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
"Mr. Mitaka, I'm Alina Jetson."I said word by word.I warned myself in my heart repeatedly that I couldn't make a compromise.I surely couldn't compromise.I used to be in between Lita and Dave in such a ridiculous way.Now, I didn't want to be ridiculous again.Dave didn't understand the meaning of my words. He held me in his arms and said to me, "It doesn't matter who you are. I know you are Reed Defiant, which is enough."Am I Reed Defiant?Dave Mitaka, you are so wrong.I'm no longer my oldself anymore.However, I didn't reveal my true thoughts as I was being held in his arms. The gap between my strength and that of his and what had once happened made me realize that...If he wanted to make love with me, there was no way I could resist.So, I simply lay there. "Mr. Mitaka, if you want to take advantage of a helpless me, do as you wish. After all, I can't resist. However, after that, I will go to the police and report you for rape."Dave had been seducing me however, hearing my w
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
