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.

    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

    Yesterday, I had given Dave my number.I hesitated for a moment before picking up, "What's the matter?"Over the phone, Dave was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I want to let you know that I have gone back to the company and that I may be busy in the next few days. So I probably can't contact you. I will contact you after the advertising auction is over."After the advertising auction..."Okay, I'll wait for your call."Although I said so verbally, I wasn't sure if Dave and I would meet again after the auction.After I hung up, Marie asked, "Why don't we name our studio Cadling?"Marie then picked up a pen and casually drew something on the paper, saying, "And based on this name, we can design a logo for it with ease.""I agree."I raised my hand and showed my support.In fact, at this time, I had other things on my mind. Regarding the name of the studio, I would let Marie call the shots.That afternoon, Marie and I went to the Design Company. We told the CEO about our studi

    At this moment, since the auction was about to begin, many people arrived one after another.The staff was busy checking the invitation cards. As Bleak stood there, people coming and going kept greeting him.Bleak dealt with them randomly and asked me, "Miss Jetson, do you need me to take you in? An invitation card can take two people in.""I.. ""But I have to remind you that both the uncle and the nephew will be present here today. I'm afraid the auction will turn into hell. Don't you think so?"Bleak interrupted me.Hearing his words, I, who originally planned to go in with him, was discouraged immediately.Both Dave and Oogway will be here today. In that case, it won't be suitable for me to show up here.I shook my head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Bleak. I won't go in."After that, I turned around and wanted to leave. Thinking of Haick, I stopped and turned to ask him, "Mr. Bleak, do you know Haick? About his death, I want to ask whether you know something about i

    Number 723 was sitting too far away from us.Although there were many rows between us, I turned my head and happened to see…I saw a man sitting in the distance. He was wearing a grey blue suit and glasses...I immediately turned my head and told Dave, "Oogway, it's Oogway."Unknowingly, I had regarded Oogway as an enemy. Especially after Bleak told me it was him who had attacked the Mitaka Group.As for the marriage between him and I, he got it by force with the Mitaka Group being his play ground.I didn't have any good impression of him anymore."I know." Dave looked calm.He raised his number plate as he spoke.Dee inputed a number."No. 9, 5.5 billion dollars!"As soon as the host announced the bidding price of Dave, he immediately said, "No. 723, 6 billion dollars!"Upon hearing this price, Dee looked at Dave, "Mr. Mitaka, this price has...""Pass."Dave said one word and Dee understood.Seeing that Dave didn't want to bid further, the host began to countdown."Number 723, 6 bill

    "I'm sorry. Let's talk about this matter after today."I couldn't discuss those things with Oogway in front of outsiders.At this time, Dave said, "Let's go to the lounge."Dave surely understood that we couldn't leave even if we wanted to.We had to solve the problem. In that case, for the sake of the Mitaka Family, we would have to talk in a private place.Oogway said lightly, "Well, I forgot that the lounge had been exclusive to Dave for several years."His words made Dave especially miserable right now.We arrived at the lounge.After we opened the door, we found that there were guards in black standing inside.Dave immediately stopped.When he was about to turn around and leave, bodyguards suddenly appeared on both sides of the corridor.They surrounded us.Oogway looked outside with a cold look on his face, saying briefly, "Please."There was no way for us to retreat. We could only go in.After we entered the lounge together, the door to the lounge was closed. Oogway said once

    Hearing Oogway's words, Dave could no longer sit still.Oogway seemed to have known that Dave was a responsible boss.He looked up at Dave, "What's wrong?""Tell me, what's the condition? I can accept any condition except for the one asking for her." Dave spoke directly.However, Oogway said, "I only want her and you can take everything.""Impossible." Dave refused."Then I'm sorry." After Oogway finished his words, he stood up and let go of the hard drive in his hands...The black hard drive automatically dropped down."No!"I shouted in my mind and rushed straight over to catch the hard drive in my hands.With my body falling directly, I pressed my back against the fish tank and I fell to the side.I felt my spine in pain.I lay on the tea table in pain and dared not move. However, at this time, all the bodyguards rushed over and wanted to snatch the portable hard drive away from me.I clung onto it tightly. I wanted to give it to Dave.As soon as I reached out, the bodyguards block

    "Alina."Oogway called out to me from behind.Hearing him, I shivered.I wanted to stand by Dave's side strongly but I knew I couldn't. I knew that if I dared to follow Dave, Oogway would dare to kill Dave.I've thought about it. Instead of expecting to be with Dave, I only hoped that he could live well in this world.Finally, I bent down, picked up the hard drive, and stuffed it into Dave's hands. Looking at him, I tried to look as cold as possible and said, "Mr. Mitaka, take it. I am your uncle's fiancee now. Next time you see me, remember to call me aunt."After saying that, I was about to leave but Dave grabbed my hand tightly.I looked at him, "Let go, Mr. Mitaka. Your company will be closed down soon. The way I see it, if any woman was asked to choose between you two, the answer would be self evident."I looked pretty indifferent however, my heart was bleeding. Every word I said was like a knife. Instead of stabbing Dave, they stabbed right into my heart.They stabbed me one af

    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
