I went upstairs to my old apartment. I knocked on the door but after a long time, there was still no response.

It made sense. According to Teresa's words previously, it made sense why there was no one home.

I looked around and curled the note into a ball then I wrapped it carefully and stucked it on the doorknob.

After, I turned around and left.

At the entrance, I rushed over to a stopping taxi. The passenger inside seemed to be getting off.

As I was about to get in the car, I found the one sitting inside was Oogway.

"Reed."

As soon as Oogway got out of the car, he was surprised to see me.

Thinking that I was waiting for Oogway, the driver drove off after Oogway got out of the car.

Oogway asked, "Why are you here? Are you looking for me?"

"No." I waved my hand, hesitated for a moment, and told him the truth, "The apartment I use to live in was given to me by my grandmother. Before, I sold it to pay for her medical bills. I didn't expect her to die soon. I want to buy it back now but

    "Mr. Mitaka, you're back." Seeing Dave, the woman quickly greeted him and then looked at me.She was stunned for a moment but didn't say anything."This is the future Mrs. President." Dave introduced me directly to the woman.The woman was extra stunned.She still showed a standard smile and said, "Mrs. President, nice to meet you."Although she said so verbally, I could see there was a hint of contempt and sarcasm in her eyes.As soon as we walked out of the elevator, Dee came over.Seeing that I was with Dave, he greeted us naturally, "Mr. Mitaka, Miss Defiiant."Dave said to Dee, "Notify them, I'm here for the meeting.""Alright."Dee hurried back to his seat.I followed Dave into his office. After a while, the woman came in with two cups of coffee. She placed one on Dave's table and handed the other to me, saying lightly, "Mrs. President, here is your coffee.""Thank you."I could feel her hostility.I hadn't seen this woman before. Dave just said, "Janet, take care of her.""Ok

    In the dim light of the underground parking lot, I looked at him with my heart beating faster.The car drove out of the parking lot but it didn't go in my direction. I was a little surprised, "Where are we going?""Somewhere." Dave said mysteriously.I knew it was useless for me to ask anything further so I didn't.Halfway through the ride, I asked confused, "Why do you think Janet was sent by someone to be by your side? Isn't is dangerous?"Dave drove the car as he said, "Don't worry. She'll be sent away in a few days. I'm just keeping an eye on her moves for the next few days."Hearing him say so, I couldn't say anything more.The car drove all the way to the entrance of a residential quarter located in the third ring road of the City. It was the villa area.Dave parked the car at the entrance first and said, "We'll live here in the future.""We?"He didn't answer me and continued to drive forward. There were rows of business buildings less than two or three hundred meters ahead.

    Dave went to work the next day leaving me by myself at home. The servants at home were hired to work hourly per my request.I had nothing to do. Except for studying internal decoration on the web, I spent most of my time feeling bored and doing nothing.On the fifth day, I finally decided to go out to the supermarket to buy some fruits.I went out wearing the mask. When I finished buying all the things I needed, paid the bill, and came out of the supermarket, I heard someone behind me call out, "Reed Defiant?"I turned around and saw Helen and Thomas standing behind me.When I saw the two of them, I couldn't help but think of Lita who had gone abroad.When Helen saw me, her eyes turned red. It wasn't because she was sad instead, she was angry.She walked to me and wanted to take off my mask. I quickly stepped back to protect my mask with determination.I wanted to leave but Helen pulled me back, "Reed Defiant, you know you can't face me with dignity anymore. If your grandmother know

    Seeing that Dave had almost finished packing up his things, I asked, "Do you have time now? I want to buy some painting tools." Fearing that he would refuse me, I said quickly, "Just for this time. I will try my best to buy every tool I need for painting but if you are in a hurry, I will wait until you come back."The reason I was in a hurry was that I wanted to find something to do in the next few days. In this way, I wouldn't be bored because of idleness."Yes. Let's go." Dave immediately agreed.We went downstairs with his luggage. It wasn't until I got downstairs that I discovered that two cars were already waiting on him.The door of the car opened and Dee got out to hurriedly help Dave with his luggage.After Dee put the luggage in the trunk, Dave said, "You should go to the airport first. I will accompany her to get something after I will.""But, the time...""No buts!"Hearing his words, Dee, who originally wanted to say something just nodded and got back in the car.Only th

    We entered the waiting hall. Dave and I sat alone in the first class lounge. After a while, Dee came in and looked at me, saying with some embarrassment, "Mr. Mitaka, it's true that Miss Defiant has 51 percent of the shares of the Defiant Group and..."Speaking of this, Dee paused.Dave raised his eyes to look at him.Dee continued, "And later, although the Defiant Group didn't make any further big move, it donated money to some primary schools in the name of Miss Defiant.""What?"I was stunned.Who is this person? What kind of great philanthropist is he?How come he dared to use my name to do good deeds?"How could he use her name? Defiant Group has nothing to do with her in the first place." When Dave spoke, there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in his tone.It was obvious that this person's way of doing things had exceeded his expectations.Dee frowned slightly, "It's like this, Miss Defiant originally held 4% of the shares of Defiant Group so he...."I roughly understood what

    The next day, I was awakened by the sound of voices outside the door. Realizing there was someone outside and I was naked, I was so scared that I got up quickly.The ambiguous smell on my body hadn't subsided yet. I went to the bathroom and washed up, making myself smell fragrant.When I came out in a bathrobe, I, who originally wanted to wear the clothes I had worn yesterday, found that the clothes were gone.I had to brace myself and gently opened the door to the bedroom slightly with my mask on my face.As I looked outside, I saw there were three open hangers in the hall, two of which hung men's clothes, including sets of suits and shirts.On the other hanger, women's clothes were hanging on it, including formal dresses and clothes on usual days.Three escorts were standing next to the hanger.Dave seemed to have heard the sound of the door opening as he said to the escorts, "Hang these clothes in the locker room inside."He then walked over to me."These are..."

    At this time, the water in the bathtub had already reached my waist. Dave held me, kissed me, and murmured, "Baby, I have been thinking about you all day long today. Can you tag along with me tomorrow or... later in the evening? Come with me. I have a strong addiction to you. From the past to now, I can't get rid of you no matter how hard I try.""I, I'll wait for you here."I was quite clear headed.Especially at this moment, I was facing the French window. As long as I looked up, I could see my face reflected on the French window. Although Dave didn't mind...I did mind."I don't mind at all. No one will mind." Dave wrapped his arms around my waist, leading the movements."I'll wait for you here."No matter how indulged I was, I was sober when it came to this matter.Dave and I made love from the bathtub to the bed. He seemed to have endless strength this time. No matter how hard he tortured me, he didn't feel satisfied.When I woke up the next morning, Dave had left.I was the onl

    Dave came over calmly and "pulled" me out from behind the pillar at the door, trying to take me to his companion.There was both males and females all wearing formal gowns.The men's hairstyle was neat and the women's makeup was exquisite.This was especially true for one woman among them. She was dressed in a noble champagne colored gown. With a shawl draped over her shoulders, she had tied up her hair into a bun.She had an air of dominance.With a rough glance at her, I knew l was overwhelmingly inferior compared with her.In front of such a woman, I wasn't willing to come out at all."I, I'll go first!" I panicked, got rid of his hand, and ran out quickly.I don't want to embarrass him.I thought it would be fine as long as I ran away. However, Dave quickly caught up with me and held me in his arms, "Okay, okay, I won't force you.""I... ","Wait for me here. I'll talk to them and then go up to keep you company."He comforted me in a gentle voice.He was so gentle.I nodded sadly

    The next day, with Oogway having something to do, I went to see Jessica alone.I arrived at the ward. Before I could enter, through the glass at the door, I saw that the outer room of the ward had changed.The outer room, which had been previously empty, now lay a desk.On the desk, there lay writing brushes, ink sticks, paper, and inkstones.At this time, holding a brush in his hands, Kelvin was drawing on a piece of paper.With the doll in her arms, Jessica watched him on the side carefully.After standing outside for a while, I pushed the door open and went in.As soon as the door was pushed open, both of them looked at me at the same time, especially Jessica, whom I hadn't seen for two days. Looking as skinny as ever, she looked much better.Seeing me, she grinned.It meant that she remembered me.Her eyes looked clear and bright. And she didn't look like a patient at all.I walked over and held the bag in my hands, "Aunt Jessica, see what I brought to you."Without saying anythi

    Soon, we arrived at the floor where Jessica's ward lay. When we went over, a nurse happened to come out of it. Upon seeing us, she greeted Oogway respectfully, "Dean Oogway.""Yes." Oogway nodded and asked, "How's Miss Jessica?"After Jessica was transferred here, Oogway completed the registration for her under the name of Jessica Drake.As for this, I didn't raise any objections about it. Because in my opinion, the Newman Family no longer regarded her as a family member.The nurse replied, "The patient has fallen asleep. I measured her temperature just now. It's normal. This afternoon, we examined her, only to find that she is seriously malnourished. She suffers from a low degree cataract in her eyes. More heinously, there are parasites inside her body. Besides..."Standing there, the nurse told us about the situation of Jessica roughly.Hearing the ins and outs, Kelvin looked serious on the side.Oogway asked, "Can we go in and have a look at her?""Yes. But she has fallen asleep. H

    Kelvin spoke loudly over the phone.Moreover, it was pretty quiet inside the car. Oogway seemed to hear his words and glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes, "Is Mr. Kelvin coming over?"I nodded.Oogway immediately said, "Then I'll arrange a room for him on the top floor of the rehabilitation center.""Well, sorry to trouble you."I was grateful for Oogway's attentiveness.As we were about to arrive home. I suddenly remembered something and said to Oogway, "Can you take me somewhere?""Yes, I can." Oogway nodded.I got an address online and sent it to him.Oogway immediately turned the car around and drove there with me.As he turned the car around, he raised his hand and looked at me with some displeasure, saying, "In the future, wherever you want to go, just tell me directly. You don't have to ask my opinion first. I will always be available for you."I nodded. Only after that did I tell him where I was going.It was a light and textile market selling cloth and hand made craf

    I went up and supported Jessica readily. Fearing that she wouldn't accept it, I said, "Aunt, can I bathe you? By the way... I can bathe your baby too.""It sounds good!" Jessica accepted it happily.All the nurses looked at me with strange looks.Ignoring the looks, I stepped forward and helped Jessica take a bath.The rehabilitation center of the Way Hospital was in a good condition. There was a Jacuzzi. After I finished pouring the water into the bath, I let Jessica sit inside.I cleaned up the doll first. Seeing that, Jessica became quite obedient.I bathed her with scented soap first and then rubbed her with a bath towel little by little.It had been a long time since Jessica took a bath, making her body covered with a layer of shell like and hard skin. Seeing so, I asked Oogway to fetch me some white vinegar. After that, I bathed her bits by bits.Sensing that the water turned cold, I scooped the cold water out with a basin and added hot water in.Because it had been years sinc

    I stood still and said to her, "We won't do that. We... we'll transfer you and your child to a better place. She... She..." I hesitated for a moment and said, "She is all grown up. And she will have to go to school soon. It's not good for her to be here. She has to go to a better place where there are teachers to impart her knowledge, which is good for her."Upon hearing this, Jessica stared at me with her pair of clear and bright eyes as if she had understood my words and suddenly became as obedient as a child, saying, "Really? Is it true that someone will teach her?""Yes, it is true. The teacher is great and experienced. Any child who follows him can learn a lot and become smart." I tried to persuade her.Jessica nodded desperately, "Okay, okay. That will be so great." She looked at the doll in her arm, "Reed, did you hear that? You can learn soon.""Yes, yes." I echoed. And my tears kept falling.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go transfer her to another

    The nurse took us inside and said, "To be honest, before you, nobody visited the patients here. Generally speaking, the reason why people send patients here is that they have a guilty conscience. They are too embarrassed to kill them and yet find them a burden. So they send them here and pay for their stay here to keep their conscience at bay."The more the nurse said, the more upset I felt.It was quiet on the fifth floor as well.I saw that there was a small window on the door of each ward. With the window high up on the door, someone my height couldn't see what was inside.However, Oogway was taller. He looked around with a frown and a dignified look on his face.Seeing him look like this, I was worried."Bang!" When we were going, a sound rang all of a sudden.I was so frightened that I shrank backward and looked at the door where the noise came from, only to find a face attached tightly to the window on the door.The face was black, dirty, and skinny.The pair of eyes above were

    Oogway and I arrived at the gate together.As expected, there was a security guard at the gate . We went over and saw the old security guard laying there in a thick military green overcoat, listening to music.The sound of the music was quite loud.It wasn't until we called him for a long while that he heard us.Looking at us in discontent, the old guard got up and opened the window of the gatehouse, leaving it ajar."Hello, we want to...""No visit is allowed during the New Year."As soon as I opened my mouth, the guard snapped. After that, he closed the window.He was afraid that we would harass him. Then he locked the window from inside.I became anxious all of a sudden.Oogway beside me wasn't in a hurry at all.He reached out, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a stack of pink banknotes before putting them in front of the window.The security guard's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the money. Instead of opening the window, he came out directly from the gatehouse, o

    I glanced at it and found that there seemed to be an inkstone in the first box.But what was different was that the inkstone wasn't black but red.I was confused. However, as soon as the Master of the Newman Family saw this, his hands began to tremble. Placing his hand a few meters away from the inkstone, he seemed to intend to touch it but dared not do so.After a long while, he asked, "Is this for me?""Of course, it is a red silk inkstone I got by chance. I don't know about this kind of inkstones. It will be a waste if I keep it by my side."Oogway said casually.Although he spoke lightly, I could tell that this inkstone should be quite rare."Thank you, Mr. Oogway." When the Master spoke, he had been staring at the inkstone. It wasn't until a long time later that he gently caressed it with his hands.His expression showed that he loved it so much that he couldn't bear to let it go.After that, Oogway said to the maid, "Open this too."Hearing his words, the maid opened the secon

    There was a cold and determined look in his eyes. Confirming that he wouldn't say it, I wouldn't force him further.Moreover, I knew well that I couldn't control what they were going to do.What I could do was to protect Bryan well in case he would get hurt.I nodded lightly, "Okay. Then I'll go and accompany Bryan."As soon as I intended to open the door, Dave directly pulled me from behind with force. I was caught off guard and fell backward.The next second, I directly sat in Dave's arms.My face turned red. And I said, "No." I struggled to get up. However, Dave restrained me firmly in his arms and placed his other hand on my waist. Holding my waist with both hands, he said to me, "Turn around.""No. I'm leaving.""You can't." Dave refused.I closed my eyes, thinking about Oogway's words and my own identity.Although I wanted to be closer to Dave, I couldn't do it with my identity.I was Oogway's fiancee. Regardless of the excuse, the identity, or the reason. I made up my mind,
