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
My heart was in a mess and a lot of conjectures poured into my mind.I even wondered if Dave would come back.Thanks to the moonlight outside the window, I saw the clock on the wall indicated it was 3 a.m.It was 3 a.m but Dave hadn't come back yet. Could something have happened to him?Should I call him? What if he misunderstood that something had happened to me?When I was in a dilemma...Crack. Crack.The sound of someone opening the door with a key came from downstairs.My heart was about to jump out of my throat.I curled up in the quilt with my heart pounding. Then I heard sounds of footsteps indicating that someone was coming upstairs.Dave.During this period, I was quite familiar with the rhythm of his movements when coming upstairs.After confirming that it was him, I quickly got up from the bed and went to the door. I saw him on the stairs."Hun!"I rushed over and hugged his neck all of a sudden.When I realized how I was addressing him, I was a little shocked but I cou
I took the gift upstairs.To be honest, this was the first time I'll be seeing Kim after my face had been disfigured.Knock! Knock! Knock! I knocked on the door a few times.The door opened in less than three seconds. The woman inside opened her arms and hugged me, saying, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much."She looked down at the two gifts in my hands and said with a smile, "I said you didn't need to prepare gifts for me but you are still so considerate."As she spoke, she took the two gifts over first, looked up at me with a mask on, and said, "Oh, how come you are so fully armed at my home? Sure enough, you look more and more like a rich lady."As Kim was talking to herself, she reached out to take off my mask with one hand and before I could realize what had happened....Kim, who originally had a joyful expression on her face, suddenly stopped smiling. A second later, she became surprised, asking, "What's wrong with your face?""It's a long story."
"Aren't you with Dave? You told me a fairy tale whose plots seemed to only happen in a novel. Judging from the current situation, could it be that the whole story was made up by you?"Kim was hot tempered. Her words stabbed right into my heart.I suddenly realized I seemed to have been played around by Dave again.In such a short time, he had won me over easily. Could it be that it was because of this that he didn't cherish me?Thinking of what he said last night, I even began to doubt whether he had ever thought of marrying me.It was Kim's birthday today and I couldn't make her sad. I suppressed the sadness in my heart and said to Kim, "No, it's alright. He often contacts Teresa. It's just an ordinary meeting between them. He informed me in advance."As I said this, I took Kim's hand and wanted to walk into the cafe.Kim shook off my hand, "Reed, how come you are brainless when it comes to Dave?""No, give me your cell phone. I want to call him.""Forget it."I didn't want to call
Kim stood up and said in an imposing manner, "I want to talk to him!"With a bitter look on his face, Desmond said, "Miss Kim, to tell you the truth, most of the ones around me can be offended at will. Only two people are exceptions. One is my father and the other is Dave.""Forget it." I didn't want to put Desmond in a difficult position either. "I will solve this problem by myself.""F**k off! If you can solve it by yourself, you would have solved it already."Kim looked at me as if she was so disappointed in me.Desmond spoke up for Dave, "Dave surely has his own reasons for doing things. Although he treated Lita well before, he treats you differently, which I can see. There surely is a reason for him to do so.""Haha." Kim looked at him and rolled her eyes at him exaggeratingly, "What if his childhood sweetheart took off her clothes, he did something good to help her solve her physiological need, right?""Well.." As soon as Desmond heard Kim's words, unexpectedly, he didn't say an
Could it be that Kim was right? Could it be that he and Teresa had made love fiercely, which is why he is exhausted?No way.I remembered every time Dave tormented me, it was I who would be exhausted and he was always energetic.By the time I went upstairs, Dave had entered the bathroom.His suit was still on the sofa.I unconsciously picked it up and smelt it.Except for the faint smell of tobacco, there was no other scents."What's wrong? Are you checking my suit?"As I held the suit in my hands and smelled it, Dave came out of the bathroom.I threw the suit aside in a panic, looked up and saw him leaning against the door of the bathroom looking at me.The lights in the bedroom were off and he stood against the light. I couldn't see his expression clearly."No, I..."Thinking of the fact that I saw Teresa being with him during the day, I felt turbulent in my heart and didn't know what to say.Should I ask him directly?Dave came over, put his hand around my waist, and gently press
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
