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
I found Lita wasn't logical at all. There was no way to communicate with her at all.But Lita did not give up, "Am I the bad nut here? Do tell me then. Who paid the money for you? I want to see who will be so selfless and rich as to help others they don't know!""Although you are young, you have your mind in the gutter." As soon as Lita finished her words, a man's voice came from the garden.I turned around and saw a man walking out from behind the flower wall of the garden. He looked to be in his thirties and he was dressed in a light colored casual suit with his hair combed back neatly. His dark eyes looked a little sharp with the pair of rimless glasses he had on."Who are you?" When Lita saw him, she was obviously a little flustered. After all, the conversation between her and me just now couldn't be heard by anyone from the Mitaka Family."Third Young Master, here you are."As soon as Lita finished her words, the old housekeeper of the Mitaka Family ran over from a distance 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
