Looking at the homepage of my cell phone in my hand, I felt a faint uneasiness in my heart.I had fallen asleep at noon the day before. Now, I was so hungry that my stomach was growling.I went out and bought breakfast at a nearby pancake stall. After finishing breakfast, I drank a cup of coffee.As I was about to work, Dave came back.What surprised me was that instead of wearing a suit today, he wore a pair of dark colored jeans paired with a white shirt.He didn't even trim his hair.Showing up like this, he was completely different from what he used to be.He looked much more approachable.Dave looked at me and slightly curled up his lips, "I'm back."Hearing his words, I felt a little sour in my heart.Dave used to say so to me when he returned home. Hearing him say so once again, I felt as if I had traveled back in time.I opened my mouth slightly but didn't respond to him in the end. Instead, I continued to look at the screen and continue my work.Seeing that I didn't respond,
The atmosphere in the car became much more gloomy.Seeing that the situation had came to such an extent, I said decisively, "Mr. Mitaka, what exactly do you want to do? What is the point of you pestering me like this?"Holding the steering wheel with his lean and powerful hands, Dave looked ahead and didn't answer.It wasn't until the car parked next to a restaurant that he looked at me and said, "Since I found out that you are Reed Defiant, no one can change my mind. It doesn't have anything to do with who you are."After that, he got out of the car, walked to my side quickly, and opened the door to the passenger seat.I hesitated for a moment and got out of the car in the end.It happened that a taxi drove over.I stopped the taxi and directly got in.Dave didn't stop me from doing instead, he stood on the side and looked at me but I couldn't see his expression clearly.I went back to the studio.Not long after I arrived, Oogway came knocking.Holding a large lunch box in his hands,
Bang!There was a loud sound.In an instant, it was smashed into pieces.Dave finally stopped hitting Oogway. He turned to look at me, stunned."Dave Mitaka, what on earth are you trying to do?" In the end, Dave was willing to hear me out. I continued, "I'm not Reed Defiant! How many more times do I have to emphasize this? Something is wrong with your brain, right? You can live in the past however, why do you have to connect me to someone irrelevant in your past?!""I... ""I don't want to hear any other words from you! Yes, I conceived the child after Oogway and I both got drunk and had a one night stand. Even so, each life has the right to live in the world. What does the fact that I gave birth to him have anything to do with you?""Besides, you keep saying that you will love me. How self righteous are you? What kind of charm does a man like you have? You are self conceited, childish, and self righteous! I'd only be crazy to fall in love with you."Disregarding what Dave had said,
When Oogway was clearing up the broken pieces on the ground, I looked in the direction of the black coffee cup and thought for a moment, planning to put it on a cabinet on the side.If Dave comes here in the future, then...Oh, yes. He said that he wouldn't come here again."This is Dave's cup, right? I'll give it to him when I have time."Oogway came over, took the cup over from my hand, and put it back in the box where the cup had been placed.He could always read my mind.It wasn't until I saw the swelling on his face that I realized Dave had beaten him up just now. I walked over to him and touched his face, asking with concern, "Does it hurt? I'll help you relieve your pain with ice."The refrigerator in the studio had an ice maker in it.Fetching some ice out of the refrigerator, I put some ice in Oogway's handkerchief he brought with him and relieved his pain with cold compresses.With Oogway sitting on the couch, I sat on the side and carefully helped him relieved his pain wit
Looking at Oogway's back, I felt somewhat disturbed in my heart.If I decided to be with Oogway, at this age, I would inevitably be intimate with Oogway.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little confused in my heart.A week later, I was almost done with the landscape design. After communicating with Patrick, I could get the indoor design started.Speaking of indoor design, I was only in charge of a small part of it.It would take me two weeks to finish it.That afternoon, as soon as I came out of the Institute of Architecture Design, I saw Oogway standing at the entrance.Standing against the sun, he, who wore a white shirt, looked handsome and warm.When we had breakfast, I told him I would come here in the afternoon. I didn't expect that he would come here to wait for me.Walking up to him quickly, I asked, "How come you are waiting for me here?""Yes." Oogway took the documents over from my hand and asked me gently, "Do you have time tonight?""What's the matter?"In the
After I put the dress on and came out, I looked at myself in the mirror.Well, the pearl of this dress looked quite eye catching.If I hadn't seen the supreme Pearl, I probably would have thought that this dress wasn't bad. However, I had seen it, thinking that whether it was in terms of color or smoothness, the pearl on the dress in my hand had been greatly overshadowed.However, to stop Oogway from spending big, I pretended to like the dress very much, saying to the lady, "I will take this set."Oogway stood next to me without saying anything.After I changed my clothes and came out, I was going to hand the dress to the lady and ask her to pack it up, only to hear her say, "I am done packing it up. Your boyfriend has paid the bill."As she spoke, she handed the packed dress over to me.I looked down.The one lying inside was the dress of the limited edition."No need. I will get the ordinary one."I refused. After all, I knew that pearl could make a piece of clothing more valuable b
Seeing this, Jamin nodded repeatedly and said, "Alina, my Oogway is introverted. Even so, once he decides that he loves someone, he won't change his mind. He surely won't let you down. So, you shouldn't let him down either.""Father, it is a matter between us. Please don't put pressure on her."Oogway spoke up for me.His consideration did move me.Hearing his words, Jamin could only nod his head, "I trust your judgment. This Alina is a good girl at first sight. I... I will be waiting for the day when you guys bear a strong and fat grandson for me. I will be excited if it could be as soon as possible."Oogway and I looked at each other, then realized that although Dave had told Jamin about the relationship between Oogway and me…He didn't mention Bryan to Jamin at all.Even so, neither Oogway nor me said anything more.After a while, Oogway's sister, Anita Mitaka, arrived.It was the first time I had seen Anita.She, who was short haired, came in wearing a suit and high heels. Althoug
"What's wrong?" Oogway naturally reached out and grabbed my hand.I hesitated for a moment and shook my head in the end, "I'm fine."If I told Oogway the truth on such an occasion, I surely would put myself in a difficult position.When I looked up at Dave again, I saw that he had curled up his rose colored lips into a shallow smile.Seeing that Dave was here, Jamin was much happier. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, come on. Since everyone is here, let's get the dishes served."Oogway pulled my hand.The two of us sat side by side.Before the meal started, Dave proposed first, "Uncle Oogway brought back his girlfriend home for the first time. It's such a good day. I happen to have two bottles of wine that have been stored for 30 years in the cellar. Why don't we open them?""Okay, get them over here quickly!" Hearing this, Jamin was clearly delighted.Dave took out a key from his pocket and handed it to the servant. The servant turned around and left.I wasn't good at drinking,
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
