After confirming that he was still drunk, I felt a little glad in my heart. However, I was a little nervous as well, fearing that it would be a trap.

As I was worried about what Oogway would do next, he suddenly sat up from the sofa with a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, tilting his head, "See? After leaving me, you are living a good life. So, no one needs me."

"It is not like this," I said subconsciously.

However, I didn't know why Oogway would suddenly say this.

Oogway had a completely blurred look in his eyes. He raised his head and looked up in my direction.

It was unknown whether he was looking at me or not.

Moving his lips slightly, he said, "Sure enough, no matter where I am, I'm redundant. No one will like me. Do you know? In fact, when I was young, my mother often scolded me."

"She scolded me for being a good for nothing, saying that I didn't have the ability to make my father stay with us and that I couldn't do anything well. So I had been more conscientious than

    Time passed by.At this time, the sound of a car suddenly came from the door. Then I heard the sound of someone opening the door with a key.All of a sudden, Oogway straightened up and stepped backward slightly.Looking at me, he raised his hand and gently touched the top of my head with his big and bony palms, saying lightly, "I'm sorry."Looking as gentle as usual, he curled up the corner of his mouth and put on a faint smile.After saying these words, he turned around and walked away.The door opened with Marie and Dave standing at the door.When the two of them saw Oogway, they immediately looked inside. Seeing that I stood there intact, they seemed to be relieved.Without saying anything, Oogway passed by the two of them and directly left.Soon, he disappeared into the night.Dave came in and glanced at the cell phone on the sofa. Walking up to me, he asked nervously, "Did he do anything to you?""No." I shook my head.Thinking of Oogway's words just now, I couldn't be more emoti

    Holding the cell phone tremblingly a little, I said, "You... You are despicable!""Well, I admit it." Oogway said in a lazy voice, "I'll wait and see how you will deal with this farce."After that, he hung up the phone.Looking at the screen of my cell phone, I was in a mess.How could this be? I suddenly felt that I seemed to have been played hard by Oogway.Most ridiculously, I had sympathized with him.Marie sat aside and looked at me, asking with concern, "What happened? What did he say?""He said he would wait and see how I would deal with this farce," I said.As I repeated Oogway's words, it was as if I could imagine the expression on Oogway's face.He should look playful and mocking.He should find it quite interesting to have played me at his fingertips, right?Ding!Ding!Ding!My cell phone rang. Among the three people who knew my number, one of them would never call me. So only the other two would call me.I took a look at it and saw that the caller was Dave.I picked up t

    By the time Kelvin, Jessica, and I arrived at the underground garage together, Marie had parked her car there. We got in the car, successfully bypassed the reporters from the exit of the underground garage, and stopped at the residential quarter where Kelvin had rented.Kelvin wasn't short of money. Although he didn't live here, he rented a large house with three bedrooms and one living room which was equipped with luxurious decoration and well equipped furniture.Jessica was very quiet along the way as if she knew what had happened. And it probably was because she knew that we were good to her that she was very cooperative.She did whatever we asked her to do.Wherever she went, she held the doll tightly in her arms.In the hospital, Jessica was always taken care of by nurses. Now she was at home, And Kelvin was a rough man. He could hardly take care of himself, let alone Jessica.I hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll get Dave to arrange for a few servants we know to come ov

    In the revelation, Oogway described his biological mother as someone single all over her life to guarding her love. And Jamin was an irresponsible Mr. Wrong.In fact, the revelation had nothing to do with me. If it did, it would be that back then, Oogway's mother was also a young girl in her twenties.After the fourth breaking news was released, the FB account that published these revelations announced that he would stop revealing more breaking news for the time being.Over the past four days, there had been four breaking news, making it like a carnival for reporters and netizens.Each social platform scaled up its server for this reason.Everyone loved to know the private life of a wealthy family. And some unpresentable stuff was popular as well.Sure enough, the four breaking news made the Newman Family, the Michaelson Family, and the Mitaka Family all in a mess.I calmed myself down, only to find that I seemed to have been kept out of the affair.These things didn't have much impac

    I took Bryan with me and went to the Hospital.Upon arriving at the hospital, I saw a cordon set up outside the hospital. And the security guards were guarding there.There were several commercial vehicles parked on the side. Apparently, they were reporters' cars.Before I got out of the car, I put on my sunglasses and a mask. Putting a cap on Bryan's head, I wrapped his neck with a scarf.As soon as the car stopped, I rushed into the hospital with Bryan in my arms.At this time, Jamin was already in ICU.After entering ICU, we saw Anita and Jamie both there and Oogway was nowhere to be seen.In fact, before I came here, I knew that he wouldn't be here. The reason why Jamin fell ill now was highly likely because of the revelation in the news.The news made Jamin's scandal known to the public. He, who was old, naturally couldn't stand this kind of stimulation.As soon as Bryan and I came over, Anita walked over directly, "How come you are so shameless as to come over here?""Anita." Ja

    Jamin moved his lips slightly, "I am ill." He knew why Bryan called him like this."Really? Then you have to do as the doctor says carefully. Be good. Get an injection and take your medicine. You'll be fine soon!"Bryan, who was young, had no idea that getting sick would be divided into several kinds of situations.He thought that Jamin was the same as him and that Jamin got a cold and a fever. In that case, Jamin could be cured by taking medicine and getting injections.Hearing his words, Jamin couldn't help laughing more brightly. And he said, "Well, okay. Great grandpa surely will do as the doctor says.""Okay." Bryan nodded, stretched out his hand, and patted Jamin's hand, saying, "Then, Grandfather, after you recover, I'll go have fun with you again."."Okay, okay." Jamin nodded slightly.As he spoke, his blurry eyes were moistened. He looked up at us after a long while and said, "Dave, Alina.""Grandpa."Dave approached Jamin. And I stood there.Seeing Jamin like this, to tell t

    At this moment, Kelvin finally came out of the room. Looking at us, he frowned and asked, "What's going on? As I took a nap, how come you made a scene like this?""Grandfather Kelvin! This woman beat my mother!" Bryan ran to the front of Kelvin at once.Kelvin asked, "What's the matter?"At this time, the servant, who had been chased by Jessica just now, said, "I... I took a leave and went home a few days ago. After arriving here today, I saw a doll and thought that someone had placed them here by accident..."Speaking of the doll, Kelvin understood everything and asked, "Where is the doll?""In... In Young Master Bryan's room." The servant seemed to realize something and immediately said, "I am going to fetch it now!"As soon as the servant left, Kelvin went over and said to Jessica, "The servant wasn't sensible enough. She will bring the doll to you later."However, at this time, hearing his words, Jessica didn't respond. Instead, she looked at me and said briefly, "My daughter."Ke

    The staff of the ambulance naturally sent Teresa to Way Hospital.After all, people from the upper class in all thought highly of it.Because of what happened previously, I got used to wearing a mask and sunglasses outside.Wearing sunglasses, I followed the doctor into the emergency room and saw that Teresa was directly wheeled inside.A nurse asked me to pay the bill for Teresa. And I did as she said.After everything was done, I sat alone in the corridor, feeling helpless.I didn't want to accomplish anything. I just wanted to be a good designer, do my job well, and be with Bryan until he grew up.As for the rest, I indeed didn't want them.But why did others get me involved in such chaos over and over again?What on earth did I do wrong?What Oogway had exposed last time quieted down a little. And now this thing had happened. I indeed didn't know what would happen to me next."Alina." I heard Dave's voice ringing above my head.Without looking up, I said simply, "I was set up. The

    My heart pounded against my ribs as I took a shaky breath, trying to steady my emotions. But as I turned to face the guests, my family, my friends, and most of all, the man standing just a few steps away, my voice trembled with overwhelming emotion."This isn’t just Kim’s wedding," I finally said, my voice thick with unshed tears. "It’s mine too."Gasps filled the air, followed by a stunned silence. Then, all at once, the crowd erupted into excitement.I heard my mother’s joyful sob, saw Kelvin blinking in surprise before his face broke into a smile. Kim squeezed my hand, winking, and Desmond chuckled beside her. But my eyes weren’t on them.They were on Dave.He stood motionless for a moment, his eyes locked on mine. Then, with the help of his crutches, he began to walk toward me, determination in every step.When he finally reached my side, he lifted a hand to my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek.“You’re crying,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion.I laughed shakily,

    Dave surely wouldn't say no to Desmond.Seeing that Dave had personally agreed, Desmond couldn't be more joyful.Hearing Desmond's words, Dave lowered his eyes slightly. Falling silent for a moment, he didn't promise Desmond immediately.I knew what he was hesitant about.In his current situation, it was difficult for him to stand on stage. He might need a crutch.As I was about to refuse on behalf of him, Dave spoke first, "Okay, no problem.""Then I'm leaving. I won't bother you two anymore!"Hearing that Dave had agreed, Desmond left.After Desmond left, I said with some concern, "Desmond is one of us. If you are in a difficult position, tell him directly.""I know." Dave looked up at the rehabilitation equipment on the side and said, "But we agreed on this a long time ago. I can't let him down."It made sense. Desmond had always been by Dave's side.They two should have agreed on this early.Dinner was a quiet affair, but in the best way possible. The kind where words weren’t alw

    Dave and I lived in the town for a while.When we lived together, Dave would make love to me against my will with the excuse that it would be conducive to the recovery of his legs.Frequently, we didn't go to bed until the middle of the night. I was so exhausted that I didn't even know when he had gone to rehabilitation in the morning.One and a half months later, Dave's legs had recovered to a great extent. He could walk for a short distance without a crutch.On the last day of the rehabilitation training, the doctor told us in the rehabilitation room that Dave could return to the City, saying that he could finish the rest of the rehabilitation training at home.Hearing this, Dave bought flight tickets on the same day.We went back and packed up our things before setting off.The next night, Dave and I landed at the airport.After going back home, Dave and I didn't get Bryan back to our side for the time being. Dave had been quite busy because of his work.He worked overtime after m

    Teresa walked gracefully and looked at us, asking, "What happened?"She looked as if she was watching a good show. From this, I knew that she surely had been eavesdropping inside for a while and that she surely had known what had happened by this time.Having been in contact with Teresa for a long time, these people were naturally close to her.Hearing her question, everyone told her what had happened.Teresa looked at me with an unconcealable smile on her face, saying to me, "People in this town are clean and simple. How can you act the same way as you did in the City? You are a discredit here.""He gave me the key." I defended myself.Teresa surely wasn't convinced as well, saying, "Even if you are lying, you have to make up convincing lies. Everyone knows that you and I are both kept outside here. He probably doesn't even know that you are here. How would he give you the key?"As Teresa spoke, she had a smug look in her eyes.Sure enough, after she finished her words, the ones arou

    Picking up my cutlery and taking a bit of rice, I said, "I'm leaving tonight. I'll come see you every night in the future.""Why?"Hearing this, Dave was a little puzzled.I chuckled, "I won't tell you! Anyway, don't let others know that I've been here."I didn't tell him why. However, Dave was so smart. Seeing my expression, he immediately said, "You want to keep her in the dark, right?"I nodded.Since Teresa had put in so much effort to put on a show, I naturally wouldn't let her act in vain.He nodded.However, when I left, I didn't climb over the wall again. Dave found someone and gave me a key to the back door locked all year round.I left through the backdoor.The next morning, I went to the hospital as usual.Teresa wore a blue and white dress with knee length today.Sitting on the opposite side of the road, she stared at the hospital door in a daze.When I went over, Teresa looked up at me and said with a hint of disdain, "I thought you were gone.""No, I didn't."There was a

    A long time seemed to have passed since we made love. However, Dave was quite familiar with my body. Hooking my arms around his neck, I looked at him and said, "I want you."I rarely said so.At this moment, I knew that by seeing what I did and hearing my words, Dave could be infinitely confident.Raising his head, Dave hadunconcealable excitement in his eyes.Reaching out and pushing aside the strands of hair on my cheeks, he said, "You have me.""You have me."After he said so, the ambiguous and warm atmosphere permeated the room.By the time I opened my eyes again, day...Someone outside knocked on the door. A nurse seemed to be calling Dave to do the rehabilitation training.I looked at Dave sleeping soundly beside me with my face slightly blushed. Last night, we had been making love for a long time. Dave seemed to have inexhaustible strength. One or two hours had passed only since we went to bed.Dave, like me, heard what the nurse had said outside. Without opening his eyes, he

    After I entered the room, it was dark inside with the curtains drawn. I couldn't see anything.Wondering where Dave was, I was sure that he surely had fallen asleep.I reached out to fudge around, trying to figure out the situation inside the room.All of a sudden, I ended up touching a soft and sturdy body.I was shocked.Then, I heard Dave say, "Leave quickly. Or I'll call a bodyguard."His voice was cold and emotionless.I couldn't help but shudder.I suspected that the bodyguard had betrayed me.As I was about to say something, I heard him say, "You surely know the situation of Michaelson Group well. With a phone call from me, Michaelson Group will close down tomorrow. At that time, you may not even afford to return to the City."It turned out that he mistook me as Teresa.Sensing that he was standing, I wondered whether Dave's legs had been healed."You... ""It's me."As Dave was about to speak again, I reached out and hugged him directly.While hugging him, I touched something

    Kim picked up the call and spoke in surprise over the phone, "You are making an international call.""I have something to tell you." Looking at the desktop wallpaper on my computer screen, I thought for a moment before saying, "Yesterday, I learned that Teresa and Dave might have a son and that he should be about the same age as Bryan.""What?"I could strongly sense Kim's surprise over the phone so I moved the cell phone a little further away from me.Kim continued, "That's impossible. What the hell is this? Didn't he ever tell you about this?"Holding the cell phone, I shook my head, "No, I knew it yesterday. And now I'm in a mess.""Well, regarding this..." Kim said over the phone, "In my opinion, you should ask Dave about this by yourself. After all, Teresa is good at disguising herself. You don't even know whether she is telling the truth or not. Nobody knows that she, who is a high ranking socialite in the City before, is a shrew in private, right? You'd better confirm with Dave

    I looked left and right.The wall guarding the hospital was made up of ordinary brick. It was only more than two meters high. In fact, the wall couldn't be of any deterring effect at all.After thinking for a moment, I said to the bodyguard, "Since you won't let me in, I'll go. Please don't tell Dave that I've come here, okay?"The bodyguard didn't know that I probably would make other moves.If he knew, I wouldn't have any chances at all.Looking at me, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.Fearing that he promised me nominally, I put my palms together devoutly and pleaded, "Please don't tell him.""Well, I won't."The bodyguard promised once again.Only after that was I rest assured.Seeing that I came out, Teresa stood at the door and looked sarcastic, "I originally thought you would be greatly respected. It turned out that you were kept outside as well."Looking at Teresa, I wasn't angry, asking, "Miss Teresa, you are a socialite in the City. I remember when we first met, you talk
