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!"

    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

    While she was thinking about how to apologize, Troy Benjamin spoke up, "In fact, she's right. I'm not Troy Benjamin."As Trish heard his words, her eyes lit up. Troy Benjamin added, "My real name is Kelvin Drake. If you study European Architecture, you should know my last name."After he said that, Trish's face changed.Drake?Is there such a surname?I indeed haven't heard of it. However, Trish nodded dully, "I know. I know.""Well, since we have mentioned this today, I will elaborate on it." Kelvin sat in his own position.He sat there and looked at us below, saying, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Kelvin Drake and I'm the 79th successor of European Architecture ."As soon as he said that, all the people present burst into an uproar.It wasn't because Trish's design was bad. It was because she had pretended to be an expert in the presence of an authentic expert.Trish quickly said, "Mr. Kelvin, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I'm indeed not good at design. I'll work harder next time."

    I turned around and saw Dave standing on the corridor in casual clothes.Dee was standing next to him.My head was dizzy so I couldn't see their expressions clearly.I was standing on the edge of the swimming pool with Kelvin's help. He didn't let go of me until he dragged me to the lounge chair.Kelvin stood beside me then I heard the sound of Dave coming over.He walked over and said, "Get me a bath towel.""No need. I, I'm alright." I quickly got up and said to Kelvin, "Mr. Kelvin, thank you."Kelvin was about to walk away. He stared at me for two seconds before saying, "No need."At this time, Dee had taken out a bath towel from Kelvin's room and said to Kelvin, "Mr. Kelvin, I'll use this towel first. I'll ask the maids to bring you a new set right away."Kelvin waved his hand and walked into his room.Dave took the bath towel over and placed it on me.He reached out his hand to touch my forehead and then my face. After that, he bent down and directly picked me up in his arms."Yo

    Looking at me coldly, Dave seemed to be thinking about something and failed to say anything for a long time.About seven or eight seconds later, I was about to leave. Then Dave suddenly said, "Yes, you are right."I thought there was something wrong with my ears.His voice was a little hoarse and sentimental.Before I could say anything, Dave continued, "I really shouldn't force you to bear any child for me again. With our current relationship, it's really not appropriate for us to have a child.""I..."His attitude changed so fast that I didn't know what to say for a while.But he said first, "Sorry."After that, he turned around to leave.I stood in the night and watched him walking into the darkness bit by bit. For no reason, I felt reluctant to see him leave."Wait a minute!"I wasn't reconciled once again!I took a few steps, went up to the front of his car, and grabbed Dave's hand. When he stopped, I hugged him from behind, "What's wrong with you? Are you going to leave or stay?

    I hesitated for a moment and finally opened the door slightly.Seeing me open the door, Jason surveyed me up quickly and looked inside the room, looking a little nervous, "Are... Are you okay?""Yes." I reluctantly curled up the corner of my lips, "Well, I'm going to close the door. We have something to do. You can leave first. Cook and have a meal with Bryan first."I made my position quite clear.Jason looked quite reluctant. He stood there for a long time. It seemed that he was not willing to leave.But I closed the door.After I turned around, I saw dense sarcasm in Dave's eyes. And he said, "What's wrong with you? Are you sad because you hurt your kept man?""Shut up!" I looked up at Dave and asked reluctantly, "What on earth happened? How did you become like this?""Huh? Do you want to know?" Dave stretched out his hand and directly pulled me into his arms.He turned over and pressed me under his body. He looked down at me and said, "I risked my life for you. And you kept a love

    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.
