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 stared at the closed door blankly. For a moment, I thought I was hallucinating.Did he say that he was going to accompany me?I came to my senses. He was just afraid I would run away so he just wants to keep an eye on me.I chased after Dave and said to him who was now downstairs, "No need, Mr. Mitaka. I won't go anywhere. Don't worry."I emphasized the words 'Don't worry.' Then, I went back to the bedroom.That day, Dave stayed at home for the whole day and so did I but the two of us didn't say a word.Originally, I thought the day would pass by just like that but in the evening after dinner was served, as soon as I sat down, Dave's cell phone rang.He picked up and called out, "Grandpa." Then he got up and headed for the living room to continue his call.I looked over and noticed there was a gloomy look on his face.After a while, before I could dig into my food, Dave came over and said, "Get changed. We are going to Grandpa's house."I responded, "Why do I have to tag along?""B
Bryan had been treated for a week.The fever had also subsided, and his vitals had also stabilized.These days, it's Janice who delivered food to me and Bryan.Today, Janice sent food again. There were vegetables, ribs, fish soup, and rice.Bryan's appetite recovered well, and he ate a big bowl of food in a short time.After the meal, I found that the weather outside was good, so I wanted to check with the doctor to see if I could take Bryan out for a walk.The doctor checked Bryan and agreed.Janice went to the backyard of the hospital with me.There was a small garden in the backyard, surrounded by many benches. Other patients were sitting on benches, basking in the sun."Miss Jetson."When I was walking with Bryan, someone called me from behind.I looked back and saw that it was Eunice."Miss Eunice?"I was a little surprised, so I quickly let Janice take care of Bryan and walked over to Eunice.Eunice wore a cloth hat. I could see at a glance that there seemed to be no hair under
Desmond's face turned pale. "No, that was before I met you, I really haven't messed with anyone since I met you, I swear...""Really? I've seen several of them. Next time, if you want to deceive me, make drafts first."Kim's face was full of mockery.I could see Desmond was sweating. Не showed a pleasing smile on his face, put his palms together and winked at me.I knew that he was asking me to help.I tugged at Kim's arm and said, "Alright, a prodigal who returns is more precious than gold. Forgive him for the mistakes he made before.""That's right! They are previous mistakes!" Hearing my words, Desmond immediately cast a grateful look at me.He also put on an expression of gratitude.Kim couldn't stand it. She looked at Desmond and said, "I forgive you because my Reed said to. If you dare to do it again, I'll break your leg!""Which one?""Both!""I don't dare, I won't!"They left joking.I watched them get into the elevator. I felt half of my worries had been put to rest.The othe
I looked at Oogway and didn't know how to answer for a while.He turned to look at the ward and said, "I'm no longer young. I can distinguish what I am obsessed with."Although he didn't look at me, I could tell from his expression that he was serious.Which made me sure that what he had clung to was really not like what I thought.I also followed his gaze and looked into the ward.In the ward, Bryan was looking at us.When he found that I was looking at him, he forced a smile and waved at me.I waved back.When I thought of Bryan being fine soon, my heart, which had been hanging, gradually relieved.Oogway must have seen our interaction, so he let out a chuckle.When I turned my head to look at him, he happened to look at me as well.He leaned forward slightly and asked seriously, "Do you know why Dave agreed to marry the Defiant Family?"I was a little confused by him for mentioning this.Oogway saw through my doubts and continued, "Because I found Lita and told her about what happe
Oogway looked at me, and his eyes were cold.For the sake of Bryan, I couldn't care so much. I took the man's arm and said in a friendly tone, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I won't go to the bar again. Please forgive me."Oogway looked at me saying nothing.I didn't know what he meant.I stared at him quietly and didn't know what to do next.What else does he want me to do?My mind wandered, but I was already fully prepared for anything that could happen.After a while, Oogway put the ring in his pocket, stood up and said, "Let's go.""OK!"I thought he had forgiven me, so I hurried to follow him.We sat in his car together.The smell of alcohol lingered in his car.I was a little embarrassed but I didn't say anything.Oogway started the car and drove out of the community.The car drove for a while before I noticed that it didn't seem to be heading toward the City Hall, so I got nervous again and looked at Oogway, "Where are we going?""To pick up Bryan."He kept his eyes on the road as
Oogway picked me up and carried me into the car. I looked at him as he started the engine. I grabbed his arm and said, "I don't want to go home.""You don't?" He raised his eyebrows slightly."If I go back like this, they will be worried. Please help me... Call Kelvin and tell him I'll not go home today."I was so drunk. They will be worried about me if I went back. After all, I would not drink for no reason.Oogway nodded. I sat in the passenger seat and listened to him call Kelvin.When he hung up, he handed me the phone and started the car, "Is it okay to go to our home?"Our home?Oh, I know where it is.I nodded.I was going to be his wife anyway. That place was going to be our home in the future.I wouldn't be able to escape the reality.After a while, I fell asleep dazedly. However, maybe it was because I was in Oogway' car, I didn't sleep too deep.Not knowing how long had passed, I felt the car had stopped and he carried me.It was pitch black in front of me. I opened my e
In the evening, even the most prosperous place in the City was quiet. Around the high office buildings, there were only a few lights that were still on.I drove to the gate of Mitaka Group.I got out of the car and went to the entrance.The entrance had been closed. I wanted to go in, but a security guard came over and said, "It's closed."I looked up at the large building, except for the security room lights being on, the whole building was all dark.It seemed that Towering High was very kind to the employees, and there was not even a person working overtime.I didn't know what I wanted to do here. I hesitated for a moment, turned around and left.Back in the car, I continued driving.Finally, I found a lively place.On both sides of the road, rows of luxury cars were parked. At the entrance, the young men and women dressed in various kinds of clothes were chatting at the door, and some people were vomiting in the tree pits.Liquor.I wanted to drink.Perhaps if I was drunk, I would
Oogway put his arm around my waist and said to Teresa, "Miss Teresa, you are also a famous lady in this City. Whether in terms of social status or background, you are better than my Alina. But men love her, not you. Don't you think it's shameful? What are you still arguing for?"He made Teresa's face turn pale in a few words.She stared at Oogway and said with a fake smile, "Well, well, what's wrong with you? Do you believe she loves you and is willing to marry you just because she says? Tell you what, Oogway, she and Dave love each other no matter where they are!""Since you know it, what are you clinging to?"Oogway asked her.Teresa looked at Oogway and sneered. "Then what are you clinging to? We are all clinging to the same thing. Why do you ask me?"Hearing what Teresa said, Oogway's face was still calm.He drew back his hand, propped both elbows on the table, looked at Teresa and said slowly, "How do you know that we are clinging to the same thing?"Teresa suddenly became speech
Eunice lowered her head and kept silent, as if she was thinking.I didn't say anything more. I took the cup of fruit tea in front of me and took a sip.It was sour and sweet.When I put down the teacup, Eunice said, "Though I want to help you, it's just that his heart is no longer with me. He probably doesn't care about whether I live or die.""It's not like that." I looked at Eunice and said firmly, "Oogway has you in his heart, but he doesn't realize it, or... he is deceiving himself. What he needs is a process to know his heart."Eunice slightly nodded. "But that doesn't mean that he will give in to me.""I know." I smiled bitterly. "I'm sorry. In fact, I have already told him about your illness. I hope he can see his heart clearly. I have no choice."Eunice looked at me without saying a word.There was only silence.I said again, "I'm sorry." Eunice finally looked up at me and smiled. "If he let you go because of me and come back to me, then I am willing to be used by you."Euni
After hearing the name clearly, Oogway's eyes immediately showed some indifference. He folded his legs, put his hands on his knees, looked at me, and said in a very alienated voice, "So what?"I was not beaten back by his state. I continued, "Eunice got uterus cancer."When I said those words, Oogway frowned slightly.Then, I added another two words, "Stage 2."Oogway's expression obviously relaxed a little but he said only one word, "Oh."Seeing that he was relaxed, I hurriedly continued, "But when I saw her today, her assistant told me that she was not willing to be treated, because once treated she might not be able to conceive. She has always held the hope of getting pregnant.""That's her business."Unwilling to let it go, I continued, "Then have you ever thought about the fact that for an excellent woman like Miss Eunice, there must be a lot of men who wanted to be with her, even with her legs were disabled. But has been single all these years?""That's her business."Oogway sa
