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
Looking at the blue sky and clouds outside the window, I said, "I eavesdropped on his conversation over the phone just now. It seems that everything happening to Mitaka Group is related to him, including the Al incident and Dave's disappearance...""What?" Marie was stunned, "How is that possible? Isn't he just the dean of Light Hospital?""No, he's also the dean of the biggest Hospital in the City. I don't know how much property he has in his name. Dave told me a long time ago that I should stay away from Oogway, saying he's not a simple person. But I didn't take his words seriously..." I paused and added, "Regarding the incident this time, Oogway is afraid that the engagement ceremony can't be held normally. So he snatched the AI documents and used it to threaten Dave."No way would I accept that the reason why everything happened was because of me."Well... How can it be? If that's the case, Oogway..." Marie paused for a moment before saying, "He is so unfathomable.""Unfathomable?
Oogway's words deeply hurt my heart. However, I was very glad that Dave's wife was Teresa Michaelson.Fortunately, Teresa would help him. If it were me, I couldn't help him with anything.It wasn't until I got out of Oogway's car and watched him drive away that I no longer pretended to be at ease.I, who wasn't stupid, knew that even though Oogway had talked for a long time, he didn't point out the real issue.The real issue was that Dave was missing.Everything that Oogway had said had nothing to do with Dave's disappearance.What mattered now was that Dave was missing.The answer to where Dave had gone was the key to the whole issue.In front of me, a taxi pulled up on the roadside with a student getting out of it. Seeing that the taxi driver would drive away, I got into the taxi without deliberation.The driver asked, "Where are you going?"I was stunned.Yes, where am I going?I have been thinking about finding Dave just now. But where would Dave be? If the entire Mitaka Family f
Dave's words stunned me.I didn't expect him to ask me that.After hesitating for a moment, I said, "I... I'm also worried about you."Hearing what I said, Dave slightly curled up the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, saying, "But, now, I am not worthy of your concern at all.""What on earth happened?"Only after I pulled him with my full strength did I succeed in pulling him up.Sitting on the ground, he looked at me. He used to have an indifferent and firm look in his eyes but now, his eyes looked blurred and he looked like a wandering man who had lost his soul.Seeing him like this, I suddenly felt extremely distressed for him.Dave looked up at me, got up, and took my hand, saying, "Come here."As he spoke, he pulled me to sit on the couch."What the hell is going on?"I followed him to the sofa and continued to ask.Looking at me with a slightly indifferent look in his eyes, he smiled bitterly and bowed his head, "Nothing.""You're lying!" I looked at him nervously.Without
I looked at Dave nervously and asked with some guilt, "Does this mean that Oogway… Oogway Mitaka threatened Grandpa Jamin?"Originally, I was used to calling Oogway by his first name. In the middle of my words, I changed how I addressed him.Dave nodded slightly, "Sort of. After all, Uncle Oogway is just his illegitimate son who has been living outside for more than two decades. My grandfather only feels a little guilty about him. It's not like he has strong feelings for him.""Then I'd better go back. As long as I am engaged to him, he'll stop messing with the Mitaka Group, won't he?"As long as Oogway and I were engaged, he wouldn't harm the Mitaka Group. In that case, Dave would be in a better situation.Thinking about this, I stood up immediately. However, as soon as I stepped up, Dave pressed me back onto his lap. Looking at me with resentment in his eyes, he asked, "Are you really going to marry him?"Dave's words stunned me.Yes, I'll have to marry Oogway for real. If I was al
The door to Oogway's apartment was half open.I pushed the door open and went in directly.Oogway sat on the sofa with a medicine kit and drugs on the tea table."Well, you are...""I am organizing the medicine kit." As Oogway spoke, he took out a bottle of ointment from the medicine kit, patted the sofa next to him, and said, "Come on. Sit here.""Okay."I did as he said obediently.Based on what Dave had said, the way I thought it, there was a 90% probability that I would marry Oogway. In that case, instead of resisting, I'd better accept it so Oogway probably wouldn't hurt Bryan.Oogway removed my slippers and checked my ankles respectively, saying, "It seems you are fine.""Yes." I nodded, "You're too concerned about me."Raising his head, he looked at me, "I will always put your business as top priority. No matter how petty it is, I will prioritize it."His words made me nervous.I looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Oogway, do you... do you love me?"Oogway was st
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
