Chapter 1336Ruben said with a smile, “Your son is indeed the best reason for you two to get back together, but you have to think about the whole thing from her standpoint. For the sake of Brad, she has endured this marriage for eight years. It’s not just several months or a couple of years, but eight years!”“To let Brad grow up healthily and happily in a complete family, she has devoted her youth and happiness for so many years...”After saying that, he paused and turned to look at Luke, who was standing opposite.Luke was clearly in a bad mood. His face darkened and he stared back at him with sharp eyes.Pursing his thin lips, Luke wore a sullen expression.Ruben then continued, “You haven’t given her any happiness and care during your marriage, and she is already thirty years old. Do you know a woman’s youth is short-lived?”“If Brad is too young to stand and walk by himself and needs her mother’s care and love, Eileen would never agree to divorce.”“But Brad is eight years old now
Chapter 1337Ruben got her meaning, and he said, “Well, I’ll meet you at the company tomorrow. Have a good rest and you will get well soon.”Then he turned to look at Luke. “Mr. Bennington, please let go of me. Are you still going to grab my collar like this?”With a mocking smile, Luke directly pushed him away.But his mood had lightened a little bit.He was glad that Eileen didn’t ask him to go away.Ruben didn’t seem unhappy. He stretched out his hand and slowly smoothed the folds of his windbreaker. After saying goodbye to Brad, he left.Luke took a deep breath and his chest gradually stopped heaving. “Since you are not feeling well, I’ll take you to the hospital,” he said to Eileen.Eileen’s face darkened, and she pointed at the door with her white and slender fingers. “You also have to leave my room immediately!”Luke was slightly stunned, for he didn’t expect that she would drive him away.A wave of anger crashed through him. “You were so gentle to Ruben just now. Why did you t
Chapter 1338His childish words warmed her heart.She turned off the room light. The mother and son hugged each other, falling asleep.The moon outside the window was rising higher and higher, and the night was getting darker and darker.However, Eileen's body became hot, burning like a stove.She groaned, feeling uncomfortable.Brad slept lightly, aware that his mom was wriggling.He stretched out his short hand and turned on the light.He then saw her face was red. He gently touched her forehead with his palm.Instantly, his eyes widened!It was so hot!Just wrapped in a bath towel, he rolled out of bed, found his cell phone in his schoolbag, and called Luke. "Dad, Mom is running a fever. Her forehead is so hot!"At the sound of his voice, Luke was roused from his sleep. He bounced up, pulled his trousers over, and put them on. "Put on your clothes. I'll be right there!"When he left in the afternoon, she looked unwell. Afraid that no one would take care of her at night,
Chapter 1339The doctor was frightened. On his second try, Eileen instinctively struggled, unwilling to be pricked again.She was almost out of consciousness but could feel the pain in her wrist.She hated that pain.She felt a man's breath on her face. "Don't move. It will be okay soon..."The voice was gentle and affectionate. She had never been pampered like that before. Her heart lurched.She tried hard to open her eyes to see who was speaking to her.However, her eyelids were so heavy as if a stone was pressed on them. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open them....When Eileen woke up, the sky outside the window was already bright.She looked out the window only to find the unfamiliar scenery.In a flash, she lost all her sleepiness!As she was about to sit up, she noticed that she was put on a drip.Shaking her dizzy head, she tried to think back.What the hell happened last night!Brad walked in.She sat up and asked, "What's going on?"Brad replied,
Chapter 1340At first, she was indifferent to what he said.However, in the end, she stopped eating. Her eyes gleamed.If he had said that before, she would have been excited.But now...Unfortunately, they couldn't have their time again."I know that you can't forget what I did to you in the study, but I didn't mean to hurt you. I just couldn't control myself at that time!"The doctor said I'm suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. You only know that Zora died, but you don't know how she died..."Luke got up, sat on the edge of the bed, and faced her.Deeply gazing at her, he slowly explained the cause of Zora's death.Hearing what he said, Eileen couldn't help gripping the spoon. She had never known about it before.That beautiful woman died tragically!She was so pitiful."I always think that if I hadn't sent those photos to Cathy that day, and she hadn't gone to Zora, then the tragedy wouldn't have happened at all!"It's me who killed her. I am the culprit, so
Chapter 1341Her indifference finally enraged Luke.However, he could do nothing with her.She was determined to refuse him.His chest heaved violently. After a moment, he calmed down. He wasn't the person who could control his emotions before. If he lost his temper, a dozen people couldn't defeat him."Have you had enough? If not, I'll go and buy some more. By the way, what do you want to eat at noon? I'll buy it for you."Luke would have gone up the wall if she had treated him like that before.How could he say this to her with such a gentle look?Eileen lowered her eyes.She closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she looked calm."The caregiver will bring it for me from the canteen, so I won't trouble you. I almost forgot to thank you."Her polite words easily distanced herself from him.Luke clenched his hands hanging at his sides. He wanted to say something but finally didn't.He was struggling to keep his temper!He left, leaving Eileen alone in the ward.The
Chapter 1342Brad nodded and said, "I'll take care of Mom!" "I have to warn you about one more thing!"Luke narrowed his slender eyes and said in a deep voice, "You have to support me this time! Got it?" "Got it!" Brad answered quickly. After hearing Brad’s answer, Luke said with satisfaction, "Actually, it’s good to have you and your mom together." Brad tilted his head and looked at Luke in confusion.‘What is the benefit of that?’"If you stay with your mom, you are like the radar I put next to your mom. In other words, you are my spy.""I can know what's going on with Ruben and your mom as soon as possible. Besides, you will call me first when your mom is in trouble, then I can help your mom in time just like this time."Luke had his own thought. He believed that women were easily moved by getting timely help.Hearing what Luke said, Brad rubbed his head and asked, "Am I a traitor?" "No, you are a spy." Luke said with a smile.Luke seemed proud to have Brad as a sp
Chapter 1343 With intense curiosity, Eileen opened the photo albums. She found that all these photos were taken when they were in the canyon. She was a little surprised and also astonished when she saw these photos.‘When did he take so many photos?’ In the beginning, Eileen found many photos of Brad, who was either playing around or laughing. Some others were taken when he was splashing water or collecting leaves. Brad was smiling so wide at that time. When turning over this page, Eileen spotted there was a sentence at its bottom, "I hope he can always be so happy and smile like this. Luke." She recognized that it was indeed Luke’s handwriting.His handwriting was just like his character, wild and profound. Eileen's heart seemed to start beating faster. She continued flipping through the album and saw a photo of her. The photo was taken when she was sitting on a rock after she twisted her ankle. And her eyebrows knitted together in pain. Luke had teased her, which anno
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
