I spent another week in Dave's place. There seemed to be no change in my life. As usual, I washed the curtains every day.Although the water was a little cold, I only had to soak the curtains in the water. So I got used to it soon.It was just that I had been coughing all this time. And recently, I felt more and more pain in my chest.That day, I hung up the curtains and prepared to go back to my room to have a rest. Upon reaching the door, I saw Dave in his wheelchair blocking the door."Mr. Mitaka." Based on my impression, I hadn't seen Dave for a few days.Looking at me, Dave didn't have any expression on his face. However, hearing me cough, he frowned slightly and said in a cold tone, "You have been coughing for a long time. Why haven't you gone to see a doctor? Do you want to infect her as well?"Her?Oh, he is referring to Tillie.Hearing his words, I was a little sour in my heart.I knew that he did all of these to deceive me. Despite so, I couldn't help but feel upset.Lowerin
Knock. Knock. Knock."Sister Alina? Are you okay?"Tillie's voice came from outside the door.At this moment, I couldn't care about anything else. Wrapping myself in a quilt, I opened the door and said, "I... I seem to have a fever."Hearing my words, Tillie quickly reached out to touch my forehead "Why is it so hot?! I'll call an ambulance for you.""There's no need for that. I..."I originally wanted to refuse her, thinking that I would be fine after taking some medicine. However, upon finishing my words, I felt that everything in front of me went black.Then I fainted.I felt Tillie help me up. Vaguely, I could hear her calling an ambulance.Despite being weak at this time, I wasn't completely unconscious.I could feel a few bodyguards putting me on the bed and that someone fetched a thick quilt and covered me with it.The lights in the room were on. I opened my eyes slightly and saw that Tillie was next to me. There were two shallow red marks on her neck.Oh, it was hickeys.I p
Tillie came out from behind me. Glancing at me, she walked to Dave's side.Dave reached out and grabbed her hand.Tillie looked at me jealously and said, "What are you talking about?""Nothing. She's leaving tomorrow." Dave said flatly.Seeing that the two of them were holding hands, I felt as if my heart was being twisted that I couldn't even breathe.I stood where I was as if I had finally found a reason to say my last few words.Bowing slightly, I clenched my hands together and said to Dave, "Mr. Mitaka, since all is well with you. I'll leave tomorrow morning."After that, I turned around and left. I didn't even want to look at them again.If they were acting, admittedly, they did fool me.Back in the room, I finished my remaining work and left a message to Marie, 'I will come back to the studio tomorrow. See you there.'After turning off the computer, I packed my things up. Despite having been living here for a long time, I didn't have many things with me.Sitting there and stari
I, who wasn't a maid anymore today, no longer needed to put on the clothes for maids.Having finished my work in advance yesterday, I was idle today.I had roamed around the manor yesterday.After lunch, I couldn't stay in the room anymore. Somehow, I went up to the second floor.By this time, Dave surely had finished his lunch and was in his room.When I went up to the second floor, I didn't see Tillie.'Could it be that she was in Dave's room?''Well... that is possible. After all, they...' Thinking about this, I felt a burst of uneasiness in my heart. Gently raising my hand and clenching it into a fist, I wanted to knock on the door.'However, if the two of them happen to make love in the room and I just go in like this, won't I disturb them from having fun?''Forget it.'I turned to leave..."Bang!"A loud noise came from inside the room!For a moment, I was anxious!"Dave!"I was so scared that I knocked on the door in a hurry!However, no one responded from inside or came to op
'How could it be so coincidental? that we are in such a situation now...''This room is quite soundproof. If Dave had been in the bathroom, no matter how loud the sound was, I couldn't have heard it.''And if it had been two seconds later, I might not have heard the sound.''In other words...'For a moment, countless guesses popped up in my mind. And all of them seemed to be proving..."You..." As I was about to say something, Dave in front of me suddenly pressed my lips.He stopped me from finishing my words.However, the subtle look in his eyes had told me everything.It turned out that he wanted me to stay as well.Before I could say anything, he hooked his arms around my waist and looked at me with a serious expression, "Are you sure you want to stay? If yes, you will have no chance to leave me in the future.""Who told you that I'm leaving? I...""I have to make it clear that the nerves in my legs have been damaged. Three months later, I will do surgery. Once it fails, I probably
Holding me in his arms, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry. Give me some time.""I'm not in a hurry." Blushing, I gently pushed him.But he, who didn't feel ashamed, continued to hold me tightly in his arms, "It's the greatest shame of a man to fail to satisfy his woman.""You will be better." I held his face and tilted my head, "In fact, I am satisfied by seeing your face every day."Although there were traces of old age on his face, he looked much more masculine instead.Compared with his salad days, he was more attractive to me now.That night, he asked me to move over to his room.I went downstairs and got my luggage. Even so, all the maids had received the news. As soon as I went over, they all looked at me in unison.Pretending that I didn't see anything, I went into my room, packed up my things, and walked toward the elevator.Before I could get in, Tillie ran over and said, "Alina, I'm sorry."At this time, she smiled sweetly, looking innocent.It was unknown whether it was b
After breakfast, Dee came to report to Dave.Before leaving, Sandra came to Dave's study to bid him farewell. Upon entering the room and seeing me, she looked slightly surprised and stood where she was for a long time before saying, "Thank you for taking care of me these few days, Master, Alina." Hearing her words, Dave pulled me to his side and said calmly, "Your work is over. Call me Mr. Mitaka in the future. For the film I promised you, the crew will contact you later." Then he said, "Okay now see you."Apparently, Sandra didn't want to leave. But Dave didn't want to talk to her at all.She bit her lips and hesitated for a long time before leaving unwillingly.After she left, Dave put down the documents in his hands, saying to me, "Let's go.""Where are we going?" I didn't understand.Stretching out to pull my hand, he said in a gentle tone, "Let's move back." I looked at Dave somewhat surprisedly.To tell the truth, I had decided to tell Marie that I couldn't go back to the com
Upon coming out, I saw Dave standing at the door.Seeing Dave, I was slightly startled, "Why are you here?"He monitored the wheelchair and went a little further forward. Staring at Bryan, he said, "Now I realize that I'm indeed not a good father." Hearing him say so, I knew that he surely had heard what Bryan had said just now.I comforted him. "He enjoys playing with you and wants his father's company."Seeing how Bryan treated Jason back then, I had found out it.Jason stayed in my house for a few months only. Even so, Bryan had a deep attachment to him. Later, I forcibly drove Jason away from my home. Bryan didn't show anything at first. Even so, every time he was playing games, he would sit there in a daze.He wouldn't say anything even though I asked him. But once, when I came out of the kitchen, I heard Bryan, who was playing with a puzzle, muttered, "It will be better if Jason was here..."At that moment, I realized that I shouldn't have driven Jason away.Dave took my hand a
At the mention of Teresa, Finn's attitude was different from Katy's. He seemed to have no idea about Teresa's heartlessness.He looked at me and said, "Reed, it was my fault. I shouldn't have flirted with Jessica because I was married. But, but I really couldn't control myself. During that ime, I really loved her, even now I..."Finn didn't go on, but his face was full of regret.I narrowed my eyes and looked at him. Then I sneered, Mr. Finn, do you have a dead brain? Or do you have a bad memory? A few months ago, you dropped a card and said you wanted to draw a line to keep your distant from us. Don't you remember?""You cheated my mother's feelings and took her to the City. She was a healthy person before, but she was driven crazy by your wife, who is a vixen. The Newman family didn't accept her, and I grew up in a family that didn't love me. How can you be so shameless to call me daughter?"Originally, my mood was very calm. Looking at Finn, I felt like I was watching his play. How
Pigs might fly. Katy came to meet me!When I saw her, I didn't think much and turned to leave. Katy saw me and rushed out, "Alina, I'm here for you."Her voice was loud, and several colleagues looked over. However, I had no intention of entering the meeting room. Standing at the door, I looked at her with a little vigilance and sked, "Mrs. Katy, I don't think I have anything to do with you. What can I do for you?"Looking at my attitude, Katy was not angry at all. She said with a smile, "Come in. I have something to tell you.""Let's talk about it here. After all, we haven't gotten on well before. What if you hit yourself and blame it on me?" I said.There was CCTV in the conference room but I said so on purpose.In fact, I am not afraid that Katy will hit me. I am afraid that I can't help hitting her.Hearing this, Katy was a little embarrassed."No, no, come in, I'll only talk with you." She seemed to be afraid that I wouldn't go in, so she added, "Do I have to beg you."Beg me?
Bryan had been treated for a week.The fever had also subsided, and his vitals had also stabilized.These days, it's Janice who delivered food to me and Bryan.Today, Janice sent food again. There were vegetables, ribs, fish soup, and rice.Bryan's appetite recovered well, and he ate a big bowl of food in a short time.After the meal, I found that the weather outside was good, so I wanted to check with the doctor to see if I could take Bryan out for a walk.The doctor checked Bryan and agreed.Janice went to the backyard of the hospital with me.There was a small garden in the backyard, surrounded by many benches. Other patients were sitting on benches, basking in the sun."Miss Jetson."When I was walking with Bryan, someone called me from behind.I looked back and saw that it was Eunice."Miss Eunice?"I was a little surprised, so I quickly let Janice take care of Bryan and walked over to Eunice.Eunice wore a cloth hat. I could see at a glance that there seemed to be no hair under
Desmond's face turned pale. "No, that was before I met you, I really haven't messed with anyone since I met you, I swear...""Really? I've seen several of them. Next time, if you want to deceive me, make drafts first."Kim's face was full of mockery.I could see Desmond was sweating. Не showed a pleasing smile on his face, put his palms together and winked at me.I knew that he was asking me to help.I tugged at Kim's arm and said, "Alright, a prodigal who returns is more precious than gold. Forgive him for the mistakes he made before.""That's right! They are previous mistakes!" Hearing my words, Desmond immediately cast a grateful look at me.He also put on an expression of gratitude.Kim couldn't stand it. She looked at Desmond and said, "I forgive you because my Reed said to. If you dare to do it again, I'll break your leg!""Which one?""Both!""I don't dare, I won't!"They left joking.I watched them get into the elevator. I felt half of my worries had been put to rest.The othe
I looked at Oogway and didn't know how to answer for a while.He turned to look at the ward and said, "I'm no longer young. I can distinguish what I am obsessed with."Although he didn't look at me, I could tell from his expression that he was serious.Which made me sure that what he had clung to was really not like what I thought.I also followed his gaze and looked into the ward.In the ward, Bryan was looking at us.When he found that I was looking at him, he forced a smile and waved at me.I waved back.When I thought of Bryan being fine soon, my heart, which had been hanging, gradually relieved.Oogway must have seen our interaction, so he let out a chuckle.When I turned my head to look at him, he happened to look at me as well.He leaned forward slightly and asked seriously, "Do you know why Dave agreed to marry the Defiant Family?"I was a little confused by him for mentioning this.Oogway saw through my doubts and continued, "Because I found Lita and told her about what happe
Oogway looked at me, and his eyes were cold.For the sake of Bryan, I couldn't care so much. I took the man's arm and said in a friendly tone, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I won't go to the bar again. Please forgive me."Oogway looked at me saying nothing.I didn't know what he meant.I stared at him quietly and didn't know what to do next.What else does he want me to do?My mind wandered, but I was already fully prepared for anything that could happen.After a while, Oogway put the ring in his pocket, stood up and said, "Let's go.""OK!"I thought he had forgiven me, so I hurried to follow him.We sat in his car together.The smell of alcohol lingered in his car.I was a little embarrassed but I didn't say anything.Oogway started the car and drove out of the community.The car drove for a while before I noticed that it didn't seem to be heading toward the City Hall, so I got nervous again and looked at Oogway, "Where are we going?""To pick up Bryan."He kept his eyes on the road as
Oogway picked me up and carried me into the car. I looked at him as he started the engine. I grabbed his arm and said, "I don't want to go home.""You don't?" He raised his eyebrows slightly."If I go back like this, they will be worried. Please help me... Call Kelvin and tell him I'll not go home today."I was so drunk. They will be worried about me if I went back. After all, I would not drink for no reason.Oogway nodded. I sat in the passenger seat and listened to him call Kelvin.When he hung up, he handed me the phone and started the car, "Is it okay to go to our home?"Our home?Oh, I know where it is.I nodded.I was going to be his wife anyway. That place was going to be our home in the future.I wouldn't be able to escape the reality.After a while, I fell asleep dazedly. However, maybe it was because I was in Oogway' car, I didn't sleep too deep.Not knowing how long had passed, I felt the car had stopped and he carried me.It was pitch black in front of me. I opened my e
In the evening, even the most prosperous place in the City was quiet. Around the high office buildings, there were only a few lights that were still on.I drove to the gate of Mitaka Group.I got out of the car and went to the entrance.The entrance had been closed. I wanted to go in, but a security guard came over and said, "It's closed."I looked up at the large building, except for the security room lights being on, the whole building was all dark.It seemed that Towering High was very kind to the employees, and there was not even a person working overtime.I didn't know what I wanted to do here. I hesitated for a moment, turned around and left.Back in the car, I continued driving.Finally, I found a lively place.On both sides of the road, rows of luxury cars were parked. At the entrance, the young men and women dressed in various kinds of clothes were chatting at the door, and some people were vomiting in the tree pits.Liquor.I wanted to drink.Perhaps if I was drunk, I would
Oogway put his arm around my waist and said to Teresa, "Miss Teresa, you are also a famous lady in this City. Whether in terms of social status or background, you are better than my Alina. But men love her, not you. Don't you think it's shameful? What are you still arguing for?"He made Teresa's face turn pale in a few words.She stared at Oogway and said with a fake smile, "Well, well, what's wrong with you? Do you believe she loves you and is willing to marry you just because she says? Tell you what, Oogway, she and Dave love each other no matter where they are!""Since you know it, what are you clinging to?"Oogway asked her.Teresa looked at Oogway and sneered. "Then what are you clinging to? We are all clinging to the same thing. Why do you ask me?"Hearing what Teresa said, Oogway's face was still calm.He drew back his hand, propped both elbows on the table, looked at Teresa and said slowly, "How do you know that we are clinging to the same thing?"Teresa suddenly became speech
