He sat on the bed and held my hand, and his face was gloomy. "I won't interrupt you if you don't allow me to disturb your work. But the precondition must be that you won't get sick.""I'm sorry, I was just...""Did you just try to calm yourself down using your job to avoid the comments on Internet?" Dave asked.I nodded and asked after thinking for a moment, "How is it going on the Internet? Is it better?""Yes, but you'd better read less of that and read more books." Dave rubbed my hair. "Do you want to go to the island? Marie said that you can be on holidays these days, I can take you there. You can ask your friends to go together, and we can also take Bryan with us.""Really?"I remembered that Kim had told me she really wanted to go there."Well, I had a wedding with Teresa there before. If you mind, I can reserve another island from the Maldives...""No, I don't mind. It's a good place."What's more, reserving another island would cost more money.That island was very good. I did
I called Marie.She and her husband were planning to take Bryan to walk around the island. Knowing what I told them, they immediately said, "You can take Bryan to the swimming boundless pool. We can take care of him, and the two children can play together with no problem.""This... "I was a little embarrassed.Marie said with a smile on the other side of the phone, "You are more than welcome. Go enjoy your couple's world."Hanging up the phone, I brought Bryan to the swimming pool. Aurelia was playing in the pool in a swim ring.Marie and her husband were lying on the chair.Seeing us coming over, both of them got up.At the sight of Aurelia, Bryan grabbed a swim ring aside, and also jumped into the swimming pool.Marie and her husband came over, and I said quickly, "Marie, Mr. Jerrold, I count on you to take care of Bryan."On the way to the island, Marie had introduced her husband officially to me.Her husband's name was Jerrold. He was the vice president of a new media company in
When we arrived at the cocktail party, it was already after six o'clock.It was the time of sunset. The sun was hanging in the west, and its light was not very intensive.From a distance, I could see that everyone, except for us, were already there.Bryan and Aurelia piled up a sand castle on the beach, Scarlett was accompanying them on the side.Kim and Desmond were sitting together, and the two of them were talking and smiling.Marie and Jerrold stood on the other side beside the children.As soon as we arrived, everyone came over, except for Bryan and Aurelia.Scarlett was the first one to come running."Mr. Mitaka!" She went up to Dave and said excitedly, "This is the first time I have been so close to a living Mr. Mitaka. Alas, he's so handsome. I can't regret my whole life even if I just take a look at him.""Scarlett." Marie called her loudly.Scarlett immediately changed her words. "Mr. Mitaka and our Goddess Alina standing together. They are really a perfect match between a t
Drops of water slid down along the perfect mermaid line from his upper body.I couldn't help but swallow hard when I saw this. Every cell in my body was mobilized when I saw him like this.I took a few steps forward, reached out and wrapped my arm around the man's neck. I looked up at him and only said two words, "I want..."I felt surprised by my own actions.I looked at him with my bleary eyes, and my mind was in chaos.I was sober but there was some strangeness from the wine that Kim gave me...I frowned. "The first glass of cocktail...""If you want me, I'm all yours."Dave directly interrupted me. He picked me up and walked inside while kissing me.He also drank a lot, and the faint aroma of wine mixed with the smell of tobacco swept through me.All of a sudden, my whole body turned greedy. I kept clinging to him.He carried me and walked step by step to the big sofa outside, which was originally used for basking in the sun. He threw me on it and pressed me down.I remembered w
"Please Reed, I beg you, I've never asked you for anything, and I also know how bad I have been treating you, but please, help me out here, just this once." Lita pleaded.Reed's back was turned to her, she was in deep thought, what Lita was asking of her is something she just can't do, she knows her mother and father will definitely kill her if they find out. Lita's wedding is tomorrow, their father owes a rich billionaire, and since they couldn't pay their debt, the man decided to take Lita as his wife. Lita was Reed's younger sister and she was the most beautiful, thereby, making her the most loved. Everyone in town admired Lita and no one ever seems to notice Reed. Even their parents favored Lita the most. Lita was in love with someone else, a guy who claims to be wealthier than the man Lita was suppose to marry. Lita has fallen head over heels in love with him due to the fact that he claims to be richer, and now, Lita was planning to elope with this guy. Now, she wants Reed to
Next day.... Reed woke up with a start as she heard someone banging on the door loudly. "Open this door right now Reed." Her mother yelled from behind the door. Her heart skipped a beat, she thought her parents would have realized that Lita was gone. She hurriedly got down from the bed and rushed to open the door. On opening the door, she was welcomed with Helen's hateful glares. "G.. good morning mother." She stuttered. Instead of replying to her greetings, Helen rewarded her with a slap. "Are you forgetting what day today is?" "Today is your younger sister's wedding? She should be getting ready already, and instead of you waking her up and helping, you are busy sleeping." Helen yelled. Oh no, mother has no idea about Lita fleeing. Reed thought. What should I do? She panicked. "Go prepare breakfast, then go get Lita and help her get ready." Helen said, then turned to leave. Oh no, I have to break the news to mother, we have to leave this morning. Reed ran after Helen. "Mot
Dave was staring at his bride from the corner of his eyes, he was glad that he'll be getting married to the most beautiful lady in town. "Do you, Lita Defiant, take Dave Mitaka to be your husband?" The priest asked in a loud voice. Reed didn't answer, her heart was beating so fast and she was sweating profusely. Her mother has strictly warned her not to take her veil off until she gets to Dave's home. She was already imagining what Dave will do when he finds out the truth, what will happen to her when he finds out he was married to her, the ugly one and not her beautiful sister. Dave frowned deeply, his bride was taking so much time to answer and it was getting on his nerves, he was a man with little patience. The priest cleared his throat loudly, then he repeated his question. "Do you, Lita Defiant, take Dave Mitaka to be your husband?" Dave nudged her arm, bringing her back to reality. "I I do." Reed stuttered. A small smile appeared on Dave's lips. "Do you, Dave Mitaka,
The veil fell from Dave's hand when he saw Reed's face. "W.. who are you?" He asked in shock as he moved back a bit. Reed bit the bottom of her lips nervously. She raised her head to look at Dave, and he looked like he'd just seen a ghost, or rather, he'd just seen the most ugliest looking person ever. "I asked you a question, who are you?" He barked, causing Reed to let out a fearful yelp. "Where is Lita? Why are you here instead of her?" "I... I'm her elder sister." Reed stuttered. "What?" Dave said in shock. Reed wasn't surprised that he didn't know her, after all, her parents never allowed her to meet him whenever he comes by. They believe if he sees her, it'll bring them bad luck, so whenever Dave comes to see Lita, Reed was asked to stay in her room and not come out. "S s sister?" "Lita has no sister, who the fuck are you?" "I told you, I'm her elder sister, Reed Defiant." "This is crazy, I can't believe this." "Where's Lita? Why are you here instead of her?" Dave

"Is there anything else?""That is.. We just wanted to know why Teresa would go there. Did you ask her out? And the car accident...""I didn't ask her out. I had a project there. I thought my partner would be there. I was about to take a taxi back after my partner left. I didn't expect to meet Teresa." Since Finn asked, I explained at once. "She insisted on treating me to coffee in the middle of nowhere. I didn't agree. As a result, there came a car behind. She pulled me and fell down, and then she was hit by the car."I said in one breath.Finn, who was on the other side of the phone, seemed to be stunned. "So...""So, if there is any information on the Internet saying that I pushed her, I can only prove the facts by checking the nearby CCTV." I said, and added, "Also, I am not interested in whether you are my biological father or not. Naturally, I will not test DNA with you. If Teresa is awake, please tell her that she doesn't have to be wary of me."Finn didn't expect that I would
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
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
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
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
