Looking at Emily from the side, Lacy rolled her eyes.

Only Janice did what she should do. It seemed that all these had nothing to do with her.

After we came downstairs, Oogway put down the newspaper in his hands and went to the dining table.

Everything was as usual.

After the meal, I planned to take Bryan to Marie's house first. However, Oogway asked me, "Can you have a rest today? I want to show you something."

"What's that?"

"Is that alright?" Oogway confirmed with me once again.

His tone sounded a little sincere and gentle with slight pressure in it so I didn't know how to refuse.

I thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay."

As for Bryan...

It was unknown how long we would be out this time. If we went out for a whole day, how could I dare let Emily take care of Bryan for the whole day?

I thought about it and said to Oogway,

"How about I send Bryan to Marie's house first..."

"Yes! I have a deal with Aurelia. I have to go to see her today. A boy has to keep his words rather than break

    Looking a little blurry, the photo showed Dave holding me in his arms on a wide road without no one around us amid heavy rain.I looked at the photo carefully.It was a picture of me when I had just arrived in the City.Have someone been keeping an eye on me as soon as I arrived in the City?If it isn't Dave, who else could it be?I stood there feeling confused.After I thought about it randomly for a while, a name emerged in my mind.Bleak.Bleak once said he wanted to mess up the Mitaka Family. In that case, he would get what he wanted by doing this!After I read the news, my heart started beating wildly!Oh my god! At this moment, what I feared most was that both Bryan and Jamin would be hurt!At Jamin's age, he surely couldn't withstand this sort of provocation.I took my cell phone out of my pocket and looked at the screen. For a moment, I didn't know who I was going to call.Should I call Dave? No way.What was the use of calling Oogway?Should I call Jamin? No way.After thin

    Briana clearly called out my name, indicating that she had at least known something.In this case, I wouldn't avoid her.There was no way for me to escape.I held my cell phone tightly and replied calmly, "Okay, name the place.""I'll send the location to you."Briana finished her words and hung up the phone.In less than a minute, I received her text indicating where we were going to meet.It was a lounge bar on the second floor of a hotel.I got up and looked at Marie, "Sorry, I may be quite occupied in the next few hours. As for the matters of the studio...""Leave them to me. I can handle these trivial matters." Marie interrupted me and picked up a resume before adding, "Recently, someone working in Mitaka Group previously applied for our vacancy. Do you know her?"After she finished speaking, I took a look at the resume.I couldn't help laughing after seeing the photo without reading the name."Scarlett Benson."After I said this name, I stared at the name on the resume. It was i

    On the way here, I had guessed that Briana would ask me this. After all, Dave was her only son. He and Teresa had been married for a few years. Even though they wanted to have a grandchild, there was no news of Teresa's pregnancy at all.Now Bryan suddenly appeared.Moreover, he is healthy, sensible, and talkative as well as favored by everyone.If Briana didn't know Bryan, it would be fine. But now that she suddenly knew that Bryan probably was her own grandson, she surely would have him on her mind.However, I had been wondering on how to answer her properly.I looked at Briana. Without saying anything, Briana was more nervous than me.i hesitated for a moment and said, "Aunt, regarding this matter, I can't reveal its truth to you. At least, I can't be the one that tells you."I assumed that after hearing my words, Briana surely would understand.After hearing what I said, Briana, who wasn't stupid, looked gloomy, "Is it true that he is my grandson?"I didn't say anything.Briana l

    I frowned and thought, "Sure enough, the reporters are so sensitive that they besieged Mitaka Group so quickly."In order not to cause any unnecessary trouble, I thought I'd better leave.I turned around and left, intending to take a taxi and go back to the studio.When I stood at the intersection and wanted to take a taxi, a media car drove over. Originally, it drove past me. However, it drove back. A man with a camera suddenly got out of the car and took photos of me ferociously.As he snapped photos of me, he shouted, "Alina Jetson! Alina Jetson!"There was distance from here to Mitaka Group. The reporters there couldn't hear the man's shouting. However, the fact that I appeared in this sensitive place would cause a lot of sensation.Hearing the man's shout, the reporters there seemed to have recognized me and ran over in my direction in unison.I was so scared that I lifted my feet and ran.The reporters chased after me.Fortunately, I, who was alone, held a bag only and didn't w

    Originally, Oogway said that he would come pick me up after dinner but I said firmly that Marie would send me home. Hearing my words, he didn't insist no more.That night, we wanted to hung out till late. However, because of the children, we went home at about 9 p.m.After having fun with Aurelia for a whole day, Bryan was tired.By the time Marie dropped us at the door, Bryan had fallen asleep. I held him in my hands and walked in, only to find that only a small lamp was on in the vast house.There was no sight of Oogway in the room but Lacy and Janice.Both of them had an agitated look on their faces. I knew that the reason why they looked like this wasn't because of me but the other two in the house.Seeing me hugging Bryan, neither Lacy nor Janice spoke. I put Bryan in his room.He was exhausted from having fun. When I changed clothes for him, he just muttered in a daze.When I came out, I heard a rustling sound from the master bedroom.I heard a woman's voice as well and I fel

    As soon as Oogway left, Emily, who was at the door just now, came directly to the single sofa and sat down.As soon as she sat down, I said, "Get up." Janice and Lacy didn't expect Emily to be so bold. They both came over and said, "Emily Welch, are you that undisciplined? Get up quickly!""No, I don't want to." Emily didn't want to get up. She touched her thigh and said, "Alas! Mr. Oogway is so amazing. His c*ck is so large. And he last long. As he f**ks me, I enjoy myself so much."I frowned slightly.If I hadn't heard her words with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed that a 20 year old girl would say so. Lacy couldn't bear it any longer, saying, "Emily Welch, what are you talking about? You're shameless.""Am I shameless? Yes! Otherwise, can I enjoy myself?" Emily said happily, "You don't even know how powerful Mr. Oogway is. Look at my legs. I can't even stand firmly. I have been enjoying making love with him for so long a time that my legs are cramping.""Get up from the co

    I was stunned for a moment, "Why?" I thought to myself, "This matter, in fact, isn't groundless. And I believe that if someone with ulterior motives wants to get evidence for this matter, he/she surely will succeed."Marie sighed, "Your precious son is indeed capable of reversing the situation. Based on what my husband told me just now, it is Oogway and Dave who jointly handled this matter this time.""Oogway and Dave joined forces?"Hearing this, I even wondered whether something was wrong with my ears.Marie said mysteriously, "It's true. My husband texted me about this just now."I was somewhat speechless.Marie added, "My husband texted me again, saying the media who won't issue an apology and a notice of clarification within an hour, Oogway and Dave will join forces and screw them.""Is it true?"In my opinion, what Marie had said sounded so exaggerating that I was somewhat unconvinced."I don't know either. Let's wait and see."Hanging up the call, I began to browse the newsfeed

    As soon as I walked back into the corridor, I saw Oogway browsing through his cell phone outside. Seeing me, he frowned slightly, "What's wrong? How come you chased Mr. Johan to the bathroom?"There was a bit of ridicule in Oogway's tone. Even so, his expression was gentle.During this period, I had been by his side so the awkward atmosphere between us had been relieved a little.I walked over and thought about it. In the end, I told him about my mother.After hearing my words, Oogway suddenly put one of his hands on my back and held me in his arms. Looking down at me, he said with a quite gloomy expression on his face, "It's such an important matter. It's not until I discovered it that you tell me the truth. Could it be that I'm that unworthy of your trust?"He didn't speak aloud. Even so, I could hear that he indeed was angry.Holding me in his arms quite tightly, Oogway was increasing his strength little by little, making my body attached to that of his closely.I could sense the

    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

    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
