Walking to the front of her, I bent my knees slightly and kept my face at the same level as hers, saying, "Hello, my name is Alina Jetson. I'll leave my wedding dress to you."After that, I extended my hand.The designer was a little surprised by my behavior.She revealed a good looking smile, held my hand, and said, "My name is Eunice Stanton. You can rest assured that I will design the best looking wedding dress for you.""Thank you."I straightened my back.Eunice monitored the wheelchair, made it move inside, and said, "Miss Jetson, come in with me. I'll ask my assistant to take your measurement. By the way, tell me whether you have any expectations about your wedding dress. I'll design it specifically according to your wishes." After saying that, she stopped the wheelchair and turned around to look at me, saying, "This is the first time I've provided such special service to the guests.""Thank you."I followed Eunice and Oogway followed behind with a nervous look on his face.Wh
After we got in the elevator, I held the elevator for Eunice to come in.After Eunice controlled the wheelchair and came in, she slightly gestured to me, saying, "Thank you."We arrived on the first floor. Oogway wanted to take me away, only to hear Eunice say behind him deliberately, "Rebecca, fetch one of my business cards and give it to Miss Jetson.""Alright ma'am."Manager Warren fetched a business card from the front desk quickly, came over, and handed it to me.Oogway directly stopped her, took the business card over and put it in his pocket, saying indifferently, "If she needs anything, I'll bring her here next time."Seeing Oogway do so, Eunice wasn't surprised at all.She narrowed her almond shaped eyes and stared at Oogway with a somewhat melancholy smile at the corner of her mouth.Throughout the whole process, I didn't say anything. However, staring at Oogway, I had only one question in mind, and that was, what on earth was Oogway afraid of?What on earth was the secret
I waited for her at the door of the cafe early.Eunice arrived in a modified Toyota Alpha.The car drove to the door of the coffee shop. When the car door opened, a low pitched platform automatically landed.Seeing her control the wheelchair and get out of the car, I went to support her hurriedly.It wasn't until she landed steadily on the ground that she said to me, "Thank you."I helped Eunice into the cafe. She had already booked a private room here. Upon seeing her, a waiter took us there directly.When the dishes we had ordered were all served, Eunice picked up a cup of coffee in front of her and took a sip of it. Then she raised her head and looked at me, saying flatly, "Oogway is not a good person. You should know it very well. I advise you to leave him earlier so you don't end up the same as me."Eunice's words startled me.I didn't expect that she would say so readily.Sensing that I was shocked, Eunice put the coffee cup on the table in front of me, looked at the lipstick ma
At this time, I felt that the gentle smile on his face was a mask that indicated that he was hypnotic.As for what was behind the mask...I had no idea about it.And it was because of this that I was struck with fright.Eunice nodded faintly, "Yes, we've known each other for more than 20 years anyway. Although we weren't together in the end, I hope you'll be happy. I think Miss Jetson is a good person so I don't intend to break you up.""Well, it's me who contacted Designer Eunice because I have some ideas about my wedding dress." I managed to put on a smile.Hearing this, Oogway changed his mind.He pulled the chair next to me and sat down, saying, "Oh, sorry, I was nervous. I'll wait for you."Seeing him sitting there, unexpectedly, I couldn't say any word.It was surprisingly quiet in the small private room.Neither Eunice nor I said anything.Finally, amid the depressing atmosphere, I gave in. Curling up the corner of my mouth by force, I said to Oogway, "We have almost finished
Kelvin sighed over the phone and said, "I know what you want to say. I just want to say that if someone starts from scratch and makes a great fortune, besides having a keen sense and a strong mind, he surely has other tricks.""You mean that...""You don't have to bother too much with the things going on in the business field. He might have been forced to do something because of the situation back then. As long as he treats you well, it's fine." Kelvin understood my concerns and added, "Okay, I'll help you take care of Bryan starting tomorrow. But if you don't get a prize in this competition, don't call me master in the future!""Yes! I'll definitely get an award!"I have been by Kelvin's side over the past few years. I might not be confident about anything else but when it came to winning this kind of competition, I was somewhat confident about it.That night, I scanned an e version of Jessica's portrait using the scanner at home. After reprinting it in a reduced format, I sent it t
I took a lot of photos for Bryan.The commentator on the side enthusiastically told Bryan about which age these Dinosaurs had lived, what kind of characteristics they had, and so on.Initially, I wasn't interested in these things however, the commentator talked livelily.As I listened to him, I couldn't help but be fascinated by it.Staying by Bryan's side, I took pictures of him and accompanied him to listen to the commentator.It was already a bit late when we left home. By the time we were done with visiting the vast Dinosaur Museum, it had been dusk.I took a look around and found that Oogway was on the phone not far away.With Bryan pestering the commentator with questions, I went to call Oogway, saying that we were going to leave.When I got close to him, I noticed that he looked gloomy and cold. Looking at him, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.As he heard the one on the phone talking, he didn't say anything, looking at the distance whole heartedly. It seemed that he d
After calculating the days, I realized that I hadn't seen Dave for a long time.During this period, I originally thought I had gotten him out of my mind However, hearing that he was missing now, my heart was in a mess.I couldn't be at ease in the slightest.In spite of knowing that Oogway would be disappointed, I said, "I'm sorry. Feeling a little tired today, I want to go to bed already."I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Dave and it would be unfair to Oogway if I face him with Dave on my mind.I had to be alone for a while.Oogway, who always knew me so well, looked at me with an indifferent look in his eyes, raised his right index finger, and touched my cheek with it, smiling bitterly, "Are you worried about him?""I... ""I know you are worried about him. You want to go out, thinking you may be able to find him, right?"Oogway exposed all my thoughts.For a moment, I was like a thief being caught on the scene. Hanging my head, I couldn't say a word.I dared not look into
When Marie and I participated in the design competition in the resort back then, she knew the relationship between Dave and I.I hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Then is there any update about him? For example, did Dave go abroad with his passport?"Marie shook her head and said, "No. It seems that it is because there is no news or channels that the Mitaka Family suspects that he has been kidnapped.""Kidnapping?" I was even more nervous.However, when it came to this matter, I indeed couldn't do anything about it."Based on my husband and his colleagues' speculation, because Mitaka Group encountered an accident before with their investments, the fire and the documents that disappeared, the stock price of Mitaka Group dropped. If the public knew Dave's situation, Mitaka Group would basically be doomed."Hearing Marie's words, I was extremely nervous.Dave was quite likely to have been schemed against and kidnapped.Ding!Ding!Ding!After hearing Marie's words, I look
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
