are you

    "Grandma?" Lita didn't expect me to ask about Judith's situation directly. After thinking for a while, she said, "She is still the same. At first, aunt agreed to turn off her breathing machine but now she said we shouldn't do so. It's strange."Comfort did what I had said.Trish sat in front of me. Seeing Lita talking cheerfully with me, she came over and said in a moderate voice, "She has been living with Mr. Mitaka since."Lita was talking to me happily however after hearing Trish's words, she immediately became fierce, "Don't talk nonsense. Reed isn't such a person.""Are you sure? She has been living with Mr. Mitaka over the past two weeks. They are so intimate and close."After Trish said that, the others echoed, "Yes, we also saw."Lita looked at me and the look on her face indicated that she was a little embarrassed.Trish and others talked about the things that had happened over these days in an even more exaggerated tone as they voiced out in a tone audible to just Lita and

    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
