Chapter 1282"I didn't want to see him live in loneliness and in grief for the rest of his life. I thought it would be good to have someone by his side. Maybe he would be cheered up…" "But in the end, it turned out I was wrong. I overestimated myself. I could not make him happy. He hated me. I didn't get to live a single happy day either…" "Well, I've talked so much. I'm feeling tired. You must be tired of listening to me out. I used to think that without love, just for Brad's sake, I should stick with our marriage." "But I'm so tired. I'm exhausted. It had been eight years, countless days and nights. He was no longer relevant to me now. I gave him my first love and my years of youth. That was enough." "From now on, I want to live my own life. As for Luke, I don't love him anymore. I used to be a blind moth flying to the fire. Now I don't love him anymore. It's getting late. I should leave now. I'll bring Brad to see you in a few days. You haven't seen him for a long time…
Chapter 1283Seeing Kingsley nod his head in response, Luke was content. He was grateful. "Thanks!" Luke knew Kingsley's character very well. Although Kingsley used to be gentle and mild, if he got enraged, no one could turn him back. After the things Luke had done, Kingsley nodded to him at the occasion, which meant that he had forgiven Luke. Luke started his step and walked slowly forward. Suddenly, Sherman shouted from behind, "Luke!" Luke's brow furrowed slightly, he paused his step and looked back at her. Sherman had a smile on her face and shouted, "Eileen is really a wonderful woman!" Hearing her words, Luke paused. His lengthy body froze, and he stood still. He had never expected Sherman to say such words to him. He was surprised. Luke paused for a moment. Then he continued to walk forward. Kingsley took off his trench coat and draped it over Sherman's shoulders. "Why would you say that to Luke?" "I didn't want Eileen to end up like me. Even i
Chapter 1284 "Am I that perfect?" Kingsley looked deeply into Sherman’s eyes. Her simple words touched his heart. "Absolutely! Now you know how happy I've been since I'm with you." Sherman beamed at him. She blushed while saying the words. After a while, the two left, Kingsley’s arm wrapped around Sherman’s waist. The red roses behind them were swaying in the wind…On the other side… Eileen went to the company. It was the general manager of the company that gave her the interview. The manager was a little surprised to see her slightly lame leg. Eileen noticed the strange look in the manager’s eyes. She awkwardly withdrew her leg. The manager smiled, "Please sit down." "Thank you." "Are you married?" Eileen took a deep breath. "I've divorced." "I'm sorry." The manager apologized. Then she asked again, "Do you have children?" "Yes, a boy. Now he lives with his father." The manager nodded her head.In Eileen's case, she definitely had no intention of havi
Chapter 1285 "No, I’m not!" Brad shook his head, "I promised mom I'd behave. But I'm used to eating mom's cooking." Brad paused and watched his dad's expression carefully. Then he continued, "I want to go to mom's place to eat. Dad, you also ate more when we were at mom's place. Mom's cooking is delicious." Hearing Brad's words, Luke was irritated immediately. He lost his patience. It was like he was being poked at a sore point. He snapped, "You can eat if you want, or you can starve yourself!" Brad continued to beg him, "I won't go to mom's home after she leaves the country. Dad, is it okay?" Luke refused him bluntly, "No way! Don't even think about it! You want too much!" Then Brad was silent again. "If he doesn't eat much, get him what he wants. If he's being pettish, leave him alone! I want to see how long he could starve!" Luke glanced at Brad and warned the servant in a stern voice. Brad didn't dare to speak. He had always been afraid of his father, and now th
Chapter 1286A week passed in the blink of an eye.In the evening.As soon as he came back from school, Brad locked himself into his room, not eating.Sitting on the sofa, Luke glanced up at Brad's room and ordered Brandy, "Go upstairs and take a look.""Yes."Brandy was relieved.Mr. Bennington finally began to care about his son. This was a good start.He went upstairs and knocked gently on the door."Come in."Brandy pushed open the door.Brad was lying on his bed, watching a video.Brandy said, "Brad, it's time to eat dinner."Brad shook his head. "Brandy, I want to eat after making a cake.""You know how to do it?" Brandy asked in surprise."No, but I'm learning from the video. I want to make a cake myself."Brandy said, "We have a pastry chef at home. Let me take you down and ask him to teach you."Instantly, Brad's face softened. "Thank you, Brandy."They went downstairs. Brandy sent Brad to the kitchen and then came to Luke. Brandy told Luke that Brad was lear
Chapter 1287Brad inherited her genes. They were both good at acting.He threw aside the newspaper and said in a deep voice, "Come here!"...In the company.Eileen had adapted to the new work. She planned to earn enough money for chemotherapy and hospitalization.In the evening, the manager, Jayla Sampson, told the staff to go to the bar together after work.Eileen declined, "Ms. Sampson, I'm not feeling well. I want to go back home early."She had something wrong with one of her legs, so the bar wasn't suitable for her. People would make fun of her.Jayla shook her head. "Everyone else will attend. Why can't you?"Eileen wanted to refuse, but Jayla had already left.Resignedly, she intended to go through the motions quickly and leave the bar.After all, she had just joined the company. She needed to get used to it.Besides, Jayla was good to her. She had to go as a favor to Jayla.At the end of the day, everyone in the office cheered.Eileen was calm.Some of them had
Chapter 1288Meanwhile, Ruben slipped up.Only then did Eileen know that he was the son of the company's president."Keep it a secret for now." Ruben shook his head with resignation."Okay. I won't tell others."Eileen smiled faintly. "I'm not a gossip. Don't worry.""I trust you."Ruben laughed."I had never told other colleagues about it for so long but spilled the beans to you. The company is not as good as before. It's getting worse rapidly."Before I take it over, I have to know it very well and then make a change. My parents set up the company. Many people entered the company through the back door. They did nothing but occupy the positions and sideline the talents.""Just like you believe I'll keep the secret, I believe you can manage the company well. Now few rich second generations are as patient and determined as you. They are all pompous and unrealistic. Where there's a will, there's a way. That's always true."Ruben's smile deepened. "Thank you for your blessings.
Chapter 1289She had never spoken to him so calmly.Now, however, she felt at peace. She was satisfied with her progress.Hearing what she said, Luke didn't feel any better. Instead, he was annoyed.He said indifferently, "It sounds as if I was eager to come here. If Brad hadn't cried for you, do you think I would have brought him here?"Besides, if he hadn't been unable to stand because of the long wait, would I have asked the landlord for the key to bring him in?"But now I think that is superfluous. You don't want me to bring Brad here. You can rest assured. I won't do it again!"Luke was in an extremely bad mood.He shouldn't have been soft-hearted and listened to Brad!Therefore, he should continue his previous style, being cold and impersonal.Anyway, he didn't want Brad to be close to Eileen, which was not conducive to the development of Brad's character.Hearing this, Eileen wrinkled her brows involuntarily, saying, "You can ask the maid or the driver to take Brad ov
Chapter 1814Before Jazz came to pick up Essa, his elder brother told him he should give candies if he was blocked out of the door. The big brother got experience in his own wedding years ago. Jazz kept it in his mind. At the moment, under such circumstances, he generously distributed candies to everyone. Jazz was a smart guy! People were happy with the candies. They let him in and stopped making trouble for him. People were just having fun on their wedding day and making the atmosphere livelier. Essa's wedding dress was custom-made by the most famous designer in Paris. Summer had arranged it for her. It looked gorgeous on Essa. The wedding dress had a fishtail, which set off Essa's slender waist even more as if it could be grabbed in one hand. The dress was low-back, showing her fair skin. Under the light, Essa looked amazing! Essa was so beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful! Stepping on her crystal high heels, she walked slowly towards Jazz. The distance wasn't long,
Chapter 1813The neck was Essa's most sensitive spot. She felt itchy if someone touched her there, let alone that Jazz clung tight to there for so long. She could barely stand it. Her body was squirming timidly. "Don't seduce me!" Essa was angry, "I'm not seducing you! Just sleep! But can you not cling to me so tight?" "Why? Are you turned on by me?" Essa was lying with her back to him, her cheeks blushed, and she hissed, "Who is turned on?" ‘What the hell! The man is like a sex machine!’ "Since you are so sure of it, let me check you out." Essa wanted to kill herself, but before she did, she wanted to kill him first! "Are you lying, babe?" Jazz deliberately drawled. "Get away from me! If you don't want to sleep in the guest room, go sleep on the couch! I cannot sleep with you clinging to me so tight!" But Jazz ignored her demand. Essa's whole face had turned red, so red as if it was about to bleed. "Jazz!" "You can be louder. I'm fine with it anyway
Chapter 1812Jazz naturally had no objection because he couldn’t wait to get married. He had always been determined, and as long as he made the decision, he would never change his mind!Now that he had decided to marry her, he must do it!Essa had heard her words. Although she thought it was a little too hasty, she kept silent, giving tacit consent.They were getting married in fifteen days! It was really fast!But because the bridegroom was Jazz, she was not panicked at all. She was calm because cuddling up together with him like this made her feel happy.That night was not easy. Jazz was like a wolf who had been hungry for decades, and he would not let go of the delicious meat that had been put in front of his mouth.They had sex for another whole night. Although Essa was strong, she was no match for a man.Her legs and waist were so weak that she had to support her waist with both hands in order to stand up. She thought Jazz should not have been so horny even if he had hadn'
Chapter 1811Jazz lowered his head slightly and kissed her.Essa could not pretend to be sleeping any longer, so she opened her eyes and pressed her hands against his chest."Morning, baby." He stared at her tenderly and asked, "How did you feel last night? Are you satisfied?"She glared at him, not wanting to speak.But she didn't know her eyes were full of tenderness and love now.After the sex last night, Jazz could not resist such a temptation anymore.He bowed his head, intending to kiss her."Get up! I have to go to work! If you dare to kiss me now, I will definitely beat you up!"Jazz didn't kiss her but shrugged his shoulders.He was not afraid of her threat, but he knew it was her first time last night. He thought he could not ask her to make love again in the morning. Otherwise, she would be too tired.Essa was satisfied to see him give up. She glanced at the time and found she was about to be late, so she didn't want to waste time chatting with him anymore.But w
Chapter 1810"Why are you so sensitive?" Jazz smiled lightly, enjoying her current reaction."You’re talking nonsense! You are hugging me too tight. Back away..." She blushed slightly, keeping twisting her body.She had never had such intimate contact with a man before, so she felt hot all over and acted unnaturally."Do you think this distance is too close? We will be closer…"Essa couldn't take it anymore, so she stretched out her hands, pushed against his chest, and said, "Stop it!""Why? You have to get used to this. We will have more intimate interactions, so you have to get used to..."She felt a little scared about such intimate contact.Jazz pressed his body against hers tightly. The scenery outside was blurry at night, and the two of them were alone in the same room, so it was easy for them to become turned on, and sparks were flying between them.His long fingers began to take off her clothes.Soon, she was naked. Jazz picked her up and placed her on the bed."I'm
Chapter 1809Jazz opened the car door for her with a smile and said, "Baby, have an enjoyable time at work."After finishing speaking, he started the car and stepped on the accelerator, and then, the car disappeared without a trace, leaving Essa standing there in a daze.But she still needed to enter the police station to work. Even if she stood here for two hours, she could not solve the problem. There was no point in evading issues, so she decided to get in. Then, she gritted her teeth and walked in, keeping her eyes looking straight ahead.However, even if she didn’t look at others, others would still look at her. Along the way, many people stared at her.They had not expected Essa to be so open. She had actually done such a thing at the gate of the police station!Essa felt her cheeks were burning, but she still forced a smile and tried to be a thick-skinned person.She was hypnotizing herself.When she got into her office, she felt as if she had been flayed by the gazes
Chapter 1808"A few years. Why did you call him a bastard?""You still care about him? I just want to call him a bastard. Don't be silly. There are few innocent men like me. Think about it! It is cost-effective for you to marry me. You have never been married before, and neither have I. To be honest, with my appearance and status, it was not easy to stay single till now. Don’t you think it's very touching?"Hearing this, Essa was completely speechless."It's not touching at all. Are you sure you’re not impotent? Why are you a virgin till now? As you said, you have enough merits to fascinate others!"Hearing this, Jazz on the other end of the phone became sullen and said, "Are you doubting my potency?"Women’s suspicion was the most intolerable thing to men! How could she doubt his sexual potency? It had hurt his pride!"I didn't doubt it before, but you emphasized it over and over again. It is you that made me feel suspicious..." She took a sip of water. Compared to his exaspe
Chapter 1807Essa had told her that Summer was also from an ordinary family. Seeing she and Mark were so affectionate to each other, she felt relieved and believed that Mark was a good man.It was hard to imagine such a handsome man with a high status would be the same as an ordinary man when he was with his family.On the other side of the table, Essa was putting food on Jazz’s plate, while Jazz was picking out fishbones for her. Both of them had faint smiles on their faces, showing genuine love to each other.Essa’s mother let out a sigh of relief.After dinner, Mark insisted on sending the three of them home. Essa shook her head repeatedly and rejected because there were a lot of taxis outside the hotel."This is our first dinner together, so we must send you home. In this way, we can know where you live…"Although Mark's words were polite, they had an irresistible sense of solemnity.Jazz had wanted to refuse too, but after hearing Mark’s words, he swallowed the words back.
Chapter 1806Jazz walked over and handed her red roses."You're too high-profile!" Essa kneaded her forehead with her hand, feeling a headache."Don't you like it?" Jazz smiled."I like it very much." She took a deep sniff. The roses were exuding a light fragrance, making her mood good."My brother and sister-in-law want to have dinner with you and your family tonight. Do you want to meet them?"Essa blinked, "Didn't we meet before?""Yes, but it's not formal. This time, it will be a formal meeting at the Grande Hotel at eight o'clock in the evening…"Essa rubbed her forehead, then went home, and told her mother about the dinner. Her mother was a little worried. She had only met Jazz before, and Mark was a big shot that she could only see on TV. When he suddenly wanted to meet them, Essa’s mother felt nervous.Essa kept comforting her, saying there would be no problem because Mark was very approachable and easygoing.She then changed her clothes and put on makeup. Later, Jazz
