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
Desmond had so many women by his side so, in the woman's opinion, it was only natural for her to seize the chance to take advantage of him.She didn't sincerely care about whether or not Desmond remembered her name."Okay, okay, okay, I'll buy them!" Desmond surely didn't want to make this woman angry. He looked at me and said, "Sister in law! Sister in law!"I looked at Desmond and said with a smile, "Mr. Desmond, do you know who I'm giving these heels to?""Who is it?" ."Kim. It's her birthday in a few days. This is my birthday gift for her."As soon as I mentioned Kim...Desmond's expression immediately changed.He didn't even hesitate for a second before saying, "Sister in law, keep the heels."The woman was taken aback, calling out, "Mr. Desmond.""There are so many pairs of heels. Why does it have to be this pair?"I didn't know if it was my illusion but after I had mentioned Kim, Desmond dramatically changed his attitude towards the woman next to him."But I only like this pa
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,
