I crept over, wanting to grab the phone. As I approached, the phone's screen suddenly lit up.A message popped up.'Where are you? What happened? Please contact me.'The sender was Teresa.Seeing this, my heart missed a beat.Sure enough, Dave lied to me. He did not divorce Teresa. Otherwise, why did she send him a message like this?Thinking of this, I felt disappointed.If I couldn't trust Dave, then who else could I trust?Seeing this text message, I completely gave up the idea of continuing to check his mobile phone.Perhaps I was afraid that I would find something I shouldn't.I paused for a few minutes beside his mobile phone, but Teresa hadn't sent anymore messages. I went back to bed and lay down again.Just as I lay down, the man behind me suddenly stretched out his arm and held me in his arms.He muttered, "Baby, I love you."His voice was a little bit vague.He was talking in his sleep however, it warmed my heart.The next morning.As soon as I woke up and opened my eyes,
Dave was being really considerate when we had sex. Most of the time, he let me enjoy myself a few times before doing his work.Compared to a few years ago, he seemed to take more care of my feelings.I continue to read the book in my arms. I didn't raise my head until the doorbell rang.Dave stood up and went to open the door.Who was that?I stood up right away.When the door opened, I saw Desmond Gaddy standing outside.There were several lunch boxes and some vegetables in his hand.Dave let him in. As soon as Desmond came in, he began to complain, "I am really tired because of you, Dave. If others let me do this, I will definitely teach them a lesson!"After finishing his speech, he saw me.With a fake smile on his face, he said three words, "Hello, Mrs. Mitaka."Desmond's expression made me feel confused since he was acting weirdly.I saw that there were a lot of fresh vegetables, eggs, and meat in his hand.I took the initiative to say, "I'll make lunch for you.""Okay." Dave no
"Alina!" Dave's voice rang out.I looked up and wanted to look at him.Perhaps because the sunlight on snow was too glaring, my eyes couldn't help but shed tears when I looked up at him. I couldn't see anything clearly."Da.." I opened my mouth slightly without finishing his name.Dave rushed over and hugged me.Seeing the wound on my foot, he said sadly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."He repeated three times.I opened my eyes, wanting to see him, but no matter how hard I tried, my eyes were in pain and tears fell down. I couldn't see anything clearly.It's so strange.I closed my eyes and said to him, "I, there is something wrong with my eyes. They hurt.""What?" Dave was stunned."My, my eyes hurt. Something entered my eyes." I continued.I was not sure. Maybe it was the strong wind on the mountain that blew something into my eyes, which made me feel uncomfortable.Dave immediately said, "Close your eyes first, let's get inside." I closed my eyes. As soon as we entered the hou
"Now is the most dangerous time for Dave. This time, the stock price of Mitaka Group has fallen sharply. Oogway has already bought a lot of shares, and his shares are almost the same as my Dave's. But the remaining shareholders are Grandpa Mitaka's men, so they are not selling their shares, but they all asked Dave to give up his position of CEO. Dave said he needed three days."I didn't fully understand his speech however, I understood part of it."After three days, then what?" I looked at Dave."I have been negotiating with a technical team from Country Z. If they join my project, we will be able to mass produce our products this year at the fastest speed. However, they needed three days to give me an answer." Dave said.I roughly understood that this team should be the last bargaining chip for Dave to keep his position of CEO."So, why don't you go back?" I looked at Dave, feeling extremely sad."No." Dave shook his head. "The treatment for your foot can't be delayed and we have to
Dave was sending an email. It was in French.When he saw me, he reached out and pulled my hand. "I'll go to sleep after sending this email."I looked at the clock on the wall. It was already two o'clock, midnight. Because I wanted Dave to rest, I simply sat next to him and said, "Then I'll wait for you."When I finished, I felt that, as the boss of Mitaka Group, Dave must have a lot of things to do. I was being too wilful.I thought for a moment and stood up again."Forget it, you can just do your work. I'll sleep first. Don't be too late."Just as I was about to leave, Dave suddenly got up and held my waist. He directly let me sit on his lap then he kissed me on the neck. "I hide no secrets from you. You can look at my works as you like." He said, kissing me on the neck with his thin lips, "And, a beauty like you will improve my efficiency."As he spoke, his two arms circled around me and landed on the keyboard to edit the email.I took a rough look. He was writing the email to th
I pressed on the progress bar. As Oogway had said, there was a former half video that lasted more than one minute.I dragged the progress bar to the forefront. And I saw Bryan, who was still asleep. However, at this time, the camera moved to where Bryan's arm was then a thin syringe appeared. The syringe had been inserted into his blood vessel, with a drip injected in the syringe into Bryan's blood vessel.Bryan trembled viciously.The latter half of the video showed Oogway holding a knife which I had watched."What is that?" I looked at Oogway nervously."Come to my side. And never would you leave me. Then I promise you Bryan will be fine." Oogway looked at me with the look in his eyes as gentle as ever.However, at this moment, I found the gentle look in his eyes extremely terrifying.Only then did I realize that Oogway was the real devil!He was a backstabber who was good at disguising himself and harmed others cruelly without any warning.As I was somewhat hesitant, Oogway said,
"Really?" Dave sneered, stretched out his hand, and grabbed my arm, "Uncle Oogway, don't forget that at this time, as for whether you can go out or not, it is up to me."As Dave held my arm with his somewhat warm palm...I looked up at him, feeling ill at ease in my heart. However, Dave had his eyes on Oogway.Although neither of them spoke, the atmosphere couldn't be any more tenser.Everyone in the whole office was weirdly silent.After a while, Oogway curled up the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, he said, "Dave, you forgot something. Bryan is still with me."Upon hearing Oogway's words...I came to my senses completely.I raised my hand, shook off Dave's hand that was holding my arm, and said to him, "Mr. Mitaka, neither Oogway nor I will welcome you to our engagement ceremony so you don't have to show up there."By saying so, I made my position pretty clear."I have a way...""Mr. Mitaka, if you hand over these things to him, you will be a poor man. Why should I entr
With the door to Bryan's room unlocked, I pushed it open and saw Bryan lying on a little bed.He was sleeping soundly under a small blue quilt.I didn't trust Oogway. Walking over, I touched Bryan's forehead, put my fingers under his nostrils, and felt if there was any breath.After confirming that Bryan was still alive and that his temperature was normal, I was finally at ease in my heart.I left Bryan's room. After closing the door, I asked the maid, "What's your name?"Hearing my question, the maid seemed to be flattered and said with a smile, "Madam, my name is Emily Welch.""Oh, okay, Emily." I sized her up and down and asked, "How old are you?"She looked young.Emily immediately replied, "I'm 20 years this year.""20 years old? You are so young? Aren't you in college?" I was a little surprised.Hearing this, Emily was a little embarrassed, "Yes, my family is poor. And my parents bore a lot of children. I have two younger brothers. So, instead of going to college, I came out to
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
