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
Two men came over and greeted, "Mr. Mitaka."Noticing me, their eyes lit up. One of them said, "Oh, Mr. Mitaka, you are here with a female companion tonight. Why didn't you bring her with you a few days ago?"The other said, "If you have such a beautiful female companion by your side, will you bring her to an occasion where there are many lustful men?""That's true. That's true.""Mr. Mitaka, this female companion of yours is indeed so beautiful."Both of them were flattering Dave however, their words indicated that they only treated me like a disposable girlfriend of Dave.I didn't mind their words but I heard Dave next to me say in a low voice, "This is my fiancee." With a hint of displeasure in his voice.As soon as he said these words, the two men showed surprised expressions on their faces, "Fi... fiancée! When you get married, remember to inform us."The two of them said one after the other and then left.Seeing them leave, I was relieved.Later on, quite a few more people came
Janet quickly looked up and explained to Bleak, "I didn't say that." Then she raised her hand, intending to slap me!When I was about to dodge her, Dave reached out his hand from the side and directly blocked Janet's.Then, I heard his slightly unhappy voice, "Mr. Bleak, could it be that you can't restrain your woman well? Are you going to let me teach her a lesson for you?"Every word of his was as cold as ice."No need to trouble you, Mr. Mitaka." At this time, there was a trace of displeasure on Bleak's face as well. He placed his arms around Janet's waist and walked away.I looked at the backs of the two. Although they left the venue in harmony as if they were the perfect couple, in reality, Bleak was pinching Janet's waist tightly with his hand.The veins on the back of his hands were obvious.Janet, who was wearing high heels, twisted her body from time to time as she accidentally stumbled a little."Not bad." As soon as the two of them left, Dave pulled me into his arms, "You'
"Come on. Come on. Let everyone see what you look like right now. There's no way you will be Mrs. Mitaka for too long. Weren't you happy about it?" Janet had indeed come back for revenge!"I want to see her face too."At this time, Bleak came out of nowhere and shook away my hand with which I had covered my face with.He tugged at my hair and turned my face around.Everyone was stunned by what was right in front of them.Most of them looked frightened rather than taking pleasure in my misfortune.I could imagine what my face looked like. It should be the same as one in a horror movie.Finally, a woman thought of taking out her cell phone to take photos of me. I was so scared that I lowered my head and covered my face, pleading, "Let me go.""I won't." Bleak laughed coldly, "Janet told me you looked like this just now. I wasn't convinced but I didn't expect that Mr. Mitaka would have such a unique hobby for women."People around began to take pictures of me.Everyone, who originally h
The next day, we returned to our City.I went to the hospital for an examination and the doctor tested my skin. After a week, the hospital simulated and formulated a complete set of treatment plans for my skin.And they also simulated the extent of the recovery rate.According to the simulation, my face probably would restore its original appearance after a year's treatment and half a year's recovery. However, there would be some differences but I could accept such a result.That day, Dave and I signed an agreement in the hospital and planned to get the treatment started a week later.I had bought a lot of painting tools. In fact, it wasn't a problem for me not to go out.I was indulged in drawing every day. Even if I just drew a sketch of fruits, I enjoyed myself.Days passed by one after another.The day for my treatment was around the corner. I inexplicably became nervous. I was afraid of the risk of the treatment. Moreover, I was afraid that I couldn't recover well.On the night b
The next day, my period came, making me have an excuse for not making love with Dave. But every time I closed my eyes, the scene on the screen that night kept showing up in front of my eyes.At night, I would dream of the same scene and I could even hear the screaming, and begging for mercy.After three days, I couldn't stand it anymore.The moment Dave opened the door, I suddenly hugged him, "Dave Mitaka, I'm sorry. That day, in your study, I saw those whom you've locked up in a cell."I had to say it. Otherwise, I probably would drive myself crazy.He didn't seem to be surprised at all. He hugged me with one hand and said flatly, "I know. That night you asked if I had killed anyone. I knew you surely had seen it."It turned out that he had long known I had peeked on him in his study. In that case, why didn't he ask?Could it be that he was waiting for me to talk about it first?The look on his face made me even more afraid. I didn't know what to say. He hugged me and said, "Those p
The room was antique and with the furniture all made of rosewood, the carving on it was exquisite.Damian respectfully invited Kelvin to sit on the seat of honor.Unexpectedly, Kelvin sat on a rosewood armchair with a reluctant look on his face, "Oh, why are you like the old fashioned ones in my family? How come you are particular about these things? It's not as comfortable to sit on these as to sit on a sofa.""The ones I get along with all like them. I'll have to buy some." Damian said with a smile, "Did you check the works displayed in the exhibition hall? What do you think of them?""Not good." Kelvin said directly.Damian didn't get angry as he continued to ask, "Why don't you give me some advice?"As he said this, he took out a booklet displaying the works in the exhibition hall and handed it to Kelvin.I sat by the side and saw Kelvin flipping through the booklet as he complained with Damian smiling apologetically on the side.The more I saw it, the more subtle I thought the re
After hanging up, I couldn't help but feel confused.What should I gift Kim with?I went home, sat in front of the computer and searched Google. Then I heard someone reading behind me, "What kind of gift does a tough woman focusing on her career like?"As soon as I turned my head, I saw Dave, who was dressed in a suit, standing behind me with his back bent as he stared at the screen closely."Who's going to have a birthday celebration?"Dave straightened up, undid his necktie, and asked."Kim." I didn't intend to hide anything from him."It turns out that it is she..." Dave was silent for a while before saying, "If you need to go out to buy anything, I will accompany you."I searched online for a long time, only to find that most answers said that women were all inherently gentle in their hearts and that those women who looked strong on the surface were just guarding themselves by pretending to be strong.Never would they let anyone find out they were weak so there was no need to trea
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
