After about two months, we got another order for an independent clothing studio. The client was generous and none of us dared to neglect this order.The task was assigned to Blue who then asked me to be her assistant.I readily agreed.After we visited the studio for the first time, I instantly understood why the client was so generous.This studio was located in the central city where one inch of land equaled gold. If this place was furnished as a restaurant, a store, or even a cafe, the owner surely would make a lot of money. However, the client wanted to make it a clothing studio.Admittedly, the rich could do whatever they wanted.During the signing of the contract, it was a man named Evangel Nates, who made every inquiry requiring the design however, after we arrived at the studio, Evangel suddenly said he was helping his boss get this order done and his boss would tell us the specific plan and ideas later.After a while, a red Aston Martin car stopped at the entrance of the stud
It was obvious that Lita didn't know this.The reason why I said so on purpose today was to provoke her into making a scene and exposing the fact that I went to jail.In this way, I could also get rid of this deformed marriage between Dave and I.That night after Lita left, I received a phone call from Dave."Why did you tell Lita what I had said to Grandpa?"As soon as I picked up the call, I heard Dave's angry roar.Now, his emotions couldn't affect me at all.I took the phone a little further as I said, "Mr. Mitaka, don't you think you're torturing yourself while torturing me?""You are thinking highly of yourself." Dave's disdainful sneer came over the phone.I went on to say, "Just because we are a legal couple, you treat me as something that belongs to you. You torture me as well as the ones around me with great effort. It's just because you can't accept the fact that your wife has been to prison. Please let me go and marry Lita Defiant. Mr. Mitaka, you and I are not in the same
We had a meal in a seafood restaurant. Although I was despised by Blue and Lita and also disgusted by Dave, I stayed close to Dave all night as if I were declaring sovereignty.When the dinner was about to end, I left with the excuse of urging the waiter to send us water.As soon as I came out, Lita followed me out.Lita quickly caught up with me, grabbed my wrist, and said with a grim smile, "Reed Defiant, you assume that you can be Mrs. Mitaka with ease?"I turned to look at her, "Hmm?"I had seen all kinds of evil people in prison and I just found her ridiculous looking like this."Don't assume that Dave likes you and intends to be with you in the future since he respects you. Let me tell you, you should stop day dreaming about it!"Lita deliberately lowered her voice.I looked at her and blinked as I said, "Lita Defiant, I hope you can understand that it's not me who wants to be Mrs. Mitaka. It's Dave who insists that I should be his wife. If you can let him divorce me, I will be
The police arrested the worker who had placed the high concentration into the building.I sat in the detention center and watched the worker pointing to me, saying it was I who had asked him to do this.He said with tears about how he came from the countryside and had three children, two of whom were twins freshly delivered by his wife. Besides, his wife got sick as soon as she gave birth to the babies and his parents were seriously ill. He had agreed to do it because he was possessed for a moment and needed the money.After hearing that, the policemen glanced at me.They looked at me as if they were looking at a heinous criminal.No. If I had done this, I would indeed be a heinous criminal.I saw the worker kneeling on the ground and begging the police to let him go, saying he was the breadwinner of his family. If he went to jail, his family would be doomed."I didn't!" Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore. I stood up and refuted,"I never asked you to do such a thing!"I didn't want t
As I raised my head and saw that Dave and Lita were not far away from where I was, I suddenly ran up and rushed to Dave as if I had gone crazy!Plop! Kneeling in front of him, I grabbed his trousers and pleaded, "Mr. Mitaka, I didn't hurt her. I didn't do anything. I beg you. Believe me this once. As long as you withdraw your complaint, I promise I won't be back to this City for the rest of my life. I'll leave and never look back. I promise I won't show up in front of the both of you again for the rest of my life!"I was not supposed to be that cowardly however the horrible memory of my previous days in prison as well as the fear made me fail to control myself.At this moment, my cowardice overwhelmed me!The police quickly caught up with me and wanted to pull me away.I still held Dave's legs tightly and begged him, "Mr. Mitaka, I promise. Please withdraw your complaint. Please! I beg you. I have lost a child in prison. I don't want to go to prison again. I beg you!"When I said thi
A man, who was dressed in a well fitting suit, stood there, looking so elegant and beautiful.It was Dave Mitaka.Originally, I thought he was standing outside but to my surprise, he reached out and pushed the door open!"Dave Mitaka!" I stared at the man in front of me as my eyes were filled with hatred. Then I clutched at his arms tightly, "Why did you bring me here?"The man looked at me and said nothing.It was probably due to the dark night that I couldn't see his expression clearly at all.I grabbed him and cried.I kept telling him that I didn't kill anyone. Nor did I harm Lita. I begged him to believe me and let me go.It was unknown how long had passed. The man suddenly reached out and hugged me.He touched my head and said, "I believe you. I will take you out of here right away.""Really?" I grabbed him and almost couldn't believe what I had heard.I was leaning in his arms. I did so probably because I felt so warm in his arms...I fell asleep unconsciously.By the time I wo
The air outside calmed me down.Dave lowered his head and looked at me under his feet. After a moment of hesitation, he suddenly bent down and picked me up!"Put me down!" Only then did I notice the car was parked at the door of his villa.He ignored my resistance and held me in his arms as he went inside.He carried me upstairs, all the way to the bedroom. After throwing me on the bed, he pressed himself down on me.He grabbed my neck tightly with one hand and looked down at me, "Mrs. Mitaka, where do you want to escape to?""I... Ahem."He was pinching my neck so hard. I wanted to say something but I coughed violently."Huh?" Dave raised his sword like brows slightly.Although he was expressionless, his cold eyes were dark as if a storm was brewing inside.With a lift of his hand, he tore my T shirt open!"No!"I knew what he was going to do and I didn't want to!I couldn't resist him!Knowing that fighting him was in vain, in the end, I had to lay still.I had to let Dave do whatev
The next morning, I was awoken by the sound of a ringtone. It wasn't my cell phone but Dave's that was ringing.I didn't move then I heard Dave getting up to answer the phone.As soon as he picked up the call, Lita's voice came from the other end of the phone.Because the room was very quiet. I clearly heard her anxious voice, "Why did you let her out without telling me? What if she hurts me and our baby in the future again?""She won't."After saying that, Dave hung up the phone.I wondered what he meant by that.Half an hour later, I pretended to get up, only to realize that my clothes had been changed into pajamas.When I went downstairs, I saw that the servants had already prepared breakfast.When the servants saw me coming down, they greeted me respectfully, "Madam."Dave raised his hand, "You must be hungry. Come and have breakfast."I looked at him and was in a trance for a moment.Dave didn't have a cold look on his face anymore. Why did I feel he was being somewhat kind to m
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
I leaned on Oogway and played with my cell phone for a while before falling asleep.Located in the city center, Jamin's house was surrounded by residential communities. As soon as it was midnight, the sounds of firecrackers rang from all directions!I opened my eyes. Beside me, Oogway sat there with the same posture as he had before I went to bed.He looked at me. "You up?""Yes." I nodded and glanced at the watch on my cell phone, only to find that it had been midnight.Glamourous fireworks was on outside the window.Looking at Bryan sleeping soundly, I somewhat couldn't bear to wake him up.Oogway seemed to sense my hesitation and said with a smile, "Wake him up. It happens once a year. Otherwise, he will blame you."I nodded and patted Bryan's shoulder lightly. Putting my face close to his ear, I whispered, "Baby, get up, they've started setting off the firecrackers."Hearing my words, Bryan seemed to have been awakened by an alarm.He immediately opened his eyes and sat up from t
Oogway wasn't in a hurry. He slowly opened his mouth, "In fact, speaking of the dealership of this drug, across the whole country, there is at least...""Well, she was slow witted. My parents took her girl away and abandoned her, stimulating her in an instant. Then she was more out of her mind and scratched my mother's face, making it covered with bruises! So my parents sent her to a mental hospital!"James couldn't hold it in any longer and blurted it out in an instant.It turns out that my mother had experienced these. Then who on earth is my irresponsible father? According to what Kelvin said, my mother was beautiful and smart. When she left European Architecture, she was a normal person. How come she went crazy after returning to the City?I asked, "Which mental hospital did they sent her to?"James waved his hand, "I sincerely don't know this. That's all I know. I've said everything that I can say. As for the others, I have no idea about them.""Okay." Oogway nodded, "I'll ask m
