"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. When I was pac
The next day, I returned back to Town.Bryan and Kelvin came to pick me up at the airport.When Bryan saw me, he ran up to me and put his arms around my neck, saying, "Mom, i thought you don't want me anymore.""No, something happened to Mom." I said, and I couldn't help kissing my son's chubby little face.When I returned to the studio, Bryan was joined at the hip to me and followed me wherever I go.He seemed to worry that I would leave again.Usually, he would sleep at nine o'clock, but he just wouldn't go to bed that night.I read three storybooks to him, but he hadn't slept. His eyes closed several times but when I put down the book, he immediately opened his eyes and said, "Mom, I'm not asleep!""Do you still want to go to kindergarten tomorrow?" I tapped his little head. "Why are you so energetic today?"Holding my arm, Bryan looked at me with blinking eyes and did not speak for a long time."What's wrong?" I asked.He pouted with his face looking grieved."I am afraid that if
In the next few days, I discussed a lot of things with Kelvin.At last, I decided to bring Bryan to the City.Kelvin would introduce resources to me and help me find suitable employees to form a new team.He would assist me in setting up a new studio in the City.A week after making this decision, I and Bryan set off for the City.When we arrived, Oogway had prepared everything for us, including the kindergarten chosen for Bryan.The next day, I took Bryan to the kindergarten to get him enrolled.When I received his enrollment registration, I couldn't help being stunned.A lot of information needed to be filled in, and it was very detailed. Moreover, not only did I have to fill in Bryan's information, I also had to fill in his parents' information."Do I have to complete these?" I raised my head and asked the teacher at the kindergarten.The teacher nodded and said, "Yes, everything must be filled in."I hesitated for a moment. Although I was very reluctant, I told the teacher, "He is
"Such an expensive house..."I looked at Oogway in disbelief.He reached out his hands and held my hand. His thin lips drew a handsome curve as he said, "I have bought the house and paid the money. It's impossible for you to take back your word.""… I don't intend to take back my word." I hesitated for a moment and said, "Such an expensive house, why don't I pay some for it, or I'll pay for the furniture and the car?"I didn't know why I felt guilty about Oogway spending money to buy the house.Hearing this, he shook his head helplessly and reached out his hand to touch the tip of my nose. "No, it's natural for men to make money to support their families."At this time, the sales lady had already taken back the card, made a gesture of 'please' and said, "Please come with us to sign the contract."Oogway nodded, took my hand and then placed the card that he had just used to buy the apartment in the palm of my hand."This is..."I didn't understand.He looked at me and said very seriou
We left the complex and went to the furniture market. We chose most of the furniture except that for Bryan's room. I hoped he would choose them himself.By the time everything was done, it was nearly time for Bryan's school to be over.Oogway and I went to pick him up together.We parked in a parking lot near the gate of the kindergarten and looked around.The cars around were all luxury ones.Oogway drove a Lincoln SUV. Although it cost just over one million, it was not the slightest conspicuous among those cars. Instead, it was very low key.Most of the people who picked up the children were nannies and mothers.Some of the rich ladies had gathered around to chat, but when one of them saw Oogway, she quickly came over. "Isn't this Oogway? You're here to...""I'm here to pick up my kid with my wife." Oogway replied.As soon as he finished answering, not only the lady in front of him but also those behind her looked full of envy.She said, "Oh, you're married? Why haven't I heard of
I knew that Jason surely knew where he should have put the Lego piece. It was just that he used this method to make Bryan think on his own.The two of them were having a good time at this time. When I entered the room, neither Jason nor Bryan noticed me.Within a day, the two of them got along with each other so well. Only then did I feel that Jason was quite reliable.I changed my shoes and walked inside.Jason quickly stood up and said, "Sister Alina, let me prepare dinner for you.""No, let me do it." I looked at my watch and found that it was past six p.m. Then I said, "Go back to school now.""Okay." Jason nodded his head.Cleaning up the Lego pieces on the ground, Jason promised Bryan that he would piece the Lego with him tomorrow and left.After I finished cooking and asked Bryan to have dinner, Bryan stared at me and said, "Mom, can you pay brother Jason more so that he can accompany me longer?"I was stunned. And I immediately wondered whether Jason had asked Bryan to say s
A week later, Jason came to my house for the first time on a Monday.I got up at 7 a.m, changed my clothes, and went downstairs, planning to cook. Ding!Ding! My cell phone rang.It was a text from Jason, which read, "Sister Alina, I'm at the door of your house. If you are up, please open the door for me."I opened the door quickly.I saw Jason standing at the door in a light blue T shirt. Rolling up the sleeves to his shoulders, he revealed his skinny and yet muscular arms. With a pair of sports shorts on his lower body, a pair of sneakers, and white socks on.The morning sunlight shone on his face and shone into his eyes, making him outgoing and bright."Why did you come so early?" I was a little surprised.Jason said seriously, "Sister Scarlett told me that you are quite busy, asking me to come here to make breakfast early. After I arrived here, fearing that you hadn't woken up, I waited at the door for a while. After hearing that there was movement inside, I sent the text."For
Not long after that day, a female superstar was revealed to have slept with different men, overshadowing all news related to me.In the end, my life went to as peaceful as it used to be.The studio gradually returned to normal. And the renovation of the former studio had almost been done. So we moved back.I transformed one of Judith's guest rooms into Bryan's room and got him back to my side.If Bryan went to the same kindergarten as he did before, it would be troublesome. So I intended to transfer him to another kindergarten.It just so happened that Marie found a kindergarten offering a semi boarding service for Aurelia. She could live there from Monday to Thursday. And Marie would pick her up and take her home on weekends.According to Marie, she had studied this kindergarten for a long time and found it quite reliable. So I sent Bryan there as well.Since Bryan wasn't home at ordinary times, I had a lot of free time.Apart from learning to drive, I focused on my work.Once I beca
I followed him into the elevator specifically for the president. Dee stood in front of me. Through the mirror in the elevator door, I could see that he looked dignified.Walking out of the elevator, I saw that the whole top floor was the same as before.Dee took me to the door of Dave's office. Knocking twice on the door, he said, "Mr. Mitaka, she's here."Then he pushed the door open slightly and motioned me to go in.It seems that Dave had known I will come.I looked at the door and felt extremely nervous. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open and walked in.In the office, Dave sat in front of a large L shaped desk with a document in one hand and a folder in the other, correcting the document.I walked in. He paused what he was doing for a moment. Without raising his head, he asked, "What do you want to say?"If Dave's attitude to me was as normal as usual, I might indeed think that I had seen something wrong. However, judging from the current scene, I knew that I hadn't se
Lying there, I rested for quite a while before sitting up.Looking at the dim living room around me, I saw a faint light shining through the window of the living room. Searching the living room carefully, I was sure Dave hadn't come back.Yeah, he didn't come back. Otherwise, seeing that I fell down, he surely would come to me.I thought of the kiss at noon.I, who had been pretending to be strong, could no longer disguise myself.I stood where I was and kept telling myself, "Aren't you going to be independent of him? Aren't you going to stop thinking about him?"After all, everything would only get worse and worse if we were together. It would be better if we weren't together.In that case, the ones I loved wouldn't get hurt.How nice it would be!I kept telling myself this.Yeah. Since I decided to break up with him, I would have to make things clear to him face to face, right?I was deceiving myself in my mind.Rubbing my waist, I took out my cell mobile phone from my pocket. Look
Marie sighed, "Alina Jetson, oh, Alina Jetson. Sometimes I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid. Dave is so good to you. Why did you hide this from him?""I..." I turned around, "I don't want to make trouble for him. I think I can solve this independently. If I tell him, he will definitely help me. I am independent. And I can't always be protected by him, can I?""Are you making blind and disorderly conjectures?" Marie looked at me with a frown."Am I thinking randomly?"I didn't know what to say at the moment.Marie took my hand and said, "He may be having a meeting. Don't think too much. As Scarlett said, he's a president. How can he hang around you all day? Maybe he hasn't seen the press conference up till now."I knew that what Marie had said wouldn't happen.When I left, I remembered Dave's expression very clearly.He surely knew that I was going to do something that I kept from him.Scarlett shouted from the side, "Let's go have the meal quickly. I'm so hungry."Wit
At this time, Harry looked at Matt on the side, "Vice Dean Parma, it's your turn."Matt stood there with a look of embarrassment on his face.Matt was dressed in a gray blue jacket, a pair of sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers, looking casual.It was as if someone had forcibly dragged him over here while he was doing his morning running.Hearing how Harry called Matt, all the reporters under the stage suddenly understood who Matt was. All of a sudden, they all aimed the cameras at him!Matt lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists. The conference room was not hot at all. But I could clearly see a layer of sweat on Matt's forehead."Vice Dean Parma?" Harry raised his voice, called out once again, and handed Matt the microphone he had used just now.This time, Matt finally moved. He raised his hand to take the microphone over and looked at the audience with a dull look. Then he opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind, "I'm Matt Parma. I testify that what Alina said just n
When I no longer looked at the computer screen, I saw the reporters all looking at me with different looks in their eyes. It seemed that each of their looks was meaningful.Some seemed to be waiting to make fun of me. And others seemed to be waiting to mock me.This made me even more certain that I wouldn't have an easy time later.To prevent them from sensing my cowardice, I straightened up my back, trying to look calm as much as I could.Finally, it was 10 a.m.At this time, Matt hadn't yet appeared still.At this moment, Loraine walked to the platform in front of her. Sitting down, she said, "Thank you all for coming."After that, she introduced me to everyone and the purpose of the press conference today.I greeted everyone, "Hello, I am Alina Jetson as well as Reed Defiant."I didn't want to hide my identity anymore.At this time, the reporters under the stage all showed that they were all watching a good show.Judging from their expressions, they all seemed to be waiting for th
At this time, the phone had been hung up, and my heart was pounding. I was afraid that he would know that I was going to hold a press conference privately tomorrow.I was afraid that he would blame me for hiding the contact with Matt from him.My feelings were extremely complicated. However, the man was at the door.I went downstairs and opened the door.Dave stood at the door, only wearing a thin suit coat. Under his slightly messy hair, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles under his eyes.He had food in his hand.He must have had a wearing journey. At first glance, it could be seen that he had hurried to come over as soon as he got off the plane.Looking at his appearance, my heart was filled with guilt, and I felt that I shouldn't have hidden it from him.At least, I should tell him.But now things had been proceeding, I didn't even have the courage to say it.Dave entered the room and put the food on the table. He reached out his hands and took me in his arms. Pu
