Oogway looked at Dave, who was pulling me, and finally showed an indignant expression, "Dave, I know that Alina is similar to her. This is one of the reasons why I paid attention to her but I hope you can understand that five years ago...""Shut up!" Dave immediately interrupted Oogway's words and looked at him gloomily, "Uncle Oogway, it's time for you to leave.""Let go of Alina. I need to treat her injury.""Alina?" Dave looked at Oogway and sneered, "Uncle Oogway, you'd better mind your own business. I will deal with her injury.""Mr. Mitaka."I turned around and broke free from Dave's restraint then I stood a meter away from him.Dave looked at me and frowned slightly.Seeing that he wanted to say something, I snapped, "I found it strange before. As the President of Mitaka Group, you can get any woman you want however, you took care of me, an insignificant designer well. I have been wondering whether I am so charismatic to make you pay special attention to me, Mr. Mitaka." I pau
Oogway's room was as clean as it used to be many years ago.I took a shower quickly and got changed.Wiping my hair, I walked out of the bathroom.Oogway was sitting in the hall with a book in hand. Seeing me, he put down the book and walked quickly to me. Helping me to the sofa, he said in a warm tone, "Let me help you check your injury then I'll go buy the medicine."Oogway was down on his knees in front of me, holding my left foot with both hands, he gently twisted it."Hiss..." Feeling much pain, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.Oogway immediately lessened his strength and said with a slight frown, "You didn't hurt your bones. Even so, I'd better go out and buy a spray. Wait for me here."He spoke as he got up and walked out.As he was about to go out, he reminded me, "Don't move randomly.""Okay." I nodded.After Oogway went out, I didn't move. Sitting on the sofa obediently, I looked around.His home was as it used to be, looking minimalistic. There was nothing else but
To my surprise, as soon as I was between them, both of them stopped fighting. They were afraid of hurting me.I stood on Oogway's side and looked at Dave with great vigilance.Oogway came forward, "Dave Mitaka, do you know what you are doing?"Oogway had always called Dave by his first name. It was the first time I had seen Oogway call Dave by his full name.Without looking at Oogway, Dave kept staring at me and curled up the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile, "Uncle Oogway, you have been hiding my woman by your side for five years. How come you ask me what I am doing?""She's not Reed Defiant! Reed Defiant is dead!" Oogway looked at the clothes on my body and said, "Her clothes are soaked wet and there aren't any clothes for women in my place, so I got her to try Reed's clothes."Hearing his words, Dave had a mocking smile on his face, "Uncle Oogway, do you think I'm a fool?""If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do about that." Oogway said. He then helped me to the
Standing in front of my office desk, I asked Dave, "Mr. Mitaka, what can I do for you?"Dave looked around and looked up at me, "Do you work on your design here?"He had no emotion on his face like he used to. When he spoke, it was formally.Feeling slightly relieved in my heart, I nodded. "Yes."He nodded, stood up, and put his hands in his pockets, saying, "I have prepared a temporary studio for you. It's a two story studio. You can live upstairs and work downstairs. You can live there while working on this project.""There's no need, Mr. Mitaka." I subconsciously rejected him.Dave walked two steps outside. Hearing that I refused him, he wasn't surprised at all. He paused and said, "This club is quite important to me. You, the designer, are the most important step and the guarantee of the entire project's success. For the sake of this project, you deserve to be treated like this.""Mr. Mitaka, I can work on my design here...""Ok. Then I will kick these people out so you can enjoy
I spoke to Patrick about the project.When I hung up the phone and looked up again, I saw that Dave had finished his coffee and he was washing the mug by the sink on the side.Seeing this, I was stunned.It seemed to be the first time I have seen Dave washing something by himself.His action made me feel sour in my heart.He and Teresa must get along with each other well.For a man like Dave, him casually washed his mug after finishing the coffee, shows that he surely was on good terms with his wife...After washing the mug, he looked up at me.I looked away quickly and looked at my cell phone, pretending like I was going to make a call. However, I couldn't suppress the sadness in my heart."I have to go now." Dave's voice came from the direction of the sink."Okay." I forced a smile and looked at him, "Goodbye, Mr. Mitaka."He opened the door and left.I finally didn't have to suppress my emotions. Squatting down in the corner little by little, I buried my face between my knees.My h
The next day, he sent two old masters to me.I went to the airport to pick them up personally.It wasn't until I arrived at the airport that I realized that the Town was shrouded in a fog, delaying the plane from taking off by two hours.It would be troublesome if I went back so I simply waited by the side.When I was waiting, someone with a familiar voice passed by me.It was Teresa.Although I hadn't seen her for five years, I recognized her at a glance.Compared to her looks five years ago, she almost didn't change. Even her hairstyle was exactly the same.Wearing a long light blue dress, she carried a Birkin bag decorated with lots of accessories in hand.Staring at her closely, I wondered who she was picking up.Teresa waited in the waiting area for a while then a young man in a black T shirt came out.Seeing him, Teresa happily waved her hand.The man walked over to her quickly.Originally, I thought Teresa was here to pick up an ordinary friend of hers however, the next second,
Dave walked to the side of my computer and looked at the design drawing on it, frowning slightly, "What time is it now? Why are you still working?""I'm more used to working at night." I explained.Hearing this, Dave didn't say anything.He pulled out a chair on the side directly and said, "Okay. Go on with your work. I'll be here."As he said this, he rested his hands on the table and looked at me with his pair of black eyes closely.With him staring at me like this, I couldn't work at all.I had no choice but to save the design drawing. Standing up, I said, "Mr. Mitaka, I'm going to bed now."Hearing my words, Dave didn't move.I had no choice but to go upstairs with my cell phones. While walking, I said, "Mr. Mitaka, I'm going to have a rest. Please remember to turn off the lights."With Dave downstairs, I dared not do anything. It wasn't until I heard him turn off the lights, leave and the sound of the car engine came from outside that I let out a sigh of relief.Then, I quietly w
"Let me go! Mr. Mitaka!" Although I struggled, his action made my body change.This change was just like the memory of my body. As long as I touched him, even if I didn't need to do anything, my body would respond to him.Apparently, Dave noticed this characteristic as well. He raised his head slightly, pressed his face close to me, and said, "Look! Your body is more affectionate than you are.""What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" With my hands being controlled by him, I said reluctantly, "Mr. Mitaka, you have a wife. If you do this to me now, will you be worthy of your wife?""My wife?" Dave looked at me and said seriously, "Reed, if I say that before I married her, I made an agreement with her and that I did so mainly to protect you, will you believe me?"He called me Reed.I knew that when he changed clothes for me, he surely had studied my body carefully and confirmed that I was Reed, making him do so to me now.Unfortunately, I didn't want to go back to the past.Hearin
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,
It was night. Even so, I could clearly feel Oogway kept staring at me closely with his pair of profound eyes.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and left.After he left, Bryan, who had been following Dave, suddenly ran over, "Mom, let's set off fireworks together!""Ah... Okay." I nodded.At this moment, Jamin, who had been standing outside all this while, turned around and entered the room.In the blink of an eye, only the three of us were outside the house.We set off most of the fireworks. By the time it was 1 a.m., Bryan was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Thus, we stopped setting off the fireworks.The maid took the fireworks into the room.Holding Bryan in my arms, I said to Dave, "Then we will go back."After that, I turned around, intending to ask the driver to drive us back, only to be suddenly pulled by Dave. Then, I heard his magnetic voice, "Stay here tonight."My heart thumped."Being here without Oogway.. Won't that mean..."In fact, I didn't want to leave a
