The CEO's Switched Bride Chapter 318
It was almost six o'clock. When we went out, there was traffic jam. It was not a long journey, but it took us more than an hour to arrive at Jamin's house.As soon as we entered, we saw the housekeeper and the servant standing in the living room. Jamin was sitting alone on the wide sofa, reading a newspaper.Perhaps it was because the room was too big that he looked lonely when he sat there."Mr. Jamin." I called out to him as I walked inside.Jamin looked up at me and said with a smile, "Well, you'd better call me grandpa. It sounds weird to hear you call me Mr. Jamin.""Grandpa Mitaka." I corrected myself.Grandpa should be the most appropriate address given our ages.Because we arrived late, the meal was already ready. Jamin invited us to the table.After what happened last time, Jamin wouldn't allow me drink anymore and they didn't drink either.The dinner tonight was more like a casual meal.The only thing was that the atmosphere was rather oppressive.When I was eating, I clea

I nodded. "Okay. It's up to you."Hearing this, Oogway knelt on one knee and took my hand. His clear eyes were full of joy. "Thank you for handing the rest of your life to me. I will surely give you all my best.""No need." I shook my head. "I'll be contented as long as you stay with us."When I said "us", I meant, me and Bryan."Hmm, thank you for giving me this opportunity."Looking at him like this, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "Stand up quickly. It's like you're proposing to me.""That makes sense." Hearing this, Oogway immediately stood up. He gently placed his hand on the top of my head. "I can never propose to you casually.""That's not what I meant..."That's not what I meant.Oogway held my hand tightly, and his lips curled into a smile.The joy of me agreeing to his proposal couldn't be hidden even if he wanted to.Watching this, Jamin couldn't help but nod. "Fine, fine, fine.. That's settled then. I'll inform them right away."We left.In the car, Oogway

This incident had dealt a huge blow to Mitaka Group."You haven't had a good rest for a long time?" I felt a pang of pain in my heart. I was so worried that I had no way to hide it so I blurted out, "Why don't you sleep here?"The "sleep" I said only had a literal meaning but when the man heard it, he directly carried me in his arms and said while walking to the bedroom, "Okay, I'll sleep.. here.. with you."His pauses made me realize what he meant."No, I mean, you..." I thought again. Why should he sleep in my room?I immediately corrected myself. "Forget it, you can leave. I'll walk you out.""No, since you said you want me to sleep with you, I have to take it seriously." Dave held me tightly and brought me to the bedroom step by step.Laying me on the bed, he knelt on it too."Dave, I think you are too tired. I want you to have a good rest, not to sleep with me!"I got up and tried to get out of bed.Faced with Dave, I was really afraid that my senses would go away. After all, jus

It gradually became bright outside.The first ray of the morning sun shone into the office, covering the black carpet in the entire office with a layer of gold."Is it beautiful?"When I was focused on watching the sunrise, I didn't know how long Dave had been standing beside me. He gently put one hand on my shoulder.It was warm.My face blushed slightly and I nodded.Although the Mitaka Group was built in the center of the city, the lighting was very good because there was a small square in front of it."It's even better to see the sunrise on the floor next to the top one," he said, reaching out to hold my hand.I wanted to withdraw my hand, but his grip was so tight that he didn't give me the chance to do so."I can walk by myself."I started to get nervous."What if someone outside sees us?"Dave understood what I was thinking."Don't be afraid. No one will see us."As he spoke, he dragged me to the elevator and we arrived at the floor next to the top one.Originally, I didn't thi

"Hey, did you sleep well last night?" A gentle voice of the man came from the other end of the line, with a hint of laziness.My heart was pounding. "Well, you, you just got up?""No, I had something to do in the hospital last night so I went out. Now I'm downstairs. I want to ask if you have had breakfast." Oogway said.A coincidence?Oogway was not home last night.I suddenly felt relieved and said with ease, "I haven't eaten yet, but I'm not hungry.""It's not good for your stomach if you don't have breakfast. Let me go upstairs and make breakfast for you. Remember to come over later."After Oogway finished speaking, he hung up.I quickly combed my hair and washed my face again.Seeing the toothbrush used by Dave on the vanity unit, I hesitated for a moment and then threw it into the trash can then I went to Oogway's apartment.As soon as I entered, the smell of porridge made me a little hungry."It smells so good." I couldn't help saying.Oogway was cooking in the kitchen. I walke

In their eyes, I was not their child, but Lita was.Helen looked at me and said in a kind voice, "Yes, Lita is my favorite but over the past few years, we have been trying hard to accept you and treat you kindly. Affection can't be cultivated overnight...""So you tried to kill me for not getting the apartment?" I looked at Helen, without any pity in my eyes, and continued, "To tell you the truth, looking at Lita, that good for nothing, I do regret living in the Defiant Family!"Helen had been saying nice things to me but just as I spoke ill of Lita, her face changed immediately and she couldn't hide her anger. "What are you talking about? How could Lita be a good for nothing? She...""What?" I interrupted her. "How many times did I do homework for her? I even took the design exam for her. She then found someone on the Internet to take up her graduate project. It took her a lot of effort to get the Mitaka Family to set up a studio for her. In the end, she plagiarized a deceased design

I got in the car with Oogway.Sitting in the car and looking at the fine weather outside, I remembered what Helen had said. I was taken away by someone from my mother's family, so my mother didn't abandon me.So, does she miss me too?Does she also want to see me?Thinking of this, I looked at Oogway. "Can we find out where I was born and everything about my mother?"After all, I was about to leave the City."Okay. Let's do this." Oogway didn't mean to refuse my request in the slightest. He patted my hand and said gently, "Don't worry. I will definitely help you.""Than..."When I was about to express my gratitude, Oogway pressed his right index finger against my lips.He shook his head. "We'll soon become husband and wife. You don't have to say that to me."Husband and wife.Hearing these words, I felt uneasy and nodded slightly.Oogway made a phone call and soon found out the information about the hospital where I was born. It was in a very remote civil hospital in the suburbs of

Kim's face was full of surprise. "Oh, I can't believe you didn't tell me about such a big thing! Do you still take me as a friend?""It's alright. Oogway has been taking care of me. I am fine."In the past weeks, Oogway had been taking care of me. It could be said that he did it in every possible way.Besides, the Hospital belonged to him. After he instructed the nurses, even if he was not there, the nurses would come three times an hour for fear that something would happen to me.Hearing what I said, Kim curled her lips and said, "Is Oogway so nice? Why do I always feel that he's just a smiling tiger? The smile is just his mask.""How could that be?"When I said this, I felt a little unsure.In fact, I also felt that I had never really understood Oogway, and he had never really bared his soul to me.What I saw was just the side that he wanted me to see but he really treated me well.Kim continued to eat and said nothing.After the meal, she offered to wash the dishes.

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
