Oogway who was older than me, exuded the aura of a mature man, giving me an inexplicable sense of trust and to some extent, going abroad was the best choice for me.I wanted to stay far away from Dave."Okay, I'll go abroad with you." I hesitated for a moment, "My bank card is at Dave's place..."Oogway smiled when he heard that, "Don't worry. Although I'm not as rich as Dave, I can afford to support you."I understood what he meant however, hearing his words, I felt a little embarrassed.That night, I followed Oogway and boarded a plane out of the country.It wasn't until I got on the plane and looked at the clouds outside the plane that I realized I had indeed gotten out of Dave's control.On the plane, Oogway looked at me, "Now, the plane has taken off. Tell me what happened.""I..." I wanted to say something however, because of the side effects of the anti exposure drugs as well as the discomfort of my ears in the high altitude, I felt somewhat nauseous.Before I could finish my w
Oogway took me to a popular restaurant in the local area. By the time we went in, it was almost full. When the boss saw Oogway, she quickly greeted him and smiled at me.She took the two of us to a quiet corner at the end of the room.The boss here was a middle aged woman in her forties. She didn't mind my appearance. She introduced the specialty of her restaurant to me enthusiastically.Since it was my first time I ordered dishes based on her recommendation.Not long after, the dishes were served. To tell the truth, the dishes here weren't as good as how the boss had recommended. They tasted so strange. However, the boss came to ask if the dishes tasted good and to avoid failing her enthusiasm, I had to brace myself to finish all the dishes.The people around us were indeed like Oogway had said. They didn't mind me at all.This made me feel relieved.After dinner, considering that I was tired, Oogway let me go back to rest first and also asked me to visit the town with him tomorr
I know that besides intending to see Dave, I was worried about him.I pondered on it over and over again and said to Oogway, "Mr. Oogway, I am quite worried about Dave. Before I left, his behavior seemed a little abnormal. I am worried he will do something extreme.""Hearing you say so, I also feel his attitude at the birthday banquet wasn't normal either." Oogway nodded slightly. "I will help him. Don't worry."That afternoon, Oogway took me to the market to make purchases.I felt so great. People here didn't look at me with peculiar looks in their eyes.When we were about to leave the market, we saw an old lady sitting at the entrance with a few kinds of vegetables in front of her."How much is it?"By the time I saw the coriander, Oogway had walked up to the old woman and asked about the price.The old lady glanced at Oogway and stretched out five fingers.This price was much higher than those of other vegetables.This price couldn't be compared with that in the domestic supermarke
It wasn't until a few days later that I knew the reason Oogway has chosen to come here. There had been a serious fire in this town. Many people got injured in the fire so they went out with gauze and masks on their faces, which everyone wasn't surprised about.What's more, the doctors in town were very good at dealing with injuries after the burning.After I settled down, I went to a hospital in town. The doctor made further treatment to my face. Because of the previous treatment, the wound on my face had basically healed but I hadn't restore my face. The left and right sides of my face were uneven.I didn't need to wear a cover. With a mask only, I went out.According to the doctor, if I wanted to recover my face further, I could only do skin grafting.Skin grafting was a long process. If I wanted to do it here, I would have to stay for at least half a year.In the blink of an eye, the day before Oogway will return back home came.That day, I accompanied him to buy groceries as usu
Dave looked at me as if he had gone crazy. He pressed me on the back of the car seat. His face was very close to me as he said, "If I tell you that it's exactly because of this that I'm so overwhelmingly jealous, will you believe me?"I was stunned.Dave held me in his arms and wanted to take off my mask.Although I was used to facing Oogway, I still didn't have the courage to face Dave.I tried my best to protect my mask. Dave looked at me and sneered, "Why? You dare face him like this. Why don't you dare face me now? Are you that unwilling to trust me?""I..."Yes. I was fine with it if Oogway saw my face but I couldn't let Dave see my face. I didn't want him to see my face. I didn't want him to dislike me."Take it off.""No."I shook my head desperately. No. That was the one thing I couldn't do."Three."He began to count down and I knew what it meant.I begged him, "No, can't you just give up seeing my face?""Two.""Please.""One!"As he finished his words, he took off my ma
Dave looked at me and seemed to realize my unwillingness. He hesitated for a moment and took me into his arms, "Never mind. Forget him. I won't let you see him again in the future."His words made my heart beat faster.What did he mean by saying so?I raised my head to look at Dave, "Are you going to...""No, he is my uncle. How could I do such a thing?"As soon as he finished his words, the car also stopped.I turned my head and saw that the departure hall of the airport was next to the car. Judging from the appearance, it was the same airport which I had seen when I had arrived earlier.Dave gave the mask back to me, "Let's go. I'll take you to buy a flight ticket."With Dave by my side, I got a first class flight ticket.We boarded the plane not long after. Inside, two people were already seated in the seats next to ours. Among them, a woman was wearing a large pair of sunglasses that covered half of her face. Even so, I still felt she looked a little familiar.When I looked at h
"Lita asked me to invite you over. In fact, I had finished filming there at that time. She said it was a good time and introduced me to film another movie where I would play the leading female role. At her request, I left one of my assistants in place to meet you..."So far, she hasn't mentioned Dave yet."I didn't know what had happened after that. It wasn't until the trial began in court that Mr..." Jane glanced at Dave, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Mitaka contacted me, saying he would introduce top resources abroad to me and asked me to deny..."Speaking of this, Jane suddenly choked.She stared straight at Dave as her face turned pale. "Mr. Mitaka, I, I'm getting off the plane.""Mom!""Madam, the young master just played in the amusement section for children outside for a while."When Jane was about to head out, an old woman entered the first class with a little boy in her arms.I looked over and found that the boy was about a year old and his little face was fair as we
Dave looked at me, "I wasn't sure either at first but when I first met her, I mentioned the incident and Lita immediately told me all the details. Moreover, she was quite specific about the detail of her kneeling and kowtowing. My family members went to the hospital later so no one else knew about it except her and me."I was stunned.Dave was right. No one knew about that except for him and I.How did Lita know?I looked at Dave, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then why do you believe it is her? Haven't you ever thought that the one who saved you is actually me and that regarding this matter, actually, it was I who had told Lita about this...""Is it you?"When Dave said these words, I could clearly see a light flashing in his eyes.It seemed to be the best answer he had been looking forward to.I looked at him and asked, "If it were me, What were you going to do?""If it were you, I would marry you. I've done so many wrongs and I took someone else as you by mistake. I'll compensa
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
