The male voice sounded like the tune of a cello, which was low and pleasant.Reed who was drunk was picked up by the man. He tossed her onto his shoulders like a sack of patotoes and walked out of the bar whiles Reed was sccreaming to be put back down."Put me down!""Put me down!"The man threw her onto the passenger seat. For a moment, Reed who was drunk succumbed to her imaginary thoughts. Aiming at the thin lips in front of her, she kissed him immediately.Reed who didn't know how to kiss, kissed him in a stiff manner. Her lips were on his lips for only a second, when he pushed her away hurriedly. Then he said in a tone of extreme disgust, "You're so cheap and you don't even have a basic sense of shame."Reed looked at his black eyes with a lost look as she curled up her lips and smiled, "I am not cheap at all. You are my first man. But for her, you aren't."There was a gloomy look on Dave's face. He cupped her chin with his hand directly and asked word by word, "What did you sa
The ringtone continued playing. Seeing that Reed wasn't intending to answer the call, Kim said directly, "I'll pick it up for you."Seeing Kim proceed to answer, Reed hurriedly grabbed the phone from her and and answered. "Hello.""Where are you?" Dave's impatient voice came from over the phone.Reed looked at Kim and responded, "I'm at my friend's place.""Come home in an hour."After saying that, Dave hung up without giving her any chance to refute. His words were like an imperial edict. Although Kim kept telling her she shouldn't do as he said, Reed dared not do so.At Dave's Villa, Reed knocked on the door a minute before the deadline.Dave opened and looked at his watch, "Did you do it on purpose?""What?" Reed looked at him confused.Dave didn't respond to her and ushered her in.Inside, he pointed to a file bag on the tea table, and said, "Sign this.""What's this?" Reed asked as she walked over and took out the documents from the file. A credit card fell out as a result.There
It turned out that although Dave didn't believe what Reed had said, he was actually looking into Lita's past.Knowing this made Reed's mood a little better. She replied some what uninterested, "What does it have to do with me? After all, the Mitaka Family is a rich and powerful family. Is there any problem for them to investigate the soon to be wife of their heir?"The corridor was very dark and Reed couldn't see Lita's expression. Lita was silent for several seconds and Reed thought she had given up so she added, "If there's nothing else, I'll be heading inside now."However, just as she was about to walk away, Lita grabbed her arm and laughed strangely, "Reed Defiant, do you think you can take up my position in this way? I just want to tell you that you are simply daydreaming!"Then, she suddenly let go of Reed's arm and took two steps back as she shouted, "No, no! Help!"Then there was a loud noise in the dark corridor. The sound of someone rolling down the stairs resonated in t
At around dawn, Reed was awoken by the sound of an ambulance. She stood up from the ground and stretched whiles yawning. She looked around the parking lot for Dave's car. Knowing he was still in the hospital, she went to guard the main entrance.Not long after, Reed saw Dave's car coming out from the parking lot. She couldn't care less about anything else as she rushed straight up!The car was not driving fast and it stopped just when Dave saw Reed.Dave got out of the car and Reed walked up to him to explain the incident to him. All she wanted was for Dave to not go after Kim but as soon as she took a couple of steps, she felt dizzy for no reason. A second later, everything went dark and she passed out!By the time Reed woke up again, she was in a single ward. There was a woman in her fifties in the room. She knew at a glance that she was the servant of her grandma, Judith Defiant.Reed spoke weakly, "Stacy..."Stacy looked back and saw that she was awake.Stacy hurriedly said, "L
Judith then asked, "Reed, I heard from June that you spent the night with Dave on the wedding night, right?"I nodded my head in a daze, wondering why Judith would ask these questions.After that, Judith said, "According to June, after that day, although the matter had been cleared up, Lita hasn't moved to live with Dave."After hearing this, Helen immediately stood up and explained, "That's because Mr. Mitaka said that he owed Lita and he would like to find a good land to build the best house as Lita wishes so that they can live there."I felt a stinging pain in my heart for some reason.Dave indeed cared about Lita very much. How could his feelings for Lita be easily provoked by a few words of mine?However, Judith's next words shocked everyone, "Well, since Reed had spent the night with Dave. In that case, Reed should stay married to Dave."When I heard this, it took me five seconds to figure out what it meant.Helen and Thomas were the same. When I came to my senses, Helen stood
Seeing that I didn't speak, Dave increased the strength in his hand as if he was about to crush my chin. It hurts, but I bit my lips tightly to prevent myself from making a sound.Seeing that I didn't say anything, Dave said, "Reed Defiant, tell me, how did you fool the Head of the Defiant Family and managed to get her to speak up for you?"The strength in his hand grew stronger. He let go of my chin, grabbed my waist with his big palm, and was about to tear my clothes off directly!I was so angry that I struggled and finally shouted, "Don't..."He raised his hand and pressed a button then a black partition slowly rose between the front and rear seats of the car... As the division was completely raised, the rear seat had become a closed space.Regardless of my resistance, Dave didn't have any and he went straight into me.I was in so much pain that I finally couldn't help but scream out yet he still didn't stop.Because of the limited space in the back seat, he was half kneeling on
Reed's POV:I didn't go back to Dave's villa instead, I went back to Kim's house. Kim happened to be at home. Seeing how moody I was, she pestered for a reason. After countless questioning, I finally told her the truth.Knowing the whole event she asked, "Speaking of you grandmother, is she doing this for your own good or setting you up?""She's doing it for my own good." I had a positive answer for that. I believed that even if everyone was not doing it for my own good, she was.Kim nodded, placed her arm around my shoulders, and said, "Well, it's your day today. Let's go. I'll take you to have some good food."Although I couldn't bear to spend her money, I couldn't stop her........................We chose a hotpot restaurant. There were not many people in there. We soon found a place and ordered some hotpot alongside some beer. After rounds of drinking, I didn't seem to be in a bad mood anymore. We kept having fun till 12 a.m.Since it's been a while we both went out together
It was pay day today. Kim had already repeatedly told me early this morning that I should treat her to a meal after getting payed.In order to not let her wait, I got off work a bit earlier than usual which rarely happened.As soon as I walked out of the office building, a man in a suit came over and said politely, "Hello, Miss Defiant. I am Mr. Mitaka's driver. He asked me to pick you up."It was closing time and people around me looked at me with strange eyes.For a moment, I was in a trance, "Mr. Mitaka? Dave Mitaka? Why would he send someone to pick me up?"The driver explained, "The Chairman wants to see you, that is, Mr. Dave's grandfather."Thinking of the phone call from a month ago, I felt repulsion in my heart and also feared that Dave would insult me in front of his grandfather. However, I had no choice but to go.Helplessly, I followed the driver into the car.The driver took me to the DIOR Department Store first and gave me a Black Amex bank card, asking me to go in and b
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
Oogway wasn't in a hurry. He slowly opened his mouth, "In fact, speaking of the dealership of this drug, across the whole country, there is at least...""Well, she was slow witted. My parents took her girl away and abandoned her, stimulating her in an instant. Then she was more out of her mind and scratched my mother's face, making it covered with bruises! So my parents sent her to a mental hospital!"James couldn't hold it in any longer and blurted it out in an instant.It turns out that my mother had experienced these. Then who on earth is my irresponsible father? According to what Kelvin said, my mother was beautiful and smart. When she left European Architecture, she was a normal person. How come she went crazy after returning to the City?I asked, "Which mental hospital did they sent her to?"James waved his hand, "I sincerely don't know this. That's all I know. I've said everything that I can say. As for the others, I have no idea about them.""Okay." Oogway nodded, "I'll ask m
