"Jason," I interrupted him, "You'll have your own life in the future at last. When you meet a girl of your own, you can take her out on weekends or hang out with friends. You don't have to help me all the time. And then Bryan will be older, he can take care of himself and doesn't need others to help."I had to make it clear to him. Otherwise, I was afraid that he would go further and further on a road that should not belong to him.Jason lowered his eyes and said nothing.He turned to face the gas stove and said, "The meal is almost ready."When I looked at him, I only felt that the boy's face was blushed scarlet, and it was somewhat abnormal.That night, after dinner, Jason played with Bryan for a while. At 9:30 p.m., I brought Bryan upstairs to sleep.Bryan didn't fall asleep until I told him two extra stories.After he was asleep, I tiptoed out of his room.I thought it was time to talk to Jason. I was considering that I would not ask him to come since the winter vacation ended.W
When we got in the car, he sat in the copilot seat of my car, and I drove back.All the way, he was giggling.I looked at the rearview mirror on my right several times and saw that he was smiling. I was a little speechless and asked him, "What's wrong? Have you lost your mind because of the fever?""No, I'm just happy." Answered Jason.I shook my head, "You are really silly. How could you be happy when you are sick?"Jason said nothing.The car drove home.I went upstairs to see Bryan. Fortunately, he was not awake, so I was relieved.I watched as Jason took his medicine and took a quilt for him before I went to bed.In the next two days, Jason got injections on time before returning to school.When he was about to leave, I touched the boy's forehead to make sure that he had recovered from the fever. I also prepared a lot of ordinary medicine for him and reminded him to take pills on time.When he left, I recalled and felt I was nagging as if I were an old mother.Life still continue
It took me about 20 minutes to get to the Viennese Restaurant.I looked at my watch and found that it was exactly seven o'clock.I stopped my car at the intersection and looked over. There was no car in the parking place of the restaurant, and several waiters were standing in a row at the door.Dave had booked the entire venue again.When I was about to start the car and move in...My phone rang.I looked down and found that it was Jason.I picked up the phone. Just as I was about to speak, it was noisy at the other end of the line and a voice came from there, "Is this Miss Alina?""What happened?"I was a little surprised because the voice on the other side of the phone was very loud as if he was very anxious.Also, that was not the voice of Jason."I'm Jason's roommate, Steve. Do you remember me?"Steve? Well, it seemed one of Jason's three roommates was called that.I admitted, "Yes.""Can you come to our school now? Something happened to Jason!" Steve said."What's wrong?"Hearing
When I saw this line of words, I finally heard footsteps.Looking up, I saw Jason on the second floor of the viewing platform with a teddy bear, which was almost as tall as him, and then he began to get down.As he walked, he said, "Alina, I like you. I know you think I'm young, but I can grow up for you. I didn't know the feeling of liking someone before, but after I have seen you and got along with you for some time, I know what it is like.""I want to see you all the time. I want to share my happiness with you at the first moment. I'm very happy as long as I can be at your side, I..."When he said this, he had already walked down. However, when he saw that I was crying, he was stunned and said nervously, "Alina, why are you crying? I..."I didn't wait for him to finish. I got angry.I stood up, walked over, and raised my hand."Pa!" A slap landed on his face. I uttered, "Boring!"Then I turned around and left.Jason quickly put down the big bear in his hand and chased after me.He
I looked at the kraft paper bag in the passenger seat, which was already a little creased, and felt a little sorry.He heard me saying nothing and said, "Take a picture as soon as I hang up. I don't want anything else." The man's words made me a little confused. I looked at the bag and narrowed my eyes. "Do you know what I bought for you?""I don't know." Dave denied it, but he still said, "I like whatever you bought for me, so you don't have to bother to buy anything else."So that was what he was thinking.However, Dave naturally didn't lack anything.I reached out and touched the bag. Then I nodded and said, "Okay, I see.""Well, since it is my birthday celebration that you will make up for, can I choose the place?""Where is that?""I'll send you the time and place in a few days." Dave said."All right." I agreed.On the weekend, Jason came to my house. However, he didn't come to pick up his luggage, only to apologize to me instead.I had packed up his luggage for him.When he c
During the weekend, I realized that Jason was very important to me and Bryan.I played games with Bryan, but because I was killed all the time, I was looked down upon by him.When I was killed for the 14th time, Bryan was even angrier. "Mom is so stupid. I want to get Jason back!"I sucked at playing games.I had no choice but say to Bryan, "Why don't we play some other games?""Forget it. I'll play by myself. You are even worse than Grandpa Kelvin!" The tone of Bryan's voice was extremely disdainful.I felt a little frustrated with my self esteem.Originally, I didn't have a low opinion of my ability, but when I played the game, my fingers didn't listen to me.I decided that I should find some time to practice on games.Two weeks after Dave's birthday, I finally received his message again.He didn't send me the address in a text message this time, instead, he sent me a GPS location.When I opened the location, my face was full of confusion.It was located on a mountain in the suburbs
It had just snowed a few days ago, and it was very cold on the mountain.Although the heater was on in the restaurant and the charcoal fire was lit, it was not warm in the restaurant because most of it was glass.I looked around and wondered if we were going to live here tonight.Wouldn't that be freezing to death!?Feeling worried, I looked at the two attendants and asked them, "Do you live here at night?""That's right."The two attendants nodded.I rubbed my hands and blew a breath, and a breath of white puff immediately rose in the air. I couldn't help but shiver. "Where do you live, is it the same temperature?"The attendants immediately shook their heads. "No, the room in the back is quite warm. Don't worry."They seemed to understand what I wanted to know.There was only one table in the hall, beside which there were soft sofas and a short bookcase with books.I found a sofa which was the furthest from the glass window and sat down. I sent Dave a message to inform him that I
The headlights of my car were on, and snowflakes were flying in the air under the lights.His legs were squeezed in the front. It took a lot of effort to pull him out!Because Dave was in a coma, it was very hard to move him. In addition, he was taller and heavier than me, so it was very hard for me to move him meter by meter.Even so, I used up nearly all my strength and pulled him to the back seat of my car.When I put him in the back seat, I found that his leg have been injured, and scarlet blood had stained his trousers.I had no time to examine his injuries. All I knew was that I had to immediately send the man to the hospital.However, when I closed the door and returned to the driver's seat to start the car again, I found that my car could not move anymore.The wheels were stuck in the snow. It couldn't move anymore.I tried many times, but the wheels just kept spinning in the same place and didn't move at all.Moreover, as I was trying to drive, the wheels sunk lower and lower
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
